Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

Shu Bai frowned, he couldn't bear to mention the past.

But Xu Mingyue is the master, and since the master asked, he must answer.

"It was the tenth day after His Highness woke up from a coma. Shu Huai and I were sent to His Highness by the Tutor. After sleeping for more than a year, the first person His Highness saw was the leader of the Ange."

"It was at that meeting that His Highness saw that the man had the idea of ​​imitating his master and ascending to the throne by stepping on the corpses of countless colleagues."

"Of course it was not only the leader of the Ange who had this idea at that time, but also the various lieutenants who were instigated by the leader of the Ange."

"His Highness talked with him for nearly an hour. No one knew what His Highness said to him. His subordinates only saw His Highness coming out of the dark room and opening the pagoda in the dark pavilion with his own hands."

"In less than half an hour, three out of ten secret guards in the secret pavilion have entered the pagoda."

"On that day, it was His Highness, the master of the secret pavilion, who stood on the pagoda in person to meet the challenge from these secret guards."

"That battle lasted for three days and three nights. On the day the pagoda was opened, blood stained every floor tile in the tower. No one who fought against His Highness survived."

"Since then, no one in the Dark Pavilion has had the slightest dissent."

Because those who had the slightest dissent would all die at the hands of Xie Qingyao.

Once and for all.

Xu Mingyue closed the book in her hand and placed it on her knees.

The fingertips pressing on the book were slightly curled, showing a slight tremor: "What is the pagoda made of?"

"In order to ensure the sustainable combat effectiveness of the Dark Pavilion, the late emperor opened the pagoda once a year. The people who defended and attacked the tower were all the elite forces of the lieutenants. The winner could annex the opponent's forces, and the loser had to commit his life to the pagoda. Inside."

"Since the establishment of the Dark Pavilion, only His Highness, the Pavilion Master, has personally stood on the pagoda."

Xie Qingyao, who had lost the protection of power, could only rely on his strength that was superior to everyone else to regain the power that was within his reach in the past.

After recovering from a serious illness, the young pavilion master took his place.

These three points were enough to make those secret guards who had slightly different intentions insist on Xie Qingyao's life.

Xie Qingyao was only fourteen years old that year.

So Xie Qingyao spent all his energy just to reach her alive.

The hand on the book was shaking frequently. Xu Mingyue couldn't help raising her left hand and tightly grasping the skirt of her chest, hoping to relieve the pain in her heart.

But he couldn't suppress the growing pain.

The heartache diluted Xu Mingyue's strength. Sitting on the recliner, Xu Mingyue's hands and feet were so weak that she could not even stand up with her own strength.

With all kinds of bitterness brewing in her heart, Xu Mingyue tried her best to turn her head, looked in the direction of the study room opposite, and whispered:

"Go to Qingyuan for a walk. Your body and bones are the most important thing. Let him rest early and don't work too hard."

Xu Mingyue stood up with Youyu's help and looked up at the palace, the hatred in her eyes thickening.

After leaving the Zhenguo Palace, Shu Bai entered Qingyuan.

The overt and covert guards in Qingyuan are all Shu Bai's old acquaintances. Not only did Shu Bai not encounter any obstacles when he entered Qingyuan today, but also because he is now Xu Mingyue's person, these people, both overt and covert, can treat him well. It's a courtesy.

As soon as he heard that Shu Bai was coming, Shu Huai came to greet him personally and patted Shu Bai on the head skillfully: "My good brother, why do you have time to visit your brother and me today?"

Shu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly and put on an upright look: "My master asked me to bring a message to His Highness."

Shu Huai shook his head with a smile, turned around and led Shu Bai towards the study: "Sure enough, you have climbed to the high branch of the princess, and you can't look down on my brother anymore."

"Alas." The old god sighed: "Originally, I wanted to introduce you to my master, but my master only likes stupid people. Why don't you change your mind to a stupider one?"

Shu Huai raised his head and glanced at Shu Bai with disdain, then laughed dryly: "Haha."

If he doesn't even have a brain, he really has no choice but to die.

"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the study door, and Shu Huai said softly: "Master, the princess asked Shu Bai to bring you a message."

No one inside responded, so Shu Huai opened the door for Shu Bai and stood quietly outside.

Kneeling on his knees, Shu Bai explained Xu Mingyue's explanation: "Master asked his subordinates to tell His Highness: Your body and bones are important. I want you to rest early and don't work too hard."

Xie Qingyao put down the ink pen in his hand and asked, "Is this Dr. Xu's advice or Yueyue's own advice?"

Shu Bai couldn't quite understand the implication, but he had formed a subconscious reaction to Xie Qingyao's long-standing fear. He could only choose to explain the cause and effect:

"The master was sitting in the attic and found His Highness handling official business in the study, so he asked his subordinates when he had followed His Highness, and then asked about the pagoda in the past. After the subordinates explained the past, the princess asked the subordinates to come down and leave. Suffer."

Xie Qingyao lowered his head and played with the coral bead bracelet in his hand, slightly lining the corners of his lips.

This sentence was Xu Mingyue's advice, not Doctor Xu's.

Shu Bai secretly looked up at Xie Qingyao and asked in a low voice: "If the master asks His Highness about the past in the future, can I tell the truth?"

Xie Qingyao locked eyes with Shu Bai: "The princess is your master, what do you want me to do?"

The person was given to Xu Mingyue, and Xie Qingyao took it upon himself to not interfere at all.

The sound of Buddha beads being rubbed was heard, and Xie Qingyao pursed his lips tightly: "If she doesn't force her to ask for details, don't go into details, but don't lie to her either."

Xie Qingyao couldn't bear Xu Mingyue's repeated distress because of past events.

As if he was amnesty, Shu Bai walked out of the study tremblingly.

The look Xie Qingyao gave him just now was truly terrifying.

Sure enough, after being used to living a good life by Xu Mingyue's side, it was even more difficult to bear staying by Xie Qingyao's side and living such a life of fear.

Putting one hand around Shu Huai's shoulder, Shu Bai's eyes were filled with genuine sympathy: "Good brother, thank you for your hard work."

The sun shone on Shu Bai's big white teeth. Shu Huai's sideways look at Shu Bai also became softer with the sunset.
