"Drive! Drive! ”

A black horse galloped through the forest path, and the whip in Zhang Zeju's hand on the horse never relaxed, he was worried that if he went late, Ling Xiu'er would be in danger.

The black carriage was so tightly wrapped that anyone who sat in it looked as if they would be swallowed. Zhang Ze's hand was forceful, the whip made a crisp sound, and the horse walked towards the small courtyard hidden in the bamboo forest even faster. The horse's hooves trampled over, leaving a trail of dust in their wake.

The horse came to a sudden halt in the forest courtyard. Zhang Ze turned over and dismounted, and broke in without waiting for the guards to report. His brow furrowed and his expression solemn.

The courtyard is still elegant and clean, and the dilapidated flowers and trees in the courtyard add a kind of bleak beauty.

The fragrance of tea came from the house, and Zhang Ze walked up the stairs, his steps hurried and heavy.

Zhao Zhengzheng was calmly boiling tea, and when he heard the movement, he knew that Zhang Ze was coming, but he didn't raise his eyes to look at him, and took a sip of tea before saying, "It's out of proportion." ”

Zhang Ze didn't go around the road, knelt on the floor with his hands clenched into fists, and went straight to the point: "Lord Wang, has Ling Xiu'er been here?" ”

Zhao Zheng swept his eyes, his expression darkened, and he said in a muffled voice: "Why is it?" ”

"Please also ask the prince to be gracious, all I want is to hope that the prince will not involve Ling Xiu'er in this matter, she has nothing to do with this matter."

As he spoke, Zhang Ze knelt down and gave Zhao Zheng three big gifts.

Zhao Zheng's eyes deepened, and he picked up the teacup and sipped, "This king invited Miss Ling to discuss the old princess's birthday banquet, Zhang Ze, what are you talking about, why can't this king understand." ”

"Lord Wang, Ling Xiu'er has no help to the great cause of revival, and please raise your noble hand! Defeat *** ......"

"Presumptuous!"

Zhao Zheng's hand tightened suddenly, and the white porcelain teacup as bright as jade turned into powder in his hand, staring at Zhang Ze's eyes with a soul-stirring sense of oppression: "Are you teaching this king to do things?" ”

Zhang Ze hurriedly knelt down to make amends, but he still pleaded for Ling Xiu'er with his neck: "I don't dare, it's just that Ling Xiu'er is just a village woman, and she shouldn't have been involved." ”

Zhao Zheng's face returned to normal, his expression could not distinguish between joy and anger, but there was a compelling chill in his tone: "There are chess pieces on the chessboard, and this king only has useful chess pieces and abandoned pieces in his eyes, if you continue like this, you can only become an abandoned piece." ”

The fallen leaves outside the window are scattered, as if because of Zhao Zheng's words, the autumn of slaughter has come.

Zhang Ze was still kneeling, and his voice was neither humble nor arrogant: "I can protect my beloved, what is there to take care of my own body?" ”

Zhao Zheng looked at him, the expression in his eyes was unclear, and after a while, he laughed, as if he had heard some particularly funny joke.

"She is a married woman, and she only has her husband Cao Yu in her eyes, no matter how much you do, it is just to move yourself, do you think she will really appreciate it?"

He seemed to be smiling, and his eyes were full of mockery.

But Zhao Zheng subconsciously touched the wrench on his thumb, and then remembered that the wrench was given to Ling Xiu'er. When he realized that the wrench in his hand was empty, his taunt suddenly stopped, and then turned into a thick obscurity. If he could, he didn't want to involve Ling Xiu'er, but he could see clearly that Ling Xiu'er was the only way to control Cao Yu.

If you want to control Cao Yu, you have to control Ling Xiu'er. Those who achieve great things are not informal, and in order to occupy a place in the court, he must do whatever it takes.

Zhang Ze lowered his head, and did not notice the change in Zhao Zheng's expression, he kowtowed and said: "I don't ask her to be grateful, I just want her to be safe and happy, and her life is safe." ”

"People's hearts are flesh and blood, and I believe that sooner or later she will understand my heart for her."

"You're so stupid that this king admires."

Zhao Zheng laughed loudly, and then the emerald color in his eyes flowed, and he said: "Okay, this king will make a bet with you, if she can appreciate it, I will let her go, if you are infatuated with water, you will have to work for this king from now on, only this king is the first to look forward!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Ze didn't say a word and immediately agreed: "If you win in the next game, please ask the prince to do what he says." ”

"Okay, you can get out."

Looking at Zhang Ze, who had not raised his head, Zhao Zheng's eyes were a little more angry, and even the tea set was thrown out.

When Zhao Zheng sent Li Liang to send Zhang Ze away, Li Liang could sense Zhao Zheng's forbearance and anger, and when he was sent out of the bamboo hut, Li Liang sighed: "Why are you doing this? For the sake of a woman, is it also worth your disobedience to the prince? ”

Zhang Ze didn't stop, his footsteps didn't stop, his eyes were firm: "It's all about whether it's worth it or not, I think it's enough to be worthy." ”

Li Liang glanced at Zhang Ze's distant figure deeply, and quickly turned to leave.

For what Zhang Ze did, Ling Xiu'er was naturally completely unaware, and at this moment she was being caught by the Su family for medicine.

"Eh, Sister Su! Tap, tap! Hiss...... It hurts ......."

At that time, I didn't feel anything when I was beaten to the board in Zhang's house, and now it's time to take medicine, but it hurts so much that I want to kill. Ling Xiu'er grabbed the quilt under her with both hands, and cold sweat forced out.

While smearing the potion of blood circulation and blood stasis for her, Su Shi scolded and scolded: "This Fan Si is also real!" It's not a big deal! You're even more stupid, go up and stop something! My daughter's skin is the most delicate, why don't you think about the pain now? ”

Ling Xiu'er couldn't talk anymore, so she had to pretend to be a quail and sell it pitifully: "Sister Su, it really hurts!" I wasn't in a hurry at the time, if the two families really fought, maybe I would have to go to the prison to catch Brother Fan. ”

Hearing this, Su Shi unceremoniously increased his strength and ended the process of taking medicine.

Ling Xiu'er put on her clothes aggrievedly, "I didn't expect it to hurt so much, and I also took a big order to make a birthday banquet dress for the old princess of the palace, and the clothes were sent back in two days, how can I sit and embroider like this?" ”

Su Shi finished applying the medicinal oil for her, rubbed her again, and asked while rubbing: "Is it the Qi Wangfu that owed you wages before?" Are you stupid? The money you gave before hasn't been settled, and now you're rushing to help others work for nothing? We can't be bullied like this, let's not do it! ”

"But the God of Wealth who delivered it to the door can't help but accept it."

Ling Xiu'er didn't want to explain things in the Qi Wangfu too clearly, and she fooled this matter with a greedy look for money, and was glanced at by the Su family.

Ling Xiu'er stuck out her tongue, but what she thought in her heart was very different from what she showed on her face. Even she didn't figure out what kind of calculation this King Qi was playing, but she had already instinctively sensed the danger, and with her current ability, she couldn't fight against King Qi at all, so she didn't want to involve the Su family.

On the other side, Fan Meihua came to a delicate courtyard in a corner, whispered a few words to the porter, and after a while, a small servant led the way, and came to a room with carved beams and paintings, and there was a woman who was flipping through the scroll, it was Wei Zhishu!
