Chapter 160: Ning Yuke, who has nothing
After chatting about the Tongzhou Society for a while, Chu Xianping also left.
He basically no longer goes to the Xuan Jing Division to report for duty, and has officially become a member of the army of people drawing a salary without doing anything. However, Wei Changtian had already informed Chen Bo about this, and the latter naturally did not dare to have any opinions except for being a little confused.
After sitting alone in the secret room for a while, he walked out of the tunnel along the stone steps.
It was late at night, with a bright moon overhead and blue bricks of fine texture beneath my feet, spotless and seamless.
Wei Changtian originally wanted to go to sleep directly, but after hesitating for a moment, he turned around and went back into the secret door, walked along the tunnel for a while, and finally stopped in front of another dark room.
"Dongdong~Dong~"
There were two knocks on the door, one light and one heavy. After waiting for a while, the sound of the door being unlocked was heard from inside the house.
"Young Master."
Ning Yuke, who looked haggard, forced a smile and stepped aside to let Wei Changtian into the room.
She stood at the door a little stiffly, lowered her head and asked softly, "When did you come back?"
"It's been two days."
Wei Changtian looked at her and asked casually, "I wonder if the princess has adapted to living in this dark room for so long?"
"fine."
Ning Yuke shook her head, looking a little weak.
“.”
Wei Changtian didn't ask any more questions, but just walked out of the dark room.
"Come out with me."
The moonlight shines through the curtains; birds perch on the branches when the wind is still.
In the bedroom, Wei Changtian and Ning Yuke sat opposite each other at the table, with a starry sky outside the open window.
Even prisoners in prison are given time to exercise for humanitarian reasons, not to mention that Ning Yuke is not a criminal in custody.
It would be even more difficult to deal with if she developed any problems by staying in the dark room all the time, so Wei Changtian took her out late at night to breathe some fresh air.
"Princess, I didn't let you out before because of your safety. I hope you can understand."
After pouring a cup of tea for Ning Yuke, Wei Changtian said in a deep voice: "But this kind of days shouldn't last too long. After a while, when the rumors outside have completely died down, we can discuss what you should do in the future."
"Well, I will do as you say, sir."
Ning Yuke held the teacup in both hands, looked at the night sky outside the window greedily for a while, then turned around and said softly: "Master, this is the second time you have saved me."
That’s right. I don’t know what sin I have committed.
Wei Changtian rolled his eyes in his heart and shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know whether I should save him or not."
Ning Yuke's hand holding the teacup shook slightly: "Do you regret it, Master?"
"I don't regret it."
Wei Changtian waved his hand: "Since it has come to this, there is nothing more to say. I will just help them to the end."
"I have never done any good deeds before, so I will consider this as a good deed."
“.”
Ning Yuke looked at Wei Changtian and was speechless for a moment.
She was silent for a long time, and then she asked in a low voice: "Sir, those assassins were sent by the emperor, right?"
"yes."
Wei Changtian was not surprised that Ning Yuke could guess the real culprit behind the scenes, and he took a sip of tea.
"Princess, I'm sure you know what this means."
"I know you want revenge, but... forget it, it's up to you."
Don’t advise others to do good unless you have experienced their suffering.
Wei Changtian didn't say much after all.
Ning Yuke bit her lip and slowly lowered her head, as if she was talking to Wei Changtian, or as if she was talking to herself.
"Sir, I just can't figure it out."
"Even if Daddy was wrong, why did the Emperor kill Yuzhu and Yuling? They clearly knew nothing."
"At lunch that day, they were still telling me about the wonders of Liangzhou and how they wanted to go to Liangzhou to see the snow."
"Why did everything become like this overnight?"
"Why."
A faint sob echoed intermittently in the room. Wei Changtian listened quietly to Ning Yuke's venting until the latter suddenly raised her head, looked directly at him and asked with difficulty: "Master Wei, I want to see the emperor. Can you, can you help me?"
"To see the Emperor?"
Wei Changtian frowned and looked over: "Princess, do you want to ask the emperor in person why he wanted to kill your whole family?"
"I"
Ning Yuke was stunned for a moment, and then she realized how childish what she had just said was.
On the other side, Wei Changtian did not wait for her to answer and continued, "Princess, if you can't even figure this out, I don't think you will have any chance of revenge. You might as well commit suicide as soon as possible."
"It will save me from the trouble later."
“.”
These words were quite cruel. Ning Yuke's body swayed a bit, but her next reaction was somewhat beyond Wei Changtian's expectations.
"Sir, what do you think I should do?"
"You ask me?"
Wei Changtian said with a smile: "Then Princess, please tell me what bargaining chips you have first."
"Although the prince is dead, there should still be some of his subordinates left. Princess, do you know who these people are? Can you recruit them and use them for your own benefit?"
"Or maybe the prince's friends when he was alive. I wonder if the princess can get in touch with them?"
"Oh, the prince should know some of the emperor's secrets or royal secrets. I wonder if the princess knows these things?"
"At the very least, Princess should know where all the gold, silver and jewels that the palace has accumulated over the years are hidden, right?"
"So Princess, what do you have right now?"
“.”
Wei Changtian didn't speak quickly, but with every question he asked, Ning Yuke's face became paler.
It was not until Wei Changtian had asked all the questions that she suddenly realized -
I have nothing left, not even the identity of a "princess".
Except for those enemies who are still searching for her in secret, to ordinary people, Princess Rouan has long been a cold corpse.
"Me, me and myself"
Ning Yuke struggled to raise her head and said hoarsely, "As long as I can get revenge, I'm willing to do anything."
Willing to do anything. Wei Changtian smiled disdainfully.
No matter how submissive Ning Yuke had behaved before, he always knew that Princess Rouan was not willing to surrender in her heart.
Wei Changtian had no intention of PUA Ning Yuke, he just wanted to make her understand how cruel reality is.
"Princess, you are indeed quite pretty."
Wei Changtian curled his lips and said indifferently: "Excuse me for being rude, there are girls of your level in brothels as long as you are willing to spend some money."
Wei Changtian didn't finish his words, because judging from Ning Yuke's reaction, his goal had been achieved.
Class, stuff, brothel. These words pierced Ning Yuke's last bit of dignity like sharp needles.
As a princess who had been pampered since childhood, she had never thought that one day someone would compare her to a prostitute. But was Wei Changtian wrong? At this moment, Ning Yuke finally understood her situation thoroughly.
Even if there were no enemies chasing her, she would have no choice but to fall into the land of willows and smoke, and it would be difficult for her to find a way to survive, let alone revenge . "Princess, I spoke a little harshly just now. You are not completely useless."
After looking at the quiet night outside the window, Wei Changtian turned around and looked directly at the distraught Ning Yuke.
"If Princess is willing, you can help me in the future."
