Concubine to conquer the world

Chapter 441 Consequences After Exposure

Zhou Zishu burst into tears when he heard this, and was even more saddened.

What she wanted to say was not this matter.

Seeing her father's loving face, her guilty conscience made her collapse unexpectedly.

"Daddy, Zishu got into trouble."

"Thinking about it, it's hopeless to be the concubine of the crown prince in the East Palace. But Zishu Zishu really doesn't want to hurt the Zhou family. Zishu doesn't know that things will turn out like this."

Zhou Zhengtong frowned, feeling very dazed.

He stared at Zhou Zishu's eyes that were red and swollen from crying, and said with a frown, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why can't you become the prince's side concubine? What's wrong with Zhou's family? Tell me clearly."

Zhou Zhengtong's face turned serious.

Zhou Zishu's brows were tightly furrowed, she bit her lip several times before speaking.

Her lips trembled violently, and finally her whole body trembled slightly.

She didn't know how to confess, or in other words, she didn't know what the consequences would be after confessing?
Under Zhou Zhengtong's repeated questioning, she finally spoke.

"Mu Wang was assassinated this time, Zi Shu instigated others to do it"

After saying a word, Zhou Zhengtong's face turned livid.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, and his anger burned all of a sudden.

He looked at Zhou Zishu with piercing eyes.

"You acted without authorization, and you never thought about the consequences after the incident was exposed?!"

Zhou Zhengtong was furious.

Although he also defected to Nan Ye to target Nan Xun, but he was cautious in everything, only making suggestions, and never personally stained with blood.

He knows how to play it safe.

What he didn't expect was that Zhou Zishu would make a big mess of him in his lifetime of wisdom.

Zhou Zishu knelt there and lowered his head to sob.

Zhou Zhengtong rested his forehead and paced back and forth in the study.

He suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Didn't you love Nan Xun wholeheartedly and go to Bei Lin without hesitation for him? Why did you go to assassinate him?!"

Zhou Zishu wiped away his tears and said, "Xia Jianzhao was the one Zishu wanted to kill. Mu Wang was accidentally injured in order to protect her."

After saying a word, her sobbing became softer.

The secret that had been kept in her heart for several days tormented her so much that she couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and was haunted by nightmares every day.

But within a few days, she was emaciated beyond recognition.

People in the mansion were discussing that she was puzzled because her marriage to the prince was shelved.

But only she knew how tormenting the fear after being stained with other people's blood was.

Now that she said it, although she was also afraid in her heart, she was much more relaxed.

However, Zhou Zhengtong was so angry that he couldn't speak.

He staggered a few steps back to the seat behind him and sat down heavily.

Originally, he thought that Zhou Zishu had become well-behaved, she was willing to marry the prince, and even begged him to ask the emperor to order the marriage as scheduled.

For a time, he felt very relieved that she finally had eyes for seeing people.

What he didn't expect was that she had never given up on Nan Xun.
She said she was going to assassinate Xia Jianzhao?
It is enough to show that her killing intent was born of jealousy.

Regardless of whether Xia Jianzhao was successfully killed by her or not, he, Zhou Zhengtong, swore that he would never let her commit herself to the shogun's palace as Nanxun's princess!
Zhou Zishu saw that Zhou Zhengtong's face was flushed red with anger, so she quickly got up and poured a glass of water and handed it over.

"Daddy, Zishu didn't know that things would turn out like this. Zishu thought...that Xia Jianzhao would definitely die. She really deserved to die too!"

"The last time I went to Beilin, she almost killed Zishu by using laxatives."

"Zi Shu was just an eye for an eye with an eye for an eye! It's just that the assassination failed."
