Chapter 430: A Rare Tranquility
"Lord, Prince Yu left half an hour ago." Leng Qing continued, "When the subordinates left, Miss Suxin had already rested. β
"Tomorrow, we must take care of Cangzhuyuan and Xicrossi Courtyard." Shangguan Qingyu didn't pay attention to Su Xin's matter, but instead ordered, "If anyone takes the opportunity to get involved, you will come and see you." β
He bowed coldly and hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates take orders." β
Shangguan Qingqiao had already gotten up and walked to the bookshelf after leaving the study coldly, and as he twisted the mechanism on the bookshelf, the wall behind the bookshelf had already flipped over, and then Shangguan Qingqiao had disappeared into the study.
Ziyun City Criminal Department Prison.
"Second Miss, you are useless for dinner." Lao Lin looked at the various foods on the square table and said, "Second Miss, eat a little bit, how can you fight those wicked people when you are hungry." β
"Brother Lin, you go back first, I want to be alone for a while." Ning Zhixuan is not a person who will be easily swayed by emotions, even if the knife was on her neck some time ago, she can still face it calmly, eat and drink enough every day, it can be seen that she is really worried about a big battle tomorrow.
"If the second lady is too noisy, just keep your mouth shut." Lao Lin naturally didn't worry about leaving Ning Zhixuan alone in the prison, so he closed his mouth and retreated to the side at the moment.
Ning Zhixuan suddenly looked at Lao Lin, who was standing aside and no longer spoken: "Brother Lin has someone to worry about in his heart?" β
"The youngest is just a nobody, he has never had a family, and his parents have been dead for many years." Lao Lin looked at Ning Zhixuan's eyes with indifference, "The small ones are not old, they are not small, they are alone, and they are naturally carefree." β
"If a person has no concern in his heart, he will not be caught by anyone." Ning Zhixuan looked at Lao Lin, but her eyes were not the innocence that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl should have, but the sadness of experiencing the vicissitudes of the world, "But if you are really alone, who can survive this lonely years with no end in sight, the reason why people can survive those hardships that they thought they couldn't survive is probably because there are people and things in their hearts that can't be let go." β
Ning Zhiyun's words were like a needle, and they stabbed Lao Lin's heart that was already extremely hard under the layers of camouflage, but even if Lao Lin was really poked in the heart by Ning Zhiyun's words, it was just a momentary loss of consciousness, and soon Lao Lin had already returned to his usual naΓ―ve appearance and said: "Second Miss's words are really too profound, and the little one doesn't understand it very clearly. β
"Lao Lin has worked hard for days, so it's better to go back and rest early." Before Ning Zhixuan could answer Lao Lin's words, Shangguan Hanyue had already walked in quietly, "This king is here to accompany you." β
"The little one has seen His Royal Highness Prince Yu." Lao Lin saw Shangguan Hanyue walking in, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted, "Thank you for your kindness, the little one will retire." β
Shangguan Hanyue nodded to Lao Lin and walked towards the cell where Ning Zhixuan was held.
Ning Zhixuan looked at Shangguan Hanyue, who had walked to the prison door, and said, "Why are you here?" β
Shangguan Hanyue avoided the weight and said lightly: "I can't sleep, so I want to come and watch the stars with you." β
"It's more credible to come and drink with me." Ning Zhixuan tried hard to pull the corners of her lips, but she just squeezed out a bitter smile, "A drunk can relieve a thousand sorrows, but I can't get drunk at this moment." β
Tomorrow is Su Xin, the important moment of Bi Xue's desperate battle with the imperial concubine and the Bai family, how could Ning Zhixuan get drunk at this time.
"I've seen Su Xin." Shangguan Hanyue had already opened the prison door with the key as she spoke, "Su Xin asked me to bring you a word, she and you have one life, one heart, heaven and earth as proof, and never doubt each other." β
Ning Zhiwen has lived one life longer than others, and her heart is a little colder than others, but now when she suddenly heard Su Xin's words, she couldn't help but redden.
Shangguan Hanyue saw that Ning Zhixuan's eyes were red, and there were tears in her eyes, knowing that she never liked to show her weak side in front of others, so she had already extinguished all the candles in the cell with a wave of her wide sleeves.
In the cell where she couldn't see her fingers, Ning Zhiyun was about to ask Shangguan Hanyue why she had extinguished all the candles, when she saw that the door made of Xuantie had been opened, and then countless fireflies flew in.
"This is what you call watching the stars with me?" Ning Zhiyun saw countless fireflies flying in the sky above the cell, and at first glance it really looked a bit like stars hanging in the sky.
"Wouldn't it be a pity to go stargazing with you without wine and pastries." Shangguan Hanyue had already put the food box hidden behind him on the square wooden table as he spoke, "Don't worry, this is wine made from fruits, and you can't get drunk." β
"Thank you." When Ning Zhixuan took the fruit wine handed by Shangguan Hanyue, the corners of her lips unconsciously pulled up a soft arc, but fortunately, there was only a faint glow of fireflies in the cell, so the shy smile on her lips did not fall into Shangguan Hanyue's eyes.
"How does it taste?" Shangguan Hanyue asked.
Ning Zhixuan looked at him left and right and said, "Mo Jue's craftsmanship is good. β
Shangguan Hanyue followed: "It's good if you like it." β
Ning Zhixuan clearly guessed in her heart that this fruit wine must have come from Shangguan Hanyue's hand, but she didn't want to praise him for making good wine in front of Shangguan Hanyue.
"Let's eat a plum cake." Shangguan Hanyue handed a plate of plum blossom cake in a white porcelain plate to Ning Zhiyun and said, "The blade of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of the plum blossom comes from the bitter cold." Plum blossoms have always been the gentleman of flowers. β
Although the plum blossom is a gentleman in the flower, Ning Zhiyun knows that Shangguan Hanyue likes white toad flowers, in fact, Ning Zhiyun has already smelled the fragrance of white toad flowers on Shangguan Hanyue's body.
As long as Ning Zhixuan thought of the head-to-head confrontation between Suxin and the Bai family tomorrow, she would already be unable to sleep and eat, drinking fruit wine to dispel her sorrows, and now she didn't have the heart to taste dim se, and subconsciously pushed away the dim sum handed over by Shangguan Hanyue.
"You really can't see whose craft this is?" Shangguan Hanyue once again handed the pastries in the white porcelain plate to Ning Zhiyun and said, "If you don't eat it, I'm afraid you'll ruin that person's mind." β
"Could it be the plum blossom cake is ......" Ning Zhiwen hurriedly picked up a piece of plum blossom cake and tasted it, "This cake is really a vegetarian craft." β
"The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." Shangguan Hanyue looked at Ning Zhiyun and said, "Everything Su Xin wanted to say to you is hidden in this plum blossom cake. β
"Su Xin, she will always comfort me by my side, and even made plum blossom cakes for me." Ning Zhiwen couldn't help but pick up the plum blossom cake and stuffed it into her mouth.
