It was a pity that there was no child with such strong martial arts skills and strong heart in the palace, so Chang He, the commander of the bodyguards, was ordered to go and look for him.
After Changhe searched for many children, he felt dissatisfied until he dropped in to visit his brother in his hometown and fell in love with Xiao Changting at a glance.
He believed that the little nephew in front of him was simply a gift from God to the country of Zhuilan. It was rare to see such a child who was capable of both literary and military skills and a kind-hearted and persevering heart.
As the commander of the bodyguards, Changhe was originally the ancestor of the eldest family, and the elders respected him very much. Until he told the elders of the eldest family that the old king was secretly looking for a personal guard for the new king, the elders He immediately agreed to let Changting enter the palace to serve the young prince.
Although the elder is reluctant to let go of Chang Ting, his precious son, he may be able to become the little prince's personal guard. In the future, it means that he will be the most important confidant around the new King Zhui Lan. No one is qualified for such an important position. If Chang Ting If you are lucky enough to be selected, it will really bring glory to their parents.
Then his uncle, who was the commander of the guards, took Xiao Changting away. In addition to Changting, several children were also selected from all over the country, a total of ten children. Changting and these children received intensive training from the imperial guards.
Improve their martial arts, ability to judge danger, perseverance, absolute obedience to orders, and loyalty to their masters.
In the end, only five children were able to survive the hardship, and the last test they had to accept was given by the old king himself.
The old king watched all the tests in the fighting arena, and finally left Changting as his son Lanlin's personal guard.
It must be said that Changhe, who was the commander of the guards back then, had a vicious vision. Changting finally stood out among the five children and became the shadow that the old king took a fancy to.
This is the supreme honor of the Chang family, something they deserve to show off for the rest of their lives, but it is also Chang Ting's sadness. After all, he paid for it with his life.
Even though Chang Si became a young master, he was not welcomed by the eldest family. He had never seen a look like the one he looked at Chang Ting in his father's eyes. Perhaps in his father's eyes, he would always be just a child born in the next life and not worthy at all. As his son, only Changting is his proud son.
Later, Changting was taken away. He thought that his father would put all his love on him, start to cultivate himself, and have expectations for him, but he didn't.
He is still a person who is not wanted to be seen, and the dazzling star in the Chang family still belongs to Changting. Changting is like a nightmare hanging above his head, which will never dissipate.
So Xiao Changsi began to work hard to practice martial arts and read and write. He also wanted to become the pride of the elders one day and become a dazzling star in the eyes of the elders.
The nightmare of Changting cannot be dissipated even if he dies. His sacrifice for the king is the supreme achievement. Lan Lin gave him a generous burial and rewarded the family with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
From then on, Changting was forever fixed at a height that Changsi could not reach. He lived a very miserable life.
But Changting didn't know that he still regarded him as his biological brother, but he didn't know that his biological brother had already regarded him as his enemy.
Later, in the assassination at Hot Spring Villa, Chang Si's purpose was not to avenge his brother. He just thought that since His Majesty had such a deep affection for his brother, and his brother died for him, he and his brother Chang Ting Look similar.
Maybe he can do what he likes and let Lan Lin regard him as his brother's shadow and gather thousands of favors on him. In the future, he will definitely have higher power than that stupid guard brother, so that the eldest family member will not have If people dare to look down on him, he will become the most glorious one in the eldest family.
Chang Si's assassination of Lan Lin had already been planned. He thought that as long as His Majesty knew that he was Chang Ting's younger brother, and that he looked similar to Chang Ting, he would not have the heart to kill him. Who would have thought that his plan would come true? There was a mistake.
That is, there was already a person who looked very much like Chang Ting. He became Chang Ting's shadow before him, and this person damned even looked more like Chang Ting than himself. Lin Xie's sudden appearance finally disrupted Chang Si. the entire plan.
He knew very well that even if His Majesty could never forget his old love for his brother Changting, he would never be able to defeat this person who was more like Changting than him, so he could only temporarily suppress the plan and find another breakthrough.
At the Hot Spring Villa, he learned that someone wanted to poison Lan Lin, and he deduced that there was already someone in the Zhui Lan Palace who wanted to kill Lan Lin. No matter who in the harem had this ambition , are not as powerful as the current Queen Ye Nong.
He thought to himself that no matter whether the person who wanted to murder Lan Lin was Ye Nong, Ye Nong had already hated Lin Xie for a long time. As long as he offered to help her eliminate Lin Xie, she would definitely use him. As expected, Ye Nong did. accepted his conditions.
After Changsi left, Queen Ye Nong lowered her head and took a sip of the tea in her hand, and then said: "This Changsi is really interesting. He can obviously get close to Your Majesty with his beauty, why does he have to surrender to me, which is so unnecessary? ?”
Fu'an said: "Queen, don't worry, I will investigate this matter!"
Yugan Palace.
The charcoal fire on the table was sizzling, with two sections of sugar cane roasted on it, and a porcelain white bowl filled with the juice from the roasted sugar cane.
A palace maid was sitting next to the dragon bed feeding Lin Xie medicine. Seeing Lin Xie opening her mouth and drinking happily, Lan Lin at the side couldn't stand it any longer. He hurriedly asked the palace maid to step aside and fed Lin Xie himself. medicine.
Lin Xie was shocked and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, how can you give medicine to your slaves?"
Lan Lin held the medicine bowl and said displeasedly in his heart: "I don't want to see you winking at that palace maid. What kind of eyes do you have? Seductive eyes or peach blossom eyes? They should be dug out!"
Lin Xie couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Majesty, what you said makes no sense. Where did this slave wink at that palace maid?"
"You don't...does the palace maid have it in her heart? How can she stop thinking when she sees such a charming beauty like you at such a close distance? Her face is as red as an apple!"
"Hehehe... Is Your Majesty afraid that she will think wildly? Or is he afraid that the slave will think wildly?"
"It's not okay for anyone to think wildly, even if you dare to think blindly under Gu's eyes, it's not okay!"
"Alas - Your Majesty, you are becoming more and more like an unreasonable child!" Lin Xie was unable to defeat Lan Lin in the end and could only sigh.
Lan Lin's ladle ladling the medicinal soup suddenly paused and frowned slightly. It seemed that Changting had also said this to him.
Seeing that he was suddenly lost in thought, Lin Xie asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Lan Lin continued to have a straight face and scooped up a spoonful of medicine. Lin Xie opened his mouth to drink it. Unexpectedly, Lan Lin took a sip himself, then frowned and said: "Bah - Gu said, there is nothing wrong with the medicine prepared by Pharmacist Chen." Damn it, why were you drinking so hard just now? Is it because you saw that the palace maid was beautiful?"
Lin Xie really had no choice but to deal with this big jealous jar, and begged: "My Majesty, can you wake up a little bit? It's just a bowl of medicinal soup. This kind of bitterness is really nothing to this slave. I have drunk it before." A medicine soup that is more bitter than this!”
Lan Lin was startled and asked: "When?"
In his memory, Lin Xie didn't seem to have gotten sick in the two years since he entered the palace. Lin Xie's eyes were lowered, but what he thought of was the muscle-changing tattoo he underwent five years ago in order to take off the fire tattoo on his back. He suffered so much that he took a lot of even more bitter medicinal soups. For him, those days were simply like purgatory on earth.
He frowned slightly, and then said: "When I was young..."
Seeing that he suddenly felt sad, Lan Lin thought that he was thinking of something unhappy, so he wanted to change the subject, fed the medicinal soup into his mouth, and then said: "You were born to be a slave, you deserve to suffer!"
Lin Xie drank the medicinal soup in one gulp and stared at Lan Lin who was carefully feeding him the medicine. He thought to himself, it would be great if he was really a woman. The king in front of him was not actually a What kind of bad guy could give medicine to a concubine so gently? The concubine would probably be moved to tears for him.
What a twist of fate!
Lan Lin brought half a bowl of sugar cane water, took a spoonful and handed it to Lin Xie and said, "Drink it!"
"What's this?"
"This is sugar cane transported from Shuiyue Shenzhou. It is not available in Zhuilan Kingdom. The sugar we eat on daily basis is made by boiling and refining it. When the sugar cane is roasted on the stove, the sugar cane water flowing out will also It’s called Buyi Decoction. It not only makes your mouth and tongue feel sweet and removes the bitterness of the medicine, but also nourishes qi and blood, strengthens muscles and stomach, and is very good for you!”
Lin Xie looked at the amber-like warm sugar water and felt his heart warm. The better Lan Lin was to him, the more he felt that he was too cruel to him, and he was afraid that he would slowly be unable to do anything to him. .
Lin Xie opened his mouth and drank a spoonful of sugar cane water. He felt warm and refreshing. The sweetness was not as sweet as he thought. After drinking half a bowl of sugar cane water, he felt that his whole body was warm. Yes, it seems to have strength.
Lan Lin looked at the falling snowflakes outside the window, then covered him with a quilt and said softly: "You should have a good sleep for a while. I still have something to do. I will see you later!"
"Your Majesty - How could a slave be so virtuous and capable that he can be cared for like this by Your Majesty..."
Lin Xie looked at him helplessly, and for some reason suddenly said such a damn thing.
These words touched people's hearts and made Lan Lin feel a little anxious. If Lin Xie hadn't been weak at the moment, he would have aroused some evil thoughts.
Lan Lin nodded and smiled at him, then turned and left.
Hongwu Hall.
Above the main hall, a tall and tall young man stood. Lan Lin was startled. When he sat down, he could see the man's face clearly.
"Long thinking?" Lan Lin blurted out with a slight frown on his sword eyebrows.
Ye Nong raised her lips and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that Your Majesty knows him! Then I don't need to introduce him!"
Lan Lin frowned, looked at Chang Si and said, "How did you get in?"
Chang Si did not answer, but Ye Nong said:
"I heard that your Majesty once had a personal guard named Changting when he was young. Your Majesty had a very good relationship with him, and this personal guard was also loyal to your Majesty. He even died in an avalanche to save your majesty. .”
