Chapter Twenty-Five: Midnight Terror - The Rival Arrives

Ling'er was physically exhausted for a while, only to feel that her body was blackened in front of her and couldn't help but fall forward. Mu Chenfeng was thinking about his mother's condition in his heart, but he suddenly found that the person in front of him was leaning towards him, and he hurriedly walked a few steps to reach out for help. At this moment, everyone felt that the blue shadow flashed in front of them, and Ling'er was already stretched out by King Heng to take her into his arms.

Mu Chenfeng was stunned unconsciously, wanting to say something, but his mouth moved and he couldn't say it.

King Heng looked down at the beautiful woman in his arms, and saw that Ling'er's eyes were closed at this time, her face was sallow, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. Picking up the person in his arms with both hands, King Heng walked out.

Mu Chenfeng hurriedly said: "King Heng, please stay, the second lady fainted due to overwork, the current situation is better to rest in my house, too many bumps may not help her."

King Heng didn't want to pay attention to what he said, but in the end, he took care of the beautiful woman in his arms, walked a few steps and stopped, turned to look at Mu Chenfeng, his eyes were so cold that people shivered unconsciously.

The maid who was waiting next to her saw the situation in front of her, and immediately came over to lead the way towards the side room. King Heng then took Ling'er into the side room and settled it, Qingxi followed up and got warm water to wipe the face of the young lady, but helplessly looked at the king of Heng who was sitting on the edge of the bed and staring at the young lady. Ning Yiheng turned around and saw Qingxi, stretched out his hand, Qingxi suddenly understood, and handed him the towel in his hand. King Heng gently wiped the sweat from Ling'er's forehead with a warm towel, and his patient and meticulous demeanor seemed to be a rare treasure in front of him.

After about three incense sticks, Ling'er slowly woke up, opened her hazy eyes and vaguely looked like a man in front of her. No matter who is in front of him, there is always a special sense of intimacy when people see it at such a vulnerable moment, and Ling'er can't help but smile slightly at King Heng in front of him.

Seeing the beautiful woman in front of him wake up, the frost on King Heng's face melted, and he said indifferently: "It's better?"

Ling'er was fine at this time, and said softly: "It's okay, I'm just tired, just lie down for a while."

At this time, the doctor of Xunyinlou was already busy rushing over, and when King Heng retreated to the side, the doctor carefully checked the pulse and said: "Miss is quite weak, after being tired, due to lack of qi and blood, fainting for a while, it is not a big problem, and it will be good to raise some in the future." He also prescribed some prescriptions for nourishing qi and nourishing blood, and Mu Chenfeng immediately asked people to do it, and bought a lot of good things such as ginseng, deer antler, and bird's nest and gave them to Ling'er.

Ling'er didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her body, and after the doctor's confirmation, everyone was relieved. Ling'er felt that she was hypocritical, and then remembered Mrs. Mu, so she immediately got up three steps and walked towards the main room in two steps. When I arrived in the room, I saw that Mrs. Mu had woken up, thinking that the anesthetic had passed, and her face was pale with pain from the wound, and her face was sweating.

Ling'er stepped forward and comforted: "Madame, be patient, everything will be fine after the wound heals in three or five days."

Mrs. Mu has always been pampered, and after this toss, she didn't have the strength to say at this time, so she only forced a smile and nodded slightly at Ling'er.

Ling'er told the waiting maid one by one the precautions after the operation, and then stood up and planned to leave.

Turning around and seeing a strange and surprised look from King Heng behind him, Ling'er didn't explain, and said with a smile: "I'm tired for half a day, can the prince spend some money to invite you, the future princess, to a big meal?"

King Heng didn't realize that she still had the spirit to joke at this time, her heart was warm, she didn't speak, she stretched out her hand to hold Ling'er, and the two left hand in hand.

Ling'er turned around and said to Mu Chenfeng behind her: "Take good care of your mother, I'll come back tomorrow."

Mu Chenfeng watched the two leave, his heart was mixed, and he was silent for a long time before he entered the room to see his mother.

King Heng led Ling'er out of Xunyin Building, originally wanted to share a horse with him, and thought about his physical condition, so he finally let him take the carriage. Qingxi came out with the two of them all the way, and at this time he got into the carriage with Miss before he had the opportunity to worry: "Miss died in the stream today", and couldn't help but shed tears when she said it.

Ling'er looked at Qingxi sadly, reached out and patted her head and said, "Your young lady and I are fine, what are you crying about, I can't die just for you and Nuo'er, don't worry, my sister has to see the two of you get married to feel at ease."

Ling'er said that it was indeed in her heart, in this life, if there was no her by her side, Qingxi and Nuo'er would inevitably find their masters again. And this big week, the life and death of the slave and maid is just a word from the master, these days of getting along, I am reluctant to let these two girls suffer anyway.

Qingxi saw that Miss said seriously, and her heart was grateful, and her tears were like beads that had fallen off the line, falling continuously.

Ling'er handed over the handkerchief and said with a smile: "Quickly wipe away your tears, we have delicious food today, you can pick up your favorite ones and ask for more food later, remember to bring some back to Nuo'er."

Qingxi wiped his tears with his sleeve and said with a smile: "What kind of chef is not as good as Miss."

The master and servant changed their sadness just now, and were laughing to themselves, when the carriage slowly stopped.

King Heng dismounted and went to the front of the car to help Ling'er down, Qingxi followed, and the three of them arrived in front of a restaurant.

Ling'er looked up and observed, there was neither a plaque nor a signboard, and she was surprised in her heart: "Isn't it a private restaurant?" In my previous life, I often went out with my father to eat some restaurants that were not open to the public, and they were all insiders to eat, there were few people, but the taste was not ordinarily good, and the price was very high that day.

Seeing Ling'er's question, King Heng chuckled and said, "You'll know when you go in." So he led Ling'er in, and the three of them entered the building, but no one came out to receive them, so King Heng went to a room inside and pushed the door in. Immediately, a middle-aged man dressed quite well-dressed entered, this man had slender eyes, a high nose, thin lips, slightly raised eyebrows, and a golden satin lining people also rose. The man clenched his fists and said: "His Royal Highness King Heng has not come for a long time, and I will come here today, and I should cook the Ninth Master myself."

King Heng also saluted: "The ninth master is polite, today this girl is the main one, and there is the ninth master."

Ling'er said in her heart: "What is the situation, a cook calls himself the ninth master in front of the prince, and King Heng is so polite to him."

The Ninth Master had already noticed the person in front of King Heng, and he had already guessed who it was in his heart, so he only waited for King Heng to introduce him, so he smiled and said: "This must be the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ninth Master, I heard Young Master Mu mention Miss's cooking skills last time, and I have always remembered when to ask for advice."

Ling'er hurriedly got up and said politely: "After the award, Young Master Mu praised it falsely, how dare Ling'er's craftsmanship be ugly in front of the Ninth Master." What she said was the truth, with her little bit of skill, that is, it was okay to fool people in this world, and if she really dared to show ugliness in front of this low-key, luxurious, and connotative royal private chef, she really didn't dare.

The ninth master smiled "hehe" and said, "Wait a minute."

However, the tea kung fu, the wine and food have come up one after another, Ling'er can be regarded as half a foodie, after this half a day of fatigue, before I was not conscious, at this time when I saw the food, my stomach immediately "growled". Then he lifted the chopsticks and wanted to start, but at a glance he caught a glimpse of Qingxi waiting next to him, and hurriedly said, "Xi'er together." Qingxi looked at her with a bitter face, and Ling'er looked at her unproductive appearance and glared back at her fiercely. Fortunately, Xiao Er, who came in to deliver the food, had an eye, so he took Qingxi out and made another arrangement.

King Heng saw that Ling'er's master and servant were like this, he was angry and funny in his heart, and he didn't participate, and when Qingxi left, he sandwiched all kinds of delicacies on the plate in front of Ling'er.

Ling'er didn't care about eating, but the food in front of her was too tempting, and she was busy fighting for a while, and she felt that she was already seven points full before she relaxed a little. Looking up at King Heng, he saw that he was looking at himself with a smile, and he didn't eat at all. Ling'er suddenly realized that she was a little embarrassed to be so disregarding her image in front of such a handsome guy, "hehe" smiled and said, "The food here is really delicious, you should eat more."

Heng Wang Fang said lightly: "You can eat more, today's food is mainly nourishing, and it is the best for you."

Ling'er was very grateful in her heart, but she said forcefully: "I don't want to become a big fat man, what if I can't wear a wedding dress." After saying that, Fang Jue said the wrong thing, and hurriedly added: "With such a delicacy, even if you become a fat person, you have to eat it", and hurriedly lowered his head and started eating to cover up the past.

King Heng didn't care, just doted on the people in front of her, she ate without scruples, smiled happily, pouted when she got angry and ignored people, although she never thought that she was for the prince, but she still wanted to see her all the time, and she felt very relaxed and happy with her, this feeling has not been for many years.

Ling'er said while eating: "This is a private restaurant, is it dedicated to receiving you dignitaries?"

King Heng said lightly: "You can look down on the Ninth Master, the guests here are all people with the same temperament, if it is not pleasing to the eye, even if it is a lot of money, it will not be accepted."

Ling'er rolled her eyes, and grinned at King Heng: "I didn't expect this ninth master to still give it to the temperamental!" I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, "It's still the ancient people who lived chicly, like the white clouds of the drunken immortal residence, the ninth master here, or the morning breeze, which one is not living at will." For a while, I was envious in my heart, but I thought of the various constraints I would have to face when I married into the palace in the future, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Here, Qingxi stood outside and waited after eating, and Ling'er and King Heng walked out after eating. Ling'er and Qingxi got into the carriage, and the coachman drove straight to the prime minister's mansion. King Heng watched the carriage leave before he rode back home.

Everyone didn't know that a person hidden in the shadows at this time was already heartbroken when he saw this scene. It turned out that this person was that Baili Xin'er, and recently she got up early to wait for her senior brother to go out to play with her. Unexpectedly, I waited left and right and waited for no one to see, and I came out to hang out when I was bored. I didn't want to see it riding in this direction. I followed over and saw the scene, and I hated Ling'er in my heart.

When Ling'er returned to Lingxi Courtyard, she collapsed on the bed tired, and fell asleep after a hasty wash. At the third watch, Ling'er was sleepy, and suddenly felt a chill coming to her. Startled, he suddenly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a black-clothed masked man holding a sword pointing at him.

When the man in black saw Ling'er wake up, he just glared angrily and was silent.

Seeing this scene, Ling'er boldly said: "I don't know why Your Excellency wants to kill me, I have never been an enemy of anyone."

"I'm just going to ask you, do you really like Senior Brother?" Baili Xin'er, who was dressed in black, said sadly.

Ling'er only then realized that this was a rival in love. But seeing her gaze, it was really not owned by the wicked man, and after thinking about it, he sighed and replied: "I was also forced to be helpless."

Seeing this, Baili Xin'er doubted: "How can you say this, is it possible that you are still unwilling to marry my senior brother?"

Ling'er saw that she had room for maneuver, and thought that she was also an innocent and peerless woman when she saw her before, and today she is also a poor person for a man, but she forgot about her situation, and only said truthfully: "If there is another way to choose, I am determined not to marry the royal family." But it's not a secret, this is also what I agreed with King Heng, although I marry him, but if I leave in the future, everything will be as I want. ”

Baili Xin'er didn't expect Ling'er to say this, but seeing his expression, he didn't seem to be lying. She was also an innocent woman, trapped by love for a while, but she didn't have any murderous intentions, and she didn't feel relaxed at this time. looked at Ling'er again, although Ling'er woke up from her sleep, her hair was messy, and the fat powder was not applied, but it did not affect her worldly appearance at all, and her bright eyes were even more beautiful under the candlelight. Baili Xin'er looked at it for a long time and said, "You are so beautiful!"

Ling'er saw that the other party had no malice towards herself, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth and smile at the other party to show friendship.

Baili Xin'er sighed lightly, turned around and flew out of the window.

Ling'er only felt a lightness in her heart, and fell down, and she was sleepy for a while.

Before dawn, Han Yong, the head of the guards in King Heng's Mansion, received a report from his subordinates: "The guards who arranged to protect the second lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion were smoked with incense an hour ago, but fortunately, the second miss is fine." Han Yong was shocked when he heard this, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart: "There are not many guards in this capital who can easily put down my Heng Palace, but who has a grudge against the princess, but fortunately the princess is fine, otherwise, his head will not be guaranteed." So he hurriedly went to check the reason, so as to give King Heng a satisfactory explanation.

Ling'er didn't sleep well all night, and didn't fall asleep until dawn, and this sleep got up again in the middle of the day. I was in a hurry to wash up, and I didn't have time to eat breakfast, so I had to go out. Qingxi followed him to the old place, Mu Chenfeng had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the two of them coming, he wanted to say "hard work" to Ling'er, but before he could speak, Ling'er had already gotten into the carriage.

The carriage drove into the Xunyin Building, and Ling'er ran straight towards Mrs. Mu's room, sparing her for not knowing martial arts, otherwise she would almost have no wings, and the speed would throw Qingxi far away. When I entered the room, I tried Mrs. Mu's forehead with my hand, and I felt that there was no fever, so I was relieved. Although it was a minor operation, Ling'er was most afraid of infection, and only then did she settle down when she saw that there was nothing to do. He took water to clean his hands, redressed Mrs. Mu and changed the gauze wrapped around the wound.

Everything was busy, and Mrs. Mu said weakly: "I have been tired of the second lady in the past two days, and I will thank you again in the future."

Ling'er said with a smile: "Madame doesn't have to be polite, just call me Ling'er, I and Mu Shaozhu are also friends, and it is the duty of a doctor to save people and cure diseases."

Ling'er said sincerely, and then looked at Mrs. Mu and saw that Ling'er was not only stunningly born, but also had such a pure temperament, but the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
