Chapter 44

Zuo Xiangning stood there motionless and didn't speak, watching the figure enter the inner room.

The black figure walked to the bedside, opened the bed curtain, and saw that there was no one inside. He turned around and boldly lit the candle on the table, searched around the inner room again, and then left the inner room with a slightly panicked expression.

When he saw the woman wearing moon-white robes and trousers standing by the table, holding a tea cup and looking at him with a smile, he was stunned on the spot.

"What are you doing up late at night?" Ling Xiao glanced around the room, went back to the clothes rack in the back room, picked up one of her coats, and put it on Zuo Xiangning's body.

The movements were skillful and natural, as if they had been done countless times.

"You didn't sleep in the middle of the night, why did you come here?" Zuo Xiangning put on the sleeves of her clothes, not noticing the tight curve on her chest when she stretched her arms.

Ling Xiao forced his eyes away from the bulge.

He concealed himself and poured himself a cup of tea.

"When you can't sleep in the middle of the night, are you excited because you handled things well, or depressed because you handled things poorly?"

Zuo Xiangning smiled slightly and asked with a heavy heart: "Do you know that my second sister is pregnant?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Qi informed the Emperor about this matter today." Ling Xiao asked, "Is it difficult to deal with Aunt Liu because of this matter?"

"Since you dare to tell the emperor, it must be true." Zuo Xiangning nodded without any concealment, "I was pregnant more than a month earlier than my eldest sister."

Ling Xiao walked up to her and asked, "Is Princess Chu good to you?"

Zuo Xiangning looked up at him and said nothing.

But Ling Xiao knew in her heart that when she first met her at Prince Qi's Mansion, several girls from the Zuo family were there, but she was looking for her eldest sister.

"Even if she is pregnant, she doesn't know whether the child is a boy or a girl." Ling Xiao comforted.

"It was said that King Qi had someone look at him, and he was pregnant with a boy." Zuo Xiangning knew that Ling Xiao and King Chu were in the same group, and asked softly: "If King Qi has a son first, will there be any consequences for King Chu?" What impact?”

Ling Xiao did not answer her question, but said solemnly: "This is not something you can worry about. Don't say such things to anyone except me, including your family."

"I know." Zuo Xiangning nodded. "What do you want from me?"

"Your father has been found in Yangzhou, you don't have to worry..."

"My father has been found?" Zuo Xiangning's face lit up and she pulled his sleeve happily, "Is it true? How do you know?"

"Of course I have my own channels." Ling Xiao looked at her sparkling face with a smile on his lips. "Your father was found the day before yesterday. It will take a few days for your family to get the news."

He traveled more than 2000 miles from Yangzhou to Beijing and found his father the day before yesterday. Now he has received the news?
Although Zuo Xiangning was slightly surprised, she didn't ask anything.

Ling Xiao will be a Marquis in the future, and his magical powers are naturally beyond what the Zuo family can match.

But thinking about the future, she couldn't help but think about the second young master of the Ling family asking for a title in her previous life.

"What I told you is true." Ling Xiao saw that her expression was wrong, so he bent down, looked into her eyes, and asked with a smile, "You don't believe it?"

"I believe it." Zuo Xiangning looked into the man's phoenix eyes and said with gratitude, "Thank you."

After she was reborn, he was the person who helped her the most.

Without him, she didn't know where she would be now.Especially when I think about the possibility that he will...

"Is there anything you have that I can help you with?" Zuo Xiangning also wanted to help him, otherwise she would always feel that she owed him too much and would feel uneasy.

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I really have something I can't find anyone to do."

"What's the matter?" Zuo Xiangning asked with a smile, "Is it within my power?"

"I want to make a regular dress, and it's not convenient for people to know. Can you help me make it?" Ling Xiao said: "The corners of the dress need to be embroidered with some special patterns."

"Okay, I can do it." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "My female worker is pretty good. If you have one, bring me one. If not, then you can draw one for me."

"Okay, I'll get you a sample tomorrow." Ling Xiao said with a smile: "You don't have to make it exactly the same as it, as long as it's roughly the same."

"Okay." Zuo Xiangning was very happy because she could help him, "What color material do you want? I'll see if I have it in my warehouse tomorrow."

"What color do you think I would look good on?" Ling Xiao asked.

"I think you look good in black." Zuo Xiangning looked at the clothes on his body and said, "But sky blue and stone blue should be good, how about crow green? I think you like dark colors. , I have a piece of crow-green material, black with purple-green light, I can make you a regular dress, it should look good."

"If someone asked you where this material went, what would you say?" Ling Xiao asked with a smile, looking at the interested and chatting little woman.

"The mountain man has his own clever plan." Zuo Xiangning had the urge to find the material and show it to him now, "That material is really good-looking."

"Okay, let's make it crow-blue." Ling Xiao nodded and said, "I'll leave first and come back tomorrow night."

"Why don't I have someone pick it up from wherever you put it tomorrow? Don't climb over the wall in the middle of the night. Even if you can fly over walls, it should be quite difficult, right?" Zuo Xiangning was a little curious, but also a little concerned. asked.

"Just think of it as practice." Ling Xiao said as he walked towards the door.

"If I start learning kung fu now, wouldn't it be a bit late?" Zuo Xiangning followed him.

"You want to learn kung fu?" Ling Xiao said with a smile: "If you can't get out of the door or step forward, what are you going to do to learn it?"

Zuo Xiangning thought of Gu Zhiqing and couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said: "I don't want to learn too much, I just want to learn some moves that can kill in one move."

"Killed with one move?" Ling Xiao thought of her abnormal behavior several times, and his eyes became more probing, "Is there someone plotting against you?"

"No...no." Zuo Xiangning shook her head, but didn't dare to look at Ling Xiao, "I'm afraid that if I encounter a bad guy, I can fight him."

"Don't go out alone in the future. Even if you dress up as a man, people can still recognize you as a woman. Don't go to places with few people..." Ling Xiao said: "I think you are doing well recently. Every day Staying at home, doing embroidery and writing, this is what a serious girl should do."

"You mean, if a girl doesn't stay at home every day, she's not serious?" Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows.

"How could I have that intention?" Ling Xiao explained with a smile: "Otherwise, I will help you find someone who knows some kung fu to send it over in a few days."

"I don't want it." Zuo Xiangning shook his head like a rattle, "Our family is only this big. If a martial artist comes, wouldn't our house become his back garden? And a martial artist What’s the point of having a man hanging around me every day?”

"You are really a bit stupid!" Ling Xiao couldn't help raising his hand and tapping her forehead, "Will I place a man next to you?"

Zuo Xiangning raised her head and looked at the smiling man so close to her. She suddenly thought, they broke up on bad terms before, so why are they so close now?
And it was almost as natural as when she was with her third brother.

"Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered something," Zuo Xiangning took a step back and touched her eyebrows awkwardly, "Well, I'm making clothes for you. It seems a little inappropriate. Why don't you find someone else? Bar?"
