Chapter 142: Walking on the tip of the knife

"That. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 I raised my hand and pressed his hand, bit my lip lightly, and plucked up courage and said, "Can you let me leave the palace? Don't let your father know." ā€

He was stunned, and his eyes sank.

I took his hand and held it with trembling hands: "I am an orphan girl, and I want to bury my brother." Since I don't have the surname Qi, staying here will only remind me of the absurd past, which will only make me feel embarrassed. Didn't you say you cared about my life? I don't think I will live long in this palace, so will you secretly send me away? I will find a place to hide and never appear in Dragon City...... I ......"

"No, I can't. He grabbed my hand and looked embarrassed: "This is the only one that can't do it." If you don't get used to it, then I'll leave some more time for your mood to change before we discuss our marriage. But you can't leave here because ...... My father cares about your whereabouts. ā€

"Huh!" I let go of his hand and laughed mockingly, but for a moment my eyes turned red. My nose was so sore that I looked up at the gloomy sky and forced back my tears: "Why do you make excuses to cover up?"

I couldn't help but leave the wall with a cold snort, and then pointed to the high courtyard wall and said angrily: "Jingge, the princess's residence, it's just a gorgeous cage!"

"Your father cares about my whereabouts? haha. I looked at him amusedly, "Don't you care as the successor city lord......?" What you care about is not my Lu Qian's whereabouts at all, but the whereabouts of the contents of the scroll in my head, right?"

He didn't retort, he held my hand and fell silent, his gaze dark and deep.

I shook him off and laughed more and more desolately: "Wei fox, it's the fox who always shows the fox's tail, isn't it? You built a gorgeous palace to lock me up, and then what? Do you marry me and put me in a bigger and more ornate cage? Or kill me to prevent future trouble?"

"Qi Lingyu, why do you have to think about that kind of dirty work?" he suddenly exploded, staring at me with tears in his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "It is the responsibility of the Qi family to protect the contents of the scroll from leaking, and it is also something I must do. How to train a dragon is dangerous, not everyone can do it, and with the further development of the potential of the dragon herd, many people often die of exhaustion because their energy can't keep up with their own dragons, and the dragon will die if they follow!

"Huh...... You're finally telling the truth!" The corners of my lips curled in a mocking arc to look at him, and the more I smiled, the more my nose became sore, and even my heart became sore.

I took a deep breath: "Wei Jingyuan, you keep saying that you want me to believe you." What about you? Do you believe me? You must not, otherwise, how would you want to lock me up in this pavilion?"

He didn't speak, his eyes fixed on me, as if I would be gone in the next moment.

"Actually, now I understand one thing......" I said, a little in a trance, but sure of it. The man in front of him really lived up to my little mother's evaluation of him at the beginning: I don't know how many days higher than his father is the scheming in his belly.

In the whole process of seizing power, Qi Mu just told him what to do, and he not only really did it, but also had no last resort, completely recovering half of the country occupied by the Wei family. After a moment of silence, my eyes finally turned red again.

I looked at him in a daze, opened my lips and said what I didn't finish: "Actually, since the day I became the lord of the city, I have been walking on the tip of a knife and wandering at the gates of hell. Moreover, my death was already sealed the moment your father led me to the Chamber of Secrets and opened the first volume of How to Train Your Dragon. ā€

"There won't be that day! Absolutely not!" He finally couldn't help but step forward and hugged me, buried his face in my shoulder socket and said eagerly: "Whether I am Wei Jingyuan or Qi Jingyuan, I promised to protect you well, and I will never break my word." You are the only woman I love in this world, and I will not let anyone take your life, not even my father! Do you believe me? I will not hurt you, and I will give you the highest honor. Let you have a safe life and a happy life. ā€

I have even done it as a city lord, what is a higher title and honor than this?

Looking over Wei Jingyuan's shoulder, I looked at the falling flowers flying in the wind, and felt uncomfortable in my heart: "Do you want to exchange your life's freedom and life for peace and happiness in a gorgeous cage that can never be obtained?" I muttered, wanting to laugh but couldn't.

As long as I'm alive, I can't be safe just by watching "How to Train Your Dragon" in its near entirety, and where does the happiness come from?

After listening to my words, his body stiffened visibly. I took a deep breath and slowly pushed him away, "I know I have no way to survive but to be locked up here, but I need time to accept it. So, will you leave me alone for now?"

"Good. He smiled softly, his forced smile was a little difficult, and he pursed his lips and said, "It's going to rain, let Miao Yan bring an umbrella with you." ā€

I stood still until he struggled to turn away. Wei Jingyuan's back was a little gloomy, he was no longer capable and arrogant in the past, but he was a little more calm, and he turned his gaze away, and I went in the opposite direction to him.

For a moment, I felt a little dazed. It's only been a few days, how did we end up like this?

I walked through the flowers and willows, not knowing where I was going, just stepping on a messy step towards the path. The mind has long been like a cocoon, and there is no clue.

Suddenly, I slammed into the railing and leaned forward. I instinctively reached out and grabbed the carved stone fence in front of me, but a hairpin on my head was thrown out because of the moment just now, and it fell into the water in front of me.

This is the lotus pond at the beginning, I still remember that Wei Jingyuan and Feng Qingyi were still competing and fishing here, and it was miserable to toss my pool of fat fish.

I leaned on the stone railing, and for a moment I watched the reflection of the hairpin shattered in the water. Fake, all fake! The princess's noble status is just a tool used to trap me. Not only that, but there is something deeper that I don't see......

Even if Wei Jingyuan didn't want to kill me, Qi Mu couldn't let me go, the one who knew the Qi family's top secrets.

The next volume of the scroll said that Bailong Dan or something, but except for the city lord and the only trustworthy priest surnamed Qi, even the people of the clan could not be told the top secret. I've seen all of this.

Therefore, Qi Mu named me the princess of Jincheng just to stabilize those who didn't want me to die.
