The rebirth of the concubine and concubine

Chapter 55 Asking for a Marriage
"So that's the case, so can we be friends?"

Shen Xinru stuck out her tongue, looked at Lin Zixi who was still expressionless and asked.

"..."

Lin Zixi didn't answer her, suddenly the lights went out, screams came from all around, and white smoke suddenly filled the boat.

"Cover your nose and mouth!"

Shen Xinru quickly reminded, then covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and dragged Lin Zixi to hide in a corner.Lin Zixi's eyes flashed, she looked at Shen Xinru and said nothing.

Soon, several men in black rushed up in the boat and surrounded the crowd. Xuan Zijun couldn't move away to look for Lin Zixi for a moment, anxious that the sword in his hand became more and more ruthless.

The woman's screams were heard from all around, and Lin Zixi felt Shen Xinru's hand holding her wrist slightly tightened and pinched her with some pain.Shen Xinru seemed to realize that she quickly let go of her hand and said softly.

"Shh...they're here to kill you!"

Lin Zixi felt Shen Xinru's body trembling slightly because of fear, which was close to her, and seemed to understand something.Standing up suddenly, if I don't show up at this time, these people will definitely kill all the ladies on this boat, and if I let people in their families know that I will become a target of public criticism.

"I am here!"

All she can do now is fight hard, holding the sleeve arrow tightly. Lin Zixi stood in the darkness and shot a few arrows "swish" at the man in black who suddenly turned around, and the man in black fell to the ground.

Then, pull Shen Xinru to hide in another corner, the moonlight shines into the window, reflecting on the man in black who came to the window, Lin Zixi shoots an arrow again, right in the center.

At this moment, Lin Zixi suddenly felt a chill rising from behind her, Shen Xinru who was beside her before she could turn her head threw her to the ground, and the two of them rolled on the ground several times.And before the man in black had time to raise the knife after he slashed, the head had already rolled several feet away, hot blood gushed out and sprayed on Lin Zixi and Shen Xinru's bodies.

Lin Zixi only felt that she was held in her arms by a pair of big hands. When she raised her head, it was Xuan Zijun with a bloody face. After wiping off the blood on his face, she was slightly relieved to find that he was fine.

"You're fine."

"If you're fine, I'm fine."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and soon the dark guards rushed up to deal with the men in black.When the lights came on, Lin Zixi searched for Shen Xinru and found Shen Xinru in a corner beside her, who was being bandaged by her brother.

It turned out that just now, Shen Xinru hugged Lin Zixi and rolled to the side, but her arm was injured so she couldn't hold Lin Zixi tightly, so she just fell at Lin Yibo's feet.Lin Yibo came to the rescue and helped her.

Looking at her brother's cautious appearance, and seeing Shen Xinru looking at Lin Yibo shyly with a pink face, Lin Zixi smiled slightly and did not step forward to disturb the two of them.

Soon, the palace boat stopped at the shore, everyone disembarked one after another, and went to the palace after tidying up in a secluded place.However, at this time, the palace banquet had already begun.

The sound of Sizhu Yaoqin kept going, and they didn't know that such a thing happened here in Qushui.

"You knew something was going to happen tonight, so you took me to hide first?"

Lin Zixi looked back at Shen Xinru who was approaching her, and said without beating around the bush.

"I...I really can't bear it. I overheard the conversation between my mother and my sister, saying that I want to kill you!"

Shen Xinru lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes and was about to shed tears.

"Then do you know how many lives were killed because of your intolerance?"

There was no trace of pity in Lin Zixi's eyes, she stared at the noble and innocent young lady in front of her.A person like her shouldn't be born in that filthy house to fight with others.Although Shen Xinru didn't know about this incident, she was an accomplice indirectly.

"You mean? Mother and sister..."

Shen Xinru bit her lower lip tightly, she never thought that the two closest to her would treat her as a pawn, no, she didn't believe it!Raising his head, his tear-filled eyes trembled a little, like delicate flowers that had been blown by the wind.

"My sister hurt you last time, you hate her..."

Hearing this, Lin Zixi smiled coolly.

"It seems that you are not stupid to have such an awareness."

Before Shen Xinru could recall her words, Lin Zixi turned and left the room.Shen Xinru wanted to know if her mother and sister really regarded her as a chess piece, and when they saw Lin Yibo and Xuan Zijun waiting at the door, they swallowed the words middle.

"How many people died?"

Instead of taking the water, Lin Zixi asked Xuan Zijun softly.

"The two young ladies of Shi Hanlin's family and the daughter of Mei Shangshu's family were injured a little bit. They are both well-known talented women in the imperial capital. The emperor values ​​them very much..."

There is no need for Mr. Xuan Zi to continue to speak, Lin Zixi already understood.It seems that this time, Mrs. Lu Guogong not only wants to borrow a knife to kill someone, but also wants to pave the way for the future of her two daughters.

If the other party knew that her daughter was implicated because of herself, she would definitely become the target of public criticism.Mrs. Lu Guogong was not only able to get rid of herself, but also her two daughters who were the biggest enemies.

It seems that she underestimated Mrs. Lu Guogong, since she wants to play, then she will fulfill her!
"Hurry up and go to the palace, I guess there will be lots of fun tonight."

The corner of Lin Zixi's mouth twitched into a sneer, and the meaningful smile that Wang Zixian gave her before boarding the boat flashed in her mind.Originally thought that the matter on the boat was arranged by him, since it was not, then a good show must be waiting for them in the palace.

All the way to Pixiang Hall, everyone has arrived.Probably the emperor also knew the reason, and didn't ask how many people came late, and they took their seats as usual.Seeing Lin Zixi sitting down, Mrs. Han hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked in her own voice.

"Did something happen? Your clothes are not the same as when you came!"

"But it got wet when I got off the boat, so I changed it."

Lin Zixi didn't want Han Shi to worry, so she prevaricated casually.From the beginning to the end, he kept his head down, just watching everyone from the corner of his eye.

On the left side of the emperor sat a few women in splendid crowns and brocade clothes, they were the imperial concubine and several concubines.

The emperor seemed like a normal person, with his arms around Concubine Li, who was said to be the new favorite concubine in the palace for a year.As for the other concubines, they sat on the right according to their identities, with different expressions, and they were not easy to provoke.The prince sat at the bottom, followed by the princes, and then the ministers, and the family members sat around.

At this time, all the people rushed to present their hard-earned treasures, hoping to get a nod from the imperial concubine, so as to make the emperor happy.This empress dowager is the adoptive mother of the emperor. Although she has never ascended to the position of empress dowager, she is deeply respected by the emperor.
