Chapter 57 – Her Shadow

“There are many reasons. Jin Xing’s hands are already useless, which is one of the reasons.”

Lan Zhen waved his hand rudely: “You know I won’t mind!” He looked at Jin Xing stubbornly, like a wild beast: “The relationship between you and me is like a brother. I have never regarded you as a subordinate. Your servant, but a true brother!”

“You made this request today, and as Jun and Ying, I can chop off your head.”

“If you can’t give an explanation that I’m satisfied with, Jin Xing, I’m not finished with you today.”

Hearing Lan Zhen’s threatening words without a deterrent tone, Jin Xing’s heart warmed instead: “Your Majesty… Xue Ting is dead.”

Lan Zhen was silent and did not speak.

“Xue Ting died, and died right before my eyes. It was a task that you personally entrusted to you, Your Majesty.”

“In the past ten years, I have always been thinking: If ten years ago, I persuaded Your Majesty to accept Xue Ting and even make her a queen, maybe things would have been different.”

“Xue Ting doesn’t have to be afraid. She has been raising her child by a woman for ten years.”

“So although I didn’t show it, I am quite willing to accept this task entrusted to me by Your Majesty. It seems to make up for my cowardice ten years ago.”

“But, she died. And she died under my protection, Your Majesty, can you imagine how I feel?”

“Then, I found Xue Ting and His Majesty’s daughter. I traveled all the way to the Blue Imperial City, and we were attacked many times along the way. The most dangerous one, I was seriously injured. In the end, it was Your Highness… Mingxin The princess saved me.”

Jin Xing stood up, no longer like the shadow under the sun.

Instead, he really stood up and looked at Lan Zhen: “The debt I owe to their mother and daughter will never be repaid even in the next lifetime.”

“Your Majesty, please fulfill Jin Xing. Jin Xing will spend the rest of his life being the shadow of Princess Mingxin. Protect her from any harm.”

“Please, Your Majesty, give Jin Xing’s life to the princess.”

Quanqing Palace, Imperial Garden.

The four seasons are like spring in the Quanqing Palace, and the seasons seem to be lost here. No matter the four seasons, flowers and plants will appear here. The Imperial Garden was originally a huge treasure house of heaven and earth. I don’t know how many precious tattoos are found everywhere here.

There was a joke once that if a thief entered the Quanqing Palace, as long as he picked up some flowers and plants in the imperial garden, he would be a tyrant if he went out.

Lan Mingxin walked among the imperial gardens, followed by a palace maid who respectfully followed.

You must know that it took Lan Mingxin half an hour to convince the maid not to change her clothes.

It’s just that the man relies on his clothes, he changed into a splendid palace uniform, and he took off the head that Xue Ting took off, and his soft blue short, fox-like small eyes were blinking blue. It looks more pleasing to the eye.

She was a little timid, but still couldn’t help looking around curiously. She only felt that she had gone to a fairyland-like place, such a place where spring blossoms and hundreds of flowers bloomed, making her feel like she was in a dream. Just thinking that she came to such a place after her mother died, her excited heart was not so excited.

A gust of wind blew past, and the shoulder-length shorts blew gently.

The maid behind her immediately gave a blessing: “See the prince.”

In front of Lan Mingxin, a young man appeared at an unknown time. The boy waved at the palace maid: “Retreat.”

“Yes, Prince.”

The two looked at each other. Although Lan Mingxin was taller because of the girl, the boy in front of him was obviously a few years older than Lan Mingxin, so the two looked about the same height.

“Hey, are you my sister?” Lan Zha blinked her eyes, showing a very interesting look. Lan Mingxin lowered her head and dared not speak like a frightened bird, as if her toes had an endless sky, which made her look at her for a lifetime.

“Hey, I’m talking to you.” Lan Zha shouted again, and the conversation with Lan Mingxin made him very interesting. Who dared to ignore him like this before? And the little sister who saw herself fighting and making trouble… I don’t think about it anymore, I have a headache when I think about it.

Hearing Lan Zha shouting again, Lan Mingxin took two steps back subconsciously.

thump.

Her back footsteps came to an abrupt halt as she bumped into a body.

“Ah, it hurts.”

A somewhat careless voice sounded.

Lan Ming turned his head subconsciously, only to see a young man standing behind her at an unknown time. Compared to himself and the boy who was called the prince in front of him, the person in front of him was too ordinary. He was wearing an ordinary gray gown without any decoration, and the hem of the robe was also long and loose, which was a bit nondescript on this teenager.

In this lush imperial garden, the appearance of this young man was like a mistake. It is like a fly on a delicious dish full of color and fragrance; it is like a stain in a majestic landscape painting; it is more like a mass of excrement in the royal garden that is like spring all year round!

But it was the appearance of this young man that made Lan Mingxin feel inexplicably at ease.

Before wearing this palace uniform, was she a dirty child with a snail-shell-like package on her back?

It’s a wonderful feeling, like finding the same feeling of being a human companion on a desert island full of tattooed beasts.

Therefore, she subconsciously shrank behind the man and let Lan Zha stand facing him.

Lan Zhan’s brows furrowed.

He hates this kid.

He was obviously a few years younger than him, but he looked at him with the eyes of an adult. This look made him uncomfortable.

For a long time, as long as he told his mother that he didn’t like the **** or the palace maid, those people he didn’t like would “disappear”, which made him very happy. But this person in front of him is an exception. Even if he complains to his mother, the mother will only tell him how to be patient and patient.

But he didn’t like the guy very much, very much.

“Get out of the way, good dogs don’t stand in the way.” Lan Zha frowned and shouted.

The boy’s expression was still flat and gentle, like a river of spring water. Even if this sentence is like throwing a pebble on this calm lake, it still can’t stir up its ripples: “A good dog naturally doesn’t block the road, but what about a bad dog? Besides, I’m not a dog.”

He stretched out his hand at will, and a pair of snow-white jade-like hands stretched out from between the gray robes.

One of the hands is holding a short knife.

Just as he stretched out his hand, a figure appeared in front of Lan Zha at an unknown time, blocking the gap between the gray-robed boy and Lan Zha. It was also a young man who appeared. It’s just that he was dressed in black, and his breath was gloomy and uncomfortable.

“Don’t be nervous.” The gray-robed boy smiled, his other hand sticking out, but a piece of wood the size of a palm. Holding the knife in his right hand, he quickly stirred it on the wood held in his left hand. In the blink of an eye, a puppy the size of a palm appeared in the palm of his hand.

The puppy landed on all fours, but barked forward. Although it was only carved from a piece of wood, it was as lifelike and straight as a living thing! The gray-robed boy turned his head and handed the puppy to Lan Mingxin: “For you.”

Lan Mingxin happily took it, his eyes narrowed into two arcs with a smile, like a little fox: “Thank you.”
