C88 Pink Butterfly

Xuanyuan Chen nodded his head, "Since it's like this, then this subject will be relieved. But this son still has one thing that he is unclear about, I wonder if this matriarch can provide an answer for this son? "

Zhangsun Linglong lightly knocked on the imperial concubine chair with her red cardamom painted fingernail, she laughed with unknown meaning: "Whatever it is that you want, Chen Er can speak your mind, matriarch will tell you everything she knows."

Xuanyuan Chen was sitting on a chair when he suddenly stood up and walked to the window. Zhangsun Linglong followed her footsteps and walked to the side of the bed, then stood beside Xuanyuan Chen.

"matriarch, do you know of the Shang Huaiyue whose name shook the world back then?"

The smile on Zhangsun Linglong's face stiffened, she looked at Xuanyuan Chen in doubt, but sighed in her heart. Her face was indifferent, and his voice was a little erratic, as if he was far away.

"Naturally. Back then, if it wasn't for Huai Yue, I would have already fallen into the hands of a thief. "

When Zhangsun Linglong was sixteen, she was naive, lively, and unwilling to be trapped by the secular world. Every day, she would sneak out while her servant wasn't paying attention.

In fact, every time she went out, there would be a lot of people following her. It was just that she hadn't noticed it yet. Only once, because he was curious and wanted to see the scenery outside the capital, he had ridden his horse and secretly left the capital. The people behind him had not noticed and had lost him.

The scenery outside the capital was truly much more beautiful than the capital. Every day, she would get tired of seeing those sights.

She stopped in the middle of a field of flowers, dazzled by the beauty of the flowers, dancing in the middle of them, her pink embroidered dress whirling. Unexpectedly, a figure gradually approached her from behind.

Just as the man was about to pounce on Zhangsun Linglong, a sonic boom came from behind him, followed by the sound of blades piercing into flesh.

Zhangsun Linglong frowned, she stopped dancing and saw a person laid in front of him. On her back was a sword, and fresh blood flowed out from the wound.

Although she knew about the dirty things in the high school, she was after all still a 16 year old girl. She had never seen such a bloody scene. Her eyes suddenly became wide open as she stood in place, a trace of fear flashing deep within her eyes.

However, he pretended to be calm as he squatted down and pushed the man on the ground.

"You must hold on! I'll get a doctor to come and save you. "

The man on the ground raised his head. His appearance was a little wretched, and the fear and panic in his eyes was completely captured by Zhangsun Linglong.

"Hey, that pink butterfly, come here!"

A clear and melodious voice similar to that of an oriole emerging from a valley came from not far away. It was just that the tone was a bit aggressive and a bit anxious.

Zhangsun Linglong looked up in confusion, to realize that it was a young lady around her age. The only difference was that the young lady was dressed in black robes with her long black hair tied up into a high ponytail, which made her look a little out of place in Zhangsun Linglong's eyes.

Zhangsun Linglong pointed to the man on the ground with some suspicions and asked, "This man is severely injured, I need to find a doctor for him."

It was unknown if it was just Zhangsun Linglong's imagination, but the young lady who was filled with the aura of rivers and lakes rolled her eyes, only to see her standing up from the horse's back, with a tap of her toes, she flew towards him.

He pulled out his sword and stepped on the man's wound. The man struggled for a while before he breathed his last.

Zhangsun Linglong was shocked, she hurriedly took a step back, wanting to stay away from this cruel girl in front of him.

When the girl saw this, she rolled her eyes and snappily said, "This person is someone from a nearby village. Just now, you danced with him and attracted his attention. If it wasn't for me, you would have been tainted by him!"

Hearing that, Zhangsun Linglong was startled, her innocent face revealed a bit of a lovable, innocent look.

The young girl curled her lips, her peerlessly beautiful face suddenly becoming a bit gorgeous. However, a trace of craftiness flashed in her eyes: "Let's go, Pink Butterfly. I will bring you out of here."

Zhangsun Linglong curled her lips and said: "My name is not Pink Butterfly, I have a name."

The girl raised her brows and asked, "Then what's your name?"

"Zhangsun Linglong, you can call me Linglong." Zhangsun Linglong said solemnly.

The girl nodded, "Ok, Pink Butterfly."

"You!" Zhangsun Linglong turned her head awkwardly, not looking at her.

The young girl wanted to pull Zhangsun Linglong's hand, but was flung away by Zhangsun Linglong. The young girl had no choice but to shout "Linglong", and only then did Zhangsun Linglong smile and give her her hand.

When the girl had stabbed the man earlier, she had scared off the horse that was eating grass, so Zhangsun Linglong could only sit with the girl on the same horse.

The young lady jumped onto the horse and extended her hand out to Zhangsun Linglong. Zhangsun Linglong placed her own hand into the girl's palm, the young lady used her strength and pulled Zhangsun Linglong off the horse.

"This was the first time I met Huai Yue, and after that, Huai Yue and I often went out to play together. She brought me to a lot of places that I had never noticed before, and it had a different flavor to it."

Zhangsun Linglong thought back to the prank she had done with Shang Huaiyue, the grass, amber, and forest they had played together. A look of nostalgia appeared on her forehead, and a sense of melancholy surfaced in her eyes.

"Unfortunately, she died after giving birth to Qingqing." At this point, Zhangsun Linglong's brows were instantly covered with sorrow and regret.

After so many years, he didn't think that she would mention her again.

Xuanyuan Chen quietly listened to what Zhangsun Linglong had to say, and after Zhangsun Linglong finished, he voiced out the question that was in his heart: "Then matriarch, do you know who she is?"

Zhangsun Linglong pursed her lips, and said with a smile: "When I interact with Huai Yue, I have never asked who Huai Yue is. If Huai Yue is willing to tell me, she will definitely tell me. If she doesn't want to talk about it, then I will pretend that I don't know. "

Zhangsun Linglong tactfully refused her son's questions. Even if she knew, she would not tell Xuanyuan Chen. Since Huai Yue had spent so much effort to conceal her identity, she pretended to know nothing.

Xuanyuan Chen knew from Zhangsun Linglong's words that he wouldn't be able to get any answers no matter how much he asked, but he knew enough today.

"Then, your son will take his leave first." Xuanyuan Chen cupped his hands in a salute, Zhangsun Linglong waved her hands, and Xuanyuan Chen left.

After Xuanyuan Chen left far away, the sorrow between Zhangsun Linglong's brows had already disappeared without a trace. Not far from the window edge was a clump of pink butterflies.

The new spring has passed, the butterfly orchid plants from the leaf axils out of the long pedicel, shaped like butterflies flying flowers. The petals were pink and tender, just like how Zhangsun Linglong looked like a pink butterfly dancing in the flowers when they first met.

Zhangsun Linglong could vaguely see the woman, who was dressed in black clothes all year round, giving her a smile. However, she was complaining non-stop, "Pink Butterfly, why did you just arrive?"
