819 Protection (2)
“Prince Rui,” Su Mingfeng said.
Prince Rui did not speak. Su Mingfeng composed himself. With Shen Miao here, he was not afraid anymore. At the thought of this, he almost forgot that Shen Miao was now considered Princess Consort Rui. From the looks of it, Shen Miao and Prince Rui were on good terms. If Prince Rui really wanted to kill him, Shen Miao would not sit back and do nothing for the sake of Xie Jingxing back then.
Although it was a little strange to think that way, Su Mingfeng still mustered his courage and asked, “I came today to ask something.”
“Shoot.”
!!
The curter Prince Rui’s reply was, the more uneasy Su Mingfeng was. He said, “Your Highness is very similar to an old friend of mine, but that old friend has already disappeared for many years. If you don’t mind…” He made up his mind and continued, “Can you take off your mask and let me see you?”
After saying that, Su Mingfeng lowered his head and waited for the reply uneasily.
After a moment of silence, a voice sounded. It was still faint and pleasant to the ear, but every word sounded like it weighed more than a thousand pounds in Su Mingfeng’s ears.
Prince Rui asked, “Is the old friend you’re talking about Xie Jingxing?”
Su Mingfeng’s heart skipped a beat, and he was almost overjoyed. However, in the next moment, he forced himself to calm down. Prince Rui had been in Ming Qi for a few months. Xie Jingxing was quite a famous figure in Ming Qi. He and Xie Jingxing were childhood friends. Perhaps someone had told Prince Rui about this.
He said, “Yes!”
“Xie Jingxing is dead.” Prince Rui’s voice was emotionless. “You said he disappeared?”
“Everyone says that he died in battle on the northern border. I’ve also seen his corpse with my own eyes.” Su Mingfeng smiled bitterly. “But I don’t want to believe it. I know that my request is abrupt and unreasonable, but… there are always some things in this world that I have to do my best to accomplish.” Su Mingfeng did not hide anything from Prince Rui. He looked at Prince Rui and thought that he seemed to be an understanding person. Perhaps Prince Rui would be moved by his words and grant him his wish.
The white tiger on the ground whimpered softly. Prince Rui stood up from the stone stool.
He turned around, and half of his mask emitted a cold and dark light in the wind. Only then did Su Mingfeng realize that Prince Rui was actually half a head taller than him when he stood up.
Xie Jingxing was also half a head taller than him.
At that time, they were young men and liked to compete with each other. To make up for this small difference in height, Su Mingfeng used to eat an extra bowl of rice everyday, hoping to be taller than Xie Jingxing. At that time, Xie Jingxing was quite amused and said, “Do you want to become the second Su Minglang?” ｂｅｄ𝚗ｏ𝚟𝚎𝚕.𝚌𝚘ｍ
Time flew in the blink of an eye.
Shen Miao wanted to say something but hesitated. Prince Rui said, “Do you want to see my face?”
Su Mingfeng nodded.
Prince Rui reached out to cover the silver mask and slowly took it off.

His eyebrows were slanted, and his eyes were deep. There was still a lazy smile on his lips. His appearance had changed slightly, from a beautiful and mischievous young man to a mature and handsome young man.
But it was still him.
Xie Jingxing curled his lips and smiled, his tone frivolous. “Are you dazzled by my handsome face?”
Su Mingfeng suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He went forward and suddenly punched Xie Jingxing on the shoulder, just like they used to do. He cursed, “You bastard, you’re even hiding from me. Are we not sworn brothers?”
