Chapter 12: Intercession
To Jiang Shao's surprise, Lin Qing not only did not change his hexagram, but instead had the audacity to contradict Lu Chengxuan.
"Forgive the little woman for not being able to tell me!" Lin Qing's face was full of embarrassment, but it was more resolute that no one could refute.
"Engong saved my life, but he didn't want others to know, and before the little woman left, he repeatedly told him not to tell others his name and surname." Lin Qinglang said.
"Bold! Do you know who I am? Lu Chengxuan's face turned cold, and there were faint signs of anger.
As soon as Lu Chengxuan's words landed, Lin Qing felt a tingling pain in his chest for no reason. She couldn't help but be a little surprised in her heart, she and the person in front of her were only meeting for the first time, how could hearing his cold words make her heart ache?
Who is this person?
Jiang Shao rarely saw his Royal Highness angry, and he understood that Lu Chengxuan's anger was not very bearable. Looking at his appearance, he probably already knew that Lin Qing was not really Zhao Muxi. This matter is inseparable from himself, what if Lu Chengxuan is condemned to Lin Qing because of this?
"Chengxuan, it's all my fault for this, it's because I'm afraid that you will take advantage of the excitement and return home, so I came up with such a bad idea to let her replace Miss Zhao! Don't be angry, but if you are really suffocated, pour all your anger on me. It was rare for Jiang Shao to pull down his face to intercede, but this time it was for a vulgar woman who annoyed him a little, so he really felt a little unusual today.
Sure enough, his unusualness did not escape Lu Chengxuan's sharp eyes.
"Ah Shao?" Lu Chengxuan walked straight to Jiang Shao, and he suddenly felt a coercion coming to his face. "I remember that you have always disliked intercession, why do you want to bump into me for this girl today? Could it be ......"
"Not what you think!" Lin Qing suddenly snorted and intercepted Lu Chengxuan's blurted out words.
Although she did not have a good impression of the handsome disciple, she did not want him to be blamed for interceding for herself. She Lin Qing has always disliked things owed to others, especially things that are inconvenient to return!
"In the final analysis, this matter is because the little woman is too greedy for money, and she wants to deceive your excellency for a little gold and silver, and I hope you will raise your noble hand and spare me and that little brother! Besides, I didn't cheat you if I wanted to, so you don't have to be too harsh on us, right? ”
A simple 'we' unconsciously brings her closer to someone.
Lu Chengxuan suddenly smiled. He didn't mean to punish her, but the little woman took his words so seriously.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to talk to me. It's just that I really want to know your name, I wonder if I have this honor? ”
"Huh?" Lin Qing was stunned. How come no one has ever sued her for a man's change of face is like flipping a book? The noble man in front of him still looked cold and ruthless, but he chuckled and asked her for a name, who could tell her what the situation was?
"I ...... I am...... Lin Qing. ”
"Lin Qing?" His smile grew deeper, and his star-like eyes shone with dazzling brilliance.
Lin Qing felt that he couldn't take a second look at the man in front of him. His eyes seemed to contain a divine power, giving her the illusion of being trapped in a bottomless swamp.
"It is a forest of trees, and when the water is clear, there are no fish."
"That's right...... Then I should also show my identity to Miss Qing, I am Lu Chengxuan, this is my first guard Jiang Shao, and my best brother! Lu Chengxuan walked up to Jiang Shao in three or two steps, stretched out his hand and patted his broad shoulder.
"Your Highness...... Cheng Xuan ......, "Jiang Shao doesn't know what to say, and he unconsciously felt a trace of bitterness and sweetness in his heart.
Since he was a child, Lu Chengxuan has treated him very well.
Six years ago, Jiang Shao was only twelve years old, because his family was poor, his parents were sent to the palace as eunuchs, and his father was just a rural village husband, who originally had no chance to send him to the palace, but he was sent to the palace by chance, and even became Lu Chengxuan's personal guard.
Although he and Lu Chengxuan are one master and the other are servants, they have a tacit understanding and affection like siblings. Being the prince's personal guard looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact, he has to endure countless pains and tortures every day.
Without Lu Chengxuan's thoughtfulness and care, Jiang Shao would have doubted whether he would have been able to survive the half moon in the dark and boundless guard camp. Fortunately, he and Lu Chengxuan have gone through the past six years together, and they have become men who are enough to take charge on their own.
He is grateful to Lu Chengxuan, and has long regarded his life as equally important as his own. If anyone wants to hurt a single hair of His Highness, he will definitely return it tenfold and hundredfold.
"Lu Chengxuan? Isn't that His Royal Highness the Three Kings of the Dynasty?! Lin Qinghou was surprised. No, what a noble identity the third prince is, how can he deign to come to a small place like Muhe Town? He must have the same name as the third prince, it must be so......"
Seeing Lin Qing alone, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking his head, Lu Chengxuan only felt funny. "There are probably not many people in this world who dare to have the same name as me!"
Lin Qing, who had guessed his mind, couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, so he had to laugh a few times to hide his embarrassment. "That's, that's. It's the little woman who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I hope that Lu Gongzi won't be surprised! ”
"Now, it's time for you to call me 'Your Highness the Three Kings'. Why, has no one ever taught you the rules of being a people? Lu Chengxuan smiled and joked, and there seemed to be a dazzling flow of light and shadow in his narrow phoenix eyes.
Lin Qing intuitively felt that he had been poisoned, otherwise why did he have the urge to rush over and hug him tightly as soon as he smiled at him before they met? She must have fallen for the rumors in the rivers and lakes that can make people lose their nature! 'That's it!
"I ...... When I meet the prince, I hope that the prince will calm his anger, and never hear the vulgar remarks of the little woman! Lin Qing said that he really knelt down in front of Lu Chengxuan, "You just let Xiaomin go as a fart!" ”
It's not that she's really afraid of Lu Chengxuan, it's just that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, if they anger Lu Chengxuan, I'm afraid that there won't be any good fruit for her to eat! Lin Qing is a person who cherishes her life, she still has many wishes that have not been fulfilled, and she doesn't want to die casually.
Hearing that Lin Qing was willing to compare himself to a fart, Lu Chengxuan couldn't cry or laugh. When did he say what he was going to do to her? It's just that she pretended to be angry and wanted to tease her, but who knew that she couldn't help but scare her like this.
If he had changed his Ah Yan, I was afraid that he would have cried at that time! She will definitely hold on to his clothes tightly, and whisper coquettishly with a bitter little face: "Brother Chengxuan, don't be angry, Brother Chengxuan looks good when he laughs."
Even if the appearance is similar, the girl in front of him is not his Ah Fan after all.
No one knows how scared he is, afraid that once some people miss it, they will never meet again. The night is long, and I wonder if the person he misses is also like him, waking up every night? If she is still alive, why don't you come to the capital to look for her? Why did he wait for her for seven years? Or maybe it's true, as others say, she has already died.
But he won't believe it, he has made an agreement to stay together for the rest of his life, and his Ah Fan is by no means a person who breaks his word!
said that she would be good for a lifetime, how could she and how could she bear to let him go alone?
"Get up, this king has not thought of punishing you."
Lin Qing didn't dare to get up until she thanked her again and again, she knew that if she offended the prince, even if Engong came out, she wouldn't be able to protect her! Her little life was picked up by Engong with great effort, and she must not let down Engong's hard work!
"It's getting late, it's time for the little girl to go."
Now Lin Qing has only one thought in her heart - she wants to leave this dangerous prince soon!
The tea on the pear wood table had cooled, but the three people in the room were still looking at each other.
"What's the matter, Miss Lin is leaving?" Lu Chengxuan looked at her with a smile, and there was an inscrutable love flowing in his eyes.
Lin Qing felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably, "I'...... When the little girl was away from home for a long time, the people in the family were only afraid to worry. ”
She looked at Lu Chengxuan's gaze with a thick and pitiful aura, and his handsome and dusty face was reflected in his misty eyes. For a moment, it seemed that everything around them had turned into illusion, and only the two of them were left in the whole world. What she thinks in her heart is that don't men like weak women? If she makes a soft and weak appearance, I am afraid that this prince will raise his noble hand and let her go!
"I see, then Miss Xiaoqing, let's go back quickly."
"Huh?" Lin Qing was stunned. It seems that the rumors are all credible, and men really prefer weak women! It seems that she will need to take care of her temperament in the future, and if possible, she hopes that every mission in the future can be completed without a knife or a gun.
Lin Qingqing bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
Then she turned around and ran out of the private room as if she had fled, and left Fumanlou in less than half an hour.
Looking at Lin Qing's increasingly blurred back, Lu Chengxuan and Jiang Shao glanced at each other with a tacit understanding. The two sighed almost at the same time, but for different reasons.
