"When did you find out?" This sentence is not a denial. In fact, even if any outsider stands here and hears Leng Yiyao's words, he will understand that she is acquiescing to one thing in disguise - her Her identity is indeed not what outsiders see. She is a merchant's young daughter who came to the imperial capital by chance.
When Lu Chen heard her words, it was as if his whole body was suddenly emptied out. For a long time, he stared dully at the bed beam above his head.
If, at the beginning, he was still taking chances, now, he has completely given up the idea.
The storm has arrived, the thunder and lightning struck the sky, the storm has come!
In the air, the humid atmosphere became more and more solemn.
His breathing became slower and slower, and the pain that seemed to tear his chest apart seemed to come back again.
However, this time, he gritted his teeth and endured it, as if he didn't want to show any weakness in front of her.
Just when Leng Yiyao thought he wouldn't speak again, his eyes suddenly opened.
Looking steadily into the distance, there was a window. Outside the window, rumbling thunder and lightning accompanied by heavy rain penetrated the entire palace. "Do you still remember why I appeared in D City?"
It's obviously not yet a year, but looking back, it seems like years have passed.
Leng Yiyao raised her eyebrows, knowing that he was asking about the first time she met him in the top hotel in D City.
At that time, the situation was very delicate.
She was led by Lu Chen through the hotel corridor and passed by him. But he waited outside for so long that he couldn't even knock on the door of Hemo's room.
At that time, as the first heir to the empire, one can imagine his anger and jealousy towards her.
After all, Hemer made it clear that she would rather see her, a little merchant's daughter, than open the door to see him. For the eldest prince who held his own identity, it was a slap in the face until his face was so swollen that he couldn't even see.
In the final analysis, the reason why he appeared there was that he had something to ask for.
Almost all the subjects in the entire empire suspected that he had planned to kill the beloved and famous His Highness Lu Ming because he wanted to remove the stumbling block for him to inherit the throne.
Thinking along this line of thought, Leng Yiyao got a taste of it.
She lowered her head and looked quietly at Lu Chen, who was lost in thought.
When she was reborn, the man she saw for the first time, bathed in the night, had magical powers, was Lu Ming.
And the reason why Lu Ming appeared in the desert oasis near D City... It's because he has to clean up the mess for the royal family.
To put it more bluntly, although Lu Chen was the one who caused the scandal, it involved the royal family's reputation. As a prince, on the one hand, he did not want the scandal of the royal family to be exposed and make it known to the whole world, and he would lose face; on the other hand, in the In everyone's eyes, the old emperor was biased towards Lu Chen to the point of being unprincipled. If he stood idly by and watched, he might end up getting angry.
Therefore, in that dark night, Lu Ming actually came to silence Lu Chen.
Because Lu Chen didn't know what hit his brain at that time, he was determined to use a living sacrifice to sacrifice. Moreover, he still believed in those ancient oriental books and did not know where the "news" came from. He actually firmly believed that as long as ninety-nine and eighty-one noble boys and girls were sacrificed to God alive, the country's oil resources could be ensured. will dry up.
His heart was kind, and he was considering the country's most important oil resources, but his brain was a bit kicked by a donkey. He actually collected eighty-one boys and girls with extraordinary status from everywhere.
And her predecessor, unfortunately, happened to be one of them. The moment she woke up, twenty-nine dead bodies were already lying around her, and the fifty-one boys and girls before had already been sacrificed alive.
She was stabbed all over her abdomen, and her internal organs almost slipped out. If he hadn't been strong enough, he might have fallen into the underworld right after he was reborn.
Of course, the condition for her survival is to eliminate future troubles and ensure that all those who witnessed her fraud must pass without leaving a trace...
This includes not only the bejeweled His Highness Lu Ming, but also all the royal guards accompanying him.
only…
It had been so long since this incident, and Lu Chen had never mentioned it, she almost looked at it.
Thinking of this, she suddenly leaned forward, lowered her head to look into his eyes, and smiled slightly: "You had the corpses of the eighty-one boys and girls removed one by one?"
The original requirements for living sacrifices were too harsh, after all, they were boys and girls of extraordinary origins.
The sudden disappearance of so many children of nobles and aristocratic families was so eye-catching that before he had time to offer sacrifices, he was afraid that the old emperor would have his head broken. So who can you expect to be born extraordinary? That’s huge wealth!
Despite their meager talents, the Leng family can be considered one of the richest families in D city.
Therefore, she was chosen as a sacrifice, and he naturally had the list of eighty-one people in his hand.
"When Lu Ming died, I was almost forced into a desperate situation. I would not let go of any clues." What's more, his brother's death was too disgraceful. He was stabbed in the heart, with a sharp weapon going straight into his heart. Next to him were various broken arms and limbs, lying on his back with eyes open.
Every time he thought of that scene, his heart felt cold.
However, at that time, he was still too stupid, and it was far inferior to later experiencing many conspiracies and calculations and learning to use his brain to think about everything.
At that time, he only knew that she was the only lucky survivor, and more likely the only witness that night, proving that Lu Ming's death that night was not his doing at all.
How stupid he must be to be so foolish and self-righteous that he goes to find her, the real culprit, to be his witness.
However, I was still blind at the time, so I thought she was just a businesswoman with no background, and she could just send some people to "invite" her casually.
It happened that night, she approached the cafe.
There, there was a person who had retreated thousands of miles away, but had always left a shadow in his heart for so many years—that M, the royal illegitimate son who was unknown to outsiders.
Is it destiny
M, who never mind other people's business, actually takes action for her.
Then, all the men in black he sent came back defeated.
At that time, he just thought that she was very lucky and had good skills.
But when he really saw her magical tricks, experienced the betrayal of her relatives, and witnessed her intimidation in the military world, he suddenly looked back and realized how blind he must have been to think that she was really Is she just a businesswoman
She was obviously the least favored one in the family, but compared to her sister, Pearl and Anchen, who were known throughout the empire, gained more and more interest, and even became the first person who could influence Hemo's emotions...
At that point, if he didn't have the slightest suspicion, I'm afraid there really would be no one more stupid than him...
He suddenly raised his head and stared at her: "Tell me the truth!"
the truth
Leng Yiyao looked at him with pity.
Her truth is too complicated, what should she tell him
Tell him that she is not from this world at all, and all he sees is a remnant soul. Tell him that he is the real culprit who killed her body! If it weren't for him, "Leng Yiyao" wouldn't have disappeared, and she wouldn't have wandered into this unknown continent
