"Have you ever thought about how worried my family and I would be after the incident in Prince Qi's Mansion?" Zuo Xiangning said coldly: "Are you really so busy that you haven't had time to see me for many days in a row? ?”

"With me here, what do you have to worry about?" Ling Xiao let go of the stiff woman in his arms and said with a smile, "I will protect you and your family."

Zuo Xiangning's eyes flickered.

She had thought about it a lot these days, but she never thought that Ling Xiao would protect the Zuo family for her.

In her heart, she didn't really trust him?Didn't you regard him as your support?
"You don't believe me, do you?" Ling Xiao tilted his head and looked at her with a smile, "You said you believe me."

"Ling Xiao, do you think we are really suitable?" Zuo Xiangning stood up from him, touched the mark carved with a dagger on the table with her fingers, and looked at him, "I thought I was confident that I could be quiet I have to wait. But in fact, I overestimated myself, and I’m afraid I can’t wait any longer.”

"Can't wait?" Ling Xiao repeated these words, "What do you mean?"

"I don't think we are suitable for each other." Zuo Xiangning said softly: "Li Wenji comes from a distinguished family. She and you are childhood sweethearts, and they are of the same family. If you are together, you will have less trouble for each other. Moreover, your current marriage has the emperor's approval. Enzhun, it’s already very difficult to change it again, so let’s just let nature take its course.”

"Is this what you're saying?" Ling Xiao's expression changed slightly.

The emperor did promise a marriage to the wise king, but he didn't expect Zuo Xiangning to get the news so quickly.

Zuo Xiangning poured two cups of tea, sent one to him, and picked up the other herself.

With a smile on her face, she said, "It is fate that you and I met each other. Today I will drink tea instead of wine and wish you all the best in life."

Ling Xiao picked up the cup of tea and looked at her carefully, "If you have any dissatisfaction or confusion, you can tell me directly and don't act like a child."

"I really think so in my heart." Zuo Xiangning drank all the tea in the cup, "I will let Bingyun and Bingyu go back tomorrow."

"Pa" The cup in Ling Xiao's hand broke into pieces, and the tea splashed everywhere.

Zuo Xiangning was startled.

She jumped a step to the side and watched the man stand up and walk out with his hands behind his back.

Zuo Xiangning reached out and touched the blood on the tea cup fragments, feeling a pain in her heart.

Did he just leave?

Didn't explain to her or coax her any more?
But in her heart, she really believed that Li Wenji was his best choice.

There have been so many changes in this life from the previous life.

Now that the emperor is still alive, but King Qi is going to be accused of treason, who knows what will happen to King Chu in the future?

The Zuo family was in this whirlpool and had no way to escape or avoid it. There was no need for her to drag him into the water again.

What's more, there are the fifth prince, Li Shaonan, and the second prince. These are all her troubles, and she doesn't want to get him into it.

But she couldn't suppress her heartache.

The next morning, Zhang Rui quietly entered the mansion and told Zuo Xiangning that King Qi had been imprisoned in the sky prison.

Two days later, the emperor issued a decree and King Qi was demoted to Ninggu Pagoda.

Three days later, someone came to deliver a letter to Zuo Xiangning, saying that Zuo Xiangyun wanted to see her.

Zuo Xiangning held the letter and felt quite complicated.

She knew that it must be extremely difficult for Zuo Xiangyun to hand over this letter.

But what she didn't understand was, why did she want to see herself?
She had no one to discuss with, and when she was feeling hesitant, Li Shaonan came.

"The Emperor has not told anyone about King Qi's rebellion, nor has he punished your Zuo family. Just treat it as ignorant." Li Shaonan said: "We just went to see your concubine, and no one can tell us anything wrong. I will accompany you tomorrow. You go." "No, I'll go by myself." Zuo Xiangning didn't want to owe Li Shaonan too many favors.

"I'll wait for you at the east corner gate of your house tomorrow morning." Li Shaonan made an agreement with her as if he couldn't hear her.

The next morning, Zuo Xiangning walked out of the Dongjiao Gate and saw Li Shaonan sitting in their carriage waiting for her.

"Hurry up, I will take you to eat delicious food at noon." Li Shaonan waved to her, "Why are you still standing there?"

Zuo Xiangning was afraid of disturbing the people in Zuo Mansion, so she got on the carriage.

Arriving at the main entrance of Prince Qi's Mansion, Zuo Xiangning saw the skinny Zuo Xiangyun under the guard of the imperial guards.

When Zuo Xiangning was young, she lived with Zuo Xiangyun for more than two years. Zuo Xiangyun always took care of her, whether it was false or pretentious.

"Second sister." Zuo Xiangning stepped forward and held her hand, put a purse into her hand, and whispered: "There are 1000 taels of silver notes here. Keep them and keep them on the way out of Beijing. use."

Zuo Xiangyun's fingers holding her purse trembled slightly, the corners of her lips trembled slightly, and after a long time she choked and said: "Fourth sister, it was me who was not good in the past, I am sorry for you."

"Don't mention the past anymore." Zuo Xiangning sighed softly, "We are going to Ninggu Pagoda. The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous. You need to take care of yourself. If possible, I will find a way to send it to you every year. A few cents of silver."

"Fool, I went with King Qi, so I wouldn't be in such a state of despair." Zuo Xiangyun took out a purse from her arms and handed it to her along with Zuo Xiangning's purse, "I gave this to you. "

"I……"

Zuo Xiangyun didn't wait for Zuo Xiangning to speak, stretched out her hand to hold her in her arms, and said in her ear as low as a gnat: "There is an address in the wallet. Find her and give her the things."

Zuo Xiangning's eyes suddenly widened, and she opened her mouth to look at Zuo Xiangyun.

Zuo Xiangyun let go of her hand and smiled at Zuo Xiangning: "You are a good sister, take care of yourself."

Zuo Xiangning held the two purses tightly in her hands and watched Zuo Xiangyun turn back three times and step back into the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion.

Zuo Xiangning looked at the slowly closing door and burst into tears.

She turned and walked toward the carriage.

Li Shaonan looked at Zuo Xiangning with red eyes, stretched out his hand to help her get into the carriage, and he also got into the carriage with him.

"Aren't you and this concubine not getting along well?"

"She and I grew up together." Zuo Xiangning only said this softly.

"Okay, don't cry. I'll take you to eat something delicious." Li Shaonan coaxed, "What else do you want? I'll buy it for you."

"I want to go home." Zuo Xiangning was not in the mood to eat anything. She whispered: "I ran away secretly. If the elders in the family find out, they will be anxious."

"Then you go back first, and I'll buy you some delicious food and deliver it to you later."

Zuo Xiangning felt quite unbearable when she looked at Li Shaonan who did everything according to her.

If Li Shaonan hadn't taken care of the Imperial Guards in advance today, Zuo Xiangning might not have had the chance to meet Zuo Xiangyun.

"Thank you Mr. Li for accompanying me today." Zuo Xiangning saluted him, "Xiang Ning would like to thank you."

"Are you trying to draw a clear line with me?" Li Shaonan raised his eyebrows, but then smiled and said: "But don't even think about it! You have now passed the clear path in our Li family, my mother, my sister, and even my eldest brother , have already begun to prepare for your marriage, and you have no way to escape now. Moreover, I have to tell you that if you don’t marry me, then you will probably have to live in the Prince of Chu’s Mansion. I think, in comparison, Next, you don’t want to enter Prince Chu’s Mansion, right?”

Zuo Xiangning looked at the careless Li Shaonan in surprise. She didn't expect that he knew everything!
