He knew very well that the other party was just asking him for help, not trying to win him over.

Similarly, she asked herself to stop Ji Yunrong from ascending the throne not to satisfy her own selfish desires.

But there really is some reason why we have to do this.

We have known each other for such a long time and have communicated several times.

Su Ye couldn’t say that he knew Xia Shiyun very well, but he knew that she was not that kind of person.

Without even needing Xia Shiyun to explain the reason, Su Ye nodded and agreed happily.

"Okay, since you said so, I'll promise you."

"You agree to this...?"

"Why, don't you want to?"

"That's not the case, it's just... why?"

Xia Shiyun looked a little stunned and a little surprised.

After all, the young man in front of him is Ji Yunrong's childhood sweetheart and also her legendary boyfriend!

Now I'm asking him not to help Qingmei but to help me, his enemy, no matter how I think about it, he won't agree, right?

Xia Shiyun was even prepared to be rejected and then continue to find a solution.

Su Ye's agreement was beyond her expectations.

And Su Ye's answer was also very simple.

"It's because I trust Your Highness."

Su Ye said softly with a gentle smile,

"I have been very grateful to Your Highness for his kindness during this period. Your Highness has also helped me a lot."

"Although I didn't become close friends with His Highness, I still believe in His Highness' character."

"Your Highness is not someone who is greedy for power. If there is no reason to do so, Your Highness would not ask me to do so."

So, is it just because of such simple trust?

This was a feeling that she had almost never experienced before, and Xia Shiyun was flattered.

In the government, she controlled the government as the queen mother, and everything she did was quite cruel and deadly.

Everyone thinks she is a femme fatale, so who would trust her?

In the outside world, people who did not know the truth also had complaints about the Queen Mother's control over government affairs.

Many people believed that she was a demon queen who brought disaster to the country and had little trust in her.

But at this moment, a young man who had only met him a few times suddenly trusted him.

But Xia Shiyun couldn't hold it anymore.

She just felt her heart beating very fast, as if she was having a heart-pounding feeling.

This also made her pretty face blush, which was rare, and she felt a little embarrassed.

But in fact, Su Ye’s idea is actually simpler.

Given his relationship with Princess Xie, how could Su Ye allow her to become emperor?

What a shitty princess! Just be a loyal dog!

If there are two candidates and you want to eliminate one, you naturally have to help the other.

This actually gave Xia Shiyun a special opportunity.

But at this moment, Xia Shiyun, who was moved by Su Ye, spoke in a softer tone.

"Since you trust me so much, I cannot let you down."

"Well...how about I tell you a little bit of the truth?"

"The so-called throne is actually just a trap."

Xia Shiyun told the hidden secrets of the royal family, but as soon as she said it, it was a huge bomb.

"trap?"

Su Ye raised his eyebrows, feeling a little confused.

That position that everyone longed for turned out to be a trap?

What does this mean?

But at the same time, Su Ye also roughly understood Xia Shiyun's thoughts.

Because the throne is a trap, she wanted to stop Ji Yunrong from becoming emperor.

For this, he was willing to let Ji Yunrong hate him?

"I cannot tell you too much about the details. You just need to know that there is something extraordinary in the Ancestral Dragon Mausoleum."

With a barely perceptible sigh, Xia Shiyun's voice became much lower.

"Your Majesty naturally knows the key, but even if Your Majesty entered the Ancestral Dragon Mausoleum, he had other reasons."

What she was talking about, of course, was the late emperor who had entered the Ancestral Dragon Mausoleum a few years ago and had not made any sound until now.

Looking at Su Ye with sincere eyes, Xia Shiyun said softly,

"It's not that I want to hide it from you, sir. It's just that... your strength is still not enough. It's not a good thing to know too much."

Although Su Ye has already established his foundation, he is still too weak now.

There are some things that can be a big trouble for people who are not strong enough even if they just know about them.

As for the following top-secret matters, Xia Shiyun hesitated and finally did not say anything.

In the end, she still couldn't let Su Ye know the whole truth.

But what he revealed now is enough.

She had already explained to Su Ye why she must not let Ji Yunrong become emperor.

However, at this moment, another doubt faced Su Ye.

"Since there is something wrong with the Ancestral Dragon Mausoleum and the throne is just a trap, why do you want to sit on it yourself?"

Su Ye frowned and asked curiously,

"Although Ji Yunrong is your daughter, we are not related by blood after all. You don't have to do this for her, right?"

If Xia Shiyun was Ji Yunrong's biological mother, Su Ye would not be surprised.

But Xia Shiyun was just a queen mother after all.

If he didn't know the secrets of the royal family, it would be understandable that he wanted to become emperor and usurp the throne.

But now that he already knew the truth, why would he risk himself for a princess with whom he had a bad relationship?

"It has nothing to do with Yunrong. I am just grateful to His Majesty for his kindness."

Xia Shiyun explained softly,

"As the Queen Mother, I have an obligation to prevent his daughter from making the same mistake again."

"Is that all?"

"Of course not... Your Majesty's favor is not just a position of Queen Mother."

Xia Shiyun shook her head slightly and sighed imperceptibly.

"Although I am the Queen Mother, in reality, this is only a superficial relationship between me and His Majesty."

Just a simple sentence, but it reveals a huge amount of information.

Superficial relationship... In other words, although Xia Shiyun is the queen mother, she still has an innocent identity.

What is this, a virgin widow?

This was almost top secret information coming from the royal family, which made Su Ye stunned for a moment.

Then, he heard Xia Shiyun explain,

"It's just that my family has received the emperor's favor, and I also need to rely on the royal family's foundation, so I entered the palace."

"If you think about it carefully, your Majesty and I are just in a cooperative relationship."

It was also because they were just collaborating, and after entering the palace for many years, the two had never touched each other...

This fact surprised Su Ye.

To be honest, this plot is somewhat familiar.

If the world I live in is a game, then it seems that I am involved in the main storyline?

The choice between a virgin widow and a noble princess?

Moreover, Su Ye did not expect that there was such a hidden dark side behind the Great Zhou royal family.

It's really a bit... too complicated.

Among them, the disputes involving various favors and emotions are even more complicated and difficult to sort out.

The other side.

After telling Su Ye everything, Xia Shiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

The beautiful woman who was once graceful and elegant now had a slightly bent back.

With her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, Xia Shiyun looked so gentle and tired that it made people feel particularly pity for her.

She tilted her head slightly and leaned lightly on the shoulder of Su Ye who was already sitting next to her.

Feeling the warmth and security from the young man beside her, the empress dowager's expression relaxed and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

The tenderness that blossoms in her laziness makes the elder sister bright and charming, making people's heart beat fast.

In this silence, the two of them were in an overly intimate posture, and were getting closer and closer.

The atmosphere became a little ambiguous.

But at this moment, the sudden noisy sound woke up Xia Shiyun who had just relaxed.

Su Ye and Xia Shiyun easily recognized the familiar voice among them.

Ji Yunrong is here!

At this moment, Her Royal Highness the Princess attacked and broke into the Queen Mother's bedroom without permission.

Just because she heard not long ago that her childhood sweetheart appeared here!

At this sensitive moment, she instantly thought of the reasons she thought were right.

This is definitely the old witch trying to steal someone else's boyfriend and win over her childhood sweetheart!

This is too much!

It's fine that you stole my property, but now you even want to take my dog!

Unacceptable and unforgivable!

Can you still hesitate?

If you hesitate any longer, your childhood sweetheart will be gone!

No matter who tried to stop him along the way, Ji Yunrong was determined to rush towards Xia Shiyun.

In the end, she actually entered the Queen Mother's bedroom.

But when she got here, everything she saw was a little different from what she had expected.

At this moment, in the huge bedroom, Xia Shiyun was the only one lying on the couch.

Facing Ji Yunrong sideways, Xia Shiyun put her beautiful legs together and supported her head with her delicate hands.

Beneath that lazy and charming look, the oppressive feeling that quietly passed by made Her Royal Highness the Princess feel very stressed.

Damn it! How come the old witch is even more powerful than that big vicious cow?
