Chapter 125
“Princess, the empress sent someone to say that she is going to choose a guard for Princess Lizhen, please come and watch the ceremony.”
The door of the bedroom was knocked by the maid, and it took a long time for the exquisitely carved door to be pulled open from the inside. A slightly hoarse voice sounded, “Now?”
“Yes, princess.” The maid replied respectfully, then raised her head to look at the princess in front of her, and suddenly exclaimed, “My God! Princess, why are you injured?”
As far as the maid could see, Jing Zhao’s slender neck and chest were all stained with red blood, which looked a little scary.
The maid wanted to ask for a doctor, but was stopped by Jing Zhao, “No need, just bring some water and just wash it off.”
The princess refused, but the maid had no choice but to fetch clean water and a clean towel to clean up for Jing Zhao. After wiping off the blood and changing clothes, she realized that the blood was not from the princess, except for a conspicuous red spot on her neck. Apart from the scratches, there is no damage in other places.
The serving maids inexplicably thought of the human snake that hadn’t come out since entering the princess’ bedroom. Could it be that the princess was stained with the blood of the human snake?
Thinking of the snake being punished by the princess because of frequent mistakes, the maids felt that their guess should be right.
Although they don’t know what mistake the man and snake made again, it’s none of their business. If they mentioned it rashly, they might be blamed by the princess.
Changing into a dark purple palace dress again, Jing Zhao stood up, walked to the door of the bedroom, and shouted in a deep voice, “Still coming out?”
There has been no movement in the bedroom since the princess came out, making people subconsciously ignore the fact that the human snake guard is still inside.
After Jing Zhao’s voice fell, it took a while for the rustling sound to sound in the bedroom, and then a tall figure appeared at the door, with black half-length hair, an indifferent face, and world-weary eyes.
The maids always felt that the human snake was scary and did not dare to look at it too much, but when their eyes slid past the other party inadvertently, they still saw the other person’s appearance at this time, and saw the human snake’s bare right chest on top, and a very conspicuous whip The scars lay there, and even the lower jaw was stained with a little blood.
It seems that the human snake really angered the princess, the maids lowered their heads, guessing secretly.
Jing Zhao glanced at Lan Che, “Go and wash off the blood on your body.”
She didn’t use much strength, and if she wanted to blame it, she didn’t have anything handy, only the whip he gave her, who knew it was so powerful, but just one whip could tear his skin apart.
After staying in the bedroom for a while, the wound on Lan Che’s body was not as terrifying as when he was beaten just now. He has amazing healing power, but in a flash, the broken skin and flesh have grown back, and the remaining trauma may be After he cleaned the wound, there was only a faint mark left.
Lan Che obediently went to clean the wound, and watched Jing Zhao use the remaining water to wipe off the blood on his body casually, then returned to Jing Zhao with a long tail, looking at her with a hint of pity all the time .
Lan Che was very frustrated, very frustrated, because the princess didn’t seem to like what he showed her. He was obviously strong, but the princess gave him a whip. Does it have to shed his tail?
If the princess likes it, it is not impossible to shed her tail.
Lan Che’s tense face suddenly relaxed, and his eyes looking at Jing Zhao became tender again. If it was his legs, the princess would be able to accept him!
It’s not clear what he was imagining, but after seeing him clean up, Jing Zhao took people directly to the queen’s palace.
As soon as I entered, I saw the queen and Lizhen sitting on the edge of the flower table, looking like a mother and daughter loving each other. Seeing her coming, Lizhen got up in surprise, “Sister, you are here!”
Jing Zhao looked at the queen, gave her a court salute, and then looked at Li Zhen. It seemed that the queen had put a lot of thought into it, and it didn’t take much time. A little daisy when she first entered the palace has now become a daisy. Elegant irises, Lizhen is wearing a light blue palace dress and a delicate princess tiara on her head. She already has the appearance of a princess of a country.
Jing Zhao’s expression was still lukewarm, and he said rather coldly, “I heard that you are going to choose a guard, congratulations.”
“Thank you, sister. The queen mother said, since I am an adult, I should choose a guard of my own. I don’t know how to make a contract? I don’t know if it is difficult. Sister, what should I do if I fail? ”
Compared with the shyness when we first met, Lizhen now speaks much more generously. In Jing Zhao’s view, it is the difference between self-confidence and lack of self-confidence. Before Lizhen felt that she had nothing, so she inevitably felt inferior. Now she has Everything, the confidence will naturally multiply.
After Lizhen finished speaking, Jing Zhao heard the queen say before she could speak: “What nonsense, contract guarding is not difficult, your sister can do it with only A-level mental power, Zhen’er, you have S+ mental power, and How could it fail? Are you right, Zhao Er?”
The queen smiled and looked at Jing Zhao with an amiable look. Jing Zhao pulled his lips, sat down on the other side of the rectangular flower table, and said, “Of course, Li Zhen will succeed.”
Hearing what Jing Zhao said, Li Zhen was obviously very happy, while the queen gave Jing Zhao a meaningful look, then looked away, and motioned to the maid, and soon a person in a blue and white maid uniform came in and handed over to the queen. She took out something like an envelope, and said, “Queen, this is the admission notice for Princess Lizhen sent by Principal Rosso.”
Seeing the notice, the queen obviously became nervous, first glanced at Jing Zhao, and then signaled the maid to accept the notice.
But Lizhen took the notice from the maid with a happy face, opened it and said, “Mother, it really is the admission notice from Imperial College. I can go to Imperial College to study!”
Lizhen received an invitation from Imperial College before after the results of the mental power test came out, but she refused because of her adoptive mother’s request. Now she has a second chance.
After being happy, Li Zhen looked at Jing Zhao again, “By the way, my sister is as old as me, is she also studying at Imperial College? Can I go with my sister…”
Before Lizhen finished speaking, she was interrupted by the queen, “Lizhen, your sister didn’t study at Imperial College.”
Lizhen was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask why, when she suddenly remembered the reason. Imperial College has very strict admission requirements, and only accepts students with mental strength above S+. Lizhen knows it, but she thinks that since her sister is from the Princess, although her spiritual power has not reached S rank, as a princess, she may have certain privileges.
“I’m sorry, sister, I…” Lizhen also realized that she might have poked Jing Zhao’s sore spot at this time, and she was not so happy even holding the notice.
The queen’s goal was achieved, and she deliberately looked at Jing Zhao’s face, and added fuel to the fire, “Zhaoer, don’t mind, Zhener is unintentional, although your spiritual power level has not yet reached S level, but if you If you want to study at Imperial College, the queen mother will tell Principal Rosso to let you go with Zhen’er, so that you can have a companion in the future, what do you think?”
The queen is familiar with Jing Zhao’s temperament, and she will definitely not agree to such a thing that hurts her self-esteem, and she will… Before the queen’s thoughts are settled, Jing Zhao hooked her lips and smiled: “Okay, I am also going to Imperial College Take a look, then I will trouble the queen mother.”
Queen: “…”
The smile on the Queen’s face froze for an instant, and she looked at Jing Zhao probingly, but the other party looked away after finishing speaking, and did not meet her gaze.
Lizhen cheered and sat next to Jing Zhao, looking genuinely happy.
Seeing the picture of the two seeming to be in love with each other, the queen felt that it was an eyesore, so she turned her head and ordered the maid to let the Hunyuan who participated in the selection enter the palace.
A total of six Hunyuan people participated in the selection this time, and there were only four when Jing Zhao selected them.
Pretending not to understand the queen’s deliberate discrimination, he looked away from the Hunyuan people who came in. Jing Zhao just picked up the teacup by the table, and saw Lan who followed the Hunyuan people into the hall dragging his tail. thorough.
Lan Che came in and attracted the attention of the Queen and Lizhen, but he was Jing Zhao’s guard, and he was always by Jing Zhao’s side to protect her safety, and there was nothing wrong with the rules, so the Queen didn’t say anything.
On the other hand, when Li Zhen saw Lan Che, she couldn’t help but think of the scene of her being strangled by a human snake, unable to breathe and almost suffocating to death. She couldn’t help being a little afraid, but at the same time curious. , to be able to accept such a terrifying Hunyuan person by her side as her guard.
Lan Che will never disobey his orders hastily, because he is much larger than ordinary Hunyuan people, so in such occasions where there are all female relatives, Jing Zhao usually asks him to stay outside the door, but now he does it without authorization. Entering the hall, is it because of something?
Covered by the purple feather fan in his hand, Jing Zhao raised his head and glanced at Lan Che who was standing behind her, and saw him staring at Hu Hunyuan, one of the six Hunyuan people opposite, with extremely unkind eyes.
Human-tiger Hunyuan people have many atavistic parts, including a pair of tiger ears on the top of his head, a tiger tail behind him, and a pair of tiger paws.
In addition to human tigers, there are also human cats, human birds, and human elephants. Among them, the human cat is a female hybrid, with black cat ears on the head, emerald green eyes, and a long cat tail behind her. It looks really **** and attractive. Cute, it must be a happy thing to have such a Hunyuan person guarding by his side.
Jing Zhao stared at the human-cat Hunyuan for a little longer, and Lan Che, who looked away from the Hunyuan, noticed Jing Zhao’s gaze, and after seeing the interest in her eyes for the human-cat Hunyuan, he subconsciously clenched his eyes. Fist, and then the tail around the body moved secretly, quietly got under the table and wrapped around Jing Zhao’s ankle.
She’s really getting bolder and bolder, and now she even dares to make tricks for her behind her back.
Looking back at Lan Che with a warning glance, the other party still had a cold face, but when she looked over, his expression softened a little, and Jing Zhao felt the snake’s tail on his ankle tightened again.
Seeing that he didn’t have any other actions, Jing Zhao didn’t bother to care about him anymore and let him go.
Along with the six Hunyuan people entering the hall, there is also a trainer who is responsible for guarding the Hunyuan people. He is explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the six Hunyuan people to Lizhen one by one.
The advantage of the human cat is obvious, it is very fast, and it is the only woman present. Except for Jing Zhao, many female nobles will give priority to choosing female mixed people as their guards when choosing guards. Lizhen is no exception. Like Jing Zhao, she has a crush on the only cat person present. Even though she is not the strongest among the six Hunyuan people, Lizhen still chooses the human cat as her guard.
After the decision was made, it was the contract ceremony. The cat named Ke Lei walked out of the Hunyuan team, and respectfully performed a subordinate etiquette to Lizhen.
“What should I do?” Li Zhen looked at the trainer.
The young trainer replied: “Princess Lizhen, just put your hand on Ke Lei’s forehead, and then use your mental power.”
Lizhen did as the trainer said, and used her mental power to feel the Hunyuan people under her. Ke Lei didn’t make any resistance, so the process of the contract became very smooth.
The queen looked at Lizhen who looked relaxed in the arena, and then showed a satisfied smile on her face.
Thinking back, when Jing Zhao made the contract with Lan Che, it was a waste of effort. Even if Lan Che voluntarily let her make the contract, the contract process lasted for a long time before it was successful.
This is the difference between A-level mental power and S-level mental power.
If Jing Zhao was still the old Jing Zhao, she would definitely be stimulated by all kinds of things that happened today and do some irrational things, but now, she just put it aside to watch a play, no matter who invites her to watch a play.
But there is obviously another important event to come. Just when Lizhen’s contract ceremony is about to end, Renhu who is standing by the side suddenly raised his head, blood red eyes with a fierce light, and suddenly directed at the girl sitting at the flower table. Jing Zhao rushed over.
This sudden change frightened the maids serving in the palace. The trainer was assisting Lizhen in the contract ceremony, and had no time to stop him, so he could only watch Renhu rush towards Jing Zhao.
The queen’s Hunyuan guards are also around, but the guards are only loyal to the master’s orders. If the queen doesn’t speak, even Princess Lizhen’s life and death have nothing to do with him.
Jing Zhao’s level of mental power is not high, even if he tried his best to dodge, he was still slapped on the face by the tiger’s palm, leaving a terrible wound, and the beautiful face also left deep and visible scars.
This is what happened in the original plot, but now, Jing Zhao, who wears so many Lanche’s accompanying crystals every day, has quietly increased his spiritual power by a large amount, and can completely subdue a mere human tiger, and Lanche Also beside Jing Zhao, how could it be possible for Hu to hurt her.
When the human and tiger had just rioted, Lanche had already started, and the thick snake tail instantly entangled the human and tiger tightly, holding it in the air and wrapping it into a cocoon. In less than a moment, the movement of the human and tiger’s struggle gradually disappeared. When the guards outside the palace heard the movement, they all broke into the main hall at this time, and surrounded the people and tigers with weapons.
Jing Zhao asked Lan Che to let go of the man. Lan Che originally wanted to hang the human tiger to death, but after hearing Jing Zhao’s order, he let go of the human tiger, retracted his snake tail, and looked at the human tiger lying on the ground. The bones all over his body were like a limp human tiger, and Lan Che’s dark eyes still surged with murderous intent.
The queen has been pampered and pampered for a long time, and this is the first time she has encountered such a thing. After she was still in shock, she immediately walked to Lizhen’s side and hugged her to comfort her.
Lizhen was also taken aback, but her contract ceremony was carried on to the end without being interrupted, so it was completed without any risk.
The two mother and daughter hugged each other and said a few words, and then remembered Jing Zhao who was almost attacked by a tiger just now. The queen originally wanted to maintain her image of a loving mother in front of Jing Zhao, but she just showed her true feelings and ignored Jing Zhao , Facing Jing Zhao at this time, the smile on his face was inevitably a little stiff.
“Zhaoer, how are you? Are you all right?”
“Don’t worry, queen mother, I’m fine.” Jing Zhao smiled, like a normal person, as if he didn’t pay attention to what happened just now.
The queen also ignored her at this time, and turned to look at the trainer with a serious face and said, “What’s the matter with this tiger?”
The trainer was also terrified. The Hunyuan people sent here for selection were all carefully selected after layers of selection. Who knows why this person suddenly became violent? He was also very confused, no Knowing the reason, he could only kneel on the ground and kowtow to plead guilty, begging the queen for forgiveness.
The queen immediately ordered them to be taken away to investigate the reason thoroughly.
As for the reason, Jing Zhao actually knows a little bit about it. It is probably that the Hunyuan people are dissatisfied with being suppressed and restrained by the Zhenyuan people for a long time, so they resisted.
Now there is a team of Hunyuan people in the empire who are secretly preparing to rebel and revolt. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the empire is dealing with this matter, but he did not expect that Hunyuan people who had already developed a rebellious heart had sneaked into the palace and entered the palace. In the selection team of the princess.
This incident was actually an accident, but in the original plot, Jing Zhao took it for granted as a trick Lizhen wanted to use against herself. Otherwise, why would the Hunyuan people only attack her and not others?
The disfigurement became the reason for her blackening and turning bad, and then she kept finding all kinds of excuses to fight against Lizhen and the queen, a real vicious female supporting role.
After this incident happened, the queen and Lizhen were not in a good mood, so Jing Zhao also took the opportunity to resign and left the queen’s palace.
After she got out of the palace gate, she turned to ask Lan Che who was following her, “How do you know that there is something wrong with that man?”
Jing Zhao will know because these are all things she has experienced. What about Lan Che?
Rancher thought for a moment before answering, “Rampant, he smells of Rampant.”
When Lanche was thrown into the Colosseum, the people in the Colosseum injected them with a lot of rage potions in order to allow the interstellar beasts to attack him. Lanche was also very sensitive to the smell of the rage potions.
He could smell it when that person walked past him.
It turned out to be like this, Jing Zhao nodded thoughtfully, and the two walked out of the gate of the palace, the sun was setting late, Jing Zhao was just about to step down the stone ladder with the hem of his skirt, when he was suddenly hugged horizontally.
Lan Che lowered his eyes and said seriously: “Princess, I will carry you back.”
Jing Zhao was a little surprised by the standard princess hug posture, and then put his hands around his neck, and praised him, “I’ve made progress.”
Lan Che stepped down the stone ladder with his arms in his arms, without shaking at all.
Hearing this, she bent her lips and said, “Princess, I can grow even more.”
Jing Zhao: “?”
