Chapter 57 A minister will never lie to the princess

"If the King of Yue really rebels, I will not escape anymore. I will die with my family."

"Pei Ji, you said you like me, but liking someone is not forced. You said you want to repay me for saving my life. That shouldn't be like this. Do you understand?"

"If you are sincere, then fulfill my wish, okay?"

Wei Yunzhu leaned against the dark sky and the dark earth. The wind picked up and the lake water became strangely turbulent, as if there was some terrifying beast under the lake that was about to break out of the water.

She pinched the hem of her skirt tightly, and her whole body was shaking violently. Yes, she was extremely scared. From the words she just said, she was afraid that Pei Ji would really kill her.

Completely angering him would cause huge waves every time. She knew him, but she didn't understand him. The only thing she was sure of was that he could do any crazy thing that would shock the world and make people frightened.

Sure enough, Pei Ji's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and the stern look in his eyes was even more chilling than the temperature of the Seoul lake behind him. In the darkness, his eyes were hard to distinguish, as if he was about to knock the bones of his prey and suck out the marrow.

Just when Wei Yunzhu really thought that he would rush over, grab her neck, strangle the most fragile bones and blood vessels in her throat, and show no mercy.

He chuckled softly, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was a little strange.

Wei Yunzhu closed her eyes subconsciously, and her legs became weak.

But what was waiting was Pei Ji's laughter. Strangely, this laughter was not scary, it was even very pleasant.

Laughter was accompanied by footsteps, which stopped very close to the girl, but there was no next move.

Wei Yunzhu didn't dare to open his eyes. He was afraid that behind the melodious laughter was a cold, bloodthirsty, and sinister face.

"Princess, I don't quite understand what you just said."

Sure enough, I was so stubborn that I started to act stupid.

"Pei Ji, you heard me clearly, my only wish now is to spend this life peacefully... forget about Pei Ji."

The girl retreated subconsciously, her voice filled with determination and determination.

"You...don't come here!"

Pei Ji lowered his eyebrows, glanced at the girl who had already put her feet on the edge of the lake, and immediately stopped.

The voice also softened: "Princess, please stop joking with Wei Chen. Wei Chen will also be sad and in pain."

He put his hand on his chest, which was still bleeding, and suddenly exerted force. If he could, he would take out his heart and let her see it.

Wei Yunzhu was determined, this was her only chance.

"Pei Ji, don't force me anymore..."

Seeing the resistance in the girl's eyes, Pei Ji's hand covering his chest quietly dropped. He felt like an abandoned, lost dog.

The two were in a stalemate...for a long time...

"Zhuzhu," the man's sighing voice came, with a tone of helplessness and reluctance: "As you wish."

Wei Yunzhu subconsciously raised his eyes, somewhat in disbelief.

He brushed away the girl's wind-tossed hair with his fingers and said in a neither salty nor light, light or heavy voice: "As long as the princess wants it, I will be satisfied."

"Actually, if the princess wants something, why don't the ministers want it too?"

His eyes were filled with despair, and the faint light seemed to disappear in the next second, and the whole person fell into hell, never to be reincarnated.

"In the past, the princess was always the stingiest. She was so stingy that she would never see her ministers. In the Imperial Study Room, you praised my paintings for being very clever."

"Later, I spent several days and nights painting a portrait for you, just to present it to you on your birthday. At that time, I knelt down and presented the painting, just to get your praise again. I don't want much, just that you can

You smiled at me, but I didn't expect that you threw the unopened scroll in the corner and smiled at Gu Yanyi who was preparing fireworks for you."

"That day, I tore the painting into pieces and swore I would never love you again. There are so many beautiful women in the world, so why should I bother myself?"

"As a result, when I went to court on the second day, I ran into you again in front of the Xingqing Palace. You obviously just called me Mr. Chief Assistant in a distant manner, but I still stared at your back in confusion, giving you a cold smile.

, I was instantly immersed in it again, completely forgetting yesterday’s shame.”

He raised his eyes, with a mocking smile on his lips, hating himself for being so useless.

"Until the day you were to marry Gu Yanyi, I was so jealous that I went crazy. I was so jealous that I wanted to rush over and kill Gu Yanyi immediately, and then destroy you."

He was like a dirty mouse who could only hide in a cold and damp corner to peek at that sun-kissed face, but Gu Yanyi was so wanton, talking and laughing with her wantonly, and possessing his beloved girl wantonly.

"You will smile at him, but never at me..."

"I don't understand either, why is it the princess, why is it Wei Yunzhu, why does it have to be you?"

He wished he could give his heart to the princess, but why did the princess only hate him?

From Taiji Palace to Yun'an Palace, no one is more familiar with this road than him. There are 162 crabapples, 245 palace lanterns, 321 stone pillars, and 499 steps.

Every step is the distance between him and his sweetheart.

For the rest of his life, he just wanted to cross that distance.

But it’s so difficult…

Hearing the loneliness and questioning in his words, Wei Yunzhu sighed quietly and said in a soft tone: "Pei Ji, I understand your feelings for me over the years, but nothing in the world is smooth sailing. Emotional matters are not about hard work.

That’s fine, there’s no fate between you and me at all, so why force it?”

"Wouldn't it be better to let each other go?"

Pei Ji's eyes seemed to be filled with stormy waves, like dark clouds that could not be dispelled. His tone was cold and ruthless: "I don't believe in fate, let alone fate. I only believe in the sword in my hand."

"If the princess believes in fate, then I will kill the person who is destined to be the princess. If the princess believes in fate, I will kill one."

Wei Yunzhu frowned and shook her head subconsciously. All her earnest persuasion just now were in vain. She was trying to reason with a lunatic. She was completely wrong from the beginning.

When he was about to despair, the man sounded like he was smiling but not smiling: "Wei Chen has never learned to refuse the princess, so... princess, let's go."

Leave? What a surprise.

When he was about to drown, a life-saving straw was suddenly thrown down. Wei Yunzhu, who wanted to hold on tightly, raised his eyes expectantly.

"From here, as long as the princess takes ten steps forward without looking back, the minister will disappear into the princess's world forever." He explained lightly, as if he was careless.

Wei Yunzhu couldn't believe it, but when she met the man's eyes, she was surprisingly firm.

"Ten steps, ten steps as promised, you can't go back on your word, let alone drag me, and you can't pull me back..." She tried her best to bargain, eliminating the slightest possibility of being blocked.

Pei Ji chuckled and nodded: "Wei Chen will never lie to the princess."

"Okay, we agreed, you can't cheat at all costs."

After saying this, the girl immediately turned around and stepped forward without hesitation. She took the first step with trepidation, fearing that the person behind her would regret it, and even more afraid that he would rush up and use his tricks.

The second step was a lot easier. There was no movement behind me and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Three steps, four steps...six steps, thinking that freedom is just ahead, she subconsciously speeds up, it's very fast, everything will be restored soon...
