Just before Sheng Meiren forced her way in, Jiang Tang stopped and stepped back, letting the woman reflect in the bronze mirror.
Lin Zhaoyi looked at herself in the mirror, looking completely different from the other two. Before she could be surprised, the arrogant and domineering voice of the woman outside came in first:
"I've even come to visit you in person, but you still refuse to see Sister Lin? This attitude is even greater than that of the Concubine Xian."
Lian Zhaoyi's eyes showed disgust and displeasure, and he wanted to rush out and smash the woman's face.
This kind of thought only passed by for a moment. Even Concubine Xian suffered a loss at her hands. She was a concubine who had fallen out of favor for a long time...
Lin Zhaoyi's mood instantly dropped, her fingers that had been loosened tightened at some point, and returned to the tense, depressed and self-enclosed state she had when Jiang Tang first met her.
Want to lose without a fight?
This is impossible.
"Mom, don't worry, everything will be fine."
The gentle and sweet female voice reached her ears with determination and confidence. Lin Zhaoyi subconsciously turned her head and met a pair of encouraging eyes:
"You have put all your money into it, why are you afraid of failure? The one who laughs last is the winner. Are you so afraid of a brainless woman who was just released from the cold palace?"
Lin Zhaoyi opened her mouth, her original nervous and melancholy mood was dispersed by the words "brainless woman released from the cold palace".
I don’t know why, but she was obviously the favorite concubine that everyone in the harem was wary of, but once this girl said it, she seemed to be nothing.
What is there to be afraid of? The worst case scenario is that we both die together!
Lin Zhaoyi took a deep breath, straightened her chest and abdomen, and went out to fight with Sheng Meiren with a cold attitude:
"Shengmei, have you stayed in the cold palace for a long time? You are becoming more and more arrogant and rude. You actually came to my Zhaoyi Palace to act wild. Do you need me to find an imperial doctor for you?"
Sheng Meiren's face changed slightly, and she was furious in her heart. When did this timid good-for-nothing Lin Zhaoyi become so arrogant and dare to talk to her like this!
However, before the anger could burn up, it disappeared instantly when he looked up and saw the old man's yellow face.
"Pfft~"
Sheng Meiren couldn't help but laughed: "Sister, what's wrong? Is this face yellow due to the oil smoke? I heard that you are going to the summer resort. My sister advises you, in order not to scare people.
, you’d better not go and embarrass yourself~”
Sheng Meiren's words were careless and she was so angry that everyone in Zhaoyi Palace changed. However, Lin Zhaoyi kept in mind Jiang Tang's words, "The one who laughs last is the winner", so she cheered up and fought back:
"Sister, don't just laugh at me. Look at the wrinkles on your face first. You could kill a fly..."
"What did you say!……"
There were flashes of swords and shadows outside, and you were coming and going, while Jiang Tang retreated.
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, that Shengmei really "loves you deeply" as the host. Even after being retorted by Lin Zhaoyi, she actually had the nerve to say that she wanted to see you. But fortunately, Lin Zhaoyi had a clear mind and rejected her. 】
The system progressed in the live broadcast in Jiang Tang's ears, but Jiang Tang didn't feel grateful.
If she hadn't been "useful", Lin Zhaoyi wouldn't have protected her, just like the one outside the palace...
【Host beware!】
Although the system reminded her, Jiang Tang, who was distracted, still failed to avoid it in time. When she came back to her senses, she had already run into someone else's arms.
"careful!"
The hoarse and familiar young man's voice sounded above his head. Jiang Tang subconsciously put his hand against the other person's chest and withdrew from his arms.
A strange thought flashed through my mind: He is so thin, but why is his chest so hard...
"Are you OK?"
Nan Xing originally stretched out his hand to help someone, but quickly put it down after seeing the girl standing.
Jiang Tang blinked: "Why are you here?"
If I remember correctly, he should be recovering from his injuries, right?
She glanced at the other person's slightly stiff lower body.
"I, I'm fine,"
The young man looked at her and then hurriedly avoided it, as if he was not used to looking into other people's eyes:
"You said, said...", let me come to you again.
He hadn't finished speaking, but the nervously held hands revealed his nervousness at the moment.
This was the first time he took the initiative to talk to someone. What if she just talked casually? What if she didn't want him at all?
He shouldn't have come...
Jiang Tang didn't speak for a long time, but the young man's mood had changed from the joyful anticipation along the way, to being gradually brainwashed into despair and withdrawal.
He shouldn't have come...
He brought so much trouble to her, he shouldn't have come...
"Yes, sorry."
After he finished saying this, he stumbled and turned around to leave. His already snow-white face was pale and without a trace of blood, and his eyes were filled with guilt and depression, like an abandoned puppy in the rain.
"etc!"
Seeing that the puppy was about to hide and lick his wounds again, Jiang Tang subconsciously grabbed his hand.
[Ding~Nanxing favorability 10]
The system beeps without warning and suddenly comes to mind.
Jiang Tang's beautiful eyes opened slightly: Huh?
The young man felt as if he had been burned by something, his ears suddenly turned red, and he threw her hand away without thinking.
Jiang Tang didn't pay attention for a moment, and his hand was hit by a pillar on the side, and he let out a painful intake of breath.
He panicked: "Are you okay?"
His eyes were full of nervousness and self-blame, and he was so anxious that he almost cried: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
[He is pretending to be pitiful to seduce you.] The cold voice of the system suddenly sounded.
Jiang Tang didn't seem to hear it. She reached out again and firmly grasped the boy's calloused hand: "Let's go, I'm fine. Didn't you say you wanted to help me?"
Smile as bright as a flower, gentle and beautiful.
[Ding~Nanxing favorability 10]
Nan Xing trembled, but this time, he did not break away.
-
"...Master Tang has a little eunuch beside him. He is very good-looking. The master takes great care of him. My dear..." Before he could finish the word "near", he was severely interrupted by the man slamming down the tea cup.
The flying debris grazed his cheek, causing a burning sting. The person who responded knew that his face must be bleeding without even touching it.
But this was nothing compared to the terrifying pressure that suddenly shrouded his head, as if if he moved even slightly, his head would fall to the ground the next moment.
"On the day of departure, I want to see her come back."
Xiao Yinhan's handsome face looked ferocious and terrifying, and his words were cold and devoid of any popularity.
The people under his command knew that this was a death order and they would "rob" the person back at all costs.
"yes!"
-
"I've thought about it. On the day of departure, you can wear my clothes and stand guard for me for a while. Just think of it as returning my favor~" Jiang Tang said with a smile.
Nan Xing, who was grinding spices, raised his head in surprise and met the girl's beautiful face.
Her expression was natural, as if it was just a small request.
The young man's eyes dimmed slightly, as if there was a hint of sarcasm flashing through his eyes, and then he spoke as obediently and docile as ever: "Okay."
System: I thought the host fell in love with the poor puppy, but it turned out that it was overthinking...
