43. Chapter 42

It's just that before the two of them walked a few steps, a maid hurriedly came to report: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the county lord of Changle...... She ......"

Zhou Chengwen looked nervous: "What's wrong with Changle?" ”

The maid hesitated and said: "The county lord has a temper in her hair, and she found scissors to pay off her hair, saying that she would go to the monk after seeing through Hongchen." ”

Zhou Chengwen sighed irritably: "What is this dead girl doing?" After speaking, he turned his head and glared fiercely at Zhou Chengzhi, who came up from behind, "If anything happens to Changle, it's all your responsibility." ”

Zhou Chengzhi said unhurriedly: "Changle's stinky temper is not a matter of one or two days, she is making such a fuss because of you, or because of me, you know much better than me." ”

Zhou Chengwen snorted: "It's not that I don't know what kind of calculations you are making, don't you just want to use Changle to make a little scandal for me, the prince." You really think too much, don't say that I don't have any thoughts about Changle, but as long as her surname is Zhou for a day, I won't have any relationship with her. ”

Zhou Chengzhi sneered: "Then what if Changle is not surnamed Zhou one day?" ”

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Ling was stunned and looked up at him in the night. In the previous life, Zhou Changle's life experience was only known two years later, and it was then that Zhou Chengwen married her. Before this, there had never been any rumors about Zhou Changle's background. The world only knows that Zhou Changle is Prince Mu's most favored daughter, and he is also the most favored county lord of Long Live Lord, and his treatment is even better than that of several princesses in the palace.

I saw that Zhou Chengzhi's expression was faint, but there was a little deep playfulness. He is just a prince who has been excluded in the palace, how can he know Zhou Changle's background?

Could it be that he, like himself, is also reliving a life?

Jiang Ling was taken aback by his own thoughts, and when he saw him looking at him, he immediately looked away with a weak heart.

Zhou Chengwen was even more angry when his third brother said this: "You don't want to talk nonsense." ”

Zhou Chengzhi smiled: "I thought that second brother, you have always been bold and reckless, but I didn't expect that this point was even inferior to a little woman in Changle." You and Changle grew up together, better than our brothers, and you don't know what she thinks about you. Are you really willing to make her sad for this so-called morality? ”

Zhou Chengwen glanced at Jiang Ling and said, "I have always only regarded Changle as my sister, and my sweetheart is only Ling Er." ”

Zhou Chengzhi laughed even more: "Second brother will be the Son of Heaven in the future, can you guarantee that there is only Ling Er in the harem?" ”

Zhou Chengwen blurted out: "Of course I ......"

It's just that before he could say the rest of the words, he was interrupted by Jiang Ling: "Cousin, what's the use of you talking about this." ”

Zhou Chengwen was dissatisfied: "Why is it useless? I only have you in my heart, don't listen to Zhou Chengzhi's nonsense. You may not know, but I know very well that he has been thinking about you. Let's not fall for his discord. ”

Jiang Ling said in her heart, Zhou Chengzhi knew what he thought about her, of course she knew best, and the two of them could be regarded as secretly communicating for a long time. However, on the surface, he still had to pretend that he didn't know anything, and scolded lightly: "Cousin, don't talk nonsense. I see that Brother Chengzhi is also worried about the situation of the county lord of Changle, and when she just left, she seemed to be very angry. I think it's better for you to go and see it. ”

The maid who came to report also echoed: "Yes, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the county lord looks very unhappy, if you don't go over to see her, I'm afraid she will really cut off her hair." ”

Zhou Chengwen sighed irritably and let go of Jiang Ling: "Okay, I'll take a look." He said to Jiang Ling again, "Cousin, you go back to the room to rest first, and I'll take you to play tomorrow." ”

He was still worried in the end.

Jiang Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay." ”

Zhou Chengwen looked at Zhou Chengzhi with no peace of mind, and ordered to leave the two maids to follow Jiang Ling, so he turned around and hurriedly followed the maids to the Changle County Lord's side.

Zhou Chengzhi laughed quietly, and also took Zhou Chengru to say goodbye to Jiang Ling.

After this commotion, Jiang Ling was really tired. I just washed and lay on the bed, but I couldn't sleep. was first shocked by the beauty of the lotus pond, and then was shocked by Zhou Chengzhi's sentence that if the county lord of Changle is not surnamed Zhou.

She always thought that Zhou Chengzhi in the previous life had nothing to do with him, but it turned out that she was already doomed.

With a meow, a wildcat meow came from the beams. Jiang Ling frowned, lifted the bed, only to see a white shadow jumping down from the beam.

"You-"

Zhou Chengzhi put his finger on his lips and made a silent gesture: "Be quiet, I saw that the two maids had just returned to the room to sleep, be careful to wake them up." ”

Jiang Ling snorted and said angrily: "Why are you really like a disciple, always breaking into people's boudoirs in the middle of the night." ”

Zhou Chengzhi chuckled: "There are a lot of people here, if others see me getting close to you, maybe there will be some unpleasant words about our fornication, I don't care, how about ruining your reputation?" Besides, now that the queen and the Jiang family are interested in marrying, it is not easy for your father and mother to do it. ”

Jiang Ling pouted: "I know." She thought for a moment and said, "What did you just say that the county lord of Changle is not surnamed Zhou?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi smiled inscrutablely: "The county lord of Changle is not surnamed Zhou in the first place. ”

Jiang Ling pretended to be confused: "How come I have never heard of it." ”

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, and she doesn't know Changle herself."

Jiang Ling frowned: "Then how do you know?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi sat down next to her: "You must have heard that Changle is very favored, and the emperor takes her better than his own daughter." ”

Jiang Ling nodded.

Zhou Chengzhi smiled: "Don't you think it's strange? ”

Of course, Jiang Ling knew what the reason was, but he still pretended to be ignorant: "I think it's because the lord of Changle County has a likable temperament and knows how to please the emperor." ”

Zhou Chengzhi sneered and waved his hand: "You see Changle for the first time today, right?" Do you really think she's likable? ”

Jiang Ling didn't know how to answer.

Zhou Cheng knew: "Although it is a royal secret, it doesn't hurt to sue you." Changle is not Prince Mu's biological daughter, but the daughter of Prince Mu's sister Xinyue County Lord. Fifteen years ago, there was an unknown rebellion in the palace, and the husband of the lord of Xinyue County was a guard with a sword at that time, and died protecting his father. After the lord of Xinyue gave birth to his posthumous son Changle, he died of depression in a few days. Prince Mu only has this one sister, so he raised Changle by his side. The situation was turbulent, all news was blocked, and no one knew about it since. ”

Jiang Ling looked at him and asked, "Then how do you know?" You were only one year old at the time of the incident. ”

Zhou Chengzhi said with a smile: "I just thought it was strange, so I went to investigate secretly, and I only found out the truth recently." ”

Jiang Ling said: "What does this have to do with you?" ”

Zhou Cheng knew: "Of course it matters, Changle has always been thoughtful about my second brother, and my second brother treats her extraordinarily." If they have lovers and eventually become dependents, we will also become dependents. ”

Jiang Ling snorted and said deliberately: "My cousin is obviously only the county lord of Changle as his sister, aren't you messing around with the mandarin duck spectrum?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi smiled angrily: "What? Do you really think that my second brother only has you in his heart? Or do you want him to have only you as a cousin in his heart? ”

Jiang Ling glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

"You don't believe it, do you?" Zhou Cheng knew, "If you don't believe it, you can go with me to have a look." ”

With that, he took her hand and sat her on the edge of the bed.

"What do you do?" Jiang Ling slapped him.

He smiled at her, crouched down, held her feet, and tried to put her on shoes. Jiang Ling's face turned red and he wanted to struggle, but he was brutally grabbed by him. She had no choice but to give up.

The two quietly came to the courtyard where the county lord of Changle lived. Zhou Chengzhi took Jiang Ling and tiptoed to the lighted bedroom.

The voices of two people talking came from the room.

"Brother Prince, why can your cousin marry you, but I can't?"

"Changle, don't say stupid things."

The voice of the county lord of Changle was crying: "Brother Prince, I like you, and my wish is to marry you." Why do I have to have the surname Zhou, if I don't have the surname Zhou, will you like me? ”

Zhou Chengwen sighed: "You are my sister, whether you are surnamed Zhou or not, I like you." ”

"What do you know I'm talking about? It's the kind of liking you like your cousin. Brother Prince, you sue me, if I don't have the surname Zhou, will you like me? ”

Zhou Chengwen said: "Yes." ”

"Do you like it more than like your cousin?"

Zhou Chengwen was silent for a moment: "Changle, don't make trouble." Look at how much your hair has been cut off by you, it's not good-looking, can I help you tie it up? ”

The county lord of Changle said: "Brother Prince, me and your cousin, who is good-looking?" ”

Zhou Chengwen said: "Changle! ”

"Then if you get married, won't you be so nice to me?"

Zhou Chengwen said: "Of course not. ”

Zhou Chengzhi, who was listening to the corner outside, took Jiang Ling's hand and motioned for her to get up and leave.

After squatting outside for too long, Jiang Ling's legs were numb, and he tiptoed a few steps with him, and suddenly his feet fell and he snorted softly in the night.

"Who?" Zhou Chengwen's voice came from inside the house.

Zhou Chengzhi immediately hugged Jiang Ling and ran away. When Zhou Chengwen came out of the house, the path that the two had already hidden in the darkness had long since disappeared.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, is there something wrong?" The guards not far away ran over to ask when they heard the sound.

Zhou Chengwen said: "Has anyone been here just now? ”

The guard said, "No." ”

Zhou Chengwen frowned: "I guess it's a damn wild cat again." ”

Zhou Chengzhi hugged Jiang Ling and walked away for a long time before letting go of her: "I didn't lie to you, did I?" ”

Jiang Ling said: "If they are happy with each other, it is really a pity for them because they are not married with the same surname." ”

Zhou Chengzhi took advantage of the moonlight to look at her face and said with a smile: "You don't eat it?" ”

Jiang Ling said: "What do I eat?" ”

"The cousin who keeps saying that you are the only one in his heart, but in fact, there are others in his heart."

Jiang Ling snorted: "What if I say it's delicious?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi was teasing her, but she turned against the army, and snorted stupidly: "Don't allow it." ”

Jiang Ling glanced at him: "I've never seen someone like you who loves to find unhappiness for yourself." ”

Zhou Chengzhi chuckled and took her hand: "Since you said that it's a pity that people who are in love with each other can't be together, otherwise we will help them?" ”

"Are you so kind?"

Zhou Chengzhi raised his eyebrows: "If you help them, you will help me and you." ”

Jiang Ling chuckled lightly and said, "How can you help then?" ”

Zhou Cheng knew: "Don't worry, take your time, you just listen to me." ”
