After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chapter 482 The Truth

Finally, Shangguan Shu finished reading a medical book in an afternoon, then went to the secret cell with a knife. He wanted to torture Zhao Yao to death with his own hands!

It was a dark and windy night, a perfect opportunity to kill someone and destroy the body.

It is also a good opportunity for lightning and thunder.

Shangguan Shu was almost struck by lightning.

Just when his dagger touched Zhao Yao's flesh, a huge thunderbolt pierced through the thick stone wall and was about to strike him. He was unable to dodge and was probably going to die.

At the same time, the ground shook violently like an earthquake.

Zhao Yao looked at the rocks falling from above her head and laughed wildly and complacently.

"Hahahaha... Shangguan Shu, come on, make your move. Why aren't you doing anything yet? I'm still waiting for you to kill me!"

"Master!" The secret guard supported Shangguan Shu.

Shangguan Shu said nothing and looked at Zhao Yao quietly.

Zhao Yao smiled and tears flowed from her eyes again. "Do you hate me so much? Just because I harmed your child and bothered you and Zhao Ying, but your child is safe and sound, while my children are living a life worse than death. Shangguan Shu, what did I owe you? You are obviously my man. I have fallen in love with you since childhood, and we have always been very good... It's Zhao Ying! It's all her!!"

"Why do you only have her in your heart? Why can't you see the good in me!!!"

Zhao Yao collapsed and screamed.

Shangguan Shu was still in shock after what he had just experienced. He let the secret guard help him sit down. He felt exhausted as if he had aged ten years. The corners of his eyes were red and he said in pain, "Maybe you are a thousand good things, ten thousand good things, but I just can't see them!"

"I'm telling you clearly, even when we were childhood sweethearts, I never had any feelings for you."

He was confused and panicked, as if talking to himself, "Why is this happening? Why do I love you? Why would I even ignore my own child for you... Why can't you kill me or kill me?"

No, he is not that kind of person... He has never claimed to be a gentleman of high moral character, but he has never had any malicious thoughts towards his children or Zhao Ying.

The worst thing he could think of was to lock Zhao Ying up, so that she would have only him for the rest of her life and he would be the only one in her eyes!

What did he do wrong?

Why did God treat him like this?

Since Zhao Yao can't die, does that prove that the trajectory of their fate will remain the same as before?

A trace of hatred suddenly flashed across Shangguan Shu's eyes. He hated fate, hated Zhao Yao, and hated... They were just characters in the story, destined to be controlled by the plot!

Zhao Yao looked at Shangguan Shu's distraught state and lowered her guilty eyes.

Why do you love her?

Why can't she die?

Because she stole all his love for Zhao Ying and put it on her.

Otherwise, why would he have her in his eyes?

But since it was stolen, why did he still fall in love with Zhao Ying?

Zhao Yao regretted her decision.

She should have killed Zhao Ying early on and completely cut off her chance of seducing Shangguan Shu!

The system hid secretly, not daring to make any sound. It was the culprit. If Shangguan Shu noticed it... it was afraid of his karma fire.

Shangguan Shu said expressionlessly, "Zhao Yao, did you do something to me?"

Zhao Yao and the system were shocked.

What did he know?

Shangguan Shu's sharp eyes pierced Zhao Yao like a knife, "I know your secret."

"We all live in... a storybook. Zhao Zihua is the heroine of the storybook, and the hero of the storybook is called... Hua Shang, right?"

Zhao Yao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She asked in shock, "How did you know?!"

The system was also panicking. It asked Zhao Yao to calm down in a trembling voice, "Host, don't panic. Let me think about it!"

Across from him, Shangguan Shu sneered, his smile not reaching his eyes. He sat lazily, raised one leg and pressed it on the other leg, raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Not only do I know all this, I also know that I will rebel and make you the queen, and then my children will die one after another, but I treat Zhao Ziyin and Zhao Zihua, two bastards, as my own children."

Shangguan Shu's expression became more and more sarcastic. "Sometimes I even doubt that this is not a plot from a novel, but a fantasy dream of yours!"

When Zhao Yao heard Shangguan Shu say it was a dream, she was completely defeated. She retorted unwillingly, "This is not a dream! This is the reality that is going to happen. It is me that you should love and protect. It was Zhao Ying who bewitched you and made you be so cruel to me!"

[Will the male protagonist remember it? Although I removed and transferred his memory, he... is not an ordinary person. If he breaks through...]

Zhao Yao gritted her teeth in hatred, what a rubbish system!

Shangguan Shu seemed to see through Zhao Yao, and said slowly, "If you really know, how do you know? Who are you? I have known you for many years, and I have not noticed anything special about you. I don't think you have any special abilities. If you did, why would you have suffered so much humiliation at the hands of the Xiongnu?"

"Did someone help you?"

"Tell me and I'll let you go."

Zhao Yao looked up at the man in front of her, her heart overwhelmed by fear and love.

He is so scary and so smart.

She was so sharp and powerful that she loved and hated him!

But what did he ask her to say?

He said that he had fallen deeply in love with Zhao Ying since he was eight years old, or perhaps even earlier, and was concerned about her every move and smile. He said that all the disasters in their beautiful love were caused by her.

Because of her envy and jealousy at the beginning?

Zhao Yao shook her head stubbornly, "No!"

"Nothing at all!"

[It’s me!] The system suddenly spoke.

Inside the closed cell, a strange mechanical sound was heard, and Shangguan Shu narrowed his eyes when he heard it.

Zhao Yao was furious, "Shut up, you're betraying me!"

[Sorry host, I thought about it carefully and I think there is a saying that goes, it is never too late to turn back after straying.]

[At first, I helped you to capture the hero out of the resentment of the bystanders, but the hero had his own consciousness, and your strategy actually harmed him! ]

"What did you say? I killed him. If it weren't for..."

Shangguan Shu gave the secret guard a look, and the secret guard stepped forward to cover Zhao Yao's mouth. Zhao Yao whimpered into the void.

Shangguan Shu asked calmly, "Who are you?"

[Male protagonist, I am the system. I am the executor of the story, and also the assistant of Zhao Yao in conquering you. I can tell you the whole truth, but you must ensure my safety.]

"it is good."

[You and Zhao Ying were originally the male and female protagonists of another storybook, but due to some other reasons, the female supporting character Zhao Yao in the original storybook had an obsession with you, so this storybook was derived.]

[Do you still remember the day when you carefully prepared a gift for Princess Chengqian’s eighth birthday...]
