Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 62 We Are Still Friends
Lin Zijiang went all the way back to Wutong Garden, feeling that the steps under his feet were very heavy.She knew that Aunt Qin must have some kind of conspiracy, and the "farmer" behind her must not be simple.Although he didn't know what their purpose was, Lin Zijiang always felt that it was not a good thing.If they had an opposing relationship with Chu Yue, how should I choose?
Suddenly remembered that when she first came here, both Chu Yue and Li Shang had reminded her to be careful of Aunt Qin, did they already know what Aunt Qin was up to?Then why didn't Chu Yue kill the spy directly to avoid future troubles?Thinking of that time when Aunt Qin asked herself to give Chu Yue the antidote, could it be that Chu Yue didn't dare to touch her because she controlled the antidote?The poison on Chu Yue's body is also her...?
All of this was too much to figure out, Lin Zijiang didn't know what to do, she only knew that she was getting deeper and deeper now, and had been involved in some conspiracy.

Suddenly, a small stone landed at Lin Zijiang's feet, making a slight sound.Immediately let her recover from the entanglement of various clues in her mind, and only then did she realize that she had returned to Wutong Garden.

Glancing at the stones on the ground, Lin Zijiang turned his head to look at the sycamore tree beside him, and sure enough, he saw a familiar black figure sitting on a branch.

Lin Zijiang approached, issued a 'broken blade', wrapped the iron chain around the branch, and then pulled it along the way, and also came to the branch where Li Shang was sitting.

The two sat side by side, Lin Zijiang said, "Why do you like to appear at night?"

Li Shang frowned and said, "It's too noisy during the daytime."

Lin Zijiang knew that he was talking about Forsythia, so he took the opportunity to say, "It would be nice to be noisy! You are so boring, if you have a lively and lovely woman by your side, wouldn't it just complement each other?"

But Li Shang didn't seem to listen, just shook his head helplessly.

He hesitated for a while, and finally said: "The emperor's birthday banquet is approaching, and you will soon resume your status as a princess."

When he said this, Li Shang felt a bit of bitterness in his heart.No matter what, she is always the princess, the prince's woman.And myself... what is it?

Hearing this, Lin Zijiang turned his head, caught Li Shang's disappointed eyes, and comforted him: "What does it matter, no matter what my identity is, aren't we all friends?"

But upon hearing this, Li Shang's expression became even more tangled.He lowered his head and said in a painful tone: "I don't deserve to be your friend. I... lied to you."

Li Shang wanted to continue, but Lin Zijiang interrupted him: "You mean the prison robbery, right?"

Hearing this, Li Shang raised his head, his eyes were full of surprise: "You already knew?"

Lin Zijiang smiled and said: "It's not too early, but you have been avoiding me since that time, and every time you see me, you always look sorry for me, so I probably guessed it. In fact, you didn't So I didn’t send a letter to me. I thought I was smart, thought I had tricked you, and planned how to escape, but I was played around by you. At that time, you must have thought that I was stupid. "

Hearing this, Li Shang said regretfully, "I'm sorry, I can't disobey the prince's order... But I didn't intend to lie to you... I really..."

Li Shang wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain, he hesitated for a long time, and said: "I know, I shouldn't have cheated your trust, and let you risk your life to save me... let you... because I was Trapped in the palace... I... I don't deserve to be your friend..."

After that, he was ready to get up and leave.

But Lin Zijiang immediately pressed his hand and asked, "Why? You want to run away again. Are you going to hide again?"

Li Shang replied bitterly: "I... have no face to stay by your side anymore, and I don't deserve to be your friend anymore."

"You have to admit when you make a mistake, and you have to solve a problem. If you make a mistake, you just hide. Are you still a man?" Lin Zijiang asked.

"solve?"

"That's right, you feel ashamed of me, is it hard?" Lin Zijiang asked again.

After finishing speaking, he took Li Shang's hand, and the two jumped down from the tree together.

Li Shang looked at Lin Zijiang wonderingly, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Solve it."

Before Lin Zijiang finished speaking, he punched Li Shang on the right side of the face, and Li Shang was caught off guard by this punch and took a step back.

Immediately afterwards, another punch landed on his left cheek.Li Shang didn't resist, because Lin Zijiang's fist could make him feel better.

Finally, Lin Zijiang stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder.Knees pressed against his stomach.

"It's settled now." Lin Zijiang let go of his hand and said.

Li Shang straightened up, touched his abdomen that had been hit hard, and looked at Lin Zijiang in confusion.

"In the past, if I saw someone upset, or someone offended me, I would give him a hard lesson to vent my anger, so that I would feel at ease, and he would not have to worry about it. Now that I hit you, it means that I I'm angry with you, so you don't have to blame yourself anymore."

Li Shang knew that Lin Zijiang was doing this to make himself feel better, so he immediately felt a warm feeling, showed gratitude, and said, "Thank you."

But immediately, he asked with some worry: "Then we will still be...friends in the future?"

"Let me ask you a question first." Lin Zijiang said, "If you had to choose between me and Chu Yue in the future, who would you choose?"

Hearing this, Li Shang showed embarrassment, and replied honestly: "My lord has saved my life, I really can't... I'm sorry."

Come on, Li Shang lowered his head, thinking, he also knew Lin Zijiang's answer.

However, Lin Zijiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's right, we are still friends."

"Why?" Li Shang had an expression of disbelief.

"Because you told me the truth. That's enough."

Hearing this, a rare smile appeared on Li Shang's face.The long scar was made even more unsightly, but he has no scruples now, because he knows that Lin Zijiang won't mind.

"You are really special..." Li Shang said with emotion.

Lin Zijiang said with a wry smile: "Really? I really feel that I am really unlucky. I long for freedom, but I can never decide my own destiny. I have to follow the path arranged for me by others. I know that someone has already dug a trap on the road and waited for me."

Lin Zijiang sighed, and continued, "Three days later, the emperor's birthday banquet will be held. Although I know that it is a grand banquet for me, I still have to go."

Hearing this, Li Shang's eyes flashed with distress.He hesitated for a moment, and said as if he had made up his mind: "I... will take you out of the palace!"

Lin Zijiang looked at him in shock when he heard this, but shook his head and said, "Thank you, no need."

"Why? You're free when you get out. Isn't that what you always wanted?"

Immediately, Li Shang seemed to have thought of something, and asked tentatively, "Could it be...are you reluctant to part with the prince?"

Hearing this, Lin Zijiang immediately shouted excitedly: "How is it possible?"

She curled her lips, thinking, even if there was, that person must be Chu Yin.But more importantly, she can't leave now. Aunt Qin's words are already there. If she doesn't agree, how can she leave the palace alive?

"It's just that I feel that this is the path that fate arranged for me, and I have to walk on my own," Lin Zijiang said.

But Li Shang obviously didn't believe it: "When will you believe in fate?"

The more you know, the more dangerous it is, Lin Zijiang doesn't intend to involve Li Shang.Therefore, she just said firmly: "In short, I will not leave."

After a long time, Li Shang sighed and compromised: "Okay, I respect your decision."

In fact, at that time he also said in his heart: Since you choose to stay, then I will always be by your side to protect you.
