With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 1046 The Heir Takes the Empire as Dowry 58
She often travels outside and can see that the people of Zhao are living better and better lives. Perhaps influenced by Ao, Zhao is increasingly developing into the country she envisions.

At the beginning, she was excited and thrilled about becoming empress, eager to make a name for herself and full of fighting spirit.

But when she actually got involved in politics, she realized how much trouble it involved; it wasn't something that could be solved by just talking. What she did was less than one ten-thousandth of what her aunt, in her position, had seen, yet it already made her feel overwhelmed. Fortunately, she had a few helpers by her side.

Putting aside the question of whether she would succeed in overthrowing her aunt, once she took that position, could she really do it better than her aunt?
"Let me be clear right now, it's impossible. You'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible."

She didn't want to talk to them anymore and turned to leave.

She never even considered overthrowing her aunt.

What are they thinking?
Why would they think that way?
Xie Nuo felt a tightness in her chest and a sense of unease. She had a feeling that her peaceful and happy days might be coming to an end.

Soon after, she received new news concerning Zhuang Xu and Yun Qinglan, which shocked her beyond measure. No wonder Zhuang Xu was so ruthless when he said those words.

She wasn't stupid; she had already vaguely sensed that Zhuang Xu might not like her that much.

In fact, in the past two years, she has felt that the people around her have changed a lot. At first, she just thought that they had been married for too long and were no longer so fresh.

Looking back now, that's not true.

They probably couldn't hold back any longer.

So, how many of the people around her are truly sincere?

Even though they did many things for her over the years, she hasn't stopped growing. She's seen a lot and isn't a naive girl who doesn't understand anything.

It seems like something is about to be exposed.

Yun Qinglan's identity is not a big deal; he's a prince of Wu, which isn't particularly sensitive. Currently, Wu and Zhao are still on friendly terms. Given Zhao's power, Wu can only curry favor and dares not harbor any ill intentions.

Zhuang Xu is the son of a prince from the previous dynasty and harbors the ambition to restore his country. Once his true identity is exposed, will he still have a chance to survive?
He's been hiding this for so long, it's probably going to be very difficult to get him to give up.

Moreover, this identity is so sensitive that if it gets exposed, it will be difficult for her to protect him.

"Seventeen, what do you think I should do?" she asked, somewhat bewildered.

It was because she noticed the changes in the people around her that she arranged for Seventeen to investigate, and unexpectedly, she found out so much.

“The princess certainly won’t push Zhuang Xu to his doom, but his identity is indeed very dangerous. We can find out about these things now. If someone with ulterior motives tries to get in, the consequences will be unimaginable, especially given the princess’s current status. There are plenty of people who want to see you get into trouble,” Seventeen said.

“Then let him go. He still seems to want to restore his kingdom, otherwise he wouldn’t be so eager for me to overthrow my aunt,” Xie Nuo said, standing up with a determined look on her face. “I’ll go find him.”

Before anything happened, she sent the person away.

As long as he never appears or is ever found, she doesn't need to worry too much even if someone gets a clue in the future.

She can handle things on her own. Even if many people try to bring her down, nothing serious will happen to her. At most, she will just lose her chance at that position.

It's a bit of a pity, but these things aren't necessary for her.

As long as the people she cares about are doing well, nothing else matters.

Seventeen watched Xie Nuo's retreating figure, but ultimately didn't say what he wanted to say. What he wanted to say was that, given Zhuang Xu's personality, he probably wouldn't listen to her arrangements.

Zhuang Xu never expected that Xie Nuo would expose his identity, and he almost lost his composure.

“I know you might not like me that much,” Xie Nuo said. “Maybe from the very beginning, our meeting was something you did on purpose.”

Facing Zhuang Xu's surprised gaze, Xie Nuo smiled and stroked the teacup on the table: "After all these years, I can't have remained unchanged, can I? You've all taught me a lot." Ten years ago, she probably wouldn't have thought of these things; she was so naive.

But now she's over thirty, has seen a lot, and has learned many things just by looking at them.

At least she got into a pretty good university, so she's not that stupid; she can learn a lot of things after studying them.

"But you've been by my side for many years, and I don't want to see you go down a path of no return. You want to restore the kingdom, right? Restoring the kingdom will inevitably overthrow the Zhao Kingdom, and I definitely disagree with that. For the sake of our past relationship, you should leave. Take the child with you, find a place to live a peaceful and wealthy life under an assumed name. I'll prepare everything for you, enough for a comfortable and prosperous life. Just don't think about restoring the kingdom anymore, okay?"

"The Zhao Kingdom is not one you can overthrow."

“With me here, I won’t let you do that.” Xie Nuo said this very seriously. “A Xu, I don’t want to see the world fall into chaos again.”

Just like when I first came into this world, I could feel my parents' worries every day.

They too have been hunted down, and even though they were protected in their parents' arms and never actually faced those dangers, they could still feel how terrifying it was.

Even from a great distance, she could smell the strong stench of blood, a smell that made her want to vomit.

If it weren't for her aunt establishing the Zhao Kingdom, she wouldn't know when the chaos would end.

If it weren't for my aunt who ended the chaos, what would have become of them? Even if they had survived by chance, would they have been able to live as peacefully and happily as ordinary people do now?

She wouldn't let anyone ruin everything she had worked so hard for.

No one can.

She knew that in the eyes of Zhuang Xu, a man dedicated to restoring his country, such things were of no concern in order to achieve his goals.

That's why she would never let Zhuang Xu do it.

He has no regard for the people of the world. Even if he succeeds in restoring the country, will he still be able to accept the people of the world? No, he will not. He will only cause the world to regress and make countless people live in misery again.

"Ah Xu, this is your last chance."

"If you don't agree, I'll have to resort to other methods," Xie Nuo said with some pain. She didn't want Zhuang Xu to rebel, because he was bound to fail. And if he failed, he would die.

"Think it over carefully. Come back to me when you've figured it out. Don't go out anytime soon."

After saying this, Xie Nuo left, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Okay, let me think about it," Zhuang Xu's voice rang out.

Xie Nuo glanced back and saw Zhuang Xu smiling. After all these years, he was still as handsome as ever.

She felt a little more at ease.

A day later, Xie Nuo secretly sent Zhuang Xu and their child away, under the pretext of returning to his hometown to visit relatives.

“Princess Ningnuo is still so naive.” Yuan Qi reported the news to Azhen.

Azhen shook her head: "Besides choosing to believe Zhuang Xu and giving up on restoring the country, what else can she do?"

In the client's previous life, although many tragedies were not caused by Xie Nuo's own actions, nor were they the results she wished to see, everything was indeed because of her, and the situation was incomprehensible.

She may survive, but those scheming men around her will certainly not have an easy time.
