Chapter 169: Nightmare
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Lingfu was lit up with lights, and the sound of firecrackers was deafening.
Ling Luo has now returned to the Ling Mansion, because of the relationship between the courtiers, she is no longer the unfavored concubine who was bullied and favored before, and even the old lady wants to let her score three points.
"Miss, today on Chinese New Year's Eve, the family banquet will be prepared in Yushizhai in the mansion." Xuanzhu shook off the snow on his body at the door and walked in to say.
"Well, what are you doing here?" Ling Luo lay on the soft couch and looked at the scroll in his hand, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Xuanzhu. He placed the plate and flour and other things on the table.
"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the young lady is a concubine, and she wants to wrap copper money dumplings to greet the old lady."
"Oh, got it." Hearing him say that, she remembered. In previous years, she served the stove in the snow outside the old lady's yard, freshly wrapped and cooked, just to be able to give the old lady steaming dumplings.
"Xuanzhu, I won't go to the old lady's yard to make dumplings today." In the past, the old lady bullied her together with the second lady and the second lady, and let her stay in the snow for several hours, and before the family banquet, she fell ill.
For so many years, she had never attended the family banquet in the Ling Mansion, and she had spent it on the sickbed.
"Miss, are you going to send it to the old lady in the room?"
"No, let the fourth lady go for me. Now that she is also the head of the house, it is only appropriate for her to go. Ling Luo said shallowly, she didn't have the heart to make dumplings and give the old lady a New Year's greeting.
"Yes, Miss, I'll send something to Miss Four." When Xuanzhu heard this, he felt that he was also polite, so he answered, and he packed up his things again and retreated.
"If you go over, take a hand!"
The snow was still fluttering outside, and Ling Luo felt a little sleepy, so he gathered the quilt and fell asleep.
In her dream, Ling Luo felt extremely cold, a dawn pierced the night, and a deafening cry filled her eardrums. She stood on the city wall and watched as the millions of troops under the city mounted their bows and arrows at her.
"Ling Luo, are you and I really strangers?" A shallow voice sounded, and Yu Zhan came with a backlight, and his peerless face was full of sadness, and his pale face was extremely terrifying.
"Sick seedlings? What happened to you? She muttered involuntarily.
"Ling Luo, do you remember your oath to mine? Do you remember the marks that you and I left on the Sansheng Stone? If you depart, I will not live. His voice was hoarse, pale and bloodless, like a breathless walking corpse.
"Well, from now on, you and I will no longer have anything to do with each other." After speaking, he gradually moved away, and the figure gradually blurred.
"Sick seedlings?" Ling Luo exerted all her strength before she shouted, and at the moment when she was about to jump off the tower, the army of millions above turned into a ditch, lying in front of him and Yu Zhan. Yu Zhan looked back, and fell down the ditch.
"Sick seedlings!" Ling Luo didn't think about it, and jumped off the city wall directly. Falling into a cold pool, the biting cold made her open her eyes violently, and she was greeted by a beam.
It turned out to be a dream.
I don't know when the stove is out, and the room is cold, no wonder she feels a little cold all the time. Just as he was about to get up, the door was pushed open, and Xuanzhu walked in.
"Miss...... Hey, why did this stove go out? Xuanzhu was about to speak, but was shivered by the cold air in the room.
Then he asked people to prepare a stove and turn on the lamp.
"Miss, are you alright?"
"It's okay, let a girl wait for the stove in the future! Don't let this happen again. Ling Luo said casually, and then sat up.
"Miss, the fourth lady has come to pay you a New Year's greeting."
"Let her in!" Ling Luo's eyes sank, and he said coldly.
Not long after, Ling Chuxia walked in with a plate of dumplings in his hand.
"It's time for the eldest sister to greet the New Year in early summer." Ling Chuxia's voice was still so ethereal, because of the previous events and the recent changes, her marriage to the general was also put on hold.
"Well, Xuanzhu, give the fourth lady a seat."
"Sister Xie." Ling Chuxia smiled lightly, and then asked the maid behind him to present dumplings.
"Eldest sister, this is the dumpling I made myself, is it delicious for the eldest sister?"
"I won't eat the dumplings, if you have nothing to do, you can retreat!" Ling Luo felt a little headache, and it was difficult for the whole person to come out of the dream.
"Eldest sister, what's wrong? Don't seem to be looking good? Hearing her say this, Ling Chuxia waved her hand to let the maid retreat, looking at her face a little pale, she couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, you go, I want to be alone for a while." The aura around her instantly became much colder, and she said in a cold tone.
"Eldest sister is thinking about the War King?" Ling Chuxia said suddenly, letting Ling Luo's hand hold her forehead pause, her eyes shrunk slightly, and she looked at her coldly. With a wave of his big hand, he let Xuanzhu and Ling Chuxia's maid retreat.
"Eldest sister, what's wrong with you? What did I say wrong? Ling Chuxia was frightened by her eyes, took a step back, and said timidly.
"Ling Chuxia, I don't care who you're working for, don't anger me, otherwise, I won't turn a blind eye again. Ling Luo's eyes sank, and he said coldly. The fluctuation of killing intent in that eye made people shudder.
When Ling Chuxia heard this, he hurriedly stood up, lowered his eyebrows and said with sincere fear: "Eldest sister, early summer should be damned, it angered eldest sister, early summer should not mention the war king." ”
Before she finished speaking, she felt that an invisible force was stuck out of her neck, she looked at Ling Luo with wide eyes and disbelief, only to see her glaring angrily, the killing intent in her eyes was so obvious.
"Ling Chuxia, originally I thought that you were simple and didn't have any scheming, and everything you did was just to protect yourself, but I never thought that you would be so scheming, pretending to be pitiful in front of me, in fact, you are more ruthless than anyone else, I plan for you everywhere to protect you, but you want my life everywhere." Ling Luo's eyes shrank, and his voice suddenly became cold. Now, she no longer has the patience to deal with Ling Chuxia, and nothing has happened in disguise.
"Eldest sister, I can't understand what the eldest sister said in the early summer, the eldest sister has wronged me." Ling Chuxia's ethereal voice trembled a little.
"Don't understand? Ling Chuxia, you can really pretend, things have come to this point, you can still pretend to be pitiful in front of me. Ling Luo scoffed.
"Eldest sister, early summer is not what you think."
"In this big mansion that eats people and does not spit out bones, it is rare to be alone without a little means, and you, in order to place yourself by my side, appear at the most opportune time, and use a flawed reason to stay by my side. Do you really think I'm so stupid that you've fooled me? Ling Luo's eyes sank, his voice suddenly became cold, and the strength in his hand increased, and Ling Chuxia suddenly felt extremely painful.
