Chapter 17: The Dark Guard is by Your Side
[69 Book Bar - www.] At night, the hot air gradually dissipated, so I dismissed the girls around me and walked towards the lotus pond alone. They seemed to have gradually become accustomed to my habit of walking alone, and they were very obedient and did not follow me anymore.
come over…
I took off my shoes and held them in my hands, stepping lightly on the cobblestone path. Every step I took made me grimace in pain, but this feeling was very comfortable.
When I arrived at the lake, I didn't go to the pavilion. I simply sat on the edge, soaked my feet in the water, and splashed in the water.
I thought of the river beach again... and Xiao Yuchen's faint sadness under the dim moonlight by the lotus pond that night...
I don’t know why, but these images appear in my mind like a nightmare from time to time... Damn Xiao Yuchen, I must hate you so much that I remember every expression of yours so deeply...
In order to interrupt my wandering thoughts, I jumped into the water with a plop. Maybe I would forget all this after taking a dip!
Just as I buried my head in the water, suddenly a hand wrapped around my waist and gently pulled me... Then I flew up dreamily... The water droplets on my body fell down and rippled on the lake surface...
It wasn't until he was gently put back on the ground that he had time to look back at that face: thin lips, strong nose, and calm eyes under the black eye mask.
"Hey, who are you! What's going on with you? Why do you appear in my yard?"
Suddenly I remembered what just happened. Isn't the palace heavily guarded? How could someone break in?
The man lowered his head slightly and said without any emotion: "My subordinate's name is Feng, and the prince has ordered his subordinates to protect the queen at all times."
It turns out that he is Xiao Yuchen’s mysterious confidant? Apart from excitement, curiosity once again got the better of him.
"The prince asked you to protect me, so what do you mean is that you will always be there?"
"yes!"
"Then you didn't think I fell into the water just now, did you?"
"yes!"
Seeing that I seemed to have a lot of questions, Feng also said without any emotion: "Since your Majesty is fine, I will leave first!"
"That...wind..."
Before I finished speaking, I saw him disappear in front of my eyes like a gust of wind. What kind of martial arts! Isn't it too fast?
Ignoring the dripping short skirt, I continued to sit by the lake and think about my thoughts. What is going on? Xiao Yuchen sent Feng to my side to protect me, or did he keep hiding in the dark...
In this world, I haven't offended anyone, how could someone hurt me? Although I think he is making a fuss, it's such a novel feeling to have a secret guard by my side! Moreover, in my heart, I feel for Xiao Yuchen
There was a hint of emotion from the practice, but it was only a momentary feeling.
At this time, Feng, who was hiding in the dark, saw the owner in a wet and strange dress. Sometimes he frowned, sometimes giggled, sometimes in a daze... and his eyebrows unknowingly relaxed.
Ke'er and Jin'er, who came to look for me, were frightened by my embarrassed appearance and pulled me back into the house without any reason. Of course, I didn't tell anyone that the cold-faced man named Feng was guarding a certain corner.
Protect me. Since he is a secret guard, I believe Xiao Yuchen doesn’t want others to know.
