Chapter 20: Let's Talk About the Past (1)

Hidden eyebrows looked around, and contrary to her previous predictions, it was quite comfortable. The benches were filled with thick and soft filling, the walls were covered with pale gold wallpaper, crimson tapestries hung on both sides, and on one wall hung a large, ornate sword with a body studded with precious stones. Twelve ancient silver ash torches are stuck in the walls. To her right was a bookcase that took up half of the wall, and she glanced at the titles, which were basically historical documents and military studies. Scattered around the corners are two repeating crossbows and several arrows of various sizes. On the left hand is a red-brick fireplace built into the wall, with this pair of leather gloves and a half-full crystal wine glass.

In the center of the room is a red chestnut desk, with several half-open books, an open map, bronze models of several guns and ships, a bottle of ink, a few quills, and a pile of scratched manuscript paper, which make up the entire content of the table. Yin Xinmei thought that there might be other compartments behind the tapestry, and she just wanted to open it to take a look, when she heard a steady stream of unhurried footsteps approaching, and immediately dispelled the idea.

The person who came was none other than Emperor Sesher III.

A white silk shirt, black trousers, and buffalo leather boots, and an over-the-knee gray cashmere coat with gold thread embroidered on the collar and cuffs. He didn't wear a hat, he didn't have any ornaments all over his body, and he was quite casual and excessive. However, even if she had never met the emperor, she would never recognize the wrong person.

Sether's face was slightly tired, perhaps because after the whole uneasy day, the emperor's dark eyes were much less angry, and he was a little more worried, and the corners of his mouth were a little pale but not as hard and cold as usual. He came down the aisle and sat down in a leather chair behind his desk. Sether didn't speak, just looked at the Hidden Lotus slave in front of him in the uniform of the Pigeon Guard. She didn't know what etiquette to use in this situation, so she stood up and bowed, then stood on the edge of the bench with her hands down, her eyes fixed on a button on the emperor's coat.

Sether flipped through an upside-down book and pointed to a picture on it, "Is this the style of the stamp on your body?"

Yin Xinmei stretched out his head and nodded, "That's right, that's what it looks like." "It seems that Infant White really told the emperor everything in the dungeon.

"How many other Hidden Lotus people do you know?"

"There is no one else at the moment but me. ”

"For now?"

"Before I was seven years old, I lived with my parents, and I didn't know anything other than our family of three. ”

"The reason for the separation?"

"Are you asking about what happened in that small village in the province of Wind Spirit Xibashan seventeen years ago?" Emperor Serres is known for his extremely violent temperament and extraordinary hatred for the Hidden Lotus people. Once he gathers relevant clues, no matter which country or state, he will carry out round-up or massacre within the demarcated range, even if it is a friendly country. Seventeen years ago, it was a sudden attack at night that killed almost all of the people in the village, and she was separated from her parents in the process of escaping, and was soon taken away by slave traders.

No one dared to judge his father's actions in front of Sether, and even praise or remembrance was not encouraged, which was the first rule of survival. Yin Xinmei felt that this law coincided with the terrible rumors about Seser that Neng Xiaomi inadvertently revealed last time. Whether or not the murder of his father is true, the pain of living in the shadow of a father like Cerres must not be fake.

Sure enough, her words immediately touched the emperor's anger, and he suddenly changed from a relatively peaceful judge to a lion with sharp teeth.

"Be careful what comes out of your mouth, and don't let it become your snare. ”

"Sometimes it's hard to have the best of both worlds. ”

"What did you say?"

"I mean, do you want to hear the truth, and if you want to get useful information, you'll have to suppress your anger, because if we have anything to do with the Hidden Lotus, we're going to talk about the Emperor, and if I bypass your father, I'm not telling you the truth. So, you're going to have to make a choice for me, do I give you all the truthful information I know, or do I just like you?"

Sether listened to her word for word, and did not speak, but he could see that he was very angry. She waited for him to call someone to beat her up and send her back to the Black Grave, or to be put to death.

Suddenly, the Emperor stood up and walked towards her.
