The man raised his head when he heard the sound and looked at Arlo.

As soon as he saw those eyes, the gentle and elegant temperament that had been lingering on him immediately disappeared. His eyes were too dark and bright, and the emotions contained in them were too hot. A crazy gambler.

Facing the Queen's inquiry, he did not answer immediately, but sorted out all the memorials before walking to the Queen step by step, kneeling at her feet.

A Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, kept his face calm, and looked at him lightly.

Recently, he has rarely kneeled down. After all, he has made fewer mistakes, and there is no need to plead guilty as usual.

She knows Qin Jue's bottom carefully, and now she wants to see what this man will say. If the answer is not good, it needs to be adjusted well.

However, Qin Jue did not disappoint her this time. He knelt there, and the first sentence he said was the truth: "Your Majesty, my slave name is Qin Jue."

Under his vaguely expectant gaze, she gave a slight reaction: "Jersey royal family?"

Qin Jue nodded and said: "The slave was the Crown Prince of Jersey, and was sent to the war slave camp after being plotted against him. The slave was extremely resentful and deeply ashamed, but after meeting His Majesty, the slave found that the slave came here not to suffer, but to suffer. It's a gift from God."

His tone was sincere, and his expression was full of seriousness, as if he spoke from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Jue knew that if he wanted to get something, he had to give something. If he wanted to make the empress look different, he could not deceive her. Otherwise, one day, with the temperament of the empress, his end will definitely not be very good.

He has always been a gambler, just like at this moment, revealing himself unreservedly in front of the empress.

What I want in exchange is the trust of the Empress.

Qin Jue revealed his own experiences and details, including his disgust for the Jersey royal family and what happened to him in his childhood. He really didn't hide anything, he cut himself open naked so that she could see all of him.

A Luo is a little surprised. In fact, she can't really understand people's hearts, so she can only perceive the change of Qin Jue's mentality.

She didn't expect that he would actually tell her true identity.

But after reacting, she had to sigh again, the twisted persistence in Qin Jue's bones. The heroine is just a rescue to him, he can always remember it in his heart and return a hundred times a thousand times.

What he wants, probably as long as he can't get it, he will keep chasing and not letting go.

After figuring out this joint, Arlo knew how to treat him later. During Qin Jue's recounting of his life experience, she always remained calm and had no excess emotions.

However, she had already known this for a long time, so she didn't need to pretend.

Qin Jue was not very happy when she found that the empress's expression was flat, and there was no accident or anger of being deceived. Even looking at the attitude of the Empress, he should not be held accountable for his concealment, and he does not need to worry about his own safety.

But this just proved that the Empress did not care about his past and identity.

Emotions arise only when you care.

And she didn't care about him, she should just be curious about asking him.

There was an uncontrollable loss in Qin Jue's heart, but this loss only appeared for a short time, and another stronger emotion rose up.

He won't give up, what's the point of being admitted so easily?

Just like the people from the Jersey Palace, who had so many opportunities from childhood to adulthood, they had never been able to kill him once, saying that they were useless and flattering them.

Qin Jue stopped talking and waited for the judgment of the Empress.

"Understood." The cold voice did not fluctuate, and it entered the ear without any waves. "Although there is deception, it is also excusable. I forgive you."

Qin Jue lowered her head, her dark eyes hidden in the shadows, and replied in a low voice, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Empress suddenly said again: "Since you are the Crown Prince, if Ruogu gives you a chance to return to Jersey, do you still want to go back?"

Qin Jue didn't know whether the empress was testing his loyalty or just a meaningless question. He always couldn't figure out her mind.

"Slave thinking." In the end, he chose to follow his own heart.

The crown prince of Jersey is not important to him, even the throne is not important, he doesn't care about those things at all. But there is no denying that he wants revenge.

He has never been a kind person, but a person who will be punished.

Empress: "Can't you give up the crown prince?"

Qin Jue shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty. I will always be your jade slave. The slave just wants to settle the old accounts."

There was a rare smile on the face of the empress who had always been expressionless, her eyes became solemn for the first time when she looked at him, and she said solemnly: "In this case, Gu will allow you to return to Jersey, you should know what Gu means? "

Qin Jue stared at her, but the Empress turned her face away and looked at the green leaves wet by the rain outside the window. The profile of her face looked extremely distant in the bright sky.

"Go, wait for the day you come back, I hope you can satisfy Gu."

Of course Qin Jue understood, with his mind, he could read her intentions instantly.

These days, the two often discuss national policies, just like the empress understands Qin Jue, Qin Jue is also gradually understanding the empress. He knew that she meant the world, knew her ambitions, knew that she was stronger and more outstanding than he imagined.

The more you understand, the more you can't look away.

Like moths attracted by flames, even if they are completely burned, they will rush in without hesitation.

Daxing is in the northwest and has already conquered half of the world. There were originally three countries in the northwest, but now they are all included in the Daxing territory.

The south has a vast territory and many countries. There are eight together with Jersey, and Jersey is the key between the north and the south.

If you want to rule the whole world, Jersey will be the first to be destroyed. Only by breaking the gate of Jersey, can it be the turn of the southern countries below.

Qin Jue has always been very strange. Why did the Empress withdrew halfway after hitting Jersey, and didn't take the Jersey in one go?

This was not in line with her usual style. Later, after entering the palace, he vaguely guessed that the empress was probably trying to figure it out slowly, and after hearing that Princess Kang Ning in the palace had relapsed, he chose to temporarily recuperate.

It wasn't that she didn't want to take Jersey, she just wanted to let it linger for a while.

The Empress ordered Qin Jue to return to Jersey, but no one knew about it, just like the relationship between them.

Since the brief intimate contact on the day of confessing his heart, the empress never gave Qin Jue any response that surpassed that between master and servant, which made him feel anxious and uneasy.

Qin Jue, who has always been confident in interpersonal relationships, never thought that he would have such a day.

The Empress did not issue a specific order, and Qin Jue planned to leave until the day was clear.

Spring rains are abundant, but most of them don't last long, and they often stop after a day or two. The time he gave himself was very tight, because he knew very well that staying here would not be of much use, and that he could return as soon as possible by going to Jersey as soon as possible.

He listened to the rustling sound of rain outside the window nibbling mulberry leaves. Qin Jue couldn't sleep on the last night of his stay in Daxing.

Qin Jue is a personal attendant. His residence has been transferred from outside the palace to the inside of the palace. At night, when the empress sleeps in the inner palace of the palace, he will accompany him in the outer palace.

Usually palace maids rest here. Qin Jue is a man, so he specially packed a separate room for him to live in.

Even if they were in the same palace, he didn't actually serve her personally. Dressing the Empress, combing her hair and washing her hair was all the maid's job.

When the Empress was sleeping, she didn't like someone close by her side, which would make her unable to sleep peacefully, so at night, the Empress was the only one left in the inner hall.

The last palace maid who exited the inner hall was stopped, and the empress whispered something to her. The palace maid couldn't help showing a surprised expression, and then took something and left.

Qin Jue heard someone knock on the door lightly, his heart skipped a beat, and a certain premonition made him quickly get out of bed and open the door.

Outside the door stood the Queen's personal maid. Facing Qin Jue's expectant gaze, the maid extended her hand to him and said, "This is what Your Majesty ordered me to hand over to you."

The thing was wrapped in silk handkerchief, and he couldn't see what it was. Qin Jue's heart beat faster, and she tried her best to purse her lips, restraining her expression, so that she looked as calm as ever.

However, the speed with which he took things revealed the urgency in his heart.

The palace maid left after delivering the things. Qin Jue held the silk handkerchief and went back to the house. At this time, he became less urgent again. He did not open it immediately, but guessed from the touch and weight in his hand.

If he guesses right, it will give him a sense of surprise.

The silk handkerchief is thin, and although it is opaque, you can still feel that there are probably accessories or the like inside, it is heavy, and a metallic coldness.

Qin Jue slowly opened the silk handkerchief, and in the next instant, his eyes widened.

He guessed right, the inside was indeed an ornament, a silver necklace. The necklace is made into a chain linking head and tail, with small silver links interlocking, and a jade plaque is hung at the bottom, engraved with a Luo character.

This is not the first time he has seen this. Duxue's neck is also hung with an enlarged version of the same type of chain, which is Duxue's neck card.

This sign is similar to a mark, representing the possessions of the Empress.

Her... possessions?

Qin Jue's heart was agitated, his whole body's blood was burning because of this conjecture, and his dark eyes became extremely bright.

In the dark and deep night, he was lying on the bed, hanging the silver chain around his neck, the jade plaque against his chest, and was quickly warmed by the body temperature.

The heart that was originally worried about gains and losses, and was uneasy, unknowingly became stable, and fell into a peaceful sleep with the wind and rain outside the house.

On the day Qin Jue left, the warm spring sun was just right.

He did not go to the Empress to bid farewell to the Empress. He simply packed his bags and left the palace alone.

On the other side of the imperial study, A Luo routinely flipped through the memorials, and then lost his mind until he was awakened by the person next to him: "Sister, if you are reluctant, don't let him go!"

Kang Ning was the only one who knew that Qin Jue had left. She often came here to pester A Luo, and knew a little about the relationship between her sister and Qin Jue.

Arlo shook his head: "It's not reluctance."

Qin Jue went back after suffering enough in the plot, and those hardships tempered him accordingly, so he could succeed in revenge.

Now he has not suffered much, although Arlo has been training him in the dark, and specially arranged for someone to teach him martial arts, and also gave him a memorial during this time to train him.

It's a pity that even if you are fully prepared, you are still a little worried.
