Seeing the interaction between their master and servant, Xia Yihan's lips curled into a smile.
This woman has the ability to infect and attract people around her with just a smile or a word.
Although he was attracted in this way, he still had a great sense of crisis.
He even thought more than once that if the person Hu Ling'er met first in Yin Qishan was not him, but Jian Xinan, then he might never have a chance again.
It has to be said that he is very lucky, but he has to maintain this initial luck throughout his life, otherwise he will still be the one to regret it.
Hu Ling'er only gave herself two months, but judging from the current situation, she was slowly accepting herself, so he really didn't want those external forces to affect him.
Although marrying Sang Rong as a concubine was just a temporary measure, it was not the right thing for him, Hu Ling'er, or even Sang Rong.
But what Hu Ling'er said makes sense, and since she asked herself to do this, there must be her reasons.
While thinking about it, Hu Ling'er listened and said to Jian Xinan: "Xinan, Qi Hongqing is here and wants Xia Yihan to marry Sang Rong as his concubine. What do you think should be done?"
Jian Xinan paused and looked towards Xia Yihan, but Xia Yihan remained silent after hearing this.
Jian Xinan had always been confident that she knew Hu Ling'er well and was embarrassed in front of him. He wanted to see if he could know Hu Ling'er's thoughts on this matter?
Because if he were from Jian Xinan's point of view, he would only care about Hu Ling'er and would definitely not agree to marry Sang Rong. If he did marry, he might even worry about him.
But Xia Yihan thought wrong. After Jian Xinan looked at him, she turned her eyes back, and then said slowly: "Marry."
"You...you..." Xia Yihan's jaw dropped in shock. Did Jian Xinan actually let him marry her?
Could it be that he thought that after he married Sang Rong, Ling'er would be unhappy and he would take advantage of the opportunity?
Yes, that must be the case.
Seeing the shocked look on his face, Jian Xinan smiled lightly and said, "Why, Prince Han doesn't want to? He is your dearest junior sister."
This mocking tone made Xia Yihan very unhappy. She said with a serious face: "Jian Xinan, you have done so much for me. I am grateful, but it does not mean that I can tolerate everything you do."
Seeing that the air pressure in the room dropped, Jian Xinan shrugged and ignored Xia Yihan. She just turned to Hu Ling'er and said: "Ling'er, you try not to get out of bed and move around as much as possible in the past two days. I'm going back to the room first to avoid anyone else."
It’s an eyesore.”
"I understand." Hu Ling'er nodded and laughed helplessly. After glancing at Xia Yihan, she said to Min Mo: "Min Mo, you should go back and have a good rest."
Min Mo looked at Xia Yihan and originally wanted to say something, but looking at his gloomy face, he nodded and left.
The room became calm again, and Xia Yihan's face immediately turned gloomy, "Ling'er, you are really considerate. It's getting late, so let's take a rest early."
With that said, he began to take off his coat.
Hu Ling'er gave him a cool look and said seriously: "Okay, I'll go to bed first, and you can go and have some rest."
As she said this, she lay down with her clothes on, facing inwards.
Xia Yihan saw her leaning on the edge of the bed, not leaving any space for him, and couldn't help but said depressedly: "Ling'er, do you still want me to sleep on that bamboo couch tonight?"
Hu Ling'er didn't even raise her eyes and said, "If you don't want to, just go back to your room and sleep."
"No, that's not what I meant." Xia Yihan quickly denied it and did not dare to say anything anymore. If he kept talking, Hu Ling'er would definitely drive him out.
As he walked towards the bamboo couch, he turned around and glanced at Hu Ling'er's back reluctantly. He was very depressed.
Although I have been stuck in this room for several days, except for sneaking up there that night, I have never succeeded again.
He had to admit that Hu Ling'er was still very vigilant most of the time, but he really didn't want it to be used on himself.
Now that things are like this, if he really marries Sang Rong, will she still be willing to take care of him?
He was really a little worried.
"Xia Yihan."
At this moment, Hu Ling'er's voice suddenly came from behind him.
Feeling happy in her heart, Xia Yihan hurriedly turned around and said, "What's wrong, Linger, have you changed your mind?"
Just when he was about to turn back excitedly, Hu Ling'er's voice continued: "I let you marry Sang Rong because I trust you, and I also hope that you can see something that you couldn't see before."
Today, when Sang Rong was confused, the words Xia Yihan said to her were still echoing in Hu Ling'er's ears.
Sang Rong was too hidden, and Xia Yihan's feelings for her couldn't be broken off easily, so she could only make a desperate move and let Sang Rong achieve her goal, so that she could reveal her true face.
This approach is very risky, because once Xia Yihan's heart is shaken, she will lose completely.
But Sang Rong even put his own life on the line, so what does it mean if she puts her trust in Xia Yihan on the line?
Xia Yihan paused, her eyes darkened, and she looked at Hu Ling'er's back for a long time before she said, "Okay, I'll think about it carefully."
"Well, go to sleep." Hu Ling'er's voice sounded deep, and then there was no movement.
Xia Yihan stood there for a while, and finally turned around and walked towards the bamboo couch.
He lay down on it, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the roof, and fell into deep thought.
He never had any room to refuse anything Hu Ling'er asked for. She said she asked him to do it because she trusted him. So he has always been unwilling to agree. Is it because he doesn't want Hu Ling'er to be wronged or because he doesn't have enough confidence in himself?
Woolen cloth?
The answer was obviously the former, but he couldn't firmly deny the latter.
He admitted that he was afraid.
He was not afraid that he would waver in his feelings for Hu Ling'er and fall in love with Sang Rong, but he was afraid that Hu Ling'er would leave him.
One loss had already made him heartbroken. If this kind of pain happened again, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it.
Xia Yihan finally fell asleep while thinking, but still couldn't make a decision.
The next morning, when Zuo Xiangfu entered the palace, the news that Sang Jinde had been married to King Han as his concubine by the emperor spread like wildfire, and it spread throughout the streets and alleys of Lingdu in an instant.
After hearing the news, everyone started talking again.
After all, it was only the day before that the news came out that Princess Han was unclean and had an affair with someone, and the next day the emperor gave Prince Han a concubine in marriage.
Although the Queen Mother personally issued an edict to prove Princess Han's innocence, who can guess clearly what happened in the royal family.
As soon as this news came out, it undoubtedly pushed Hu Ling'er to the forefront again.
But throughout the morning, the people in Prince Han's Mansion were calm and relaxed, not as anxious and irritable as yesterday.
However, at this time, a conflict broke out in an inconspicuous restaurant because of this news.
It was lunch time at this time, and a small restaurant on the streets of Lingdu was buzzing with people because of its delicious food and low price. The people gathered here were also middle- and lower-class people, and the quality of their speech could not be complimented.
At a seat by the window, two Dahans dressed in a quack-like style were drinking. After a few drinks, the mood became high. One of them said: "Brother Lin, the Imperial City is indeed the Imperial City. Just this small family."
The restaurants are better than the most upscale restaurants in our town."
"Of course." The man named Brother Lin raised his chin proudly, drank a glass of wine and continued: "This imperial city is not only prosperous, but you can also hear a lot of royal secrets.
The town also feels that it is a privilege that it cannot enjoy."
"Yes, yes." The person who spoke first nodded hurriedly, then looked around and lowered his voice slightly and said: "Didn't I keep talking about Prince Han and Princess Han in the past two days? Today I have another
There is an extra concubine, what is going on?"
"Hey, you heard all this." Lin smiled mysteriously, and then started gossiping, "We ordinary people have no way of knowing what the truth is. But I have met Princess Han.
Oh, she is so beautiful, and she is also easy-going. I can’t imagine she could be that kind of person."
"Brother Lin, you don't know something about this." The other person smiled ambiguously, came closer, and said: "The more serious a woman is on the surface, the more lascivious she is underneath. Don't you mean Nahan
Was the king originally just a sick man or a blind man? It must be that he couldn't satisfy Princess Na Han, so people would cheat on her. Alas, I really want to meet this Princess Han, if she sees me, "the best in the world"
With your real skill with the gun, you might even fall in love with me, hahaha."
"You guy, you actually dare to tease Princess Han." The man surnamed Lin punched him and smiled like a lewd one.
The man raised his eyebrows proudly, "What's the matter? She has already been fucked by others, is she still afraid of being ridiculed?"
"Bang!" Just as he finished speaking, a fist slammed into his head, knocking him down to the ground without any defense.
"Who the fuck is attacking me?" The man reacted quickly and stood up quickly, only to see a burly man with a sloppy beard looking at him angrily, his eyes red, and pulling him tightly from there.
Judging from his fist, the person who just hit him was clearly him.
"Damn it, you dare to sneak attack on my brother, I think you are tired of living!" Seeing his companion being beaten, Lin took out a scimitar from his waist and slashed at the man without hesitation.
.
But he had only stretched out his hand halfway when a fist came towards him, and with another "bang", it hit him firmly on the bridge of the nose.
With a scream of "Ouch", the man named Lin flew out and hit the table in front of him.
The crowd suddenly became confused, and most people fled through the door. Those who were curious and not afraid of death stayed inside to watch.
"Damn it, grandpa will not only beat you, but also tear your stinking mouth apart!" Tang Meng blew his fist and said fiercely to the two people lying on the ground.
That's right, this man is none other than Tang Meng, the eldest brother Hu Ling'er met in the village.
He had just arrived in Lingdu today. He was originally thinking about how to go to Prince Han's Mansion to find his sister, but he heard these disgusting words here.
Tang Meng's admiration and love for Hu Ling'er can no longer be described in words. How could he endure it?
So he took action decisively.
Although he was just a bandit with average skills before, he has been training himself and his brothers according to the methods taught by Hu Ling'er during this period of time.
Now not only him, but also the brothers who were just a ragtag group at first have become elite soldiers and strong generals.
Two months are coming soon, and he is here to report the situation to Hu Ling'er. Of course, he also takes this opportunity to see her.
And after a series of formal training, coupled with his rough appearance, just standing there gave people a strong sense of oppression.
But those two people should be people who often travel in the world. Although they were defeated by him in one move, they still said without fear of death: "You are so protective of her, are you the adulterer who is sleeping with her?"
"Hahahaha!!" When the onlookers heard this, they couldn't help laughing.
When Tang Meng heard this, his face turned red, white, green, and finally turned black.
His fists were clenched loudly, and his eyes were filled with blazing anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "You are the ones who are seeking death. You can't blame me."
As soon as the words fell, the big fist was already swung towards the person who spoke, absolutely sharp and fast, leaving no room for reaction at all.
The man who was talking so fast just stood there stupidly, unable to move at all.
The people around him gasped, but no one dared to help.
After this punch, he probably wouldn't be alive.
At this moment, a white shadow flashed over and grabbed Tang Meng's hand with ease. The next second, a clear voice sounded: "Stop."
Tang Meng was shocked when his fist was caught, but when he saw the person coming, he said in surprise: "Master Jian, is it you?"
The visitor turned out to be Jian Xinan.
Jian Xinan nodded, then put down Tang Meng's hand, turned to look at the two people who were still in shock, and smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth.
The two of them thought they were finally saved and breathed a sigh of relief. However, they were only halfway out when a white light flashed in front of their eyes and two white objects swooped into their mouths.
It melts in your mouth.
The faces of the two changed drastically, and one of them shouted: "Ah ah ah, what did you give us to eat? Uh, uh, uh uh uh..."
The screams eventually turned into whimpers. They scratched their throats and looked at Jian Xinan who was smiling at them in horror.
She had such a stunning face, such a gentle smile, and such a clear temperament, but with a wave of his hand, he actually silenced both of them.
Her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, Jian Xinan tilted her mouth, and smiled charmingly: "Eating randomly will hurt your stomach, and talking nonsense will of course come with a price. In the six months starting from today, you will never
I am speechless."
"Woooooo!!" When the two heard this, their eyes widened in fear.
Tang Meng on the other side clapped his hands with satisfaction, "Well, this method is quite good, I like it. But..."
He touched his chin and looked up and down at the two people who were already at a loss what to do, and said thoughtfully: "When trouble comes from their mouths, their mouths must be punished. Just being unable to speak seems not enough."
As soon as these words came out, the two people who were screaming "woo woo" suddenly didn't dare to speak out.
What did he mean by this? Did he not even let them eat?
Just as she was thinking about it, Jian Xinan seemed to have remembered something and said: "Oh, don't tell me I almost forgot. The medicine just now is only a semi-finished product, so the effect is not very clear. It seems to have a side effect once it is taken.
When eating solid food, my throat hurts as if it were being cut with a knife."
After finishing speaking, seeing the two people trembling violently, Jian Xinan apologized to them seriously: "I'm really sorry. You can just drink some soup for the past six months and make do with it."
With two "booms", the two people could no longer stand and suddenly fell to the ground.
But Jian Xinan seemed unaware. She just smiled and glanced at the people around her, and then said to Tang Meng, "Let's go."
After saying that, he walked away. Tang Meng quickly followed, but when he reached the door, he suddenly turned his head, waved his fist and said: "If anyone dares to gossip about Princess Han again, be careful of me.
Fist." After thinking for a while, he added: "Of course, there is also this young master's dumb medicine, hum!"
Tang Meng and Jian Xinan left. Everyone looked at the direction in which they disappeared for a long time, then looked back at the two people who were slumped on the ground with bruises and swollen faces, speechless, and then walked away silently.
Those two people just now were really scary, especially the weird medicine.
I can't speak, I can't eat solid food, and I drink soup for half a year. Even if I don't die, can I still be in human form?
After walking out of the restaurant, Tang Meng said excitedly to Jian Xinan: "Master Jian, you were so handsome just now."
"Handsome?" Jian Xinan raised her eyebrows, and then smiled helplessly: "It seems that you have learned a lot of her words from Ling'er?"
"That's necessary." Tang Meng raised his chin proudly and said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, sister Ling'er is simply my reborn parent. When she was the target of robbery, it was me, Tang Meng, who
The most correct decision I have ever made in my life.”
Although he was beaten badly by Hu Ling'er at that time, it was precisely because of this opportunity that he changed as he did now.
Jian Xinan smiled. He had already seen Tang Meng's admiration for Hu Ling'er.
I remember when they first found the village, they wanted to ask him about Hu Ling'er's whereabouts, but he never revealed it, whether through coercion or inducement.
Later, it was Bai Li who stole the training materials that Hu Ling'er left for him from him, and Jian Xinan personally drew Hu Ling'er's appearance, so he slowly believed them, and then told them about Hu Ling'er's whereabouts
.
"By the way, why did you come to Lingdu?" In fact, he had just passed the door of the restaurant and saw that there seemed to be a fight going on inside. He didn't want to join in at first, but he heard a somewhat familiar voice.
At first he couldn't figure out who it was, but when he went in and saw it, it turned out to be Tang Meng.
After listening there for a while, he also understood the cause and effect of the incident. Seeing that his punch was about to kill someone, he took action to stop it.
"I'm here to find Miss Ling'er." Tang Meng grinned, "I was originally worried about how to go to Prince Han's Mansion to find someone, but I didn't want to meet you. Mr. Jian, you must have a way for me to meet my sister.
Yeah."
Although he is just a reckless man, he also knows that there are so many rumors about Hu Ling'er outside. If he goes to the gate of Prince Han's Mansion so recklessly and says that he is looking for his sister, let's not say whether others will believe it. If he really believes it,
, and I don’t know what gossip will be spread by then.
He didn't want to cause trouble to Hu Ling'er.
Jian Xinan was naturally aware of Tang Meng's concerns. The fact that such a rough man could consider so much showed how much he valued Hu Ling'er.
Nodding, Jian Xinan smiled and said: "Of course, I live in Prince Han's mansion now. I will take you in to find Ling'er later."
When Tang Meng heard this, his eyes lit up, "Really, that's great."
While they were talking, the two of them had already reached the front of Guanyue Tower. Jian Xinan stopped and took a look, and then said to Tang Meng: "Brother Tang, I guess you didn't even have enough food just because of those two people. Let me treat you
Would you like to have a meal inside?"
Tang Meng raised his head and looked at the majestic signboard of Guanyue Tower, and then looked inside. The magnificent decoration was as good as the place where he ate just now.
I think before the bandits, he was just a grassroots man in the mountains. This was his first time in Lingdu. How had he ever seen such a luxurious restaurant?
Just looking at it made him feel hungry.
Touching his stomach with one hand and scratching his hair with the other, Tang Meng said a little embarrassedly: "Hey, I just took two bites, and then I met those two unappetizing guys. I'm really hungry now. It's just that
It must be very expensive inside, I..."
"Come in since you're hungry." Jian Xinan interrupted Tang Meng and dragged him in.
