Lin Zhaoyan couldn't tell her mood at the moment, but she only had one thought, she wanted to escape!

As soon as this thought was formed, she hurriedly fled back to the wing room with the Seventh Prince.

Liu Shi looked at her panting and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The Seventh Prince snatched the conversation, "We bumped into a very green man!" Glancing at Lin Zhaoyan's expression again, he nodded, and concluded firmly, "It's terrifying!" ”

Very green man?

Liu thought about it all of a sudden, and thought that Lin Zhaoyan had bumped into the scene of some man catching rape, so he hurriedly said: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go back to the house quickly!" ”

In case someone wants to find someone to witness, Zhao'er is an innocent little girl, and she must not be involved in this kind of thing.

Of course Lin Zhaoyan has no opinion, she can't wait to put on her wings and fly back to Liu's Mansion at this moment, but she forgot that if Xiao Qi really had the heart to send someone to arrest her, it would be useless for her to flee to the ends of the earth.

After returning to Liu's house, Lin Zhaoyan had been worried in her heart, she couldn't sleep peacefully at night, and when she got up the next day, there was a large green shadow under her eyes, which startled the little maid who was waiting for her to wash.

It was easy to put on makeup to cover up his tired face, and when he went to greet Liu, he was teased by Lin Ruoyan again, "Lin Zhaoyan, why do you look listless?" Could it be that you are going to Tianning Temple again another day to ask for peace charms for you? ”

Liu was worried, thinking that what she had encountered in the temple yesterday had frightened her, right?

Lin Zhaoyan pulled out a smile, "I didn't have anything to do, I just didn't sleep well last night." ”

She really has nothing to do, she has already figured it out after thinking about it all night yesterday, no matter what Xu Xiujin's purpose is in Yanling, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke her for a day, she will treat it as if nothing happened, if he comes......

After all, that hasn't happened yet, so don't bother yourself.

In short, she Lin Zhaoyan will not enter the palace!

Lin Ruoyan stepped forward with a smile. "Hey, shouldn't you be unable to sleep because Brother Xin said that you can't get married?"

Lin Zhaoyan's eyes widened, and then he gritted his teeth, "That muddy boy told you too?" ”

Lin Ruoyan covered his mouth and snickered, and the thief said, "Because ...... I told him! ”

Lin Zhaoyan froze, "Lin Ruoyan! ”

Lin Ruoyan was unconscious, and continued to say heartlessly: "Who told you to worry about other people's affairs all day long, now that your two maids are married, but you haven't landed yet, don't I worry about you?"

"Then I really want to thank you for your worry!" Lin Zhaoyan sharpened his knife.

"No thanks." Lin Ruoyan patted her shoulder. "Now there is a good opportunity for you, in a few days, the famous Mrs. Li in Yanling is going to hold an autumn banquet, you are among the invitees, I heard that there will be many celebrities and sons present that day, you have to grasp it!"

"Mrs. Li?" Lin Zhaoyan's attention was immediately attracted to the past, and he didn't have time to worry about Lin Ruoyan anymore, so he hurriedly asked, "But Mrs. Zhizhou?"

"Exactly." Lin Ruoyan nodded, "It's the Mrs. Li who had a good relationship with you before, and I remember that my mother also matched you with her second son." But this time it's definitely no show, I heard that the second son of the Li family has already made a marriage, alas, it's a pity. Li Ergongzi is very good. As he spoke, he shook his head regretfully.

Lin Zhaoyan's brows furrowed even tighter, and when she mentioned Li Ergongzi, she thought of their mother and son joining forces to deceive her, although she understood her distress. But it will definitely not be good.

It's just that this revenge has been avenged, what do their mother and son want to toss?

"Zhao'er. You don't want to go? Seeing that her face was pale, Liu Shi hoped that she could get out of the shadow of the second prince, but he didn't want to force her, so he sighed and said: "If you don't want to, forget it, mother will help you refuse......"

"I'll go." Lin Zhaoyan interrupted her words and said solemnly: "I will go, mother rest assured."

"Zhao'er ......"

Lin Zhaoyan smiled slightly, "After all, Mrs. Li is an elder, and she used to take care of me, if she refuses, I'm afraid it won't be good." ”

Liu immediately laughed, "If you want, it's fine." ”

Lin Ruoyan couldn't help but say: "That's it, the past is all in the past, there is no need to tie yourself to the past and can't get out, no matter how good the second prince is, after all, he has ......."

"Ruo'er!" Liu glared at her fiercely, secretly hating her for being open-mouthed, and was busy looking at Lin Zhaoyan's expression, afraid that she would not be able to stand it.

Lin Ruoyan also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and glanced at her uneasily.

"I'm fine!" Lin Zhaoyan pulled out a smile, "If what you said is very right, the past is in the past after all, and I have already been reborn, so I naturally want to look forward." ”

Seeing that she was really fine, Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and skipped the topic and didn't mention it again.

Lin Ruoyan also deliberately changed the topic and talked about something else.

Lin Zhaoyan echoed them on his face, but he was secretly thinking in his heart.

She naturally knew that this autumn banquet was not simple, and what she said to let men and women of appropriate age know each other was just a pretense, Mrs. Li's real purpose...... I'm afraid it's to see her.

Her current identity has actually become Miss Yu of Yanling Liu Mansion, which is recorded in the name of the eldest lady, and she said that she has been recuperating in the temple for a few days before she was brought back to the house.

It is impossible for Mrs. Li to invite a young lady, so she must know the truth, and she is an outsider who will know the truth, in addition to secretly investigating, there is another possibility - someone in the know told her.

Since they came to Yanling, Fengqing Gongzi suddenly disappeared, leaving only a letter asking her not to look for him, and there has been no news since then, she asked Xuanwen to inquire, but there was no result.

Now it seems that Prince Fengqing is very likely to have met with Mrs. Li.

She had to inquire clearly where Feng Qing Gongzi went, after all, he was the elder brother who had been in trouble together, and Xin Niang had been waiting for him silently, she couldn't let him disappear for no reason.

☆★☆★☆★

In the days since, Lin Zhaoyan has been staying quietly in Liu's Mansion, not only for fear of seeing Xu Xiujin again, but also for fear that Mrs. Li will find someone to spy on her.

Sometimes I think I feel very sad when I think about it, I didn't expect everything to be over, and I have to beware of this and that life is so tiring, but fortunately, nothing happened, before the autumn banquet, her life has been quite peaceful.

During this period, she also received a letter, I don't know where Lu Dao sent it, the letter said that Lin Jinming had become a relative to the prince of Duanwang. And with two months of pregnancy, everything is fine, and Lin Qi is also doing well in a scholarly family in Shengjing, so she should not worry about it.

Lin Zhaoyan pinched the letter, looked at the familiar handwriting on the letter, and instantly burst into tears.

After the turmoil in Shengjing, the third prince was captured on the spot, and the second prince disappeared, and people said that he had probably suffered an accident. A narrow escape.

This is also the reason why Liu did not dare to mention the second prince in front of her.

But she knew that the second prince was still alive, and he was alive in his own way somewhere in this world.

Although he is no longer well-dressed and high-minded, he is the most comfortable and happy, living the life he most longed for before.

Lin Zhaoyan put away the letter properly and locked it into the bottom of the treasure box.

She thought that this was probably the last and only thought left to her by the second prince, whether he wanted it or not. She will treasure it, but she will never open it again.

The day of the autumn banquet soon came, and Lin Zhaoyan was woken up by Lin Ruoyan early in the morning. was escorted by her to freshen up and dress up, and the degree of attention was even greater than when she went to see Lu Yanzhi herself.

Lin Zhaoyan knew that she was kind, but she was still speechless. couldn't help muttering, "You have your own marriage settled, so can you toss me?" ”

Lin Ruoyan was helping her pick a hairpin, and it took a long time to pick a magnolia in the jewelry box. Inserted it directly into her bun simply and rudely, and said casually: "I'm not here for your good." As he spoke, he glanced at her a few more times, and nodded with satisfaction, "This is good, it's still plain and clean for you." ”

Lin Zhaoyan glanced at her, who used her head as a tool for various experiments before? But when she saw the hairpin on her head, she couldn't help but be stunned.

This, isn't this what Lu Yanzhi gave her?

She hurriedly pulled it off, "This, this is too plain!" Another one, I look at this jade begonia is also good, just this one. As he spoke, he plugged in himself, and his positive attitude was very different from the previous lazy and unwilling to cooperate.

Lin Ruoyan glanced at her strangely, muttered straight in her mouth, and simply didn't insist anymore.

Lin Zhaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

She had to quickly throw away the hairpin, as well as the pair of magnolia earrings.

Although there is nothing between her and Lu Yanzhi, and it is unlikely that there will be anything in the future, it is still better not to let Lin Ruoyan know that he is good.

After everything was ready, Lin Zhaoyan got into the carriage and set off for the Li Mansion.

The carriage traveled for about a quarter of an hour to arrive at the Li Mansion, and after getting off the carriage, a maid stepped forward to lead the way, all the way through the hall and the courtyard, and soon arrived at the place of the banquet.

Mrs. Li has not yet arrived, there are only girls at the scene, it is said that the male guests are on the other side, separated by a lotus pond, although it is a blind date, but after all, you must also pay attention to etiquette.

Lin Zhaoyan was very disdainful of this practice, and turned his head to enjoy the scenery in the park.

Although the Li Mansion is only the Zhizhou Mansion, Mrs. Li is proficient in the way of businessmen and has invested in several industries in Yanling, so the house is very large, and it is not like the exquisite and elegant buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is very similar to the style of Shengjing, which is very magnificent and atmospheric.

In particular, the back garden where the banquet is held is spacious, the design is original, and the garden is full of all kinds of exotic flowers and stones, which is quite pleasing to the eye at a glance.

No wonder Lin Ruoyan attaches so much importance to it, it seems that the grade of this autumn banquet should be quite high, looking at these young ladies who have already come, they are all dressed up extravagantly, and they are not worse than those celebrities in Shengjing.

A few young ladies who had gathered to talk saw her, probably looking at her face, and couldn't help whispering a few words.

Lin Zhaoyan didn't care either, and continued to enjoy her scenery.

Anyway, the purpose of her coming today was not to make friends.

"Sister Hu, she seems to be the concubine of the Liu family who Mrs. Li invited in person to break the convention. Cut, I don't think there's anything special about it! A girl in an apricot yellow shirt in a group of people pointed at Lin Zhaoyan and said disdainfully.

Sister Hu in her mouth, that is, the woman in red standing in the middle, couldn't help frowning, but said in her mouth: "People can't be good-looking, she can be favored by Mrs. Li, naturally she has her preciousness." ”

"What, I think it's scheming enough, I heard that she has been recuperating in the temple before, and this time Liufu doesn't go out much, and she doesn't have any talent in Yanling, if it weren't for her tricks, why would Mrs. Li look at her differently?"

"That's it, yes, but I've heard that. She looks very much like the fourth lady of the Lin family who Li Er Gongzi said she was married to before, the one who was burned to death in the palace! I think maybe Mrs. Li misses that Miss Lin Si very much, so she transferred her love to this concubine. ”

As soon as she said this, Miss Hu's face immediately became extremely ugly, "What nonsense do you say, what do you say, there is nothing to do!" ”

The other ladies were immediately silenced, looking at each other and not daring to say anything more.

Everyone knows that Hu Dieyi, the young lady of the Hu family, took a lot of effort to successfully get engaged to Li Ergongzi.

said in front of her that her future mother-in-law was obsessed with a dead woman, and how else did she, the future daughter-in-law, behave.

The more Hu Dieyi thought about it, the more angry he became. After glancing at Lin Zhaoyan several times, he suddenly stepped forward.

"You are the concubine of the Liu Mansion?"

Lin Zhaoyan was looking at the scenery and could see it, when he heard the voice behind him, he was startled, and hurriedly turned around, and saw a fairly beautiful woman looking at her with a sullen face.

The one who came was not good......

Lin Zhaoyan silently made up his mind in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "The little girl is exact, I don't know what is the matter with this young lady looking for the little girl?" ”

Hu Dieyi looked her up and down, and the more she looked, the more she felt that she was not qualified. The words also came out with a thick disdain, "It's nothing, I just want to warn Miss Liu, although you have entered the Phoenix Nest." You must also recognize your identity, a crow will always be a crow, and no matter how you dress up, you can't become a phoenix. ”

Lin Zhaoyan found that he really had the best physique.

"Thank you." But she didn't have time to compete with a little girl. Throwing down two words, he turned around and left coldly.

"Stand still!" Hu Dieyi grabbed her.

Lin Zhaoyan frowned, this is not over!

She was just about to turn around and reprimand her when she heard a cold voice not far away. "I heard that the second miss of the Hu family is knowledgeable and generous, but now I look at it but so, it seems that the rumors of the world cannot be believed, I think that the marriage between the dog and the second miss should be considered again."

Hu Dieyi's face turned pale in an instant.

Lin Zhaoyan also heard this voice, turned around and looked, sure enough, it was Mrs. Li.

She didn't want to be hated for breaking her marriage, so she hurriedly explained, "Mrs. Li misunderstood, is Miss Hu Er joking with the little girl?" Miss Hu, isn't it? ”

Hu Dieyi was stunned, was pulled by Lin Zhaoyan, and nodded in a hurry, "Yes, yes, Mrs. Li, the little girl is joking with Miss Liu!" ”

Mrs. Li sneered and had already stepped closer, "So, Miss Hu Er called Miss Liu a crow, and she was also joking?" ”

Hu Dieyi's face turned paler.

Lin Zhaoyan secretly complained.

Why is she so unlucky, she can cause a problem just by standing.

If this marriage is really blown, the Hu family must not hate her to death, and she will have a sad life in the future!

She has heard that this Hu family is a famous family in Yanling!

I wouldn't have gone out if I had known the way!

Lin Zhaoyan was lamenting, and Mrs. Li had already taken her hand, her attitude turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and she said very gently: "Zhao'er, come with me!" ”

Lin Zhaoyan subconsciously wanted to shake it off, but was held tightly by Mrs. Li.

She could already feel the hostile eyes shooting from all directions, and she scolded Mrs. Li with hatred in her heart.

Mrs. Li used to hurt her, but now this is so bad that she can't stay in Yanling!

"Don't you want to know about Lu Daoqing'er?" Madame Lee felt her struggle and leaned over to whisper in her ear.

Lin Zhaoyan was really stunned, raised his eyes to look at her, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

She, how could she know the purpose of her coming?

Mrs. Li smiled at her, "Then come with me!" ”

"Wait, wait." Lin Zhaoyan struggled, frowned, and said, "What about these young ladies you invited?" Even if it's your disguise, you should make a show and give them an explanation, right? ”

Lin Zhaoyan now knows that Mrs. Li is holding this autumn banquet in a big way just to frame her over, and she is surprised by her purpose, so she can't easily agree to her leaving, or delay it if she can delay it!

Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows, thinking that these people were not up to grade for her to explain, and she also knew that Lin Zhaoyan had a little Jiujiu in her heart, but she didn't plan to puncture her, anyway, she had already arrived at Liu's mansion, and she couldn't run away.

So she smiled slightly, "Okay, then let's start the banquet first!" After speaking, he told the maid next to him to take out all the melon and fruit wine that was ready. Then he greeted the ladies who had already stayed there with a smile.

Lin Zhaoyan looked at it coldly, and secretly sighed in his heart about Mrs. Li's ability.

She thought that if the person who was favored by Emperor Huiwen back then was Mrs. Li, there would not have been so many things later, because Mrs. Li must have killed the emperor a long time ago.

That is, her stupid mother, who can't forget and can't be ruthless.

Lin Zhaoyan took advantage of Mrs. Li talking to the other young ladies and quietly stepped aside.

Fortunately, she had just kept an eye on the route all the way, and she would stay in this garden later, and Mrs. Li couldn't go too far if she wanted to talk to her, and when she heard about Fengqing Gongzi, she would find a chance to slip away.

Though. She still couldn't figure out why Mrs. Li was calculating her.

"Miss Liu, thank you just now, I didn't expect me to say that about you, you can still help me speak, I'm really sorry." An apologetic voice came from behind him.

Lin Zhaoyan turned his head and saw that it was Hu Dieyi, he didn't have a good impression in his heart, and he smiled slightly, "You're welcome." ”

"If Miss Liu doesn't mind. Why don't you come with me, I can explain to you why, and I do have a lot of troubles that I want to ask you for. Hu Dieyi looked at her sadly.

Lin Zhaoyan pouted. I thought that what you little girls could have in their minds, it was nothing more than love and love, and she didn't hear them discussing what "Li Ergongzi" was there just now.

She glanced at Mrs. Li not far away again, and met her smiling expression. His heart jumped "chuckle", and he hurriedly pulled Hu Dieyi's hand, "Okay." I'll walk with you. ”

Hu Dieyi smiled.

"You already know the truth, I'm the fiancée of Li Ergongzi."

"I really like him, this marriage, I begged my mother for a long time, she was willing to agree to help me plan, I don't even want a girl's reserve for him, if he doesn't want me, I really don't know what to do......"

"They all said that you are very similar to the Miss Lin family that Li Er Gongzi liked before, do you know the way, I really can't accept it, Mrs. Li likes you so much, what if he sees it and likes you, when the time comes, what should I do......"

Lin Zhaoyan couldn't help but pause when he heard her say that something was getting more and more wrong, "You're thinking too much, right?" ”

Hu Dieyi smiled sadly, "You don't understand, you don't understand anything, how can you understand the mood of liking someone regardless of yourself?" Have you ever loved someone? Love so much that you can give up everything for him, regardless of fame, the future, or even your life, have you ever had it? ”

Lin Zhaoyan frowned.

"You don't." Hu Dieyi concluded, "So you can never understand my feelings, nor can you understand my uneasiness, uneasy...... I'm going to cut off any possibility that would get in the way of me being with him. ”

"Miss Liu, I'm sorry......"

Lin Zhaoyan looked at the smile on her face, and a chill crept up her spine, and then she also noticed that they had walked and walked to the lotus pond.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart, and as soon as she wanted to run, her shoulder was pushed hard, and then the whole person plummeted, and fell into the water with a "plop".

In an instant, the water of the lake rushed towards her in all directions, and instantly burrowed into her internal organs.

Lin Zhaoyan is about to scold the street!

Who did she recruit to provoke whom, why do you always bump into strange things!

She even survived the turmoil in Shengjing, and also changed the trajectory of her life in her previous life, if she died here, she would have died unjustly!

In order to survive, Lin Zhaoyan kept splashing in the water, struggling with his hands and feet, but after drinking a stomach of water, his body continued to sink.

Pit her to death, forgot to learn to swim!

Just when Lin Zhaoyan was getting more and more powerless, she suddenly heard a "plop" again, and she thought bitterly that who was unlucky enough to be pushed down, and suddenly her waist tightened, and her body was hugged.

She subconsciously opened her eyes, only to see an extremely familiar face appear in front of her, but her mind was blank, and before she could come up with a reason, her mouth was blocked, and then there was a steady stream of air pacing towards her.

It's a familiar touch, but it seems unfamiliar.

Lin Zhaoyan felt that his brain must have entered the water at the moment, otherwise he wouldn't be able to think of anything?

The water poured more and more, and the more and more it was filled, and the brain finally completely struck, and finally she remembered that there was a hand covering her eyes that she was trying to widen, and then her eyes went dark, and she completely lost consciousness.
