Volume 1: The Palace Chapter 10: I Never Lie to You

Shen Xie stretched out his palm and groped for a while on the stone wall, he found a protruding button in the smooth stone wall and the seam next to it, pressed it and turned his head.

He looked at Lu Ziyue, who looked a little flustered: "I am still willing to give you the opportunity to make your own choice, last time your choice saved your little maid, Ah Yue, this time you have to choose seriously." ”

"Even if I choose seriously, can you let my father and queen mother go?" She looked at him with wide eyes, a rare hint of supplication in them.

Shen Xie wouldn't take her to see anything good, let alone let her make a choice this time.

"Not necessarily, but it always gives you a little hope." There was a hint of sarcasm in his smile, "I'll take a closer look at it later, and then make a good choice, I'm very interested in your answer." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned his head again and pressed the button, and the smooth stone wall slowly lifted upward, and after a while, the stone wall disappeared in front of their eyes.

Outside the stone wall is a grassy field, and not far away is a tall building.

Lu Ziyue didn't expect that there was a cave outside the stone wall, but this building was all made of stone, which was simple and a little solemn.

"Is this what you said, the dark side hidden in the capital?"

Shen Xie didn't reply to her words, he walked forward slowly, and when he reached the gate of the building, an old man in a white robe walked out of it, his hair and beard were gray, the back of his exposed hands had many wrinkles, and his dry skin was stuck to the bones.

He looks very old, but the skin on his face is very immature, white and smooth, like the skin of a man in his teens and twenties who has just reached the crown.

Crane hair and childish face?

Lu Ziyue hid doubts in her heart, the more she felt that this place was not ordinary, and the more she walked, the more furious her heart became.

The old man walked directly towards Shen Xie, and a smile appeared on his white face: "The prince hasn't come over for a long time." ”

Shen Xie also had a rare hook of lips, and he smiled and pointed to Lu Ziyue who followed behind him: "If the princess wants to make a choice, I will take her to see how this choice should be made." ”

After Shen Xie finished speaking, the white-bearded old man looked at Lu Ziyue behind him in surprise.

He was surprised, "Oh? Didn't the princess and the prince discuss this matter? ”

The white-bearded old man looked at Lu Ziyue with some puzzlement, he bent over slightly with his hands in fists, which was regarded as a salute.

When he raised his head, he saw Lu Ziyue's somewhat confused eyes.

People have lived for a long time and have seen more things, and the white-bearded old man can probably guess that Lu Ziyue was deceived into coming here today.

It seems that the relationship between the prince and the princess is not as strong as it is rumored outside, and this foreign princess still has some brains, and she is not addicted to love and love and can't extricate herself.

When he thought of this, he said to Shen Xie apologetically: "I didn't know that the prince was coming today, so I didn't prepare any interesting programs, but I just estimated the time, and now it's time to let the wind out." ”

The white-bearded old man said this and cast a rather pitying look at Lu Ziyue: "The prince can take the princess Niangniang to go in and see the people inside, presumably the princess Niangniang will give the prince a satisfactory answer." ”

After saying that, the white-bearded old man retreated.

There were two of them left in the wide land again, and the panic in Lu Ziyue's heart made her feel a desire to leave, and this desire grew very quickly in her heart.

When Shen Xie was about to take her in to have a look, Lu Ziyue suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "I'm not going, I will never say in front of you in the future that I want you to save my father and queen mother, Shen Xie, I beg you, you just turn a blind eye, I won't do anything that is not good for you Shen Guo." ”

The little woman in front of her took the initiative to lower her posture as a princess in front of him, the matter of Da Yue Kingdom has been coming for so long, she has come to beg him many times, but it is the first time that Shen Xie feels so pitiful.

There were no tears in her big eyes, but her eyes were red, and she looked at him pitifully, which made Shen Xie a little reluctant.

But he still has to make Lu Ziyue give up saving her parents, and let her know that if she wants to live well in this world, she can only rely on herself.

The two of them are going to live together for the rest of their lives, and Lu Ziyue is going to become his queen.

Shen Xie suddenly smiled, and pulled the sleeves out of Lu Ziyue's hands with his hands, and you hid a smile when he said it.

"How could Ah Yue retreat? You have been begging me to spare your father and queen mother, and now I give you the opportunity to save them, why are you suddenly unwilling? ”

Shen Xie stared at her immature face, looking at the confusion and fear in her eyes.

There was coaxing in his deep voice: "Ah Yue, this is a very good opportunity for you, think about it carefully, it's useless for you to beg those generals and officials, they can't influence my thoughts." ”

"But you are my wife, you can do what they can't do, I don't want to give them a chance, but I'm willing to give it to you."

Lu Ziyue didn't expect Shen Xie's temper to be so good today, obviously when he was in the bamboo garden and the carriage just now, he was still a little angry.

But now for a while, he can continue to coax himself as before.

Although she felt that he was a little abnormal today, Lu Ziyue's heart was also a little more stable at the moment, she didn't know if she was too sensitive, or if the environment she was in just now and the people she met affected her emotions.

She nodded obediently, "Can you really guarantee that you won't lie to me?" ”

Shen Xie smiled: "When did I lie to you, Ah Yue, between the two of us, I am very honest, if I don't want to tell you something, I won't say it, I'd rather make you dissatisfied than lie to you, don't you say?" ”

Lu Ziyue thought that this was indeed the case, in the past five years, Shen Xie did not seem to have told any lies in front of her, and sometimes he wanted to know something and asked him.

Shen Xie will first estimate whether he can tell himself about things, and if not, he will directly refuse.

Thinking of this, her anxious heart suddenly calmed down.

Looking at this simple and solemn building, I am not so scared in my heart.

Shen Xie naturally saw that Lu Ziyue had done a very strong psychological construction for herself, but these were useless, before she really went in, Lu Ziyue couldn't imagine the darkness inside at all.

She will give herself a satisfactory answer, after all, as long as she is a child, she can't accept that her parents will suffer such humiliation.
