When Yu Niaoniao woke up, she realized that she was lying on an unfamiliar bed.

She got up quickly and looked around. She saw a familiar figure sitting at the table.

The window was half open. The candlelight flickered gently as the evening wind blew in.

The man was looking down at a tree. When he heard the commotion, he looked up and met Niaoniao’s eyes.

Yu Niaoniao jumped out of bed. “Shen Zhuo? Why are you here?”

Shen Zhuo was wearing a light green long robe and a white crane-patterned feather cloak. His face was as fair as jade, and his eyebrows were delicate. He had the posture of a gentleman.

“Niaoniao, you’re awake.”

Yu Niaoniao looked wary. “You kidnapped me here? What’s your goal?”

Shen Zhuo put down his book and gently patted the chair beside 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 Niaoniao ignored him.

She walked quickly toward the door, wanting to bolt.

But the door was locked from the outside and could not be opened.

Yu Niaoniao was angry and anxious, but logic made her calm down.

The sky outside the window was still dark. In the distance, they could still see the night sky illuminated by lamps, which meant that they should still be in Xingning City.

When Xiao Juan and Tang Guixi found out that she had disappeared, they would definitely seal the city gate and search the entire city. free(w)ebnov(e)l

As long as they searched door to door, it was only a matter of time before they found this place.

What she needed to do now was to stabilize Shen Zhuo and not let him do anything out of line.

Shen Zhuo looked at her quietly, taking in the change in her expression. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝗯𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝐦

Seeing that she was no longer pulling the door open, he knew that she had figured it out.

Shen Zhuo said again, “Come and sit.”

Yu Niaoniao hesitated for a moment before finally walking over obediently.

She sat down opposite Shen Zhuo.

Shen Zhuo poured a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of her.

“Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?”

How could Yu Niaoniao have the appetite to eat now? Moreover, she was worried that Shen Zhuo would drug the food. She did not dare to eat what he would give her.

She said with a tense face, “I’m not hungry.”

Shen Zhuo picked up the book he had not finished just now. “I’ve read this Seven Treasures Record many times and have been waiting for the second book. I wonder when you can draw it?”

When Yu Niaoniao saw that he was reading seriously just now, she thought that he was reading some rare book. She did not expect him to be reading a comic book.

She pursed her lower lip. “As the ruler of a country, you shouldn’t read such unorthodox books.”

Shen Zhuo smiled. “A book is a book. The so-called orthodoxy is just a

prejudice of humans. As long as I like it, it’s the best book in the world. The same applies to people.”

These words had a double meaning.

Yu Niaoniao did not answer and said bluntly, “This is Xingning City, the territory of the Eastern Tang. As the emperor of Dayan, aren’t you afraid of losing your life here?”

Shen Zhuo gently stroked the page. “I’ve already left an edict before I set off. If I don’t return in ten days, the 500,000 troops guarding the border of Dayan will attack Eastern Tang.”

Yu Niaoniao could not help but clench her fists and pretend to be relaxed. “Don’t try to fool me.”

Shen Zhuo spoke unhurriedly, “A year ago, Liaodong County announced that it was separating from the Dayan and changed its name to Eastern Tang. At that time, I wanted to send troops to take back Liaodong, but for some objective reasons, I couldn’t do it. Now, I’ve already cleaned up the stumbling blocks that would hinder me. I’ve already prepared my troops and am just waiting for the battle.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Since you’ve already decided to go to war, why did you take the risk to come here to look for me?”

Shen Zhuo’s gaze lingered on her. “I want you to come with me.”

The corners of Yu Niaoniao’s mouth twitched as she mocked, “In your dreams?”

Shen Zhuo gently put down his book. “There will be war here soon. You really don’t have to stay here and suffer. As long as you come with me, I promise to let you live as freely as you did when you were young.”

Yu Niaoniao seemed to have heard a funny joke.

“Free and easy? If you take me back, won’t you control me like a canary? Why coax me with the nonsense that even three-year-olds won’t believe?”

Shen Zhuo said seriously, “I’m not coaxing you. As long as you want it, I’ll try my best to satisfy you. Back then, didn’t you want to seek justice for your parents? I’ve already helped you do it.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “The person who helped me do it is Ah Juan, not you!”

Shen Zhuo said, “But if I hadn’t gone easy on him, how could he have sneaked into the palace so smoothly? I only did this on your account.”

Yu Niaoniao endured it again and again, but in the end, she could not help but mock.

“Forget it! You were clearly doing it for yourself! Back then, the deaths of your mother and brother were related to your father. ”

“Since you were young, your father sent you to the temple and you lived a life worse than ordinary people. As a prince, you have never enjoyed the preferential treatment of a prince for so many years.”

“I don’t believe you didn’t feel resentment! Now that your father is dead, not only can you take revenge, but you can also naturally ascend to the throne.

You’re doing this for your own selfish reasons. Don’t use me as a cover!”

When Shen Zhuo heard her finish, not only was he not angry, he laughed.

“As expected of Niaoniao. Your guess is really accurate. I’m indeed hiding my selfishness. ”

“Ever since I was young, my mother had strictly taught me to work hard. Because I don’t just represent myself. I represent the entire Wen family. No matter what I do, I have to think more than others. This is my responsibility and my destiny.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “In that case, you should continue to fulfill your destiny and not look for me again.”

Shen Zhuo sighed softly. “Niaoniao, that position is too high. It’s lonely at the top. I hope to have you by my side.”

Yu Niaoniao could tell that this person was greedy. Before he became emperor, he was focused on seizing the throne. Now that he had finally ascended the throne, he felt that this position was too cold and wanted someone by his side to accompany him for a long time.

He had to take all the good things in the world.

Yu Niaoniao asked, “What if I don’t agree?”

Shen Zhuo said, “Then I’ll personally lead the troops to attack Eastern Tang. When Eastern Tang is captured, you still have to return to my side.” He was calm and composed, as if he had everything in hand.

Yu Niaoniao looked at her steadily. She suddenly thought of something and softened her tone.

“Brother Junzhi.”

Shen Zhuo, who had not heard this title for a long time, could not help but be stunned.

Then he looked happy. “You’re finally willing to call me Brother Junzhi again.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Do you remember why you came to my house when you were young?

Speaking of the past, Shen Zhuo’s eyes were filled with nostalgia. “Mr. Feng is both virtuous and talented. He’s a rather famous literary master in the southwest. Mother secretly sent me to Bashu and asked me to become Mr. Feng’s disciple to learn from him. That’s where I met you..”
