Fu Wenzhang's figure disappeared in the night.
Guanqin let the night wind blow against the thinly dressed Lingchan and quickly closed the window.
Lingchan did not avoid her when talking to Fu Wenzhang. She looked at Lingchan worriedly, "Miss, do you want to put on your clothes?"
"No." Lingchan pouted and said angrily: "Why do they come to my boudoir whenever they want, but I have to get dressed, comb my hair, and be ready? That's what I want!"
Guan Qin never antagonized her. Hearing this, he immediately agreed vigorously: "That's right!"
The master and the servant laughed and laughed for a while, then the window was knocked again.
Guanqin: "...Did the Second Young Master also give all your secret codes to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
She muttered as she opened the window.
Outside the window, Fu Wenci's red face was suppressing his excitement.
"Sister!" Fu Wenci said excitedly, "I know who is deliberately spreading rumors and trying to ruin your reputation!"
His eyes were watery, his lips were moist, and he smelled of alcohol, which made Chan frown: "Does what the drunkard said mean anything?"
"I'm not drunk!" Fu Wenci said, "I found out, sister! It was Wang An who did it! He was afraid that you would secretly marry someone when he left the capital, so he deliberately instructed a few dudes to tell rumors about you again and again! "
"Then why are you so happy?" Lingchan said quietly: "My fiancé doesn't believe me and is hurting me behind my back - do you feel happy?"
Fu Wenzhang paled in realization, "I just don't want you to be kept in the dark."
"I think you want to know the truth more than false happiness."
"You're right, brother." Lingchan stood up and bowed to him indoors, "I would rather stay awake and suffer. Thank you for telling me this."
Before Fu Wenci was happy to regain the title of brother, he saw Lingchan's long eyelashes trembling, her eyes breaking silently, and tears flowing out of her eyes.
His heart felt like someone had picked up a piece of flesh with sharp nails, stretched it, and stretched it again. The pain was sharp and long.
"Sister..." He was in a panic, his mind went blank, and he said something he shouldn't have said, "Actually, His Highness the Crown Prince told me. He has known about this for a long time. There are so many foul-mouthed people in the Hanlin Academy. He I also knew and acquiesced.”
"Look, these men are not good things. In fact, you don't have to marry. I am willing to support you for the rest of your life..."
"Big brother came just now." Lingchan wiped away her tears and said suddenly.
Fu Wenci was startled, but he quickly reacted, "Are you here to tell you that I brought His Highness the Crown Prince home to live there?"
"Um."
"I thought you would want to meet him." Fu Wenci whispered, "So I agreed."
[These two brothers... have completely different ideas. ] The system muttered, [The older one is afraid that you will suffer any grievances from the prince, but the younger one wants to see your true nature clearly. 】
As the eldest brother, Fu Wenzhang has always been protective of his younger brothers and sisters. After returning from the battlefield, this protective desire completely blinded him, and he was so afraid of Ling Chan in his mouth.
As for Fu Wenci, he already understood that it was Lingchan's appearance that made her weak, not her character. The soul in the slender body is smart and determined, and is not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles. She is fierce and tenacious and moves forward indomitably.
She is weak, but not weak.
…
Fu Wenci left soon.
Lingchan sat quietly, waiting for the next person.
She knew that the prince would come.
When the moon reaches the zenith, candlelight flickers.
The wind howled outside the window, the tree crowns were blown, and the black shadows swayed ghostly.
Guanqin frowned and whispered: "Miss, it's so late, His Highness the Crown Prince may not come. Why don't you go and rest first?"
Before she finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the front door of the girl's boudoir.
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-knocking, three long and one short, steady and clear.
Guanqin's expression changed slightly: "There were at least a dozen people guarding you from the entrance to the courtyard... Is His Highness the Crown Prince crazy?"
The people outside the door seemed to be unable to wait any longer, so they opened the door themselves.
The fragile wooden door was pulled hard, detached from its original track, and discarded aside.
The golden-armored warrior behind the prince leaned the door against the wall, moving lightly and cautiously, living up to the violence just now.
Tantai Zhi and Ling Chan looked at each other.
The girl was sitting in front of the window, her plain white pajamas falling empty on her body, her shoulders seemed to be cut into shape, and her waist was as plain as before.
The cold wind blew in, her face turned pale from the cold, and her lips were blue.
"Long time no see, A-chan."
Tantai Zhi smiled at her. If one ignored the time and place, it would really be like a warm and touching reunion of old friends.
Ling Chan said: "My maids are all innocent, don't hurt them."
"You care about those minions." Tantai Zhi said with a smile.
The smile seemed to be firmly welded to his face like a mask, "Don't you seem very happy to see me?"
Ling Chan was silent.
Tantai Zhi continued to smile and said: "You should have guessed the purpose of my visit today. My sweetheart and my younger brother are getting married, so as the older brother, I should also give him a congratulatory gift."
With a smile, he took out the knife from his sleeve and whispered as gently as a lover, "Achan, come here."
Lingchan remained motionless. She raised her head and asked, "What gift do you want to give me?"
Tantai Zhi whispered softly, "Your eyes are so beautiful and beguiling, but your mouth can only speak deceptive sweet words. You are half-hearted towards Qin Muchu, so it is better to destroy them all."
He stroked the dagger in his hand. The blade seemed to be made of glass, crystal clear, with a hint of beautiful red on the blade, as bright as a girl's red lips.
He held this beautiful knife and approached Lingchan step by step.
Lingchan's body was slender and her bones were thin. Her long and fair neck was easily held by Tantai Zhi's hand. Under her fair skin, warm blood flowed through her arteries and beat steadily in Tantai Zhi's palm.
Tantai Zhi was obsessed with this feeling.
This feeling of being able to easily control the girl's body and mind and take away her life at any time made Tantai Zhi feel at ease.
He finally couldn't help but weakly asked, "Why."
Am I not good to you? Don't I love you enough? Why are you
Would you know King An that well?
"What he eats, smokes, incenses, washes his face, and likes... you really care about it."
Tantai Zhi didn't want to do this. Such questioning made him look eager and ugly. But he really couldn't help it.
He had endured it ever since Prince An asked for a marriage in the palace, endured it until Lingchan was invited into the palace by Concubine Shu, endured it until Lingchan confessed her love to Prince An, endured it until the imperial decree granted her a marriage... He didn't want to endure it anymore.
Breathing rapidly, he got close to Lingchan's cold and soft face, gritted his teeth, and asked with all his grace, "Why don't you like me anymore?"
The beautiful and transparent blade gently kissed the girl's face.
