His Royal Highness

In the evening, when the sun was setting, people were rushing home to reunite with their families after work, but Chu Xique couldn’t leave because when he was about to leave, he was stopped by Ming Youshan who had just arrived, congratulating Chu Xi Que was promoted, while saying that he would check Chu Xique's eyes.

"I haven't used it much recently, it's okay." Chu Xique evaded.

"It's better to have a look." Ming Youshan said and forced Chu Xique to the chair.

Chu Xique suddenly laughed: "Old Ming, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Ming Youshan paused for a moment, then pulled up a chair and sat down, coughing dryly: "I was discovered by you."

"I didn't bring anything, what are you going to check for me?" Chu Xique chuckled, suddenly a warm towel folded into long strips rushed up and covered Chu Xique's eyes, Chu Xique Xi Que had to raise his head and close his eyes.

"I heard that you've gotten very close to Xinyuehong from the Blood Race recently?" Ming Youshan asked straight to the point, Chu Xique almost fell off the chair.

Why is everyone asking this question when they see me recently?

"Why do you all ask that?" Chu Xique asked as he pressed the towel.

"It was said in the newspaper that you were inseparable." Ming Youshan said, "You helped him avoid bullets, and you helped him get his clothes, and Crescent Moon gave you a drink, and Crescent Red always wanted to get married. Your hand, you disappeared together again during the dinner..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Chu Xique was speechless. He thought it was strange at the time, but it is even more strange now that it was written in the newspaper and made up by entertainment reporters. A few words."

"Don't lie to me, you should know, I know Carlton and Smunov." Ming Youshan said, as the No.1 doctor of the Crusaders back then, although he was a doctor, his military rank was first-class, Because the credit is great.

Chu Xique fell silent.

"I heard that this time, he invited you to his father's wedding again?" Ming Youshan asked.

"No way, the news is so well-informed?" Chu Xique said helplessly, "Yes."

Mingyoushan sighed: "You still don't want to go?"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Chu Xique was puzzled.

Although rumors are flying all over the sky now, logically he should indeed avoid suspicion, but people have sent invitations, and it is a bit embarrassing not to go, not to mention...

"I just think it's better for you and Crescent Red to have less contact," Mingyou Shanyu said earnestly, "Look, after all, he's still a vampire, and he's still very dangerous to humans, and... you know your Blood type?"

Chu Xique was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.

"Then you are still so close to the blood race?" Ming Youshan sounded a little angry.

"I..." Chu Xique remained silent. He seemed to have secretly made up his mind to have less contact with the blood race before, but he still got closer and closer to Louis unconsciously, as if he instinctively thought that the other party would not hurt him.

"Old Ming, you're thinking too much. He's Crescent Moon Red. If he wants to harm me, he doesn't need to put in so much effort." Chu Xique replied.

"Xi Que, listen to me, things are more complicated than you imagined." Ming Youshan said seriously.

"What's the matter?" Chu Xique subconsciously blurted out, but Ming Youshan didn't speak any more, and the two fell into a long silence.

"Anyway, I still advise you not to go, and from now on, you will have less contact with blood clans." Ming Youshan finally said, his voice was very sincere, not like joking.

Chu Xique remained silent.

Will we never see Louis from now on?

"I... I'll think about it." Chu Xique gave a compromise answer.

"I'm doing this for your own good, really." Ming Youshan reached out and took the towel off Chu Xique's face.

Chu Xique always felt that Ming Youshan was hiding something.

But if he asked directly, he probably wouldn't be able to find anything, so he didn't open his mouth, just nodded silently, but he felt that Ming Youshan would not harm him. Objectively speaking, it is indeed a bit dangerous to get so close to the blood race.

Ming Youshan left after ordering these things, and Chu Xique rode back home thoughtfully, since he ran a long way from home to the military headquarters in panting weather that day, he was so tired that he was out of breath After venting his breath, he developed the habit of taking Shan Yu home, just in case he needed it.

"I'm back." Chu Xique shouted.

"You're back, Que'er, why is it so late today?" Qin Wanxi said.

"Old Ming is here, check my eyes." Chu Xique tied Shan Yu and walked into the house.

"So that's how it is. Hurry up and help." Qin Wanxi stood at the door of the kitchen and beckoned. Chu Xique went in helplessly, and then Qin Wanxi stuffed a few potatoes into her arms, "Cut the potatoes for me."

"... Oh." Chu Xique reluctantly responded and helped his mother cut potatoes, "Where's Dad?"

"Your father is on a business trip to the Red City, and he won't be back until a few days later." Qin Wanxi replied.

"Ah? He's going to the Red City?" Chu Xique's heart tightened.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Qin Wanxi asked.

"It's nothing..." Chu Xique shook her head, and continued to cut potatoes, while Qin Wanxi was washing vegetables, but Chu Xique was still thinking wildly, and her mind was not on cutting potatoes at all.

Finally, Chu Xique said, "Mom, have you ever met a blood race before?"

Qin Wanxi paused for a moment, then continued, "I've seen it."

Chu Xique didn't speak, and quietly listened to Qin Wanxi's narration.

"That was when you were two years old. The Crusaders had just been established and repelled some troops from the Dia continent."

"At that time, I went to the street to buy vegetables and came home. I saw a child on the side of the road. He seemed to be a homeless child. He was dirty and homeless. I thought he was very pitiful, so I went up and asked a few words. .”

"Later he told me that he was a vampire and told me to stay away from him, but I thought he was still so young, even a vampire should not ignore it, so I gave him an apple and fed him some blood. "

"Your father told me only after I got home that the vampires can't eat food other than blood, and I really did, haha." Qin Wanxi smiled.

Chu Xique was silent. His mother seemed to really regard Louis as a blood cub, but he didn't recognize Louis when he pretended to be Rhett, and her mother certainly wouldn't recognize him.

This guy already knew how to pretend to be tender 19 years ago.

"I don't know how he is doing now, if you happen to meet Que'er, please say hello for me." Qin Wanxi said.

"Okay." Chu Xique responded, thinking that he has now become the first prince of the blood clan, and has a promising future.

Hey he's thinking of something gibberish.

"Also, Que, I don't know if you remember." Qin Wanxi said, "You were saved by the blood clan."

"Huh?" Chu Xique was startled.

"About when you were six years old, Lancheng was invaded by blood clans," Chu Xique said, "At that time, your father went to the front to report and was not there. I took you to escape, but encountered attacks from blood clans on the way. "

"As a result, a person rushed out and drove away those blood races. That person seemed to be quite strong, and... he was quite handsome!" Qin Wanxi covered her face with her hands and smiled.

Chu Xique suddenly had a memory.

He remembered that when he was six years old, he and his mother escaped from the war together and were intercepted by vampires. Suddenly, a man stood in front of them. He was dressed in red and looked handsome. Return.

Only then did Chu Xique understand why he had such a strong sense of déjà vu when he was attacked by vampires in Vesery Castle and Louis came to rescue him, but he didn't have it before.

Because he was only six years old at the time, all he saw was looking up. Now he looks at Louis head-up, so naturally he doesn't feel it, but that day, when he looked at Louis' back, he was sitting on the ground .

"It's Louis..." Chu Xique murmured, wondering if he should say thank you when he saw Louis later, he would definitely come anyway.

However, it was very miraculous that Louis had been missing for the past few days, which made Chu Xique a little strange. This guy who had been around him from time to time suddenly disappeared, and he was really uncomfortable.

"Team... Vice Minister, what's wrong with you?"

Su Qian noticed that Chu Xique was in a daze, so she went up to ask. Unfortunately, it has been two or three days since they haven't changed the name, it's because they are used to it.

"It doesn't matter if you don't change the address." Chu Xique looked at the corner of the wall, pulled the reins and walked away.

"That's not good...and the deputy minister, you don't have to patrol the streets in person!" Su Qian said.

"It's okay, I like to patrol the streets, and if a horse never rides, he will be unfamiliar with me." Chu Xique said and stroked Shan Yu's mane.

"Well, it's true." Su Qian didn't say anything anymore.

"Look, take a look, fresh vegetables and fruits!" Someone peddled on the street, carrying two baskets of various vegetables and fruits, Chu Xique turned his head and saw the bright red tomatoes in the box.

……This color.Chu Xique silently turned his head away, he felt that he couldn't look directly at this color these days.

But on the other side, Chu Xique saw Beichi Restaurant.

"..."

Now that you're here, let's go in and have a look.

Chu Xique got off his horse and entered the shop. Sure enough, Bei Chiwulang was entertaining guests, and he was very happy to see Chu Xique: "Brother Chu! Long time no see!"

"Long time no see, Goro." Chu Xique smiled.

"Brother Chu heard that you have been promoted? Congratulations!" Goro said with a smile.

"Haha, thank you." Chu Xique smiled, and was about to say something when Goro suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute, let me guess—saury?"

"Yes!" Chu Xique nodded.

"Come on!" Goro said, and went into the counter to grill saury, while Chu Xique came to the seat in front of the counter and looked around. It seemed that he was sitting here last time, but the seat next to it was empty. .

Chu Xique regretted it, he shouldn't have come in.

"Come, try it." Goro grilled the saury and brought it to Chu Xique. Chu Xique picked up the chopsticks and realized that he didn't seem to have opened the saury himself.

Chu Xique was speechless, why did it feel like his shadow was everywhere, lingering and lingering.

In desperation, he had no choice but to disassemble the saury himself, but obviously the technique needs to be improved, and the fish was cold when dismantled.

After eating the fish, Chu Xique was about to go back to the military headquarters. He thought that if he went to patrol the streets again, he might see something strange again, so it was better to go back home quickly.

Chu Xique turned around and left the shop, at this moment Goro called softly: "Su Qian!"

"what?"

"What happened to your deputy minister today." Goro asked.

"I don't know, it seems special..." Su Qian looked at Chu Xique, who was in the store, and organized his words, "Anxiety."

Su Qian paused, and then changed the word: "Irritable."

"Pfft." Goro couldn't hold back his laughter, "Peace your vice minister well."

Su Qian was a little puzzled, but still nodded: "Oh, I see." Then she turned and followed Chu Xique out.

Goro sighed, shook his head with a smile, and looked down at the cup in his hand, which was faintly stained with blood.

"Fortunately, I put it away in time."

It's all because you're not here
