Chapter 121
"Second brother." Zuo Xiangning was a little afraid of seeing Zuo Ziteng now.

"Are Princess Chu, mother and son okay?" Zuo Ziteng asked with concern.

"It's good." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "Brother Hong can open his eyes today... By the way, eldest sister said, our family members can all call us Brother Hong."

"When I get a chance, I'll go see Brother Hong as well." Zuo Ziteng twitched the corner of his mouth.

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then said: "Xiang Ning, I have something to ask you."

"Second brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me." Zuo Xiangning's hair was a little numb, and she could guess what Zuo Ziteng was going to say.

"Let Dr. Liu think of another way to see if there is any way to save my aunt..." Tears shone in the corners of Zuo Ziteng's eyes.

Zuo Xiangning agreed: "I'll ask someone to ask again later.

"Thank you, fourth sister." Zuo Ziteng stood up and bowed deeply to Zuo Xiangning. Before Zuo Xiangning could reach out to help him, he turned around and left Xianglanzhai quickly.

Zuo Xiangning looked at his back and sighed.

How great would it be if Aunt Liu could be a concubine honestly?
The next day, Doctor Liu went into the house and took Aunt Liu's pulse again, but the diagnosis result was the same as before.

Zuo Xiangning almost didn't dare to look into Zuo Ziteng's eyes.

Zuo Ziteng smiled bitterly at her, "You don't have to feel guilty. This matter has nothing to do with you. You have done your best."

Zuo Xiangning didn't dare to say a word, and she didn't leave the house for a whole day after returning to Xianglanzhai.

At night, Zuo Xiangning felt someone touching her face while she was sleeping. The hair on her body tightened, and she suddenly opened her eyes and saw the man in black sitting beside the bed.

"Why are you here?" Zuo Xiangning sat up holding the quilt, looked at the man in front of her, and pursed her lips in grievance, "Where have you been? What are you busy with?"

"I had something to do in Cangzhou, so I came back a few days late." Ling Xiao looked at her face and asked softly, "Did you not eat well? Why have you lost weight again?"

"Have you finished your work?" Zuo Xiangning shook her head slightly, looked at him, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

"I'm going to do errands, not fight." Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, wrapped her in the quilt, and held her tightly in his arms.

Zuo Xiangning leaned her face against his chest, and suddenly realized that she had nothing to say to him.

She couldn't ask him what he had done, nor could she ask about their future.

Because she didn't want to force him, and she always felt in her heart that she and he could not see each other now.

If they are discovered by others, they will become the targets of thousands of people.

"Why don't you speak?" The man noticed her silence.

"When did you come back?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

"We entered the city in the afternoon." Ling Xiao stroked her long hair, "Have you gone out to see the lights on the fifteenth?"

"No." Zuo Xiangning shook her head, "My eldest sister was born on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

"Is the child growing well?" Ling Xiao asked, "The King of Chu must be very happy, right?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu was very happy and rewarded me with a gemstone hairpin and 1000 taels of silver notes." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile, "Brother Hong is really funny. His little feet are not that big. They are not as long as mine and my fingers. That little arm is only as thick as two of my fingers, and those little fingers are thin and soft, but they are particularly strong when they hold my fingers."

"Really?" Ling Xiao had a faint smile on his face.He thought of his biological second brother. When his second brother was born, he was already 16 years old. At that time, he also liked his strange second brother very much and had to coax him to play for a while every day...

"When you see it, you will know how cute he is." Zuo Xiangning got out of bed with a smile and picked up the half-embroidered red bellyband next to her. "Look, this is the magpie branch I embroidered for him."

Ling Xiao touched the exquisite pattern and asked, "Did you throw away the clothes you made for me before? I only wore them once."

Zuo Xiangning glared at him shyly and took out two pieces of clothes from the bottom of the wardrobe.

"I washed the one I made before, and the other one is new. Can you try it and see if it fits?"

"It's so beautiful." Ling Xiao picked up the clothes and looked at them again and again, as if he couldn't put them down. However, he didn't pick them up to try them on, but slowly folded them again, "I'll put them here for you first. I'll wait a little later." I'll wear it someday."

"You don't have to be so reluctant. In the worst case, I'll make it for you again." Zuo Xiangning looked at him with a smile, "It's just that I don't know if every piece of clothing has to be embroidered with that pattern?"

"No need." Ling Xiao touched the pattern, "You don't need to embroider it in the future, just embroider whatever pattern you think looks good."

"I was still thinking today that if I just embroidered a simple auspicious cloud pattern, it would look pretty good." Zuo Xiangning opened her clothes and measured them on his body, "Why don't you try it now? If anything doesn't fit. , I can also correct it for you tomorrow."

"I was so anxious when I came back today that I didn't even have time to take a shower. I'll try again when I come to see you in two days." Ling Sang touched her hair, "I still have some things to deal with, so I won't do it today. Stay a little longer, and I’ll come see you when I’m done.”

Zuo Xiangning didn't expect that Ling Xiao, whom she hadn't seen for so many days, would stay for just such a moment.

She was stunned for a moment and said a dull "hmm".

"Xiang Ning." Ling Xiao reached out and lifted Zuo Xiang Ning's small chin.

"Huh?" Zuo Xiangning looked up at him and smiled, "Go about your business and pay attention to your safety."

Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "If there are any rumors about me in the past two days, don't take it to heart."

"What kind of rumors?" Zuo Xiangning felt vaguely bad in her heart.

"I'm just saying what if." Ling Xiao smiled and pinched her chin, "When I finish what I'm doing, I will dissolve your marriage with the Gu family."

"Don't be in a hurry." Zuo Xiangning thought of the fifth prince and said with some distress: "If you don't care about the family's marriage, just leave it there for now. After delaying him for a year or two, maybe we don't have to do anything, and the Gu family should worry about it. ”

"I'm not in the mood to care whether he is in a hurry or not, but I am very anxious." Ling Xiao hugged Zuo Xiangning, "If possible, I wish I could marry you right now."

Zuo Xiangning smelled the faint scent of soap on his body, and the raised corners of her lips slowly returned to their original positions.

She stretched out her hand and pushed him away gently, "Don't you still have something to do? Go quickly!"

Ling Xiao looked at her deeply and said, "Go out less often. No matter where you go, take Bingyun and Bingyu with you."

"I know." Zuo Xiangning smiled and wanted to send him to the door.

But he was pushed back to the bed by Ling Xiao, "If you send me away, how can I get out? Just lie down on the bed and be obedient."

Zuo Xiangning took his hand and said to him warmly: "You don't have to worry about me. No matter what rumors are out there, I won't believe them. I only believe what you tell me yourself."

Zuo Xiangning said it with all her heart.

She thought she could do what she said, but there were some things that you only knew how difficult it was to do when it happened.
