"Aren't you distressed?" Cao Zhijin asked.

She smiled: "Distressed? If others want them, but I have to give them, at this time it is hypocritical to feel distressed. ”

"It's just a few flowers, what's the feeling? No matter how horrible they die, it has nothing to do with me. If there's anything that concerns me, it's that others laugh at my powerlessness by taking these flowers by force. ”

"So, I don't have to feel distressed, and I don't give others a chance to laugh at my powerlessness."

At this time, Cao Zhijin felt that she was a little targeted at her.

"Steward Qi has only been sick for one day and the Heart Protector Grass has come to you, this matter can't be so coincidental, right?" Cao Zhijin settled down and asked.

"Not bad." She picked up a flower and put it on her head, like a fairy who has no quarrel with the world.

But the words that came out were incompatible with the clean temperament she exuded.

"How can I see you without getting the Heart Protector?"

"Why are you seeing me?" Cao Zhijin asked.

"I want to know what a woman who can charm Childe looks like."

"I don't like him, he's the one who trapped me here." Cao Zhijin explained.

"That's your fault too." She was indifferent.

"I have a father-in-law."

"Then you're even more wrong! Why don't you go back to your father-in-law? Because there's nothing you can do, it's your fault. ”

Cao Zhijin was noncommittal. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't believe in Xianggong, she wouldn't have fallen to where she is today.

"It's okay if you're wrong, I can help you correct it." Her tone reverted to softness.

"Would you like to help me!" Cao Zhijin asked happily.

"As I said, I'm a very purposeful person, I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself. Childe likes you, and if you're always here, you'll be my obstacle forever. So, I've got to send you away. ”

"Is there anything you can do?" Cao Zhijin asked.

"Nope. I know a piece of news, though. As if she was afraid of something, she lowered her voice and said, "In three days, His Royal Highness King Chen in Shangcheng will come to this mansion, and then it will be the time when the entire mansion is most lightly guarded." ”

"Shouldn't such an honorable person come on guard?" Cao Zhijin asked suspiciously.

Jiang Lianyi laughed: "Do you think that King Chen is just an ordinary pampered royal nobleman?" He is the god of killing on the battlefield, irritable and irritable, and takes pleasure in killing. If others can't hide from him, who would think of ambushing him? ”

"But I warn you, don't let him see you when he comes."

She glanced at the light veil on Cao Zhijin's face to hide the scar, "He doesn't like imperfect things. ”

……

Three days later, as Jiang Lianyi said, the guards at the gate of the Lotus Garden were all withdrawn. The whole house was much quieter than usual.

Yingniang listened to the news and came back to report: I don't know who is in the house, the old man is entertained in the front hall, and what is even more strange is that the guards in the house have been given a holiday!

Cao Zhijin hurriedly came to find Ah Yuan.

But when Cao Zhijin arrived, there was no one in the house!

"Is Yuan out?" Cao Zhijin looked at Yingniang and asked.

Yingniang shook her head.

……

Ripple Garden, Qiu'er ripped off the cloth ball in Ah Yuan's mouth and stepped aside.

Ah Yuan looked at Jiang Lianyi and took a sip fiercely.

"You wicked woman, you deliberately sent me a message that the brocade was in danger and lured me over, did you want to threaten the brocade with me? I tell you, don't think! ”

Jiang Lianyi smiled: "I didn't expect you to be ungrateful before, but you became righteous and angry when you died once." ”

"It's a pity that you regretted it too early. If you are the villain who tricked Cao Zhijin into the house, Cao Zhijin will always hate you, and you will not be her weakness now. ”

"Vicious woman!"

"The truth is always unheard."

"Brocade was locked up in the house by that bastard of Qiying, and she is the victim!" Ah Yuan relieved his emotions a little.

Jiang Lianyi looked at him and sneered: "Are you trying to win my sympathy?" It seems that you still don't understand, she is the one who stands in my way, whether she wants to or not, she is the one who stands in my way. ”

"What are you going to do with her? Just kidnap me? Ah Yuan raised the rope that bound his hands and feet and laughed, "Maybe the brocade still has a grudge against me, and won't come to save me?" ”

"I didn't expect her to save you. She is still young and ignorant of the world, and when she sees that the guards of the Lotus Garden have been removed, she will fully believe me. For your disappearance, she will only think that you are out. Her eyes were full of confidence, "An innocent little girl, I'm not prepared to spend much effort on her." I just need her to walk out. ”

"Go out...... Ah Yuan's pupils contracted suddenly, and he shouted frantically, "What day is today?" ”

"It seems that she told you that today is the third day, which happens to be the day when King Chen came to this house." Jiang Lianyi smiled, "I heard that King Chen is irritable and murderous, if the little girl encounters it, she may be in trouble." ”

"You're despicable!"

"It's smart." Jiang Lianyi looked at his white fingers and said admiringly, "Look at these hands, how clean they are." She is the sweetheart of the childe, who dares to harm her? But if King Chen wants to kill her, even if it is a child, he can only watch. ”

"I'm going to fight with you!"

"Don't worry, when she dies, I'll let Qiu'er bury you next to her."

Brocade, don't go out!

Ah Yuan prayed silently in the bottom of his heart.

It's a pity that Cao Zhijin can't hear it.

……

"Yingniang, I'll go out, don't go anywhere you stay here, if Ah Yuan comes back, don't let him go out again!" Cao Zhijin told Yingniang.

Yingniang didn't know the specific situation, but seeing her nervous appearance, she also became nervous and nodded solemnly.

Cao Zhijin looked at his clothes.

Her clothes were all tailor-made by Qi Ying, which was more eye-catching, she asked Yingniang to find the maid's clothes for her, and went out with a veil.

The county order house is not big, and it is not small. At this moment, Cao Zhijin only regretted that she was not familiar with the road in the house before, after all, there was not even half a figure where she could see now, and it was impossible to find someone to ask for directions.

But this King Chen is also strange, no matter how terrifying his reputation is, as a royal nobleman, no matter what, he should allow a few people to stay and protect, right? But he drove them all away.

Thinking like this, Cao Zhijin suddenly felt a chill in her back, she hadn't recovered from this horror, her neck hurt slightly, and she saw the light veil on her face fall off halfway, melodiously falling to the ground, silently.

"Who are you?" The man's voice was cold, sounding like he was in his twenties. She was relieved to hear that King Chen was about forty years old.

"I'm a maid in the house. You're not King Chen. ”

"Are you looking for King Chen?" His voice was a little colder.

She was scared, but King Chen didn't bring a guard, so this person shouldn't be King Chen's guard.

She boldly replied to him: "I'm not looking for King Chen, I'm looking for my friend Ah Yuan." ”

"It's impossible for outsiders to walk around this house today, and your friends either didn't come out or are dead."

"What did you say!" Cao Zhijin turned around angrily, the man was unexpected, and quickly withdrew the sword in his hand to the side in an unexpected way.

"Don't die." His voice was colder, like an inquiry, more like an affirmation.
