Chapter 401
Wang Qinian turned around and took the opportunity to ask, "How did you talk to Miss Zhou?"
"Our master has privately expressed his admiration for her more than once."
"He also repeatedly instructed that any requests from Miss Zhou be fulfilled while in custody."
After saying that, Wang Qinian knocked Wang Wushang and added, "Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
"Ah? My Lord, I've been out on the move lately and I'm unaware of this!"
While saying this, Wang Wushang also gave Zhou Zhiruo an apologetic and fearful smile.
This is completely different from what just happened!
Zhou Zhiruo's emotional value was instantly maximized. Not only did she feel extremely satisfied in her heart, but even the sisters and elders around her cast envious and expectant glances at her.
In their opinion, only Zhou Zhiruo can save Emei from the dire straits.
Following Wang Qinian's wave of his hand, the sharp-eyed Jinyiwei quickly let Zhou Zhiruo out.
Seeing this, the Emei elders and disciples all said nervously, "Zhiruo, you must find a way to save Emei."
"Yes, Senior Sister Zhou, my fate and our fate are firmly in your hands."
"Senior Sister Zhou..."
Your earnest advice and instructions made Zhou Zhiruo feel pressured.
"My fellow elders and sisters, Zhiruo will definitely do her best."
After saying that, she followed Wang Qinian outside, carrying the "hope of the whole village."
As they approached Xu Shan's office, Wang Qinian paused, motioning for his subordinates to leave. He then turned to Zhou Zhiruo and said, "Miss Zhou, I can't deny that the master admires you greatly. There's even a hint of admiration in his words."
"But in this case..."
"Prince Ning put pressure on the Donglin Party, and they followed suit. They wanted to use us, the Jinyiwei, to massacre the Emei people and thus stand in opposition to the martial arts sects."
"Your Majesty had no choice but to agree to this in order to maintain stability."
"The pressure is on the adults, and it's difficult for him to handle it."
After hearing Wang Qinian's words that were both coaxing and threatening, Zhou Zhiruo became confused and at a loss.
After all, he is not very worldly-wise, how could he withstand threats like Lao Wang's?
"Sir Wang, you are well versed in the ways of the court. I hope you can show Zhiruo and Emei a clear path forward."
As she spoke, Zhou Zhiruo clasped her fists and bowed.
Seeing the frightened Wang Qinian, he helped him up from a distance and said, "You can't do that. Absolutely not."
"Ms. Zhou, before Emei and you can break this situation, we need to understand a few things first..."
"who are you?"
"What does it have to do with my master?"
"Let's take a step back and say that my master is 'favored by the Heavenly Master and blessed by the Emperor'..."
"But why would he risk his life to take all this on your behalf?"
"You know, killing you is less troublesome and more beneficial to the interests of the Jinyiwei than keeping you alive."
Faced with Wang Qinian's soul-searching, Zhou Zhiruo stood there in a daze.
Yes, before, Emei was targeting Xu Shan everywhere.
What reason does he have to save Emei?
Seeing the other party's tangled expression, Wang Qinian, who was ready to strike while the iron was hot, immediately added: "With my master's current power in the capital, women who want to get close to him are like carp crossing the river in an endless stream."
"There are almost no ones that my master can admire, care about, or even admire! But Miss Zhou is definitely the first one to bear the brunt of it."
"Ah? This, this is Zhiruo's honor." Zhou Zhiruo answered with a flustered look and blushing cheeks.
"Miss Zhou, there's no need to belittle yourself. I've been with him for so long, and I've never seen him think about any woman as much as he does about you."
"So, if we want to establish a deeper relationship between Emei and Jinyiwei..."
"Ms. Zhou, you are the link!"
"However tightly you tie it, my master will take the responsibility for Emei."
By the time Wang Qinian finished speaking, Zhou Zhiruo had understood everything clearly.
I feel conflicted, anxious, and even a little uneasy.
But ask yourself, is there any other way? Or, in other words, do you really resist?
Glancing at Zhou Zhiruo's mixed expression, Wang Qinian muttered to himself, "My lord, this is all I can do."
