Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 40 The First Test of Sincerity

Chapter 40

The ancient starry sky was particularly pure and bright. The stars all over the sky are like the tears of a beautiful woman, and they are especially brilliant in the night sky like splashed ink.And watching the starry sky in this observatory building is even more beautiful.

Lin Zijiang glanced at the bright night sky, and said slowly: "Although I have not been here for a long time, I have also met two members of the royal family other than King Yue. One is the current emperor and the other is King Yin. Chu Yue is very different. The emperor is extravagant and dissipated, the harem is full of beauties, and he knows how to enjoy himself. Although King Yin is gentle and self-effacing, he does not like luxury, but he also travels in the mountains and rivers, enjoying himself."

Lin Zijiang paused, and then said: "But Chu Yue, I have never seen him really smile. There is a beautiful girl like Xue Yuliu by his side, but he is unmoved, even though he is in charge of half of the soldiers and horses in Chu State , but I don't see him happy for having these powers... Even though he seems to have great ambitions, I always feel that it is not what he really wants to pursue... No matter when he is always preoccupied, all He has to hide his joys, sorrows and sorrows in his heart and bear them alone. He wraps himself up every day and puts on a look of 'don't get close to strangers'. In fact, he should be very lonely in his heart... You don't think such a person is pitiful ?"

In fact, there are still many places that Lin Zijiang didn't mention.For example, the shocking number of scars on Chu Yue's body, for Lin Zijiang, who was also experienced in many battles, of course, she knew that they were the scars left by an incredible number of wounds.There is also the strange poison that tortured him every fifteenth day of every month, all of which reminded Lin Zijiang that Chu Yue must have experienced something.

Li Shang didn't answer, because he was already stunned after hearing Lin Zijiang's words.He had been with Chu Yue for almost three years. Although he also felt that the prince was very mysterious and difficult to understand, he never expected that Lin Zijiang would be able to say this after only being in contact with the prince for a month, as if he knew him very well.

But at this moment, Chu Yue who was listening to all this in the star gaze pavilion was also stunned.He thought that no one in this world could understand his thoughts and read his heart, but Lin Zijiang saw through his pretended indifference.

Although Lin Zijiang saw through it, Chu Yue didn't seem to be angry, but a strange warmth flowed from the bottom of his heart, as if he was no longer alone.Chu Yue was stunned by this strange feeling in his heart, and the teacup he was holding slipped from his hand with a crisp sound.

Li Shang was startled when he heard the sound, and he looked at Lin Zijiang worriedly.

However, Lin Zijiang was a little confused at the moment, he didn't pay attention to the voice in the room, but said to Li Shang with a smile: "Now...it's time for me to ask you."

Li Shang smiled wryly, and said, "Are you going to ask me how I got the injury on my face?"

But Lin Zijiang blinked and said, "No, I want to ask you... what kind of woman do you like."

After Lin Zijiang finished speaking, he smiled mysteriously. Naturally, he asked this question on behalf of Lianqiao.

Li Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, he lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his eyes, stared straight at Lin Zijiang and said: "Frank, kind, loyal..."

"Really?" Lin Zijiang became excited when he heard the words, and then slowly approached Li Shang and said, "I just know a girl..."

But before he finished speaking, Lin Zijiang passed out from drunk.

Seeing this, Li Shang smiled helplessly, stood up, and gently lifted Lin Zijiang's upper body to let her sit on the railing.

After drinking, the bloodstains on Lin Zijiang's face seemed to become more bright red, but at this moment in Li Shang's eyes, it was extremely beautiful.

He couldn't help but want to touch Lin Zijiang's cheek with his hands, but at this moment the door to the attic opened.

"My lord."

Li Shang immediately withdrew his hand in panic, stood up and said.

But Chu Yue didn't look at him, but walked straight to Lin Zijiang.

He stopped in front of Lin Zijiang, looking thoughtfully at the woman in front of him.

From time to time, there was a wind blowing from the Star Observation Tower, and the breeze brushed Lin Zijiang's hair to his cheeks.Lin Zijiang, who was sleeping, felt itchy on his face, so he rubbed it with his hands indiscriminately.

Seeing this, Chu Yue stretched out his hand towards Lin Zijiang's face.

"My lord." Seeing this scene, Li Shang blurted out worriedly.

But Chu Yue ignored him, but gently pinned Lin Zijiang's hair behind his ears with his hands.

Seeing this scene, Li Shang was completely stunned.He had never seen the prince treat a woman so tenderly.

But what shocked him even more was that the next second, Chu Yue had picked up Lin Zijiang and walked towards the attic.

Chu Yue put Lin Zijiang on the bed in Guanxing Pavilion, then walked out, and said to Li Shang, "You stay outside the door tonight and take good care of her."

After finishing speaking, Chu Yue turned and left.

Seeing the back of the prince leaving, Li Shang only felt that his mood was extraordinarily complicated.Although Lin Zijiang didn't seem to say anything wrong, let the prince offend her.But the way the prince looked at her was obviously different, which made Li Shang feel more deeply worried.

……

Lin Zijiang didn't wake up until noon the next day.

She opened her eyes in a daze, only to see a strange woman standing beside the bed looking at her, she immediately sat up in shock.

"The girl is awake?" the strange woman asked.

Only then did Lin Zijiang look at her carefully. She was also wearing the same clothes as himself, so she must be a maid of the palace.But why is she in my room?
But after seeing the surrounding environment clearly, Lin Zijiang realized that this was not the room she lived in Wutong Garden at all. The furnishings and the size of the room here were much better than her own room.

So Lin Zijiang quickly asked, "Where is this?"

And the woman immediately said with a smile on her face, "This is Guanxing Pavilion."

"What?" Hearing this, Lin Zijiang quickly jumped up from the bed.She must have drunk too much last night and accidentally fell asleep here.This is only a place for Chu Yue to rest, servants are not allowed to enter, and she is still sleeping on Chu Yue's bed.If Chu Yue knew about this, it would be a disaster for her.

Lin Zijiang thought in his heart: This fellow Li Shang is too disloyal, he actually slipped away by himself and didn't take me with him?But for now, I'd still go for the best policy.

Lin Zijiang was about to slip away, but he didn't want to be held back by that woman.

"Where are you going, girl? I'd better let the servant wait for you to wash your face."

Only then did Lin Zijiang discover that there was this witness, so he quickly pulled the woman and said, "Don't tell the prince what you found out about me here today. I will pay you to keep quiet."

But the woman shook her head in doubt and said: "What is the girl talking about? How could the prince not know, it is the prince who asked the slaves to take care of you."

"What?" Lin Zijiang yelled, "You said the prince sent you here?"

"That's right, the prince even asked his servants to bring the girl lunch." The woman pointed to the dining table beside her.

Lin Zijiang looked in the direction of her finger, and saw many exquisite dishes on the table, including vegetables and soup, and each plate contained meat!She is not dreaming, this is much better than what she usually eats.

All of this is really suspicious, Lin Zijiang swallowed, finally moved his eyes away from those dishes, and asked: "Then... the lord, did he say anything else?"

"The lord said, let the girl go to the study to find him after eating."

Hearing this, Lin Zijiang sighed in his heart.Look, the consequences are coming, and Chu Yue will definitely have an attack at that time.

But Lin Zijiang still felt something was wrong, especially the attitude of the girl in front of her towards her.Except for Hanxiao and Lianqiao, the maids in the palace never gave her a good look, especially when they saw her face, they were either contemptuous or disgusted, and some were afraid.But why does this woman keep smiling at her, and her smile...is very fake.It seems that she is deliberately trying to please herself, but she has nothing to please others.
