Chapter 588 Is this how you see me?
The candlelight flickered, illuminating a silent, mysterious and complex face.
He remained silent and had no intention of answering the question.
Shu He looked at him, feeling more and more confused.
It's definitely not just to lower Shen Wen's vigilance against him, there must be other reasons.
She continued to speak, wanting to explore the unknown secret.
"Shen Lanzhi's burns have healed, and the toxins in her body have been cleared. From the day she recovered, your identities with Shen Lanzhi will never be reversed."
"I really don't understand. Are you going to hand over the throne of King Liu to Shen Lanzhi?"
Now that Crown Prince Shen Wen was dead, the Northern Di court was completely controlled by "Shen Chuan". Wasn't he afraid that "Shen Chuan" would take advantage of the situation, take off his mask, and establish his identity as the King of Liu, and then sit on the supreme position?
Hearing this, his calm eyes finally changed, but not with fear, but with disdain.
She couldn't understand it even more.
Did he trust Shen Lanzhi so much? Without any suspicion or grudge?
Just as I was wondering, I heard him speak calmly, "He saved my life. If it weren't for him, I would be the one who has suffered for more than ten years."
"So, even if I give up the throne of King Liu to him, what does it matter? It won't make any difference anyway."
There was a hint of real emotion in his voice, but Shu He didn't grasp what that emotion was, and his attention was only on one sentence.
"No difference"?
How could there be no difference?
Shen Chuan is the prince of the Northern Di Emperor, the Northern Di Grand Marshal, and the noble Prince of Liu! And what about Shen Lanzhi?
Shen Lanzhi was the son of Prince Yong of Beidi, and a bastard! If the legitimate son hadn't died young, he would have been fostered under the name of Prince Yong's wife, and he wouldn't even be considered a prince!
These two have completely different identities, how could there be no difference?
Or is it that he is tired of the life of Prince Liu and prefers the life of "Shen Lanzhi"?
Some fragments flashed in Shu He's mind, scattered and yet they could never be connected together.
Her eyes were blank and her brows were furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
Seeing this, a trace of panic suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he quickly said, "Since you know my true identity, can you reconsider our relationship?"
"Ok?"
Shu He's thoughts were interrupted by his words, and he asked confusedly, "What's the relationship?"
He stood up and walked towards her, with a hint of "expectation" in his deep eyes.
"I also have the position of princess. If you want it, I can give it to you."
So, can we reconsider the relationship between them?
Shu He's expression turned cold, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again, "So, you think I chose Baili Moqing because he can give me the position of princess?"
He lowered his eyes, a hint of hurt flashing in them.
He knew it wasn't, but he still wanted to try.
"My status is no lower than Baili Moqing's. You've clearly suffered so much harm and injustice at his hands, so why are you still clinging to him? What's so good about him?!"
Shu He looked at him, his heart uncontrollably chilled.
This person, whom she once thought was a friend, has now become an extremely unfamiliar person to her.
She replied coldly, "No matter how bad he is, at least he won't push me to the brink of death for his own selfish desires!"
At this point, a strong sense of disappointment surged in her heart. She couldn't help but stare into his eyes and ask, "Shen Chuan, what exactly do you want to do?"
"You want me to go with you to Beidi, so that I can strengthen your army and horses so that you can invade Tianqi again?"
"Do you really think I will be at your mercy?"
"Or do you think that a woman like me, unable to escape your manipulation, is only fit to be a puppet in your hands?"
"Shen Lanzhi! No! Shen Chuan!!"
"Do you really think that I, Shu He, am someone who can be teased?!"
Watching her emotions fluctuate, he actually felt a little secretly happy.
It turns out that she can also be angry for him! Does this mean that he still has some weight in her heart?
"I never meant to tease you. I just wanted you to leave Tianqi." He reached out to grab her sleeve, a look of apology on his face. "I admit that my methods were a little shady, but I can assure you that I am fully prepared!"
"As long as you enter the Dali Temple prison again, I will definitely take you and Yi'er away from this place!"
"If Baili Moqing can do it, I can do it too!"
Seeing him speak so confidently and confidently, she couldn't help laughing, "So, this is why you exposed my identity to the Zheng family, right?"
His expression was dazed and his eyes were slightly panicked.
She is so smart and sharp...
"Shen Chuan, have you asked me? Why do you think I would be willing to go with you?"
"Or do you think that if I reach a desperate situation, I will willingly leave with you?"
"Marshal Shen, aren't you a little too naive?"
Looking at the disappointment and sarcasm in her eyes, his heart ached.
"Am I naive? Isn't this all for you?"
At this moment, my brain seemed to be burning with a mixture of shame and anger.
He suddenly pressed down on her shoulders and pushed her against the doorpost. "For the past six months, you clearly have no attachment to him. For the past six months, we've clearly gotten along well. You clearly know my feelings. Why do you pretend not to see them?"
"For you, I put aside all matters concerning Beidi and accompanied you to gain a foothold in Tianqi Kyoto. I will take revenge step by step and clean up all those who have offended and bullied you. Can't you see it?"
"Why did your heart become so confused just because Baili Moqing appeared before you again?"
"Is he that important to you? So important that even if I spend half a year with him, I still can't shake his position in your heart?"
She had no time to pay attention to the pain in her shoulder. Anger was boiling inside her. "Have you had enough of this?"
She looked at him coldly, her eyes becoming impatient. "I've made it very clear from the beginning. There's no way between you and me!"
"Also, don't be so affectionate here, saying that everything you do is for me. You sound like a romantic!"
"But is that really the case? Do you dare to say that you approached me from the very beginning without any purpose? Do you dare to say that you cooperated with me without any selfish motives?"
"Why did you have to come to Kyoto? Was it for me? Wasn't it for Old Eight, wasn't it for your grand ambitions?!"
"Can you please stop treating me like a fool?"
She reached out to push him away, but his hands were like iron clamps, tightly gripping her shoulders, and the bones there seemed to be breaking.
His eyes were red, and complex emotions were surging in them.
He had never experienced such pain before. It was as if someone was squeezing his heart tightly and cutting his flesh with a knife again and again.
"Is that how you see me?"
