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

Chapter 86
Zuo Xiangning cast a vague glance into the man's eyes, but they were beautiful, unusually shy and moving.

"Xiang Ning, why have you lost so much weight? You seem to have changed." Gu Zhiqing said before Zuo Xiangning asked, "I heard from my mother that you were sick in Cangzhou, are you feeling better now? I have prepared two hundred-year-old ginseng for you, and I will send them to you tomorrow."

"My illness has been cured." Zuo Xiangning refused.

"Those two ginseng roots are in excellent quality. It would be a good idea for you to keep them for a rainy day."

Zuo Xiangning looked at the suave, gentle and elegant Gu Zhiqing.

He had shown such a side to her in his previous life.

But every time it was just a flash in the pan.

As long as Zuo Xiangning didn't go along with his wishes, he would immediately reveal his true colors and beat or scold her.

"The sweets here are delicious. Can I order two for you?" Gu Zhiqing looked into her watery eyes and asked with a smile, "You don't like sweets?"

"Why do you want to marry me?" Zuo Xiangning asked: "I am just a little concubine of the Zuo Mansion. Although my sister-in-law is the Princess of Chu, no one can predict what will happen in the future. If you marry me, you may not be a concubine. A boost may be a drag.”

"I only want you to marry me, Gu Zhiqing, to be my wife, so that we can grow old together." Gu Zhiqing said sincerely, "If I want help, I can marry Mr. Min Ge's granddaughter, or I can marry Duan Princess of the royal palace, but I have tried so hard to marry you, isn’t this enough to show that I really like you?”

"We haven't met a few times in total, and we haven't even spoken ten words to each other. How can you like me?" Zuo Xiangning asked curiously.

"Communication between people does not require too many words. People who understand you can bring silent joy to each other with a look or an action." Gu Zhiqing said affectionately: "I It's like this with you. When I first saw you, I felt very comfortable. Even without saying a word, I felt calm and comfortable like never before."

Zuo Xiangning sighed lightly.

What she was most curious about was why Gu Zhiqing treated her like that in his previous life.

But she seemed to be unable to find an answer to this question in this life.

"I still have something to do at home, so I'll leave first." Zuo Xiangning stood up and said, "I'll ask you to take care of me next time when I have the opportunity."

"Then I'll take you back." Gu Zhiqing opened the door for her.

"This place is only a quarter of an hour away from my home. I can just go back by myself." Zuo Xiangning declined politely.

"I have nothing to do. It won't be a problem if I take a walk." Gu Zhiqing said with a smile.

Zuo Xiangning frowned, and just when she was about to be cold-faced, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the room.

"Master Gu is actually here too."

"Master?" When Gu Zhiqing saw Ling Xiao, surprise flashed across his face.

"It's better to meet by chance than to invite. Since we met by chance today, I wonder if Mr. Gu can give me a favor and have a drink together?" Ling Xiao looked at Zuo Xiangning next to him, "Would the four girls of the Zuo family want to come together?"

Zuo Xiangning looked at Ling Xiao's calm face, shook her head and said, "I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."

"I'll take you downstairs." Gu Zhiqing hugged Ling Xiao, followed Zuo Xiangning, and watched her carriage leave before turning around and going back upstairs.

Ling Xiao stood in front of the window and saw that Zuo Xiangning did not support Gu Zhiqing's outstretched arm, and let out a cold "hum" from his nose.

Gu Zhiqing entered the room and saw Ling Xiao looking downstairs. He smiled and stepped forward to explain: "I have been engaged to the fourth girl of the Zuo family, and I wanted to say a few words here."

"It seems that I was rude." Ling Xiao looked out the window, stretched his neck and said, "Do you need me to send someone to invite Miss Zuo Si back?"

"No, no need." Gu Zhiqing hurriedly smiled and said, "She and I have plenty of opportunities. The opportunity to sit and drink with the prince is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Ling Xiao looked at him and smiled, and asked for the wine.

Gu Zhiqing wanted to get close to Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao didn't give him a chance at all. He just drank one glass after another with a wine flask.

Not long after, Gu Zhiqing was lying on the table drunk and unconscious.

Ling Xiao glared at him with cold eyes and asked someone to send him back to his residence.

Gu Zhiqing was carried back home by two guards like he was stuck in mud.

After the boy sent him back to the room and closed the door, Gu Zhiqing pushed away the boy who was supporting him and said to them: "Let people find out what day Prince Zhongyuan returned to the capital. What happened to the fourth girl from the left?" What day did you come back?"

Today, Prince Zhongyuan Hou did not want to drink with him at all, but deliberately wanted to make him drink!

His mind flashed back to Ling Xiao's expression when he saw Zuo Xiangning.

Based on Zuo Xiangning's current appearance, there was no surprise in his eyes.

As a man, this is absolutely not normal.

The person who went to investigate quickly got back to him.

"The fourth girl from the left arrived at the Zuo Mansion yesterday morning, and Prince Zhongyuan entered the East City Gate at You hour last night."

Gu Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief.

But he couldn't figure out why the prince suddenly came here today.
Could it be that he was afraid that if he took refuge with the King of Chu, he would take away his position next to the King of Chu?
Gu Zhiqing nodded secretly, this must be the reason!

Ling Xiao on the other side rushed directly to Zuo Xiangning's yard.

After Zuo Xiangning finished eating in Jiang's courtyard, she returned to her own courtyard and saw that the door of her room was closed and Pancui stood anxiously outside the door.

"Why are you staying outside in such a cold weather?" Zuo Xiangning asked strangely.

"Girl..." Pancui glanced at the maid in the yard, leaned into Zuo Xiangning's ear, and whispered: "The Crown Prince Zhongyuan is inside."

Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows.

Didn't he want to drink with Gu Zhijiu?
"You guys should retreat first." Zuo Xiangning entered the room alone.

Seeing that there was no one outside, she walked into the inner room and found the man lying on her bed, sleeping soundly.

Zuo Xiangning walked to the bed and pushed him, "Hello? Wake up?"

Ling Xiao opened his phoenix eyes full of red bloodshot eyes, looked at Zuo Xiangning for a long time, and then said drunkenly: "Zuo Xiangning? Who are you here for? Are you worried about your fiancé, or are you here to see me?"

"How much fake wine have you drunk?" Zuo Xiangning turned around, took a wet handkerchief and put it on his face, and couldn't help but said: "If you can understand what I'm saying, we can have a good conversation. If If you can’t understand what I’m saying, then you should quickly ask your guards to take you away.”

"Xiang Ning, what do you mean?" Ling Xiao's eyes narrowed dangerously, "You don't even want to talk to me?"

"Are you sick?" Zuo Xiangning looked at the unreasonable man, dumbfounded, "If you drink too much, just go home and go to bed. Why are you so drunk here?"

"I no longer have a home. If I don't come back to you, where else can I go?" Ling Xiao suddenly reached out and hugged Zuo Xiangning, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and said aggrievedly: "Xiang Ning, if I have nothing left, will you still be with me?"
