Qingqiu is difficult

Wanqing always had a straight face, but at this time, she couldn't help but purse her lips and pretend to drink tea to hide her smile.

In fact, despite the royal family's aloof attitude, Huahua Theater's playbooks have long been circulated in the streets, and sometimes new plays are inevitably expensive in Luoyang. It was not convenient for the royal family to go to the theater to watch a play by himself, so he bought these playbooks and circulated them secretly.

Therefore, although I have never read "New Edition of Red Mansions", I am extremely familiar with "A Dream of Red Mansions".

After an intense performance, everyone in the audience was already laughing. Tu Shansui held his stomach, took the hand of the maid beside him and said:

"In the past, I only thought that Lin Daiyu was weak and elegant. It's a good idea for you to throw Fengya to the ground!"

Everyone also looked at Lu Xinyi with a smile. At this time, a voice came from the other side of the white gauze tent.

"Boss Lu is really talented. He can be so unexpected. I don't think it would be possible for someone other than a master to come up with such an unworldly idea!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wanqing nodded and said:

"Brother Wang taught us well, and we are also lucky enough to see such a novel drama."

Lu Xinyi's heart tightened and she couldn't help but look at Zijing, only to see that he also looked serious at this time, clenched his fists and looked at the people over there.

Ling chuckled softly: "I'm ashamed to say that my maid is really naughty. I don't want to win the smiles of the emperor's sister-in-law and the emperor's sister today, but she still has some use."

After saying that, he stood up and said: "In that case, I am tired now, so I will go to the side room to rest for a while. Xin Yi, come here."

Lu Xinyi looked around at the people around him and saw that everyone was aware that it was only natural for slaves to serve the prince. Even Tu Shansui let go of his hand and looked at her with a smile. She had no choice but to step forward hesitantly, turned around, saluted the two people beside her, and said to the other side of the curtain:

"Yes, here we come."

Ling did not bring any slaves with her today, only two servants followed her. Behind Lu Xinyi, Zi Jing also followed her, keeping her head lowered.

When he arrived at the door of the side room, Lingping retreated from the two boys and asked Lu Xinyi to come in alone. When Zijing was about to follow, he held his arm to separate him.

"Where did you come from? Why don't you get out of here?"

Xin Yi's eyes signaled Zijing to stay at the door, while she bravely followed Ling into the room.

Even looking at his shadow, Lu Xinyi felt nauseous.

After closing the door, Ling took out her handkerchief, wiped her hands, turned her back to her and said, "I must have scared you last time."

Lu Xinyi said calmly: "No, I don't remember what happened last time. If the Crown Prince feels guilty, please allow me to redeem my deed."

Ling smiled, turned his back to Xin Yi, and took off his mask.

"Your blood is not bad." Ling chuckled softly, and the mirror in front of him reflected his slightly injured face.

Drinking his blood was equivalent to signing a contract with him. Although he could not kill her, the fact that her blood contained snake gall was undeniable no matter what.

Ling was very happy about this, and said in a brisk tone: "Don't worry, from now on, I will not kill you again, but as a condition, you must return to the Duke's Mansion so that I can take medicine in time. As for the stables and Tianma's Feel free to take anything like that."

Lu Xinyi took half a step back: "Please forgive me for not obeying my order. If the prince needs it, I can send medicine to the mansion every day, but freedom is what I want!"

Ling nodded with a smile.

"In order to save you, he did not hesitate to connect with my blood and give up the body that he had finally cultivated. But you left him alone for the sake of freedom."

Her expression was slightly moved, and in a trance, she seemed to see a young man with his back to the moonlight in the hazy night, his body covered with scars and trembling, but he refused to say a word. "How does he get out of your body?" she asked.

"I'm living a good life." Ling replied calmly, and he stepped forward slowly, "If I'm not wrong, what your theater needs most now is a powerful person to rely on, right? It's just a matter of borrowing my horse. It’s to get the name of the Duke’s Mansion.”

She swallowed, then clenched her fists and said calmly: "I can agree to return to the Duke's mansion with you, but..."

Ling laughed: "Are you still qualified to negotiate terms with me?"

As he spoke, he took Xin Yi's wrist and made a slit on it with a dagger. He didn't even bother to use the bowl and directly pointed it at his lips to suck.

She frowned in pain, but did not dare to make a sound.

After sucking it, he looked at Xin Yi with satisfaction, raised his lips, and touched her cheek with one hand: "I heard that your appearance was once the same as that of ordinary people, and then it festered after being poisoned by snake venom. Now, although you are You have been cured of the snake's venom, but you still end up in this skin, which is not good-looking even among monsters, so you don't have the slightest concern?"

Lu Xinyi took half a step back and lowered his eyes: "I said it was just a skin bag. My heart is no longer in this place. Your Highness, I am tired."

Ling glanced at her with interest, put down her hand, turned around, opened the door, and walked out.

Zijing walked in quickly from outside the door, took Lu Xinyi's hand, and checked her injuries. Seeing that it was just a wound, but deep into the bone, she couldn't help but frowned and said: "Obviously it was just to take blood, such an injury, no matter how deep it is, can One point and you'll be permanently disabled."

Lu Xinyi casually took a handkerchief and wrapped the wound: "How much money have we saved now?"

"About ten thousand dollars."

Ten thousand dollars is not even enough to feed an army for a month.

Lu Xinyi bit his lip: "If I save another ten thousand dollars, I will definitely leave this hellish place!"

As they talked, the two came to the inner hall.

At that time, the stage in the theater had just rested, and the male and female guests were reciting poems and pairs in one place, and the gauze curtain in the middle was also removed.

When Tu Shansui saw Xin Yi coming, he stepped forward to grab her hand, but when he saw it was wrapped with a handkerchief and blood seeping out, he turned his head and glanced at Ling who was drinking in the seat, and he understood something in his heart. .

"Why are you so careless?" She whispered angrily. Seeing this, Wanqing at the side immediately called the maid next to her.

"Liu Zhu, Boss Lu is feeling a little unwell today. Please send Boss Lu home first."

Liu Zhu stood up and was about to send him off when he heard a voice in the audience lazily say: "Wait a minute, I haven't had enough fun yet, what's she going to say?"

Seeing this, everyone laughed and had to sit back in their seats. In order to wipe away the embarrassment just now, an old nobleman from Yi Jingguo stood up and said:

"Come on, come on, we are all gathered together today. Thanks to Princess Wanqing for being the host, why don't we have a good drink and play a drinking game?"

Xin Yi looked around and saw that he looked familiar. After careful identification, he turned out to be his elder brother who used to study together.

Ling sat slanted on the seat with her feet crossed: "What fun are you Han people having? They smell sour and will make this banquet dirty." (End of Chapter)
