Chapter 215 Extra (1) Parallel World 20
According to the law of conservation of emotion, a smile will not disappear, it will only be transferred.
From the moment Lu Yuxi led Lin Shiming into the two private vaults, smiles appeared and disappeared on the faces of Emperor Longyun and his two sons, changing in an instant and unpredictably.
Then it ended with Emperor Longyun's family becoming the sole ruler, and Lu Yuxu and Lu Yuxi suffering heavy losses.
Determined to give his younger brother an unforgettable farewell, His Highness the Crown Prince used every trick in the book within just twenty days to "detain" Lu Yuxi in the Eastern Palace, where he lived and ate with her, leaving her utterly miserable and dejected.
Logically speaking, Lu Yuxi has always been law-abiding and wouldn't make any mistakes, but Lu Yuxu deliberately picked a fight with her.
It's like when you go out for some fresh air, your mom scolds you for always running around outside, and when you stay at home, she scolds you for staying cooped up at home all day and thinking about what kind of person you are.
In short, I'm not doing this for any particular reason, I just want to get back at you.
awful.
Lin Shiming trembled with fear upon seeing this.
"elder brother,"
At the city gate, the usually fearless Second Young Master Lin, unusually timid, hid behind his brother and quietly asked.
"Isn't the Crown Prince said to be exceptionally handsome and a true gentleman?"
How can he be even more devilish than Lin Shihe!
Unaware that his younger brother was secretly criticizing him, the devilish Lin Shizi scoffed, "It's all for show."
If everyone likes this kind of crown prince, then Lu Yuxu will be this kind of crown prince.
Lin Shihe, showing no brotherly affection whatsoever, belittled his good brother without batting an eye, saying, "In reality, he is a hypocrite who is all talk and no action."
General Lin listened attentively, tilting his head in thought. Indeed, it was normal for someone who could be on friendly terms with a fox like his own brother to be two-faced and full of malice.
He nodded seriously, "I see. I was too naive."
She's well-behaved and adorable, and when she's not causing trouble, she's truly lovable.
Lin Shihe smiled and gently patted his younger brother's head, carefully instructing him, "Remember, there's no good in the Lu family. Be careful when you and Lu Yuxi are out and about, and don't believe everything he says. If you sense anything is wrong, leave him behind and run away. If anything happens, your father and I will cover for you. We're not afraid of him. Just don't let him bully you."
Lin Shiming nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Mmm-hmm! I don't believe anything he says! I won't listen to a word he says!"
That's not necessarily true. Most of the time, when it comes to manipulating people's hearts and minds, Lu Yuxi is much more reliable than Lin Shiming.
Lin Shihe had a complicated situation to explain.
"...There's no need to avoid it so much and reject everything. You need to distinguish between the facts and the circumstances..."
He tried his best to tutor his younger brother, hoping to cram at the last minute. But when faced with Lin Shiming's clear yet foolish eyes, the usually invincible Prince Lin was still discouraged.
"Alright, just pretend I didn't say anything. The Fifth Prince is quite a gentleman most of the time, so you should listen to him more when you're out and about."
"There's only one thing: if he asks you for any promises, don't agree to them easily. Just stall for time. Tell me everything when you get home, and then I'll tell you what to do."
Lin Shihe painstakingly tried to persuade his simple-minded younger brother, worrying himself sick over him.
It was common for Lin Shiming to travel far away, and there was really nothing to repeatedly remind him of. But this time, with a cunning and shrewd little brat by his side, Lin Shihe was a bit uneasy.
Fortunately, Lin Shih-chi was quite intelligent and could distinguish right from wrong. He knew that Lin Shih-ho was doing it for his own good, so he obediently nodded and agreed.
Seeing his younger brother so obedient, Lin Shihe's affection gradually overflowed from his eyes. "You must remember what I told you today. Just don't let Lu Yuxi know."
Lin Shiming accepted the instruction.
"If anything happens, go home immediately, or go to the nearest Tingyun Army base. Don't go alone—"
"Peace and harmony!"
Not far away, Lu Yuxu waved his paper fan and called the two over.
Lin Shihe, whose spellcasting had been interrupted, sighed and swallowed back all the words he had to say. He patted Lin Shiming on the shoulder and walked over with him.
Although everyone knew that Lu Yuxi was leaving the capital, Lu Yuxu had already made arrangements. Therefore, the only people who came out today to see the two off were Lin Shihe, the worried older brother, and Lu Yuxu, the imperial brother who would bully his younger brother to the very end.
Poor Lu Yuxi was given a scolding by his elder brother just before he was about to leave, and he still had red marks on his head from being hit by a fan.
Lin Shihe, who was always disciplining his younger brother, couldn't bear to see him in such a miserable state. He grabbed the Crown Prince, who was still holding a fan and ready to give Lu Yuxi another beating at any moment.
"That's enough! Look at the state you've created for him. Don't you know when to stop? Don't let him write a letter to the Empress complaining, or you'll be in big trouble."
"Tsk." Lu Yuxu flicked his fan in dissatisfaction. "Who am I doing this for? Isn't it all to protect your little cutie brother? Warning him and lecturing him, afraid that Lu Yuxi will bully him because of his cunning. Why don't you appreciate my good intentions?"
Lin Shiming's curious gaze darted back and forth between the two of them.
"Isn't this just an excuse to cause trouble and make things difficult for people? You make it sound so nice." Lin Shihe smiled fakely, grabbed Lu Yuxu's waving fan and threw it at the guard waiting not far away. "We've been friends for so many years, do you think we don't know each other? There's no point in lying to me."
If Lu Yuxi wants to deceive Shi Ming, unless there's something truly unforgivable, you'll probably just clap your hands and watch the show.
Lin Shihe, who knew the Crown Prince's true nature well, would not be fooled in the slightest.
"Hiss—you don't trust me?"
"Trust, trust, trust."
Lin Shihe was too lazy to get entangled in such a boring topic with him, so he gave a casual reply and changed the subject.
He looked up at the sky. "Alright, stop dawdling. Let's get on the horse."
"Don't change the subject! We're the Crown Prince and the Heir Apparent of the Lin family; a lack of trust between the ruler and his subject is a huge problem... Besides, I haven't finished instructing my younger brother yet! It's his first time traveling so far and for so long; as his elder brother, I'm still worried..."
"Shut up! Shi Ming knows more about going out than you do!"
Lin Shihe grew utterly impatient, kicking the elegant Crown Prince until he stumbled, then turned to look at the two thirteen or fourteen-year-old children who were about to embark on their journey, his tone softening once more.
"You have a long way to go, so set off soon. Yu Xu and I can only see you off this far."
What the future holds is up to you to figure out.
As he spoke, Lin Shihe gave Lin Shiming another important look, "If you suffer any injustices outside, remember to come home. Nothing is more important than your safety and happiness."
We may not be able to travel together, but home will always be there to support you.
Lu Yuxu, who was cleaning the footprints that had been kicked onto his clothes, also straightened his clothes and stepped forward.
He pulled a thick purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into Lu Yuxi's hand.
"Go."
*
With the gentle breeze of a late summer morning, the two boys mounted their horses, tightened the reins, and galloped off into the distance.
I don't know when we'll meet again.
"Alright, let's go back now."
As the figure on horseback disappeared into the distance, Lu Yuxu finally turned his gaze away and patted Lin Shihe on the shoulder.
"Your brother has gone out so many times, I'm not worried about him anymore, even though he's barely left the palace. What are you worried about?"
Lin Shihe surprisingly ignored Lu Yuxu's stubbornness.
For some reason, he had a bad feeling that Lin Shiming was going to bring him a huge piece of bad news when he returned.
"Hey, are you sure your younger brother only needs to be looked after by my Shiming for a year?"
Lu Yuxu, who had just swallowed her worries about parting, suddenly looked up at him in surprise, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you even need to ask?"
"They'll be together for the next eight or nine years!"
Lin Shihe: "..."
Lin Shihe turned to mount his horse: "No, I have to call him back!"
"Stop it!" Lu Yuxu grabbed Lin Shihe and shoved him into his carriage. "You're a future Duke of Zhenguo in charge of the army, why are you acting so fussy... It's just going out together, it's nothing unusual for Shiming's younger brother, what could possibly happen..."
