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

Zuo Xiangning arrived at the eldest princess's mansion. Before she reached the Chuihua Gate, she saw the eldest princess and a bunch of girls and women came out to greet her.

"Where have you been?" The eldest princess pulled Zuo Xiangning up, who was about to pay her respects, and said with tears in the corners of her eyes: "I sent out so many people, but why can't I find you?"

Zuo Xiangning was slightly startled, wasn't the eldest princess too enthusiastic?

"Have you looked for me?"

"Yes, the people I sent out always came back with news, saying that they had found you, but then nothing happened. They repeated it several times, which made me very anxious." The eldest princess pulled Zuo Xiangning in. He sent all the servants out of the room, leaving only an old nun waiting for tea.

"Where did you go? Why was there no news later? Why did you return to the capital quietly now?" the eldest princess asked with concern.

Zuo Xiangning thought that Ling Xiao had said before that there was a group of people who seemed to come from the palace. Could it be someone sent by the eldest princess?

"Someone wants to kill me." Zuo Xiangning looked at the eldest princess, "I had no choice but to disguise myself and go back to Beijing. I just want to see who wants to kill me and why?"

"Someone wants to kill you?" The eldest princess's eyes widened in surprise, "Who is it?"

Zuo Xiangning saw that her expression didn't look like she was faking it, and she wanted to say Gu Zhiqing's name, but after thinking about it for a moment, she decided not to say it.

After all, they are mother and son. How can she be a goddaughter?

Do you still want to count on the eldest princess to make the decision for you?

"What do you want from me?" Zuo Xiangning asked with a smile.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, the eldest princess guessed that there was something hidden inside, so she stopped asking, and asked eagerly: "I have something to ask you. I saw you wearing a jade pendant around your neck before. I I want to know where you got that jade pendant from?"

Zuo Xiangning looked at the eldest princess's fingers holding the handkerchief, the joints were glowing bluish white.

The nanny next to the eldest princess pursed her lips tightly, as if she was even more nervous than the eldest princess.

"I got that jade pendant accidentally. Since the eldest princess asked, I should tell the truth, but I don't know something. I wonder why the eldest princess is so interested in this jade pendant?" Zuo Xiangning was curious. asked.

The eldest princess looked at the innocent Zuo Xiangning, but she knew in her heart that she was smart. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a little concubine to reach this stage.

"Years ago, my mother gave me a pair of jade pendants like this. I have been looking for them for more than 20 years."

Zuo Xiangning was shocked by the eldest princess's words.

How did the eldest princess's jade pendant end up in Ling Xiao's hands?

Ling Xiao couldn't have stolen it, right?

But Ling Xiao gave it to her as a love token, so she must have valued this jade pendant very much.

Moreover, this jade pendant is a token that commands the entire Wufu Hall, and its origin cannot be unknown.

Looking at the eldest princess staring closely at her, Zuo Xiangning knew in her heart that if she said that Ling Xiao gave it to her now, she would have found an enemy for Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao came out of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and now he has finally been granted the title of Jingyuan Marquis. If the eldest princess troubles him at this time, can he still be a stable Marquis?

What's more, she couldn't explain why Ling Xiao's jade pendant hung around her neck.

"That jade pendant is made of fine mutton-fat jade, green and white with a little purple. I guess it was not given to you by your elders." The eldest princess asked again: "Can you tell me who gave it to you?"

"I got it accidentally." Zuo Xiangning covered her mouth and chuckled: "I saw it in a jewelry store and thought it looked good, so I bought it for fifty taels of silver. At that time, my eldest sister and my third brother gave it to each other. Give me twenty taels." Seeing that Zuo Xiangning was telling the truth, the eldest princess couldn't help but become suspicious.

"Then can you give this jade pendant to me as a gift?" The eldest princess said with a sad face: "This is given to me by my mother and queen. As soon as I see it, I will think of my mother and queen. "

When Zuo Xiangning heard that the eldest princess changed her name from "I" to "this palace", she knew that the eldest princess was planning to use her identity to suppress her.

"Logically speaking, no matter whether this jade pendant belongs to you or not, as long as you ask, I have to give it to you, but..." Zuo Xiangning smiled and wondered: "But this time I left Beijing, someone wanted to kill him with an arrow. I, thanks to this jade pendant, saved my life. I made a wish at Qingquan Temple and asked the eminent monk to consecrate it. The eminent monk said that it is destined to me, it is equivalent to my amulet, and it is closely related to my life. I can..."

Zuo Xiangning said that it was tied to her own life. Asking for this jade pendant was equivalent to asking for Zuo Xiangning's life. How could the eldest princess ask for it again?

The eldest princess's face changed several times, and finally she said: "Then can you let me take a look again?"

Zuo Xiangning took out the jade pendant from her clothes. The eldest princess took it with a handkerchief and looked at it over and over for a long time before reluctantly returning it to Zuo Xiangning.

"Xiang Ning, although we don't have the relationship between mother and daughter, we still have the title of mother and daughter. This jade pendant is very important to me. If you think of anything, or find out the whereabouts of another jade pendant, you must Tell me."

Zuo Xiangning nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, if I know anything, I will tell you immediately."

Zuo Xiangning politely declined the eldest princess's offer of food and led others out. When she was about to get on the carriage in the front yard, she saw Gu Zhiqing.

Gu Zhiqing used to be a well-mannered and elegant young man, but now he is dressed in black and his face is blue and black. He seems to be a different person.

"Why don't you stay and have a meal before leaving?" Gu Zhiqing walked up to Zuo Xiangning and asked with a smile, "How can anyone still go out after dinner?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Gu. I have informed the eldest princess and will go back first." Zuo Xiangning didn't even bother to look at him, and raised her feet to get on the carriage.

Gu Zhiqing stretched out a hand to grab Zuo Xiangning.

Bingyu quickly held his arm with quick eyes and hands.

Gu Zhiqing was stunned, glanced at Bingyu, looked at Zuo Xiangning, and said with a smile: "I want to treat Miss Zuo to a meal. I wonder if Miss Zuo is willing to give me a favor?"

Zuo Xiangning took back her step to the car, turned around and looked at Gu Zhiqing and said, "Master Gu, do you want to give me a Hongmen Banquet?"

"How is that possible?" Gu Zhiqing said with a smile: "The fourth girl on the left is worrying too much. I'm just curious about what the fourth girl on the left has been doing during this time?"

"Are you curious why I wasn't killed by you?" Zuo Xiangning asked with a sneer: "I just can't figure it out. How did I provoke you to make you kill me so painfully?"

Gu Zhiqing was stunned and frowned: "Who did you listen to? How could I kill you?"

"Whether you have ever done such a thing, you know best." Zuo Xiangning looked at his dark face with bright eyes, "I don't know where you got all your money. Does the eldest princess know you?" Doing these unscrupulous things? Moreover, I have to kindly remind you that the emperor is my brother-in-law now, so you'd better think carefully about anything you do."

"I wholeheartedly want to marry you, how could I harm you?" Gu Zhiqing took a small step closer to Zuo Xiangning and lowered his voice: "Now that your engagement has been canceled and you have returned to Beijing, why don't you still marry me? "

"I can't afford your love." Zuo Xiangning raised her lower lip and asked as if she suddenly remembered: "By the way, do you know that the eldest princess also sent many people to look for me? It's just that those people have gone without return. Tell me, if the eldest princess knew that those people were killed by your people, how would you think the eldest princess would feel?"

Gu Zhiqing's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
