Jinrong in front of the tea table only heard a small hoarse voice behind her, and she turned her head sharply.

"Little, Miss!!"

She got up and walked quickly to the bed, seeing Ling Ling open her eyes and breathing softly, her face was full of surprise, and while she was happy, tears instantly wet her cheeks.

"Miss...... I knew it... You won't die......"

She raised her hand with difficulty, wiped Jinrong's tears, and said softly,

"Don't cry, I'm hungry."

A smile rose at the corner of her pale mouth, and when Jinrong heard her words, she instantly burst into tears and laughed, and without asking too much, she immediately went out to find Xiao Er to order food.

Ling Ling lay on the bed, his eyes staring at the top of the bed returned to their former brightness, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

She's finally free!

thought that the fake death pill was just an illusion of hers, but she didn't expect that she was so lucky to meet Huo Yun; After getting the fake death medicine, she always thought that she would not use it unless she had to; She thought that maybe he could help her withdraw from the concubine selection ceremony, or maybe she could ...... with him

But who knew that he was a pawn in that man's hands from the beginning.

The people she once treated with sincerity were all participants in the chessboard.

Even if she can understand that they are all ordered by him, but now she can't get over the hurdles in her heart.

That's it, anyway, Xiahou Ling is dead.

From now on, she has to be herself and turn back into Ling Ling.

"Jinrong, let me ask you something."

After drinking water and eating, Ling Ling's spirit recovered a lot.

She told Jinrong about the fake death medicine, and as for remembering Xiahou Ling's memory, she felt that it didn't matter whether she said it or not.

She walked back and forth in the room, stretching her muscles, and lay down for seven days, her body was not ordinary stiff.

"Miss, you say, Jinrong must answer if he knows."

"You brought me to the inn, can the people of King Jing's Mansion know?"

Jinrong looked at her for a moment, she pursed her lips,

"Qingliu he...... On the first day I brought my lady to the inn, I stayed outside the inn every day. ”

Ling Ling's eyes flashed slightly, and Qing Liu's handsome and harmless smiling face appeared in his mind, I'm afraid, he was also ordered by that person.

"Everyone, do you believe I'm dead?"

She had to make sure that no third person knew about it except for her and Jinrong.

"In the seven days that Miss was asleep, something happened in Night City."

"What's the matter?"

"The emperor has issued a holy decree ......"

Jin Rong took the announcement she had torn from the outside of her sleeve to Ling Ling.

"For seven days, no singing and dancing shall be allowed, and everyone shall be clothed, and the souls of the dead shall be comforted......"

She read softly.

"Miss may have forgotten, it is forbidden to sing and dance, wearing plain clothes, it is the emperors of the past dynasties who care about people like this, although the holy decree focuses on the master, but as long as you think about it, you will know that the emperor made it specifically for the young lady."

Ling Ling lowered her eyes, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, although it was a one-sided relationship, she still thanked the gentle and elegant emperor for paying attention to her.

She thought for a moment, "I'm afraid that if you don't take me out of the inn, Qingliu will always stay outside." ”

Jinrong frowned and lowered her eyes, looking embarrassed.

Ling Ling didn't know that Jinrong and Qingliu had a good relationship, but now she had to hide it.

"Jinrong, help me go to the mask shop to find Boss Huo and bring this to him."

Ling Ling walked to the desk, picked up the brush and wrote a few lines on the rice paper in the posture of holding the pen, folded it and handed it to Jinrong.

"Be sure to hand it over to Boss Huo in person. Also, Qingliu may follow you, you pretend to go to the store to buy a mask, and then tell the people in the store to ask Boss Huo to collect the money, and when you give the money, quietly hand him the letter. ”

At present, the only one who can help her is Huo Yun.

After Qingliu saw that Jinrong had bought something from the mask shop and returned to the inn, he continued to stay in front of the inn.

It didn't take long for Jinrong to come out of the inn, followed by four adult men carrying stretchers, on which lay a man who was tightly covered with a white cloth.

Qingliu's eyes darkened, and his brows furrowed.

Seeing that Jinrong was walking towards the woods outside the city, Qingliu's figure flashed and followed.

By the window on the second floor of the inn, Ling Ling was dressed in a green shirt, her hair was tied high, she had a folding fan pinned to her waist, and there were two more interesting mustaches on her delicate and beautiful little face.

After seeing Qingliu leave, the corners of her mouth lifted and she turned around and went downstairs.

Inside the house

"Thank you Boss Huo for your help."

Ling Ling raised his hand at Huo Yun and saluted.

"Miss Ling doesn't have to be polite, just raise your hands," Huo Yun sat at the tea table and poured Ling Ling a cup of hot tea, "It seems that Miss Ling has successfully escaped from King Jing's Mansion." ”

The teacup brought to his lips stopped instantly, and Ling Ling raised his eyes to look at Huo Yun, who was drinking tea with his eyes down. Huo Yun seemed to feel her puzzled gaze, and the corners of his mouth raised lightly, saying,

"There are some things that Miss Ling doesn't want to say, so Huo doesn't find out, Huo believes that Miss Ling's approach is his own reason."

Ling Ling's lips relaxed, "Thank you, Boss Huo." ”

"I wonder what you're going to do in the future?" Huo Yun asked.

"Plans......" she thought to herself, "I really don't have any plans for the future!" Anyway, now that I'm cooperating with Boss Huo, I'm also a little bit of money, so why don't I raise some money from Boss Huo and go out to the mountains and water? ”

The corners of her mouth hooked, and she raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"Is Miss Ling willing to do things with Huo?"

Huo Yun's deep eyes were full of sincerity, and he had a straight face, and he couldn't see the slightest joke.

"Boss Huo, I'm afraid I'm unwilling." She looked apologetic, "I don't want to just get out of one constraint and put another on it." The life I want to live is a free life without being controlled by others. ”

"Haha, what a free life!" Huo Yun smiled, "Miss Ling, don't worry, I promise you that if you follow me to do things, I will never restrict your freedom." My Huo Yun's industries on the Mingyan Continent are everywhere, you can go where you want to go, and you can do what you want. ”

He paused for a moment and said,

"And I'm afraid Miss Ling doesn't know that if you want to survive comfortably on the Mingyan Continent, you must first make it impossible for others to restrain you. In this Mingyan Continent where there are many masters, Miss Ling, you are a little girl who doesn't know anything, if you want to live comfortably, with all due respect to Huo's bluntness, it is impossible. ”

Ling Ling lowered his eyes and clenched the teacup in his hand.

Huo Yun is right, she has traveled through the past few months, and there is only a handful of time to go out, not to mention Yan Continent, and she may not even fully understand Night City. Huo Yun's words made Ling Ling suddenly realize that the era she was in was completely different from the modern era, and she wanted to survive in this era in a modern way...... I'm afraid it's really like what Huo Yun said, it's impossible at all.

And now that there is a ready-made big backer in front of her, why not do it?

"Boss Huo, how do you want me to help you do things?" She figured it out, her eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

"Be my Huo Yun's righteous daughter and help me take care of everything."

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Huo Yun said a word, Ling Ling, who was drinking tea, instantly choked, she looked at Huo Yun in disbelief, "Boss Huo, you're not crazy, are you?" I, be your daughter? ”
