Seeing her petite figure walking away quickly, the arc at the corners of his lips gradually narrowed, followed by a look of depression on his face.
His eyes were following her retreating figure, and his eyebrows were furrowed tightly. ┃- ┃
My heart was raging over what she had just said casually, and I could no longer remain calm.
Is he jealous of Brother Wang? No, no, absolutely not!
How could he be jealous? There is no way he would be jealous of Brother Wang over a woman. He is the king of a country, so he doesn't like his woman to have other men besides him in her heart. His woman can only think about him.
that is it.
However, why did he feel so weak even though he was thinking this, and there was still a panic that he couldn't suppress.
Shaking his head vigorously, his thin lips tightened into a straight line, staring at her beautiful figure, and his hands hanging on both sides closed tightly.
His chest was rising and falling irregularly, and his heartbeat was like an uncontrollable wild horse, racing so fast that he was a little overwhelmed.
His handsome eyes shrank severely, forcing himself to calm down all his thoughts.
Then, he raised his head slightly, took a deep breath of cold air, and let the biting cold wind rush into his nose, pour into his throat, and reach his heart, completely freezing him.
Finally, the bone-chilling coldness suppressed the heavy surge in my heart.
Ahead, Ke'er's figure almost disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
Although she kept walking in front, she was always paying attention to what was happening behind her.
"Strange, what is that guy doing standing there?" As she turned the corner, she glanced behind her with the corner of her eye, only to see that the man who was laughing at her for being too tired to walk not only never caught up with him, but also
He was still stuck there, as if he didn't know what he was thinking.
Pursing her pink lips, she stubbornly did not speak loudly to him.
Anyway, he was acting weird today!
behind...
Ao Chenye saw that she was about to leave his sight, and subconsciously took big steps to catch up with her.
In just a moment, his long legs caught up with hers.
He reached out and naturally wrapped his arms around her waist. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her sideways with a half-smile.
"Little cutie, I never thought you could walk quite fast with your short legs."
"I asked you, can you be more polite and stop exposing other people's shortcomings all the time? This is very immoral."
She pouted and glanced at him dejectedly.
Incidentally, she pinched the back of his hand hard.
The merciless force made Ao Chenye take a breath of pain.
"Chi..."
He bared his teeth and said: "Little cutie, when did you learn this bad habit?"
Even though it hurt a lot, he still didn't want to let her go. Her waist was so soft and slender that it couldn't even be held in a hand, but he didn't want to let her go.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to understand why some men were willing to die under peonies.
Ke'er smiled with bright eyes, raised her tender lips into a charming smile, and winked at him, pretending to be shy and charming.
"Officer, this is called beating, scolding, and love."
Her voice was sweet, her expression was blushing, and she didn't forget to give him another wink after she finished speaking.
Tsk tsk, the pretense really has a bit of flavor.
Ao Chenye raised his eyebrows, and a hint of cunning flashed through his deep black eyes.
Immediately, he bent his head and rubbed her tender earlobe, whispering: "Really? So you love me so much!"
His warm breath sprayed into her sensitive cochlea, making her shiver, and her whole body felt numb as if an electric current had passed through her.
She quickly distanced herself from him, but due to the strength of his strong arms stretched across her waist, she could only tilt her head.
There was clearly a disgusting expression on her face, but she could only continue to pretend: "Haha... you just know!"
Meow, she really shot herself in the foot. Being pushed along by him like this, she fell in love with him so much that she loved him to death.
Meow meow, what a misstep. What a misstep.
It's really aggrieved to see her looking like she's beating her chest and regretting her mistake, but she can't help but "force herself to smile".
"Hahaha……"
He couldn't help but burst into laughter.
As he laughed, white eyeballs kept coming around him, but they were just eye rolls that dared to be angry but dared not speak. The bulging and deflated little face made his laughter even more wild.
The sultry laughter echoed for a long time on the beams of the palace corridor.
…
In a remote corner of the palace, an old but tough figure stood there.
Leng Yun walked through the sparse plum forest and came to the back of the old man. Seeing that the old man seemed to be thinking about something, he didn't seem to notice his arrival.
Perhaps it should be said that I have discovered it, but I have no intention of looking back.
After waiting for a moment, he decided to break the silence.
"Elder, why do you want to see me?" He spoke in a low and respectful voice, fearing that he might disturb the other party's thoughts.
His response was a long sigh with his back turned: "Alas..."
Listening to this sigh that contained unspeakable annoyance, Leng Yun's back suddenly stiffened, and a faint uneasiness appeared on his resolute face.
"Elder, did you encounter something difficult?"
Usually, the elders' difficult problems are related to the king. Could it be that something happened to the king?
Leng Yun couldn't help but think so. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, but he didn't dare to ask rashly.
The elder was silent again for a while, then turned to face Leng Yun.
His old and gray eyebrows were raised in worry. He looked at Leng Yun sadly, collected his thoughts, and then said - "Leng Yun, have you... ever noticed that Wang is too indulgent of Miss Ke'er?"
"This..." Leng Yun hesitated, looking like he didn't know whether to say something or not.
He said that he felt sorry for Miss Kerr, and even more sorry for the oath he had sworn in front of Miss Kerr. A man should keep his promise...
However, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country...
Two thoughts were tormenting in his heart. It was no longer a temporary thing, but had already formed a tug-of-war.
Seeing Leng Yun's hesitant expression, the elder's eyes darkened sharply and he stared at Leng Yun piercingly.
"Leng Yun, although I don't know what your views are on Miss Ke'er, but as a first-class guard of the imperial court, all your actions should be based on the stability of the imperial court, otherwise you will no longer be worthy of staying in front of the imperial court."
The heavy reminder made Leng Yun's back tense again. He struggled for a while, and then his face finally showed calmness: "I know my mistake."
The elder squinted his eyes and looked at him seriously for a while, and then he spoke: "Very good, knowing your mistakes can greatly improve things. I called you here this time because I want to ask your opinion on something. After all, you are so busy with the king."
Over time, you know more about Wang’s daily life than I do.”
Having said this, the elder paused for a moment, and then continued in a somewhat heavy voice: "Little Miss Ke'er broke into the temple today..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Leng Yun was so surprised that he forgot his etiquette and blurted out: "What?! She... how could it be possible?"
The elder's eyebrows tightened even more, and he looked deeply at Leng Yun: "Even you think it's impossible... When I reported this matter to the king, the king said that he gave the dragon ring to Ke'er.
Girl, let her go anywhere."
"But although the king's dragon ring can open various enchantments, without certain skills, how can it be used at will?"
"This is what I am also doubtful about. Even if Miss Ke'er is taught magic by the king himself, it is impossible for her to learn such powerful magic in a short period of time with her mortal physique. So... Leng Yun,
To tell you the truth, I think Wang is lying to defend Bai Keer."
At the end of the speech, the elder's voice became very heavy, and the worry on his face became even deeper.
"..." Leng Yun fell silent.
Although he did not comment, it could be seen from the expression on his face that he acquiesced to the elder's words.
The two of them didn't speak anymore, but they both had worried looks on their faces.
After a while, the elder seemed to have made a decision: "Leng Yun, we must send Wang away before she goes completely crazy for Bai Ke'er. She can't stay here anymore. Otherwise, Wang is likely to repeat the old dragon king's behavior.
’s mistakes.”
Leng Yun's face stiffened again, and a faint feeling of guilt flashed through his heart. He gritted his teeth and suppressed his apology for Ke'er - "But...how can we send her away without making Wang Longyan furious?"
"I came to you to discuss this issue." The elder finally revealed his ultimate purpose.
Leng Yun thought for a while and made a suggestion hesitantly: "Perhaps... you can ask His Highness to persuade the king to send Miss Ker away personally. The King has always listened to His Highness..."
Unexpectedly, before Leng Yun finished speaking, the elder's expression immediately changed, and he glared angrily: "No! How can we beg that scoundrel! We might as well be begging ourselves to beg him!"
Regarding the elder's stubbornness, Leng Yun analyzed calmly: "Elder, please don't be angry. Please listen to me. Although we don't agree with His Highness, in the king's heart, His Highness is his only relative. The King
I have always respected His Highness very much. Moreover, if His Highness stepped forward to resolve this matter, it would be considered a meritorious deed. It can be said to be compensation for the disaster His Highness brought to Tenglong Kingdom. We are not asking for Your Highness, but
It is to give His Highness an opportunity to accumulate merit for himself."
Leng Yun carefully considered his words, making every word so that the elder would not sound disgusted.
Sure enough, after listening to Leng Yun's smooth words, the anger on the elder's face faded a little, but there was still a knot in his heart. He frowned reluctantly and said - "Then if you can't even convince that scoundrel,
Where is the king?"
"Then we can only risk the death penalty for the following crimes and send Miss Kerr out of the palace. However, the elder is an indispensable elder of our dynasty and cannot create any estrangement from the king. At that time, my subordinates... are willing to bear the responsibility of that crime independently.
