Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 39

In Nanlin Garden, Chu Yue's study was once again dark.This has been Chu Yue's habit for many years. No matter how dark the sky is, no matter how important things he wants to do here, he is unwilling to light a lamp... because he hates light.

"Why did you disappear for so long this time?" Chu Yue said to a black shadow standing in front of him.

Although the light in the room is very dark, but from the figure of the shadow, one can vaguely recognize that this person is Li Shang.

"This subordinate knows that he has neglected his duty, so he really has no face to face the prince again."

However, Chu Yue immediately said in a calm voice: "Do you know what will happen to you if you lie in front of me."

"Subordinates dare not." Li Shang hurriedly said in panic.

"You felt ashamed of her so you disappeared on purpose..."

Chu Yue snorted coldly, and then said, "It's really useless. That day you and this king designed to deceive her, but it was just a plan. It was her own attempt to play tricks, and this king asked you to design her just to test her. It's just the real intention. Besides, the king didn't embarrass her afterwards. In fact, she should thank you, she is much freer now as the king's maid than as the nameless princess."

Hearing this, Li Shang remained silent, his eyes filled with confusion.How could the prince understand that these days, his mind has been echoing what Lin Zijiang said to him in the dungeon that day. It turned out that she really regarded herself as a friend, and she was the only one after she became this ghost. Someone who wasn't afraid to look him in the face and was willing to risk his life to save himself.But he actually lied to her. If she finds out the truth in the future, she will probably hate or even hate herself because of it.

For some reason, Li Shang was very afraid that Lin Zijiang would know the truth, and he didn't dare to imagine how she hated him, so he avoided Lin Zijiang these days.

"I asked you to come today because I want you to do something for me." Chu Yue said.

And Li Shang seemed to have a premonition, his expression became very solemn, it seems that I have to lie to her again.

……

In the phoenix tree garden, the setting sun is casting mottled light and shadows on the open space in front of the courtyard through the sparse and dense phoenix leaves, trying to leave the last afterglow of today in this quiet courtyard.

At this moment, Lin Zijiang was closing his eyes, enjoying the rare tranquility by listening to the rustling sound of the sycamore leaves made by the breeze.Suddenly there was a strange sound, Lin Zijiang opened his eyes, and saw a flower made of sycamore leaves rolling on the stone table in front of him.

Approaching the stone table, Lin Zijiang took the flower-shaped sycamore leaves and unfolded them in his hands.

I saw it said: Tonight at midnight, the Star Tower.

Lin Zijiang couldn't help but shook his head, Li Shang, it's fine to come here to talk about something, what's the mystery?But these few words made Lin Zijiang feel much better immediately.

After disappearing for so long, this guy finally appeared.According to Lianqiao, did he figure it out by himself?Lin Zijiang had no friends in his previous life, so Lin Zijiang cherishes the feelings of people who are sincere to him in this life, such as Forsythia, Hanxiao, Lishang and Yueqin.

At that time, Lin Zijiang managed to escape several groups of patrolling guards and came to the Star Observation Tower.From a distance, Li Shang could be seen sitting by the wooden railing.Lin Zijiang couldn't help but worry while walking, this Star Observation Tower is one of the famous scenic spots in the palace, it is usually only used for stargazing or resting on the whim of the King of Yue, people like them are not allowed to come here, I really don't know Why did Li Shang ask for an appointment here? If someone found out, it would be a disaster for both of them.

As Lin Zijiang approached, Li Shang lifted a bottle of wine on the ground and asked Lin Zijiang, "Drink?"

Lin Zijiang took the wine with a smile.She raised her head and took a big gulp. Although she was not bad at drinking, she rarely drank baijiu. Besides, the alcohol content of this ancient baijiu was not generally high, so Lin Zijiang felt a burning pain in her throat after taking a big gulp.

But Li Shang stared at her with some disbelief.

Lin Zijiang asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Shang paused, and said, "You drink it as soon as you take it, don't you worry about it being poisonous?"

Lin Zijiang froze for a moment, then said, "Didn't you give it to me? How could it be poisonous?"

Hearing this, Li Shang sighed, "Do you trust me that much?"

Lin Zijiang didn't think too much, and replied straightforwardly: "Of course, we lived and died together, and...you are my friend."

Lin Zijiang looked at the scar on Li Shang's face, recalling what Lian Qiao had told her about Li Shang, a trace of unbearableness flashed in his eyes.

Afraid that Li Shang would notice his eyes, Lin Zijiang shifted his gaze to the star-gazing pavilion in front of him. This is a place for Chu Yue to rest while watching the stars, but now the doors and windows are closed.

Immediately Lin Zijiang went to sit next to Li Shang, and asked, "What do you want me for?"

"It's nothing. I just feel bored and want to find... friends to drink and chat with."

"Haha... alright." After Lin Zijiang finished speaking, he had sex with Li Shang again.

After drinking for three rounds, Lin Zijiang was already slightly tipsy.

But Li Shang was very sober, he looked thoughtfully at the attic in front of him, and finally got to the point: "I've drank so much wine, why don't we chat?"

"Okay." Lin Zijiang stood up and replied.

"Do you still want to escape from the palace?" Li Shang asked.

"I think." Lin Zijiang replied without thinking.

Li Shang was stunned for a moment, and then asked again: "Then... do you really want to help the prince?"

Lin Zijiang thought for a while, and replied: "At first it was not voluntary, but later it was sincere. Because I will try my best to do what I promise to others... even if... that person is that bastard Chu Yue... "

Hearing this, Li Shang was startled in his heart, and then hesitantly asked: "Do you hate the prince?"

"Hate?" Lin Zijiang repeated with doubts.

"After all, he has ignored you since he got married, and he has also turned you from a noble princess into... a servant."

"This... this is not caused by him alone, but also Lin Zijin and that bastard emperor. And I have to blame myself... for entering this era by mistake... If I want to hate so many people, then I am too Are you tired? Besides, I can't do anything to them."

Lin Zijiang paused, and then continued: "I just hate Chu Yue. Because he never trusts others, he always has a lot of secrets, and he always doubts me...you know what...he looks so much like Chu Yue. I lost someone, no matter how much I pay, I can't reach that person's heart..."

As Lin Zijiang spoke, he thought of Master again.Although Chu Yin looks very similar to his master, Chu Yue's character is even more like his master.So staying by Chu Yue's side often made Lin Zijiang feel uncomfortable, because looking at Chu Yue, she would always think of her master involuntarily.Thinking of the fact that I gave everything in my previous life, but still couldn't get that person's heart, I just felt sad.

Perhaps it was catalyzed by the alcohol, but Lin Zijiang's tears welled up.

Seeing this, Li Shang was a little stunned, in his impression Lin Zijiang had always been very strong, and this was the first time he saw her cry.Even if she was beaten by Xue Yuliu before, she stubbornly did not shed a single tear.

So Li Shang was a little at a loss and said, "Are you crying?"

Hearing this, Lin Zijiang quickly wiped away the tears with his hands, and said, "Yes... I used to cry for only one person, but I won't have one in the future."

Hearing this, Li Shang was silent for another moment. At this moment, he only felt that his mood was very complicated. He looked at the Guanxing Pavilion beside him. Even if he disobeyed the prince's order, he really didn't want to ask any more when Lin Zijiang was so fragile. .

But Lin Zijiang continued: "Actually...sometimes I feel that Chu Yue is very pitiful."

"Why?" Li Shang asked in surprise.Because King Yue has always been a powerful but somewhat mysterious person in his eyes, it was the first time he heard someone describe the prince as pitiful, so he couldn't help feeling curious.

But at this moment, Chu Yue, who was sitting in the Observation Pavilion and listening to every move outside, was even more startled.

How could someone describe him as pitiful.
