Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 323
By the night, Lanyue Pavilion.

In winter, the courtyard is bleak and desolate.

The cold wind was blowing outside the window, and the window lattice made a soft creaking sound from time to time.

The pomegranate trees in the yard were bare, with only a few dead branches and leaves left.

As the wind blows, the dry and black pomegranate leaves curled up into small rolls also fall down.

The candles in the room were brightly lit, and by the looks of it, the people inside should not have fallen asleep yet.

Luo Ning hurried in from the door of Lanyue Pavilion, holding a letter tightly in his hand.

Pushing open the door hurriedly, startled Lu Ziyu, who was sewing a wedding dress with embroidery needles in the room.

The needle trembled and accidentally punctured the soft jade finger.

Bright red blood beads overflowed from the fingertips.

Luo Ning walked in, and saw her young lady holding a pair of red silk lotus gauze embroidering branch patterns under the candlelight, she frowned, stepped forward and carefully put away the handful of red gauze.

"Oh, my lady. You have been rushing to embroider this wedding dress day and night. Could it be that you are in a hurry to marry your own size?"

Since Ying Su went south to fight, Lu Ziyu spent a lot of money to find this red silk lotus yarn, thinking that he would embroider the wedding dress as soon as possible, and when Ying Su returned from the battle in the spring, she would be able to wear Feng Guanxia as early as possible. Some married him.

But the red silk lotus gauze is as light as mist, if you want to embroider patterns on it, you have to be careful.

Lu Ziyu didn't want to leave the work of embroidering the wedding gown to others, because he was worried that the red silk lotus yarn would be ruined.The second is that it is more thoughtful for her to sew the wedding dress herself.

During the day, I was busy with Mu Cangzhai, and at night I sat in the house lighting candles and embroidering flowers.

The tangle of branches on the neckline of the Xiapei was the most difficult to embroider. It took Lu Ziyu more than ten days to embroider before he was able to finish half of it.

She was afraid that after her grandfather returned from the war, her wedding dress would not be embroidered into a perfect shape, so she always stayed up until the third watch these few days before going to bed.

Luo Ning and the others couldn't persuade him, so they simply confiscated the red yarn and put it in a box when they found out that this person was staying up all night and embroidering.

Luo Ning tidied up the red gauze carefully, walked to the side of the couch and was about to hand the envelope in his hand to his young lady, but found a drop of blood gushing out from the young lady's fingertips.

"Why did you see blood? If you see blood when embroidering the wedding dress, it is not a good omen."

Seeing her flustered and anxious, Lu Ziyu curled his lips into a chuckle and put the blood-soaked fingertips in his mouth.

When he spread his palms again, his fingertips were white and jade-like, and the blood beads were nowhere to be seen.

"It's okay. It's just a drop of blood after all, so you don't have to be so nervous." Lu Ziyu showed his five fingers as if shaking in front of Luo Ning's eyes, and jokingly said, "Your family Miss, I have great fortune and destiny, and there have been many incidents where disasters turned into good fortunes!"

The words were so comforting, but Luo Ning was still frowning, and wanted to ramble on.

Lu Ziyu had always been afraid of her "monk chanting scriptures", seeing that the person's mouth had just opened halfway, he quickly looked for an opportunity to make trouble.

"What are you holding in your hand?"

Luo Ning suddenly remembered what she was here for, she quickly handed the envelope to Lu Ziyu, then laughed at herself with a smirk, "I almost forgot about this important matter. A letter sent at a hurry, said that it must be handed over to you in person."

After finishing speaking, Luo Ning smiled ambiguously at his young lady, "I will not bother you for the time being, the maidservant. After you finish reading this letter, go to bed and go to sleep, and don't waste your eyes on embroidery work."

Lu Ziyu took the letter, and rushed away coquettishly, "I know, I know. You should go back to the West Wing to sleep."

Luo Ning covered her lips and smiled, closed the door and left.

As soon as the people left, Lu Ziyu impatiently moved to the table.

She carefully tore open the envelope, as if treating some precious object.

The letter paper was folded, and a familiar scent of sandalwood oozes from the page.

This is his scent.
Lu Ziyu didn't read what was written on the letter first, she held the page in front of her nose and took a deep sniff, just like that day in the carriage, she huddled in his arms and greedily smelled the reassuring smell.

Before I knew it, I had already left Beijing for more than ten days.

The candle was flickering and fragrant, Lu Ziyu looked down at what was written on the letter paper.

In the letter, Yingsu said that he had already set up camp in southern Xinjiang, and fought a few small battles with Jin Qi and won a complete victory.Right now Jin Qi didn't dare to act rashly, he planned to secretly attack Jin Qi's granary in the past few days, so that this battle would end earlier.

After explaining the important things, I wrote down some trivial things later
At the end of the letter, he said that he had been wearing the lovesickness pendant she gave him all the time, and he also asked her how much she ate and how little she ate these days, but she caught cold because of lack of clothes.

Although he didn't write anything greasy and crooked, but between the lines is full of greetings to her.

Lu Ziyu's heart was burning hot, and a satisfied smile bloomed on the tip of his lips.

She grinds ink into juice, picks up the pen and leaves a handful of lovesickness on the clean letter paper
When the quilt was put into the couch, the third watch had passed.

It was supposed to be a clear dream overnight, but Lu Ziyu fell into a deep nightmare.

It was still the familiar house in the previous dream, with blue bricks and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings.

She was standing in the courtyard in a palace dress.

Not far away, a man in black jumped over the wall.

As if he couldn't see Lu Ziyu, he walked straight past her and walked towards a house.

Lu Ziyu followed behind him with ease.

Entering the house, it turned out to be empty and pitch black.

The man in black who stepped in just now was also missing.

Lu Ziyu frowned, and was about to search in the dark, when the door behind him was shut tightly.

In front of the door, a dark shadow was staring at her savagely and bloodthirsty.

The exposed pupils are shaped like peach blossoms.

Lu Ziyu was startled.

These eyes are so familiar, she seems to have seen them somewhere.

In the dark, the black shadow drew a knife and slashed towards Lu Ziyu.

The moonlight hit the blade, and the dark gold in the eyes of the man in black was instantly illuminated by the light of the blade.

Lu Ziyu stared at those eyes.

When the knife fell, she sat up suddenly from the bed and gasped for breath.

The mattress on the couch was soaked with cold sweat from her body.

It's him!

After two nightmares, she finally recognized who the person who framed their Lu family in the previous life was!
Yingqi is the Fourth Prince Yingqi!

She was once captured by Ying Qi and taken to a dark room in Taohuawu. When the black cloth in front of her was taken off, the first thing that caught her eyes was the pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes.

The reason why those eyes can be remembered by her is not because they are beautiful, but because there are golden spots in those eyes.

Among the four kingdoms, only the Jinqi royal family has golden pupils.

The golden light in Yingxi's eyes is not pure enough, if there is no bright object to refract it, it will be no different from others.

Lu Ziyu couldn't help trembling all over.

That feeling is not fear or timidity, but the pleasure of unintentionally breaking a mystery.

In a daze, Lu Ziyu felt that he was getting closer to the truth in that dark place.

If Yingqi is a member of the Jinqi royal family, then it's not surprising that he and the queen joined forces to usurp power.

But Yingqi's biological mother is just a Jinqi dancer, not from the Jinqi royal family.

Could it be that Yingqi's identity also hides a mystery?
