Chapter 336: Night Talk in the Imperial City
"Father, my sister-in-law Qin Wuxian has arrived, and she is now waiting in the Shadow and Painting Palace. ”
The second prince, Su Tan, still looks so gentle and elegant.
And Yang Zimu, the "retainer" he brought behind him, stood behind him with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and did his duty as a courtier without saying a word.
Su Zheng, the eldest son of the current emperor, has long been punished by the emperor to go to Taixue to continue his studies because of his own stupid behavior a few days ago.
And Su Tong, the princess of the empire, has already left with Su Mu.
At this time, it seems that only the ambitious second prince Su Tan is left.
"Go and wait, and the widow will pass. ”
A cold voice rang out from under the emperor's old face.
Su Tan was not surprised when he heard this, in his eyes, his father had already had a strange personality, so not only did he not make a superfluous response, but directly took Yang Zimu to the Shadow and Painting Hall to wait.
However, when Su Tan had just left, in the originally empty hall, a certain internal official who was almost imperceptible quietly appeared beside the emperor.
And at this moment, the content of the reply in his mouth made the emperor who was originally pretending to be indifferent, and a trace of smile appeared on the corner of his mouth after all:
"Two bugs followed, but they were so good at concealment that I wouldn't be able to identify them without making direct contact. And the outer palace was not well defended, and if they were to startle the snakes there, they would not dare to continue to follow up. ”
So I didn't move them, but let them go deeper. As long as their presence is reconfirmed in the inner palace, there is no way for them to escape. ”
The internal official who made a return at this moment was the first internal official who went to pick up Qin Wupian into the palace, and it was even ...... That day, Su Mu pointed out the internal officials where the hotbed of the giant dragon was located!
There was no doubt that the Emperor had already noticed the hints made by Qin Wudi to Su Mu.
As for Qin Wulian's initiative to contact the Papal States, the Imperial side also intercepted the exact information.
Therefore, regarding Qin Wulian's entry into the palace at the right time, it was not because of the whim of the emperor, but the decision was made after waiting for the "rescuer" to appear.
"Looks like I'm using that broken sword as bait, and I'm really going to attract good things. ”
The Emperor looked up at the endless night sky outside the hall, as if he had seen the two small and sneaky black shadows after passing through the darkness.
So the corners of the emperor's mouth finally hung a hint of mocking smile.
......
"What is a picture?"
On a not-so-conspicuous rooftop, two imperceptible figures were crouching in the shadow of the moon, silently looking at the shadow of the shadow in front of them.
After some careful searching, Su Mu and Maggie had obviously discovered Qin Wupiao's location.
However, as for the reason why the emperor invited Qin Wulian into the palace, Su Mu was particularly interested.
However, what is even more strange is that for such a boring question as Su Mu, which has nothing to do with the current situation, Maggie did not have any sense of rejection, but naturally replied:
"It was the Founding Emperor who invented something to record certain images and sounds with magic for entertainment. It's just that, because the film and painting need to be released by a mage above the sixth order of the Chinese character after all, so in the entire continent, except for the royal family of the Longtuo Empire, no one else can actually enjoy this luxurious entertainment. ”
Su Mu was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't seem to expect it at all:
The so-called film ...... It's a movie that uses magic!
In the past, in order to make himself happier in this world, he actually came up with such a luxurious entertainment method, and directly used the sixth-order mage of the Chinese character as a projector.
Power is really a thing that can corrode people's hearts, Su Mu simply can't imagine that he would make such a move not to treat others as human beings when everyone is born equal has almost become an inherent concept.
However, compared to Su Mu's strong interest in film and painting, Maggie is obviously more interested in Su Mu himself.
After she finished explaining, Maggie suddenly asked:
"So...... Do you prefer the princess of the empire who is not married to you, or do you prefer your tutor of the academy with particularly bright eyes?"
Su Mu heard this, and he didn't expect that Maggie, as the saintess of the Pope's state, would be such a gossip existence.
Therefore, the current Su Mu did not intend to answer this question, and was still quiet by the cornices without saying a word, wanting to use silence to dispel this strange question.
However, at this time, Maggie was obviously not ready to give Su Mu a chance to avoid.
Even her next sentence made Su Mu have to face this question that he didn't want to answer:
"This is the first of the three questions, I just want to try it now, do you have the courage to completely and strictly fulfill the three questions you promised me?"
......
Facing Maggie beside her, she directly escalated the matter into an agreement between the two.
Su Mu, who was in a dilemma, had no choice but to face this matter frankly.
"I didn't think about it, but I have already made a decision!"
The question itself was actually a question that had been pressed on Su Mu's heart for a long time, but at this time, under Maggie's step-by-step pressure, Su Mu had some frank courage.
However, Su Mu's words, "I didn't think about it" and "I have chosen", are obviously contradictory things.
Therefore, Maggie also raised her eyebrows slightly, expressing direct doubt.
Seeing this, Su Mu took a deep breath, this messy mood that had been entangled in his heart for a long time, Su Mu really couldn't reveal it to others at will.
At this time, since Maggie used quid pro quo to oppress people, Su Mu was much more sincere and sincere:
"I used to be fascinated by starry eyes and thought that was what I was after. But in the days that followed, there was a stubborn girl by my side who was also worth cherishing. Whether it's the former or the latter, it's something that can make people's hearts throb. ”
But it's because both are so brilliant and so worthy of people's wholehearted attention. So I obviously couldn't accept it either, and at the same time allowed myself to accept two very different loves. That's the first point I made, and I still haven't thought about it...... How to face your heart. ”
Su Mu's low and faint voice could only be heard by Maggie, who was closest to him.
In the night that was so quiet, between Su Mu's soft words, there was obviously a different atmosphere from this continent.
"But now it seems that I have actually made a choice, or rather...... I have to make a choice!"
When Su Mu said this, he once again remembered the shallow kiss from Su Tong before he jumped down from the feather ship, and his mood was no longer so heavy after all.
Before Su Mu came to this world, he was only a sophomore in high school after all.
So about love, in fact, Su Mu also has no experience.
Although the memory of those eyes is still an indelible beauty in Su Mu's heart, since he has come to this point, in fact, Su Mu still has to make a choice after all.
"My fiancée is Su Tong, so the person I will cherish with all my strength can only be my fiancée Su Tong. No matter what throbbing I ever had, it couldn't change the final outcome. ”
Su Mu's words, I don't know whether he is convincing himself or Marggie.
In short, from the moment Su Mu jumped off the feather ship, he had already made the final decision.
Since he always has to give up one of the beauty, at least he can't let Su Tong, who has left his hometown, face it alone, so Su Mu's final choice can only be like this.
The crimson blood moon once again cast a pink and tender glow.
According to the bitter sweetness in Su Mu's mouth, Su Mu and the two in the moon shadow were buried deep again.
In the Hall of Pictures and Pictures, the Emperor has already arrived in person, and under the service of a kind of internal officials, the court mages have already begun the screening of pictures and paintings.
Although the inner palace of the Red Forbidden City is undoubtedly the place where the aura of power is most concentrated in the entire empire.
But under the pervasive atmosphere of power, the "movie" content shown in the film is instead a slightly pleasing folk love legend.
"It seems that the reason why the emperor chose this time to summon Qin Wulian into the palace was obviously to use the long screening of the film and painting to stay in the palace directly. ”
Extremely abruptly, after being forced to ask Su Mu's heart with extra gossip, Maggie changed to herself, and suddenly talked about the true purpose of the emperor.
And after hearing this, Su Mu immediately kept up with Maggie's jumping thinking, and also quickly added:
"The time I agreed with Qin Wushu is after midnight tonight. So if the Emperor doesn't plan to let Qin Wupian leave the inner palace tonight, I'm afraid we will have to ...... Take Qin Wulian and sneak away together!"
