Chapter 1305: Consequences of Lying

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“After you were captured by Prince Xu, were you thrown into a room?” she asked directly.

“Yes.”

“And then?”

Ni Dingyuan felt that she was probably asking him what happened after he was thrown into a room, so he answered truthfully, “Then, I struggled with all my might and tried to escape. In the end, I managed to break free. After that, I wanted to run away. The door of the room was locked from the outside and could not be opened. I wanted to escape through the window, but before I could escape, I heard someone’s stomach growling. I looked over and found that there was a person tied up in the room and on the bed. I assumed we were both kidnapped to be presented to the Empress so he should be just as unwilling as I. I rushed over and wanted to untie him. We would run away together, but there was a sudden noise from outside that scared me. I was afraid that guards would come in, even if he wouldn’t be able to escape, I still had a chance. So I apologized and left. I wonder how that man is doing now…”

Immediately after, he bowed and begged for forgiveness, “Your Majesty, please forgive me! It was not that I was unwilling to serve Your Majesty. It was just that I had studied for so many years and was looking forward to one day becoming an official. If I entered the palace and joined the harem… I… Please forgive me! I didn’t want to fight for affection. This matter was committed by me alone. If the Empress wants to blame me, you can chop off my head. Please do not harm my family because of my stubbornness!”

At this point, tears welled up in his eyes.

He was an ambitious person. He really could not accept that he had been independent for so many years, but in the end, he had become a male toy in the harem.

The chief eunuch pondered Fu Ying’s expression and shouted, “Do you know the consequences of deceiving the Empress?”

Ni Dingyuan even knelt on the ground. “I dare not lie to the Empress. Heaven is my witness. If I am not telling the truth, I am willing to be beheaded and never be reincarnated.”

The chief eunuch immediately looked at Fu Ying.

Didn’t this mean that what Xue Wufu said before was true?

Then Xue Wufu might not be Prince Xu’s man…

Those words of Xue Wufu just now were not necessarily to inquire about the truth, but genuine concern…

Fu Ying’s expression was ugly, and she immediately regretted kicking Xue Wufu.

However, she couldn’t bring herself to apologize to Xue Wufu.

She clenched her fists under her sleeves.

“Lock him up here. We can’t let him fall into Prince Xu’s hands,” Fu Ying ordered after they came out of the secret chamber.

Regardless of whether this was Fu Xu’s scheme or whether he knew that the Ni Dingyuan in the palace was actually Xue Wufu, they could not let Ni Dingyuan fall into Fu Xu’s hands again.

Otherwise, wouldn’t Fu Xu know that she had captured Ni Dingyuan and asked him the truth? Then, wouldn’t he naturally deduce that she had been pretending to enjoy herself ever since she ascended the throne?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Then, Fu Ying walked towards the imperial garden. However, after taking a few steps, she seemed to realize that she was hungry. She stopped in her tracks, then turned around and went elsewhere.

The chief eunuch saw this and did not dare to say anything.

In the imperial garden, the young eunuchs were playing with Xue Wufu again, waving the flag. However, this time, there were many musicians playing the pipa beside them. Ambush from All Sides was so intense that the young eunuchs immediately became much more energetic after playing the flag game.

Even the guards felt their blood boil as they watched. The atmosphere was lively.
