"Your Excellency Chen Rui," Christina said lightly, "I have been entrusted with a few words that I need to convey to you alone. I wonder if it is convenient?"
Before Chen Rui opened his mouth, he felt his arm being pinched hard, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "If I say, is it inconvenient?"
Christina was silent for a moment: "Then, I was the one who was abrupt, please forgive me for disturbing you, and I will leave now."
"Wait a minute." It was Isabella who spoke. When Christina was saying goodbye just now, she keenly felt the man's emotional fluctuations, even though such fluctuations were quickly hidden. My aunt is a smart woman who knows when to be unreasonable and when to be reasonable.
"It looks like there's something important, Chen Rui, just go and listen, don't let a lady go all the way for nothing." The aunt smiled softly: "However, Miss Christina... next time When you want to ask someone, you should be more polite and low-key, no man dares to ask for a woman who is too self-righteous."
Chen Rui was a little ashamed. Auntie is standing up and talking without back pain. That Mrs. Mandala was much more arrogant and proud than Christina now.
"Thank you for your suggestion." Christina still had a calm expression and tone, clearly ignoring it.
My aunt snorted coldly, then gave Chen Rui a sneaky twist, and came to Delia, without even looking at Christina, she turned and walked away while holding the niece and daughter-in-law's hand.
"Your Excellency Chen Rui really has no shortage of women, and they are excellent women." Christina looked at Isabella's back and said calmly. She seemed to have the upper hand just now, but she didn't know it in her heart. Isabella also knew that they felt like they had competed with each other, but objectively speaking, it was a tie.
Chen Rui laughed, and Christina walked forward slowly: "My shopping trip was only halfway through just now, can I continue now? I am usually very busy, and I don't remember the last time I really went shopping."
"Oh." Chen Rui didn't know what Christina's real intention was, so he had to use Luo La's moves to vaguely respond.
Next... It's really shopping, pure shopping.
"What's this? It's beautiful." Christina picked up something from the stall.
"Good luck knots are said to bring special luck." Chen Rui didn't give the street vendor a chance to sell them, and explained directly: "Actually, they are made of a special kind of plant meridian, which has no real value... Uh, fifteen knots White crystal coin, buy it now, can you sell it or not?"
The second half of the sentence was addressed to the peddler. It could be seen that Christina liked this exquisite gadget very much. After some bargaining, the deal was sold for 18 white crystal coins. Christina watched Chen Rui bargain with interest, and then happily accepted the gift.
After this episode, the stalemate atmosphere seemed to be a lot easier. Chen Rui took Christina to taste the snacks of Dark Moon, bought a few small gifts, and walked all the way to the Red Fruit Hotel.
Hongguo Hotel is one of the largest hotels in Dark Moon, and its grade is relatively high. Chen Rui followed Christina into the VIP room No. 1, which is actually a suite with a living room and bedroom, as well as "high-end facilities" such as magic TV. This made Chen Rui inexplicably think of the word "open room", and his heart beat suddenly a little faster.
"I haven't relaxed like this for a long time. This feeling is very good." Christina motioned him to sit down: "Thank you, and your little gift."
"Miss, you are welcome."
Christina's tone changed: "Then, let's get down to business."
Chen Rui's thoughts changed rapidly, and he replied, "En."
Christina said calmly: "I want to know, is everything possible to change as long as there are enough chips?"
This question made Chen Rui guess her intentions: "There are no absolutes in the world, but it also depends on what is 'changed'."
"Then, you should understand what I mean, can you give me a definite answer? Chips are not a problem."
Chen Rui pondered for a moment, and then gave the answer: "Some things cannot be placed on the trading balance, and naturally they cannot be measured with chips."
Christina fell silent, and after a while, she slowly took off her veil: "I only ask you once, can I be the reason to change you?"
When Chen Rui saw that long-lost beautiful face, his heart was shocked: "Miss, you..."
"I've met you so frankly," Christina sighed, "You don't have to play any tricks of disguise anymore, maybe you can deceive the whole devil world, but you can't hide it from a woman's intuition, not to mention you are not without flaws , This is exactly the reason why I personally came to Dark Moon this time."
There was a bang in Chen Rui's mind, and it was suddenly in a mess. Three words came to mind: I'm out of luck.
He had imagined many times that he would appear in front of Catherine one day, and in her unexpected eyes, domineeringly declare "you are mine", but the fact is the other way around, the Queen came to his In front of him, he asked domineeringly: "Would you like to be my person?"
Catherine dressed herself up and came here. She must have exposed the identity of "Chen Rui" a long time ago. Even if Agulie has not been exposed, at least she can equate human beings with the master toolmaker who is proficient in the three lines.
Chen Rui smiled wryly: "Catherine, I..."
The most beautiful woman in the devil world, the most wise man, and the most powerful empress looked at him quietly, with expectations flowing in her quiet and beautiful black eyes: "Can you give me the answer?"
Not an order, not a requirement, just an expectation, what a woman expects from a man.
It was the first time for Chen Rui to see Catherine's expression like this, and his heart became hot, and the words "I promise" almost blurted out. After taking a deep breath, he finally calmed down.
"I'm surprised that you would propose such a bargaining chip. That's right, it's a bargaining chip." Chen Rui stared into Catherine's eyes, "Why did you make such a change? Or was it a sacrifice?"
When Catherine heard that her condition was classified as a "chip", she suddenly felt a little annoyed in her heart, and her tone was still very flat: "If you ask this knowingly, do you want to hear praise from me? Well then. Pull from the dark moon Inverting Obsidian, until Xia Lightning ascended the throne, and then turned our country's coercion into cooperation, until now the development and growth of terror speed, in this, you should know how much effort you have put in, newspapers, magic TV, princess series, rice wine , concerts... These things are all planned by you, if this continues, within ten years, the Fallen Angel Empire will become the most terrifying empire in the Demon Realm, and the threat you bring is too great."
"Is this the reason? To make Her Majesty the Empress willing to sacrifice herself?" Chen Rui suddenly felt angry, and he didn't hide his anger.
Seeing Chen Rui's anger, Catherine inexplicably felt a lot more comfortable, and shook her head slightly: "Not only that, but also because... the stability of the empire requires a husband, and more importantly, an heir to the throne."
"Really?" Chen Rui sneered, "Even if it's marriage and body, it's for the empire? You really are a respectable queen."
"From the moment I put on the crown, many things are doomed. The emperor has not only the supreme power, but also the highest responsibility." Catherine looked directly at Chen Rui, "You may not have this point." I have a deep understanding, but your Queen Xia will definitely have a real understanding. I don't know what the relationship between her and Agulie is, and I don't know the relationship between you and Agulie. I can be sure that even if It is her marriage partner, and the range of choices she can choose is also very small. She chose Agulie, which should be the best choice within the range. In other words, she paid a considerable price for it. So, I came to Dark Moon today ,do you understand?"
Chen Rui asked back: "I'm just a human being, is it worth it?"
"Your value far exceeds the definition of race. Even if you don't have Artifact Art, Black Potion, or any special abilities, your talent is still the best in the world. With your help, I believe that the Shadow Empire will produce a qualitative change." Leap, and even unify the demon world. For the benefit of the empire, I think it's worth it, and... I don't hate you."
A vein popped up in Chen Rui's forehead: You wouldn't throw away the interests of that empire, just leave the last sentence, and just say you like it
Catherine seemed to see through his mind: "I don't want to hide it, if it wasn't for the empire, Catherine. Asmodeus wouldn't come to you like this, if you agree, you can become my only husband; if you can Instigate rebellion against the Dark Moon Territory, then Athena will become the number one general of the Shadow Empire, even, I don't mind her or other women's existence."
If someone heard Catherine's words nearby, they would definitely think that their auditory system was down. The number one beauty in the devil world, the number one wise man, and Her Majesty the Empress of the Shadow Empire would actually say such things to a human being. Conditions come!
"What an attractive condition. I thought of a newsletter advertisement. You only need to add a few tens of yuan to get some kind of preferential package." Chen Rui smiled, "I admit, I really want you very much, very much." I know that you have a place for me in your heart, and it is useless for you to deny it, because we have experienced the battle in Crystal Valley together, and I still remember that wonderful kiss."
Seeing Chen Rui's recollection, Catherine's composure and tranquility finally began to waver, and she felt the urge to punch her. But she also admitted in her heart that from the moment this man ruined her heart for her, she His heart has been indelibly branded with his shadow, and he once thought that he was going to die, so he confessed his heart without concealing it, but who knew that this bastard was a liar, and actually escaped by feigning death after tricking her into kissing her.
If your attachment is to protect everyone, then my current attachment is just to protect you.
This sentence appeared in the dream more than once, apart from the empire, he was indeed the only man she had ever been attracted to.
Catherine tried her best to control her emotional fluctuations, and said coldly: "So, you refused? Do you think I will leave such a huge threat to the empire?"
