Lin Hui also sent someone to bring over a small bowl. She felt that anything other than Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion would taste good.
After the two of them had finished dividing the bowl of longevity noodles, the two of them got into the carriage on their way back.
Inside the carriage, Lin Hui was still chattering nonstop, "... Sister Shu, who did you say gave this longevity noodles to him? Do you have any friends outside the residence? originally planned to keep us for dinner. I directly said that it was your birthday and Fifth Aunt was waiting for you to come back for dinner together with us, I don't know if Fifth Aunt was anxious waiting for you at this meeting. "" Really? "
Lin Shu was even more certain that Lu Jingran was the one who gifted him that bowl of longevity noodles. Firstly, no one outside of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion took her seriously, and secondly, Lu Jingran had raised a group of Death Soldiers, so he had the ability.
Just the Mr. Bai? Is it good or bad?
Because she had always been thinking about this matter, even after she returned to the Fanghua Garden, she still wasn't able to recover her wits.
Madam Lian only thought that it was because she was hurt by the scene and helped her scoop up a bowl of milk pigeon soup. I only thought that you and Zhang Yuanqing did not have much of a relationship, after all, after we went to the Villa, she said that she did not even write a letter, or else seeing you in such pain, I would not permit you to go to the Third Prince's Mansion. "
As she said that, she sighed, "I'm afraid that her future days will not be good. It seems like the Emperor is looking after the Third Prince when the two Lateral Consort enter the door together, but he has wronged the two empress. Let's not talk about the others, just which Lateral Consort will the Third Prince be resting at?"
This was the first battle in which the two women got married into Third Prince's Mansion, which was also an extremely important battle. The one who lost, would probably be unable to turn back for a long time.
Lin Shu laughed, "Then that's their problem. How can marrying to the imperial family be so simple? "Forget about the others, let's just talk about the empress dowager. The Old Prince Rui has helped the empress dowager and I heard that the King Rui in Fujian has already written a letter to return to the capital. I know what the empress dowager has said, and I'm afraid the empress dowager might have a headache …"
If King Rui was a mediocre person, Empress Dowager Wang would not need to be kind to him. However, since King Rui was courageous and fierce, even if Empress Dowager Wang wanted to deceive him, he would have to see if King Rui would agree to it or not.
Now that the Madam Lian's personality had become a lot gentler, she said softly: "Today is your birthday, let's not talk about such bad things anymore."
No matter how Lin Pei and the Princess Changze were, during Lin Shu's birthday in the past, even if he was not able to accompany his to eat dinner, he would definitely send someone to send his a bowl of longevity noodles. Even when she and his mother had been living in the villa in the past few years, Lin Pei had also sent someone to send his a basket of longevity peach buns and a few boxes of snacks.
Lin Shu had long ago given up any hope for this nominal father of his.
Little did he know that Lin Pei was galloping along the mountain road at top speed, his heart was in a mess. This morning, he received a letter from Princess Changze, saying that no matter what, he wanted to meet him.
Meet him? Why would I want to see him? Now that the Princess Changze had fallen into such a predicament, what more could the two of them say? Back then, he did not force the Princess Changze to protect him.
But Lin Pei still did not dare take the risk, no matter how it was, Princess Changze was still a princess. If she could pass the information to the s, then there would be a method to deliver the letter to the s.
The current Minister of the Department of Public Relations was already very old and would not be able to sit in this seat for many years. The Elder Jiangge had already revealed to him that this seat was most likely his.
Along the way, Lin Pei was both angry and anxious. After getting off the horse, the nun who was already old was waiting at the back door. The moment she saw him, she said, "Master, please follow me."
The nunnery was a peaceful and quiet place. The light was dim, but even so, Lin Pei was still able to see the mottled walls, and the tip of his nose smelt of mildew.
He did not think about how the Princess Changze was able to survive in this kind of place. He only wanted to leave quickly.
After turning a few corners, the old nun said softly, "Master, Princess Changze is waiting for you inside."
The door squeaked open.
Princess Changze, who was sitting in front of a mirror, suddenly turned around. Upon seeing the person he was thinking about day and night, his tears started to fall.
However, Lin Pei hurriedly shut the door.
The light in Princess Changze's eyes dimmed by half, and he sneered: "Are you afraid of being seen by others? "Don't worry, that nun is mine outside. She won't tell anyone."
Now that she had been shaved and covered in gray, she didn't look like her usual noble self at all. Because he hadn't been able to eat well and live well for the past few days, his expression was extremely ugly. It seemed as if it carried a tinge of greenish grey, and his cheeks were bulging up high … Even so, when she thought of meeting her beloved one, she still secretly dyed her nails with the Immortal Phoenix Flower juice and pursed her lips with the blubber she had secretly brought back.
Behind him, on the dressing table, there were even a few crabapple blossoms that just happened to bloom.
Lin Pei naturally could not see all of this, he did not even seem to have the intention of sitting down, "Of course I'm afraid of being seen by others … Have you ever thought about it? Only because the empress dowager and King Rui are here now can you keep your life. If people knew about what happened between us, what would happen to you? Although Wang Pei was only born from Wang Family, he is still a person of Wang Family. Because of this period of public opinion, people of Wang Family have entered the palace who knows how many times, and only said that they wanted to take's life, as if they were afraid that others would not know that their Wang Family is not someone who covets authority! "
His tone was very urgent, but his voice was very low.
Princess Changze stared at him without blinking, as if every glance was imprinted in the deepest part of his heart. "I know, even I know … I also know that you are very busy right now, but I just want to see you. During this period of time, I have to think of all sorts of ways to send out a few letters, but all of them seem to have sunk into the ocean like a stone. Abel, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I will never be able to see you again.
"I thought your letters weren't delivered to me because those nuns stopped me, but I gave them all the silver I had, and they still said you didn't send a letter …" Abel, do you not want me anymore?
The sound was as mournful as the sound of rhododendrons crying blood.
Lin Pei then walked over and wiped the tears off her face and said: Why would I ignore you? I've been thinking about what to do... However, you also know my identity, I am just a mere Assistant Minister of the Department of Public Affairs, I am so soft on people that even if I wanted to save you, there is nothing I can do, but I have already sent someone to send a message to Fujian, there will be news from the King Rui soon. "
If not for the fact that he was waiting for his brother to save him, Princess Changze would have died a long time ago.
Now she gave a mournful smile. "Even if you can't do anything to save me, are you just going to watch me be tormented to death by the empress?" It would be nice to send someone to the nunnery, but you don't... "Abel, you don't know how I've endured these past few days. Big brother is far away in Fujian, and the empress dowager isn't paying attention to me either. I've been hoping for you to come find me every night, but you haven't received any news at all."
The mosquitoes bit and the mice ants crawled. Her delicate skin was covered in streaks of blood, but even so, she still felt that the pain was not even a thousandth of her heartache.
Lin Pei didn't know how to respond. He wanted to coax and deceive her, but when he looked down at her determined and mournful eyes, he was unable to speak out the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He had known Princess Changze for more than twenty years, but this was the first time he had seen a Princess Changze of this shape.
Princess Changze slowly stood up, his gaze landing on his still-handsome eyebrows, "Heh, I'm so silly, I even gave up my life for you, but Maid Du has already said that you have been using me this entire time, and I still don't believe that you understand everything about me. Abel, have you not loved me from the start?"
"If you truly loved me, then when I heard that Marquis Zhong proposed to marry you to the Madam Lian back then, you would never agree to the marriage. I know your personality better than anyone else, and I only thought that you wanted to reject the marriage for the sake of your family, but who are you? It was a dignified left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who relied on scheming and ruthlessness to climb to his current position at such a young age. If there were no benefits, how would he agree to this marriage? "
"I'm afraid that after so many years, your Lian Family has spent quite a bit of money to build up your government. Ah, Sir Lin's future is limitless, if the ministers knew about your dirty work, how would they talk about you …"
"Shut up!" Lin Pei interrupted her words coldly, the warmth in his eyes had long disappeared. No, it should be said that he had already lost his use of his, the current Princess Changze was just an abandoned chess piece, "Chang Ze, the matter between me and Lian Family is not up to you to discuss. You have to think it through, if the matter between us were to be exposed, will you have a chance of survival? Wang Family are not easy to deal with. If they knew that you had plotted against Wang Pei from the start, how could they agree to it? How are you going to explain things to Esteemed Empress Dowager? In this way, you'll be like a street rat being beaten. Is this what you want? "
After saying that, his tone slowed down, and he said gently: "Chang Ze, listen to me, I won't harm you, let's wait for now, wait until King Rui comes back from Fujian, everything will be fine … …" At that time I will personally take care of the Madam Lian, and we will be together for life, alright? "
