"You're the only one? How long have you been here?" Bai Ruozhu asked.
"Aren't you going to ask if I'm plotting something? Or if I intend to use her?" King Rui's voice carried a tone of mockery.
"If you were really plotting something, would you admit it even if I asked?" Bai Ruozhu said.
King Rui laughed, "Women being too smart is not a good thing. I can't imagine how Jiang Yichun gets by every day."
"That's none of your concern." Bai Ruozhu's face fell, daring to ridicule her.
"Don't worry, I won't harm her, I just want to protect her." He looked into the distance, lost in thought for a moment, and then said softly, "I won't fight for the throne, you have my word."
"Then what did you seize back then?" Bai Ruozhu sneered, "You talk as if you weren't interested in the throne. Who was it that caused the chaos then? Who was it that schemed to usurp the throne?"
