After rebirth, the down-and-out concubine married the cold prince

Chapter 23

Liu Piaopiao's black hair hung down and fell on the back of Lu Ji's hand with residual heat.For a moment, he felt his throat tightened, his mouth was dry, and he didn't dare to look up at the person above him.But Liu Piaopiao didn't seem to notice and said to himself: "The assassin's target is not me, how could he hurt me."

She just woke up, her voice is still a little hoarse.With the immature feeling unique to girls, she scratched Lu Ji's heart like a cat's paw.

He took the water glass from He Zhi, not knowing what to think.The rim of the cup touched Liu Piaopiao's lips, and the colorless lips revealed a delicate pink color after being stained with water.Lu Ji turned his face sideways, silently saying "Do not look at evil."

Liu Piaopiao cleared her throat before asking, "Where's Miss Bai?"

"She's fine, she was just frightened and escorted back home."

Liu Piaopiao lowered her eyes, stared at Lu Ji's slender fingers, and said without thinking: "Your Highness's hands are so beautiful."

Lu Ji smiled and raised his hand up.Turning over the palm of Liu Piaopiao, he found that Lu Ji's fingertips and tiger's mouth were covered with a thin layer of calluses, and his skin texture was delicate. Even if he danced with knives and guns all day long, it was still as white as jade.

Liu Piaopiao stretched out her hand to gesture, but she was small everywhere, even her hand was half smaller than Lu Ji's.

His fingertips slid across Lu Ji's palm, tracing along the lines carefully.Liu Piao fluttered up and stared at Lu Ji's face and said, "Your Highness, I can read palms."

Lu Ji snorted, and looked at her mischievously, "The fifth girl, how about my palm reading?"

"Your Highness is the destiny of the Ninth Five-Year Lord, but the marriage is not very good. If you accidentally marry the wrong person, you will easily be killed." Liu Piaopiao's voice lowered, "I said last time that the most suitable for Your Highness Your noble daughter is Bai Ziyan, and now it seems that she is not as expected."

Lu Ji knew what Liu Piaopiao meant, he deliberately pretended not to see it.

"Fifth Miss regretted it? After returning my crescent moon pendant, why did you speak ill of Miss Bai behind her back?"

Liu Piaopiao didn't feel ashamed at being teased by Lu Ji, but just looked serious: "I'm just a concubine, and I never thought about Your Highness. It's just that the authorities are obsessed and bystanders are clear. Your Highness thinks who is most likely to do today's assassination."

Lu Ji tilted his head, pursed his lips and did not speak.Seeing this, Liu Piaopiao sighed, "Looks like the second prince, but it only takes an hour and a half to change from Fengyue Yaju to the cruise ship. Who can arrange the assassin in such a fast time. Unless you have a thorough understanding of this cruise ship , and just waiting for an opportunity. Although I was raised in a deep boudoir, I also know that this boat belongs to Miss Bai."

"Before the assassin showed up, she was already planning to leave the meeting. When the assassin showed up, she disappeared early. It really makes people suspicious."

Lu Ji didn't answer her words, she looked at Liu Piaopiao's hand.The fingers are very thin, and the nails are round with a touch of pink.How did such lovely hands kill that assassin without blinking an eye.

"Liu Piaopiao, aren't you afraid?"

The man's voice trembled, he was extremely wronged, and the look of wanting to cry was mixed with deep heart palpitations and fear.

"Why are you not afraid, but I have received His Highness's favor, how can I put His Highness in danger."

"Then what if that person kills you with a backhanded sword, what do you call me!"

Lu Ji stood up, he was really tall, the shadow cast by him completely covered Liu Piaopiao.Like a rabbit that fell into the hands of a demon king, it looks pitiful with tears in its eyes.But Lu Ji knew that no matter what, he couldn't underestimate this rabbit. It hurts to bite people.

His sinister eyebrows and eyes, and his churning anger seemed to be blowing towards his face with countless ice and snow wrapped in cold wind.Liu Piaopiao was so frightened that she didn't even dare to open her eyes, so she could only call out timidly, Your Highness.

In the end, Lu Ji was defeated, and he knelt down on one leg in despair, protecting Liu Piaopiao in a safe range in a supportive gesture.There was a trace of bewilderment in the usually calm voice, "If you die, what should I do, Liu Piaopiao, you are scaring me to death."

Liu Piaopiao was stunned, she blinked and shed tears.It's just that Lu Ji was wiped away secretly by her before he saw it, and she still looked at Lu Ji with the same expression as before.More than respectful, but not the slightest love.

"Your Highness, it's better to stay away from Miss Bai. Although there are many rumors that you are going to marry Miss Bai, whether it is a certainty or not, it's too late to regret it now."

Looking at Liu Piaopiao's concerned look, Lu Ji felt a surge of joy in his heart.He has never been wary of Liu Piaopiao, and this is the first person he wants to confide in since he was a child.
"I spread the rumors."

Now Liu Piaopiao's eyes widened, "What?"

Lu Ji smiled, showing some pride like a fox.

"Shang Shuling doesn't look like a female favorite when she's old. It's not a secret that Bai Ziyan likes her second child. Now I'm spreading the rumors. She cares about her daughter's face and rarely walks with her second child recently. You know how much you hate me."

"But Your Highness, why are you doing this?"

Lu Ji's eyes were heavy, but he looked at Liu Piaopiao gently.

"Because Shang Shuling has always been neutral, if Bai Ziyan really married the second child, all the courtiers who have not yet stood in line will turn against them. After this period of time, Lu Yan will marry the concubine daughter of the great Sima, and then nothing will happen. Yes. Lord Bai will never let his daughter be a concubine with his integrity."

Liu Piaopiao still felt that something was wrong, "How could the dignified prince marry a concubine?"

This was originally Duan Xinmi, but Lu Ji knew Liu Piaopiao's personality so he said it with confidence.

"A few years ago, in Qiu Lie, the second child was almost bitten to death by a wolf. It was Wang Yuxi who saved him and ruined half of his face. For this kindness, he should also marry someone."

Liu Piaopiao thought back carefully, Yunjing was full of luxury, but she rarely heard about Wang Yuxi.In other words, it seemed that this person was simply removed from the celebrity list in Yunjing.Even if it was me, the few daughters who played well with Liu Yufu knew it.And Wang Yuxi was indeed too obscure.

She frowned: "Is it okay to be a concubine? Da Sikong's status is also very high."

Lu Ji sighed immediately, "Because concubines can be abandoned at any time."

Because concubines are not important and are not valued by the mother's family, they are outside the center of power.

These words undoubtedly hit Liu Piaopiao's heart, she instantly turned pale, and couldn't help guessing that maybe Lu Ji thought the same way.

But Lu Ji didn't, he was still smiling, without beating around the bush at all.

"But you are different. Even if you are nothing, you are still very important in my heart."

Liu Piaopiao smiled, "Your Highness was joking, Piaopiao didn't think so much."

Hearing what she said, Lu Ji was not in a hurry to defend, but raised his hand to brush away Liu Piaopiao's broken hair.

"Piao Piao, you'd better comb your hair up to look good."

Liu Piaopiao knew that Lu Ji was encouraging her to hold her head up and be more confident, but Liu Piaopiao was beaten to pieces by the saying that a concubine can be discarded at any time.He didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he didn't even know when Lu Ji left.It was He Zhi who called her to react.

"what happened?"

He Zhi's face was full of worry: "Girl, why are you so dumb, the crown prince has been gone for a long time."

"Oh." She replied, not knowing what to say.

He Zhi hugged her with concern: "Girl, don't take it to heart, what kind of concubine and concubine daughter, let's just live our lives well."

Liu Piaopiao knew this was the reason, she was the least concerned about this in the past.Her background was there, and she couldn't change it just by resenting her.It's just that when these words came out of Lu Ji's mouth, she always felt very uncomfortable.

"It's not dawn yet, girl, let's go to sleep again."

Liu Piaopiao nodded, and suddenly found an earring beside the bed.

Isn't this what she lost in the chaos before, but it was found by He Zhi.

Her heart warmed up, "Thank you, He Zhi, for remembering this little thing."

He Zhi was also puzzled, "What is it, girl?"

Liu Piaopiao was taken aback, if the earrings were not picked up by He Zhi, it would be Lu Ji.He actually remembered this little thing.Liu Piaopiao put the earrings away properly, feeling inexplicably happy again.It was a sweet sleep.

On the second day, she got up refreshed and followed Liu Wenyan home. Liu Piaopiao looked at Lu Ji and Lu Yan's guard of honor along the way, and anyone who looked at her would know that she had something on her mind.

Liu Wenyan waved his hand in front of her eyes, reminding her unwillingly.

"Liu Piaopiao don't want a toad to want to eat swan meat. His Royal Highness doesn't like you. Don't get dizzy because of his goodness, and lose your daughter's reputation in vain."

Liu Piaopiao didn't bother to look at him, so she just said, "I'm a toad, what are you? A big toad?"

Liu Wenyan was so angry with her that she wanted to hit him through the curtain.Liu Piaopiao retracted her head into the sedan chair.The lazy voice made Liu Wenyan's teeth itch.

"You should still worry about yourself. When I go back, my father will ask you what you have done."

Speaking of this, Liu Wenyan was a little timid, "Last night was really scary."

Speaking of last night, Liu Piaopiao got angry.

"What are you afraid of with so many guards, but whoever pounces on them to make a show, no matter if they save the second prince or the crown prince, they will all be prosperous in the future."

But Liu Wenyan pointed at Liu Piaopiao and cursed: "Why are you so calm, what if the sword has no eyes and you hurt your life? Don't think I don't know, you just don't want to see me."

It is difficult for a big man to be indecisive like a woman.

Liu Piaopiao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and ordered He Zhi to drive away Zhou Wenqing who was following behind.

She felt sick when she saw him.

He Zhi came back soon with a word.

"Girl, Zhou Wenqing said that rumors are spreading in the city, saying that you don't have the face to pester His Highness the Crown Prince."

Liu Piaopiao settled down, "What else did he say?"

"He let the girl do it for herself."

Liu Piaopiao smiled, the corners of her lips curved slightly in a mocking way.

"He Zhi, do you think there is a future with the prince or with his little Zuo Changshi?"

"Of course it's the prince."

"So what's the gossip?"

The words are spoken by outsiders, but the life is lived by oneself.

Who doesn't know how to say a few nasty words, whether it's slander or arrangement.Even Emperor Taizu, didn't he come here after being spit all the way here.When that high authority reaches the point, all the rumors will disappear.

Liu Piaopiao has always been open-minded, saying that none of this will affect her appetite for food.

After entering the gate of Liu Mansion, Liu Piaopiao was already prepared to be scolded and kneel down in the ancestral hall.Someone must have reported everything that happened yesterday to Liu Yirong in detail.

But when she entered the house, she realized that what happened yesterday was nothing.

Su Xiao was crying out of breath in the hall, her illness was just getting better, how could she stand such a toss, Liu Piaopiao rushed to meet her, half kneeling on the ground, and put her hand on Su Xiao's knee to comfort her: "What's the matter, sister-in-law, why are you crying like this?"

Su Xiaohong narrowed her eyes, pointed at Liu Wenyan, who didn't understand, and said sharply, "Ask what this bastard has done?"

Liu Wenyan was puzzled: "What do I care?"

Just as he was talking, several women came over from the backyard.Liu Piaopiao took a closer look, only to see these women surrounded by a young girl.That girl's willow-leaf eyebrows and snake-like waist are really alluring.She looked weak, but in fact, she didn't fall into a disadvantage after being entangled with a few women. Instead, she fell down crying when she saw Liu Wenyan, knelt on the ground and cried out weakly.

"Wen Yan, Mei Niang, I have such a hard life!"

Before Liu Piaopiao understood, she saw Liu Yufu rushing out like the wind, and her raised slap fell hard on Mei Niang's face.

"You bitch deserves to see your father!"

This slap was so powerful that Liu Yufu was slapped around.

Seeing Liu Wenyan, she rushed over in a hurry: "You did a good job. You made this bitch come to the door and dirty Zhongshuling's mansion for nothing! This bitch has a child in his arms and asks you to explain it, but the sister-in-law's natal family Here, knowing this, I almost fainted with anger. Now that I am going to divorce Liu Anxu, it will spread the Liu family's face! You, now, drag this bitch out and beat him to death!"

Liu Wenyan was pulled by Liu Yufu, her eyes were full of tears from Mei Niang's mother-in-law.

The woman was sitting on the ground, her cheeks were swollen and her figure was weak and boneless. I felt sorry for her.

"Wen Yan, are you really so cruel? This is your first child!"

After hearing this, Liu Wenyan couldn't care less about losing face, so he pushed Liu Yufu away, helped Mei Niang to comfort the crying woman.

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you a title!"

Hearing that Su Xiao couldn't bear it anymore, she felt full of grievances and had nothing to say to Liu Piaopiao, and turned into a long sigh.

"Liu Wenyan, where did you put me?"

Liu Wenyan didn't look at Su Xiao, maybe because he felt guilty, maybe because he was tired of this original partner.

"You are the one who wants to marry me, and I didn't ask to marry you."

Not to mention Su Xiao, even Liu Yufu couldn't stand it.She was pushed somersault by Liu Wenyan, and she was already angry.This time he was even more angry and trembling. He got up from the ground, and without caring about the face of the aristocratic family, he pulled Liu Wenyan by the collar and cursed: "You bastard spoils his concubine and kills his wife. Father is now appeasing the Su family. You It's inconvenient for me to make trouble in front of him. But don't forget, I'm going to be the princess. If you make such a fuss, I'm going to be the joke of the whole Yunjing! It's fine if you don't care about yourself, family member Regardless of appearance. You and this bitch die together!"

Liu Wenyan opened Liu Yufu's hand: "What spring and autumn dream are you doing? Haven't you heard enough rumors in the city? Then let me tell you carefully. When he was assassinated yesterday, His Royal Highness took off his outer robe to cover Liu Yufu himself. Piao Piao. He would rather be entangled with a concubine than look at you, Liu Yufu, you are such a joke!"

Liu Yufu completely collapsed, she screamed: "Shut up!"
