Chapter 69: Kidnapping
He suddenly realized that Lu Linlang also had a fate similar to him, in this case, the choice of the two of them had a bit of the same meaning, in the face of the enemy she identified in her heart, she would never be soft-hearted, but sometimes she was too impulsive.
"Why did you go get the keys just now?" Murong Zheng took out a bunch of keys, Lu Linlang looked back at him, his eyes lit up, and then he reached out and took the keys, looking at them carefully one by one.
But she didn't say a word, she turned her head and was about to go back, but Murong Zheng stopped her, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go back." Lu Linlang glanced back at him, "I finally escaped from the Shen family, where are I going if I don't go back?" ”
"I thought it was ......" Murong Zheng was slightly stunned, pursed his lips, didn't say the words later, and strode to her side, "It's almost dawn, let's go back early." ”
"Why do you think so?" The two walked forward side by side, Lu Linlang put away the key, and looked at Murong Zheng with some curiosity, "Where have you been during this time?" Shouldn't he be chased and killed by the enemy, so he can only go out and hide, right? Is it still dangerous for you to come back now? ”
"How many enemies do I have in your eyes?" Lu Linlang's words often made Murong Zheng feel helpless, as if he was a big devil who did all kinds of evil, and everyone in the world was his enemy.
Lu Linlang pursed her lips and raised her hand to straighten the messy hair she had just run away a little bit, "When I first met you, you had a lot of enemies, who knows if you have provoked others during this time?" ”
"Yes, not just now." Murong Zheng glanced at her, Lu Linlang was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly smiled flatteringly, "This doesn't count, even if they find out, they will think that I did it alone, don't worry, I will never confess you." ”
Back at Linlang Embroidery Village, Lu Linlang breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to Murong Zheng and returned to his room, lit candles and sat at the table, and checked the keys one by one.
After checking it out, Lu Linlang took the five keys in her hand and tried them one by one on the two boxes, but it was useless, she frowned and took the remaining keys and tried them one by one, and the sky was bright outside in the blink of an eye.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, wake up......"
Sleeping in a daze, Lu Linlang heard someone call her, struggled for a while before opening her eyes, and saw Qinghong standing by the bed, looking at her with a surprised face, "Shopkeeper, you finally woke up, I thought that Brother Murong lied to me, it's time to get up, don't get up and wait for a while It's going to be dark." ”
It's getting dark, has she slept all day? Lu Linlang tried hard to open his eyes, thinking that he was too tired to try the key, so he simply fell into bed and fell asleep, and this sleep was forced until the evening.
She rolled over and sat up from the bed, "I'm awake, has anyone been here in the embroidery village today?" ”
"Nope." Qinghong shook her head, "Brother Murong asked us to close the door of the embroidery village early in the morning, so we don't have to open the door, and we don't have to worry about anything outside." ”
Fortunately, Murong Zheng helped her order, and Lu Linlang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, you've worked hard for you recently." ”
"It's not hard, it's not hard, we haven't done anything on the embroidery village all day, just waiting for you to come back." Qinghong seemed to be very happy to see Lu Linlang come back, and kept following her, helping her pour water and combing her hair, "Dinner is almost ready, let's go eat something first." ”
When she arrived in the kitchen, she found that she was not there during this time, Qinghong and the others cleaned up the kitchen again, replaced it with a large table, and the place looked more spacious than before, which made people feel a lot more comfortable.
As soon as Lu Linlang sat down at the table, she saw Murong Zheng also walk in, and sat down opposite her very naturally, "Have you slept well?" Did you feel anything uncomfortable? ”
"Nothing uncomfortable, I just don't feel like I have slept enough." Lu Linlang yawned as she spoke, if Qinghong hadn't called her, she would probably have been able to sleep until tomorrow morning.
Murong Zheng glanced at her, his eyes were faint, but with a look of wanting to say something, Lan Yi brought the prepared meal to the table, as if Qinghong made a look and pulled her out.
"Why did you pull me out? Aren't we usually eating with the shopkeeper? Before Qinghong could react, Lan Yi glared at her lightly, "I didn't see that the shopkeeper and Brother Murong had something to say, how could they talk when we were there?" I've divided the meal, let's go back to our room and eat. ”
Although Lan Yi usually doesn't talk much, and she is not enthusiastic about Lu Linlang, she is still better when it comes to looking at her eyes.
Lu Linlang also felt that Murong Zheng's face was a little different, lowered his head and ate a few bites of food, but couldn't help but ask him, "What's wrong?" Is there anything you want to tell me? ”
"You don't remember what day it is?" Murong Zheng glanced at her, and there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Lu Linlang suddenly froze, and the chopsticks in his hand didn't dare to move, Murong Zheng asked like this, why is it so much like a little girl who complains that her boyfriend didn't accompany her for the holidays? Could it be that today is the anniversary of how many days they have known each other?
Looking at Murong Zheng, he doesn't seem to be a person who cares about this kind of thing, saying that they are just ordinary friends, at most they are neighbors, so they won't have this kind of festival, right?
"Did I forget something? Can you remind me? Lu Linlang thought about it, it's better not to speculate, it's better to ask him directly, Murong Zheng glanced at her and put down the chopsticks in his hand, "I knew you wouldn't remember that early this morning, Miss Xu was sent to the palace." ”
Yes, today is the day when Xu Qingyue enters the palace draft girl! Lu Linlang actually forgot about this, and in an instant, she was like an enlightenment, her brain was bright, and her eyes widened a lot, "Why didn't you remind me earlier?" ”
Turning her head to look at the window again, it was getting dark outside, and the matter of the draft girl should have been over a long time ago, and it was useless for her to think about it now.
But then again, even if she remembered it in the morning, it was useless, it was Xu Qingyue who entered the palace, and she had nothing to do with Lu Linlang, she could only pray for her silently outside the palace, hoping that she could be elected by the emperor to enter the palace as she wished.
But Murong Zheng's expression just now, was it because Xu Qingyue was reluctant to enter the palace that he was so resentful? No matter what, he should comfort him, after all, Xu Qingyue already has someone else in his heart, and he probably doesn't have much chance.
"I know you're not feeling well, why don't we eat at home and go out for a drink?"
"Why drink?" Murong Zheng furrowed his brows and looked at her with some puzzlement, but Lu Linlang had a look of I understand your pain, with a little understanding on his face.
"You can't force this kind of thing, not to mention that Miss Xu is going to the palace, and she can't influence it, your feelings for her are hidden in your heart, so it's good for you."
After Lu Linlang finished his comforting words, he saw that there was more doubt in Murong Zheng's eyes, he raised his hands and propped them on the table, his eyes were dark and deep, so that people really couldn't understand what she was thinking.
"Who told you I had feelings for her?"
"Isn't it? Didn't you threaten me to make a unique dress for Miss Xu in the world, so that she could be successfully selected as a show girl, and you specially asked me to help you ask her out during the Lantern Festival. ”
Murong Zheng heard Lu Linlang say the end, her expression was about to twist, and in the end, the hand on the table was even clenched into a fist, who told her these things? Or is her head just different from others, and she can always think of something that others can't think of?
Lu Linlang saw that Murong Zheng's face was a little gloomy, his hands were clenched into fists, and his voice couldn't help but get smaller and smaller, "I know, I shouldn't have said this, but now that the wood is in the boat, it's a big deal that I will accompany you out for a drink, there is no grass at the end of the world, why bother to love a flower, right?" ”
"Yes, you're right." Murong Zheng nodded, stood up from his seat violently, leaned forward, crossed the entire dining table, and slammed into front of Lu Linlang.
A powerful sense of oppression came from the top of his head, and Lu Linlang felt as if he was bound by an invisible rope and couldn't move, so he could only tremble to meet Murong Zheng's gaze.
He was too fragile psychologically, and he just wanted to comfort him and say a few words, as if he was going to eat her.
"You said that I have feelings for Miss Xu, so I am with you all day long, what am I to you?"
"I, we...... Aren't we brother and sister? Lu Linlang had an idea, a flattering smile appeared on her face, her body shrank back, there was a wall behind her, and there was no way out, "I always call you big brother, and you usually take care of me, don't you?" ”
Murong Zheng took a deep breath, suppressed all those nameless fires, straightened up, lowered his eyes and looked at her lightly, "I usually take care of you like this, and I sacrificed my life to save you last night, why don't you think I have some feelings for you?" ”
"What?" Lu Linlang was completely stunned at this time, most of the ancient men had three wives and four concubines, and the watery Yang Hua refused to settle down, Murong Zheng's identity was not ordinary, and he was born so good-looking, I don't know how many women in the capital love him.
If he likes Xu Qingyue and is a little interesting to her at the same time, it is not impossible, Lu Linlang suddenly shook his head as if he was electrocuted, "Don't be joking, I know you are in a bad mood now, you can vent as much as you want, but there is one thing to say, don't joke with me, I am kind enough to comfort you, you can't treat kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”
"I don't need your comfort." Murong Zheng frowned and stared at her tightly, "I don't mean what you said to Miss Xu at all, it's just that she wants to enter the palace and be elected as a show girl, and to some extent she is also a chess piece, I say so, do you understand?" ”
