"Father, righteous sister Qin Wulian has arrived, and is now waiting in the movie theater."
The second prince, Su Tan, still looked so gentle.
And Yang Zimu, the "retainer" he brought behind, stood behind him with a low brow and pleasing eyebrows, and did his job as a minister without saying a word.
Today's imperial emperor's eldest son, Su Zheng, had already been punished by the emperor to go to Taixue for further study because of his own stupid behavior a few days ago.
The imperial princess Su Tong had already left with Su Mu.
At this moment, it seemed that only the second prince Su Tan, who was able to stand in the palace and continue to pretend, was left with the ambitious second prince.
"You go and wait first, and the widow will pass."
A cold voice sounded from under the old face of the imperial emperor.
Su Tan was not surprised when he heard this. In his eyes, his father had a weird personality, so instead of making a redundant response, he directly took Yang Zimu to the shadow painting hall and waited.
However, when Su Tan had just left, in the empty hall, a certain internal officer who was hardly noticed appeared quietly beside the imperial emperor.
And at this moment, the content of his reply made the imperial emperor, who had pretended to be indifferent, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth after all:
"Two insects followed in, but the other party’s concealment methods were quite good. I would not be able to recognize them if I didn’t make direct contact. Moreover, the outer palace was originally not tightly guarded. They dared not follow up."
"So instead of moving them, I let them go deeper. As long as they are confirmed in the inner palace, they will have no way to escape."
The internal official who responded at this moment was the head internal official who went to pick up Qin Wulian into the palace, and it was even... the internal official who pointed out the dragon hotbed for Su Mu that day!
Undoubtedly, the imperial emperor had already noticed Qin Wudi's suggestion to Su Mu.
As for Qin Wulian's initiative to contact the Papal State, the Empire also intercepted the exact information.
Therefore, Qin Wulian entered the palace at the right time, not only because of the imperial emperor's whim, but rather a decision made after waiting for the "rescuer" to appear.
"It seems that I use that broken sword as a bait, and it can indeed attract good things."
The imperial emperor raised his head and looked at the endless night sky outside the temple. It seemed that after his gaze had gone through the darkness, he had already seen the two small and sneaky shadows.
So the corner of the imperial emperor's mouth finally hung up with a hint of mocking smile.
…
"What is a movie?"
On a not-so-obtrusive roof ridge, two undetectable figures were lying low in the moon shadow, silently looking at the shadow painting hall in front of them.
After some careful searching, Su Mu and Maggie had clearly discovered where Qin Wulian was.
However, Su Mu was particularly interested in the reason why the emperor invited Qin Wulian into the palace.
However, what is even more strange is that Maggie did not have any sense of rejection for such boring questions as Su Mu that have nothing to do with the present. Instead, she replied naturally:
"It was the founding emperor who invented something to use magic to record certain images and sounds for entertainment. It's just that, after all, movies and pictures need to be released by mages of rank 6 and above, so on the whole continent, except for the Longtuo Empire Outside of the royal family, no one else can enjoy this extravagant entertainment."
Su Mu was taken aback when he heard this, and seemed to have never expected:
The so-called movie... is basically a movie presented by magic!
In order to make himself happier in this world, a certain self in the past came up with such an extravagant entertainment method, directly using the sixth-order Chinese character master as a projector.
Power is indeed something that can corrode people's hearts. Su Mu is simply unimaginable. In his own place, where human beings are born equal, it is almost an inherent concept that he would actually make such actions not to treat others as human beings.
However, compared to Su Mu's keen interest in film and painting, Maggie was obviously more interested in Su Mu himself.
After she finished explaining, Maggie suddenly asked:
"So... Do you prefer the imperial princess who is not married to you, or your particularly bright-eyed academy tutor?"
Su Mu was stunned when he heard the words, and never expected that Maggie, as the saint of the Papal Kingdom, would also be such a gossip.
Therefore, the current Su Mu did not intend to answer this question, and remained silent by the cornice, trying to use silence to dispel this strange question.
However, Maggie at this time was obviously not prepared to give Su Mu a chance to evade.
Even her next sentence made Su Mu have to face this question that she didn't want to answer:
"This is the first of the three questions. I just want to give it a try. Do you have the courage to strictly fulfill the three questions you promised me?"
…
Facing Maggie next to her, she directly upgraded the matter to the content of the agreement between the two.
Su Mu, who was in a dilemma, had no choice but to face the matter honestly.
"I didn't think about it, but in fact, I have already made a decision!"
This question itself was actually a question that had been held in Su Mu's heart for a long time. At this time, under Maggie's step by step, Su Mu had some frank courage.
However, Su Mu's words, "I didn't think about it well" and "I have chosen", are obviously contradictory things.
So Maggie raised her eyebrows lightly, expressing direct doubts.
Su Mu saw this and took a deep breath. With this messy mood that had been entangled in his heart for a long time, Su Mu really couldn't do anything to other people at will.
At this time, since Maggie was trying to suppress people in exchange, Su Mu was more sincere and sincere:
"I used to have a pair of star-like eyes, and thought that was what I was after. But in the days that followed, a stubborn girl who was also worth cherishing appeared beside me. Whether it is the former or the latter Those are things that can make your heart throb."
"But it is precisely because both are so brilliant, and they are both so worthy of one's wholehearted care. So I obviously can't accept it, and at the same time let myself accept two completely different loves. This is what I said. First, I still haven’t figured out how to face my heart.”
Su Mu's low and faint voice can only be heard by Maggie who is closest to him.
In such a lonely night, Su Mu's whispered words obviously also contained a breath different from this continent.
"But now it seems that I have actually made a choice, or... I have to make a choice!"
After Su Mu said this, he once again remembered the shallow kiss from Su Tong before he jumped down from the featherboat. After all, his mood was no longer so heavy.
Before Su Mu came to this world, after all, he was just a sophomore in high school.
So regarding love, Su Mu actually has no experience either.
Although the memory of those eyes is still an indelible beauty in Su Mu's heart, since he has reached this point, Su Mu still has to make a choice after all.
"My fiancee is Su Tong, so the person I will cherish with all my strength can only be my fiancee Su Tong. No matter what throbbing I have ever had, I can't change the final outcome."
Su Mu's remarks did not know whether he was persuading himself or Maggie.
In short, since the moment Su Mu jumped off the featherboat, he had already made the final decision.
Since you always want to give up one of the good things, at least you can't let Su Tong, who has left his hometown, face it alone, so Su Mu's final choice can only be this.
The crimson blood moon casts a pink and tender brilliance once again.
According to the bitter sweetness in Su Mu's mouth, Su Mu and Su Mu in the moon shadow were once again buried deeply.
In the film and painting hall, the imperial emperor has personally arrived, and under the service of a kind of internal officials, the palace mages have already begun the screening of the film and painting.
Although the inner palace of the Chi Forbidden City is undoubtedly the most concentrated place of power in the entire empire.
However, under the permeating atmosphere of power, the content of the "movie" shown in the film nowadays is instead a slightly pleasing folklore love legend.
"It seems that the reason why the imperial emperor chose this time to summon Qin Wulian into the palace was obviously because he wanted to use the long screening of the movie to put Qin Wulian in the palace directly."
Very abruptly, after asking Su Mu's heart in an extraordinarily gossip, Maggie turned her own words and suddenly talked about the real purpose of the imperial emperor.
After hearing the words, Su Mu immediately followed Maggie's jumping thinking, and quickly added:
"The time I agreed with Qin Wudi is after midnight tonight. So if the Imperial Emperor does not intend to let Qin Wulian leave the inner palace tonight, I am afraid we will have to... take Qin Wulian and escape sneakily!" ()
