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

Chapter 23
"Why did you come?"

The gloomy voice blew into his ears without warning, and even Ling Xiao, who had experienced hundreds of battles, was frightened as if he had been struck by lightning.

Zuo Xiangning was always worried that Ling Xiao would come and couldn't sleep well.

As long as there was the slightest noise outside, she would sit up immediately.

But she got up twice and found that no one came in.

When there was a very light sound outside for the third time, she sat up from the bed in a daze, but did not open her eyes.

It wasn't until most of Ling Xiao's body was inserted into the bed curtain that she squinted her eyes and said impatiently: "Why did you come here?"

Ling Xiao turned his head and looked at his big eyes, which were only two inches away from him, and said angrily: "You are up in the middle of the night, so why are you sitting here practicing?"

"I still want to ask you, why can't you wake me up? Why do you have to secretly lift my bed curtain? Who do you want to scare to death?" Zuo Xiangning rubbed her eyes dissatisfied.

Ling Xiao turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, "Why don't you leave a light in the room?"

"I can't sleep because of the light." Zuo Xiangning glanced at the man sitting motionless by the bed.

He thought: Does this man know the difference between men and women?Is this woman's bed something he can sit on casually?

But then I thought again, didn't I make a fuss when he entered his room in the middle of the night?

Maybe he was just casual and didn't pay attention to these little details.

Zuo Xiangning got out of bed from the other side and lit the candle in front of the window.

She walked behind the screen, put on her coat, picked up a hairpin and put her hair into a bun, then walked out again, "I have something to do today and didn't go to Mingyue Mountain. You weren't waiting for me there, were you?"

He waited all day!
Ling Xiao glared at her angrily without saying a word.

If he said that he had been waiting there stupidly all day, then he would definitely look like a fool in her eyes.

"Are you waiting for me there?" Zuo Xiangning saw that his face was sullen, as if he was very angry, and his attitude couldn't help but become a little gentler.

"I think you don't care about that mountain. If you don't want it, then I'll just let it go." Ling Xiao stood up, walked to Zuo Xiangning, and looked at her condescendingly, "I also have a lot of things to be busy with. Not an idle person with nothing to do.”

"I really have something to do today." Zuo Xiangning didn't want to offend the superior man in front of her, so she explained apologetically: "I heard that there was a store on East Street selling money today, so I took a look."

The man was really angry before he came, but when he saw her looking at him cautiously with her watery almond eyes, he felt a little sympathy for her.

She is a little girl in her teens, but she has to save money and plan for the future. It can be seen that her life in Zuofu is not as good as it seems.

"Were they bad to you?"

"Who?" Zuo Xiangning didn't react for a moment and asked blankly.

"Your aunt treats you badly? Doesn't she prepare a dowry for you?"

"How is that possible?" Zuo Xiangning thought it was because she concealed the money, so she smiled and said, "They are very good to me."

"Placing you in this most remote courtyard shows their attitude towards you." Ling Xiao looked around at the furnishings in the room. Although there were many flowers, there were not many precious things.

"I want to live here myself." Zuo Xiangning said, "I like peace and quiet."

How can you be quiet next to someone else's garden?

Ling Xiao didn't believe a word of what she said.

He touched his arms for a long time and only found two broken pieces of silver.

Zuo Xiangning looked at his hand stroking around in his arms. After waiting for a long time, she saw him coming out with empty hands and touching nothing.

"What did you lose?" Zuo Xiangning asked with concern.

"No." Ling Xiao coughed slightly in embarrassment and said, "I will pick you up at midnight tomorrow to take you to Mingyue Mountain."

"I have something to do tomorrow morning." Zuo Xiangning discussed, "Can you do it in the afternoon?" "What do you have to do every day?" Ling Xiao said in an all-round way: "You are a boudoir girl. You do nothing but paint and play the piano every day. , What else is there to do? Where do you want to buy a store? I will buy it for you."

"No, I have a very capable companion, and I just want to train him." Zuo Xiangning declined his kindness and said with a smile: "You have already helped me a lot, if you owe me any more, I'm afraid I will really I can’t afford it.”

Ling Xiao looked at her expression, "I didn't ask you to pay it back, what do you have to worry about?"

"I don't want to owe anyone else." Zuo Xiangning poured him a cup of tea and brought him a plate of snacks, "Would you like to try it?"

Ling Xiao had been angry all day and really didn't eat much at night.

He picked up a piece of snack, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and frowned.

Zuo Xiangning had already eaten a piece. She looked at the man who had only taken one bite and asked, "Isn't it delicious?"

"Are all the snacks in your house so sweet, or are they just for you?" Ling Xiao's face changed slightly, looking at her chubby body, "Is it intentional to give you such sweet things? Make you well!”

"I love sweets." Zuo Xiangning turned around and brought him another plate of dried meat and said with a smile, "My family is kind to me."

Ling Xiao didn't believe her words at all.

"I'll wait for you at the door of your house before tomorrow." Ling Xiao stood up, glanced at her body with a dark look, and said, "It's better to eat less."

Zuo Xiangning rolled her eyes at him. Was he talking about how fat she was?
I didn’t eat his rice.

Zuo Xiangning watched him leave before going back to bed. This time she slept very soundly.

The next morning, Zhang Rui was waiting outside early.

"The neighbors of the house are all officials from the Sixth Ministry. The owner of the house is surnamed Du and his ancestral home is Jinling. The year before last, the youngest son of the Du family was forced to go to Beijing to take the exam, but he had no intention of taking the imperial examination. When he arrived in the capital, he did not study, but bought the The small house where he was studying was renovated, and he wanted to recruit actors and open a teahouse. The old lady in the family was so angry that she had the youngest son taken back from the capital, leaving the manager behind and asked the house to be disposed of at a low price. If it goes away, the neighbors on the left and right of the house have agreed to provide guarantees."

Zuo Xiangning nodded, took Zhang Rui out of Zuo Mansion, and went straight to the restaurant where they were yesterday.

Xiao Wu is still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, but his face is clean and he looks more childlike than in his previous life.

He huddled in the corner beside the steps of the hotel entrance, looking at the passers-by on the road with vacant eyes.

Zuo Xiangning felt slightly sour, this look was so familiar to her.

In her previous life, she looked at people on the street through the crack in the door, which must have been the same way.

As soon as she got off the car, Xiao Wu ran up to her, raised his head and said in surprise: "Sir, you are here!"

Zuo Xiangning touched his head and asked Zhang Rui, who was following him, to go to the pharmacy not far away to ask for a doctor.

"Are you looking for a doctor for my dad?" Xiao Wu said hurriedly: "My dad knows how to treat doctors himself."

"Then why didn't he show it to himself?" Zuo Xiangning never asked about Xiao Wu's life experience in her previous life.

"We were robbed by thieves on the way to the capital. We have no money to buy medicine." Xiao Wu said: "My father has very good medical skills. As long as his injuries are cured, many people will come to see him for treatment."

"Then let's find a doctor to cure your father's illness first, and then let him treat others." Zuo Xiangning took Xiao Wu to the door of the nearby bun shop and bought him four drawers of buns.

Xiao Wu's face immediately showed a bright smile.

Zuo Xiangning took Zhang Rui and the doctor, followed Xiao Wu along Shimenzi Hutong, and met Xiao Wu's father in the woodshed of a small courtyard in the innermost courtyard.

The first time Zuo Xiangning saw this man, she felt he looked familiar.

He was in his 30s, sitting on a tattered quilt. Although the clothes on his body were shabby, they were washed very clean, and his hair was combed straight. At first glance, he looked like a frail scholar.

Hearing Xiao Wu say that the young master who helped him came over yesterday, he hurriedly raised his hands to Zuo Xiangning and said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Liu Qian. I can't thank you enough."

Zuo Xiangning's head exploded with a buzzing sound.

Liu Qian?

The person in front of me turned out to be Liu Qian!
Is it the miracle doctor Liu Qian who was named a miracle doctor by the emperor, but after the second prince succeeded to the throne, he was beheaded in public on the charge of being a spy? !
