Chapter 54 Life and Death

As soon as he opened the door, Lin Zhiyu found that the room was quiet and there was no movement at all.

"Xiaolian? Lin Xiaolian?"

I called several times but didn't hear any response.

The uneasy feeling in my heart is getting stronger and stronger. This girl must not do anything stupid!
  Lin Zhiyu prayed secretly in his heart.

"Miss, you are back."

It was Xiaolian's voice. She came in from the backyard with one hand behind her back.

Lin Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but soon noticed the hand she had deliberately hidden.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Lin Zhiyu looked serious. He took the hand behind Lin Xiaolian and pulled up the sleeve. Several shocking blood stains came into view.

Lin Xiaolian unnaturally tried to retract her hand: "It's nothing, I scratched it accidentally."

"Accidentally? Tell me how careless you have to be to scratch your wrist?" Lin Zhiyu was a little angry.

Looking at the scar, it was obviously caused by a sharp weapon. Fortunately, the wound was relatively shallow and only a few drops of blood seeped out.

Seeing that her thoughts were broken, Lin Xiaolian looked a little embarrassed: "Miss, I feel that I have no face to live in this world, but at that moment, I can't do anything. Isn't it ridiculous?"

Lin Zhiyu pulled Xiaolian into the house, found the medicine box and bandaged her carefully: "Xiaolian, you know, life is always more courageous than death."

Just like when she was in the cold palace, she also thought about getting over it, but at that time, a little palace maid who brought her food lowered her head and said this to her.

At that time, she thought it was Zhou Tingchen's message to her, so she relied on her remaining faith to survive.

But she didn't expect that Lin Minghua would personally set a fire. After all, she didn't wait for her own light.

"Xiao Lian, I have taken care of everything. No one will know what happened today."

In this era, women value their reputation the most. If they don't do this, the prejudiced saliva of the world may send Xiaolian to a point of no return.

"Miss, did you promise something to Jiang Zhaoyi?" Lin Xiaolian grabbed Lin Zhiyu's arm and asked eagerly.

Lin Zhiyu said easily: "Not really, I just owe her a favor."

"It's not worth it for Miss to do this for me." Lin Xiaolian lowered her head and her voice was muffled, "Miss herself said that Jiang Zhaoyi has a deep mind and cannot have a close relationship with her."

"Now that I've done this, if you still want to seek death, then you really can't stop loving me." Lin Zhiyu touched the top of Lin Xiaolian's hair, "As long as you can cross the hurdle in your heart, there is nothing wrong with you. Can prevent you from regaining your life."

"reborn?"

Lin Xiaolian trembled slightly and touched the wound on her wrist that had just been bandaged.

She stood up again, the expression on her face was no longer as confused as before, but became firm, as if she had made some kind of determination, and knelt down to Lin Zhiyu: "Miss, you have saved me twice, this life , from now on it belongs to the young lady."

She kowtowed hard to Lin Zhiyu two or three times again.

Lin Zhiyu was about to reach out to pull her, but Lin Xiaolian was very persistent. She didn't stand up until she kowtowed for the third time, following Lin Zhiyu's strength.

She couldn't say anything more. If this could give Lin Xiaolian the confidence to survive, it would be a good idea.

The despair is that everyone present knows that Lin Xiaolian has been framed, but there is no evidence to prove her innocence.

Everyone was clamoring for her to die, as if this way they could blame the mistake on her and the matter could be easily dismissed.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in Lin Zhiyu's mind.

Is this the bet you're talking about?

Her gentle eyes became colder little by little.

Soon Qiaoxiu brought the imperial doctor over to check Lin Xiaolian's body.

Lin Zhiyu originally wanted to go to Liu'er and ask him everything about yesterday, but after Xiaolian experienced this, she became sensitive and thoughtful. He was worried that she would suddenly be unable to think about things, so he had to stay by her side. At this time, Zhuang Younan was leaning in front of the window, looking in the direction of Lin Zhiyu's wing, his eyes heavy, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Empress, the prescription has been handed over to Liu'er."

Bao'er opened the door and came in, whispering.

Zhuang Younan held a red tassel in his hand and seemed to be still immersed in his own world.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Seeing that Zhuang Younan didn't reply for a long time, Bao'er took two steps forward and waved his hand in front of her eyes.

Zhuang Younan finally came back from his thoughts and looked down at the tassels in his hand: "Tell me, how did Lin Zhiyu do it?"

Bao'er then told everything that happened in Jiang Tong's wonderful room.

"I heard from others that the eldest girl seemed to be possessed by a ghost. She dragged Jiang Tongmiao into the inner room."

Zhuang Younan fell into deep thought again.

So this is the solution?

Yes, yes, I had strictly followed etiquette before and had never thought about it in this direction.

But the price to pay for doing so was extremely high. She was not alone. There was Zhuang Xiao who couldn't let her give it a try.

"Bao'er, what do you think of Lin Zhiyu?"

After a moment of silence, Zhuang Younan asked slowly.

Although Bao'er didn't know why Zhuang Younan suddenly asked like this, he still answered truthfully: "The older girl is smart and calm, and often wins with ingenuity."

"How does it compare with this palace?"

Bao'er hesitated for a moment: "It can be compared with the empress."

After hearing this answer, Zhuang Younan suddenly laughed loudly. Her look was crazy, which was so different from her gentle appearance that it made people shudder.

"Okay, okay! If that's the case, I'm relieved."

She held the tassel tightly in her hand, smiled, and bent down, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"Your Majesty, the eldest girl has been pointed out to the Third Prince. If...it is really inappropriate."

Baoer was a little uneasy.

At that time, almost all the men in the General's Mansion died in the Tianma Incident. The General's wife lost her son and husband all at once, and she also lost her son and husband in extreme sadness. The once-prominent General's Mansion also fell.

As the only daughter, Zhuang Younan was forced to support the hopes of the whole family. As Bao'er, as a personal maid, he had seen her sitting in front of the window many times late at night, her eyes dull and her tears falling like broken pearls.

"Isn't it right? The man is unmarried and the girl is unmarried, why is it wrong?" Zhuang Younan suddenly raised his head and looked directly into Bao'er's eyes, "As long as you haven't worshiped heaven and earth, who cares whether you have been engaged or not?"

After she finished speaking, she covered her face again and cried softly: "Xiao'er is a miserable child, this is the best way!"

Bao'er was already used to it. He helped Zhuang Younan up, let her lean on him, and walked towards the bed.

"My dear, please rest here for now, and my servant will bring you the medicine right now."

At this time, Zhuang Younan was like a child, pulling on Bao'er's sleeve: "What about father? When will he come back?"

Bao'er sighed: "Mother, the general will not come back."

She pulled her sleeves away from Zhuang Younan's hand, and when she didn't hear Zhuang Younan crying behind her, she walked out of the room without looking back.

Empress, if this can make you feel better, then cry as much as you want.

Bao'er leaned behind the door and took a deep breath, his eyes already slightly red.
