Chapter 42 Seeds of Doubt
Chi Changyuan didn't dare to say this out loud.
Fen Nishang must be a very important person to Han Zhi, otherwise Han Zhi would not come to Hanxu Kingdom to save her.
He told himself this in his heart, and his attitude became much gentler: "Nishang, do you like riding jade?"
"Of... Of course..." Fen Nishang subconsciously ran behind Jiang Mo, then found that Jiang Mo and Chi Changyuan were in the same group, and ran away angrily: "What do you want? My father is here... I..."
Chi Changyuan said helplessly: "I won't do anything to you, Nishang, I am your brother-in-law, I won't hurt you."
"Who would believe you! You treated my brother so badly..." She was like a candle that had been extinguished, squatting on the ground with a sense of grievance: "You killed my brother, I don't believe you."
"Do you really think your brother is dead?" Chi Changyuan sighed: "Do you also think Yu Chengyu looks like your brother?"
Fen Nishang stopped talking.
She didn't spend much time with Han Zhi, but Han Zhi would speak to her gently and distantly like Yu Chengyu. Although he would sometimes call her princess in a strange way, he would also protect her everywhere.
But Yu Chengyu was too dazzling, like the sun, and her brother... In her impression, her brother had always been humble and dull. She really couldn't really regard the man who exuded nobility from head to toe as her brother.
She said, "It's very similar, but not the same."
She really didn't know how to describe it. She was only six hundred years old, which was not even an adult according to God's standards.
But for Chi Changyuan, this sentence is enough.
"I suspect your brother's soul fragment is in him..."
He even suspected that Yu Chengyu was Han Zhi.
But such an idea was too absurd; it was just his own wishful thinking.
"What?" Even so, it was enough to shock Jiang Mo and Fen Nishang. Jiang Mo even suspected that His Highness had finally gone crazy.
He didn't know what expression to use: "Your Highness, if that were the case, I would try to poke myself with a noodle to see if I could revive myself..."
"His personality is indeed different from Han Zhi's, but I've been with Han Zhi for so long, and no one knows him better than me." Chi Changyuan was very sure: "I can't really explain that similar feeling."
Jiang Mo said silently: "In fact, their personalities are quite similar... Han Zhi is just pretending to be good in front of you, Your Highness."
He still hasn't forgotten his arrogant words that one person can beat ten of them.
"real?!"
He regretted it as soon as he said it.
Looking at His Highness's excited eyes, Jiang Mo knew that because of these words, His Highness was probably even more convinced that Yu Chengyu was Han Zhi.
Han Zhi felt a little puzzled.
He was flying in the clouds, but it felt a bit weird that there were always five people staring at him.
Arriving at the capital of the Jin Kingdom and living in the palace arranged by the Golden God, Han Zhi finally couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have your own palaces?"
Leng Baibai raised his eyebrows: "What are you talking about? According to seniority, I am also your uncle. I came to see what's wrong with you?"
Fen Jin: "I am your uncle."
The relationship with your master is closer than Leng Baibai.
Fen Nishang: "...I miss my brother."
Jiang Mo patted her from behind, and she immediately said, "I mean, I want to invite Brother Chengyu to visit the Golden Palace."
Han Zhi: “…”
hehe.
He looked at Chi Changyuan unkindly: "Where is His Highness the Rain God?"
"...Jin Country is dry and hot. Are you used to living there?"
A small cross appeared on Han Zhi's head: "...Why can't you get used to living here?"
The Kingdom of Jin is the hottest and driest place in the world.
Chi Changyuan handed over a small pot and said, "This is a Qianye water cup. It can humidify the environment and lower the temperature in the house."
Han Zhi took it and said calmly: "Thank you, Rain God."
"You're welcome."
To everyone else's surprise, Chi Changyuan turned around and left after delivering the things.
Leng Baibai and Fen Jin exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with the following words:
What is this kid doing?
But Chi Changyuan seemed to know more than the two of them. After seeing him leave, they followed him out.
After they left, Han Zhi carefully checked the Thousand Leaf Water Cup inside and out. This little thing had the shape of a lotus, and seven circles of water ripples on the pistil inside were flowing slowly in the room.
It didn't look like anything special, but Han Zhi didn't know what Chi Changyuan was going to do, so he just left it there and ignored it.
The moonlight outside the window was suppressed by the thick clouds, leaving only a ray, barely outlining the shadow of the window frame on the floor.
The palace arranged by the Golden God housed a large hot spring. The pool was constructed from white marble, its edges intricately carved with intertwined lotus and cloud patterns. The warm jade shimmered softly in the water vapor. The pool floor was paved with fine, warm jade gravel, a smooth, delicate sensation.
Han Zhi shed his clothes, revealing his well-defined shoulders and back. He stepped barefoot on the edge of the warm pool, dipping his fingertips into the steaming water. His gilded eyes narrowed slightly, satisfied with the water's temperature.
The hot water flowed over her waist, up her chest, and finally stopped at her collarbone. Her long black hair was dampened by the steam, and a few strands stuck to her neck, forming a sharp contrast with her fair skin.
His current appearance was reflected on the water surface, which made Han Zhi slightly stunned.
There was also such a bathing pool in Taiqing Palace, but that time he could only kneel and serve in it, and was inexplicably punished by Chi Changyuan.
…
Why think about these nasty things?
Han Zhi shook his head, grabbed a bowl of water and splashed it on his face. The water flowed down his cheeks and nose, bringing a touch of red to his gilded eyes.
!
In an instant, Han Zhi's half-closed golden eyes suddenly opened, and the warmth in his pupils faded away in an instant, leaving only the sharpness tempered by ice.
Someone!
The moment the cold light broke through the water, he instinctively turned sideways, spun around, picked up the clothes by the pool, and draped them over himself. A sudden splash of water erupted, and the short blade grazed his shoulder and pierced the pool wall. The splashing water hit his tense jawline, mixing with the water vapor and condensing into fine beads that rolled down.
"Who are you!"
He pushed his toes hard against the bottom of the pool, using the buoyancy of the water to spin around and avoid the second wave of blades.
His long, dark hair swung in arcs in the turbulent water vapor, revealing veins on his collarbone. Before he could even steady himself, he had already grasped the man's blade-wielding wrist and twisted it back—the sound of bone cracking pierced the silence, and the next second, the body was violently flung into the pool.
Han Zhi was just breathing a sigh of relief when a loud crisp sound mixed with the sound of water, and a sharp pain suddenly exploded from his buttocks. The assassin he threw into the water had not completely lost his fighting power!
His face changed. Even when he was so humble in the past, he had never been humiliated so frivolously by anyone except Chi Changyuan.
Rage consumed his entire mind, and the air around him suddenly grew colder. A glint of cold shone in his golden eyes, and he clenched his fists fiercely, his knuckles turning pale beneath the water. In an instant, the warm spring water, centered around him, froze into ice.
