Ji Ling lived in Carlos's mansion for a few days without any danger. He tried his best to misbehave every day and made a fuss. Except for the fact that he couldn't do it except beating and killing servants, he did all the other bad things he could think of. again.
He used the rose petals carefully cultivated from the precious seeds preserved in the ancient earth in the Carlos garden to make tea, and smashed a few precious cloud crystal statues from the Sartu galaxy placed in the hall, And he accidentally burned down the entire garden during the barbecue, and sat in Carlos's study every day when he had nothing to do, sitting in Carlos's chair and reading his collection of ancient books, and from time to time he ordered his servants to help him cook delicacies from other distant galaxies …
but!
Carlos doesn't mind at all!
From the beginning to the end, he didn't even show an expression of displeasure. He even said that he would let the academician of ancient botany of the Imperial Academy of Sciences cultivate more ancient roses to make tea for his little cutie. The cloud crystals in the Sartu galaxy are not worth mentioning, I'm afraid it will hurt the little cutie's hand.
What can Ji Ling do? He is also very desperate!
Moreover, he lives here with Carlos these days, and has checked every nook and cranny here, and found nothing. As for Carlos himself, he is even more impeccable, and can't tell anything except that he is extremely fond of himself...
Ji Ling took the last remaining rose and began to tear off the petals one by one...
Carlos was reborn.
Carlos was not reborn.
Carlos was reborn.
Carlos was not reborn.
Carlos was reborn.
The system thought of everything it had witnessed these days, and couldn't bear to say: [I recently played games with my friends, but I was unlucky and kept losing, but it's okay to lose once or twice in games, as long as I can win in the end. .]
Ji Ling held back and let out a muffled voice: [What exactly do you want to express?]
Seeing that Ji Ling was finally willing to talk to him, the system hurriedly said: [I want to tell you that failure is the mother of success. Once or twice is not enough, but three or four times is okay.]
Ji Ling: […]
Once or twice is so hard, and you told me it would be three or four? Why don't you just say it countless times? This way of comforting people is really cool.
Ji Ling held back his breath: [So, time has passed for a long time, have you figured out whether they were reborn or not?]
System: [Not yet... ]
Ji Ling interrupted him with a smile: [Then why don't you explode on the spot?]
The system was silent for a moment, and held back a sentence: [A person of quality will not easily attack others personally.]
Ji Ling: [I didn't attack you easily, I've endured it for a long time, it's not 'easy' at all, really:)]
System: […] He must have lost his mind to comfort the host!
Good intentions are not rewarded, the cold war is the cold war!
— This is destined to be a fruitless mutual injury.
After Ji Ling finished beating the system, he tore off the last petal in his hand. What a pity... He was busy talking to the system just now, where did he count? !
With a dark face, he threw the bare flower branch on the ground, and stepped on it by the way.
Then go out the door.
Seeing Ji Ling coming out, the servant waiting outside said respectfully, "Master Ji Ling, what do you need?"
This servant was the one who was almost killed because he prevented Ji Ling from entering the study. He carefully looked at the handsome young man in front of him, showing respect from the bottom of his heart. Although the outside world said that Ji Ling is a dandy who does all kinds of evil, and the boy's performance looks like a dandy, but he has an inexplicable feeling for the boy in front of him in his heart.
He never imagined that one day...
Someone can face the bloody and terrifying Grand Duke Carlos so fearlessly, to protect such a humble life like him.
Rather than saying that the boy is a dandy, it is better to say that although he is willful, he is brave and kind.
What's more, with the honorable status of a young man, what's wrong with being self-willed and arrogant
Ji Ling didn't know the complex thoughts in the other party's heart. He didn't like to be served, so he said lazily, "No need."
Then walk alone in the direction of the garden.
In fact, he was thinking about how he should bid farewell to Carlos. This time, he had nothing to gain except to test Carlos' tolerance for him.
Gradually, Ji Ling also figured it out.
Regardless of whether Carlos is reborn or not, one thing will never change, that is, the struggle with Jing Sui is the most important thing for Carlos, and it is his obsession for two lifetimes. Minutiae that have nothing to do with the big picture.
In case Carlos is really reborn and feels guilty because of his help in the previous life, it is not a big deal to decide to make up for himself in this life, it is nothing more than a trick.
Presumably, when the main plot begins, he won't have time to take care of himself.
For Ji Ling, how to bring Jing Sui and Ning Yu together is the most important thing.
So... He must go to the palace banquet tomorrow night.
Tomorrow night, Jing Sui will hold a banquet in the imperial palace. In addition to many high-ranking imperial nobles, there will also be the national idol who has made great military exploits in the Naduo galaxy, the star of tomorrow Ning Yu.
Inviting military officers of civilian origin to attend the banquet of the royal family undoubtedly reflects His Majesty's emphasis on and equal treatment of civilians.
According to the experience of the previous life and the plot of the original book, now Ning Yu should have really met Jing Sui at Brandon's house. Whether it is for the purpose of winning people's hearts or because he likes it, Jing Sui will show his favor to Ning Yu at the banquet . When I attended a banquet and saw Jing Sui and Ning Yu having a great conversation together, I would be 'very jealous'. I went up to slap Ning Yu in the face but was mercilessly slapped in the face by my beloved. In the end, I completely resented Ning Yu and found fault for my next time. As a foreshadowing, it also gave Jing Sui a chance to defend Ning Yu and enhance his relationship.
Ning Yu, as a commoner of ordinary background, was able to be valued by many imperial nobles, and Jing Sui could personally show favor to him, which made many people fearful but did not dare to act rashly, which is closely related to his great prestige among the commoners.
This is the power of idols...
After all, his every move involves the situation and public opinion, no matter who wants to do anything, he should think twice before doing it. The consequences of touching a well-known national idol and touching an unknown passerby are completely different.
Although Ning Yu's identity pushed him to the forefront and became an important pawn in the game of all parties, it was also the greatest protection for him.
Only the original owner of his own body, a fool with a love brain, would go up to trouble Ning Yu passionately because of a trivial matter. It is inevitable that he will end up miserable, and he will be a cannon fodder. Of course, it was Ji Ling who replaced the original owner now, so the matter of looking for trouble naturally fell on Ji Ling.
Thinking of this, Ji Ling kicked the stone at his feet, sighed quietly, and said goodbye to Carlos when he came back later, since he couldn't figure out his purpose, at worst, he would stay away from here.
He will not give up just because of an accident!
... ... ...
When Carlos came back from the outside, he immediately saw a boy sitting on a stone bench with his chin in a daze, his eyes couldn't help but a soft color appeared.
The boy stays here these days, and he can see his vivid expression, flamboyant eyes, and wanton smile at any time... The boy's kindness cannot be concealed at all. No matter how arrogant he is, he has never hurt anyone. This time Carlos It is even more clearly seen.
The boy is like a burning star, every move warms his cold heart.
The closer you get, the more attracted you will be...
In my last life, how could I have the heart to hurt him like this
The pain in Carlos' eyes flashed away, and he walked up to Ji Ling, showing a gentle and kind expression, with a low voice and a smile: "What are you thinking?"
Ji Ling didn't notice that Carlos came back just now because he was distracted. The only thing he gained these days is that he knows how he will not anger Carlos. Carlos tolerates him more than he imagined The taller I was, the less afraid I gradually became, and I became more courageous.
Thinking of what was in his heart, Ji Ling's lips moved slightly: "Uncle Carlos."
Carlos's eyes were soft, and he signaled him to say whatever he had in his eyes.
Ji Ling paused, looked at him and said seriously: "I've been living here for several days, and I want to go home."
Carlos didn't have any strong reaction. It seemed that everything was in his expectation. He raised his hand and touched Ji Ling's head, and asked gently, "Why? Are you unhappy living here?"
Ji Ling turned his head away a little uncomfortable, why does Carlos always like to do such intimate actions recently? He doesn't want to be patted on the head by Carlos at all, okay? Ji Zhinan Ling, who didn't know that he had lost his first kiss, felt that Carlos, an old fox, was acting weird recently, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
But he didn't think about it, but blinked his eyes and said: "No, it's me..." His cheeks were flushed, his eyes showed a longing and shy look, and he bit his lips and said: "Tomorrow my father is going to the palace to attend a banquet. I also want to go together."
The excuse of farewell was prepared before he came, he was going to leave here and go to the palace to meet his sweetheart!
Who knew that as soon as the words fell, Carlos, who had always been gentle and doting on him these days, had a cold look in his eyes, and a icy aura exuded from his whole body.
Ji Ling has long been used to the Carlos who never seems to get angry. Suddenly seeing him showing such a scary side, he couldn't help being startled, and looked at Carlos in surprise, not knowing what he said wrong.
Carlos took a deep breath, looked at the boy's puzzled and terrified eyes, and realized that he hadn't controlled his emotions just now and might have frightened the boy, but at that moment just now, the uncontrollable jealousy and pain in his chest entangled his body like vines. In his heart, there were bursts of depressed emotions, which made him almost unable to hide it.
He knew why Ji Ling wanted to enter the palace, the answer was obvious, because this way he could see Jing Sui.
He invited Ji Ling to stay at his house for a while, and didn't mention anything about the palace banquet, just hoping that the young man would forget about it.
Not wanting to see him, the boy continued to approach that person like a moth to a flame.
But in the end, I still can't avoid it. My own existence and all my efforts... are not enough to offset Jing Sui's position in Ji Ling's heart. It can't compare to Jing Sui's eyes or words.
He is just an elder he respects, but Jing Sui is the one he really loves with all his might.
Even if you change yourself, you can't change the trajectory of your destiny.
There was no way to keep Ji Ling from seeing him.
Thinking of the two meeting soon, thinking of the boy's eyes full of love, he will look at another man unreservedly, and he will still be infatuated with the wrong love... All this makes Carlos feel jealous and painful.
Carlos, who was born with everything, this is the first time he has tasted the feeling of jealousy and wanting nothing in a person.
The fact that I approached him so cautiously and pampered him was just to make the young man less afraid of him... But Jing Sui could easily get everything he could not have dreamed of.
Ji Ling looked at Carlos cautiously. The man's elegant face was covered with a thin layer of frost, and his eyes were as dark as a bottomless abyss. It seemed that some terrible emotions were brewing, gloomy...
He thought with trepidation, why did Carlos suddenly change his face, could it be related to Jing Sui? !
Speaking of which, Jing Sui is his lifelong enemy. In the last life, Carlos was defeated by Jing Sui, so he was scarred, right? With Carlos's arrogance, Jing Sui must be the only one who can change his face! It turns out that Jing Sui is Ni Lin who cannot be mentioned in front of Carlos...
The more Ji Ling thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He suspected that Carlos was reborn again, and he hated Jing Sui even more because of his failure in the previous life. But fear is fear, he must go to this banquet, so he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Uncle Carlos, what's wrong with you?"
Carlos slowly came back to his senses, looked into the boy's eyes, suppressed the pain in his heart little by little, the gloomy look in his eyes surged and then disappeared, and finally only the complex and profound that could not be seen was left.
After a long time, it seemed that some decision had finally been made.
He said slowly: "If it's just this matter, there's no need to go back specially."
Ji Ling looked at him suspiciously.
Carlos raised his thin lips slightly, looked deeply at Ji Ling, and said, "I can take you there too."
... ... ...
Because Carlos himself promised to bring him to the banquet, Ji Ling really had no excuse to insist on leaving, so he had to stay at Carlos' house and pray that tomorrow would be smoother.
The next day Ji Ling just got up, rubbed his eyes and sat up on the bed, and saw the servants bringing in the prepared clothes respectfully, and when he was about to help Ji Ling change, Carlos walked in and said lightly: " You go out, let me come."
Ji Ling: "..."
He looked at the servants who left in a hurry, and wished he could offer Erkang his hand to keep them! But in the end, reason overcame the impulse, and innocently opened his eyes and looked at Carlos without saying a word.
Carlos looked at the bewildered look in the young man's eyes. Love, jealousy and other emotions intertwined in his heart, concealing the complex emotions in his eyes. He picked up the clothes and walked to Ji Ling's side, with a gentle voice: "This is the clothes I specially selected for you. Yes, it should suit you well."
Ji Ling stared in horror at the well-dressed villain who was going to help him change his clothes. After hesitating and struggling for a long time, he finally chose Congxin.
Opening his arms obediently, he changed into the clothes Carlos was holding.
Carlos lowered his eyes slightly, his slender fingers pinched the exquisite gemstone buttons, and helped Ji Ling fasten them one by one, and stretched out his hand to smooth the wrinkles on his shoulders. From this angle, you can see the looming collarbone, which is beautiful and fragile... Carlos paused slightly, fastened the last button, then let go and took a step back.
He looked at the boy in front of him.
The boy was wearing a white dress inlaid with gold trim, with dark blue gemstone buttons lining his blue eyes. The slim fit wrapped his slender body, and his short golden hair was combed softly to one side, perfect and noble... like It is the little prince who walked out of the painting.
And like a pure and flawless angel, standing in front of him defenseless.
Carlos' Adam's Apple twitched, and after a while, he bent down and stretched out his hand to Ji Ling, staring at him with elegant and deep eyes, and slightly parted his thin lips: "It's time for us to go."
Ji Ling hesitated for a moment, then put his hand into Carlos's, and was led out by him in a daze.
Not long after, the hover car stopped at the gate of the palace.
The imperial palace is the highest symbol of power in the entire empire. Although after years of development, the empire has a fairly complete political system, with military departments and parliaments to check and balance the rights of the royal family, the emperor is still recognized by everyone as the supreme ruler of the empire. But in fact, the power of each emperor is inseparable from his own strength.
A powerful emperor will have more right to speak, while a weak emperor will be mercilessly divided by the nobles.
Although Jing Sui has been on the throne for less than ten years, there is no doubt that he is a powerful emperor. Not only does he have the super strength of an SSS-level evolutionary, but also his ruthless and decisive skills make him a firm foothold among the many nobles who are eyeing tigers. And after joining Brandon, it posed a great threat to Carlos.
He wants to break the status quo of the empire for thousands of years and change the relationship between nobles and commoners.
This is destined to be not an easy task. It requires not only ability, but also great courage, and Jing Sui happens to have both. He is the existence with the most powerful protagonist halo in this book!
Ji Ling looked up at the gate of the palace, which was almost towering into the sky. Thinking of today's plot and what will happen next, he calmed down and walked in.
Various celebrities and nobles shuttled around, and when they saw Carlos and Ji Ling who was following him, they all saluted respectfully and said hello.
Ji Ling was well-behaved on the surface, but his eyes moved slightly. He had to find a chance to leave Carlos and act alone. After all, Carlos was too eye-catching to do the task by himself. And with Carlos by his side... Ning Yu can only be beaten passively, how can he complete today's "slapped in the face" plot
Carlos must be thrown away!
In view of the tightness that Carlos had on him during this period, Ji Ling was a little worried. Fortunately, he finally waited for a suitable opportunity. Lieutenant General Hawke and several other well-dressed nobles came to welcome Carlos.
Ji Ling took the opportunity to speak and said, "Uncle Carlos, you go ahead, I'll just go in by myself."
He thought that Carlos would not agree, and when he was even about to use his father as an excuse, he saw Carlos show him a gentle smile and said, "Okay."
Ji Ling was taken aback, why did Carlos suddenly agree so readily...
But he didn't think much, finally he could get rid of Carlos! So he pulled away in surprise and left, Jing Sui should have met Ning Yu by now, right
Carlos remained motionless, tightened his hand holding the cane, and looked at the back of Ji Ling leaving in a hurry, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a dark and cold color flashed across his pupils.
Go for it.
Go and see for yourself how ruthless the person you love is.
And you will eventually come back to me.
... ... ...
Ji Ling followed his memory to the palace, walked through the gorgeous garden corridor, passed the beautiful pool fountain, and finally saw the tall, black-haired and golden-eyed man under the shade of a tree.
He hurriedly hid quietly behind a big tree, took a deep breath and looked over again.
The man has a handsome face like a god, with long black hair draped behind his back, under his straight eyebrows, his golden pupils glow with a cool light, so fierce that people dare not look directly at them, his lips are pale and thin, The bridge of the nose is high, and even standing there motionless, it still looks extravagant and has a strong sense of presence that no one can ignore.
He is the hero of this book, the current supreme ruler of the empire—Emperor Jing Sui!
