I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Only when Shen Lanxi's figure completely disappeared at the end of the corridor did the deliberately maintained mocking arc at the corner of Shen Qingyu's mouth slowly disappear.

He turned his head and was about to take the milk, but suddenly stopped.

No! The breakfast that was just full on the table suddenly disappeared?

Shen Qingyu looked up in astonishment and saw Gao Zhi walking steadily out of the restaurant with five or six porcelain plates stacked in each hand. Even more outrageous was that he had a silver square box on his head.

"..."

Are you sick? !

It is true that like master, like servant.

Shen Qingyu's hand paused in the air for half a second, and he was about to take a tissue to wipe his hands, but after looking around, he found that the tissue box was missing.

Only then did he realize that the silver block on Ghosh's head was actually a tissue box.

Shen Qingyu was so angry that he laughed and stood up with a bang.

"Gu He."

As soon as the words fell, a figure flashed, holding two hot eggs in his hands: "Master, I just snatched them from Gao Zhi, they are still hot."

"..."

Shen Qingyu looked at Gu He, who looked like a loyal servant, and felt that the saying "like master, like servant" had hit him right between the eyebrows.

"Who said I was going to eat eggs? Get ready, I'm going out."

Gu He hesitated and took back the hot egg in his hand: "Master, where are you going?"

Shen Qingyu stood up and looked out the window at the gradually awakening scenery, his eyes sharp and firm: "There is something that must be clarified before leaving."

The dim morning light cast a light golden glow over the grand and solemn Princess's Palace. However, in the private study deep within the palace, the atmosphere was as cold as winter.

Bai Mi sat quietly behind his sunken wooden desk, now dressed in casual home clothes, his hair damp with the moisture of his shower. His fingertips unconsciously stroked an ivory seal until the study door silently opened.

An Ti walked in with her eyes lowered, her gait steady as usual. She stopped three steps away from the desk and bowed, "Your Highness."

Bai Mi raised his eyes, his gaze darkening. "Did you tell Shen Guiling about Jiang Huashan and me?"

This was Country S. Even if the Shen family reacted quickly, they couldn't have found him in such a short time. And An Ti happened to appear with Shen Guiling, and stood by and watched as Shen Guiling took action. Bai Mi immediately became suspicious.

"Yes." There was no panic in An Ti's eyes, only a calm composure.

The air was stagnant for a moment.

Bai Mi sneered and rapped his knuckles on the table: "Anti, don't forget your identity!"

The corners of An Ti's lips twitched slightly, her baby face filled with rebelliousness. "I always remember it, but it's you, Your Highness, who forgot."

She said calmly, "His Majesty once said that the reason he worked so hard to stand in a high position was so that the young prince could do whatever he wanted in the future. Although His Majesty is no longer with us, I will inherit his wishes."

Bai Mi's pupils shrank suddenly, feeling provoked and slighted. He sneered, "Who are you? Why do you think you can inherit Prince Bai Mian's will? Anti, you really don't take the Bai royal family seriously."

She has no identity, just an orphan of war.

But the princess once held her hand and let her touch her heartbeat through her belly.

The prince smiled and said, "Anti, you have a younger brother now."

It is because of this obsession that she is still alive today.

Anti's expression shifted slightly, and she bowed slightly. "I have no intention of offending the royal family, but my loyalty will never waver. If Your Highness wishes to punish me, I have nothing to say."

Seeing this, Bai Mi felt like a breath of air was hitting cotton.

The queen is old and the prince has passed away. Now all members of the royal family are making a last effort to ascend the throne. Among them, his mother Bai Laman and Bai Lie, a branch of the royal family, have the highest voices.

Over the years, both sides have tried every possible means to win over Anti, but with little success.

In order to protect herself, An Ti chose the job of guarding Lucifer No. 1 for Bai Mian. A few years ago, Bai Zheng used some unknown means to obtain the use rights of Lucifer No. 1, and it was because of this coincidence that An Ti and Shen Guiling had an intersection.

Who would have thought that this stubborn creature who could not be tamed would finally take the initiative to hand the reins around his neck to Shen Guiling.

But Bai Mi couldn't help but admire An Ti's loyalty. This had been the way between princes and their personal guards since ancient times, a bond of life and death more trustworthy than blood relatives.

He rubbed his swollen cheeks: "Get out!"

As the head of Shen Guiling's personal guard, he had no right to punish a loyal subordinate.

An Ti was slightly surprised. She had never believed Bai Mi from the beginning, because Bai Mi's mother, Bai Laman, was extremely ambitious. She didn't believe Bai Mi would give up the throne and choose the young prince.

But now it seems that her judgment was a bit absolute.

Bai Mi always abided by the rules he had set with the young prince and never revealed the inside story to his mother. This in itself was a signal of rebellion.

An Ti nodded slightly and was about to leave when Bai Mi suddenly remembered something and immediately called her:

“What about the white elephant taking over St. Louis?”

An Ti frowned and looked at Bai Mi hesitantly.

Bai Mi said in a bad tone: "If you can't come up with a reason, then just wait for your little prince to be assassinated."

During his lifetime, Prince Bai Mian served as the commander-in-chief of the three royal armies, with the White Elephant Legion, composed of a million lions, being his personal guard. After Bai Mian's death in battle, the three armies lowered their flags in his honor, and the White Elephant Legion even redesigned its flag for him, superimposing a silver, fractured crown outline above the original golden sacred elephant totem.

The crown was cracked in the middle but not completely separated, symbolizing that although the commander has fallen, his spirit and glory will live on forever. It also implies the sorrow of the White Elephant Legion after losing its supreme commander.

Twenty years had passed, and no one, save the Queen's supreme scepter, could truly tame this most powerful legion. But last night, without receiving any orders from the Queen, they took the initiative to take over a manor. This was strange in every way.

The Bai family royal family was not a single-minded group, and not everyone was mourning Bai Mian. In fact, in the shadows, countless people were celebrating the Whale King's demise.

Shen Guiling's arrival was exactly what those people least wanted to see.

An Ti's expression changed slightly, she nodded and turned to leave the study.

After she left, the study returned to silence, with only the faint sound of birds singing outside the window.

Bai Mi rubbed his still aching cheeks and abdomen, unable to maintain his composure any longer, and grimaced in pain.

At this moment, the phone screen on the table suddenly lit up and an email popped up:

-【Western Suburbs Church, you come alone. Shen Guiling.】

Bai Mi paused and frowned.

Did Shen Guiling really think he was spineless? Would he just come when he wanted and go when he wanted?

I won’t go.
