Lan Xin couldn't answer Ke Jia's three consecutive questions, and shook her head slightly, "I was not caught. I hid in the utility room and didn't come out. I only saw a black shadow. Now I suspect that the black shadow is the queen. She is afraid My appearance revealed a fake tell, so I was anxious to silence my words as soon as I moved in."
Ke Jia had already looked at Lan Xin thoroughly, and was completely relieved when he found that there was no scar on her body.
"It's a good thing you're fine, otherwise I can't forgive myself." Ke Jia said, shaking Lan Xin's hand, "I didn't protect you back then, which caused us to be separated for thirteen years. Now you're back By my side, even if I risk my life, I will protect you!"
Lan Xin was not in the mood to listen to Ke Jia's confession, she withdrew her hand and said with a sad face, "I think it's better for us to separate, she has already murdered me, and I will only bring you trouble."
"No!" Ke Jia heard the word "separate", and his calm expression broke instantly.
He hugged Lan Xin in his arms, holding her and refused to let go, "I don't allow you to think that way! You will only bring me happiness, there is no trouble at all! I will never let go in this life , I will never let you slip away from me again!"
Lan Xin was strangled so hard that she felt that now was not the time to say this to Ke Jia.
The palace is full of dangers, she must leave as soon as possible, and then quickly find Lingxi.
"We'll talk about this later. The most important thing now is to take me out of here." Lan Xin was extremely calm, "But you still have to go to the morning meeting. I'll wait for you to come back at the back of the hall, and then take me away."
This "take me away" was very helpful to Ke Jia, he shook his head directly and said, "It's okay if you don't go to the meeting earlier, your safety is the most important thing, I will take you away now."
"But..." Lan Xin's eyes were full of melancholy, "I don't want to involve you..."
This time, before Lan Xin could finish speaking, Ke Jia couldn't help but embraced her in his arms, and strode towards the outside of the palace, "This is no longer something you think about. In this life, I will depend on you!"
Lan Xin still wanted to say something more, but she caught sight of a group of guards coming from the corner, and immediately stopped struggling, obediently nestled in Ke Jia's arms, and walked out following his pace.
Ke Jia walked steadily, stared straight ahead, his face remained expressionless as usual, but his heart was filled with joy.
This was the first time in so many years that Lan Xin was so close to him, so intimately nestled in his arms.
On his arm is her warm body temperature, and the tip of his nose is lingering with her faint hair fragrance. Wherever he looks, there is her cautious and forbearing figure that is afraid of being discovered.
This kind of intimate contact is a completely new experience, which makes Ke Jia feel overwhelmed with happiness, as satisfied as having the whole world in his arms!
He suddenly wanted to stop time and let them go on like this for a long time until the end of their lives.
Ke Jia's heart was full of joy and happiness, but at this moment, Lan Xin's heart was beating like a drum, and every step she took was extra careful, and the steps she put down were as light as a cat's.
Although she knew that the team of guards walking towards them was just patrolling normally, she was always worried that the guards would suddenly surround her and catch her in front of Chu Fengyi.
Seeing the team of guards getting closer and closer, Lan Xin was so nervous that she forgot to breathe, and even her steps became flustered.
Ke Jia noticed Lan Xin's nervousness, silently squeezed her hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, with me here, no one here can hurt you."
This confident and steady voice instantly soothed Lan Xin's nervousness, and she finally let out a long sigh of relief, and her wrinkled face relaxed.
Ke Jia was amused by the smile on Lan Xin's face, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, but it only took half a second before he returned to his previous sternness.
The guards got closer and closer, and when they saw Ke Jia, they didn't dare to look up, and they all bent down to say hello, "Hello, General Ke!"
"Well," Ke Jia snorted softly, without looking over at all, and said coldly, "Go and do your work!"
"Yes!" The guards responded in unison, gradually leaving Ke Jia's sight.
After hearing their footsteps fade away, Lan Xin was finally completely relieved, and subconsciously wanted to look back.
It's just that before she turned her head away, Ke Jia had already pinched her chin, "Don't look back, just lean on me and keep walking."
His overly serious tone frightened Lan Xin to nod immediately, thinking that she had attracted the attention of the guards.
In order not to cause trouble to Ke Jia, Lan Xin snuggled into Ke Jia's arms as before, not daring to make any other small moves.
The corners of Ke Jia's thin lips rose again, a successful smile flashed in his eyes, and he hugged himself tightly silently.
In fact, those guards were all respectful when they saw him, how could they have the slightest suspicion?
The reason why he said that was because he didn't want Lan Xin to leave his embrace.
But no matter how reluctant Ke Jia is, the road leading to the palace will always come to an end.
He even felt that in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of his car with Lan Xin in his arms.
"Oh, it turns out that this road is so short." Ke Jia sighed silently in his heart, his stern eyebrows slightly frowned.
When Lan Xin saw the car, her worries were completely relieved, she immediately opened the door and got in, and sat in the back row.
"What are you still doing? Let's go!"
After sitting firmly, Lan Xin waved to Ke Jia from the half-open car, reminding him to leave as soon as possible, "We still have to find Lingxi, hurry up."
"Well," Ke Jia nodded in response, bent down to get into the car, closed the door and suggested earnestly, "I think you can sit in the co-pilot."
He really didn't want to be separated from Lan Xin at all, even if it was just driving, he wanted her to sit within his sight.
"Front row? It's better not to, the back is more safe and hidden." Lan Xin shook her head cautiously, insisting on not sitting in the co-pilot.
Knowing Lan Xin's stubborn nature, Ke Jia didn't insist anymore, so he shook his head helplessly, started the car and left the palace.
At this time, in the palace, Chu Fengyi was sitting under the window sill, looking down at the beautiful nails that had just been done.
Her fingertips were trimmed into beautiful sharp shapes, and the latest nail gel was used on them, which were painted in a charming cat's eye green. From a distance, they looked like the nails of a cat demon.
Chu Fengyi stared at her nails twice, raised her hand to look at the light outside the window, and then said slowly, "Well, it's really beautiful. Somebody, go find Lan Xin and make a copy for her."
"Yes, queen."
The maid in the house responded and withdrew, and went to Lan Xin's residence to find her.
When Chu Fengyi saw the maid walking away, a gloomy light flashed in her eyes, and she quickly returned to her previous luxurious indifference.
