Chapter 30：Coldness

I wanted to speak to him privately, so I hinted that there were people around. He then instructed everyone to leave, leaving just the two of us.

我想单独和他说话，所以和他暗示了下周边有人，于是他示意所有人全部退下，只剩下了我和他两人了。

"Your Highness, I''ve come to apologize."

“殿下，崔玉此次来是向殿下请罪的。”

"Oh? What have you done wrong?"

“哦，你何罪之有？”

I immediately knelt and bowed my head to him, saying, "Someone deliberately arranged my acquaintance with Your Highness. There is someone who wants me to marry into the Eastern Palace."

我马上跪到了地下，向他磕头道：“崔玉与殿下的相识相知都是有人刻意安排的，因为有人想要崔玉嫁入东宫。”

Having finished my words, I didn''t hear a response. I knelt for a while, still unable to hear any sound. Left with no choice, I raised my head, only to see a cold expression on his face. It was surprising that such a warm and gentle person could show such an icy demeanor.

Thus, I have always considered it my duty to guard the Cui family. Zhang Guoying was once a person I used for this purpose."

他面露不解，我接着往下说：“崔家的人无情，也不讲感情，从小我们学习的是如何为家族牺牲，如何守护家族，所以我从小就以守护崔家为己任，张国英便是我曾经利用过的一个人。”

His face grew even colder.

他的脸色冰冷之色又深了几许。

"Your Highness, someone like me is not worthy of your kindness."

“所以殿下，我崔玉这样的人不值得殿下如此厚待。”

"Are you finished?" he asked.

“说完了？”

"I am."

“说完了”

"Then, you may leave." He seemed exhausted.

“说完了就下去吧”他似乎是累了。

And so, I left. From th
