Chapter 275 You Will Protect Me, I Know

Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he thought he had heard wrongly.

In fact, when he looked up and made eye contact with Chris, Chris did show some strange emotions on his face. He looked at Jian Yue's surprised eyes, and the young prince's face instantly turned red, but he tried to remain calm and said, "What's wrong?"

Jian Yue said: "Were you apologizing to me just now?"

The prince snorted and said, "Why would I apologize to a lowly servant?"

Jian Yue looked up at him and said, "You are right."

He stood up and prepared to go outside.

Chris immediately asked, "Where are you going?"

Jian Yue said: "...it's almost dawn, I need to report your physical condition to the master, and a doctor will come to give you a better diagnosis and treatment."

Chris seemed to calm down.

Jian Yue turned and left. When he turned around to close the door, Chris's eyes were still on him. The red-haired boy stared at him without blinking. When he was wearing his coat, he looked like a pitiful puppy. Apart from his stubborn mouth, there was nothing wrong with him.

It was still daybreak when he left.

Lida had just come in from outside. She was wearing a beautiful floral dress and looked like a budding flower in the dust. She would have looked even more beautiful if she hadn't come out of the doctor's room.

Jian Yue stood at the corner of the stairs.

Heard Lyda and her mother talking.

Madam Ciri said, "You idiot, I asked you to come and take care of Lord Prince, and you refused to come, but how dare you stay in the same room with Dr. Fell?"

Lida said unhappily, "The prince hasn't woken up yet, and his servants are dead or injured. No one will see it. Besides, mother and father never objected."

"Shut up!" Madam Xili looked at her and said, "Don't let anyone know about this. Now we will go to the prince's room to deal with the servant. When he wakes up during the day, you have to pretend to have taken care of him for a long time. Do you understand?"

Lida hesitated and asked, "What if he doesn't believe it, or wakes up early?"

Madam Xili said directly: "He won't wake up. I swear on my reputation that he will never wake up!"

Lida covered her mouth and said, "Oh, is he injured so seriously, or is he really a demon..."

Madam Xili whispered, "Lida, believe me, anyone who is not forgiven by the Lord God will degenerate into a demon. That is why the prince will be punished. You will know when the bishops come today."

Lida was about to cry when she heard this: "I know he is a devil, but even so, our family cannot lose him, and my father cannot lose his status as Duke. But I have offended him and his sister, and I must serve him, otherwise he will not forgive me..."

"He will." Mrs. Xili said with a ruthless look in her eyes: "Believe me, my dear girl, he must accept you. Only you can become the future. In this town, only our words count!"

The two were talking.

The Duke, who was not far away, also came. Duke Black was wearing a neat suit and looked very energetic. He glanced at his wife and daughter and said, "That's enough. Now we should go and greet the Duke and the Princess."

This is etiquette, and etiquette cannot be violated.

The three of them turned the corner together and saw Jian Yue standing at the door.

Jian Yue bowed his head and said, "Good day, Duke Black, Lady Ciri, Miss Lida."

Madam Xili thought that after last night's torture, Jian Yue should be in agony, so why was he acting so normal? She originally wanted to punish Jian Yue for his impoliteness, but she couldn't find any fault.

But it doesn't matter.

Madam Xili and Lida looked at each other. Lida coughed lightly and said, "Is His Royal Highness Prince Chris awake? We should go in and see him. Oh, if you can't take good care of him..."

Jian Yue replied: "Awake."

Madam Xili: “…”

Lida: “…”

Duke Black: “…”

The air around was silent for a moment.

For a moment, Madam Xili couldn't believe what she heard. She even stuttered: "What did you say?"

Lida couldn't believe it either: "How is it possible?"

The next moment, both of them realized that they had lost their composure. They looked at each other, both a little bit unbelieving, but did not dare to question it, and just walked past Jian Yue and walked forward.

Duke Black was the first to step in, determined to crush Jian Yue's lies. However, as soon as the door was opened, a rebuke came from inside: "Who gave you the courage to come in without knocking, Black? Is this the etiquette and rules for you as the owner of the manor? I wonder if you have forgotten your aristocratic upbringing?"

Blake: “…”

This person should have been unconscious! How come he woke up?

The Duke was also a tactful person. After he realized what was happening, he quickly said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. Please forgive my impoliteness. As your uncle, I was very worried after hearing about your injury, so I came to visit you now."

Chris's voice was cold: "Where are my carriage and luggage?"

Blake replied: "Your carriage is damaged and your luggage is missing. It is really unfortunate that such a thing happened. Don't worry, I will definitely build a new carriage for you."

Chris didn't need to. He was even very wary of Blake. The man glanced at him and said, "I'm going to write a letter to the royal city and ask my servants and men to come over. You don't have to interfere in other matters."

Duke Black could actually predict his answer. It was rumored that the prince had a fickle temperament and was suspicious by nature, so it was understandable that he would do so. Now was definitely not a good time to anger him.

Duke Black said, "Of course, I will help you prepare it right away. Before that, please let the people in our manor take care of you."

This will also give my daughter some opportunities.

Chris asked directly: "Where is the person who took care of me last night?"

Duke Black was stunned and subconsciously looked at Lyda. You know, he arranged for his daughter to take care of Prince Chris last night. Lyda and Lady Ciri panicked when they looked at their father. They were looking for a substitute!

"This... little girl..." Duke Black spoke hesitantly.

Madam Xili quickly replied, "It's a low-level male servant. He was ordered to do this last night in an emergency. I'm afraid he is not very capable of serving the prince. How about I get you a better one?"

Chris refused directly. The fearless red-haired boy gave an unquestionable order: "I want him."

The Duke and his family all paused, but they did not dare to disobey the Prince's order, so they could only turn around and leave.

When he went outside, Jian Yue was there too. He heard what was said inside the room and could only say that he had made the right bet. Wang Jue's family had originally planned to cut off his source of trouble and kill him after he got through last night, but Wang Jue woke up early, so his life was saved.

Even a duke would not dare to disobey the prince's orders.

The Duke looked at Jian Yue with some resentment and said, "You are so lucky. His Royal Highness Prince Chris wants you to be by his side to take care of him. You have done a great job."

Jian Yue said humbly: "It's my honor."

The Duke couldn't do anything about him, so he had to leave angrily.

He walked quickly back to his study, angrily smashed the books on the table, and said to Lida: "You stupid girl, why did you let other servants take care of the prince? Have you forgotten what I told you?"

Lida cried, thinking it was an unprovoked disaster. She retorted: "He is cursed by the devil. Who dares to take care of him? Does my father not care about my life or death just for the sake of wealth and glory?"

The Duke was very angry, but soon he said, "Okay, the Duke just wants a servant, a male servant. Fortunately, it's not a female servant. You still have a chance. The most important thing for us now is not to let the people in the royal city take the Duke away so quickly. Otherwise, with his hatred for us now, we will suffer when he returns to the royal city!"

Madam Ciri reminded him, "Didn't the bishop send someone here today?"

The Duke was reminded.

Madam Ciri smiled and said, "As long as the Bishop's Court determines that the prince is possessed by a demon and wants him to stay in the town to exorcise the demon, then he will naturally not be able to leave."

The three of them all smiled and finally came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.

The other side.

Jian Yue was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for Chris.

After seeing the small red mole, he confirmed the man's identity, so he must take good care of him.

Martha was relieved when she saw Jian Yue in the kitchen. She said, "Thank God you're okay. I thought the Duke and the others would..."

Jian Yue said: "Lord Wangjue has woken up, they won't make things difficult for me."

Martha's conscience had been condemning her, and she was relieved to hear Jian Yue say that. She handed him the breakfast tray and said, "This is breakfast prepared for His Excellency the Prince."

Jian Yue saw that this was a feast of fish and meat, and asked quietly, "Anything else?"

"Everyone eats this." Martha said, "This is a special meal for His Majesty the Prince. It is also a meal that complies with royal etiquette. Others cannot eat it."

Is there such a rule?

Jian Yue sighed in his heart. On his way back with the food, he saw from afar in the corridor that a group of people were coming towards the castle. Some of the people leading them were riding horses. They should be the bishop of the church and others.

The Duke and his family were waiting at the door. In this small town, the bishop of the church and others seemed to have considerable deterrent power.

"Welcome, distinguished guest from afar." The Duke said, "It is unfortunate that the prince seemed to have been attacked by a demon last night. He was seriously injured. Please go and have a look."

The leader was a man in a white robe with a gold collar. His face could not be seen clearly because he was too far away, but he was covered in countless silver ornaments.

Jian Yue turned and walked towards Chris's room.

He knocked on the door: "Your Highness, I brought you breakfast."

A voice came from inside the house: "Come in."

Chris was lying on the bed. Although he still looked very weak, at least he was not pale. Jian Yue walked up to him, put down the plate and said, "Sir, the Duke is here to visit you with the bishop and others."

"Bishop?" Chris frowned. He didn't seem to like this group of people.

Jian Yue nodded and said, "Yes."

Chris said directly: "Let them go out, no see."

Jian Yue didn't want this group of people to come into contact with Chris, but as soon as he turned around, Chris looked out the window. There were only curtains there, and no one could be seen outside the glass. The prince who was just throwing a tantrum suddenly calmed down a lot. He didn't know what he was thinking, and said, "Let them in."

Jian Yue was a little confused about his sudden reaction.

But following the direction of the window, he had a guess in his mind. If the bishop and his men did not see the prince when they came, they might go looking for the princess. The poor girl had such a serious disease and her whole face was ulcerated. How could she bear so many outsiders surrounding her to perform exorcisms on her?

Jian Yue said: "I'll go and invite them."

This group of people came with great force, and it was definitely not a good thing.

Now the Duke's family can definitely not be relied upon. As long as he is by the side of the Prince, he must protect his master. Only by gaining a firm foothold can he continue to investigate the demonic incidents in this small town. As a worker, Jian Yue always knows when to make the most advantageous choice.

He walked outside the door and just saw the doctor, the bishop and others coming up with the Duke's family. When Jian Yue saw the bishop, he thought of his mission, which was to go to the Vatican to check on Sister Martha's condition.

When the Duke saw him, he asked, "Is His Highness Chris awake?"

"Yes, sir." Jian Yue said, "Lord Wang is preparing breakfast. He invites everyone to come in."

The eyes of the bishop and others also fell on Jian Yue, a very young bishop. After they pushed open the door and walked through the corridor, they could see Chris sitting on the bed. Chris's red hair was casually scattered at the moment. Compared with the usual neat combing at the back, it was now scattered in pieces, which made the boy look more unruly. He was wearing the simplest and most decent white pajamas, but just sitting there quietly, he had an aura of royal majesty.

Duke Black's expression became more serious. He said cautiously, "Your Highness Chris, I heard that you were attacked by a demon, so someone from the Doctrine came to visit you. He is Mr. Xilai, the current sheriff of the Doctrine."

It turns out that he is not yet a bishop.

Xilai bowed respectfully and said, "Your Excellency, what happened to you is so unfortunate. Our teachings have always followed the Lord God to eradicate all the demons in dangerous worlds. I never thought they would attack you and Your Highness the Princess. Although the demons have left now, it would be bad if there is still some demonic energy invading you. Please allow me to use holy water to cleanse your wounds."

This must be some kind of custom and ritual in their country.

Everyone around looked serious.

Chris said coldly: "Okay."

Xilai's identity does not allow him to touch the body of the prince. There was silence for a moment. Jian Yue was stunned for a long time before he realized that this was his job. He stepped forward and bent down to unbutton Chris's chest. His wound was there. As the buttons were unbuttoned, everyone around him gasped. The wound was bleeding, but after being cleaned, it was not so hideous anymore.

Just at this moment.

The doctor beside Xilai shouted, "Why is there no more holy ash that I used to suppress the evil spirit?"

Holy ash? Could it be the ashes that were on Chris's chest yesterday? Could it be that they were scooped from someone's stove and then applied to the wound?

Jian Yue kept complaining in his heart.

Duke Black's face was covered in cold sweat under the gaze of the doctor and the sheriff. He quickly said, "It must be the servant's fault. He was the only one who served the prince last night!"

Now everyone's eyes fell on Jian Yue again.

Jian Yue: “…”

He knew it was directed at him.

The Duke only wanted to arrange his own people around Chris so that he could operate better, but he obviously had too many handles on the Duke. The Duke didn't like people who were too smart. What he needed most was a puppet that suited him.

Sheriff Xilai changed his gentle and elegant attitude towards the prince and said sternly, "You bold servant, you are just a low-level servant, how dare you murder your master's life? You must be a ghost sent by the devil to clean up the holy ashes privately. I will arrest you and hang you immediately!"

Jian Yue knew that this was an era of cannibalism, but he didn't expect that people would be so casual about human life. He knew that it would be difficult to get through this level today, and racked his brains to think of how to turn around.

The sheriff had just finished speaking.

The Duke immediately said, "It is you. I never thought that such a lowly servant like you would be so bold. Mr. Sheriff, if what the doctor said is true, he must be the devil's accomplice. Lord Prince, it is all my fault for sending such a servant to harm you. I will deal with him now!"

The safety value on Jian Yue's system panel dropped sharply.

Xilai also added fuel to the fire, "Privately disposing of the holy ashes is an attempt to murder His Royal Highness Prince Chris. When I heard about this last night, I prayed for His Royal Highness's safety day and night, but there are evil people behind this. In my opinion..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Just when he was looking at Jian Yue smugly.

suddenly--

A golden light flashed in front of Jian Yue:

【Eight Triggers】:

[Rumor: Sheriff Xilai has been accepting bribes from the Duke and giving them to the bishop. He helps the Duke execute those who disobey him, but he has been embezzling at least 40% of the money, which has caused the bishop to be very dissatisfied with the Duke's stinginess! ]

【Cooling time 12 hours】

When the sound of the card fell, the smug smile on Xilai's face froze.

He looked at Jian Yue, and couldn't believe how Jian Yue knew such things. He didn't even dare to look back at the Duke's expression.

Jian Yue was shocked for a moment, and thought that Xilai was really greedy. He had no idea how much money he had embezzled from the Duke over the years. If the Duke and the Bishop got to know about this, he would be finished!

Aren't you going to hang me? Anyway, when I'm about to die, I'll need someone to take my place with me. So go to the gallows!

The idea just fell.

Jian Yue asked, "What do you think?"

Xilai panicked. He was so scared that his arrogant attitude disappeared. He suddenly stuttered when he threatened. He said, "In my opinion, there may be some misunderstanding!"

The Duke had no idea what was going on. He didn't know why Xilai suddenly turned against them, so he said quickly, "What kind of misunderstanding could this be? In my opinion, we should immediately..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

A golden light flashed in front of Jian Yue:

【Eight Triggers】:

[Gossip: Duke Black has owed a lot of gambling debts over the years and has been living on his wife's dowry. When he gave the money to Xilai, he also took 40% of it! ]

【Cooling time 12 hours】

Jian Yue: “…”

Duke: “…”

The audience in the live broadcast room: “…”

After a moment of silence.

The audience in the live broadcast room went from being worried and nervous at the beginning to bursting into laughter now:

"Not you two, buddies?"

"Everyone is evil!"

"Neither of you is a good person."

"So how much did you greedily earn?!"

The Duke also showed a guilty look on his face. He didn't expect that such a thing would be known by his low-level servant. If Xilai knew that he had embezzled so much and reported it to the bishop, wouldn't he be finished?

Looking back.

He met Jian Yue’s narrowed eyes.

Duke: “…”

Jian Yue asked, "What did you want to say just now, Your Excellency the Duke?"

The Duke was scared. His usual serious expression was stammering. He racked his brains and said, "What I mean is, in my opinion, there may really be some misunderstanding. Should we investigate it again?"

The doctor was stunned. If he could speak, he would say that these two people were crazy?!

"There is no misunderstanding!" the doctor shouted, "It must be him who washed away the holy ash. Lord Prince, you must not let him go..."

The doctor was talking.

Then I heard a sharp and impatient voice coming from the bed: "Enough."

Everyone was silent.

Chris has a striking head of red hair and his red eyes are like gems. When he scans everyone's expressions, even Jian Yue doesn't dare to bet on what he will say. No one expected every word the prince said.

"I asked him to clean me after I woke up." Chris said, "It has nothing to do with anyone else."

After the words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Jian Yue didn't expect that he would defend himself.

Chris said, "I don't need holy ash, and those demons can't do anything to me. I want to rest now, everyone get out."

Xilai still didn't give up: "Sir..."

Chris has a bad temper. His eyes swept over sharply: "Do you want to disobey my order?"

Xilai didn't dare to move for a moment. They were just officials in a small town. Although the status of the doctrine was very high, the status of the royal family and the king was above everything else. No one dared to oppose him.

Everyone then slowly retreated.

Jian Yue was the last one standing there. Chris looked at him and asked, "Why are you still here?"

"I will serve you breakfast." Jian Yue said, "This is my job."

Chris glanced at the breakfast on the table and felt nauseous. He said, "Take it away. I'm not hungry."

Jian Yue was silent for a moment, without refutation, and walked over to pick up the plate. Chris lay back on the bed. After everyone left, he showed his youthful nature again. The pain from his wounds made him unable to sleep. He felt inexplicably irritated. He looked up at Jian Yue next to him, and seeing that he was really leaving, he asked, "Where are you going?"

"... Please let me take the breakfast down." Jian Yue said.

Chris was silent for a moment, turned over and stopped talking.

Jian Yue turned around and really left. The sound of the door closing was heard in the room. Chris buried his head in the quilt and endured the pain in his stomach. He had experienced this before, so he just had to bear with it. As royal family members, they could not show their weak side, nor could they behave disrespectfully.

His stomach growled with hunger and he closed his eyes.

But I heard the door behind me being opened again.

Someone came in, stood beside his bed and said, "Your Highness."

Chris poked his head out to look at him. Jian Yue was holding a plate in his hand. Chris said, "Didn't I say I don't want to eat?"

"I cooked this myself in the small kitchen. I said it was for myself." Jian Yue put down the plate, which contained fragrant and soft steamed buns, and lean meat porridge.

It is the most suitable food for injured patients.

Chris said, "These are not things I should eat."

The royal family has its own rules.

Jian Yue bent down and said, "But your highness will feel much better after eating these. I bribed the kitchen to get them out. Your highness, eat them quickly while they are still hot. No one will know."

The noble Lord never thought that one day he would have to hide in his bedroom to eat.

But Jian Yue handed him the fragrant and soft steamed buns, and even picked up the bowl of porridge and blew hot steam for him with a spoon. The sunlight outside the window shone through the gauze steps and sprinkled golden light all over the ground. The handsome little servant in front of him looked at him, with clear eyes behind his glasses and a faint smile. He said, "Your Highness, try a bite and see?"

Chris opened his mouth and ate.

The steamed buns must have been freshly steamed and were especially soft. The porridge was also at just the right temperature. He ate several mouthfuls in a row. He had never eaten breakfast like this before. Jian Yue had been by his side the whole time, secretly stuffing the steamed buns into his mouth. As he was eating, Jian Yue's own stomach began to growl.

Chris remembered that he said he gave himself his breakfast.

"I'm not eating anymore," Chris said.

Jian Yue didn't want to waste it, so he bit the remaining half of the bun without caring. Chris just looked at him, and the boy's ears slowly turned red. He threatened him, "If you are discovered, you dare to go beyond this limit. The Duke will probably take you to the gallows. Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid." Jian Yue lowered her head and bit her steamed bun and said to Chris, "I know you will protect me."
