The Indifferent Prince's Substitute

Lin Yan turned her head to look around, and walked through the courtyard gate to look for Ankang's figure.

This should be the backyard of the temple, with winding paths and whirling bamboo forests. Occasionally, monks walk by slowly, and pilgrims sit in the pavilion and by the pond.

While walking, Lin Yan searched for traces of Ankang, and suddenly a little girl rushed towards him diagonally. Knowing that she couldn't see her, Lin Yan hurriedly dodged to the side.

"Wan'er, what did you teach you yesterday? Manners!" A woman dressed in plain clothes but with noble temperament behind her said angrily.

"Oh." The little girl quickly stopped beside Lin Yan, turned around and saluted the woman politely, "Mother, I was wrong."

"Go back and copy yesterday's homework a hundred times!" The woman flicked her sleeves and walked forward angrily.

The little girl hurriedly followed.

"Her name is Yuan Wan'er, she is the queen." A voice suddenly came from beside Lin Yan, Lin Yan turned her head in shock, and saw Ankang standing beside him.

Lin Yan patted his chest, "I was looking for you, where did you come from?"

"Let's go." Ankang didn't answer, and followed the little girl.

Lin Yan followed suit.

Yuan Wan'er and her woman named Niang entered a secluded small courtyard. Lin Yan walked to the gate of the courtyard, but Ankang stopped suddenly. He asked suspiciously, "Why don't you go in?"

Ankang turned his head to look at him, Lin Yan's eyes flickered, and the next moment, he found himself sitting on the ridge of the roof.

"You did it?" Lin Yan looked at the eaves below him and asked Ankang in surprise.

"Hmm." Ankang responded lightly and looked down at the yard below.

Lin Yan also looked down, and there was a water tank in the middle of the yard. There were a few round and large lotus leaves floating on the water in the tank, and a few slim lotus flowers. The pink flower buds had already bloomed halfway. There is a lotus fragrance.

Yuan Wan'er came out of the east room, followed by a nanny holding a ruler. The two stood still in the yard, and the nanny began to teach her etiquette.

The nanny is very strict. If Yuan Wan'er does not stand up straight or bends down to salute, she will hit her on the back severely with a ruler and reprimand: "Stand up! You can't even learn the etiquette well. In the future How do you enter the palace and become a queen?!"

Yuan Wan'er swayed her body, gritted her teeth and stood up straight again.

Lin Yan was speechless looking from the eaves. In order to be a queen, does it need to be so strict?

"Ma'am, the Grand Tutor is here..." A servant suddenly came in from outside the courtyard and knocked on the second room on the east side. Yuan Wan'er's mother came out of the room and hurried away with her nanny. Before leaving, she left Yuan Wan'er alone in the courtyard. Keep practicing etiquette.

As soon as the two left, Yuan Wan'er let out a sigh of relief, lazily rubbed her back that was hurt just now, walked to the water tank, leaned slightly, and said cheerfully: "Little carp, where are you hiding? Come out, my mother and the others go out!" gone."

The lotus leaf on the water moved, and a small carp got its head out of the water.

Yuan Wan'er giggled and reached out to touch the little carp's head, lying on the side of the water tank and said, "Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."

After speaking, he turned and went back to the room, quickly took out a piece of snack, crushed it and sprinkled it on the water.

The little carp flicked its tail and started eating in the water.Yuan Wan'er looked at it cheerfully, and said, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, there are more."

The little carp was full, jumped up from the water, rubbed its head against Yuan Wan'er's face, then fell into the water with a splash, the water splashed Yuan Wan'er's face, Yuan Wan'er was not unhappy, but laughed happily.

The moment the little carp jumped up, Lin Yan saw a small red dot on its head, and he turned to look at Ankang, who had a small red mole on Ankang's forehead.

Ankang looked down at the happy girl in the yard without blinking, and said, "The carp in the fish tank is me. After she saved me and gave me money to let me go that day, I knew she was going to live in Linghua Temple." After a period of time, I changed into my original form and came to peek at her. She thought I was just an ordinary little carp in this water tank."

Originally, he only wanted to take a look at her before going back to recuperate, but he didn't expect that this company would last for ten years.

In the yard, Yuan Wan'er was still playing with the little carp, and Ankang was fascinated by it.Lin Yan couldn't bear it, but had no choice but to interrupt: "What is that thing you haven't done? We have to go back after the incense burns."

"Here we come." Ankang came back to his senses, glanced outside the courtyard, and his voice sank.

Lin Yan turned her head and looked out of the courtyard, and saw Yuan Wan'er's mother and nanny hurried back from the outside with the servants. She didn't know what happened, and her face was ugly. When she came into the yard and saw Yuan Wan'er playing with the little carp by the water tank, she was furious. Furiously said: "Teach you to practice hard, you only know how to play with one fish all day long! How can you become a queen like this! You carry the entire Yuan family on your back, not yourself!"

"Come on, throw the fish out of the water tank! Mommy, lock her up in the back mountain and let her teach her a lesson!"

"Mother, I was wrong! I don't dare anymore, don't throw the little carp out..." Yuan Wan'er yelled in fright, the servant quickly stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, fished out the little carp from the water tank, turned around go outside.

Yuan Wan'er wanted to catch up, but she was grabbed by the nanny, and she was roughly dragged through the back door to the back mountain.

Lin Yan turned to look at Ankang, Ankang's complexion was tense, and his fists were clenched.Lin Yan's eyes flickered, and in the next moment, he found himself standing on the grass, surrounded by woods, and in front of him was a simple log cabin.

A girl's crying and flapping came from the cabin, "Let me out, let me out. Mother, don't leave me here, I'm afraid..."

Lin Yan suddenly realized that this is the back mountain.

He turned his head and looked around, the surrounding forest was deep and deep, and there was only this small wooden house with closed doors and windows nearby.

"She was locked in this wooden house all night." Ankang said, "I was thrown to the cats in the monastery as food, and I finally managed to escape in human form. When I came here, I was afraid that she would find a monster Because of her identity, I only dare to accompany her quietly outside the wooden house."

At that time, he was already severely injured by the thunderbolt, and his mana was severely damaged, so he escaped from the cat's mouth in embarrassment.The face, neck and arms of the barely human figure were covered with fish scales, which was terribly terrifying. He was afraid of scaring her, so he didn't dare to see her, so he just leaned against the wooden door and stayed with her silently all night.

"I should have gone in to accompany her." Ankang said quietly.

This night became a nightmare that the queen would never forget, and he was afraid of the dark ever since. He had seen the queen wake up from the nightmare countless times.Every time he thinks about it later, he regrets not going in to accompany her.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Yan asked him, it was getting dark earlier in the forest than outside, the sun was already setting, and it would be dark here soon.

"I'll be right back." As soon as Ankang finished speaking, he disappeared.

After a while, he came back, holding a bucket full of water in his hand, and there were small fainted carp floating in the water.

Carrying the bucket to the door of the wooden house, Ankang waved his hand, and the door lock snapped.

"Who? Is it the nanny?" Yuan Wan'er sat in the dark wooden house, hugging her knees and leaning against the pile of straw sobbing. When she heard a noise coming from outside, she quickly wiped away her tears. Passing through the empty doorway, I saw fish in a bucket.

"Little carp!" Yuan Wan'er's eyes lit up suddenly, she quickly ran out to pick up the bucket, looked around, looked puzzled, then turned and ran back to the wooden house.

"It's strange, why are you here? Who brought you here?" Yuan Wan'er ran into the door, lowered her head and touched the head of the little carp in the bucket, then turned her head to look at the door.

The forest was silent, only the leaves were shaking and rattling.In the gentle breeze, the carp demon lowered his head for the last time to stare at the girl who brought tenderness and color to his long barren years.

"Goodbye." The carp demon said goodbye in a low voice.

Yuan Wan'er stared blankly at the empty doorway with fallen leaves flying in front of her, turned around and closed the door.

"It's great, I won't be afraid if you are with me." A girl's joyful voice came from the wooden house.

Ankang curled the corner of his mouth, and the next moment, the incense burnt out, and the world was spinning, and the two returned to the dark cave.

The thunder above his head was deafening, the cave was crumbling, and large rocks fell to the ground. Ankang bowed to Lin Yan and said, "Thank you."

"I'll take you back. Goodbye, little tree and vine." Ankang smiled slightly at Lin Yan, pinching the magic formula with his fingers.

Just as Lin Yan was sent back to the room, there were several bangs, and one after another loud noises came from outside the city.After a while, the sound gradually stopped, the heavy rain gradually became smaller, and the sky, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, gradually became brighter.

Lin Yan stood under the porch, staring at the direction outside the city.

"Princess, the empress is here, at the gate of the palace." Suddenly, a servant ran in from the courtyard with an umbrella, put the umbrella under the porch, and came to report.

Lin Yan was startled, took the umbrella from the servant, stepped into the rain, and strode towards the door.

There was a carriage parked at the gate of the palace, and only two guards stood by.Seeing him coming out, a guard came over and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please go to the carriage and talk."

Lin Yan handed the umbrella to the guard, opened the curtain, and got into the carriage.In the carriage, apart from the queen, there was no one else.

"Niang Niang." Lin Yan didn't understand why she came here suddenly in the heavy rain, and saluted her.

The queen nodded gently to him, and said, "Yi'er is here with you, has he ever caused you any trouble?"

"No." Lin Yan shook his head and asked tentatively, "Is your empress here to pick up the little prince?"

"No." The queen looked up at him, "I came to ask you, is Eunuch An still...is he still there?"

Lin Yan was stunned, "...What do you mean, Madam?"

"I know he is a demon." The queen said calmly.

Lin Yan's eyes widened. The carp demon has been trying to hide what the queen has already known.

"When did you know about it? Do you also know about all the things he did for you?" Lin Yan couldn't help asking, if the queen knew about it early in the morning but didn't stop it, then wouldn't she have been using the carp demon all the time? Help her keep her queen position.

"Two years ago." The queen narrowed her eyes, she didn't know that Ankang was a monster from the beginning.Until those concubines in the palace couldn't give birth to a prince, she was not stupid, and soon discovered the abnormality and clues.

Realizing that Ankang is a monster did not startle her too much.As early as when she was a young girl, she had saved a little fish demon.
