16. Jing Sui
Ji Ling lived in the Carlos Mansion for a few days without any danger. Every day, he tried his best to do something wrong and make trouble. Except for the fact that he couldn't do it, he did all the bad things he could think of. again.
He used rose petals carefully cultivated from precious seeds preserved from ancient earth in Carlos Garden to make tea, and he accidentally smashed a few precious cloud crystal statues from the Sartu galaxy placed in the hall. He also accidentally burnt down an entire garden during the barbecue. Every day, he sits in Carlos's study and sits on Carlos's chair to read his collection of ancient books, and from time to time he commands his servants to help him get the delicacies of other distant galaxies. ...
but!
Carlos doesn't mind at all!
From the beginning to the end, he never showed a single unhappy expression, and even said that he would let the ancient botanists of the Imperial Academy of Sciences cultivate more ancient roses to make tea for his little cutie, as for the broken ones. The Saertu galaxy cloud crystal is not worth mentioning, I am afraid that it will hurt the cute hand.
What can Ji Ling do? He is also very desperate!
And these days he lives here with Carlos, and he has checked every corner of the place, but he has not found anything. As for Carlos himself, he is not leaking, except for his incomparable doting on himself.
Ji Ling took the last remaining rose and began to tear down the petals one by one...
Carlos is reborn.
Carlos was not reborn.
Carlos is reborn.
Carlos was not reborn.
Carlos is reborn.
The system remembered everything he had witnessed these days, and Yu Xin couldn't bear it and said: [I recently played games with my friends, but I kept losing because of bad luck, but it's nothing to lose once or twice in games, as long as I can win in the end. . γ
Ji Ling held back and made a muffled voice: [What do you mean by that? γ
Seeing that Ji Ling was finally willing to talk to him, the system quickly said: [I want to tell you that failure is the mother of success, not once or twice, but three or four times. γ
Ji Ling: [β¦]
It's so hard once or twice, and you tell me there will be three or four times? Why don't you just say it countless times? It's such a wonderful way of comforting people.
Ji Ling held back his anger: [So, time has passed for a long time, have they been reborn, have you figured it out? γ
System: [Not yet...]
Ji Ling interrupted him with a smile: [Then why don't you explode in place? γ
The system was silent for a moment, and then said: [A person with quality will not easily attack others personally. γ
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 had his brain flooded to comfort the host!
Kindness is not rewarded, and a cold war is a cold war!
ββThis is destined to be an inconsequential injury to each other.
Ji Ling finished talking to the system and tore off the last petal on his hand. Damn... was just talking to the system, where did he count? !
He threw the bare flower branch on the ground with a black face, and stepped on it by the way.
Then go out the door.
When the servant waiting outside saw Ji Ling come out, he immediately said respectfully, "Master Ji Ling, do you need anything?"
This servant was the one who was almost killed for preventing Ji Ling from entering the study. He carefully looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and at this moment, he was respectful from the bottom of his heart. Although the outside world said that Ji Ling was a playboy who did all kinds of evil, and the boy's performance seemed to be a playboy, but he had an inexplicable affection for the young man in front of him.
He never imagined that one day...
Someone can face the bloody and terrifying Archduke Carlos so fearlessly to protect such a humble life.
It is better to say that the boy is a brave but kind-hearted child, not so much as a playboy.
What's more, with the noble status of a young man, what's wrong with being arrogant and arrogant?
Ji Ling didn't know the complicated thoughts of the other party. He didn't like being served, so he said lazily, "No need."
Then walk alone in the direction of the garden.
In fact, he was thinking about how to say goodbye to Carlos. This time, he came here to test Carlos' tolerance for him, but he didn't gain anything.
Gradually, Ji Ling also wanted to understand.
No matter 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, it is his obsession for two lifetimes, he is just an unexpected variable, belonging to Minor details that don't matter to the big picture.
In case Carlos is really reborn, he feels guilty because of his help in the previous life. It is not a big thing to decide to make up for himself in this life. It is nothing more than a trick.
Presumably when the main story begins, he won't have time to take care of himself.
For Ji Ling, how to match Jing Sui and Ning Yu is the most important thing.
So... he has to go to the palace banquet tomorrow night.
Tomorrow night, Jing Sui will hold a banquet in the palace. In addition to many high-ranking imperial nobles, there will also be a national idol who has made great achievements in the Nado Galaxy, the star of tomorrow, Ning Yu.
Inviting officers from civilians to attend the banquet of the royal family undoubtedly reflects His Majesty's value 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 affection to Ning Yu at the banquet. . I attended the banquet and saw Jing Sui and Ning Yu chatting together very happily, and they would be 'incomparable with hatred'. Instead of slapping Ning Yu in the face, he was slapped mercilessly in the face by the person he loved. In the end, he completely resented Ning Yu and found fault for his next time. To pave the way, it also gave Jing Sui the opportunity to protect Ning Yu and enhance his relationship.
As a commoner of ordinary background, Ning Yu can be valued and attracted by many imperial nobles, and can make Jing Sui show his favor to him in person, which makes many people fear but dare not act rashly.
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 must think twice. Moving a well-known national idol is completely different from moving an anonymous passer-by.
Although Ning Yu's identity pushed him to the forefront and became an important pawn in the game, it was also the greatest protection for him.
Only the original owner of his body, a love-minded idiot, would go to trouble Ning Yu because of a trivial matter, and the end was tragic. Of course, now it is Ji Ling who has replaced the original owner, and the trouble of finding trouble naturally falls on Ji Ling.
Thinking of this, Ji Ling kicked the stone beside his feet, and sighed faintly. When Carlos comes back later, he will say goodbye to him. Since he doesn't understand his purpose, it's a big deal to stay away.
He will not give up because of a little accident!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Carlos came back from the outside and saw a young man sitting on a stone bench with his chin in a daze at a glance, and his eyes couldn't help but glow with a soft color.
The young man has stayed here these days, and at any time he can see his vivid expression, flamboyant eyes, wanton smile... The kindness of the young man is hard to hide. Ross could see clearly.
The boy is like a burning star, his every move warms his cold heart.
The closer you get, the more attracted you will be...
In his last life, how could he bear to hurt him like this?
The pain in Carlos' eyes flashed away. He walked up to Ji Ling with a gentle and warm expression, and said in a low voice with a smile: "What are you thinking?"
Ji Ling didn't notice that Carlos was back just now because he was distracted. The only gain in the past few days is that he knew how he would not provoke Carlos. Carlos was more tolerant of him than he thought. The taller he was, and gradually he became less afraid, and he became more daring.
Thinking of what was in his heart, Ji Ling's lips moved slightly: "Uncle Carlos."
Carlos' eyes were soft, and his eyes signaled that he had something to say.
Ji Ling paused, looked at him and said seriously, "I've lived here for several days and want to go home."
Carlos didn't have a strong reaction. It seemed that everything was within his expectations. He raised his hand and touched Ji Ling's head, and asked warmly, "Why? Are you unhappy living here?"
Ji Ling turned his head away a little uncomfortable. Why did Carlos always like to do such intimate actions recently? He didn't want to be touched by Carlos at all - rub the head, okay? Ji Zhinan Ling, who didn't know that he had lost his first kiss, felt that Carlos, the old fox, was weird recently, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
But he didn't think about it, but blinked and said, "No, it's me..." His cheeks flushed, his eyes showed a longing and shy look, he bit his lip and said, "Tomorrow my father is going to the palace to attend a banquet, I want to go too."
He had prepared the excuse for leaving before he came. He was going to leave here and go to the palace to see his sweetheart!
Who knew that as soon as the voice fell, he saw Carlos, who had always been gentle and doted on him these days, his eyes were cold, and his body exuded an icy aura.
Ji Ling was already used to the Carlos who never seemed to be angry. Seeing him show such a terrifying side suddenly, he couldn't help but stare at Carlos in surprise, not knowing what he said wrong.
Carlos took a deep breath and looked at the boy's puzzled and frightened eyes. Only then did he realize that he had not controlled his emotions just now, which might have frightened the boy, but at that moment, the uncontrollable jealousy and pain in his chest were like vines entwining him. The heart, with a burst of annoyed emotions, made him almost unable to continue to cover up.
He knew why Ji Ling wanted to enter the palace, and the answer was obvious, because he could see Jing Sui.
He invited Ji Ling to come to his house for a short stay, and he didn't mention the matter of the palace banquet, just hoping that the young man would forget about it.
Not wanting to see, the teenager continued to approach the man with moths to the flame.
But in the end, he couldn't avoid it, his existence and all his efforts... were not enough to offset the position Jing Sui occupied in Ji Ling's mind, nothing compared to Jing Sui's eyes and words.
He was just an elder he respected, and Jing Sui was the one he really tried his best to love.
Even if you change yourself, you can't change the trajectory of your destiny.
It was impossible to keep Ji Ling from seeing him.
The thought of the two of them about to meet, the thought of the young man's eyes full of love, he would look at another man without reservation, and still infatuated with the wrong payment of love... All this made Carlos jealous and painful.
Carlos, who was born with everything, this is the first time he has tasted jealousy and what he asks for in a person.
He approached him so cautiously and petted him, but it only made the young man less afraid of him... But Jing Sui could easily get everything he could not hope for.
Ji Ling looked at Carlos cautiously, the man's elegant face was covered with a thin layer of frost, and the look in his eyes was as dark as a bottomless abyss, as if some extremely terrible emotion was brewing, gloomy...
He wondered in horror, why did Carlos suddenly change his face? Could it have something to do with Jing Sui? !
Speaking of which, Jing Sui was his lifelong enemy. In the last life, Carlos was defeated by Jing Sui. Is this a scar? With Carlos' heart and arrogance, Jing Sui must be the only one who can change his face! It turns out that Jing Sui is the inverse scale that 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 resented Jing Sui even more because of his failure in the previous life. But he was afraid of being afraid. He had to go to this banquet, so he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Uncle Carlos, what's the matter with you?"
Carlos slowly regained his senses, looked into the young man's eyes, and suppressed the pain in his heart little by little. The dark look in his eyes swelled and then disappeared, and in the end, only the incomprehensible complex and profound remained.
After a long time, it seemed that a decision had finally been made.
He said slowly: "If it's just this matter, you don't have to go back specially."
Ji Ling looked at him suspiciously.
Carlos raised his thin lips slightly, looked at Ji Ling deeply, and said, "I can take you there too."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Because Carlos personally promised to take him to the banquet, Ji Ling really had no excuse to insist on leaving, so he had to stay at Carlos' house and pray for a smoother tomorrow.
The next day Ji Ling just got up, rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed, and saw that the servants had brought in the prepared clothes respectfully. When he was about to change Ji Ling's clothes, Carlos walked in and said lightly. : "You go out, I'll come."
Ji Ling: "..."
He looked at the servants who had withdrawn in a single swipe, and wished he could hold on to Erkang's hand! But in the end, reason prevailed over impulse, and innocently looked at Carlos with open eyes, without saying a word.
Carlos looked at the dazed and unexpected look in the boy's eyes, and the emotions of love, pity, and jealousy intertwined in his heart, hiding the complicated emotions in his eyes. He picked up his clothes and walked to Ji Ling's side with a gentle voice: "This is what I chose for you. Yes, it should suit you well."
Ji Ling looked at the big beast villain who was going to help him change his clothes, hesitating and struggling for a long time, and finally chose to follow his heart.
He opened his arms obediently and put on the clothes that Carlos was holding.
Carlos lowered his eyes slightly, his slender fingers pinched the delicate gemstone buttons, and he helped Ji Ling to button them one by one. He stretched out his hand to smooth the wrinkles on his shoulders. , From this angle, you can see the looming collar-bone, beautiful and fragile... Carlos paused slightly, buttoned the last button, then released his hand and took a step back.
He looked at the young man in front of him.
The teenager was wearing a small white dress with gold rims, dark blue gemstone buttons lining his blue eyes, slim tailoring wrapped his slender body, short golden hair softly combed to one side, perfect and noble... Like the little prince walking out of the painting.
And like a pure and flawless angel, standing before him defenseless.
Carlos' Adam's apple twitched, and after a while, he bent down and extended his hand to Ji Ling, his elegant and deep eyes stared at him, his thin lips slightly opened: "We should go."
Ji Ling hesitated for a moment, but still put his hand into Carlos's, and walked out with him in a trance.
Not long after, the hover car stopped at the gate of the palace.
The imperial palace is the highest power symbol of 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, but the emperor is still widely recognized as the supreme ruler of the empire. But in fact, the rights of each emperor are inseparable from his own strength.
A strong emperor will have more right to speak, while a weak emperor will be mercilessly divided up 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 possess the super strength of an SSS-level evolutionary, but at the same time, his ruthless and decisive skills have enabled him to gain a firm foothold among many aristocrats who are coveting him. And after the union with Brandon, it caused a great threat to Carlos.
want to break the stagnant status quo of the empire for thousands of years and change the relationship between nobles and commoners.
This is not destined to be 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 in this book!
Ji Ling looked up at the gate of the palace that was almost towering into the sky, remembered today's plot and what would happen next, and walked in with a determined mind.
The various celebrities and nobles around them kept shuttling, and when they saw Carlos and Ji Ling who was following him, they all saluted respectfully and said hello.
Ji Ling looked cute, but his eyes turned slightly. He had to find a chance to get away from Carlos and act alone. After all, Carlos was too conspicuous here and it was inconvenient for him to do the task by himself. And with Carlos by his side... Ning Yu was only passively beaten, how could he complete today's 'slapped in the face' plot?
Carlos must be thrown away!
In view of the fact that Carlos was very concerned about himself during this time, Ji Ling was a little worried. Fortunately, he finally got a suitable opportunity not long after, Lieutenant General Hawke and several other well-dressed nobles greeted Carlos.
Ji Ling took the opportunity to speak and said, "Uncle Carlos, you are busy first, I will go in by myself."
He thought that Carlos would not agree, and even when he was about to use his father as an excuse, he saw Carlos showing him a gentle smile and said, "Okay."
Ji Ling was stunned, why did Carlos suddenly agree so readily...
But he didn't think much about it, he could finally get rid of Carlos! So he pulled away in surprise and left. Now Jing Sui should have met Ning Yu, right?
Carlos did not move, his hand holding the cane tightened, looking at Ji Ling's back, who hurriedly left, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a dark and cold color flashed across his pupils.
Go for it.
Go see with your own eyes how ruthless your loved one is.
Then you will eventually come back to me.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ji Ling followed the memory and went into the palace, walked through the gorgeous garden corridor, passed the beautiful pool fountain, and finally saw the tall man with black hair and golden eyes in the shade of a tree.
He quickly and quietly hid behind a big tree, took a deep breath and looked at it again.
The man has a face as handsome as a god, with long black hair draped behind him, under the straight eyebrows, golden pupils glowing with a cool light, so fierce that people dare not look directly, his lips are pale and thin,The bridge of the nose is high and straight. Even if he stands there motionless, he is still extravagant and has a strong sense of presence that no one can ignore.
He is the male protagonist of this book, the current supreme ruler of the empire - Emperor Jing Sui!
