"Miss, please sit." He did not put on the airs he had expected, nor did he show any indifference or excessive enthusiasm from seeing all kinds of goals. However, it was precisely this casual sentence that made Shui Ruo feel at ease. Shui Yuehan sat across from the man, feeling a little nervous. She was still a little afraid of the crown prince. This was because Emperor Ye Xiu had once told her that her dream was very similar to the crown prince's. It was not by chance that the crown prince called her over. The reason he rescued her from the Prince's Mansion should have been due to his calculations. And the purpose … Although this thought was a bit shameless, he might want her to stay behind. Even for his own dream.
If a man wanted to pursue his own dream, it would be very crazy, especially when he was sure that the dream could become a reality. The Crown Prince was an existence that was below and above everyone else, yet he couldn't even touch the person he liked in his dreams. To him, this was a kind of suffering. So... It was not impossible to know what she would do when she looked like the person in his dream.
Thinking of this, Shui Long became somewhat worried. Should she speak first, or should she continue to be silent?
However, Shui Yuehan's anguish did not last for long because Night Emperor Yan asked, "Has Miss eaten yet?"
Night Emperor Yan placed the book down, looked at the water and asked.
Shui Ruo heard this and said, "I've already eaten."
"Liar." The man looked at Shui Ruo and said decisively. Then, under Shui Long's astonished expression, he ordered the people outside, "Come, let's have a meal."
Did this person not listen to others and think for others!? Shui Long looked in disbelief at the person who suddenly exposed her lie, and also the person who called her over, the corner of his mouth twitched.
"The girl doesn't have to lie to me, because I won't hurt her." Seeing Shui Long's ugly expression right now, Night Emperor Yan spoke up.
No harm? Heh! This was just listening to him speak. In this world, there was no one who could not truly hurt others. That was because they might have already caused irreparable damage to others by accident.
What's more, this person was the crown prince. Being in a high position, how much life did he hold in his hands? Won't it hurt? If she believed his words, it would be akin to handing her life over to a death god.
"Miss, I believe you should know the reason why I brought you here today, right?" The Crown Prince looked at Shui Long and spoke bluntly.
"Crown Prince, please enlighten me." Water frowned.
"I hope the girl will marry me."
"I refuse." Shui answered slowly and quickly, without even thinking about it. The man was not angry. He only said, "If that's the case, then forget it. However, right now, it is very dangerous outside. The Emperor knows that this matter is related to you, and that Night Emperor is currently unable to protect himself. Thus, I hope that you can stay in the manor and be a guest.
The Crown Prince looked at Shui Ruo and promised.
He had not expected the crown prince to use such a method to make him stay. For a time, water flowed freely, and he was truly touched. After all, this person was no ordinary person. He was the crown prince of a country and was the future ruler. However, this person actually humbly requested for her help. She couldn't help but agree.
Shui slowly stood up, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me, I will definitely repay Your Highness."
"Ha!" There's no need for repayment, as long as you can stay here. Rest assured, this prince will not allow anyone to disturb you, and will not restrict your freedom. In the future, you will be my esteemed guest in this mansion. " Night Emperor Yan solemnly said. Shui Long listened and expressed his thanks again: "I really don't know how to thank you for your kindness. How about this, under the condition that you don't violate my personal creed, I'm willing to agree to three conditions, even if it means that I have to go through fire and water."
"In that case, I accept the lady's good intentions." On Night Emperor Yan's face, Luoluo revealed a gentle smile. Outsiders had never seen it before. Not to mention an outsider, even Shangguan Yun had never seen such a gentle expression from the Crown Prince's wife.
In this world, everyone's nature was gentle. The reason why they were usually tyrannical or indifferent was simply because they didn't meet anyone that he truly cared about. If he met her, he would be honest and kind.
It was as if the Crown Prince was looking at Shui Yuehan in a gentle manner. It was only when the food arrived that Shui Yuehan's embarrassment was resolved.
"Your Highness, please have a meal." The waiter placed the food on the table and left without raising his head. When everyone had left, Shui Yun smiled playfully: "These people …. Looks like I'm afraid of you. "
Hearing that, Ye Huangyan chuckled and said, "Is there? What they are afraid of is only this crown prince's reputation. "
"The reputation of the outside world? Don't the servants around the crown prince know what kind of person the crown prince is? " Shui Ruo was somewhat surprised.
"What does young lady think of this crown prince?" The man looked at the water and smiled playfully. Shui Long listened and thought for a moment. Then, he said, "Good person."
"Good people?" Hearing Shui Long's words, Night Emperor laughed softly, "Haha, you're the first one to say that."
"Is it that funny?" The water added a piece of meat and asked.
Of course." Night Emperor Yan replied, as if it was a matter of course. He wasn't lying, you know. But, he really wasn't a good person. From his royal father, brothers, down to his princess consort, and his servants, not a single one of them thought that he was a good person. In their eyes, he was nothing more than a brutal, unpredictable person. The reason why they followed him was because they felt that he could achieve great things. Those who opposed him despised his character.
The word 'good' was simply too far away from him. Even he didn't think that he was a good person. As the crown prince, his hands were stained with the blood of countless people. For himself, he had ruined their happiness. Can such a person also be called a good person?
"The good people that Your Highness spoke of should be different from what I thought." Shui Ruo looked at the crown prince and said indifferently.
"Oh? "What's the difference?" The man looked at Shui Long playfully and asked curiously.
"The good people that Your Highness spoke of were the good people in the eyes of the world, but how many people in this world can truly do that?" That kind of person was a chivalrous expert, a benevolent person. However, for normal players, that goal was too far away. The definition of a good person is not complete. Just like how, while His Highness treats me well, I feel that His Highness is a good person, but at the same time, there are also people who feel that you are a bad person. Thus, as long as I feel that Your Highness is a good person, then at this moment, Your Highness is truly a good person. "
Water said slowly as he added another piece of meat.
When the man heard these words, he laughed. "What a haughty and willful way to put it. "But, it's very interesting." And indeed, just as she had thought. He didn't want to be a good person in anyone's eyes, but she was the only one he wanted her to like.
"Your Highness, I've finished eating." Shui Long put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at the crown prince, hesitating to speak. Night Emperor Yan naturally knew what she was thinking. After all, the people from the Shui family were still imprisoned.
"Be at ease, I will help you. After all, what happened this time was not because of you guys, but because the imperial family had lost all face and wanted to get it back from someone else. It's time to change this bad habit of his. " Nightmare Flames said softly as she gazed at the water.
Seeing that the crown prince had promised to save him, Shui Yuehan finally felt at ease. As he looked at Night Emperor Yan, he felt that he had become even more pleasing to the eye.
After dinner, the crown prince personally brought her to her residence. It did not make her feel pressured like she did at the special place given to her by Emperor Ye Shang. The place that Emperor Ye Yan let her stay in was very quiet and elegant, and there were very few people who would come to it. Although he was too skinny, Shui Ruo liked him a lot.
She came to the Crown Prince's Palace as a temporary measure, so she did not want to befriend anyone. If possible, she only wanted to wait for the members of the Shui Family to recover.
Speaking of the Shui Family … Water frowned. The Shui Family should be in a mess by now.
After the Crown Prince sent Shui Long over, he went out to take care of his business. At the moment, Shui Ruo was the only one in the room. Shui sat on a chair, frowning as he thought about the Shui family.
This time, it was all because of her willfulness. If she had let the Night Emperor stay, there would have been no problems with the Shui family. She had obviously taken over the body of her predecessor, but not only did she not make the former's family happy, she had instead sent the entire Shui family into prison. How could she be at ease with this?
Shui Yuehan was even more depressed than before, the frown on his face growing deeper and deeper. While Shui Ruo was still worrying about the Shui family, the world outside was in chaos.
Inside the Crown Princess's Palace in the east side of the Crown Prince's Palace, Shangguan Yun smashed the blue and white porcelain bottle in her hands. Her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at the man in front of her and shouted, "Get lost! Get the hell out of here! "
"Why are you so angry, sister-in-law?" Opposite the girl was a young man around the age of seventeen or eighteen who was dressed in royal blue. He looked at the girl with a wronged expression.
"Get out! I don't want to see you! " Shangguan Yun pointed at Ye Huangze and said coldly.
"Don't you want to know what happened to third brother?" The man looked at Shangguan Yun and asked.
When the Night Emperor's cultivation is mentioned, Shangguan Yun was dazed for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. She looked coldly at the Night King Ze and said, "I don't want to hear it, I'm the Crown Prince's consort and only want to hear the matter of the Crown Prince. Also, as the Seventh Prince, please show me some respect! "If you dare to be like what you did just now, I'll, I'll!"
"So what? "Sister-in-law, no matter what I do to you, Big Brother Crown Prince will not care because the person he cares about is not you." As he spoke, he walked in her direction.
"You, what are you doing?" Shangguan Yun looked at Ye Huangze vigilantly and asked.
Hearing this, Ye Huangze said with an innocent face, "Imperial Sister-in-Law, why do you keep thinking so badly of me? Everything I did was for your own good. Even if … You hate me. "
"You." Shangguan Yun looked at Ye Huangze with a bit of anger, but then she thought about it, Ye Huangze was indeed very good to her. Ever since before she got married, she had been by her side the entire time. Sister Yun Yun kept calling out to her, and after she got married, she always came to see her. However, at this moment, when she heard the sounds of "Big Sister Yun", she felt humiliated.
He had gradually become a monster after being beaten and scolded by the Crown Prince. It was completely different from the Shangguan Yun of the past. Don't like the Night Emperor? What a joke! She liked that person since she could remember. She liked him to the point where her heart almost broke. However, the current her was too dirty. The Crown Prince didn't want to touch her, but he was doing everything he could to torment her. It was as if she had stolen his most important item.
Right now, she had nothing left. The only thing that remained was endless pain and humiliation. She even gradually fell in love with the crown prince who had hurt her. All of this made it difficult for her to face. However, just when she didn't want to face him anymore, this youth still called out to her like an elder sister, causing her to be afraid.
