A strange touch came from his ankle. Shen Yan lowered his head and saw a green triangular snake climbing up around his leg.

This is a bamboo leaf green snake. It's poisonous.

Chu Mingjing crooks his lips badly. Hum, a fool dares to make up with him. He wants to teach old three a lesson!

Shen Yan's face turned pale in a cold sweat.

He is afraid of snakes.

He didn't know why. He was afraid of snakes. The panic mixed in his blood made him cold and unable to move.

There are no palace people in the back garden now, only their two brothers are playing. Shen Yan did not dare to move. He said in a trembling voice, "five younger brothers, help me."

Chu Mingjing gave a cold smile and ordered: "green belly, bite him."

The green snake spits out the snake's letter, slowly raises the triangle snake's head, and then plunges to Shen Yan's thigh.

Shen Yan was shocked, and his cool air went straight to the bottom of his feet and to the top of his head. For a moment, his heart almost stopped.

At the moment when the green snake opened its mouth, a branch suddenly penetrated the snake's head. The green snake froze for a moment, and then collapsed.

Shen Yan was cold and sweaty, and there was no blood on his face. He was so stiff that he couldn't move his eyes.

But soon, someone hugged him and kicked the dead snake away.

This is a very warm embrace. The person holding him is obviously a child. His chest is not generous, but it is reassuring.

When Shen Yan looked back, he saw a bright and open face. He was born with a noble and upright spirit. It was Du Jue.

The sun in the sky was so far away. At this moment, Shen Yan felt as if the sun had set on Du Jue's shoulder.

This kind of Du Jue, he can remember all his life, Shen Yan thinks a little foolishly.

"How dare you kill my prince's green belly?"

Chu Mingjing pointed his fingers at Du Jue, and his eyes burst into flames. A little fat face became flat.

"This bamboo leaf green attacks third prince, should kill."

Du Jue holds Shen Yan's shoulder with one hand and presses Shen Yan's shoulder with the other. It is a posture of complete maintenance.

"Hum, you are my prince's companion. Who allowed you to be close to the third brother?"

Chu Mingjing has a beautiful little face, which is blacker than coal. He's sick of old three!! My father is protecting the third child, and even Du Jue, who doesn't know where he came from, is protecting the third child!!

Du Jue frowned slightly and solemnly corrected: "I am the companion of the third prince."

"Hum!" Chu Mingjing raised his hand to Shen Yan and said contemptuously, "he just lost you to me!"

Du Jue opened his eyes slightly and was obviously surprised. He looked down at the little prince in his arms and said in dismay, "don't you want me?"

Shen Yan's face was full of shame. He said in a low voice, "if I lose the martial arts contest with my fifth brother, you'll be his own."

Du Jue then asked, "Your Highness, do you still want me to accompany you?"

Shen Yan thinks it's very difficult to answer. He feels a little shameless when he says "yes"; he feels a little unfeeling when he says "no".

To meet Du Jue's expectant eyes, Shen Yan reddened and nodded: "yes."

Du Jue grinned and said, "that's easy. I'll only accompany your highness."

The eight year old boy is as bright and clean as jade, and seems to be shining under the golden and black. Shen Yan thinks that little Du Jue is really cute, and his speech is too sweet to be true. It's sweet to his heart.
