Chapter 214: Childhood sweethearts
"Bodyguards?" Lin Ko blinked blankly, then lowered his eyes not knowing what he was thinking.
After that, Lin Ko walked with the two of them in the temple.
The area of Fengluan Hall was very large, and the three of them walked to the lake unconsciously.
There are rugged and winding corridors leading to pavilions in the middle of the lake.
The water is crystal clear, and if you look down, you can easily see the fish frolicking in the lake, and if you sprinkle a handful of fish food, you can attract a group of different species of fish to compete for food.
It's just that except for Ruan Yuan, the other two seem to be preoccupied.
She tried to talk to the two of them, but it was perfunctory in a few words, so while resting in the gazebo, Ruan Yuan decided not to be bored anymore, and grabbed a handful of fish food from the stone table and sprinkled it down, teasing the fish.
The picture of the fish snatching food is quite interesting, Ruan Yuan was unconsciously attracted to attention, and looked at them in a daze with his chin propped up.
Plop β
Even the sound of a heavy object falling into the water behind her failed to attract her attention.
It wasn't until Xi'er's scream of surprise broke behind her that she suddenly came back to her senses.
"! Oh, my God! Come on! The queen has fallen overboardβ"
It's good, there are railings all around, how did the mother fall into the water?
The thought flashed through her mind.
However, the situation was urgent, and she did not have a chance to think deeply.
She was the closest person to the queen's place in the water except for Ah Wei, and she was also the only person present who knew martial arts, so after coming back to her senses, she immediately rushed over, holding the railing with one hand and stepping out with one foot.
But in the next moment, someone grabbed her arm with a hand from behind, preventing her from moving further.
Immediately afterwards, Ruan Yuan's movements froze, and he simply flipped back neatly.
Because someone took a step ahead of her to scoop up the queen who fell into the water.
Long Night has always kept a short distance from the three of them, and after seeing the queen fall into the water, he flew away as fast as he could without a second of hesitation, and his toes were on the surface of the lake, and the upper of his shoes was not even wet.
The queen leaned into his arms in shock.
Long Night raised his eyes, facing Meng Xiyun's calm gaze.
It seemed to be a look that was no different from usual, but Long Night's heart skipped a pound for a moment.
He made a move, wanting to hand over the person in his arms to Xi'er.
But I don't know if it was because she was frightened, Lin Ko hugged his waist tightly with both hands, and once he moved to push, she hugged him tighter.
Lin Ko looked up at his tense eyes, her pale cheeks suddenly relaxed, her bloodless lips hooked up a smile, she raised her hand, as if she wanted to caress Changye's face, her voice was so light that it seemed to be able to go with the wind, "Brother Prince, it's really you." β
Her tone was incredibly affirmative.
Long Night was going to avoid her movements, but her words seemed to point at his acupoint, making him forget to move in an instant.
So Linko's hand touched his face smoothly.
Lin Ko smiled softly, "That's not your real look, is it?" β
Her fingertips ran against his face through a human skin mask.
The touch made Changye come back to his senses suddenly, he twisted his eyebrows, raised his hand to hold her hand away, rolled his throat, and said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, please respect yourself." β
This title made Lin Ko's eyes dim for a moment, and then they lit up.
"Do you mind who I am? Brother Prince, I have nothing to do with the emperor, we are just simple friends. β
On the side, Ruan Yuan, who witnessed the interaction between the two, was dumbfounded.
This...... What's going on??
She looked at the two close friends, and then at the friends around her who didn't say a word, and she was confused for a while.
Listening to Lin Ko's words, Changye was briefly stunned.
Although he suspected her identity at first glance, it was only when he heard Lin Ko call him just now that his identity was confirmed.
Even so, he had no intention of initiating it with her.
As soon as the ancient breath is gone, it is enough that she is doing well now.
Second, she is now a country, and Changye remembers that the two have made a marriage contract since childhood, and if he rashly recognizes her, it may cause her trouble.
The most important thing is that whether she is a wife or not, this marriage contract will never be fulfilled.
But now that she has recognized him, it is not good for Long Night to deny it outright.
"Mother."
Lin Ko frowned and interrupted him, "Don't call me that. β
After a long pause, he changed his words: "Lin Ko." β
Lin Ko bit her lip dissatisfied, as if she wanted to say something, but Changye didn't give her a chance.
This fact, he admitted very calmly, "The ancient breath is gone, and there is no prince brother in this world for a long time." β
His gaze was solemn, and Lin Ko inexplicably expected that he would say something she didn't want to hear next, and she was in a hurry, but she coughed violently if she didn't want to.
Xi'er hurriedly put on clothes for her, although she was confused about the current situation, she was worried about her body, "Niangniang, go back and change your clothes first, right?" β
Lin Ko didn't move, his eyes were almost stubbornly staring at the long night, but he couldn't bear to cough as if he was against it.
Xi'er's pleading gaze fell on Meng Xiyun.
Meng Xiyun hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't ignore the doctor's instinct, took a few steps forward, as if intentionally or unintentionally separating the distance between the two, and said to Lin Ko: "Niangniang, your body can't stand the cold, please go and change your clothes." β
Finally, he added: "It's better to bathe in hot water." β
To Meng Xiyun, Lin Ko's attitude softened a lot, coughed a few times, and in the pause, it seemed that she had something to say, but Meng Xiyun's eyes became much more solemn when she saw the blood spilling from her lips, she raised her hand to test the temperature on Lin Ko's forehead, and interrupted: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later, now go and rest first." β
After speaking, with the support of Ruan Yuan and Xi'er, Lin Ko was semi-forcibly taken away.
None of the people present asked why Lin Ko fell into the lake.
Looking at the back of the three of them leaving, Meng Xiyun turned around and glanced at Changye, at that moment he thought she would say something.
But with a frown, she didn't say anything.
Long Night intuitively sensed that she was in a bad mood, and after thinking for a while, his hand tentatively touched hers.
Sensing that she didn't dodge, Changye didn't know why, but he was inexplicably relieved, took her hand and walked to the stone chair in the gazebo and sat down, considering the wording.
"Lin Ko is my old friend, we have known each other since childhood."
From their conversation and demeanor, Meng Xiyun had already guessed it, so he just looked at him silently, waiting for him to continue.
Long Night said in a deep voice: "We were born with a baby parent. β
No matter how calm he was, his words still shocked Meng Xiyun.
Her complexion changed.
Long Night took the first step to hold her hand, not giving her a chance to pull it back.
