The best way to pull off this lie is to tell the whole truth.
Therefore, he ordered his most capable subordinates to do this early to ensure that nothing went wrong.
"Your Highness, the man said that the matter promised to Your Highness has been settled, and asked Your Highness when he would fulfill his promise and rescue him." A man wearing armor was half-kneeling on the ground.
"It's useless to just surrender. If you want this matter to never be known to others, you have to make sure that nothing can be pried out of his mouth."
"My subordinate understands."
Only dead people cannot speak.
Today he can rely on benefits and threats to get him to surrender. If he doesn't get benefits in the future, he will be swayed by others.
In the dungeon of the Sea Clan, the man's body was covered with scars left after being tortured.
When he saw Jun Zhi's subordinates coming here again, he came over excitedly, turned his eyes around to make sure no one was paying attention to them, and then asked in a low voice: "How are Pearl and my children doing?"
The man patted the man's hand with some comfort and said, "Don't worry, everything is settled, just waiting for you to reunite with them."
"It's just that you probably have to stay here for a few more days."
The man's gloomy complexion became colored after hearing what he said, especially when there was a hint of light in his eyes.
"I know, I know!" He repeated it twice and then walked back and forth inside, constantly thinking about how high-spirited he would be after becoming Lord Yihuang.
For the sake of the future, the suffering I am suffering now is just some physical pain, so it doesn’t matter.
"But don't worry, the Lord still cares about your merits. He specially asked me to take care of you so that the jailer can take good care of you. You can also suffer less."
Hearing this, the man knelt down in gratitude, kowtowed and kept saying words of praise.
"The Lord knew that you must not be able to eat well or sleep well in prison, so he asked me to buy some delicious meals outside." He handed the food box in his hand.
It seemed that he finally smelled a hint of conspiracy, or felt that there was something wrong with the smooth sailing of this matter, and the man finally became vigilant.
He held in his arms the hairpin he had tied for his wife outside, but before he could give it away, he put it into every dish and tested the poison.
After making sure he was fine, he finally felt relieved and started eating happily.
"Lord Lu Ming, don't be surprised. This villain cherishes his life. This is just fear."
"understand."
Lu Ming, who was waiting to collect the food boxes outside, sat cross-legged outside the door and asked him: "Do you love your wife very much?"
Although the man's mouth was full of oil after eating, he still smiled when he mentioned his wife. He did not forget to take time to answer him while eating. He said: "Of course I love you. How could we become husband and wife if we didn't love each other? Doing this Isn’t it all so that my wife and children can live a better life in the future?”
"My wife used to work as a slave. Although she was said to be serving the princess in the palace, the princess had no airs and was very nice to the servants, but she couldn't stop her from thinking too much and she always felt inferior."
"Her father is still a minor official, her mother's family has many children, and her parents love to spend money, so she entered the palace early to serve people to support the family. She is not a legitimate daughter, and her biological mother died early, and no one in the family pays attention to it. . If I am wronging her by marrying me, then her life will be too wronged."
For a long time, a man has been telling stories about his wife, but has nothing to talk about about himself.
Talking about pearls, he said——
Pearl was selected into the palace to serve the princess since she was a child. In addition, the age of the two is actually not much different. In their daily interactions, the relationship between the two is actually more like sisters.
But the days before entering the palace were undoubtedly not good for Pearl.
Pearl is the name given to Zai by the princess. Her original name is Xiaozao, yes, the name of seaweed.
This was a name given by her aunt. No one knew its purpose, and there was no hope or blessing for her in this name.
When we changed her name, the princess didn't know many words, because what she loved most was studying, spending three days fishing and two days drying nets.
So the words she wrote were like dog crawling handwriting. Although she was very smooth-talking, sometimes the words she said did not match the words in her mind.
She knew the word "pearl" and was able to write it simply because she copied too many gift lists from the banquet. Most of the items given by people were related to pearls, so she naturally learned the word "pearl".
She said that pearls symbolize purity, peace and beauty, and a bright and gorgeous girl like her is as sparkling and flawless as a pearl in the sea.
And pearls are also tempered, and so is Xiaozao.
From that time on, Pearl realized that she was worthy of the word bright and gorgeous, but An Yiran told her that Pearl was always happy when she was with her, wasn't she?
After entering the palace, Pearl realized that the disputes in the palace were more dangerous than her family's house.
It's just that An Yiran is luckier than her. She is the legitimate daughter, her father's favorite legitimate daughter.
But even so, she is not immune to other people's conspiracies. She climbed up the wall and was pushed down intentionally by her sister, or deliberately dropped a needle in the clothes she was going to wear, or deliberately threw a handful of sand in the food she was eating.
Because they expected that she would not tell her father, because she hated people saying that everything she had was based on her face that resembled her mother's.
These are all just childish matters, just a little quarrel between children.
She was thrown into a snake cave and almost lost all her blood after a narrow escape. She was tricked into losing her voice and finally found a famous doctor to give her a needle.
So Pearl is more like her sister more often. At least they are closer than those brothers and sisters who don't get along with each other.
But the gap caused by her original family has always been a thorn in her heart.
She originally said she would leave here when the princess gets her hairpin, but later she couldn't bear to leave and said she would leave after the Hai Clan's coming-of-age ceremony.
When she got married, the princess brought a lot of dowry, which almost emptied her treasury. What she was asked to take away was the luminous pearl that she used to light up the palace in the middle of the night.
She said that the moonlight could not be seen everywhere under the sea, so she asked her to take it away and put it in the house. When she looked at it, she remembered the time when the two of them sat together and watched the moon every night.
It comes with countless gold and silver treasures packed in boxes, as well as stores she has secretly purchased from various walks of life over the years.
She said that as long as she is around, no one can bully Pearl, but if she is no longer around, Pearl will be able to survive in all walks of life.
"So our allegiance is not to His Majesty, but to the princess."
