Chapter 79: Drunkenness
Jiang Shao stood outside the door of Baihualou with his hands in his hands, and the first thing he said when he saw Lin Qing was: "Where have you been?" β
Lin Qing lowered his eyes and staggered Jiang Shao's gaze, "Do I have to tell you everything?" Who are you? β
In the past seven years, Lin Qing has always believed in the principle of doing things is that everything must be preemptive, otherwise he will be controlled by others. In the face of Jiang Shao's question, no matter how she answered, she couldn't avoid revealing flaws, instead of waiting to be interrogated by Jiang Shao, it was better for her to make an aggressive gesture to question him first.
"I'm not one of you. Let's go back. After saying this, Jiang Shao didn't say anything again, and he didn't say a word to Lin Qing until he returned to the Three Kings' Mansion in the same carriage with Lin Qing.
Lin Qing was happy to see Jiang Shao's move, but she always felt that she had an indescribable feeling in her heart, obviously unwilling to face Jiang Shao's interrogation, but she didn't want him to treat herself as air.
"Miss Zhao, you can count it back. The prince was invited to a banquet, and he asked the slave to tell Miss SΓΉ that he didn't have to wait for him to eat with him today. The maid guarding in front of the Three Princes' Mansion respectfully welcomed Lin Qing off the carriage and said softly as she approached Lin Qing.
Since Lu Chengxuan announced that Lin Qing is Zhao Muxi, the two often dine together. Even if Lu Chengxuan didn't dine with Lin Qing, he would send someone to sue Lin Qing. Lin Qing didn't pay attention to Lu Chengxuan's going out to the banquet, it was just an ordinary banquet.
Moreover, having dinner with Lu Chengxuan, Lin Qing must also cheer up to answer Lu Chengxuan's various questions, even if it is some trivial things, she will not deal with them carelessly. Therefore, every time she eats, she is always tired and troubled. Lu Chengxuan happened to be absent this time, and she could also take the opportunity to plan her plan to get close to the second prince.
Lin Qing didn't expect that Lu Chengxuan would not return all night when he went out to the banquet this time. It's been more than a month since I came to the Three Kings' Mansion. This has never happened before.
"Hasn't the prince come back yet?" Lin Qing took the almond shortbread she made by herself and sent it to Lu Chengxuan's house, but who expected that she would be greeted by a blank waiter.
"The slave has not seen the prince since yesterday, and he has not returned overnight." The attendant replied with a low brow.
Lin Qing let out a 'grace', and when he was about to leave, he happened to hear a sound of footsteps from far and near.
"Be careful, don't bump into the prince." It was Fauber's voice.
Lin Qing stood in place and looked at the place where the voice came from, and the first thing that caught his eye was the picture of a group of people supporting Lu Chengxuan slowly approaching her.
"What's the matter, lord?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.
Fu Bo didn't bother to look at Lin Qing. commanded everyone to cross Lin Qing and directly brought Lu Chengxuan closer to the house, and then let everyone help him lie flat on the bed.
Lin Qing approached Lu Chengxuan's house with an almond shortbread, ignoring Fu Bo's gaze as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Get closer. You can smell the strong smell of wine emanating from Lu Chengxuan's body. But Lin Qing knew very well that Lu Chengxuan was not a person who was good at drinking and greedy for glasses, and he could get drunk like he is now, presumably the reason is not simple.
Lu Chengxuan's eyes were closed, but his mouth was chanting again and again: "Ah Yan." Ahh Don't leave me! β
The attendants who helped Lu Chengxuan into the house all knew each other when they heard Lu Chengxuan say this, and they all retreated. Even Fu Bo only glanced at Lin Qing deeply a few times, and then stepped aside to vacate the place next to Lu Chengxuan.
Seeing this, Lin Qing hurriedly leaned over to Lu Chengxuan's ear and said, "I'm here, Chengxuan, I won't leave you." β
"Really...... It's good that you're back. Lu Chengxuan's eyes were still not open, his voice was getting quieter and quieter, and he looked very tired.
It didn't take long for the people in the house to hear Lu Chengxuan's even breathing. Looking at Lu Chengxuan lying on the bed again, he was obviously asleep.
"I'll talk about what to do when the prince wakes up. If anyone dares to disturb the prince's rest, don't blame the old man, you're welcome! Fauber whispered. Although the voice is small, the tone is extraordinarily harsh.
As soon as Lin Qing heard this, he knew that Fu Bo's words were aimed at him, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he put the almond shortbread in his hand on the wooden table and retreated lightly.
I waited restlessly until the second day, and finally waited for the news that Lu Chengxuan woke up. When he got up early in the morning, Lin Qing couldn't wait to rush to Lu Chengxuan's house to find out about his condition, but was unceremoniously stopped by Fu Bo.
"I heard that the prince woke up, so I came over to take a look."
It's not that Lin Qingzhen cares about Lu Chengxuan much, firstly, because she is curious about the reason why Lu Chengxuan is drunk, and secondly, because she is afraid that she will not care about Lu Chengxuan's reputation and be treated coldly by Lu Chengxuan, so she rushed over.
Fu Bo snorted, but he didn't see Lin Qing.
Lin Qing was not annoyed by Fu Bo so coldly, he walked into the house with a smile.
"Chengxuan, look at you at my house. I heard that you were drunk, and I was worried about you. Lin Qing pushed open the door and saw Lu Chengxuan sitting in front of the table in a daze with his head propped up, this kind of Lu Chengxuan made Lin Qing feel strange and a little weird at the same time.
Lu Chengxuan glanced up at Lin Qing when he heard the voice, and called in a low voice: "Ah Yan." β
Lin Qing stepped forward, wanting to say a few more words to care about Lu Chengxuan, but he was caught up by Lu Chengxuan's waist. There would be no more distance between the two, but the atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward.
"Last night, I drank too much." Lu Chengxuan's voice was quite low, and it could be inferred from his voice that his mood at the moment must not be happy.
How could Lin Qing, who was accustomed to looking at people's faces, not see that Lu Chengxuan was in a bad mood at the moment, she wanted to comfort Lu Chengxuan but didn't know where to start, so she only replied softly: "I know." β
But in fact, Lin Qing didn't know anything.
Originally, Lin Qing was not too interested in knowing what happened to Lu Chengxuan last night, but Lu Chengxuan's reaction was too weird. Even if you are drunk, you should have a time to wake up, it's been a day, Lu Chengxuan still looks a little delirious, it's hard not to wonder if something unusual happened to Lu Chengxuan last night.
"You don't know, and if you really knew, it wouldn't be this reaction. In short, I can't help you in this matter. Ah, I was wrong......"
"What the hell is going on? Cheng Xuan, you speak slowly. Lin Qing took out his most gentle tone and coaxed softly.
Facing Lu Chengxuan, Lin Qing always had an extremely contradictory feeling. This person is sometimes calm, rational, and indifferent, and people can't help but feel awe. But sometimes he would be stunned like a child, which made people feel both incomprehensible and couldn't help but feel pity.
The current Lu Chengxuan obviously belongs to the second situation. (To be continued.) )
