[Quick Wear] The male lead is coming to the bowl

Chapter 68: Imperial Sister 37

    Seeing that Huo Zheng really didn't suspect her at all, Yu Tao finally felt relieved. After all, she had been with Huo Zheng on the battlefield, going through life and death together. They were close friends, so how could they suspect each other over such a small matter?

    Then she became a little uneasy. She wished she could stay with Huo Zheng wholeheartedly and devote herself to him, but she had to be constrained by the Fourth Prince and was forced to frame Huo Zheng in secret. The

    Fourth Prince had something on her, which was exactly what she dared not let Huo Zheng know. If Huo Zheng knew, he would definitely blame her. However, she felt guilty about joining the Fourth Prince's camp and becoming his spy. After all, Huo Zheng was the first man she had admired for a long time. Yu Tao

    struggled and suffered in her heart, but she dared not tell anyone and could only bear it silently.

    Under the coercion and instigation of the Fourth Prince, although she loved Huo Zheng in her heart, she had to betray him again and again.

    Seeing that Yu Tao was indeed trusted by Huo Zheng, and was repeatedly assassinated by Yu Tao, Huo Zheng did not suspect her at all. The Fourth Prince was very satisfied with Yu Tao as an undercover, so he gradually let down his guard against her.

    Although Yu Tao had no choice, for the sake of her life and property, she could only mediate between the two.

    Huo Zheng was suppressed by the Fourth Prince, because of his continuous mistakes, Emperor Cheng Zhao was already a little disappointed with him. Even though Huo Zheng was proud, he could not withstand the suppression of the Fourth Prince. In a hurry, he had to find a way to win back.

    It happened that when Huo Zheng was at the border, a familiar general asked him to go to Longmen Casino for a chat. The Great Chu Law strictly prohibited gambling, but there were still people who liked to commit crimes against the wind and earn these money hanging on the edge of the knife.

    In the past, Huo Zheng disdained to associate with these people, but this time was different. Because of the targeting of the Fourth Prince, many officials who supported him had the intention to leave, and Huo Zheng had to win the support of as many ministers as possible.

    After thinking it over, Huo Zheng decided to keep the appointment.

    "Huo Zheng... why don't you go... why do you have to fight for that position?"

    Yu Tao didn't expect Huo Zheng to be so persistent in fighting for the throne, even doing something that goes against his principles. The previous Huo Zheng was definitely not such a person who would do anything to achieve his goal!

    She felt a little sad for no reason. If she hadn't secretly assisted the Fourth Prince in suppressing Huo Zheng, perhaps Huo Zheng wouldn't have had such a hard time. She felt sorry for Huo Zheng, but she couldn't ignore her own life.

    If she wanted to save herself and Huo Zheng, the only way now was to ask for peace with the Fourth Prince.

    "Since you can't win the competition, why don't you shake hands and make peace with the Fourth Prince? If you fully support the Fourth Prince and don't become... the emperor, perhaps you will be happier..."

    Huo Zheng was holding the invitation from the general in his hand. When he heard Yu Tao's words, he raised his eyes and stared at Yu Tao with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Do you want me to bow to Jun Yuqi? Or are you afraid of losing your life following me?"

    "I... I'm not like that. I just think that after all the fighting, why don't you assist the Fourth Prince to ascend the throne? With your status and the merit of following the dragon, are you afraid that the Fourth Prince will not treat you well?" Yu Tao denied it eagerly, fearing that Huo Zheng would think she was a coward. She just didn't want Huo Zheng to end up with a torn corpse in the fight for the throne.

    Huo Zheng has never been the kind of person who chases after fame and fortune, but at this moment he seems extremely eager, "Things have developed to this point, do you think that the Fourth Prince will let you and me go after he ascends the throne? You are also well-educated, and you should have heard of examples of bows being put away after the birds are all dead, and merits surpassing the master. Jun Yuqi is not tolerant, and being loyal to him will only make the pearl tarnished. There is only one possibility for him and me to fight to the death!"

    "No! I can--" Yu Tao was about to say that she could help Huo Zheng to make connections, but she stopped halfway through her words. She almost let it slip that Huo Zheng didn't know that she was close to the Fourth Prince.

    "What can I do?"
