Chapter 56 Temptation

Daxin Shangzhu, the layout of the house is mostly red.

Ling Chengzhi's footsteps gradually faded away, Ji Qianning clenched the corners of the quilt, opened her eyes, and looked complicated.

She had already woken up, and it just so happened that Ling Chengzhi had heard everything she said, and all the conjectures in her heart had been confirmed, and the sudden epidemic in the Chiyan Army was really related to him.

This will, the whole person is a little refreshed, and her body is not tired before, but she doesn't know when she fell asleep, and she doesn't know when she was lying on this couch, but she finally saw Ling Chengzhi, and she won half of this gamble.

Suddenly, there was the sound of people moving in the room, Ji Qianning closed her eyes tightly, only to hear the footsteps getting closer and closer to her, and finally stopped in front of the couch, the red curtain was lifted, and a warm hand attached to her face, she immediately opened her eyes and struggled to sit up, turning her head to look at the person in front of her: "Ling Chengzhi." She pretended to be surprised by his presence.

Ling Chengzhi slowly withdrew his hand, and a smile appeared on his face: "Xiao Ning, it's this king." ”

Ji Qianning stabilized his mind, this scene must not show flaws. "Why am I here?" A suspicious look appeared on her face, and there was a look of anger in her eyes.

The smile on the corner of Ling Chengzhi's mouth did not dissipate, and he stared at her eyes meaningfully: "It's not Xiao Ning, you said you wanted to see me under the city?" ”

Ji Qianning heard the temptation in his words, "This person is quite suspicious, and he must be cautious and not show a trace of horse's feet." She admonished herself again in her heart. lowered his head, and his face was a little embarrassed: "In a drowsy state, the horse stopped on the ground, and when I raised my eyes, I realized that I had arrived in Kowloon City, and I thought that you were in the city, so I asked the armor on the city tower to see you." ”

"Why did you suffer from an epidemic, and the one surnamed Xuan didn't care about you?" Ling Chengzhi had some anger on his face, knowing that Xuan Qi was sick on the couch, but he was still a little angry in his heart.

Ji Qianning lowered her eyes: "There was a sudden epidemic, and I was unfortunately infected, I don't know who sent me to the horse while I was asleep, and I was in a daze for two days, and I arrived at Kowloon City unconsciously." "Falsehood mixed with a little truth will convince the listener a little.

"Oh, doesn't Xiao Ning never want to see this king again?" Ling Chengzhi chased after Ji Qianning's eyes.

Ji Qianning also looked into his eyes and smiled bitterly: "I don't want to die." A tear slid down the corner of his eye, "It's been nearly four years, I haven't seen my brother yet, I haven't burned a stick of incense in front of my father's tablet, I don't want to die so inexplicably now, I know, you will be able to save me." ”

"How can you be sure that this king will save you, but what do you know?" Ling Chengzhi suspected that she knew something, he had already asked the whole army to block the news, and even the people around him who knew about it also sealed their tongues under their coercion, if Xiao Ning knew, it could only mean that there was something wrong with the guy in the Chiyan Army.

"I'm not sure, the sixth prince is critically ill now, the only thing I can trust is you, don't you want me to stay by your side, if you escape now, I will depend on you." Her teary eyes stared at Ling Chengzhi, and there was a hint of expectation in them.

Ling Chengzhi stared at her clear eyes, he couldn't find a flaw in them, he was overjoyed, and when he heard the second half of her words, his heart was even more proud, he liked this kind of relationship mixed with a little interest, using each other, and owing each other, very good.

He stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on her face: "Xiao Ning, you can rest assured, this king will be able to heal you." ”

Ji Qianning instinctively wanted to avoid his hand, but in the end he stabilized his mind, let him wipe away his tears, raised his eyes and saw the bright smile on his face, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he finally touched his temper, and he should be more vigilant in the future.

It's time to be vigilant, even a childhood sweetheart like Yan Ji, who grew up with him since he was a child and planned everything for him, has never left a trace of affection, not to mention that he will touch his interests at any time, and he is alone.

Thinking of this, Ji Qianning nodded slightly at Ling Chengzhi, with a little trust in him in her eyes.

Ling Chengzhi was overjoyed in his heart, and helped her lie down, but always kept an appropriate distance, reached out and touched her forehead, although it was a little hot, but it was not as powerful as before, he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes shifted to her, and suddenly frowned: "Xiao Ning, the weather is very hot, why do you still wear a black dress that absorbs heat?" ”

Hearing his question, Ji Qianning felt a little helpless in her heart: "Beiyue is the same as Chiyan, the clan is still black, and they like to wear black clothes. In fact, only she knows that Xuan Qi never leaves an ink coat, she just wants to be more similar to him, just like four years ago, he said that her red clothes are very beautiful, and since then, all Luo shirts are mostly red.

"Black clothes don't look good, don't wear them again." Dressed in black, she was even more cold and glamorous, although Ling Chengzhi felt amazing, but he still said things against his will, he hated Xuan Qi, and hated everything related to Chiyan.

"Then I will ask the third prince to prepare a new dress for me."

"Okay, in a moment the king will tell people to prepare." As he was talking, someone outside the house asked to see, and got Ling Chengzhi's permission, and Mo Che walked quickly with a sandalwood plate, only to see a golden bowl on the plate, and he was also followed by the medical officer who had taken Ji Qianning's pulse before, and the two walked not far from Ling Chengzhi, and saluted respectfully, and Mo Che held his hands, unable to hold his chest, so he could only bow his head and bend over: "Your Highness, the girl's medicine is here." ”

"But the doctor cooked it himself?" Ling Chengzhi glanced at the person in front of him, with a serious expression.

The medical officer's tone was even more respectful: "Back to His Highness, and Lord Mo Che has been beside the villain, he can testify that this is the villain's kiss and pro-frying." ”

"Your Highness, the villain can confirm it." After finishing speaking, Mo Che brought the medicine bowl to Ling Chengzhi, leaned down and handed it forward.

Ling Chengzhi grabbed the wide sleeve on his right arm with his left hand, stretched out his right hand to take the golden bowl containing the decoction, and remembered in a tepid voice: "Go down." ”

"No." And Mo Che and the medical officer finished saluting, respectfully retreated outside the house, and when they did not move forward, the medical officer couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked Mo Che: "My lord, what is the origin of this girl, the villain has not seen His Royal Highness treat anyone so well, His Royal Highness has many concubines and concubines, and I have never seen him so attentive to anyone, I heard that even the princess and His Royal Highness are cold-eyed." ”

Yes, those women in the back house, except for Yi Xuan, the other women more or less put their lives and even entrusted their hearts to the third prince.

And Mo Che looked at him coldly, and his tone was quite unkind: "Lord Medic, you are a smart person, what should be inquired about and what should not be inquired, it is best to know in your heart, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for yourself." ”

"Yes, yes, the villain understands......" The medical officer touched his nose and could only accompany the smiling face over and over again.

……

In the house, Ling Chengzhi put the bowl on the wooden table next to him, helped Ji Qianning sit up, put a pillow behind her so that she could lean on it more comfortably, and then picked up the medicine bowl, scooped up a spoonful and handed it to her mouth.

Ji Qianning suddenly interrupted him: "What time is it?" ”

Ling Chengzhi turned around and looked out the window: "It's almost time." ”

"It's so late, and you haven't slept yet." A touch of shame appeared in Ji Qianning's eyes, "I'll drink the medicine myself, and you go to rest." As he spoke, he reached out to take the bowl in Ling Chengzhi's hand.

Ling Chengzhi smiled and flashed away: "It's okay, it's a matter of watching you drink medicine." Continue scooping up a golden spoon and feed her.

When the medicine came to her mouth, Ji Qianning had to drink it, she calculated in her heart for a long time, and suddenly had a plan, and spoke up again: "Ling Chengzhi, I have a fever and sweat, and my clothes are wet, this will be quite uncomfortable, can you find a clean clothes for me." She looked at him with a wistful expression, "So late at night, I know it's an unreasonable request, but I ...... ...... inconvenience"

Ling Chengzhi saw her pitiful eyes, and compromised for a second: "It's not unreasonable, this king will go immediately, but you have to drink the medicine first." ”

"I'll drink the medicine myself." She snatched the bowl from his hand, and the bowl shook and accidentally spilled a few drops, "Youlao, thank the third prince first." As he spoke, he put the bowl to his lips.

Although Ling Chengzhi was helpless, he still did not hesitate to leave the room for her sake, and at such an hour, he could only go to Leying in person to ask for the Luo skirts that those women did not wear.

It didn't take long for Ling Chengzhi to hold a new red Luo skirt and put it beside Ji Qianning. After Ji Qianning saw him, she immediately sat up, just in order to find an opportunity, she casually said that she wanted a dress, but she didn't expect that he was really found by him in the middle of the night, so she asked more: "So late at night, presumably the clothing shop in the city has long been closed, where did you get this clothes." ”

"Le Camp." Ling Chengzhi replied.

"Where?" Ji Qianning was puzzled in her heart.

"The women in the camp are all official prostitutes, this king knows that you don't like my Daxin women's clothes, so he asks from the Beiyue women, Luo skirt is new, in this case, Xiao Ning, you don't have to dislike it, tomorrow the clothes shop will open the door, and this king will order someone to cut two new clothes for you." Ling Chengzhi didn't even want to say a lie.

Although she played around when she was a teenager, she was a boudoir woman after all, so I don't know where this music camp is, but now I understand everything. Hearing this, Ji Qianning glanced at the dress beside her, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart: "Why are there women from Beiyue and Daxin?" ”

Ling Chengzhi glanced at Ji Qianning, sat in front of the couch and spoke slowly: "Most of them are the daughters of the thieves who committed crimes in the past, and they came to Beiyue with the army, and the rest are mostly prisoners of war, so they have also made a contribution." When he said this, his face was full of disgust.

Ji Qianning suddenly felt nostalgic for the life experience of these women who had never met before, if the hard-working women in this world, if they were killed with a knife to save their names, others would feel justified, and if they were lucky, they would have a good name for nothing; And those who want to live secretly can only be at the mercy of others and become the playthings of others.

Ling Chengzhi saw the pity in her eyes and was quite disdainful: "Xiao Ning, don't feel sorry for them, the rules of this world are like this, and so are their lives." ”

The woman can understand the situation of the woman best, even though Ji Qianning is dissatisfied in her heart, at this time, she can only endure it in her stomach: "It's not too early, you should go down and rest." ”

"Can you drink the medicine?"

"Hmm."

Ling Chengzhi glanced at the empty bowl and realized that it was appropriate: "Change your clothes and sleep again." ”

Ji Qianning nodded, watched his figure disappear, and got up to close the door.

On the second day, Ling Chengzhi let Ji Qianning sleep more, he went to see her on the third pole of the day, as soon as he entered the door, the room was silent, through the curtains, there was no one on the couch, he frowned, lifted the curtain with a cold face, and just wanted to vent his anger, but saw Ji Qianning lying on the couch. Her face was flushed, her breathing was heavy, and she reached out to touch her forehead, and he immediately shrank back when it was hot. He rolled his eyes, turned around, hastily took the veil from his bosom and put it on his face, then looked at the man on the couch again, leaned over and took her hand, put his right hand on her wrist, and listened to her disordered pulse, his brow furrowed even tighter.

I thought that my condition would improve after drinking the medicine, but now, it is even more serious than last night, what is the problem? He was nervous for a moment, this disease was dangerous, in case ...... No, he couldn't let anything happen to her.

"Medical officer, bring the medical officer to see this king quickly." He shouted anxiously outside the house.
