After the rebirth, the cold prince clings to me every day

Chapter 517 The Princess and the Shadow 27
In the two years when Berlin just "leaved", the third brother John often stayed by her side and greeted her in various ways.

In the beginning, Alice was immersed in the pain of losing her lover, and she didn't think much about it. She only thought that he simply loved her sister and was very grateful to him.

But after a long time, there will always be flaws.

After sensing John's thoughts, apart from feeling alienated, she just alienated him.After all, regardless of this point at the time, John really helped her a lot.

Shen Mingjiao swallowed her saliva: "That's why that John went to great lengths to launch a palace coup, and almost killed Fu Guang, not because he wanted to be the emperor, but because of his mother and concubine."

Shen Mingjiao is speechless. This plot is bloody enough. Being treated by her father as a substitute for her beloved is not counted. Her half-brothers are crazy critics, and they all have strong thoughts about her. I dare not write like that!

I have to say, in such an environment full of lunatics, it is really not easy for Alice to live the life she is today!
It was the first time for Fu Guang to hear his mother mention these things, and he was a little disgusted for a while.

Shen Mingjiao asked curiously: "Then John must be dead! How did he die?"

Fu Guang said coldly: "After the incident was defeated, he was trapped in the bedroom and set himself on fire."

……

An An and Jing Qi strolled around, and the two children came to the port where they escaped and disembarked last time. An An imitated the adults, and sighed old-fashionedly: "We are revisiting the old place!"

Jing Qi eagerly stared at a small fishing boat docked at the port. The two grew up together. An An didn't need to guess what he was thinking: "You want to learn to row, take me with you! Otherwise, I will go back and tell my mother relative."

Jing Qi said with a blank expression, "Then I won't study anymore," she said, and she wanted to go play elsewhere.

"Hey..." An'an grabbed his arm and said speechlessly: "If you grow up, you will definitely lose money if you do business. There is no such thing as you. You may not give any counter-offer."

Jingqi: "I'm not interested in doing business."

An An was angry: "Do you understand me using a metaphor!"

In the end, An An couldn't row the boat, mainly because she was not strong enough and she was too small to hold the oars.He could only watch Jing Qi skillfully slide the oars gradually under the guidance of the sailors from the shore.

Although Jing Qi is only seven or eight years old, he is naturally strong and taller than other children of the same age.

An'an clenched her small fist, bent her elbow and squeezed her shoulder, soft?Hey... She also wants to grow strong muscles like her father!
At that time, she will become a generation of heroines, and she will be invincible in the world!

The little girl was sitting cross-legged on the beach with her chin in her hands, her fantasies getting higher and higher.

Suddenly, the thought of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard in his ear, and his thoughts were disrupted. An An pouted and turned his head in search of sound.

Not far away, an embarrassing man with disheveled hair seemed to be exhausted and fell down.

The man tried to get up, but he couldn't get up after trying several times, and his rough and cracked hands hung down feebly.

Although she couldn't control all the injustices in this world, since they met by chance, An An asked Tangtang who followed him to give the man some water.

Not long after, Tangtang came back and said in a low voice: "That man has a slave mark on his face, he must be a coolie on the island, because he fainted because he didn't get a good rest after working for a long time."

After the words fell, the man barely stood up, walked over and bowed to An An from a distance to thank him.

An An waved her hands politely, raised her head and casually glanced at the other person's face, then couldn't help but blinked her eyes wide.

Hey, I seem to have seen this person somewhere before!

At this moment, Jingqi was thirsty and went ashore to drink water, and she was taken aback when she saw the man standing not far away,
"You're the uncle who helped us escape on Casey's boat last time!"

When Jing Qi said this, An An also remembered. A few months ago, Casey pretended to be her aunt and arrested her and Jing Qi. When they were on Casa Island, they almost alarmed the guards when they escaped. At the critical moment, it was a The uncle with the slave mark on his face helped them.

Later, I heard from my father that when I learned that the two of them had escaped, the people on the boat were afraid of being implicated, so they all wrapped up their things and ran away.

Because the man was too sloppy at this time, An An didn't recognize him immediately.

She felt that she was a child who would repay her kindness, and after learning that this man was their savior, she hurried to get him something to eat.

The man took it with some trepidation, and after thanking him, he gobbled it up.The two children squatted down and stared at him curiously.

An An asked, "Uncle, what's your name?"

Jing Qi: "Uncle, don't you know martial arts? Why..." You are so poor!

The man didn't speak, pointed to his throat, and lowered his head sadly.

A guard of the Great Moon Kingdom who came over explained in a low voice: "This person should be the most lowly criminal slave, usually a slave who is sold after the master's accident. In order to make these people obedient, some buyers will poison the slaves. throat so that it can be used better."

It sounds pathetic.

The main reason is that this person has saved them. After discussion, the two children decided to take him back first, and then the adults came forward to thank them.

The man seemed to have lost his temper due to reality, and followed them numbly,
When he followed into this luxury inn, a faint light flashed in his eyes covered by messy hair.

……

The setting sun is about to set, and walking on the beach seems to be coated with a layer of light.

Alice was barefoot, feeling the soft and warm veil brushing over the instep, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks came from time to time in her ears. Such a pleasant scenery made people feel better for no reason.

She turned around casually like many times in her memory, this time, finally, there was no empty space behind her, and the shadow followed her not far or near.

Alice's nose was a little sour.

She stopped and turned to look at him.Berlin took a few steps to join her.

Alice held his hand: "You are not my shadow now, you don't have to walk behind me,"

Berlin shook his head: "I'm used to it, it's more convenient to protect you that way."

The two walked hand in hand on the beach, Alice raised her head, looking at the sea, and when they met again, the sideburns of the person next to her had been weathered, but her back was still straight.

She said with emotion: "I have known you for so many years, it seems that I have never watched the sunset side by side in such a leisurely way."

For the past ten years or so, he was her shadow. Although she got along day and night, she seldom talked to him. She was just used to having such a person who followed her silently.
Later, the two reunited in Daxia, and after returning to China, they were faced with swords and swords, and her mind was almost entirely focused on how to get revenge and seize the throne. Except for certain times, the state of the two of them was tense.

After finally getting revenge, the two can be together, and another accident happened in Berlin...

Alice clenched Berlin's hand tightly: "My life has been full of ups and downs, but in my heart, the best time is not the years when I was young in the castle, but the dangerous years after returning home,"

Because there is this person who has been with her and fought side by side with her.

She shook Berlin's arm, and said speechlessly: "Why don't you give a response, it's like this when you were young, and it's still like this when you're old!"

Berlin unscrewed the water bag and handed it to her, saying silently: "The days are the best when the princess is around,"

This was answering what she said just now, and Alice was finally satisfied.The two just passed by a lively small market at this time.

Casa Island is as big as a province, and some civilians live on the island, but the living conditions of these residents are not very good.

Alice was rarely interested, so she took Berlin around the market.In order not to disturb the master, several guards followed from a distance.

Alice bought a bunch of useless gadgets, and Berlin took them. Alice explained uncomfortably: "I bought them for Ann."

Berlin didn't speak, but just looked at her softly. At this time, Alice had a bit of the shadow of innocence and recklessness when she was young.

When he went back, looking at the pile of things, he rarely smiled and said, "An An is very similar to you when you were a child."

Alice picked up a bamboo whistle and blew it to her lips:

"No, that little girl is smarter than me! And luckier than me."

With elders like them around, as long as An An is willing, she can always be a pampered little princess.

At this moment, an eight or nine-year-old beggar rushed over and knelt at the feet of the two, crying with snot and tears:

"My mother is sick, I need money to buy medicine, please..." After finishing speaking, she kowtowed her head.

The guard following behind frowned, and was about to step forward, Berlin took out his waist pocket and took some silver and handed it to him.
The little beggar was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't have any hope, and then he took the money excitedly and kowtowed heavily in thanks.Unhooked a large cork from his body and put it in the hands of Berlin:

"This is the most decent thing on me. Thank you, Uncle. Uncle, you are such a good person. You will definitely be rewarded." After speaking, he ran away with the money in his hand.

Alice laughed at him: "This kid is probably a liar!"

Not all children are pure and ignorant. Some children who have lived in the black triangle have even killed people at a young age. It is common practice to use children as bait to deceive businessmen.

In those years when she was the empress, she had come across too many unbelievable cases, so she said that the little boy just now was probably a liar.

Berlin didn't care: "It's good to have a clear conscience, in case that child really encounters difficulties!"

Alice said with emotion: "You are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all!" Indifferent but soft-hearted.

"However, the development power of each country is still not strong enough! It would be great if one day the people of the Great Moon Kingdom can be fed and clothed!"

She just said casually, after all, although Da Yue's national power is still strong, if it is to say that all the people are fed and clothed, at least it will not be sure in another thousand years!
……

On the other side, the two children brought people back to the inn, and An An asked the maid: "Where are the parents, aunts, grandparents, and grandparents?"

The servant girl replied respectfully: "Except for the prince, they are all in their respective rooms."

An An asked for some food for the sloppy man who was following him, and went to Shen Mingjiao's room.

At this moment, Shen Mingjiao, who heard the commotion, just came out, glanced at the scruffy man standing cramped in Datang through the fence on the second floor, and asked the two children: "This is..."

An An dragged Shen Mingjiao into the room, and told the ins and outs of the incident.

Shen Mingjiao patted her head: "Well, An An did a great job, we must know how to repay your kindness, since she saved you, we must thank him well."

After finishing speaking, he recruited the waiter to let the kitchen make a table of noodles, intending to entertain the man well.

Soon the dishes were served on the table, and the man changed into clean clothes, but still bowed his head in awe, his eyes numb.

Shen Mingjiao warmly greeted the other party to eat, and toasted the other party with a glass of wine: "My husband and mother-in-law can't get away because they have something to do, so I will entertain you today. Thank you for your kindness in saving my two children in a critical moment."

She spoke Chinese, and the man obviously didn't understand, but he could roughly guess the meaning, so he waved his hands flattered,
The meal was a joy for both the host and the guest, although the man could not speak, but with Shen Mingjiao and An An talking from time to time, the atmosphere did not seem awkward.

After eating, Shen Mingjiao asked the man to take the man to the wing to rest:
"If you have nothing to do, please stay at the inn for now, and thank you solemnly after my husband finishes his work."

Glancing at the elegantly decorated inn.The man hesitated for a few breaths, but finally he was unwilling to refuse.

When they left, Shen Mingjiao waved An An and the two back to the room to read, then walked towards Fuguang's room.

An An's big eyes rolled quickly, and she was about to follow quietly, but someone grabbed her by the collar.

An An stared, and said with her mouth: "Why are you pulling me?"Mother is weird, there is obviously something wrong, hey!

Jing Qi dragged him back to the room, and said with a serious face:
"That's an adult's business, and it must be a very serious matter. At this time, children can't make trouble, you know?"

An An pursed her lips, but didn't say she wanted to go out again.

In the room, the man took off his clothes. If someone opened the door and saw it, he would be shocked. He saw that his body was covered with gunpowder. He took off the gunpowder layer by layer and turned it on the table. laugh
……

The sun has completely set, and the sky is gradually getting darker. However, the nightlife of some people in Casa Island has just begun, so it is also very lively at night.

Alice didn't plan to continue shopping, but before that, she had to go to a place,
"I just received the news half a month ago. I heard that Peter is in Casa Island now. There will be a large auction here in a few days. The kid took a fancy to a lot and came all the way! It's more than 40 I'm so sick of people, I've been out of shape all day long!"

Even though she said so, the corners of her mouth were full of doting.

Peter is a child of the offshoot of Russell's royal family. His parents died early, and he was often bullied by people in the group. Alice looked after him for a few years because she felt sorry for him.

Later, on the surface, it was also Peter who borrowed the name of envoy Da Xia to take Alice back home.

Mentioning Peter, Berlin couldn't help smiling, "Is he married now?"

Alice sighed: "Don't mention it, it's my fault. Da Xia Jing and Di Qianqiu seven years ago, just when Sheng Sheng got married, I sent him to Da Xia, mainly to give Sheng Sheng a wedding gift .

As a result, he was fascinated by the mountains and rivers of Daxia, and then he resigned from his official position and began to travel around the world. Let alone getting married, I haven't seen him for several years..."

She rambled on, apparently the two had a good relationship over the years.

Berlin grabbed her hand: "Then let's go! I remember he likes sweets, and there just happened to be a dessert shop there."

Alice had asked the guards to inquire about Peter's residence in advance, and the group rode for half an hour and arrived at a manor.

When the old butler saw the person coming, he was so excited that he knelt down: "...Why did you come in person?"

Alice smiled and waved her hands, and greeted her in a familiar tone: "Butler Ryan, how are you doing recently?"

Butler Ryan bowed respectfully and said with a smile: "Please remember, everything is fine.

Are you here to see Mr.Coincidentally, sir, I heard that you are coming to Casa Island and are planning to visit tomorrow.Sir, this meeting should have dinner in the dining room. "Lead the way while talking.

They got along very well with Peter. When Alice heard that Peter was eating, she smiled bluntly and said:
"Well, we haven't eaten yet, and Berlin brought him some desserts."

A group of people came to the dining room, and Peter liked to keep the dining room door tightly closed because of Peter's dining habit.There was a pleasant sound of music playing in the dining room, and Peter seemed to be having dinner with his back to them through the blurred glass windows in the distance.

Alice joked with a smile: "This kid is getting better at enjoying himself, tsk! I have used the piano and violin, and I am short of a candlelight dinner!"

After saying that, he raised his foot and planned to walk in, but he stepped on a puddle of water and slipped his foot. Berlin skillfully supported him, and opened the door of the dining room casually.

……

in the inn,
Before the man could move, he was pushed down by a man in black who came out of nowhere.

Fu Guang stepped forward, Feng Lisheng and Shen Mingjiao stood behind.Fu Guang glanced at the pile of gunpowder, these gunpowders are top grade, if used well, it would not be a problem to blow up the entire inn in an instant.

She looked like a frightened and struggling man again, and her voice was cold: "John, grab it!"

The man was still struggling, and shook his head in a daze after hearing the words. Anyone who saw the sincere look in his eyes would think that they had caught the wrong person.
The few people present were unmoved. There are some people in this world who can deceive themselves by pretending. The former prince is a living example.

Fu Guang didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he asked someone to hold down his face. After a while, the mark of slavery on his face was still there, but his facial features completely changed.

Originally, he was ordinary and unrecognizable when he was thrown in the crowd, but now he has removed the disguise, revealing an evil and flamboyant face.Definitely something you won't forget once you see it.

The disguise was forcibly removed, and John finally stopped pretending, and asked coldly, "How did you find me?"

Because of this series of things, there is a hand behind the push, the purpose seems to be to let them go to Maya City, so as to find Berlin trapped there.

Of course, the people behind it definitely wouldn't be kind enough to want their family to be reunited, otherwise they wouldn't have made such a move.

Previously, Berlin said that Barron might still be alive. After reasoning, there were only two suspects, John and Barron. Could there be something strange?
Fu Guang and the others have been waiting for the other party to take the initiative to make a move.Until An An brought a sloppy man back to the inn.

Even though John's disguise was realistic enough, but Shen Mingjiao and the others were all human beings, so how could they not see his strangeness.

However, Fu Guang was obviously too lazy to explain too much to the other party, and just asked in a business-like manner: "What do you plan to use these gunpowder for? Also, how did you escape in the first place?"

John sneered: "It's meaningless to ask questions knowingly. I have tried my best to reunite your family. Of course, I want to completely destroy you when you are the happiest.

Oh, but my younger sister has to live and taste the blow slowly, so that he can always remember me as a big brother, haha..."

His eyes are crazy, like the paranoid villain in the storybook who loves to hate.

Fu Guang interrupted him in a cold voice, involving his mother, wishing to tear him to pieces: "Shut up, you are brothers and sisters!"

"So what? As long as I like it, it doesn't matter who she is."

Seeing that there was nothing left to ask, Fu Guang was waiting for someone to take him down and deal with it later, but Shen Mingjiao, who was standing by the side, always felt that something was wrong.

All this seems reasonable, but John is a desperate lunatic, so he wants to die with everyone.

But John's paranoid expression when he mentioned Alice just now proved that his goal was only for Alice from the beginning to the end, and he didn't care about others, or even his own life and death, so...

She raised her head sharply and asked, "Where is the concubine mother, where is the concubine mother?" After speaking, she stared at John.

Seeing her reaction, John couldn't help laughing: "Haha... my sister's children are really smart! But it's too late."

His eyes were crazy, and he murmured: "I saw my dead lover within the same day, and the lover died again before the night. From heaven to hell, my sister must be in pain!

And this pain... I brought her, so... she can remember me until she dies, even if she hates it, it's good! "

Perhaps the paranoia of the father and son of the Russell royal family is in the same line. Alice's father did not hesitate to rob the minister's wife in order to obtain the so-called true love.

And John was very unfavored since he was a child, and would secretly look up to his dazzling younger sister, but at some point, this look up changed.

But he was just a playboy who was not taken seriously at that time, no matter how many thoughts he dared to hold in his heart,

After learning that Alice wanted to elope with Berlin, he was terrified and secretly revealed the news to Barron.At that time, he just wanted to see Alice from time to time.I don't want Berlin to take people away.Unexpectedly, Barron would do those things.

In fact, it would not be too much to say how much John loves Alice, but the so-called "what you can't get is always the best", coupled with his paranoid nature, gradually this became his obsession.

……

The moment Berlin opened the door, his face changed when he saw the scene in the room.Subconsciously pushed Alice far away.

In the house, Peter was tied to a stool, his mouth was gagged, and a lot of gunpowder was tied to his chest, enough to level the dining room.

And the fuse has been ignited, and the gunpowder will completely detonate in less than twenty puffs.

Peter shook his head desperately at him, beckoning him to run,

Outside the door, Alice just got up, realized that something was wrong, and was about to let someone rush in.At this time, there was only a "kuang", and a tall circular iron fence fell from the top of the head, tightly wrapping the dining room and blocking her way.The dining room door was locked at the same time.

This series of changes happened only in a blink of an eye. With the distorted laughter of Butler Ryan, what did Alice realize?Lift your feet and climb up the iron fence,

Sadly, however, the time left for them is less than twenty sucks.Maybe it was only enough time for her to lift her foot once, even if the guard with the best lightness kung fu would take forty breaths at the fastest to break through the door of the dining room.

Standing by the window, Berlin took one last look at his princess and flashed her an apologetic smile.

sorry!I'm leaving you again, this time... No matter how hard I try, I can't get back to you!
