When Cen Muning woke up, the injuries on her body didn't hurt much.

Qingli and the two maidservants were carefully medicating her, and a pot of jasmine flowers was placed in the room, which was blooming just right.

"The princess is awake." Qingli breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face was warm: "The slave is giving you the medicine that you have prepared, and you will definitely get better soon." ”

She helped Cen Muning sit up, and the smile on her face became stronger: "It was specially ordered by the master." ”

"By the way, what about the person who saved me that night?" Cen Muling grabbed Qingli's hand and asked, "Is she okay?" Where is she? ”

She ......" As soon as Qingli opened his mouth, someone pushed the door open.

The medicated servants hurriedly retreated to the side and knelt down.

Zhuang Chenchen was dressed in a cyan robe, which matched his face: "What does the prime minister want to send you into the mansion?" ”

"What?" Cen Muning looked at him suspiciously.

At this time, Yin Li walked in with a servant. As soon as the hand was released, the servant fell limply to the ground, without any strength.

Although she was unkempt, her face was also covered. From her silhouette, Cen Muning felt very familiar.

"Who are you?" She asked softly. "Look up."

The servant held her head up and ruffled her hair with her scarred hand.

"Miss......"

"Bingling, you're Bingling." Cen Muning got out of bed excitedly and knelt down beside her. The trembling hand cupped her jaw, and tears overflowed from her eyes. "Bingling, it's really you."

"The slave is useless, and she can't protect the young lady. How do you ...... your injuries?"

"It's all right." Cen Muning's tears rolled down her cheeks: "If it weren't for your protection, I wouldn't have gotten better so easily." Bingling, why are you here? ”

This is also what Zhuang Jinchen is most interested in. Yes, how could a maid from the Prime Minister's Mansion become a lady in his backyard, and she was selected once.

"On the first two days of Madame's accident, the slave maid and several government soldiers were ordered to go out of the city for Madame. Purchasing materials for autumn. Prepare to choose some good ones, so that you can send them to the palace. Bingling sighed: "Halfway through, the slave was robbed by the bandits and almost died. but he lost the money that his wife had given him. Those soldiers were also injured and escaped by luck, so we naturally returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion together. However, I heard the news of the accident with my wife. ”

Bingling said, tears falling down, and blood on her chapped lips one by one.

"Go get some warm water." Cen Mooning glanced at Qingli.

Qingli turned around and complied, and helped feed the ice cream and drink it.

With this saliva, Bingling felt that he had the strength to speak: "At that time, Aunt Guo sealed the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Shut out the wounded soldiers and slaves. The people who also said that we are Mrs. are gone, and now that Mrs. is gone, we don't have to go back to serve. That's how it drove us all away. When the slave and maid returned home, they were disgusted by my brother and sister-in-law, and they sold me to a large family under the pretext of finding me another errand. But instead of letting me work, they bought me, but taught me how to play the piano and chess, learned the rules, and kept me well fed and clothed. It's been two years, and I was sent to the Ruiming Mansion a few days ago......"

Cen Muling raised her head, looked at Zhuang Chenchen with an indifferent face, and said in a choked voice: "Your Highness, she used to be the one who served her mother's side. I haven't seen my mother for several years since she had an accident. Now...... Can you ......?"

"I can't." Zhuang Chenchen directly refused. "The king's mansion is not a shelter."

Cen Mooning sneered: "Yes, His Highness has always had no sympathy. So I'm not begging you, but hoping for an equivalent exchange. ”

"Princess......" Qingli had to remind her beside her: "You can't talk to the master like this." ”

"No problem." Zhuang Chenchen was interested, and his tone was slightly cold: "This king wants to know what qualifications you have to negotiate conditions." ”

Lowering her head, Cen Mooning smiled faintly: "Your Highness has been drugged, if it weren't for the concubine who pushed you into the water, I'm afraid that if you mess up your mind, you might do something unexpected." And the concubine is also the first person to go into the water to save you. Instead of being grateful, you still dispose of the concubine like this, if you can't even meet such a small request, what's the use of you keeping me by your side? ”

That's who she really is.

The coolness in Zhuang Chenchen's eyes came out point by point.

Her well-behaved and submissive, her bowing down to her ears, are all in order to be able to cling to him, carefully disguised. In her bones, she is persistent and tenacious, and her heart is also high. If it weren't for revenge, I'm afraid that in this life, I wouldn't be the woman next to him in such a low voice.

"Princess......" Qingli was worried, the master's words were life and death in an instant, and there was no roundabout. Master, the princess's injuries are not yet complete, and at this time the weather is getting hotter again, I am afraid that there is inflammation and fever. Thank you for your kind stay. ”

"I'm more awake than ever." Cen Mu Ning tilted his head and looked at his indifferent appearance intently. "If I can't even protect the people I care about, it's a burden to live. A useless person, presumably His Highness will not keep her by his side. That's it. ”

"Don't miss ......," Bingling shook her head repeatedly. Don't die for slaves. ”

"Last night in despair, I thought I was going to die under the fists of those women." Cen Mooning held her hand: "It was you who protected me, and in a trance I thought my mother was still around." I can't keep the one who wants to go, can I stay by my side, and watch her go? ”

Her eyes touched Zhuang Chenchen again, and she looked at his deep eyes calmly: "Naturally, everything depends on His Highness." ”

"Master......" Qing Li stopped for the third time, unable to speak: "Please also remember that the princess has been serving you wholeheartedly, just agree to this." Since the princess entered the palace, she has been injured three times and twice, and the imperial doctor also said that she has an old illness that has not been cured, and no matter how good her body is, she can't withstand such a toss. It's always good to have one more person around you to serve. ”

Zhuang Chenchen stepped forward, pinched her jaw, and said slightly angrily, "Anything else." You pushed me into the water, and I didn't kill you. Do you expect me to receive your affection? ”

"The concubine is ......" Cen Muning bit her lip and whispered: "You can teach the palace to swim downstream." Your Highness has learned, and you no longer have to worry about the service of people around you who understand the nature of water. ”

He remembered that Zi Xuan also said that he would learn to be water-based. In a trance, he always felt that Zi Xuan was back.

That uncontrollable longing made his face look extremely pale.

"Remember, you owe me this time." Zhuang Chenchen let go of his hand and turned to leave.

As soon as he left, the green plough knelt on the ground with a bang, and his legs were weak. "Princess, just be a slave and beg you, don't bump into Your Highness again. The slave is really afraid that he will let the slave and the slave cut you off with his own hands......"

"He won't." Cen Mu frowned: "Otherwise, I wouldn't let Bingling talk so much." It's been done a long time ago. ”

"Then why did the master let Bingling go?" Qingli was a little puzzled: "But all these things that involve the interests of the officials and nobles, the master never forgives them." ”

"I don't know." Cen Mu couldn't think about Zhuang Chen's thoughts, but looked at the dying Bingling distressedly: "The medicine you just gave me." Grab it and coat her. ”

"Yes." Qing Li cleaned up his face and hugged Bingling to the bed with great strength.

Cen Muning watched her fall asleep, her bloodless face ached. "Mother is gone, and even you haven't been left behind to give a good home. If she knew, she would be very sad. But don't be afraid, you protected me last night, and I will protect you in the future. ”

In the study, Zhuang Chenchen picked up the pen and drew the appearance of Zi Xuan. She is smart and intelligent, but when she loses her temper, she looks like a stubborn child.

It's been a long time, she hasn't been in his dream, and the fate between the two seems to be slowly exhausted.

No amount of thought can bring back to life a departed person. This is the most painful thing for him in so many years.

He was so focused that he didn't notice it.

"Master."

With a click, the pen fell on the face of the portrait. A good painting is ruined in an instant.

"The master forgives the sin, it is the recklessness of the subordinates." Yin Li hurriedly pleaded guilty, for fear that he would be angry.

"Yin Li, how long has she been away from me?" Zhuang Chenchen frowned and asked.

"It's been five years." Yin Li lowered his head and said truthfully.

"I'm losing sight of her." Zhuang Yanchen took a breath of cool air, as if choking into his lungs. He was so uncomfortable. "I always thought I cared about her, but why can't I even remember her face when I miss the person I miss every day......"

"When your heart is filled with others, you will naturally not remember what it used to be." Yin Li muttered thoughtfully.

"What?" Zhuang Chenchen stared at him with a pair of eyes.

"Master, don't you think the princess ...... Does the subordinate mean that today's princess, who is stubborn and stubborn, is very similar to her? After Yin Li finished speaking, he hurriedly lowered his head: "Master, someone in the palace has come to say that the emperor will hold a banquet tomorrow and invite you to the palace." ”

He successfully diverted the topic, and Zhuang Chenchen nodded: "The emperor wants to reconcile with the queen mother, so he spent all this effort." ”

"Yes." Yin Li continued: "The emperor also specially explained that he invited the princess to enter the palace together. ”

"Nature." Zhuang Chenchen also wanted to see if Cen Muning had the ability to get out of the emperor's fingers alive.

"Then the subordinate retired." Yin Li was just about to leave, but he was called by him again.

"Do you think they resemble?" Zhuang Chenchen was puzzled in his heart, so he had to ask more.

"......" Yin Li thought that he would not mention this matter again, but he didn't expect that he didn't put it down at all.

"Why don't you speak?" Zhuang Chenchen frowned and looked at him.

"Master, my subordinates feel that there are some similarities." Inevitably, he was angry, and Yin Li said again: "But people in this world have two eyes and one mouth, and who is not like whom." The subordinates retired first. ”

Zhuang Chenchen was a little stunned, and then looked at the picture he drew, he was in a trance who the woman whose face was covered by ink.

Zijiao, will there be a day when I will forget all about what you look like?
