Chapter 158: Fu Yuzheng

“Zhengzheng was originally a character that I made up out of thin air, and I thought that even if they did go to Xuzhou to investigate, they wouldn’t be able to find out anything.

All they could discover was what I wanted them to find out.

What I didn’t expect was that if I fabricated a character, they could just as easily fabricate a character and send her to me.

That little girl came to me then, and the first thing I did was prepare to kill her.

My hand was already around her neck, but in the end I left her alive.

Not because I was soft-hearted and sympathetic to her. In fact, it was her who saved herself.”

Speaking of which, Feng Qingbai’s memories flashed back to that moment.

At that moment, that girl grabbed his hand. Because of suffocation, her face has begun to turn purple, but her eyes were unafraid and instead shone with another kind of light.

It was a strong desire to live.

She wanted to live, and for this belief, she could do everything she could.

Much like he once was.

At that moment, she squeezed out her voice with difficulty.

“I know there is only one outcome when I come, which is death, and you won’t let me go.

I want to make a deal with you.

If you agree, maybe I can be a help to you.”

She was smart. From the moment they sent her, she knew she couldn’t hide everything.

A fake was a fake. How could King Nanling not recognize his life-saver?

How could he not know the purpose of her presence at his side?

Those people sent her here so that she could spy on him and get what they wanted from King Nanling.

“She’s a spy those people sent to you?” Liu Yusheng asked curiously, “So she defected with you?”

“She told me that as long as I kept her alive, she could tell me everything those people told her to do and every order they gave her.

She can also help me spy from there, making it easier for me to counter my opponents in the game.

In this way, when I want to deal with my political opponents, I can do it with half the effort. And she can also save her life.

In addition, she also asked me to agree to a request.

Her name is Fu Yuzheng, and she’s a concubine daughter of a small family in the capital.

Because of the downfall of her mother’s family, her mother and she were expelled from the family when she was a child and abandoned by her father.

Someone brought her back this time only to use her against me.

She asked me to help bring her family to great heights and then, when they were at their most prosperous, to knock them down hard into the abyss and leave them in pieces.

I agreed and gave her the status of a lady-in-waiting to keep her in the house.

The situation was such that if I hadn’t kept her, those people would have continued to send a second and third Zhengzheng to me.

As opposed to that, it would be better to just keep her with me, so I can block a lot of unnecessary troubles, then I’d be sure of the score.

In fact, others sent her to my side as a spy, but she turned into my spy.
