Chapter 174 Are You Aren't Afraid Of Death?

One of the palace maids was so frightened that her legs trembled, as if she had seen the future where she would not have much time, she immediately knelt down and said:

"After being a sinner, the servant girl never thought of anything like this. She just thought that she was going to be one of the female officials in the palace to serve His Majesty's daily life."

After that, he didn't speak any more, the whole person was really nervous.

But these words are enough, obviously she doesn't want to.

Ulay was not surprised, and put his eyes on the other two court ladies with a blank expression.

The two people lowered their heads slightly, unable to see their expressions, but the one in the middle turned his face slightly to look at the kneeling person next to him, hesitated for a moment, then knelt down, and said simply:

"Slaves are the same."

Shen Liuzhen looked at the only remaining maid who was standing, her lips moved, and she even wanted to make a final decision for Wu Lei, it was her.

What if all three disagree?Is that all?

Can't forget it.

Shen Liuzhen stared at the only person left, and said aloud: "If..."

"I am willing." The standing maid raised her head and said aloud, with a firm expression on her face and a calm expression.

Shen Liuzhen was surprised, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.He was really afraid, if several people were unwilling, if forced, it would be difficult to end...

Not only Shen Liuzhen, but also the two court ladies who were kneeling couldn't help but looked up at the woman standing beside them in surprise...

It's like looking at someone who doesn't want to live.

Ulay leaned forward slightly. The 15 years old boy, with deep eyes and a luxurious temperament, carefully scrutinized the person who said he was willing.

The woman looked like a Han Chinese, with soft features, no makeup, smoky willow-leaf eyebrows, slender eyes, and a somewhat cool mouth.Compared with the Xianbei people, they are obviously a little duller in appearance, and more restrained and deep-minded.

He doesn't like people with deep thoughts.

Wu Lei thought: Even if it is Shen Liuzhen, he knows that he has a full stomach, but on the surface, Shen Liuzhen also has a pair of smart big eyes, small dimples, and his actions and words are harmless to humans and animals, which will make you feel that he is very close and can talk to each other. .

And the woman in front of her... looked not easy to get along with.

Ulay asked aloud: "They are not willing, why are you willing?"

"They are afraid of death." The court lady lowered her head slightly and said humbly.

Wu Lei sneered: "...Aren't you afraid? I didn't say that you were once the princesses of a country, the people who were rich and well-clothed, and once your country was destroyed and your family was destroyed, you were slaves who served as rough envoys to your enemies. Such a contrast is unbearable for individuals. Anyone who is not afraid of death must have hanged himself with a rope long ago, right?"

Shen Liuzhen heard the dissatisfaction with this woman revealed in Wu Lei's words, and couldn't help turning his head to look at him, especially wanting to remind him:

Now it's time to choose the one that can be used, only this one can be used for you, you must focus on the overall situation...

His words hadn't come out yet.

The woman raised her eyes again, glanced at Shen Liuzhen for some reason, seemed to be reconsidering something, and said aloud:

"The servant is naturally afraid of death, but the servant guesses that it may be possible to avoid death."

Both Wu Lei and Shen Liuzhen were stunned for a moment.

Yes... As long as you don't have children, you can avoid death.Ulay himself wanted a partner who would help him, not her to give birth to him.

Shen Liuzhen and Wu Lei glanced at each other, and they both saw the same thought in each other's eyes - it was her, she was smart enough to guess what kind of person they wanted.

At least, intellectually, he is a bit higher than the other two.

Shen Liuzhen said to the two kneeling on the ground: "You two step back."

"Yes……"

"Yes……"

The two maids seemed to be relieved, but at the same time seemed to be somewhat puzzled and regretful. When they retreated, they turned around quietly and looked back at the maid who said yes.

The door of the hall opened and was closed again.

Wu Lei looked at the court lady. He was afraid that he might make a mistake, so he asked, "... After all, what can you do to save yourself from dying?"

The court lady stood meekly, her voice was soft and humble, but what she said was full of confidence:

"If you want to choose a person who will continue to be your majesty's heir, why do you need to test the Four Books and Five Classics, Classics and History? Anyway, it's not the queen's turn to raise her own children. Whether you can read or not, the result is the same. Therefore, the servant thinks that the test for this is definitely It's not for having children. Since you don't need to have children, and you can occupy a high position and enjoy glory, why don't you want to."

Wu Lei chuckled lightly, and said, "Your guess is too arbitrary. Maybe, I just want to find a knowledgeable woman. After we get married, we can chat easily."

The court lady didn't smile, she just raised her eyes secretly, glanced at Ulay, and said:

"Who wants to have a relationship with a woman who is destined to have a life of only one or two years? The slaves used to serve in the womb of Mrs. Jingmu, and saw the prince getting along with the concubines... His Royal Highness knows that the person he loves is easy to die, so no one else will." Don't take it to heart. His relationship with the officials of the Eastern Palace is deeper than that of the women who share the same bed in the harem..."

When Ulay heard this, he frowned with some heartache, and a sense of sadness came from it.

He doesn't like this rule, he has to kill his mother... This rule is too ruthless, no one can feel warm from it, no one will feel happy, they are all victims... What is it for?
Just for the country and the country, is the imperial power stable?
Seeing that Wu Lei didn't speak, Shen Liuzhen seemed to have stabbed the pain in his heart again from that expression, so he had to remind him aloud:
"Your Majesty, do you want to take another test yourself?"

Ulay obviously felt tired, and said, "No need..."

He raised his eyes to look at the standing maid, and asked, "I haven't asked yet, which country's princess are you, what's your name, and how old are you?"

When the maid heard this, a docile smile finally appeared on her indifferent face, and she said:

"The maidservant is the princess of the Yan Kingdom. She has no title and her nickname is Boyang. She is seventeen this year."

"Boyang?... If I remember correctly, I have a word called Boyang, isn't your name a bit big?" Wu Lei asked coldly.

The palace maid slightly lowered her lips and said, "No, the servant's "sheep" are the sheep of cattle and sheep, and they are just sacrificed to livestock. Because my birth order is two, and my mother hopes that I will be gentle and courteous, so I am named Huo. Be Boyang... Feng Boyang."

She bowed obediently and emphasized her name again.

……

……

On the border of the Southern Song Dynasty, the weather is getting colder day after day.But the emperor didn't make a decision. The expanded soldiers, even the supplies, were ordered by the imperial decree, and they didn't know when they would come.

Since the last time, because of the hot pepper incident, Xie Yuan had started a new training schedule in the camp.

The barracks was more than three times more stressful than the previous daily drills.

Perhaps it was because of all these things that for the first time there were deserters in Xie Yuan's camp...
