At the end of the corridor, there was a zigzag turn. Lu Chen stood there, with his back to the moonlight, and his reflection was stretched extremely long.
It was clear that M didn't stay in the emperor's palace for long, but he felt like a century had passed!
Turning around, Lu Chen was slightly shocked when he heard the inaudible footsteps, and quietly met M's heartless eyes.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
M, on the other hand, glanced around him lightly. After a long time, he found that the second princess had already disappeared, and couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile.
At the beginning, his mother was regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh by his father's women. I am afraid that his existence would be a representative of evil in their eyes!
At this moment, M's eyes slowly looked at Lu Chen. After all, he was the one responsible for tonight's "meeting". In such a huge palace, all the guards and servants were evacuated. It seemed that in a short period of time, even with the two grand dukes above his head, he unexpectedly quickly took control of the inner circle. The entire palace was controlled by him inside and outside. master.
Probably because the look in front of him was too shocking, Lu Chen stared at M quietly and didn't say a word for a long time.
In addition to Lu Ming, he actually has a brother. The same blood, the same father, but it's a pity that we have never seen each other in so many years.
Ironically, this was actually their first meeting in a real sense.
"I heard that you were assassinated early in the morning?" M smiled, and instead of remaining silent with him, he spoke first.
His voice was originally like the feeling of jade hitting ice and snow, but this rhetorical question seemed to have an invisible touch of ridicule, a slight hint of teasing.
Lu Chen was stunned. The Ice Territory people in his memory should be arrogant and indifferent, but the M in front of him seemed to be a little different.
He could clearly see the cold personality in the other person's eyes, and his lazy expression seemed to be that the person he was visiting was not his seriously ill father, but just a casual chat with an old friend. However, his silver-white eyes were filled with stagnant water, and no light could penetrate.
M knew that his assassination had now been publicized by the media and caused a stir throughout the empire. However, for some reason, after M said this, his first reaction was that his every move was being observed by the other person, even when he didn't notice it at all...
"I was shot, it's not serious." Lu Chen lowered his head and glanced at the hanging partition on his left hand. The gypsum board was still fixed on it. He curled his lips and his face was full of self-mockery.
Is it worth it to exchange one shot for the situation where the whole country is now suspicious of his two uncles
value!
At least, my father's throne is now stable, because the "actions" of the two grand dukes really make their moral integrity questionable. My brother is still seriously ill, and for the sake of the throne, he can turn around and murder his nephew! This kind of thing, no one can take it seriously.
Naturally, the authenticity of what such a person says is greatly compromised!
Did His Majesty the Emperor kill his own brother and seek power to usurp the throne? Is there any evidence? Who wouldn’t make false accusations with empty words? Can the Grand Duke bully his helpless nephew
He could almost imagine what kind of whispers were going on in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital today.
Because he asked the people below to spread these things.
"You didn't die even after being hit by an armor-piercing bullet. You're pretty lucky." M smiled lukewarmly, her cold eyes falling lightly on his left arm, indicating something.
Lu Chen took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly turned cold: "What do you mean?"
Although, in terms of blood, they are brothers.
But, it's just blood relationship, it's just the first time they've met each other in twenty years, in the final analysis, they're still just strangers. Why does this illegitimate son need to comment on everything he has! Today we specially cleared the place so that he could appear in the palace as if he were walking on the street, just to fulfill his father's wish. He really deserves it, he has the right to point fingers at himself!
This time, M looked at him deeply, deeply, as if he wanted to see through his soul with those silver eyes. After a long time, he slowly shook his head: "I thought that after leaving D City, , you have really grown a lot and made a lot of progress, I never thought you were still an idiot."
"What did you say!" Lu Chen's eyes were like a will-o'-the-wisp, burning brightly and dimly.
He didn't know where the other party got the courage to make such arbitrary comments about him in the palace. He is just a poor guy who has been isolated by his father for so many years! How dare you say that to him!
"You were assassinated early in the morning, and it was a special warhead? Do you really think your little cleverness can hide it from the enemy?" A cold smile flashed across M's lips. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Lu, who suddenly froze. Chen couldn't help but shook his head slightly, "How can there be so many accidents in this world!"
"Presumptuous!" Lu Chen's captain of the bodyguard, who had been hiding in the dark, suddenly rushed over. A scimitar, cold and murderous, struck directly at M's life gate.
But M didn't seem surprised that someone would interfere and suddenly appear in the middle of his conversation with Lu Chen. Even though the scimitar was in sight, he didn't seem to be panicked at all. He didn't even blink or step back.
"Puff" - there was a crisp sound, and a cold knife suddenly stood in front of M. It was only ten centimeters away from his eyes.
In such a short period of time, he actually took the sword from the head guard Lu Chen!
The next moment, the sharp weapon in his hand swayed slightly, and actually pressed down on the blade of the captain of the guard. In an instant, the opponent used a strong force to knock the scimitar of the captain of the guard away, and it was stuck on the ground in the distance!
The buzzing echo echoed throughout the corridor.
Lu Chen slowly lowered his eyes. His captain of the bodyguard was lying in ambush because he was worried about his safety. If the other party could find out, it meant that his skills were extraordinary. However, under his nose, someone was following him unconsciously. He didn't even notice the other person's existence until he got into action with the captain of the guard. This was no ordinary danger!
"Playing with a knife?" M smiled coldly, "What I just said is the truth. With your little wealth and skills, you dare to play with a knife in front of me? Why don't you go find Leng Yiyao and let her teach you what to do? This is real knife play." M waved his hand casually, and in the shadow, the silver-haired man who had been following him knelt on one knee and softly called "Young Master."
M took the scimitar in his hand. It was much smaller than the one Lu Chen, the captain of the guard, used just now, but the blood groove was extremely sharp. Under the moonlight, no matter how far away he stood, he could still be seen by the cold luster. It hurts the eyes.
M played with the scimitar in his hand without concentration. His proud and cold eyebrows were slightly raised in a beautiful arc. The index finger and middle finger of his right hand were slightly together. In the blink of an eye, a touch of coldness passed across Lu Chen's cheek!
The next moment, Lu Chen's captain of the guard was horrified to find that a bloody mouth quickly appeared on his master's cheek! It's so thin that it can cut through the skin texture! The exquisite control and lightning-fast speed almost caught him off guard!
When the captain of the guard reflected it in his mind, M almost cut off half of his master's face when he made a move, and his whole face turned purple with anger! Just raise your fist and rush upward!
Lu Chen stretched out his hand and blocked him directly!
M looked at Lu Chen's expression with interest, took out the tissue with a half-smile on his face, and wiped his palms, as if he had just been stained with dirt.
Faced with his seemingly contemptuous attitude, the captain of the guard's face was distorted. Why not let him rush forward! "Your Highness!" He looked at Lu Chen in confusion!
"Do you know Leng Yiyao?" Lu Chen ignored his expression and just stared at M's every move. The way he spoke just now was clearly very familiar to Leng Yiyao, and he also knew that she used a knife
M just looked at him coldly and didn't answer. The followers behind him walked far away naturally, picked up the sharp blade that M had thrown out, and returned to the shadows, as if they had never appeared before.
Lu Chen frowned, but still looked at the other party steadily.
M probably found it interesting. The whole world was probably saying that the eldest prince was different from the past, but why, when the topic of Leng Yiyao came up, he couldn't wrap his mind around it. In this case, he might as well speak more clearly.
He looked at Lu Chen coldly, as if he was sizing up a clown: "Do you think Leng Yiyao and Hemo would have no idea about your assassination even after they walked around your bedroom?"
Lu Chen trembled all over and clenched his hands subconsciously. It was clear, it was clear that there was nothing unusual when she left!
He is lying!
Yes, the essence of the Ice Territory Clan is to confuse people!
"You don't believe it?" M looked at Lu Chen's calm face with a sneer, and suddenly smiled: "I'll give you a piece of advice in return for your arrangements tonight." He paused, and then said: "Go find Leng Yi Yao, otherwise, you won’t survive this month.”
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue. Not to mention Lu Chen, even the captain of the guard behind him was completely stunned!
What's the meaning!
Why, His Highness cannot survive this month
The two grand dukes are now at the forefront of the storm, can they still pull off any tricks
M, however, did not want to explain a single word of his feelings. He moved forward indifferently and passed by Lu Chen.
Leng Yiyao is definitely a master with the sword, but now she is getting further and further away from the sword. On the contrary, she is getting closer and closer to the heavy sword. Is it all because of that man? —Hermer….
There was a hint of deep meaning in M's eyes, and his gaze fell on the horizon in the distance, as if he was recalling the encounter he had with Hemo on the second floor of the banquet hall not long ago.
That man is very strong!
Lu Chen, on the other hand, stood still in place for a long time, indifferent.
The captain of the guard knew that His Highness would lose his mind when it came to anything involving Leng Yiyao, but now, hearing everything carefully arranged was like a joke in someone's mouth, and even he couldn't help but doubt it , could it be that Leng Yiyao had already guessed the truth of the matter
"Your Highness..." He looked up hesitantly, only to see Lu Chen turn and leave with an expressionless face.
The next day, the entire palace courtyard went crazy!
The eldest prince suddenly disappeared without a trace!
Leng Yiyao had given herself a holiday these days and was too lazy to go to school.
Nowadays, the entire imperial capital is in a state of uproar because of the conflict between the royal family, like a pot of boiling water about to boil. When she first arrived at Shengde High School, Lu Chen showed up there without any hesitation, almost making the whole school aware of it. At this time, by returning to Shengde High School, she was simply putting herself at the center of the gossip. Why should she find fault on her own
On the contrary, Hermer's recent behavior has become more and more weird, and he has been approaching more and more openly. As soon as she returned to the villa, not long after, this man appeared there. Instead of being in the villa, she had to prepare meals for two people by herself. , it is better to just stay in the Marshal's Mansion and enjoy the fat chef's craftsmanship. So, naturally and unknowingly, the probability of her personal belongings appearing in the Marshal's Mansion became higher and higher. In the past few days, she even lived here directly.
After all, no matter how powerful the gossip news outside is, no matter how awesome the media reporters are, who would dare to climb through the walls of the Marshal's Mansion to find her.
She was happily inserting a piece of fruit and feeding it into her mouth leisurely. Suddenly, a figure appeared at the door, moving freely, but her expression was a little bit wrong.
Leng Yiyao watched Frei walking straight towards her, and slowly pushed the book in his hand away: "What's wrong?"
"The eldest prince is here, right outside the door." Frey felt that the man's brain had been stunned by a gunshot wound. That was an armor-piercing projectile. Now, during the infection period, he actually dared to run out with the wound in hand to catch the cold. This was the time when winter was about to begin.
"Huh? Isn't Hemo in the house?" Leng Yiyao's first reaction was, you have guests, find the host. She was just a temporary guest. The first heir to the royal family came to visit. If Frey didn't report to his master, why did he find her
Frey was startled, and immediately looked at her with a look that didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The eldest prince said that he is here to find you."
Looking for someone to find the Marshal's Mansion, the key is the love rival... love rival...
Frey no longer wants to comment on the relationship between the three.
Although, in his opinion, his master, in heaven and on earth, is the only one who is supreme. But the eldest prince Lu Chen is absolutely infatuated with Leng Yiyao and has no regrets.
So, the word "love" is full of ups and downs, and it is daunting!
Leng Yiyao didn't know why Frey suddenly looked at her so emotionally. She only felt that the guards in the entire palace today were so lax? The injured prince went to the Marshal's Mansion in a grand manner. Is there no one to take care of him
She glanced at her clothes subconsciously. For the convenience of reading, she just wore home clothes casually. Since the last time she and Helmer saw each other's dressing gowns, dressing in the mansion had become as convenient as possible. What's more, she is staying in her own room now.
Shaking his head helplessly, he suddenly felt that he had given the other party too much advantage by only proposing three conditions for exchange.
Leng Yiyao waved her hand: "I'll change my clothes first. You take him to the front hall and I'll be right over."
Everyone is here, and they want to see each other. Besides, she was quite curious about his purpose...
