"Does Your Majesty know about me and Princess Jade?"
"This...that's it."
"..."
Bai Yi stopped talking and his expression suddenly dropped.
He understood, he understood everything.
The reason why Lu Ji didn't let her meet Lu Mao was because she was afraid that she would give Lu Mao some trouble and make Lu Mao let her go.
After all, Lu Mao has a fierce temper. If she is willing to take Bai Yi away, it will be difficult for anyone to stop her.
——
"Don't you think you've gone too far?"
Bai Yi frowned and vented his dissatisfaction to Luna:
"I saved your queen. Logically speaking, I should be your benefactor, but you keep me under house arrest. What's your intention?"
Luna is also thin-skinned. After hearing what Bai Yi said, she felt a little bit embarrassed about her face.
Just making up for it subconsciously:
"The giant eagle is really sick. I believe if we wait..."
"Do you think this princess is stupid?!!!"
These words were almost shouted directly, and then he said:
"I know your country doesn't like humans. If you have any objections to me, you can kill me instead of locking me up here to be humiliated.
After all, I am also a princess of the same country, when have I ever been teased like this?"
Seeing this, Luna stopped talking and just stood aside as if on pins and needles.
She just watched Bai Yi sulking on the bed.
Seeing that she was out of breath, she said:
"I'm sorry Lucy, but... these are the Queen's orders. As subordinates, we have no choice."
Seeing that the other party directly admitted it, Bai Yi jumped in and asked:
"So what do you want to do? At least let me understand."
"The queen's meaning is very simple. She hopes that you can stay in her daughter's country forever."
"Didn't I already make an agreement with Jade? When I go back and report to my parents that I am safe, I will live in the Daughter's Kingdom permanently."
"Don't worry about reporting that you are safe. The Queen has already sent someone to notify your parents."
"ah?"
Bai Yi's body trembled and he couldn't help but panic.
My identity as Lucy is an imposter. If the daughter country discovers the truth, nothing will be clear.
"I want to see Jade."
Bai Yi can only place his hope on Lu Mao now, hoping that the other party can find a way to break the situation for him.
"No Lucy, I told you, Miss, she is in confinement."
"The reason why you are locking him up is simply because you are afraid that she will let me go.
They are all locked up anyway, so why not lock me up with her? That way I can still talk to her.
Is it possible that I am still afraid that she will fly with me?
If you are really worried, the worst possible thing is to bring in more guards."
"This...I'm very sorry Lucy, the queen specifically emphasized that she will not be allowed to meet you."
"Why?"
"This...I can't say."
She looked embarrassed, and no matter how many questions Bai Yi asked after that, she never answered directly, just said a few words casually, and then left.
And the more she acted like this, the more Bai Yi felt that Lu Mao had some special skills.
——Special skills that can take you away.
Otherwise, there is no need for Lu Ji to be so wary of Lu Mao.
——
Bai Yi believed that his reasoning was correct.
However, the next day, he realized that he was wrong, and how wrong he was.
Early the next morning, Green Lady came.
She personally delivered food to Bai Yi without bringing anyone with her.
Bai Yiben wanted to get angry and put on a bad face to ask the other party to let him go.
But seeing her attitude, and thinking about how much care Bai Niao received from her, he finally softened.
She trotted forward:
"Your Majesty, how can I trouble you with such a thing?"
"It's okay, you haven't had breakfast yet, and I haven't either, can we come together?"
Bai Yi doesn't like to eat with Lu Ji because he usually eats pretty boldly.
But now, she can only chew her food slowly, after all, this is the only way to be consistent with her status as a princess.
"Luna told me, do you want to see Jade?"
"Yes, I'm sorry for losing my temper with her, but if Your Majesty didn't lock me up here, my temper should be pretty good."
"I know you blame me, so I came here today to talk about where you will go from now on."
"Your Majesty, are you willing to let me go?"
Bai's eyes lit up, but the other party waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Let's not talk about this for now."
Bai Yi's newly aroused hope was shattered.
"Then what are we talking about..."
His tone was nothing but helpless.
"Let's talk about your marriage to Lu'er."
"This... Your Majesty thinks I am not worthy of the princess?"
"No, I didn't mean that. Rather, it's quite the opposite."
"on the contrary?"
"To be honest, as a mother, I am honored to have such a capable daughter-in-law like you, but this does not mean that I can accept your marriage."
"I am not quite sure what you mean."
"I mean, she doesn't deserve you."
"Isn't this just a good person card that I declined politely? After all, Your Majesty still looks down on my human status."
"No, no, no, I definitely don't mean that. Although I don't like humans, that's not the case for everyone. I once had a goddaughter named Shiratori, who was also a human like you.
This is enough to show that nothing is absolute.
And you are my savior. I can’t even express my gratitude, so how can I look down on you?”
"So...your majesty means..."
"You stay in the daughter country, but you cannot marry Jade. She is not worthy of you."
"So, Your Majesty is planning to introduce other more outstanding princesses to me, right?"
Only then did Bai Yi gain confidence.
Unexpectedly, the other party still shook his head:
"No, they are not worthy of you either."
"Is that His Majesty's sister?"
"no."
"There is no way she is His Majesty's wife, the Queen..."
Bai Yigan laughed, thinking that Lu Ji was teasing him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ji suddenly grabbed one of her hands, put it on her chest, and said:
"What do you think about me?"
Snap...
The spoon in his hand fell to the ground.
The smile on Bai Yi's face froze.
He looked at Lu Ji in surprise and embarrassment, hesitated for a long time, and then said:
"Your Majesty is joking, right? Hahaha... Your Majesty is so funny..."
However, the other party did not reply and just looked at Bai Yi with a smile.
Bai Yi saw unprecedented seriousness in her eyes.
Then, I felt an unprecedented sense of terror:
"How, how could this be possible? Your Majesty, how...how could you snatch a woman from your own daughter?"
Bai Yi was so frightened that her tone stammered. It was no wonder that he was so nervous. After all, she thought of Bai Bird.
After all, Midori is Shiratori's godmother, and she and Shiratori are brother and sister.
So rounding things off, I'm afraid I might have to call Lu Ji my godmother, or even worse, my elder aunt.
But now, my godmother wants to fall in love with me, which is a bit too cruel.
If this kind of thing can happen, then how can I face the white bird underground decades later?
You can never say:
[Oh, it’s okay, sister. From today on, we will have our own affairs. I will call you sister, and you will call me daddy.]
