Leng Yiyao had already turned her head, but now she saw that Lu Chen's eyes seemed to be falling on a certain position behind her, moving slowly, her heart moved, and she turned her head. Sure enough, someone was coming to cause trouble.
Kings? Kemp looked at Leng Yiyao, then at the eldest prince and Zhai Mu who were standing beside her, frowned, and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he asked Leng Yiyao, "Are you leaving now?" She was a day student, or the day student whom General Lu Sen greeted. Of course he could guess that she had a good background. However, just after dinner, it was a bit too much to go all out to pick her up like this
"Yeah." She looked up at the sky. It was almost dark. With the attitude of Zhai Mu and Lu Chen today, she didn't bother to go back to the playground, so she just took the car and left.
"Just in time, take me along with you." He suddenly turned his head and smiled, looking into her eyes. The depth and flashiness disappeared, making people suddenly unable to understand his thoughts.
"Are you leaving too?" Today, Saturday, he is covered in injuries and is staying in the medical room. Why should he leave
"I have something to do. I just want to go back." He took a step forward and leaned over, almost touching her face. "Why, is it inconvenient?" The last three words almost disappeared from the lips. The key is that the slightly raised voice had a hint of ridicule, and the feeling of yuppie was completely born.
Lu Chen's eyes turned cold, and he immediately moved forward, pulling Leng Yiyao further behind him: "Just talk, why are you standing so close?"
"This really means that only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the common people are not allowed to light lamps. Your Highness, you were not far away from her just now when you spoke to her, right?" Jins? Kemp suddenly raised his head and glanced lazily at Lu Chen. The two people's gazes were clearly not full of fire and wantonness, but the people watching the show behind them all started to sweat on their backs.
What's wrong with this school bully? Are you going to start a fight with His Highness Lu Chen
"Do you need to care about the posture I use when talking to her?" Lu Chen sneered, pulling Leng Yiyao to stand further aside: "You have only known her for a few days, how dare you talk to me like this?"
"Is it normal for you, a prince, to stand in front of the military academy?" In terms of talking skills, Jins? Kemp fears no one at all. Besides, at first glance, Lu Chen looked like someone who had never been in the market since he was a child. Do you think that using his aura and status to overwhelm others would cause him to become intimidated? He thought too simply.
"Are you all free?" Leng Yiyao waited for a minute, thinking they would say something constructive, but the two of them acted like lunatics, caring about who was closer to her. Hahaha, her time is precious and she is too lazy to be verbose. "If you have free time, please go aside and chat slowly."
Turn around and walk directly towards Zhai Mu. Zhai Mu smiled from beginning to end and seemed to enjoy the scene in front of him.
"Unexpectedly, I haven't seen her for a few days, but the market has gone up." He teasingly opened the car door for her, covering her head slightly, and then got into the driver's seat. As for Lu Chen, he had already gone to Shengde High School to confess his feelings to Leng Yiyao last time, but he could not be colder than this person and rejected him directly. I thought that the other party would care about his identity and face. Who knows? I have no intention of backing down at all. It's good now, it's only been two days since I arrived at the military academy, and another overlord-like figure has arrived. However, this person seemed a bit familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere, but unfortunately he couldn't remember it at the moment.
"You just saw the market rise," Leng Yiyao rolled his eyes speechlessly. Do you think she is human flesh? "Next time I'll take you directly to the night market and see if anyone comes over to give you a price."
Zhai Mu paused and thought to himself, when it comes to talking skills, this is the teacher.
"Leng Yiyao." Unexpectedly, the car had started, and Lu Chen stood there, looking quietly at her window, and called again.
This time, even Zhai Mu's expression changed slightly. It seemed that he didn't come to pick her up from school for no reason, it was really something. Kings? Kemp's face also became subtle. If His Highness Lu Chen was most famous in the entire empire for his extravagance, then his arrogance and wildness were also a very famous label for him. However, tonight, when facing Leng Yiyao, in addition to tenderness in his eyes, the unconsciously softened expression vaguely contained other meanings, which made it increasingly difficult for people to understand.
"Are you driving with Jins? Kemp, I'll go to him first and come to you when we get to the intersection at the foot of the mountain." Leng Yiyao thought for two seconds and whispered to Zhai Mu.
Zhai Mu shrugged, but it didn't mean anything. Only when he heard Leng Yiyao say "Jins? Camp", his eyes flashed. The eldest son of the Jins Group? Sure enough, it came from an extraordinary place. No wonder he dared to confront Lu Chen.
"Bang—"
Leng Yiyao opened the car door by herself and walked slowly to Jins? In front of Kemp and Lu Chen, he first raised his head to the former: "Didn't you say you wanted to go with me? You get in the SUV."
how about you
The same question appeared in the eyes of the two men at the same time.
"I'll get in your car. If you need anything, let me know on the way." She didn't pause, nodded directly to Lu Chen, and then walked directly towards his global limited-edition luxury car.
For a moment, people in the distance were stunned by this decisive and shocking scene.
With three men, it was clearly going to be a big show!
This Leng Yiyao actually resolved the issue with just a few words
The key is to leave no room for others to refute. Everyone's responsibilities were divided directly into one, two and three. As soon as the handsome guy became the driver, His Highness Lu Chen embraced the beauty. Oh, hey, he can give Leng Yiyao a ride for the time being, and then he will become the school's top king. Si? Kemp was packed and placed directly on Junyi Handsome Guy 1's car.
Young lady, goddess, regardless of your intimidating power, aren’t you afraid that handsome guy Yi’s car will never be able to drive out of this mountain
Didn’t you see the school bully’s expression change
"What? You changed your mind and don't want to leave again?" Leng Yiyao looked up in the coldness and looked at Jins? Kemp took one look and thought to herself, if this guy did something again, she really wouldn't mind beating him up again. From last night to today, I have followed her once or twice. How come there are so many things
"No objection!" These three words were almost squeezed out of his mouth! He watched angrily as Leng Yiyao got into Lu Chen's car with a calm expression. The experts in the car seemed to be particularly respectful to her, and even bowed their heads and got out of the car one by one, saluting her first.
When did such a mysterious woman appear in the empire
He got into Zhai Mu's car with confusion on his face. Naturally, he was sitting in the back seat, really treating him as a full-time driver.
Zhai Mu looked away and said nothing. The car started slowly, but the two people's realizations flashed across the rearview mirror at the same time. :
"Let's go, we don't have much time. If you have anything to do, just say it." She was in a good mood after finishing the beef hot pot, but was being watched by people at the school gate as a good show, and she was starting to feel a little uncomfortable. See you above. After getting out of the car, Lu Chen didn't even speak, but his expression was a bit unsatisfactory.
Lu Chen paused for a moment, then cleared up the expression on his face, took out a gilded invitation letter from his arms, and handed it over: "At the beginning of next month, it will be the most grand event of the royal family every year. I hope you can come then. .”
Leng Yiyao opened the exquisite sealed package and took out the invitation letter, her expression slightly moved: "Masquerade?"
"Yes," Lu Chen smiled: "This is an exclusive event for the royal family with a history of more than three hundred years. Every year to celebrate the golden autumn, all the famous nobles in the imperial capital are specially invited to participate. It is the most famous dance in the empire."
Golden autumn is a metaphor for good harvest and good blessings. Since the earliest days of society, the annual Golden Autumn Festival has been the grandest moment of celebration. In order to inspire people, the royal family specially set up masquerade balls. Today, it has become a traditional custom. It is the biggest annual event for the royal family.
"Besides inviting me, who else did you invite?" She suddenly raised the corners of her lips, and the looseness and dissatisfaction in her eyes disappeared instantly. At this moment, her dark eyes reflected the stars outside the window, just like a ghost that captured people's hearts, erratic but alluring. Heart and soul.
"My uncles will naturally bear the brunt." He put away the smile on his face, and the killing intent in his eyes flashed away.
At this moment, the smell of blood seemed to be solidifying in the air.
The scene where his grandfather's plane burst into flames and exploded in front of him was replayed in the commotion. It was a curse that he carried in his heart. If the real culprit was not brought to justice, he would not be able to return to normal for a day.
Leng Yiyao looked at him slowly. It seemed that his temperament had changed since the last time they met. It wasn't so obvious, but unknowingly, the dark side in his heart was gradually enlarging.
She never thought that good people could always exist in the world. After all, as the saying goes, "Good people don't live long, and harm will last forever." She herself was not a simple good person, and neither was Helmer. However, Lu Chen's psychological changes came from Too much impact is not a good thing for his personality.
However, a person can never have smooth sailing all his life. Reshaping in adversity and despair is his ultimate destiny.
"Okay, I will be there on time." She nodded and put the invitation aside.
"Put me down at the intersection at the bottom of the mountain. I'll go back with Zhai Mu's car." She said with a normal expression. Unfortunately, the atmosphere in the car suddenly cooled down.
"Why? It's the same if I send you back." Lu Chen didn't understand why she obviously wanted to distance herself from him now. Is it because of Zhai Mu or... Hemo
"It's not convenient for you to go to where I live." She supported her chin with one hand and put the other on the leather sofa, looking at him quietly, really patiently answering his questions.
"Where do you live..." As soon as he said this, he paused. How could he forget that Frey said in front of his father that Leng Yiyao's residence was arranged by Helmer himself. So, she was avoiding suspicion because of Hemo
"As a girl, if you go to Shengde High School from Monday to Thursday, and then go to the military academy on Friday and Saturday, your body will be overwhelmed." He took a deep breath and changed the topic.
"It doesn't matter, this is what I asked for." Anyway, I still got a day of free time. Thinking about it, I can do whatever I want all day tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it.
Looking at Leng Yiyao's leisurely and relaxed face, Lu Chen was so angry that his heart ached. He was really looking for abuse, so he was angered by her again and again, and he came to her willingly.
"By the way, there is something wrong with the design drawings of the airport. I will send it to you by email tonight. Remember to check it. How to check it specifically. You can arrange it and contact me if you have any news." She remembered that when she was looking through the drawings that night, she saw There was something wrong with a few places I arrived. I turned around and suddenly said to him.
He nodded, his eyes straight: "Okay."
She originally wanted to say that even if she was investigating a case at the airport, she should pay more attention to her own safety, but before she could say anything, an SUV suddenly passed by and parked at the intersection in front of her, taking it seriously.
"Here we are, I'll get out of the car first. Call me if you need anything." She smiled lightly and motioned to the captain of the guard who was sitting in the driver's seat to stop. The guard glanced at Lu Chen nonchalantly and saw that he had no objection, so he turned the steering wheel and stopped next to the SUV.
Leng Yiyao got out of the car and walked directly towards the SUV, "Jins?" Kemp had already opened the back seat door first, obviously not planning to let her sit in the front. Faced with this move, Zhai Mu just raised his eyebrows, and Leng Yiyao didn't comment and got into the car directly.
"It's cold at night. You wear so little. Be careful of catching a cold." Because it was too cold at night in the mountains, Zhai Mu turned on the air conditioner in advance. When he saw Leng Yiyao getting in the car, wearing thin clothes and a pale face, he couldn't help but say more. One sentence.
"Brother, how old are you this year?" Leng Yiyao hasn't spoken yet, Jins? Kemp scoffed first. Those who can attend the military academy have extraordinary physical abilities. Leng Yiyao could knock him out in ten minutes. Would he be afraid of the temperature
Leng Yiyao looked at Jins strangely? Kemp glanced at him, and there was something wrong with this man tonight! Something is very wrong!
Zhai Mu is at most two or three years older than them. This man said "big brother" as if he was deliberately reminding him of his grade. Did he eat explosives in his mouth tonight
"How did you get to know such a person..." Crazy! Zhai Mu's temples moved. Before Leng Yiyao got in the car, he and Jins? Kemp had been keeping quiet, but now that the man opened his mouth, he wanted to point his gun directly at that mouth. Does he look very old
"Don't worry about him, just leave him when we get to the downtown area." Leng Yiyao was speechless, thinking that there were so many men, they were no different from crows. How could this man be so arrogant yesterday? Why did his attributes immediately change when he turned around today? At night, he talks the most.
"Leng Yiyao, are you treating the wounded like this?" He looked back at her in disbelief and threw him out of the car? I have never been so embarrassed in my life! The key is, she was still in front of this man!
"I see you can eat, drink, and climb over walls. It's pretty good. Who was injured?" For ordinary people, the attack she did yesterday would have kept her in the medical room for at least a hundred days. This person is quite good. , he dared to run to her dormitory with a bandage on that night. He should be thankful that she was willing to take him for a ride!
This time, it’s Kings’ turn? Kemp was furious. He looked at her with an expression that looked like a fairy from heaven. Could she think that he was really just along for the ride, so she wanted to hitch a ride? With just a casual phone call, he could have armored vehicles, tanks, and other vehicles immediately delivered to him. Would he care about this broken SUV? She is a girl. Is it safe to follow a man at night
About Kings? Kemp's expression was so vivid that Zhai Mu finally vaguely felt something. He glanced slightly at Leng Yiyao's eyes and saw her holding her hands casually and looking at the scenery outside the window. What about Jins? Kemp's actions turned a deaf ear, and he suddenly shook his head sympathetically. Lu Chen has just left, and here comes the eldest young master of the Jinjin Group. This woman is always full of love wherever she goes...
However, calling him a wounded person is really not a stretch. Judging from the appearance of the cast, there are probably traces of fractures all over the body. As far as he knew, the successor that the Kings Group had worked so hard to cultivate had extraordinary abilities and was extremely low-key within the group. He rarely moved around. Who could beat him like this in the confines of a military academy
Suddenly I had a guess in my mind, but I thought it was unlikely. If it was really her, how could the Leng family get her reputation like that in the first place? But in his mind, the image of her being seriously injured, with her abdomen dripping with blood, but still directly killing two raped thugs, flashed through his mind. For a moment, the fog was so thick that he fell into an unprecedented confusion. .
"You are really big-hearted." Jins? Kemp sneered, almost applauding her courage. Who did she think he was? With this look back home, will the whole family easily let the culprit go
"Thank you, I'll take it as a compliment." Leng Yiyao smiled at him with a good mood: "We have arrived at the city center."
"Bang—"
Kings? After Kemp got out of the car, he closed the door. Judging from the force, he probably really made Leng Yiyao very angry.
The two people in the car didn't say anything, they just drove a little farther away, changed direction, and suddenly stopped in an obscure corner.
She leaned back comfortably on the seat, and he took out a cigarette from his pocket and slowly lit it. There was clearly no communication between the two of them, but their eyes fell on Jins at the end of the street at the same time? On Kemp.
Sure enough, within two minutes, a bulletproof heavy-duty assembly vehicle had stopped at his feet.
At this moment, Kings? Kemp's expressions of joy and anger had completely subsided. When he saw the astonished looks of the driver and bodyguards, he got into the car with a cold face, pointed in the direction where they had just disappeared and said, "Follow." The car quickly disappeared in the distance. It turned out that on their route, they disappeared in an instant.
"How can you provoke such a person?" Zhai Mu had just smoked half of a cigarette, and his eyes seemed to be filled with smoke. He turned his head, looked at Leng Yiyao's calm expression, and shook his head helplessly.
"He got it on his own." When she was looking for someone to establish her authority, she didn't pick anyone at all. He came to the stage himself. Leaving tonight is also a ride he wants to take. What does everything have to do with her
Zhai Mu shook his head helplessly and said that this woman was cold and cold, and no one or anything could stir up a ripple in her.
In the empire's famous arms world, the rows of ammunition and weapons at home could almost blow up small border countries. The kings who had been stockpiled in the hail of bullets were so worthless in front of her
"He has a locator on him, and he can instantly announce his movements from any corner of the world." Mobile phones are not allowed in the military academy. He has not made any contact with the outside world since he got in the car, so this is the only explanation.
Leng Yiyao opened the car window, took a breath of fresh air, and nodded: "Probably."
Children of big families, especially those from a family like his who walk on the edge of black and white, are most afraid that their children will not be able to grow up safely. For enemies and competitors, things like kidnapping, vendetta, and vendetta are too common. Guess? What Kemp had in him was far beyond their expectations.
"What now? Where to go?" He originally wanted to go to the night market and stay at the military academy for two days. It must be boring. Who knows, but she nodded, "Go back to the villa."
It's still early in the evening, so I just have time to practice some physical fitness. She remembered that there seemed to be a gym in the villa, which would come in handy.
Zhai Mu paused for two seconds before responding: "Okay."
Did the car change its route to avoid Gangjins? Kemp and the others were looking directly towards the villa area. That night, neither Zhai Mu nor Leng Yiyao mentioned a word about the gold-plated invitation letter in her hand.
In the evening, Lu Chen returned to his residence, but was blocked by Captain Lu. "Your Majesty invites you to see me!" It was a straightforward sentence that did not give him any time to ask.
Lu Chen was stunned. Since the last time they broke up on bad terms, his father had rarely summoned him, but this time he would be looking for him so late.
"Do you know what's going on?" he asked Guard Captain Lu as he walked quickly towards his father's palace.
Guard Lu's eyebrows were heavy, but he shook his head and didn't say much. Since it was discovered that the "accident" at the airport was related to the royal family, he would not say a word unless it was absolutely necessary.
As the truth has not yet been fully determined, everyone knows what will happen to those who talk too much.
Lu Chen's face darkened slightly, but he did not embarrass him. He immediately quickened his pace and passed by the palace gate guard.
"Father, are you looking for me?" During the salute, he lowered his eyebrows and held his breath, his expression calm.
"I heard that you went to the military academy in the evening." The man sitting in the seat had a hoarse voice that sounded like an old man's vicissitudes of life and wisdom. It's just that the coldness in his words has long lost the joyful tone he once had.
Lu Chen took a deep breath and bent his waist: "Yes, go and send an invitation to Leng Yiyao."
"Do you believe her so much? You would even invite her to such an occasion?" I probably didn't expect him to admit so generously. The emperor coughed, causing his whole body to tremble slightly. He pointed his index finger at him, his expression getting even more ugly: "You know Don’t know what you’re doing?”
"I know." Lu Chen bent down a little deeper, but his expression no longer looked as frightened as before. Since when, he no longer has too many emotional fluctuations in his repeated accusations against his father. In the past, it was clear that as long as his father frowned, he would feel that he had done something stupid again, but now, it doesn't happen anymore. Since his grandfather passed away, he has seen through many things.
It's just that there are some things that God knows, earth knows, and you just know in your heart, and there is no need to say them out.
"This year's masquerade is completely different from previous years! Don't you know! She is a businessman's daughter. What are you planning to do by inviting her here?" The emperor's face turned red with anger when he saw his son's calm face. , the coughs became louder and louder, and the face of Guard Captain Lu became more and more ugly. Just when he was about to call the imperial doctor in, the emperor waved him away with one hand, "Go down, I have something to say to him alone."
This is something unprecedented. Ever since Captain Lu became loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, the Emperor has not shied away from anything for decades. However, since Lu Chen came back from D City, many things seem to have become more and more disconnected. track.
"Yes." Guard Captain Lu lowered his head, covering up all the darkness in his eyes, bowed slightly, and walked out of the palace step by step.
"Come here!" Only the father and son were left in the large, empty room.
The emperor suddenly waved his hand and asked Lu Chen to step forward.
Lu Chen walked up without hesitation, and then half-crouched at his feet.
"Have you thought about it? This masquerade is not only a golden autumn ceremony, but also has another meaning, do you understand?" The emperor's voice became lower and less angry, like an old man who suddenly became quiet and looked tiredly. Looking at his ignorant son, although he was angry, there was nothing he could do.
"I know. I have reached the age to choose a concubine. My mother-in-law once mentioned it to me." Lu Chen raised his head and looked at his father quietly: "This year, the royal family is in turmoil and needs a grand good news to calm those impetuous people. Things were completely suppressed.”
There is nothing more explosive than the news that the prince has chosen his concubine.
Soon, prestigious ladies in the imperial capital will receive invitations. As for the content, it is nothing more than celebrating the arrival of golden autumn as usual. However, the eyes behind each family will select and check the invitations one by one, and finally determine the real target.
This is a feast that does not need to be publicized by the royal family, but everyone knows it well.
Only that girl... .
A flash of helplessness flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.
The moment Leng Yiyao accepted his invitation, there was not even a pause. When asked who he would invite, he subconsciously left out the ladies and beauties.
"Is she worth all your efforts?" The old hand gently held his forehead, just like when he used to coax him to sleep when he was a child, and it was as warm as before.
Lu Chen lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "In so many years, I have only met such a person. I'm afraid if I don't take action, it will be too late." From her residence, school, and life, that person has unknowingly penetrated into her. All the time, although he couldn't guess whether the person who was rumored to have never been close to women suddenly had his thoughts, but if it was true, he would, no matter what, take advantage of the other party before he succeeded!
"This masquerade is destined to be unsettling. Are you sure she can survive?" They knew exactly how and why Lu Chen's grandfather died. Nowadays, in the royal ceremony, except for the famous ladies, all the royal family members will gather together. Among them, even his eldest daughter who was demoted from the outside world was included. With so many people, everything can never be smooth sailing. I'm afraid that when the situation arises and such a little girl is taken down as her son's weakness, it really won't be possible to escape with just a few words.
"Father, don't worry." Lu Chen suddenly smiled softly, with determination and calmness in his eyes. It was probably the first time that he showed such trust and pride in front of his father: "She is such a good person. You expected it.”
Without her, he might have died on the way back to the imperial capital in D City. If there was one person who could suppress all the filth and ugliness at the feast that day, then he believed that that person must be her.
"You have to understand." The emperor suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and opened the curtains. In an instant, thousands of lights of the palace came into view.
He pointed out the window and said quietly to Lu Chen: "These countless conspiracies and killings have just begun. If you make a wrong step, you will lose everything. This masquerade is not just a feast, for you , it is even more of a test." Regardless of whether he only has one son who can inherit his throne, the public's satisfaction with Lu Chen remains at a deadlock. The murderer of his second son Lu Ming's death has not yet been found, and he is still considered a criminal suspect. If this feast breaks out again because of his rash actions, even if he tries to protect himself, it will not help.
"Father, don't worry, I will find out the real culprit directly at that party! Let all these things settle!" It is impossible for anyone to rely on others for a lifetime. My father's aloofness was not completely negligent and indifferent. Since that night, after his father insisted on meeting Frey, he gradually became clearer. Lu Chen looked up and smiled slightly. Only if you are strong enough can you truly gain a foothold in this cold royal family. This is not only a feast for choosing a concubine, but also a test. If he is not qualified enough and is cut off from the throne, then he will never be able to stand up again. But if he could succeed in one fell swoop, in addition to the throne, he hoped that she would also smile and slowly walk to his side...
