The third update is to subscribe and ask for pink!

While the snow had not fallen all over, Lin Zhaoyan and Lu Yanzhi said goodbye and returned to the inn room.
The agreement between them was completed. Lu Yanzhi said that he would make arrangements the next day and just wait for her to go to Yonglai Inn after she returned to Beijing.
Lin Zhaoyan completely believed in Lu Yanzhi's character, and as for what he said he would do his best to help her, she politely declined.
He provided her with connections with her, and she did not want to involve him for no reason. Besides, she still had selfish thoughts in her heart, and always felt that once she let Lu Yanzhi get involved in this matter completely, she would owe him a huge favor and she would never be able to pay it back in her life.
She didn't want to owe anything to others. Now that's the case, it's just right for you to go back and forth.
When she returned to the inn, she was planning carefully about the plans she should arrange when she returned to Shengjing City.
It’s easy to get rid of Zhou Tingchen’s words, but it’s not that easy to do.
And her only trump card is nothing more than Zhou Tingchen's feelings for her.
Beauty schemes have been a clever plan since ancient times.
But how to use this trick to become a poison-tempering death talisman needs to be carefully arranged.
Lingyun Temple, Master Jingyi, Xiao Ming, Zhou Jingyu, Zhou Wanyu, Qin Chang, Qin Yuxue, Prince Duan, Empress Dowager... All these characters have been passed in Lin Zhaoyan's mind.
She listed the enemy, who was friends, who could help her, and who could not be involved in it, and it became clear in an instant.
Now, she can no longer live lazy and indifferently.
Even the inconspicuous butterfly flowers on the roadside can inadvertently sacrifice a poisonous snake spitting out a fiery red letter.
Before Manshuang fell asleep, she was dozing in the house waiting for her to return. When she heard the movement of the door being pushed open, she suddenly woke up.
"Girl, are you back?" Manshuang quickly came forward, his eyes unconcealed concern, "Are you cold? Come and have a drink of ginger soup."
Lin Zhaoyan looked at her worried and concerned eyes, pursed her lips and smiled, "Not cold."
She sat down and drank ginger soup, dispelling the chill of standing in the wind and snow for a long time, and the confusion and loneliness in Lin Si who could not say anything in her heart.
"Manshuang, have you found out about Mr. Feng Qing's route?" Lin Zhaoyan finished drinking ginger soup, suddenly turned his eyes and asked softly.
This was originally something that had to be done early in the morning. But later, Xiao Qi's incident disrupted her pace and made her forget it. It was not until she calmed down and figured out the relationship between the characters that she remembered Mr. Feng Qing, the poor man who was used by Mrs. Li.
Manshuang was stunned, then nodded, "I heard about it, but the girl never gave any more instructions. I dare not send the letter to myself."
Lin Zhaoyan breathed a light sigh, "Then don't send it. When I arrive in Shengjing, I can know his residence at any time with such a famous Lihua Gang."
Manshuang was a little strange, "Miss, do you know what Mr. Feng Qing lives in? Didn't you just want to alienate him and Mrs. Li before?"
"Yes, but now I'm not just trying to get apart." Lin Zhaoyan curled the corners of his lips, and a cold and bone-devouring smile appeared.
What she wants now is not that Mr. Feng Qing does not obey Mrs. Li. What she wants is that he obeys her.
She knew clearly that the reason why Mr. Fengqing was used by Mrs. Li was because of the love in her heart, the love for her mother, and the love for her "sister".
Therefore, it is better not to expose her life experience first. She wants Mr. Feng Qing to become her person.
Although Lu Yanzhi's people are extraordinary, they are not hers after all. She cannot even be sure what will happen to Lu Yanzhi in the future. If there is a turning point, those people will be a fatal constraint for her.
Once Mr. Feng Qing wins over, he doesn't need to say what he is sincere to his "sister". I believe he has the ability to influence the entire team behind him.
The opera troupe and opera troupe are never just opera troupes, especially those who deal with royal relatives and nobles.
With the help of Mr. Feng Qing, it will be much easier to get into the powerful.
And it will be of great help to what she will do in the future.
Manshuang felt that the brilliant light that Lin Zhaoyan showed at this moment was unaware of, but when she had to distinguish it carefully, she had already restrained her glory and turned into her usual gentle and calm appearance.
But, what's different?
Before Manshuang could think about it, Lin Zhaoyan had already gotten up and held her hand, "Sleep, when you arrive in Shengjing, I'm afraid you will never have such a comfortable and worry-free sleep again."

When Lin Zhaoyan woke up the next morning, Lu Yanzhi had already left, so he asked the waiter to hand over a letter to Lin Ruoyan. There were only a few words in the letter, which roughly means that he would leave in advance, hoping that they would not worry and wish them a smooth journey.
Lin Ruoyan was full of depressedness, and tears even flashed in his eyes.
Lin Zhaoyan was helpless and joked with her, "You just like him so much?"
"Of course." Lin Ruoyan admitted without reservation, as if he remembered Lu Yanzhi's indescribable gentleness and kindness to Lin Zhaoyan, and his tone suddenly became rushing, "How could you understand the feeling of truly loving someone since childhood?"
Lin Zhaoyan was speechless when she said it, so she simply ignored it and was just sad.
However, she was secretly grateful to Lu Yanzhi in her heart, and thanked him for knowing how to restrain himself and how to behave. She did not hand over the letter to her but to Lin Ruoyan. Otherwise, if Lin Ruoyan loves Lu Yanzhi so much, there would be another gap between the two sisters.
Lin Ruoyan's depression did not last long. Her temper, as simple as a child, quickly faded away. After a while, she got stuck with Lin Zhaoyan again, and felt very sorry for the fierce words just now.
Lin Zhao said that he would not be so calculating, so he smiled and brought his previous embarrassment and dissatisfaction over.
Then there was a waterway. After about five or six days on the bumpy boat, the group arrived at the pier outside Shengjing City.
At this time, there are three or four days left before the New Year, and the dock is particularly lively and festive. There are endless merchants, including all kinds of hawkers selling New Year’s goods, couplets, and window-grove items.
Lin Zhaoyan was a little stunned for a moment.
This is the New Year belonging to Yanling. It is so lively and shows the thriving feeling under the feet of the emperor.
She looked at the sincere smile on the faces of pedestrians on the road, and felt like a needle was pierced in her heart, and she felt a little painful inexplicably.
Although that day will come sooner or later, will she really put these innocent people in danger early for her own selfish interests?
It is normal for the change of the country to change. The intrigues within the royal family are not something that ordinary people can stop.
But can the country made of innocent people's blood and corpses really sit safely?
She really couldn't help but want to ask them, the royal children, or even ask Xiao Qi.
What else can you get except for the loneliness, indifference and emptiness above thousands of people?
"Why are you stunned?" Lin Ruoyan pulled her, her expression looking very confused.
Lin Zhaoyan quickly came back to his senses and shook his head, not letting himself think about it anymore.
Then he took a carriage back to Jian'an Hou's Mansion.
Because Lin Zhaoyan had not sent a letter to report in advance, and she did not want to make a statement, almost no one in the Jian'an Marquis' Mansion knew that they were back.
When they saw the fourth and fifth girls appear at the gate, the servants were stunned at first. Then they rushed to the inner courtyard to report.
After a while, Liu brought his maids to greet him.
Of course, only Liu.
Lin Chen is not in the mansion.
Old Mrs. Lin only sent her personal maid to come, for Lin Ruoyan's sake.
The wives of the other rooms did not come for some reason. In short, unlike the lively atmosphere where they came to Yanling, this time they were obviously going home, but they seemed a little desolate.
Fortunately, there is a mother.
Having a mother is enough.
"Mother." So Lin Zhaoyan didn't care about so many people present in public, nor did he care about his 15th day of the Chinese New Year, so he stepped forward and hugged Liu tightly.
Tears fell naturally.
"Mother, I won't leave you." She buried her head in her shoulder again and promised in a slump.
She will not leave her mother, no matter who she is.
Liu was obviously startled by her reaction. He hugged her and patted her back and comforted her, then looked at Lin Ruoyan and asked her what was going on.
Lin Ruoyan shrugged, looking very innocent. Her expression was obviously saying, "Don't ask me, I didn't mess with you anyway."
Liu had no choice but to persuade him to coax him softly.
Fortunately, Lin Zhaoyan was not reluctant to let go, hugged her for a while, and her expression returned to calmness and naturalness. She blinked at Liu, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine, I just miss you too much."
Liu looked at her carefully and saw that she looked calm and didn't look like she was lying, so she breathed helplessly, "You, I'll scare me."
Seeing that her face was radiant and her eyes were filled with cowardice, Lin Zhaoyan realized that the content of her letter was not to comfort her. It seemed that her father had indeed persuaded her mother very well.
However, her eyes dimmed.
Coaxing and persuading...after all, it's not true.
After that, Liu took the two sisters back to the yard. After a while, Aunt Wan and Aunt San, who were heard from the news, also came over. As usual, they said a few nice words and then chatted together.
Aunt San is not bad. She is low-key and restrained and listens carefully most of the time.
As for Aunt Wan, she was boasting about her daughter in her words, that is, how Lin Xingyan, who entered the palace, was valued by the Empress Dowager and loved by the palace people, how she gained a foothold in the palace, and said that the Empress Dowager intended to give her a marriage, and her words were all provocative.
After all, it is a very honorable thing to be given a marriage by the Queen Mother.
Lin Zhaoyan knew that Aunt Wan was probably dissatisfied with Lin Chen's recent closeness to Liu, so she came here to welcome them so much.
Like Liu, she was not very angry with Aunt Wan's actions, but was just touched by some of her words.
She said that Lin Xingyan was very popular with the emperor.
Lord, Emperor.
