C262 (1/2)

I was surprised to hear that. Why would the First Lady do that? It was obvious that I was still his prisoner. He could have dealt with me however he wanted, but why would he be willing to help someone who betrayed him under such circumstances?

I know there's no such thing as a free lunch. Since you promised me that, you must do something for me, right?

I am quite afraid of a woman who is so shrewd.

The First Lady nodded. You can understand that, but believe me, I'm not trying to take advantage of you, it's just that I'm not going to sit back and wait for someone to threaten my regime. It's human instinct, not right or wrong or good or evil, and I want you to understand.

You don't have to report to me about what you're doing. I don't want to know so much. Just tell me what you need to do.

I was no longer in a position to make the right decision. We had started out in a downtown alliance in Asan, and we had each taken what we needed. I didn't want to betray him in such a situation out of loyalty.

But if, at the First Lady's request and seduction, I had betrayed Sang, I could have done so to maximize the benefits, but what about the account I had been sticking to? At that time, did I also become a two-sided fence-sitter?

Don't think too much into it. Your goal is nothing more than to obtain the lotus, so your methods are not worth worrying about, are they?

I just want to know one question right now? This lotus flower of yours is human. If I take one of his petals, will it affect him?

The First Lady smiled. You really are a kind girl, yet you're still concerned about the life and death of a flower even at this time. Under normal circumstances, it only has seven petals, which is why it's called the seven-step lotus flower. But if he suffers any damage, such as losing a leaf or two or losing a petal, he would sink into a long hibernation period. Then he would heal himself, and when he recovered, he would wake up again.

This was the spirit of the world's creatures, the seven-step lotus flower was truly a treasure of the world.

I was silent for a long time before finally making up my mind. Say it, just what do you need me to do …

I don't know what Lee was feeling when she was a two-sided spy. But at this moment, I felt as if my heart was blocked by a big rock. I couldn't get up or down, so I felt very depressed.

Perhaps when a person was condemned by his conscience, they would ask themselves whether they were right or wrong. However, once they did this many times, they would become accustomed to it, and would not even be able to feel that something was amiss.

Li Li could already tell that something was wrong with me, but I guess even if he thought hard enough, she wouldn't have thought that there was a common understanding between me and the First Lady.

How'd it go? Did you get anything? he asked anxiously. It was, after all, his last chance.

I nodded. There was no difficulty. As he spoke, he took out a withered flower from under his skirt.

I felt that it would be a bit conspicuous if we were to take the flower pots along with us, so I only stole the floral branch.

Li Li's expression was extremely excited. After all, he had endured here for so many years, and was finally about to achieve her goal.

Well done, boss did not misjudge you! In this way, they would lose the blessing of God and would be unable to withstand a single blow. In the afternoon, the sky above Tianhua Palace changed. Don't come out, lest you cause unnecessary trouble. In the afternoon, if you want to help, we will naturally welcome you. If you don't, then just wait for the fruit of your victory!

He ran away, excited, I guess, to give away the news.

At first, if I told him directly that the whole plan had failed due to the failure of the plan, I believed that nothing would change. But like this, I betrayed my comrades with my own hands and tricked him as well.

Sitting on my bed in my room, I kept thinking over and over again about where I had missed the whole thing, but I couldn't think of anything.

Wife, are you there?

Zhang Ziyuan quietly pushed open the door. It seemed like I had my wish immediately and left the room with the things in my hand.

Um, I have something to tell you, don't be nervous!

Zhang Ziyuan frowned, what's wrong? Are you regretting it again?

I shook my head. Right now, it's no longer a matter of whether we regret or not. We no longer have any choice left. The entire plan has been exposed …

What? Should we run? This way, the few of us will be in great danger! Zhang Ziyuan was shocked.

Listen to me first. Things are not as simple as being exposed …
