Chapter 44 Of course I’m afraid

First they hugged each other and cried, then they knelt on the ground and kowtowed. The two of them chatted incoherently, crying and laughing at times.

A stick of incense didn't come to the right time.

"alright"

Lin Ximeng's head almost exploded.

I wanted to raise my hands to rub my head, but found that my arms were so weak that I couldn't lift them up at all.

Through the dim butter lamp, she could clearly see her slender arms, with wrinkled skin covering bones like hemp rods, and bursts of black and blue on them.

"What's wrong with me? Qingqing, tell me"

Qingqing stepped forward on her knees, put her arms back for her, and tucked her in the quilt.

Trying to remember, she recounted everything that happened during her coma.

Talk about Zhao Liangdi's indifference and ruthlessness.

He said that the master came back to deliver medicine, and that Zhao Liangdi dared to come to the house in front of the master, so she asked the doctor to prescribe poison.

Everything was explained in detail and every aspect was explained.

"What about the four people?"

Lin Ximeng asked suddenly.

Qingqing was stunned, biting her lips and said: "They are still locked up in the greenhouse, but they lack food and drink. They are almost going crazy because of the suffocation. Two of them are even sick. The slaves found medicine and sent it over, but it didn't work very well."

"As long as you don't die"

Lin Ximeng closed her eyes and thought that when she would feel better, she would take them to the master.

Tell all the stories about Zhao Liangdi pretending to be a ghost to scare her.

Qingqing hesitated to speak, but finally decided to speak after a while.

"Master, I have something to say, and I decided to advise you."

"When the master came to deliver the medicine that day, he said that Zhao Liangdi was personally entrusted by the emperor and had status and rank. Even three of you could not defeat her."

This means that the master will never offend Zhao Liangdi, who was given by the emperor, for a concubine.

At least for now, Xie Chenyu is just a prince, and has no qualifications or ability to disobey the emperor.

Even if he really wants to.

Lin Ximeng was stunned.

It's like the world view has collapsed.

He held his chin and looked out the window without saying a word.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, and half an hour passed, and Qingqing cried and begged her to be more open-minded.

"If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. As long as you take good care of yourself, we will still have hope after all."

"Too"

Lin Ximeng nodded.

"I'm just a concubine, who do I expect to support me?"

After being ill for such a long time, it is impossible for the Queen not to receive news.

If she didn't come to save her, she just wouldn't care. Without her, there would be other chess pieces that could be manipulated, and the queen would not interfere in her stepson's backyard for her own sake.

Everyone is running smoothly on their own track and will not change the track easily for anyone.

As an adult, she should understand this truth.

"That's different too"

"If you can't die, you have to shed your skin, for no other reason."

"If I endure it this time, I really won't survive next time."

If Zhao Liangdi couldn't trample her to death this time, it might not be possible next time. She would never die. She had to live and live well.

Just like herself in the 21st century, she can always save enough capital so that she doesn't have to be a social animal and can still live comfortably.

——

The date Lin Ximeng chose was the end of May.

At that time, the situation in the palace gradually became heated.

The queen has arranged a marriage between the second prince and the granddaughter of Duke Xinguo, and is preparing for the engagement period.

As for Qianqing Palace, Xu Qianqian was eight months pregnant and was about to give birth in more than a month.

The second prince and the unborn fetus, who will be the future prince, are eagerly awaited by all the civil and military officials in the dynasty.

At this time, Xie Chenyu was renovating the study room with great fanfare and did not even go to court.

He looked like he was concerned about the position of the crown prince as if it had nothing to do with him.

On this day, it was already evening when Xie Chenyu came back from the palace.

The exhausted noble prince just wanted to lie down in the hot bath and find some beauties to rub his shoulders and back.

However, Zhao Hai came in to report that Lin wanted to see him.

"oh?"

Xie Chenyu squinted his eyes, and it took him a while to remember who Mr. Lin was.

"What is she here for?"

"She said she is well now and wants to thank His Highness for saving her life."

Silence, continued silence.

After half a stick of incense, Xie Chenyu finally waved reluctantly: "Let her in."

Lin Ximeng wore a pale pink dress embroidered with peach blossoms, which perfectly complemented her rosy complexion. She wore a soft pony bun, a rose quartz hairpin, and a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets on her wrists.

She has just recovered from a serious illness. She is thin and pale pink, delicate but not demonic. It makes her look even more frail and sick.

She also specially drew a "Lin Daiyu"-style frown, slightly clustered, just right to arouse people's protective desire.

Lin Ximeng originally disdained such methods, but it was a pity that she could only fight like this if she didn't want to die.

"Greetings to you"

"Get up"

Xie Chenyu raised his hand and his eyes lit up.

I have to say that this woman is very good at dressing up, and of course she is also very knowledgeable. The most important thing is that she can survive this incident, which shows that she is not stupid, but very smart.

"He has recovered well and is a smart man," he praised sincerely.

"You don't need fools by your side, I understand."

What a joke, someone who is a little bit stupid will not only kill themselves, but also harm Xie Chenyu to the point of eternal destruction at any time.

He doesn't have that much capital and can't afford to gamble his life.

"Since you are alive, if you have anything to say, I will make the decision for you."

Lin Ximeng didn't pretend or get entangled, she was straightforward.

"I have suffered a lot of grievances and feel aggrieved. Please speak out for me."

"Even if Ms. Zhao doesn't die, I still want her to suffer a big loss."

The delicate woman, with moist almond eyes, burst out with extremely sharp claws, like a cat that had always been docile suddenly stretched out its claws.

"Hate so much?"

"Of course I hate it. She wants me to die, but I want to live well."

Lin Ximeng steadied her body, stood up straight, held her head high and showed no fear.

Xie Chenyu looked at this weak woman again, from top to bottom, and then stood up and took her hand.

"how do you want to do it?"

Lin Ximeng clapped three times and asked Dagui to bring the four people up.

These people had been locked up in an abandoned greenhouse for nearly a month. Their clothes were stained with mud and their original color was no longer visible. The smell was pungent, like fermented and rotten feces.

Xie Chenyu frowned, watching these people kowtow on the ground, and listening to their incoherent words saying that Zhao ordered them to extinguish the lights, and ordered them to pretend to be Miss Zhou and demand their lives from Miss Lin.

"Did you hear that?"

Lin Ximeng's eyes were firm: "When I was poisoned, I was the victim. The person who almost lost his life, I asked myself that I didn't do anything wrong."

"Who knew I would be remembered"

"Master, I'm still the victim this time. Why should I bear these things that don't belong to me?"

Xie Chenyu stared at Lin Ximeng meaningfully as if he had never known her before.

"Did anyone tell you that there is no fairness in the backyard?"

"Your family is still in exile in northern Xinjiang. Do you really not miss them?"

"Do you know how stupid these words are? This palace can directly divorce you in the name of disrespect."

He pressed closer to Lin Ximeng step by step.

"Or, you know you were sent by your mother, so I won't and don't dare to sell you?"

Pressed by the strong breath, Lin Ximeng felt that the air was stagnant and it was difficult to breathe.

She endured it and still didn't back down.

"I understand. If I insist on enduring it, I will endure it. Of course I'm afraid."
