From here, you can leave this place very quickly.

I slowly walked up.

When I walked to the door, I saw that there was almost no furnishings in the empty hall. Four thick pillars, countless blue-gray curtains were hanging around, floating slightly in the wind.

In front of the hall, there is a low table with a huge screen behind it, which seems to be a map of the country and the country.

Pei Yuanhao sat behind the table.

I walked over slowly.

"His Majesty."

My voice was not very high, but it was extremely clear that echoing in this empty hall.

He looked at me, his voice seemed very calm, even a little calm, echoing in the hall: "You are here."

"yes."

"Even the clothes have been changed."

"yes."

"Are you that impatient?"

I listened to his voice and was still calm, so I said softly: "Since I have explained it clearly, I naturally hope that the faster the better."

“…”

He was quiet for a while and said softly: "The faster the better..."

“…”

"You want to leave me immediately, right?"

I closed my mouth.

He looked at me and said slowly, "At this time, can't I ask you for a truth?"

"..." I was silent for a while and said, "I want to leave earlier."

Hearing this sentence, he seemed to chuckle, nodded again, and then said, "Yan Qingying, what I hope most in my life is to get your honesty."

“…”

"But I am afraid, if you start to be honest, you will not even be perfunctory."

“…”

This sentence made my eyebrows frown slightly. Before I could say anything, he waved his hand at me: "Sit."

My shoulders twitched slightly.

He asked me to sit?

What to do when you sit down?

Looking back on the past, the feeling of uneasiness once again surged into my heart.

Under the tall stone steps of Chengming Palace, the long and narrow corridor leads directly to the palace gate. If he really responds to me, he will give me a break and just one sentence, I can turn around and leave.

But he asked me to sit.

Seeing me standing there, he said, "Why, I'm afraid?"

“…”

Fear, can't say.

When people reach this point, there is actually nothing scary.

Because this time, I really have nothing to lose.

The only thing I am afraid of is that I have reached this time and cannot leave.

I was silent for a while and said, "I still want to leave like this."

He lowered his head, didn't look at me, and said in a deep voice: "But you should know that without my agreement, you can't get out even if you are only one step away from the palace gate."

“…”

"sit."

I took a deep breath, walked forward slowly, and knelt in front of him.

The two of them calmly met each other. He looked at me for a while, then waved his hand gently.

A servant came over from the side and brought a tray.

I narrowed my eyes slightly and barely saw the outline of the thing above.

It seems to be two wine glasses.

When the servant put the things on the table in front of us, he could indeed smell a clear smell of wine.

He wants to give me a drink again?

I frowned slightly, looked up at him - was it the last time, the trick in Jixiang Village?

How could a person like him, who has a high opinion of himself, play the same trick for me for the second time?

At my somewhat puzzled look, he seemed to see through what I was thinking and said calmly: "You can rest assured that one of these two glasses of wine is indeed added to one, but it is not what you think."

Without having time to breathe a sigh of relief, I just asked, "What is that?"

He said: "Put the intestinal poison."

These four words echoed in this empty hall, as if countless people were talking about these four words in my ears—

Piercing intestinal poison.

Piercing intestinal poison!

I sat quietly, not even my eyelashes trembled.

After a while, I whispered: "Which glass does Your Majesty want me to drink?"

Pei Yuanhao looked at me and said slowly: "You choose."

"select?"

"Yes, you choose."

He put his hands on the table. I wondered if he was slightly pressing, but I felt that the table was trembling a little when he pinched it.

But his voice was quite calm, but at this moment, he felt a little dumb.

"There are one glasses of wine, one glass, and one glass, one glass, it is highly poisonous."

“…”

"You choose."

“…”

I lowered my head to the two wine glasses. Although I couldn't see them completely clearly, I probably thought about it. These two were exactly the same. The wine in the cup was also clear and sweet, with an amber light.

With the human eye, there is no difference at all.

However, since he asked someone to take it out, he naturally knew which glass was a good wine and which glass was poison.

so--

I raised my head and looked at him: "What if I choose the right choice?"

"If you choose the right choice and drink that glass of wine, I will stand here and watch you leave the palace."

I was silent for a moment and said, "Then, if I choose the wrong one-"

He did not answer my words immediately, but was silent for a moment before saying in a deep voice: "If you choose the wrong one, don't leave."

“…”

"Stay here and spend your life with me."

Speaking of this, his voice was also soft and soft, and he said, "You know, today, there is not much I can ask for."

“…”

"Qingying, I don't want you to do anything, I need to do anything."

“…”

"You just need to—just stay."

“…”

"Stay here and spend your life with me."

I lowered my head and listened to his words echoing in the hall, but my eyes were always looking at the two glasses of wine. After a while, I smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, just don't want me to leave?"

“…”

"Your Majesty still refuses to let go."
