Ling Xiu'er obviously felt that the old princess's attitude towards her had changed for the better all of a sudden, could it be because of the wrench in her hand.

"Miss Ling, I heard that you embroidered the embroidery on this dress for me? Yes, yes, I like it very much. ”

"The princess likes it and is a blessing for the people's daughter." Ling Xiu'er was extremely humble, which made the old princess feel a little more satisfied.

"Come on, bring my return gift to Miss Ling, and then give the ruby head in my makeup box to Miss Ling."

The old princess's ruby head? Several old ladies and ladies present couldn't help but be surprised, but when they saw the wrench in Ling Xiu'er's hand, they seemed to have found the reason why the old princess did this.

This return gift was really a little heavier, and Ling Xiu'er hurriedly got up and excused herself: "Your Royal Highness the princess, this is too precious, and the people can't afford it." ”

"No need to excuse myself, I feel cordial when I see you, and the first time you and I meet, it can be regarded as my meeting gift."

The meeting gift given by the elders was not easy to refuse, so Ling Xiuer had to accept it head-on. The old princess looks very amiable, although she has the momentum of a princess, which makes people feel noble and abnormal, but there is no uncomfortable feeling at all, the old princess did not let the field cool down, and kept talking to Ling Xiu'er.

Ling Xiu'er felt that the old princess's attitude towards her was a little abnormal, and she didn't care much about it at first, but when the birthday banquet began, the old princess actually arranged for her to sit next to her, which Ling Xiu'er didn't expect. Originally, it was inconvenient to eat on this occasion, coupled with the meaningful eyes of the ladies, Ling Xiu'er felt uncomfortable, and she finally understood that the old princess was so good to her, I am afraid that she also felt that she was the concubine that Zhao Zheng was about to take into the mansion.

Ling Xiu'er didn't know how to explain, and just when she was fidgeting, Wei Zhishu was late with a congratulatory gift. With a flattering smile on her face, her eyes widened when she saw Ling Xiu'er sitting next to the old princess.

"Zhishu presented a congratulatory gift to the princess, wishing the princess happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." Wei Zhishu first congratulated the old princess on her birthday, and then said to Ling Xiu'er, "Yo, isn't this Mrs. Cao?" I heard that you are the concubine of King Qi who is about to enter the door, but you are really capable. As soon as the husband's front foot died, the back foot clinged to the prince. ”

"You, who did you say died?"

A harmless smile appeared on Wei Zhishu's face, and the words he said were like knives that went straight to Ling Xiu'er's heart. She said word by word: "I said, you are a father-in-law, Cao Yu, you are dead!" ”

Ling Xiu'er only felt a buzzing in her ears, as if a thunderbolt exploded in her ears, exploding her heart so violently that she almost couldn't stand.

She struggled to digest what Wei Zhishu said, and seemed to feel that it was difficult to connect these words into a sentence. Her father-in-law is obviously fine! I received a letter from him not long ago! How could she say he was dead?

The peace charm she asked for him was still on her, and she didn't have time to hand it over to him, and it was clear that she had prayed so sincerely, didn't God hear it?

No! No way! This can't be true!

Ling Xiu'er turned around and rushed out of the crowd, she must be able to prove that Cao Yu is still alive! It must be Wei Zhishu lying! Deliberately lied to her!

She stumbled outside, bumping into someone without realizing it. Zhao Zheng stopped Ling Xiu'er who was running towards her, like a wandering spirit, hitting him heavily in the chest, but she didn't seem to feel pain, and she still stubbornly wanted to go out of the door.

Ling Xiu'er was blocked in the way, raised her head blankly, and when she saw that it was Zhao Zheng clearly, the qi and blood of her whole body gathered in her mind, she frantically grabbed Zhao Zheng's sleeve and asked: "You are me, I have long known that my father-in-law is dead!" Isn't it! ”

Zhao Zheng looked at her grief-stricken appearance, and unconsciously softened his tone: "You calm down first, I just learned about this matter." ”

Calm down! How else is she going to calm down? Her father-in-law is dead! The sky is falling, too! It turned out that Wei Zhishu didn't lie to her! Cao Yu is really dead!

The string in her heart suddenly broke, Ling Xiu'er still wanted to say something, but her body had fallen softly, Zhao Zheng seemed to be saying something with her mouth open, she couldn't hear clearly, before her consciousness was scattered, she seemed to feel that her body was being picked up, and then fell into a deep darkness.

In a broken thatched house, Cao Yu seemed to have a feeling with Ling Xiu'er, he opened his eyes suddenly, and was a little stunned for a while.

Didn't he build a levee? How could it be in a broken grass hut? He tried to recall, his head was swollen and painful, he only remembered that the flood came quickly and fiercely, and the gap was not blocked in time, and he was swept away by the water at once.

The flood swept a lot of driftwood and stones, and before he could call for help, something knocked him out. But looking at the way it is now, I should have been rescued.

Cao Yu looked around the broken grass house vigilantly, and was puzzled when he saw a familiar figure at the door.

Huang Ping was carrying a bunch of herbs in his hand, and when he saw Cao Yu lying on the bed, he had already sat up by himself, and shouted in surprise: "You finally woke up!" You're so badly injured and have a high fever, I really don't know what to do! ”

Cao Yu realized that the pain on his body was severe, his body was covered with large and small wounds, and although his leg was clamped by a splint, it was swollen terribly.

Huang Ping put down the herbs in his hand, cleaned up and cleaned what could be used, and smashed the ones that could be used, while teasing him: "You are really blessed with a great life, this can be picked up by me, do you say that we are destined for it?" ”

Huang Ping took the mashed herbs and was about to untie his clothes. Cao Yu stopped his movements: "What are you doing here?" He didn't believe it so simply, it was really fate, and it was so coincidental that she was saved by her?

"Who are you? And why is it here? Is it a coincidence that you met me? If you don't make it clear, I won't take the medicine. ”

Huang Ping laughed: "You are really vigilant, don't worry, I won't harm you." ”

Huang Ping removed the bun on her head, her black hair was scattered, and looking at Cao Yu, who was a little stunned, she took out the token on her body again: "I am actually the emperor's princess, and I am a daughter." Huang Ping is not my real name, in fact, my name is Zhao Ping. This time I sneaked out of the palace just to find my mother-killing enemy, but I didn't expect to save you, which is an unexpected gain. ”

Seeing that Cao Yu was silent, she continued: "You don't have to be afraid, I won't harm you, no matter how I say it, I can be regarded as your savior, if I really want to harm you, you don't have to wait until now to do it." But I want you not to intervene in my affairs, not to interfere in my revenge plans, and only you know my identity, and you have to help me continue to hide my identity. ”
