The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 15 Save Another Life

"Uncle, this map is too old and difficult to identify." A man said timidly.

"Someone has bought this mountain now. You must confirm for me immediately whether it is this mountain!" Gu Zhiqing shouted in a stern voice: "There must be results today!"

In this deserted place, Zuo Xiangning could not help but tremble slightly when she heard Gu Zhiqing's angry voice.

She was afraid from the bottom of her heart to meet Gu Zhiqing alone.

The sound of shoes stepping hard on dead branches gradually grew closer.

She huddled up and wanted to plunge herself into the bushes nearby.

Just as the footsteps were about to reach her, there was a crisp "click" sound not far away. Gu Zhiqing yelled "Who?", and then the footsteps ran in the other direction.

Zuo Xiangning hurriedly turned around and ran down the mountain. In panic, her foot slipped and she fell to the ground, sliding down the hillside.

Zuo Xiangning bit her lower lip tightly, grabbed the weeds sliding by her with all her strength, and looked down at the six or seven meter high cliff below, dumbfounded.

She looked at the grass in her hand being broken one by one, and she was having a battle between man and god in her heart.

If she shouted for help, Gu Zhiqing might become her savior, so she would rather fall... But if she really fell to her death, what would happen to her family members who had not yet had time to save her?
While she was still hesitating, the weeds in her hands could no longer bear her weight, and she fell towards the bottom of the mountain.

A black shadow flew over her head. The moment she landed, a strong big hand hugged her waist. Her whole body was hugged and she landed lightly on the ground.

"Let me go!" Zuo Xiangning thought it was Gu Zhiqing. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she pushed the man beside her away hard. She backed away a few steps tremblingly and stared at the man opposite in shock.

"How...why, is it you?" She looked at the man opposite him who was wearing a black outfit and had sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and her almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise.

The man gave a cold "hum" and patted the dust on his black clothes, "Who do you think you are?"

What he had seen clearly from the side just now was that he had been waiting for her to call for help.

But she gritted her teeth and remained silent.

Thinking of her scared look hiding in the bushes and her trembling body when he rescued her, he asked, "Are you afraid of Gu Zhiqing?"

Zuo Xiangning stared at her black and white apricot eyes in surprise, "You..."

She pursed her lips tightly and stopped the words "how do you know" in time.

"Why are you afraid of him?" Ling Xiaofeng narrowed her eyes slightly, "Has he also entered your room?"

"No!" Zuo Xiangning hurriedly denied.

The man looked at her doubtfully, pointed to a mountain next to him, and said: "I will be responsible for finding a spring for you on that mountain, and then building you a three-story courtyard in exchange for your mountain that has not yet found a spring. ,How about it?"

"I don't dare to take advantage of the prince." Zuo Xiangning took a deep breath and calmed down completely. "I think this mountain is the highest and has the best view."

Ling Xiao slowly approached her with his hands behind his back, "I saved you twice in total, once to save your reputation, and once to save your life. I don't know that these two life-saving graces, plus the man opposite me, Is a mountain enough to replace it?”

Zuo Xiangning's face turned slightly red.

If you don't say enough, wouldn't you become a shameless villain who knows your kindness but doesn't repay it?
"The Crown Prince is an upright and aboveboard gentleman, how could he do such a thing of extorting favors and buying and selling by force?" Zuo Xiangning said as she stepped back, preparing to run southwest along the river, "The Crown Prince is still Stop joking..."

The man moved his feet slightly and stood in front of Zuo Xiangning. He looked down at her and said, "I'm not kidding you. I will go to Zuo Mansion to sign the transfer contract with you tomorrow morning."

Zuo Xiangning has now discovered that there is gold in this mountain, how can she let it go again?
This mountain will be her eldest sister's confidence in the Chu Palace in the future, and the guarantee for her and her third brother to live a happy life. "Thank you very much for the prince's life-saving grace today. Since ancient times, I have never said thank you for my kindness. I wish the prince a long life and all the best." After Zuo Xiangning finished speaking, she gave a big gift to Ling Xiao, turned around and ran away quickly. go.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her holding up her loose clothes and her tight short legs as if she was about to fly.

It’s just such a little girl, she looks like she’s been spoiled by her family and she can’t possibly know what’s going on in the mountains!
Zuo Xiangning ran to the foot of the mountain and waved to Panxia on the platform, "Come down!"

"Okay!" Panxia agreed and ran down the mountain.

"Slow down." Zuo Xiangning thought of the thin-soled cloth shoes on Panxia's feet and secretly blamed herself for being careless.

She first glanced to the east and felt slightly reassured when she saw that Ling Xiao was not chasing him.

She turned around and walked to the river not far away, squatted on the rocks, and washed her hands of the scratched wounds.

Schools of small fish swam in the river, and she couldn't help but reach out to catch them.

It's a good place with mountains and water. If she doesn't get married in the future, it would be good to live here all the time.

She heard a noise behind her, turned around with a smile, and said, "You came down very quickly..."

Zuo Xiangning thought it was Panxia, ​​but the person she met was Gu Zhiqing, who was wearing a white gown.

His big eyes, as deep as an ancient pool, stared at her, like a bottomless quagmire, which made her feel cold in her heart.

Her feet couldn't help but move back.

"Miss Zuo, be careful!" Gu Zhiqing saw that she had retreated into the water and hurriedly reached out to help her.

Zuo Xiangning saw that the hand stretched out to her was a bit prettier than a woman's.

She immediately thought of a familiar scene in her previous life, where these same hands reached out to her again and again, grabbing her, leaving her humiliated and unable to escape.

Fear instantly occupied her entire mind, and she seemed to have returned to her previous life, to that hellish day.

"No!" Zuo Xiangning's eyes were red, and she shook her head vigorously. She stepped back faster, slipped under her feet, and fell into the water.

"What's wrong with Miss Zuo?" Gu Zhiqing was also startled by her, but he didn't dare to go any further.

What's going on with the fourth girl from the Zuo family?
Are you that scary?

"No! I won't go back with you! Don't come close to me!" Zuo Xiangning's mind was completely confused, and she couldn't tell what was true and what was false.

Gu Zhiqing frowned secretly. Could it be that she had some hidden disease like epilepsy?

"What are you doing, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Zhiqing turned around and saw Ling Xiao walking towards them with his hands behind his back. He shouted in surprise: "Master?"

Ling Xiao looked past him and landed on the woman who fell into the river.

She seemed to have been stimulated by something, her face was as white as paper, and her big black and white eyes were full of panic and helplessness.

What did Gu Zhiqing do to her?
