In the study of the exquisite small building, Ji Lingyun's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and after a while, he stretched his eyebrows and closed his eyes to recuperate, and his fingertips knocked on the corner of the table unhurriedly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Xing'er stood aside, feeling uneasy. The prince didn't pay attention, but Su Xin, the attendant girl next to the princess, could see it clearly, and Su Xin's eyes were quite unkind, and she must have noticed her thoughts.

I wonder if she will tell the princess when she goes back? Will the princess punish herself if she finds out? Will the prince protect himself?

The handkerchief in Liu Xing'er's hand became tighter and tighter, her heart was beating suddenly, and her body was hot and cold, I don't know if I was really looking forward to it or being afraid.

"Apricot?"

Liu Xing'er's body was agitated, and when she came back to her senses, she looked up in a panic, and saw Ji Lingyun looking at herself suspiciously, and said, "Are you suffering from a cold?" Why are you so unmotivated? ”

Liu Xing'er hurriedly shook her head and said, "The slave maid just didn't sleep well last night, so she didn't care." ”

Ji Lingyun nodded and said casually: "If you are not feeling well, go back and rest, this king does not need to be waited for here." ”

Liu Xing'er bit her lip, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she said softly: "Master, don't drive the slave and maid away, although Xing'er is clumsy, she is all about her master, and she also asks the master not to dislike the slave and maid for the sake of the slave's loyalty." ”

Ji Lingyun sighed helplessly: "Whatever you want." This king just thinks that you are not young anymore, and there is no one in your family for a long time, and this king will make decisions for you in marriage matters, if you are interested in someone......"

As soon as the words were said here, Liu Xing'er knelt down, tears fell down, and cried and begged: "Please don't drive the slave and maid away, the slave and maid don't want to get married, and just want to stay by the master's side and serve for the rest of their lives." ”

Seeing that Ji Lingyun was silent, Liu Xing'er said again: "If this is what the princess means, the slave will go to the princess." The slave and maid have no other thoughts, just ask the princess to raise her noble hand and leave the slave and maid to wait by the master's side, otherwise how can the slave and maid live without the master......"

Ji Lingyun frowned and said, "Why do you think so?" This is not what the princess meant, but the king thinks about you. If you don't want to be forced by no one, you should get up and speak first. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xing'er stopped her tears and stood up with a sob, looking pitiful, as if she had suffered some great grievance.

Ji Lingyun was a little displeased, but he also knew that this girl had always been such a character, so he didn't say anything more.

It's not that he didn't notice Liu Xing'er's thoughts, so he didn't mention letting Liu Xing'er move to Linglong Xiaozhu, just thinking that she would make her own thoughts.

If it were other women, Ji Lingyun would naturally have a way to make people retreat.

But Liu Xing'er is a girl who has been waiting for her since she was a child, and she also grew up watching her, although she is not as good as Lingxi, but in her heart she is different from ordinary people.

Ji Lingyun had a plan, just waiting for Liu Xing'er to accept her as a sister-in-law when she reached marriageable age, find a good family, and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. However, as Liu Xing'er grew older, there was a change of admiration in her eyes when she looked at her.

Ji Lingyun originally thought that she was still young and ignorant, so she didn't know what to do. But now it seems that he has to plan ahead.

Thinking of this, he got up and said, "That's it, it's almost time for lunch, you go and do things first, and let's talk about this later." ”

Liu Xing'er lowered her head and went out, and Ji Lingyun's thoughts were put back on the letter on the table.

Gu Fang's trip to Nanyang Yuan was just to secretly help protect Song Shiyang, but now, the development of things is no longer beyond their control.

The water in Nanyang is far deeper than they thought, and Song Shiyang has been in Nanyang for less than a month, but he knows a lot of things by mistake. Although he has gained a lot, it has already attracted Liao Guangtian's attention, and now it seems that his identity is only a matter of time before it is revealed.

At that time, Liao Guangtian will definitely not let Song Shiyang return to Beijing alive. Nanyang is Liao Guangtian's world, even if the ancient party is good at martial arts, there is only one person after all, and it is difficult to defeat four feet with two fists, and it may be difficult to protect the two.

However, at this time, rashly sending people to Nanyang is tantamount to startling the snake, I am afraid that Song Shiyang will die faster.

Ji Lingyun's hand paused, and he slowly opened his eyes, with a cold light in his eyes.

In addition to Ji Sihong, there must be someone in the capital who colluded with Liao Guangtian, otherwise Gu Fang would not have found only some fur when he went to Nanyang last time.

Obviously, Liao Guangtian had already received the news in advance that time, so he would have been prepared in advance, and only half-truths and half-truths allowed Gu Fang to find some irrelevant things and come back to deal with them.

Thinking of this, Ji Lingyun was stunned, and he suddenly had some doubts about the purpose of his father's private sending Song Shiyang to Nanyang, whether it was really just to investigate the case of King Jian, or whether he had already been aware of it.

Although his father has repeatedly made mistakes in the matter of Lan Guifei and Ji Sihong, it is undeniable that he has always been good at imperial skills, and he can clean up the mess that he inherited from his ancestors to this point, and it is impossible not to be wary of Nanyang.

Ji Lingyun suspected that Lin Hao was actually a spy sent to Nanyang by his father, and it was precisely because he knew what he knew that he was killed by Liao Guangtian. Perhaps it was Lin Hao's death that made his father aware of something, but it was inconvenient for him to have a seizure, so he has endured it until now. 163

Thinking about it carefully, I am very afraid, if everything is really as I think, then Zhang Xianli's death will have a big deal to say.

At the beginning, they found Ji Yuren and believed that Ji Yuren and Concubine Lan had reached some kind of agreement, using their positions to kill people and kill people, but there was an omission.

If Ji Yuren wanted to kill him from the beginning, he didn't have to wait until his father wanted to see Zhang Xianli before he started, which was too risky. Then it could only be that Concubine Lan learned that her father wanted to see Zhang Xianli, so she found Ji Yuren in a hurry and asked him to kill people.

So where did Lan Guifei get the news in time? Is my father really so defenseless against Concubine Lan?

Or is it that the father is taking the opportunity to probe, or wants to use Zhang Xianli's death to cover up, so as not to startle the snake, and then send Song Shiyang to investigate secretly.

The more Ji Lingyun thought about it, the more he thought about it, but there was too little information he had at present, everything was just speculation, and he could only wait until Gu Fang came back to think about it.

"Lord, it's lunch time, and the princess is already waiting in the flower hall."

Ji Lingyun withdrew from his thoughts, took out the fire fold and burned the letter from Gu Fang before getting up and going out. He was slightly surprised when he saw that the girl waiting outside the house was not Su Xin or Zhu Ling, but Chun Yi, who had always been lazy.

When they arrived at the flower hall, Bai Yanran was already waiting, and the three girls, Zhu Ling, Ah Ruan and Xiaoba, were all waiting in a regular manner. Su Xin didn't know where she went, but it was Chunyi who came to cloth vegetables.

Ji Lingyun vaguely noticed something, but when he saw that Bai Yanran was silent, he just didn't know.

After eating, Chun Yi packed up the table and handed the food box to Qiao'er who was waiting outside the door, and he realized that it was not Liu Xing'er who came to eat.

Bai Yanran saw his doubts, and said unintentionally: "Xing'er is your attendant girl, this is not her errand, and the division of labor between the subordinates also needs to be clear, so it's better not to overstep it." ”

Ji Lingyun hooked his lips and smiled thoughtfully, but did not answer.

At this time, Su Xin led Liu Xing'er to come, and when she entered the flower hall, Su Xin stood silently behind Bai Yanran, Liu Xing'er stood in front of everyone and was a little at a loss, let alone dare to look at Bai Yanran.

Ji Lingyun looked at Bai Yanran with a smile, as if he understood the situation in front of him. Bai Yanran also looked at it with a light smile and said, "If I hadn't heard someone say that Qiao'er came to deliver food in the past, I would have forgotten that Xing'er was the prince's attendant, and she was really wronged by doing these rough jobs."

So I specially called her over today, and wanted to discuss with the prince, I shouldn't ask the prince's attendant girl to do the work of the kitchen girl, so that others know that there are no rules. ”

Liu Xing'er had a ghost in her heart, and she went to the kitchen to get a meal and was told the princess's instructions, at this moment, it was the six gods who had no master, and she hurriedly said: "Thank you for the princess's understanding, the slave is just a subordinate, as long as she can do things for the princess and princess, she doesn't have to worry about any work."

Bai Yanran groaned with a smile on her face, but the words she said made Liu Xing'er's face pale.

"Having said that, but in the end, you are the attendant girl who followed the prince out of the palace, naturally different from the subordinates next to you, and the prince and I have to plan for you.

Now that you have reached the age of marriage, I heard that there is no one in your family for a long time, so I and the prince will check for you and find a good family. ”

Although the princess didn't say it explicitly, Liu Xing'er knew that she must know her own thoughts, so she had to send herself away. She didn't dare to beg Bai Yanran, so she knelt in front of Ji Lingyun and cried: "Master, the slave and maid don't want to marry, the slave and maid are dedicated to serving the master, begging the master to intercede with the princess for the slave and maid, don't drive the slave and maid away......"

Su Xin on the side couldn't help but interject: "What is Sister Xing'er talking about?" The princess only said that she wanted to find a good family for you, but what did you say seemed to push you into the fire pit.

And the princess only said that she would find a family for you, and she didn't say that you couldn't go back to the house if you got married. When the time comes, Sister Xing'er will continue to come back to wait for the prince, and the prince must be happy to see it. ”

Liu Xing'er looked up at Ji Lingyun and couldn't help shaking her head, Ji Lingyun's expression was as usual, as if she didn't see the pleading in Liu Xing'er's eyes, and only said: "What Su Xin said is reasonable, you have been waiting with this king since you were a child, and when you get married, you can come back and wait, this king has no intention of driving you away."

It's just that it is normal for a man to marry a woman when she is married, and this king cannot miss your life because of this, you will always marry someone.

Don't worry, this king and princess will definitely pick a good family affair for you, and it can be regarded as a fulfillment of the relationship between you and me for many years. ”

Liu Xing'er couldn't hear the meaning of Ji Lingyun's words, but she was already in tears and heartbroken. She knew that as long as the prince nodded, then the matter would be settled, and what else could she do with her as a subordinate.

Zhu Ling and Xiaoba stepped forward to help Liu Xing'er, Zhu Ling's eyes swept over Chunyi's stiff face, and she persuaded seriously: "Sister Xing'er, what are you doing?" For those of us who are subordinates, it is a great blessing to be able to get the master to make the decision in person when it comes to marriage.

It's just that Sister Xing'er is the prince's attendant girl to have this blessing, but others can't ask for it. ”

Xiaoba also said knowingly: "Yes, yes, how can we girls have the blessing of Sister Xing'er, and I don't know when we will be kicked out of the house if we mess up our errands."

The subordinates committed taboos, and those who were beaten to death abounded. We all envy Sister Xing'er, in the future, if you marry a good husband and children, that will be a good day, so you can wait to get married with peace of mind. ”
