Chapter 141: Choice
When he received the secret letter from Zhang Miaosheng, Zhang Ziyan was drinking tea with Lin Qing in the Qinxin Pavilion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's not too early, Ziyan, I should go back." Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Qing said goodbye to Zhang Ziyan at the right time.
Zhang Ziyan wanted to stay with Lin Qing for a while, but there was a knock on her door at this time.
"Concubine, there is your letter." Yide said outside the door.
Zhang Ziyan's expression changed suddenly, and the afterglow swept over Lin Qing, who was sitting opposite him, Zhang Ziyan's expression became more and more unnatural, and the words he originally wanted to keep were swallowed back into his stomach.
Lin Qing intuitively felt that Zhang Ziyan was hiding something from herself, but since Zhang Ziyan didn't say it, she didn't want to ask more. When he pushed the door out, he saw a maid dressed plainly, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.
Lin Qing recognized that this was another big girl next to Zhang Ziyan, Yide, she had never paid attention to this inconspicuous girl before, but today she felt that something was wrong with this girl, but she couldn't say what was wrong.
Confirming that Lin Qing had left, Zhang Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Come in." ”
Yide entered in response, and only when she walked in front of Zhang Ziyan did she carefully take out a letter from her sleeve.
"Why is this letter so much thicker than before?" Zhang Ziyan, who saw the envelope, couldn't help frowning, this time she always had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Regarding Zhang Miaosheng's letter, Zhang Ziyan was both expectant and afraid. I hope that he will write a letter to himself to comfort his lovesickness, but I also don't want to see him ask him to do something he does not want to do in the letter.
Taking the envelope, Zhang Ziyan slowly opened it with complicated feelings, but halfway through the opening, something fell out of the envelope defenselessly.
It was a bloody severed finger, loosely wrapped in a white cloth, and the picture looked particularly shocking.
If it weren't for Yide's quick hand to cover Zhang Ziyan's mouth, Zhang Ziyan would have almost screamed. Her call will inevitably lead Lin Qing, who has just left, away.
"Concubine!" Yide whispered, full of meaning.
Zhang Ziyan forced himself to stabilize his mind and slowly unfolded the letter paper in his hand.
"Ziyan, His Royal Highness ordered you to lead Zhao Muxi from the Three Kings' Mansion to the Ruyi Restaurant in the capital, you only have three days, if this matter can't be done, we can only meet in Huangquan."
The four words of Huangquan meeting deeply burned Zhang Ziyan's heart like a soldering iron.
Recalling the terrible scene when he and Lin Qing went out of the mansion and encountered a thief attack that day, Zhang Ziyan still had palpitations. Xiaoqing is willing to put herself in danger, and she also wants to let those people in black let her go first, how can she not be moved. Now Zhang Miaosheng actually asked her to lure Xiaoqing out of the Three Kings' Mansion, which was obviously to let her push Xiaoqing into the fire pit with her own hands!
"No, I can't ......" Zhang Ziyan hurriedly tore the letter in her hand, but looking at the severed finger on the ground, she hesitated a little. She had heard of the cruelty of the second prince, so she had no doubt that if she didn't complete the task, the second prince would really take Zhang Miaosheng's life.
Tears poured down like rain, Zhang Ziyan sat on her knees with a depressed face, and her mind kept imprinting the bits and pieces of her relationship with Zhang Miaosheng.
She never knew what her mother was like, and her father was always busy, and although he loved her, he was not at home all year round. That's all, she also has a vicious stepmother and a sister who likes to trouble her, although she is a young lady, she lives a life in Zhang's Mansion that is not even as good as a maid. Before meeting Lin Qing, the only warmth in her life was Zhang Miaosheng.
Only he will be the first to gently comfort her after she has been wronged; Only he will try his best to protect her in Zhang's Mansion; He is the only one who will always remember her hobbies, likes and dislikes; Only him......
"Brother Miaosheng, why, why is this ......happening," Zhang Ziyan said distractedly, tears even more fierce. Let her push Xiaoqing into the fire pit, how can she do it? If it were a stranger, she would still be ruthless, let alone Xiaoqing, who had saved her life and treated her like a sister!
"Concubine, if this matter is done, not only can Zhang Gongzi's life be saved, but the second prince may also remember your loyalty and kindness to take you out of the Three Princes' Mansion." Yide's tone was faint, and there seemed to be a trace of unbearability on his face.
"But, that person is Xiaoqing, how can I harm her? Xiaoqing is so good to me, how can I, I can't ......" Zhang Ziyan said sadly, looking very painful.
"The second prince asked the concubine to lead Zhao Muxi out of the mansion, not to take her life, as long as she obediently cooperated and handed over a thing, the second prince would release her unscathed. But if the second prince doesn't see him three days later, then Zhang Gongzi can ......" Yide said in a heartfelt tone, and persuaded him step by step.
When Zhang Ziyan heard this, he suddenly stopped speaking. After a moment of silence, Fang Cai said expressionlessly: "You step back first, I have my own ideas." ”
Yide looked at Zhang Ziyan a few times with some anxiety before retreating.
Zhang Ziyan was still kneeling on the ground, as if he had no feeling for the cold ground. She was the only one kneeling alone in the empty room, looking lonely and desolate.
……
The next day, Lin Qing had a rare late bed.
It has been five days since I received the cloth bag that allowed me to leave the Three Kings' Mansion. Originally, Lin Qing had been unable to make up his mind, resulting in these **** not being able to sleep peacefully. But after returning to the house from Zhang Ziyan last night, she suddenly had the idea of leaving the house in her heart.
Leave the Three Princes' Mansion, leave the capital, stay away from all these rights and wrongs, and live a free and easy life. This thought only flashed in Lin Qing's mind, but she firmly remembered it.
Since seven years ago, she has been under the instruction of Ning Canglan, doing those things that disgust her with stealing and deceiving people. Some time ago, I finally knew my true identity, but I started to run around to clear my late father's grievances. In the end, because of Song Wei's golden jade divine pill, he reluctantly accepted Ning Canglan's assignment and returned to the Three Kings' Mansion again.
Is there anyone in the world who lives more aggrieved than himself? Lin Qing kept asking himself in his heart, and his depressed mood was indescribable.
Because of the unhappiness in his heart, Lin Qing was also very lazy in doing things. After getting up to freshen up and eat breakfast, Lin Qing sat on the carved wooden chair again, holding a book and began to read.
"Miss, Concubine Zhang is here." Just as Lin Qing was reading the book with relish, the voice of the maid suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Come in, please." As soon as he heard that Zhang Ziyan was coming, Lin Qing immediately couldn't help but smile on his face.
In the Three Kings' Mansion, Zhang Ziyan was the only one who could make her smile easily.
The door was quickly pushed open, and Zhang Ziyan's familiar face suddenly appeared in front of Lin Qing's eyes.
"Ziyan, are you here for me?" Zhang Ziyan didn't come to Suxin Pavilion often, so Lin Qing asked this question.
Zhang Ziyan hurriedly entered the house, carefully closed the door, and then turned to Lin Qing and said, "Xiaoqing, I have something to discuss with you." ”
Lin Qing nodded knowingly, "You look like this, you look like you have something in your heart." (To be continued.) )
