Bai Zhi, like Zhuo Yao, found it difficult to accept this fact.

But no matter how shocked she was, she still had unfinished business to deal with, so she had no choice but to get busy.

Zhou Li sorted out all the documents that needed to be resolved urgently for her, and explained them to her one by one, but seeing that she was distracted, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

Bai Zhi did not treat him as an outsider and showed Zhou Li the two volumes of edicts. After reading Zhou Li, I fell into deep thought.

When Bai Zhi was indecisive, she would often ask Zhou Li for his opinion. She knew that he was extremely reliable and could get an effective reply every time.

But today Zhou Li never gave an answer. Bai Zhi asked anxiously, "Zhou Li, please say something!"

Zhou Li returned the edict to her, "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"Is there still a difference between truth and falsehood? When did I need to listen to lies!" Bai Zhi was a little annoyed.

Zhou Li sighed, "About this matter, all the variables I can think of are good things."

"The only bad thing is that you and General Black Tiger may not be destined for each other, and you have to let go."

Bai Zhi was unhappy, "Why! I don't even remember him, why should I separate from Zhuo Yao!"

"If I were standing in the position of your friend and feeling the same as you, then I might feel a little heartbroken for you, but that's just the sadness."

"But you should know what a great thing it is for Prince Ning to call on all warlords and wealthy men in the world to punish thieves!"

"This means that the war will subside and the world will be united!"

Bai Zhi held her chin up and asked doubtfully, "Why does your tone sound like you believe this person unconditionally? Have you met him before? What did he say to you? Has he helped you?"

Zhou Li was taken aback by these words, "It's a pity that I have never seen it before, but my hometown is in the grassland. I make a living as a nomad. I am a small tribe of 300 people. In those years, the Mei family dominated the north and wanted to take over our tribe every year. There were thousands of sheep and hundreds of cattle. It was King Ning who stopped the tyranny of the Mei family. Then it was King Ning who moved our tribe to a place with abundant pasture and asked us and another tribe to graze here safely. "

"In just over ten years, these two small tribes have developed a town. You should have heard of it. It is called Bailun City. It is an important trading town in the north that spans all directions. With Bailun City as the center, nomads from all directions will Do business here.”

"Although I have never seen him, the leader of our tribe has. It is said that he was only sixteen years old at the time and looked like a monk."

"At the age of sixteen, he was able to use his extraordinary abilities to save five dying tribes. This is why I believe in him unconditionally."

"He should have done more than one such thing, that's why he was able to write this apology today. He should have the ability to end this mess in one fell swoop."

Bai Zhi listened carefully, but she was still worried in her heart, "But what should Zhuo Yao and I do? He and I are already married, and we also have A Gu!"

"This is a matter between the three of you. I don't know what Prince Ning's attitude is towards you, so I can't give you any advice! But Zhou Li has selfish motives..."

Bai Zhi also knew that everything he said was true. In the final analysis, it was a matter of emotion and a private matter.

Putting aside personal matters, there are countless official matters that will be affected by this alliance.

She suppressed the fear in her heart and asked Zhou Li, "What are your selfish motives?"

"Of course I hope you can choose Prince Ning. If Dan Ning has Prince Ning as his backer, will the Mei family still dare to touch you? Won't the money also come? All the obstacles and difficulties so far will no longer exist."

Bai Zhi let out a deep breath, a little unhappy, "So you want me to hug Prince Ning's thigh quickly?"

"Well, if you can hug me."

"Huh! What if I can't hold you?" Bai Zhi became angrier as she listened. When she saw a better man, she kicked Zhuo Yao. Then what kind of thing has she become!

"If you can't hold him, you should still be docile. At least you and him have a son. If you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, the benefits will be enough for you."

"Hmph! Why didn't I find you so cruel and black-hearted before?" Bai Zhi muttered.

Zhou Li chuckled after hearing this, "You have always known that I have always been evil-hearted. It's just that it wasn't your interests that were touched before. This time, you happen to be the bargaining chip."

"Yes, I am a bargaining chip, not a human being, right?" Bai Zhi muttered to herself.

She is human and does not have a heart of steel. She only knows that yesterday she and Zhuo Yaoer were having sex.

All the things she has done so far are to make herself feel comfortable. Now if she abandons her "bad husband" in order to obtain some so-called benefits, a higher position, and greater power, then won't she? Have you become a person swallowed by power?

Then she will be the reincarnation of Chen Shimei! It will be infamy for eternity!

Maybe there is another way, or maybe Prince Ning doesn't care about her at all, he just wants to give his child a mother.

If that was the case, she was thankful to God.

She thought that Prince Ning was so good to them, maybe she could have a good talk with him, he would not break up her and Zhuo Yao, let them recognize each other as mother and son, and then they could resolve the war together, how happy would everyone be?

Thinking of this, the depression of the whole day dissipated at this moment.

She regrouped her emotions and decided to have a frank talk with Zhuo Yao.

She thought that as a couple, they always have to face some things together.

But she searched the entire county government office, but could not find Zhuo Yao. Even Zhuo Ling said she was ill and chose to avoid seeing him.

When she left Zhuo Ling's small courtyard, she saw Feng Tianxiang, who had just given her away, slowly sitting down against Zhuo Ling's door, and finally slumped down and took a weak drink.

Bai Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and then the wind blew up, blowing down the sycamore leaves all over the ground.

Although Bai Zhi felt that he had adjusted his mentality, the suffocating atmosphere still made his heart rise and fall, and then fell again and again.

Zhuo Yao came back at night, and the maid hurriedly came to report to Bai Zhi, "My uncle, he was drunk and went all the way to Miss Rong's yard."

Bai Zhi discussed with him that she would never disturb him when he stayed in Zhuo Rong's room. Although she said she could do it, it was definitely not the case today!

Holding the child in her arms, she rushed into Zhuorong's yard and knocked on the door hurriedly.

It was Zhuo Rong who opened the door. She asked, "Sister..."

"Where's Zhuo Yao?" Bai Zhi even interrupted her irritably.

"The prince drank wine...and fell asleep."

"Wake him up, I have something to say to him!"

"This..." Zhuo Rong was a little embarrassed.

Seeing her hesitation, Bai Zhi wanted to rush in and pull Zhuo Yao out, but was stopped by Zhuo Rong, "Sister, don't get excited, I'll call you."

Bai Zhi reluctantly agreed, and Zhuo Rong cautiously closed the door.

Zhuo Rong slowly walked to the bed and saw Zhuo Yao leaning on the bedside with a haggard expression, without saying a word. She asked in a low voice, "How about you go see sister? She is rarely so angry..."

Zhuo Yao shook his head. In just one night, a large amount of stubble had sprouted up, just like the dark dirt buried deep in his heart, which grew unstoppably overnight.

He really didn't know how to face her.

Bai Zhi waited very anxiously, pacing back and forth with her child in her arms. Finally, when Zhuo Rong opened the door, she only got one sentence, "The prince is sleeping soundly..."

Bai Zhi immediately became angry, "Shen Shen! He is just escaping!"

Bai Zhi hugged the child and rushed in, regardless of Zhuo Rong's obstruction.

She walked to the bed in a few steps and saw Zhuo Yao's haggard face. Her eyes suddenly turned red, "You shouldn't be thinking...how to return me to your brother Salan, right?"

These words hit Zhuo Yao's heart, making him unable to breathe.

It was indeed one of the several options he was struggling with, the one he was most afraid of and least willing to mention.
