Candles flickered in the dark, and vague figures seemed to be vaguely reflected under the flickering lights.

"Do you know what to do?" Looking at the girl kneeling in front of him, a cold and deep voice sounded.

He frivolously raised the girl's chin, his eyes full of teasing, "Don't waste your face, that's what I thought when I let you stay by her side."

The girl lowered her eyes and nodded, looking at the man's expression and nodding respectfully.

"If you can get the favor of Gu Zhanheng with this face, it will be your blessing." There was a bit of interest in the cold and deep voice, "Don't forget about Jiang Yin."

"Master, don't worry, this slave will never forget, and I dare not forget." The girl lowered her head and said in a low voice, "This slave will never forget the tragic death of her parents and sister."

The girl's eyes were red and she didn't dare to shed a tear, "Maybe they have long forgotten how the slave's parents died, but the slave will never forget;

Back then, thanks to the help of the master, the slave and servant got back a life, and this life of the slave..."

"Your life is your own." There was indifference in the interested voice, but the eyes did not fall on the girl's blushing cheeks.

The girl knelt down to thank the man, but she still didn't look up at the man standing in front of her.

Under the faint candlelight, out of the corner of the girl's eyes, she caught a glimpse of the figure reflected in the bronze mirror. Looking up, she could only see a ghostly face.

"Master, what should I do next?" The girl quickly lowered her head, her tone becoming more respectful.

"Keep the child in Jiang Yin's womb, it will be of great use in the future." A rhythmic voice sounded in the girl's ear, and it seemed to hit her heart again and again, and it seemed to be the only sound in this dark night.

"My servant has always been curious about how the child in Jiang Yin's belly has been protected so far?" The girl was a little puzzled, but she didn't dare to look up, so she could only bury her head lower.

"I have my own way."

Without giving the girl a chance to speak, the cold voice sounded again, "By the way, now that guy Gu Zhanheng is staying in your room day and night, you should find a way to give him some wind."

The girl nodded and said, "Your servant obeys."

"General Han is stationed in the north, which borders Nanyue. Gu Zhanheng is so smart and knows what to do."

The slender figure walked up to the girl and looked down at her with a slight coldness in his eyes.

The girl looked at the man and nodded, "Master, don't worry, this servant knows what to do."

He lifted the girl's chin and caressed her cheeks, but there was no wave of meaning in those eyes.

The girl was forced to look up at the person in front of her, and only then did she see that terrifying ghost face, especially those dark and deep pupils, which seemed to be able to foresee hell.

At that moment, the girl seemed to remember that Jiang Xi seemed to have shown such a terrifying look at a certain moment.

She clenched the hand hanging by her side and moved her throat, "What should Jiang Xi do?"

"Don't worry about her." The cold voice just now seemed to add a touch of tenderness when mentioning the name, "She's not something to be afraid of right now."

"Since there is nothing to be afraid of, why don't you get rid of her now..."

Before the girl finished speaking, she felt those hands grabbing her throat.

The feeling of suffocation made the girl's consciousness hazy, and she couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.

"Master..." the girl said with difficulty, "I'm sorry master, it's a servant who violated the rules."

"It's useful to keep Jiang Xi." The ghost-masked man let go of the girl after speaking.

"It's best for you to be liked by Jiang Xi." The ghost-masked man said and patted the girl's head, "Didn't you ever sin against Jiang Xi before? Why don't you take this opportunity to take the initiative to join Jiang Xi, what do you think?"

The ghost-masked man raised his hand and gently wiped away the unshed tears from the corners of the girl's eyes, "What Jiang Xi needs most now is the eyeliner at Gu Zhanheng's house."

The girl panted slightly, looked at the ghost-masked man and nodded, "Master, don't worry, I know what to do? I will never let the master down!"

The ghost-masked man gently patted the girl's cheek, and when he raised his hand, he saw a tiny red worm crawling into the girl's fair neck.

"Master." The girl looked up at the ghost-faced man with some pain, "but what did the servant do wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with it." The ghost-masked man stood up and his tone returned to his previous cool look.

"Don't worry, this stuff will do you a lot of good."

Glancing at the girl, the ghost-faced man said, "It can guarantee that you will become more and more beautiful."

The girl looked happy and kowtowed to thank the ghost-masked man, but she didn't see the mocking flash in the ghost-masked man's eyes.

A gust of wind blew by, and the girl looked up, but there was no ghost-faced figure, as if everything just now was just a dream.

She stood up and walked to the vanity mirror, glanced at the figure in the bronze mirror, a smile slowly formed on her lips.

"Master, just now the guards next to His Highness said that His Highness is still coming to the Master's room tonight." There was a bit of joy in the falling voice outside the door.

Hearing this, Lianqiao simply cleaned up her makeup and opened the door.

She looked at Luo Qiao in front of her with a smile and said, "Then hurry up and prepare some supper, so as not to be hungry when His Highness comes over."

"Young maidservant is going now." Luo Qiao hurriedly ordered to prepare supper as she spoke.

Since the queen's birthday banquet, Gu Zhanheng stayed in her room every day, and did not even look at Jiang Yin. Even if Jiang Yin's maid came to intercept her, Gu Zhanheng did not go to visit, but only told her to raise the baby.

When Gu Zhanheng arrived, Lianqiao was happily visiting the bowls and chopsticks. When she saw Gu Zhanheng's figure, she held up her skirt and greeted him with a smile from the corner of her eyes.

"Your Highness, you are here." Feeling the warmth from her palm, Lian Qiao smiled at him.

"I'm a little tired today." Gu Zhanheng lowered his voice unknowingly, "I still feel more comfortable here."

"If Your Highness is tired, drink some nourishing soup. This is made by my own hands." Lian Qiao said and handed the small bowl to Gu Zhanheng.

Gu Zhanheng took a sip and thought it tasted good, and he looked at Lianqiao with a relaxed look.

"It tastes good."

"Your Highness, drink more." Lian Qiao said and put a dish on the plate, "Every dish is made by myself."

"You used to be born as a slave at any time, but now you are my concubine, so naturally you don't have to do these things." Gu Zhanheng put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, "After a while, when my father's anger subsides, I will promote you to be a side concubine and sit on an equal footing with Jiang Yin."

Lian Qiao raised the corners of her lips secretly, but her face revealed a look of distress, "Your Highness, how can I be able to sit on an equal footing with my sister, I am nothing more than a slave."

She sniffed as she spoke, "I am already very satisfied with being favored by His Highness in my life, so how can I care about these things?"

She raised her hand to caress Gu Zhanheng's cheek, and said in a low voice, "It's a concubine's blessing to be by His Highness's side in this life, so how can I expect anything else?"

Woohoo, I feel very uncomfortable, please forgive me, I will update a little more when I feel better.
