Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 97

Xiao Lin jumped into the lake, the lake water stimulated his limbs with a slight coolness, not far away, a beautiful shadow was slowly falling, with wide-sleeved lace floating, like a fairy falling from the sky, dazzling.

In the darkness, Jing Ning only felt that his floating body was embraced by a warm and strong embrace, and that embrace led him out of the water and back to the hot and dry shore.

She knew which man would sacrifice his life to save her, but she didn't know who was willing to sacrifice his life to save her?

"Young Master Xiao!" Princess Pingting's sharp female voice pierced Jing Ning's ears, and she frowned imperceptibly.

His surname is Xiao?
Although Jing Ning closed her eyes, she was still conscious. She moved her head slightly to expose her right ear so that she could hear more clearly.

"Mr. Xiao! You, this, this woman, she, she jumped off by herself. It has nothing to do with me! Mr. Xiao, you have to believe me!" Princess Pingting bypassed the children blocking the front and squeezed to Xiao Lin. before.

Xiao Lin squatted beside Jing Ning without raising his head.

"Young Master Xiao!" Princess Pingting stomped her feet anxiously, but she didn't dare to attack because of face.

"Xiao only believes what Xiao sees, the princess doesn't need to say much." Xiao Lin raised his eyes, his eyes were as sharp as snow, as if he wanted to go straight into Princess Pingting's heart, to see the cause of the accident thoroughly.

Princess Pingting felt guilty for a while, she didn't dare to meet her, so she turned her head away and pretended to look into the distance.

"It's just..." Xiao Lin suddenly stood up and looked at her, "There is something that Xiao can't understand."

"Sir, please tell me!" Princess Pingting nodded slightly.

"Miss Zheng and the princess have a previous quarrel, but today the princess has apologized, and Miss Zheng has forgiven the princess, so why does the princess want to do this trick of framing people?" Xiao Lin accurately said, looking at Ping Princess Ting.

Princess Pingting took a step back, "How can I harm someone! She fell by herself, so what has nothing to do with me!" She raised her head, her almond eyes were full of tears, but there was some stubbornness in her eyes, as if she had a serious expression. The appearance of being wronged.

Xiao Lin didn't speak, just frowned and looked at each other.

"Who is making noise here and disturbing the interest of this palace." A dignified and majestic reprimand came from behind him, and everyone turned their heads, looking for the source of the voice.

Among the red flowers and green leaves in the garden, a woman with outstanding temperament slowly stepped out. The palace bun was high and the hairpin was covered with silver. There was a faint arrogance between the brows. noble.

"Greetings, Greetings to Concubine Lu!" Someone was the first to react and knelt down towards the woman, and the rest of them came to their senses and knelt down too.

"Mother!" Princess Pingting knelt, her face turned slightly pale, Princess Lu stood where she was, and caught a glimpse of Jing Ning lying beside her.

"What's the matter? Why is there someone still lying down?" She bypassed a bunch of red flowers in front of her and came to Princess Pingting, "Tell me?"

Princess Pingting lowered her head, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Princess Lu turned around and walked in front of Xiao Lin, "If she doesn't say anything, why don't you?"

Xiao Lin also lowered his head and said nothing.

Concubine Lu raised her eyebrows, "Since you don't say anything, then this palace can only deal with this matter." As she said that, her face changed, "Come here, let the princess stay here, so I can educate you!"

It was said that two nuns came up, one on the left and the other on the right, and they were about to leave. Princess Pingting struggled hard, but the effect was minimal.

"Let go of me, let go, Xiao, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao! Xiao Rin!" Princess Pingting called for help loudly, and even called out Xiao Rin's real name, but Xiao Rin ignored it and stared at the ground vigorously, as if to See a hole.

Concubine Lu glanced at Xiao Lin for a few times, not knowing whether it was doubt or admiration, she withdrew and walked towards Jing Ning, turned around to call for people, and ordered them to clean her up again, but Xiao Lin stood up to stop her, but was caught by Concubine Lu's attendants stop.

"It's not appropriate for Mrs. Xiao to follow after a woman takes a bath and change clothes?" Princess Lu stopped and turned her head, looking at Xiao Lin with a half-smile.

Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment, then took a step back, but still stared at Princess Lu.

"This garden is only this big, and the painting boat is parked at the side. If you are worried, you can stay at the door." Then he turned around and left with a group of people and Jing Ning.

After Concubine Lu left, everyone got up one after another, discussing what happened today, completely ignoring Xiao Lin's expression.

When Jing Ning recovered from the heat, she was already fully dressed in front of the mirror.

The person in the mirror is dressed in elegant purple clothes, with the same color gauze wrapped around his arms, and a colorful butterfly and phoenix wrapped around a flower hairpin on his head. Although it is not big, the workmanship is extremely fine.

While she was wondering, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman walked in from the outside.

Jing Ning was taken aback, and the person standing beside her reminded her in a low voice, "It's Princess Lu."

Hearing that Jingning hurriedly knelt down to pay respects, Princess Lu stretched out her hand to help her up.

"How is it? Is there any discomfort on your body?" Concubine Lu helped Jing Ning straighten her clothes and asked softly.

Jing Ning shook her head, she was a little frightened by this sudden intimacy, and she became more vigilant in her heart.

Concubine Lu seemed to be able to see what she was thinking, and smiled lightly, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a monster that can eat people, I won't eat you."

Jing Ning also smiled, looking around non-stop.

"Bring it up." Concubine Lu turned her head and whispered to the maid next to her. After hearing this, the maid blessed her and turned and ran away.

"Who is the concubine?" Jing Ning looked at the maid who ran away.

Concubine Lu also turned her head to look at the maid, then turned her head and took Jing Ning's hand, and patted it, "You will know later, follow me to the lobby first."

Entering the lobby through the door on the back side, you will be surrounded by Jingning, and you can't help but marvel at the splendor of this place.

"Sit." Concubine Lu gestured towards the other seat beside her. Jing Ning hurriedly sat down, just as she straightened her dress, when she looked up, she saw a figure standing outside the door.

The figure was against the light, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but Jing Ning could feel Xiao Suo's killing intent all over him, like a wolf like a tiger.

She turned her head and stopped looking.

Suddenly there was a commotion, two nuns supported a young girl, and the young girl limp in the middle, being dragged all the way.

"Jingning, look, this is the person who framed you?" Princess Lu asked.

"Exactly." Jing Ning raised his head, smiled and looked at Princess Pingting who was kneeling on the ground.

"You're talking nonsense! It's clear that you fell into the lake yourself! Why did you frame me!" Princess Pingting was trembling all over, but she was still making excuses.

Concubine Lu's face darkened, and she was about to speak when she heard Jing Ning say, "Why don't you tell the whole story? This will help the concubine judge who I have framed!"

What a powerful woman.

Princess Lu thought about it, cleared her throat, "Pingting, I asked you."

Princess Pingting looked at the aloof Jing Ning and sneered, "I kindly invited her to go on a boat today, but I didn't want her to have evil intentions, bump into the princess and steal the hairpin, and in the end the matter was revealed, and she wanted to blame me!"

"It's the other way around." Jing Ning stood up, "It was you who made me bump into the princess, and it was you who stuffed the princess gold hairpin into my clothes, and it was you," she paused, watching Princess Pingting heal. With an ugly face, he said word by word, "Frame me."

"It's true!" Xiao Lin put his hand behind his back and stepped into the door.
