Chapter 84
Ling Xiao saw Zuo Xiang sitting there distracted, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter."

Zuo Xiangning came back to her senses and raised her eyes to look at the gentle man in front of her.

Suddenly it occurred to me that there seemed to be no news about him since he came back from the border in his previous life. Could it be that he died because of an assassination like yesterday?
She asked nervously: "Have you found out who was the person who wanted to kill you yesterday?"

Ling Xiao pursed his lower lip and said, "I'm still checking."

"You don't need to interfere with my marriage to the Gu family. I will find a way on my own." Zuo Xiangning said softly, "If it really can't be resolved in the end, I'll talk to you again."

"This is a matter between the two of us." Ling Xiao said solemnly: "It's not yours alone."

"I know. I'm just engaged to him now, not a wedding. What's there to be anxious about?" Zuo Xiangning put her arms around his waist and rubbed her face against his chest, "You want to get married first?" Finding your assassin is the most important thing."

Ling Xiao secretly sighed.

It seemed that in Zuo Xiangning's dream, she must have died, that's why Zuo Xiangning was so worried.

"Okay, let me deal with yesterday's assassination first. If you have anything to do here, just ask someone to leave a message at Wanfu Pawnshop." Ling Xiao took out the jade pendant from before, "You are not allowed to do it this time. I won’t accept it again.”

Zuo Xiangning took the jade pendant with a smile, looked at it in her hand, picked it up and put it on her neck.

"Is it alright this time?"

"Okay." Ling Xiao smiled and hugged her, "You have been exhausted these days. Clean up and go to bed early."

"Yeah." Zuo Xiangning hugged him back, "You too."

Ling Xiao turned around and opened the door, and saw Pan Xia and Pan Cui standing outside the door nervously. When they saw him coming out, they were so frightened that they took a step back.

"Take care of you girls." Ling Xiao said solemnly, "Go in."

The two girls hurriedly entered the room and closed the door.

"Girl--" Pan Xia pulled Zuo Xiangning's arm and almost burst into tears, "You are engaged to the Gu family uncle..."

"Pan Xia!" Pan Cui pulled Pan Xia's hand, "The girl knows what she is doing."

"But...but..." After Panxiacong learned that Zuo Xiangning was engaged to the Gu family uncle, she was shocked and scared.

What would happen if people knew that their girl and Prince Zhongyuan stayed in the same room all night?

"You are the closest and most trusted people around me. There are some things that I can hide from others, but I cannot hide them from you." Zuo Xiangning said calmly to the two girls: "It is impossible for me to marry into the Gu family."

Pancui breathed a sigh of relief obviously.

Panxia blinked her eyes and said, "Then you have to call off the engagement as soon as possible."

Pancui glared at Panxia: "The girl knows how to do it."

"I'm afraid..." Pan Xia was pulled again by Pan Cui, and her voice paused for a moment before continuing: "I'm afraid that the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion will care about the girl's engagement."

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge." Zuo Xiangning asked them to help her untie her hair, "I want to take a hot bath soon."

Now that she has decided on the direction, no matter whether it is a swamp or a quagmire ahead, she will try to walk.

The next day, Zuo Xiangning went to Prince Chu's Mansion.

Zuo Xiangrong pulled her and looked her up and down for a long time, "What disease do you have? Why are you so thin?"

"Sister, am I not very thin now?" Zuo Xiangning hugged her arm and said with a smile, "I can walk much more briskly now."

"It's good to be thinner, but you are too thin." Zuo Xiangrong asked someone to bring the newly made snacks, "You can finish your lunch here and then go back." "Okay." Zuo Xiangning smiled. He said: "I want to eat steamed pork with rice flour."

"Greedy cat." Zuo Xiangrong tapped her forehead and asked people to do it quickly.

"How is sister's health lately?" Zuo Xiangning touched Zuo Xiangrong's bulging belly and asked with concern, "Is the child well behaved?"

"He is very well-behaved." Zuo Xiangrong said with a smile, "Just like you when you were a child."

"Really?" Zuo Xiangning thought of her mother.

She had no impression of that woman at all.

"Yes." Zuo Xiangrong took Zuo Xiangning's hand, "Your aunt is a good woman, but her life is not good. I asked the prince to check on the Gu family uncle. His backyard is very clean, and there is even a girl who has a common room with him. None. In fact, I think Prince Zhongyuan is good, but the prince disagrees and says that you are more suitable with the Gu family uncle. As long as he is around, the Gu family uncle will not dare to treat you poorly. "

Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that her eldest sister would think of Ling Xiao.

"Sister, is the prince treating you well?"

"Your Majesty is very kind to me," Zuo Xiangrong said happily with a slight blush on her face: "Your Majesty treats you like your own sister."

Zuo Xiangning thought so before.

Every New Year, the King of Chu would reward her with many things like a child, and treat her just like his own sister.

"Your Majesty knew that I cared about your marriage, so he asked people to check the Gu family inside and out." Zuo Xiangrong covered her mouth and laughed, "Even Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu put their private money All the places were investigated."

After checking so carefully, why didn't they find out that Gu Er, the idiot who lives in the same courtyard as Mrs. Gu?

"Xiang Ning?" Zuo Xiangrong shook Zuo Xiangning's arm, "What are you thinking about?"

"No... I didn't think about anything." Zuo Xiangning came back to her senses with a smile and asked: "It has been some time since Concubine Liu married into the palace. How is she getting along with her sister?"

"She is also pitiful. The prince had no choice but to choose her as his concubine. In the past few years, she has been exposed in the side courtyard. Sometimes I feel a little pity for her." Zuo Xiangrong sighed, "This world is not right. Women are so unfair, men can have three wives and four concubines, but women can only live with one."

Zuo Xiangrong looked at her charming sister and said softly: "Two people for a lifetime. What I can't get in this life, I hope my favorite sister can get it."

The corners of Zuo Xiangning's eyes were slightly moist.

Her sister Bingxue is smart, but she doesn't recognize people well.

Not only did she fail to see Gu Zhiqing's true face clearly, she also failed to see Wang clearly at all.

In her previous life, Concubine Liu's son was only four months younger than Zuo Xiangrong, which meant that Concubine Liu was already more than a month pregnant.

But her good sister simply thought that King Chu was just leaving Concubine Liu aside.

Things in the past life suddenly became much clearer.

The King of Chu was a deeply affectionate husband to her sister Zuo Xiangrong, which made Zuo Xiangrong mistakenly believe that she was the only favorite in the entire Chu King's palace, so she regarded the King of Chu as the most caring person like she does now. The King of Chu believed in his words.

After Zuo Xiangrong gave birth to her child, she discovered that Liu Fangfei was also pregnant and was only a few months younger than her. It was only then that Zuo Xiangrong suddenly realized that her position was unstable, and she spent a large amount of money Come to bribe the maid in the backyard of Prince Chu's Mansion.

This is also the reason why Zuo Xiangning thought her eldest sister was short of money after she was reborn, because Zuo Xiangning helped Jiang give several large banknotes to Zuo Xiangrong.

When Zuo Xiangning wanted to marry Gu Zhiqing, the King of Chu agreed, but Zuo Xiangrong, who was estranged from the King of Chu, refused to agree.

So Gu Zhiqing dared to treat him like that because he knew that King Chu no longer had Zuo Xiangrong in his heart?

So what does the sudden death of Zuo Xiangrong and her son have to do with the King of Chu?
