Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child: Chapter 669 Selfishness
Chapter 669 Selfishness
When Yu Youyou woke up, she found herself lying on a strange bed.
She quickly got up, looked around, and saw a familiar figure sitting at the table.
The window was half open, the evening breeze was blowing in, and the candles flickered gently.
The man was looking down at the tree, raised his head after hearing the movement, and met the eyes of you.
Yu curled up and jumped out of bed: "Shen Zhuo? Why are you here?"
Shen Zhuo was wearing a light blue gown, covered with a white crane-patterned feather cloak, with a face like a crown jade, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and he was holding the posture of a gentleman.
"Yiaoyou, you're awake."
Yu Niaoyou's face was full of vigilance: "You tied me here? What's your purpose?"
Shen Zhuo put down his book, and lightly patted the seat next to him: "Come and sit for a while, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I want to have a good chat with you."
Yu Niaoyou ignored him.
She walked quickly towards the door, trying to escape.
But the door was locked from the outside, and it couldn't be opened no matter what.
Yu Niaoyou was angry and impatient, but her rationality made her calm down.
The sky outside the window is still dark, and the night sky illuminated by lanterns can still be seen in the distance, which means that they should still be in Xingning City.
When Xiao Juan and Tang Guixi learned that she was missing, they must immediately block the city gates and conduct a city-wide search.
As long as they go door to door, they will find this place sooner or later.
What she needs to do now is to keep Shen Zhuo steady, and don't let him jump over the wall in a hurry and make any outrageous actions.
Shen Zhuo looked at her quietly, taking in all the changes in her expression.
Seeing that she no longer pulls the door, she knows that she has figured it out.
Shen Zhuo said again: "Come and sit down."
Yu Niaoyou hesitated for a moment, and finally walked over honestly.
She sat down opposite Shen Zhuo.
Shen Zhuo poured a cup of hot tea and put it in front of her.
"Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"
Yu Niaoyou doesn't have the appetite to eat right now? What's more, she was worried that Shen Zhuo would put medicine in the food, and she didn't dare to eat what he gave.
She said with a sullen face, "I'm not hungry."
Shen Zhuo picked up the book he hadn't finished reading just now: "I've read this "Seven Treasures" many times, and I've been waiting for the second volume. I wonder when you can draw it?"
Yu Niaoyou just saw that he was reading seriously, and thought he was looking at some rare classics, but he didn't expect that he was reading a picture book.
She pursed her lower lip: "You are the king of a country, you shouldn't read such low-level books."
Shen Zhuo smiled: "A book is a book. It's just human prejudice to say whether it's in the world or not. As long as I like it, it's the best book in the world, and so are people."
This is a pun.
Yu Niaoyou didn't answer, and said bluntly: "This is Xingning City, the territory of Dongtang. If you sneak into this place as the Emperor of Wild Goose, aren't you afraid of losing your life here?"
Shen Zhuo lightly stroked the pages of the book: "I have left an edict before I set off. If I fail to return within ten days, the half a million soldiers stationed at the border of Dayan will invade Eastern Tang."
Yu Niao couldn't help clenching her hands tightly, pretending to be relaxed: "Don't you just fool me."
Shen Zhuo said calmly.
"A year ago, Liaodong County announced that it would rebel against Dayan and change its name to Dongtang. At that time, I wanted to send troops to take back Liaodong, but due to some objective reasons, I couldn't put it into practice. Now I have cleared away the stumbling blocks that would hinder me. Now, I have prepared my soldiers and horses, just waiting for the battle."
Yu Niaoyou: "Since you have decided to go to war, why do you take the risk of coming here to find me?"
Shen Zhuo's eyes lingered on her: "I want you to come with me."
Yu Niao twitched the corner of her mouth and said mockingly, "Are you dreaming?"
Shen Zhuo gently put down the book: "This place will soon be full of flames of war. You really don't have to stay here to suffer. As long as you come with me, I promise to let you live the same free life as you did when you were a child."
Yu Youyou seemed to have heard some funny joke.
"Freedom? You take me back, isn't it like raising a canary bird, holding me firmly in the palm of your hand? Why bother to coax me with nonsense that even three-year-olds won't believe?"
Shen Zhuo said seriously: "I'm not coaxing you. As long as it's what you want, I will try my best to satisfy you. Did you want to seek justice for your parents? I have already done it for you."
Yu Niaoyou: "The one who helped me do it is Ah Juan, not you!"
Shen Zhuo: "But if I didn't release the water, how could he sneak into the palace so smoothly? I only did it for your sake."
Yu Niao endured it again and again, but she still couldn't hold it back, and opened her mouth to mock.
"You can pull it down!
You are clearly doing it for yourself!
At the beginning, the death of your mother, concubine and fellow brothers was inseparable from your father and emperor,
Your father was sent to the monastery since you were a child, and you lived a life that was even poorer than ordinary people.
As a prince, you have never enjoyed the preferential treatment of being a prince for so many years.
I don't believe you don't have resentment in your heart!
Now that your father is dead, not only can you get revenge, but you can also ascend to the throne logically.
You are doing it for your own selfishness, don't use me as a cover! "
After hearing her finish speaking, instead of being angry, Shen Zhuo laughed.
"As expected of you, you guessed so accurately, I really did hide my selfish intentions.
Since I was a child, my mother has taught me strictly, so that I must work hard.
Because I represent not only myself, but also the entire Wen family.
No matter what I do, I think more than others.
This is my responsibility and my destiny. "
Yu Niaoyou: "In this case, you should continue to fulfill your destiny and don't come to me again."
Shen Zhuo sighed softly: "Niaoyao, that position is too high, and the high place is extremely cold, I hope to have you by my side."
Yu Niaoyou can see that this person is just greedy. Before he became the emperor, he only wanted to seize the throne. Now that he has finally ascended to the rank of Ninth Five, he feels that this position is too cold, and he wants to have someone by his side for a long time. accompany.
Co-authoring all the good things in the world has to be done by him alone.
Yu Niaoyou: "What if I don't agree?"
Shen Zhuo: "Then I will personally lead the troops to attack Dongtang. When Dongtang is recovered, you still have to return to my side."
He was calm and relaxed, as if he had everything in his hands.
Yu Youyou looked at her steadily, thinking of something, suddenly slowed down her tone.
"Brother Junzhi."
Having not heard this title for a long time, Shen Zhuo couldn't help being startled.
Immediately, he showed joy: "You are finally willing to call me brother Junzhi again."
Yu Niaoyou: "Do you still remember why you came to my house when you were a child?"
Talking about the past, Shen Zhuo's eyes were full of nostalgia: "Mr. Feng has both ability and political integrity, and he is a well-known literary master in the southwest area. My mother quietly sent me to Bashu, and asked me to worship under Mr. Feng's door. In order to learn from Mr. Feng the talent of managing the world, I also met you there."
