21. Explain why

"Does the sixth prince mean to kill me to compensate for my broken tea set?" I asked unhurriedly. www.biquge.info I knew that though the room was dark, he could see my calm eyes without a hint of waves, just as I could see his angry eyes, though it was dark. He looked at me like this for a moment, and then burst out laughing. The tense look just now is gone. Instead, there was a relaxed demeanor. He moved the stool he had just made to me and sat closer to me. Close in the moonlight, we could see each other clearly. He looked me straight in the eye and asked with a smile, "You really don't seem afraid that I will kill you?" Why? Aren't you afraid of death at all? I also smiled, followed his example, looked him in the eye, and said slowly, "I'm afraid of death." But is it useful to be afraid? Can I not die if I am afraid of death? You hold the power of my life and death, and you can let me die any way you want at any time. I don't have any relatives and I don't have any friends. There is no one in this world who cares about me and I care. I originally wanted to be a conscientious cook in your palace, with food to eat and a room, so that I could simply survive. But then I realized that such a small wish of mine could only be an extravagant hope. I don't know how I got caught up in some kind of turmoil. You deliberately showed your grace and indulgence to me in front of all the princes, and deliberately showed your difference to me in front of everyone. Deliberately let me show that I am competing for favor with Xiao Tao, and you are obviously on my side. I know there must be some kind of political power struggle involved, and I'm just a little pawn of yours. I admit it, really, if being a chess piece can also give me a space to survive, I am willing to be a chess piece. However, perhaps you think I should be a bigger pawn, so you blatantly take me back to my room and let all the fingers point at me. How long do you think I can live in such a situation? So, does it work if I'm afraid of death? Can I not die if I'm afraid of death? Since I'm going to die sooner or later, it's better to be happy, at least, to prove that I have been in this world! I closed my eyes and let the two lines of tears flow silently. I really don't understand, why is it so hard for me to live well!

A warm hand brushed my cheek and wiped the tears from my face. I know whose hand it is. But I didn't feel or feel anything. I am still immersed in my silent grief. I think I must have done all the evil things in my previous life to have such a bleak life in this life.

Yixun wiped away my tears and gently held my hand in the palm of his. waited for my emotions to slowly calm down, and then spoke softly: "Xueyao, don't cry." A lot of things aren't as scary as you think. Of course, I want to take advantage of you, but it's not all about it. I feel that you are a person who God has given me great help to me! "Me? I'm a cook who has helped you immensely? Lord Wang, don't make this kind of joke that makes people laugh off their big teeth. I'm not a smart person, but such a ridiculous lie can't fool me! You still say what you want me to do for you, even if I am asked to die, I want to die clearly, and I don't want to die in a beautiful lie! ”

My rude words did not make the prince angry, he still held my hand and said calmly: "Don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly." That day in the garden, suddenly there was a light brighter than lightning, and then you appeared. "When I thought of my glamorous appearance that day, I not only blushed. But fortunately, it was at night, and he definitely couldn't see it. "You said you were Xu Xueyao, you said you forgot where you came from, you said you fell and lost your memory, do you remember?" Of course I remember, how can I not remember the nonsense I made up? So I nodded. "Actually, I don't believe it!" "There is a ghost in faith, and only an idiot can believe such unreliable words." I muttered to myself. But his ears were still pricked up to listen to Yixun continue. "I'm beginning to suspect that you're a youkai, but how can a youkai appear in the garden half-naked in broad daylight. Later, you said you wanted to show me your cooking skills so that I could find a place to live. I suspect who you sent to the palace to go undercover. "Undercover?" I couldn't help but laugh! "Your imagination is too rich to put in this form to go undercover? Aren't you afraid that you'll burn me like a monster? If you really want to go undercover, you have to be like a peach to be foolproof! Listening to my words, I obviously felt Yixun's hand tremble: "Xiao Tao? You say Yao Tao is an undercover agent? I looked at him with disdain: "What, are you going to tell me that you don't know he's undercover?" I don't know if she was sent by the second prince? "No, no, no," Yixun was really shocked: "I didn't say I didn't know she was undercover, I just wondered how you knew she was undercover?" I sighed, people in this age are really naïve! It's no wonder that I amazed them with this piece of material. I broke free of my hand from Yixun's hand and said to him, "From the first day I can see that you don't really love her, and you are obviously kind to me and thin on her at the banquet just now, and I happen to see that her eyes can't be turned away from Erwang Yishen's body. If that doesn't tell the story, I'm really throwing my brain off. ”

Yixun also smiled, looking very pleased: "I know you are smart, but I didn't expect you to be so smart." You are right, Yao Tao is an undercover agent sent by the second emperor brother. She was originally a singer in the second prince's mansion. Later, in order to send her to my house, a special bureau was set up for me to rescue her from the robbers, and then she cried and cried to death, and she must promise to die. At that time, I didn't know her true identity, but seeing that he was poor and beautiful, and that he was still the daughter of a good family, I brought him back to the house. Later, she has been behaving very well, and I officially made her a side concubine. Later, when she asked Xiaoyu to pass information to the second child, it happened to be seen by my people, and I began to suspect her and sent someone to investigate her background. found out that what she said was fake, including her so-called parents, who were also pretending to be the housekeepers of the second child in Zhuangzi. One of the reasons why the second child did this was that he wanted to seize my handle, join me with my father, and make me fall out of favor, so that he could get rid of a strong competitor. In a way, he can always know my movements, so that he can know himself and his opponent. Do you know that although the crown prince is still there, he has repeatedly offended his father, and although his father has repeatedly protected him, his disappointment in the prince is getting worse day by day. All the people in the court know that it is a matter of time before the crown prince is abolished, and the second child has always coveted the throne, and among our princes, I am the most capable of competing with him! I pursed my lips and muttered, "Is it because you're more handsome than him?" Yixun didn't understand, so I asked me to speak louder, so I repeated it loudly. Yixun still didn't understand, looked at me suspiciously, and asked, "What does it mean that I'm more handsome than him?" "I said in my heart that I don't understand handsome, what an idiot prince. With a normal smile on his face, Rong tried his best to say respectfully in a normal voice: "You are more handsome than him, which means that you are more capable than him, amazing!" "Oh... Looking at Yixun's sudden realization, the laughter in my heart has been suffocated into internal injuries.
