Chapter 540: Concealing the Truth
"My pearl has grown up, and she has her own thoughts."
Sheng Mingzhu's father looked at his baby daughter's tightly closed mouth, shook his head and smiled helplessly, and didn't seem to intend to keep asking this question: "Okay, it's hard for you to come back, let's go back to the room to rest and rest first, it's not too late to talk about these things later." ”
Seeing that his father finally stopped asking no more, Sheng Mingzhu's heart finally relaxed, saluted the other party and slowly withdrew from the hall.
She was carrying the hem of a long dress that she hadn't worn for too long, and had just walked out of the hall to breathe a sigh of relief, when she heard a voice in her ear.
"You seem to feel a sense of relief, what's the matter, is it a big burden for you to meet your father after a long absence?"
Sheng Mingzhu subconsciously turned his head to look over, and saw He Jingchuan standing behind him with his arms crossed, looking at him with a speculative expression.
"Why are you standing behind me like a ghost, you can't even hear a sound, and you want to scare me to death."
She patted her chest gently, looked at the other party with some scrutiny, and realized that He Jingchuan was specially here to wait for her to come out.
"What kind of mood do I have when I talk to my father, do I still have to report to you," Sheng Mingzhu looked at the man standing in front of him, and the heroic posture of the former Shengshi Empire giving orders was unconsciously revealed, "I haven't seen you for a while, He Jingchuan, you dare to talk to me like this?" ”
He Jingchuan is also a man no matter how he says it, although he is willing to be Sheng Mingzhu's subordinate and driven by her, but he also has dignity and ambition in his heart.
He likes this woman, and naturally wants to conquer her and make her look at him as an equal, instead of just treating him as a doer like this, not allowing him to break into her private world.
"I'm just curious how you answered Your Highness's question."
Although He Jingchuan was reprimanded by the other party, he did not show the slightest panic, but just crossed his arms and looked at the other party unhurriedly and said, "How did you tell Your Highness about whether you have found other civilized planets?" ”
"I've answered this question many times," Sheng Mingzhu didn't know why the other party had to ask this question over and over again, but he vaguely felt a little uneasy in his heart, like an instinct, "During the time I left the Shengshi Empire, I wandered in the black hole and couldn't find a way out, until the unexpected appearance of the Nine Star Ring phenomenon gave me the opportunity to return to my own planet." ”
"He Jingchuan, although I don't know what you are suspicious, but you shouldn't question the symbol of power on this planet, why should I do those things that hurt the interests of my empire, and I hope you don't speculate on your own."
"You didn't do anything to hurt the interests of the Empire?"
He Jingchuan repeated what Sheng Mingzhu said as if he was confirming something.
He lowered his head and smiled a little coldly, then took out a mobile phone from his body and showed her the screen: "Then what is this?" ”
Sheng Mingzhu looked at the familiar mobile phone model, and saw Bo Sicheng's photo appear on the screen, her pupils suddenly tightened and she reached out angrily to grab it: "He Jingchuan, you dare to touch my things without my permission?!" ”
She was so annoyed that the things she tried to hide were exposed by He Jingchuan in front of her eyes, and she didn't even have a little psychological preparation.
Bo Sicheng and Baobao are her most important existence, and her bottom line, she can't tolerate anyone to hurt them, even if this person is a friend who grew up with her.
"Who the hell is this man, and why does he appear in your phone album? And why are you so close? ”
He Jingchuan was expressionless and flipped through the photos in Sheng Mingzhu's mobile phone album, looking at the intimate group photos one after another.
Even if he wants to push everything on his friends, these cheek-hugging photos are a reminder to recognize the facts.
He had never seen Sheng Mingzhu get so close to a man in the Shengshi Empire, even if he had never had such intimate contact with the other party.
Because Sheng Mingzhu has always been a little weak in terms of feelings, and her interest in men is not high, her father is also very distressed about her marriage, and he Jingchuan was selected as the best candidate for marriage by her side.
He looked at the photo of Sheng Mingzhu and the strange man, his heart was sour and angry, he and Sheng Mingzhu had been together for so long and had not been able to go from being friends to lovers, but this man did not take long to capture Sheng Mingzhu's heart.
How could a competitive person like He Jingchuan swallow this breath.
"It doesn't matter who he gives you," Sheng Mingzhu reached out and snatched his mobile phone from his hand, quickly flipped through it, and then clenched it in the palm of his hand, "You just need to do your own thing, you don't have to worry about my business." ”
He Jingchuan stared at the woman in front of him with some pain, as if he couldn't understand what she was thinking: "Mingzhu, you have changed, you are not the princess who is full of blood for the empire." ”
"You have already discovered other sources of civilization, why did you choose to hide it and not tell us the truth?"
Sheng Mingzhu took a deep breath and calmed down her emotions a little.
She also felt that she had been a little presumptuous before, and she did not consider them from the other party's position.
But no matter what, it is impossible for her to push Bo Sicheng and Baobao and even the entire ancient country of China into an extremely dangerous situation, so she can only try her best to calm the irritability surging in her heart and explain things clearly.
"Why don't I tell the truth, don't you know better than me, if my father knew about the existence of other ancient kingdoms, he would definitely start a war against other planets and plunder their resources at will."
"Jingchuan," Sheng Mingzhu patiently explained to him, wanting to dispel this idea from the other party, "You have experienced so many wars with me, and have seen so many bloody and tragic situations, you should know how to start a war and plunder and crusade at the same time, how harmful it is to the entire empire." ”
"Once the war starts, it's not just the planet that was plundered that will be harmed, it's not a good thing for us either, and the war won't affect one or two planets, you know?"
