Chapter 177 I Want to Become a Real Couple with You (Part )
Su Liuyue's eyes widened, and she looked at the man in front of her in astonishment, and subconsciously said, "Are you crazy?"
But soon, she thought of the reason why he proposed this, and her hands unconsciously pulled her skirt tighter, "The King of Wei... already knows my identity? You proposed this because of the King of Wei?"
"Yes."
Zhou Yunke was relieved to see that she reacted so quickly. He said in a deep voice, "Because of what happened yesterday, your identity was exposed. My people went to Zuixianlou where you were yesterday to check the situation. The guy there said that someone came with your portrait yesterday to inquire about the news, and claimed to be a government official. The guy thought you were in trouble and told that person your identity in detail."
Although he immediately sent people to Zuixianlou, Zuixianlou was full of guests yesterday, and there were too many people who had seen Su Liuyue, so it was impossible to cover everyone's mouths.
Perhaps he had anticipated the worst possible situation yesterday. Su Liuyue's heart was only in turmoil for a moment before strangely calming down.
Zhou Yunke carefully studied her expression and said, "The King of Wei...has ambitions for the position of Crown Prince. He doesn't want to see a woman around me. Now that he knows of your existence, he will definitely find ways to destroy you.
This morning, the people I sent to monitor the King of Wei sent a message saying that the King of Wei had entered the palace to meet the Emperor. "
He went to the palace to meet the emperor as soon as he found out her identity?
This guy must be up to no good!
Su Liuyue's eyes were cold and she said word by word: "The best way to destroy a woman is to lock her in the backyard."
"Yes."
Zhou Yunke sighed secretly, the King of Wei’s purpose might be far more than that.
She still didn't understand her own value. During this period, because she helped Jingzhao Prefecture solve strange cases one after another, her reputation also rose.
If he could take such a girl into his backyard, he could not only sever the connection between him and her, but after taming her, he might even be able to take advantage of her talents for his own benefit.
When the war was still going on, the King of Wei recruited wise men and had a group of counselors under him. Such a sinister method could only be thought up by his counselors.
Su Liuyue finally sorted out everything. She didn't have time to think about Zhou Yunke's ridiculous proposal. She said in a hurry: "If the King of Wei has already entered the palace, then..."
"Don't worry, I guessed what that guy would do last night, so I asked my aunt to enter the palace and rest there."
Zhou Yunke's eyes were filled with comfort, "Aunt knows about what happened between you and me, and with Aunt here, she will help me resist for a while.
But my aunt can't hold on for too long, and I must enter the palace as soon as possible."
However, even though he was forced by the situation, he still wanted to get her consent first.
He had never thought that their relationship would progress so quickly, nor did he expect it to progress that quickly.
Su Liuyue immediately understood what Zhou Yunke had not said. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at him with trembling pupils.
Reason told her that Zhou Yunke's proposal was the best way, and perhaps the only way to save everyone around her.
However, if she nodded, her originally planned life would be completely overturned and go in another direction she had never thought of.
the most important is……
Su Liuyue licked her lips unconsciously and said, "Your Highness, are you going to make such a big sacrifice for me?"
As for what happened yesterday, it was because she was not careful enough that she fell into the trap of King Wei.
Although he was the one who dragged her into these intrigues in the beginning, one thing is one thing, and she admits that she had fallen into the trap herself.
In order to protect herself and the people around her, she had to give up all her original plans and embark on this path of no return.
But there was absolutely no need for Zhou Yunke to do this for her.
She had noticed it at the Lotus Appreciation Banquet. Although he didn't like others to get close to him because of his mysophobia, he was the crown prince after all, and he wanted to find a suitable crown princess seriously. Didn't this incident also ruin his original plan?
Zhou Yunke was slightly stunned. Just as he was about to say something, the woman in front of him pursed her lips and said with a hint of tenacity on her face: "Your Highness, I agree to your proposal. Although this is just a temporary measure, I... am also occupying your position as the Crown Princess. Don't worry, I will only occupy your position. If you find a woman you truly love in the future, I will not stop you, and I will do my best to cooperate with you..."
Su Liuyue also had her own selfish motives. She knew clearly that even if Zhou Yunke wanted to help her, there was no need to give her the position of Crown Princess.
In fact, she was even more surprised that he asked her to be his Crown Princess right away.
But since she has decided to take this path, the higher the status, the better it will be for her. No matter what the reason is for Zhou Yunke to give her this position, she must hold on to it.
Zhou Yunke frowned slightly, feeling that the words of the woman in front of him were more harsh than ever before. He unconsciously took a step forward and grabbed her wrist.
Su Liuyue was startled and forgot the rest of what she was going to say. She just raised her head and looked at the man in front of her in astonishment.
Zhou Yunke's thin lips were stretched into a straight line, and his eyes were as deep as the sea. He stared at her closely for a long time before he slowly and clearly said, "You seem to have misunderstood something. I don't want to have a fake marriage with you."
"From the moment I made the decision, I meant it."
"The position of Crown Princess is not something to be trifled with. I sincerely want to marry you, and I sincerely think you are qualified for this position. I came here specifically to ask for your consent, and I also hope that you can take this matter seriously."
Su Liuyue even forgot to blink and almost thought that the words she heard were all hallucinations.
After Zhou Yunke finished speaking, he saw her somewhat out of control expression, paused, and said in a lighter voice: "Of course, I know this matter is too sudden, and you are not mentally prepared.
I won't force you, and I'm willing to slowly get along with you. I will do my best to support everything you want to do.
I won't force you to do anything unless you want to."
Su Liuyue rarely felt that her brain was a little slow, and she had some difficulty digesting these earth-shattering words.
What he meant was that he wanted to be a real couple with her and was willing to respect and love her like a real wife.
But he won't force her to accept it immediately, and is willing to give her time to slowly adapt to the changes in their relationship?
Zhou Yunke knew that she understood, his dark eyes softened slightly, and he whispered: "Liu Yue, I hope you can take what I just said into consideration and think carefully about my proposal."
He is serious about this.
So, I hope she can take it seriously.
Su Liuyue felt that her mind was in a mess, and as it became more and more confused, she couldn't help but get a little angry.
Didn't this guy say that time was running out? How could she take her time to think about it?
Moreover, what he had just said clearly put the initiative of this marriage in her hands. No matter how she thought about it, there was no reason for her to refuse!
She could only order herself not to think about these messy things for the time being, bit her lip slightly, and said: "I have just told Your Highness my decision, and now that I have made the decision, I will not change it easily.
And I will also seriously consider what Your Highness said just now."
This statement is somewhat ambiguous.
Zhou Yunke looked at her steadily for a while, and finally did not force her anymore. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will go to the palace to see the emperor now."
After saying that, he slowly let go of her hand, took a step back, took one last look at her, then turned around, opened the door and walked out.
Su Liuyue was still a little dazed. She raised her hand and touched the place where he had just held her hand, and pouted with mixed feelings.
This guy said nice things, but he was just like her, totally unprepared mentally!
When he held her hand just now, he did so through her sleeve.
How can a couple make even serious physical contact so unnatural?
Well, the main plot of this article is still the heroine. Even the hero didn't have many scenes before the heroine chose him. I feel that I haven't paid as much attention to him as to the Xue family. In fact, I deliberately weakened the political plot in the first half of this article. For example, the King of Wei only paid more attention to Liu Yue, but it doesn't mean that he didn't do anything else except targeting Liu Yue. The same goes for the hero. His career line will slowly unfold later, so don't worry~
