Situ Ningxiang's words flashed through Lingfei's mind like a movie - in fact, you are a bit like my mother. She blurted out: "I look like Concubine Jiang?"
Situ Chen's face darkened: "You know?"
Lingfei opened his eyes wide and said uneasily: "Ningxiang told me that I look like her mother. I was still depressed at the time. How old is her mother and how old am I? How can I look like her?"
Situ Chen believed her words and said in a low voice: "You don't look like Concubine Jiang. She is a beauty, but she is not as charming as Concubine Jiang. She is not as smooth and smart as you, otherwise she would not have died unjustly in the palace."
"
Lingfei felt strange now. She frowned and asked, "They don't look alike, and they don't have the same temperament, so how are they similar?"
Situ Chen looked at her complicatedly and said while thinking: "I can't tell exactly what the resemblance is. Maybe it's a kind of aura. The longer we stay together, the more people will think of Concubine Jiang."
Lingfei was at a loss. What does this mean? Aura?
Situ Chen immediately said: "I and Ningxiang have this feeling, and my father must also have it. The way he looks at you is always more or less tender. You should know what to do, which is the wisest thing."
Lingfei raised his eyes and looked at Situ Chen for a long time, sighed and whispered: "I always felt that my father's attitude towards me was very strange. Now I finally understand the reason, but your worries are unnecessary. I also misunderstood him before.
Yes, I think he just treats me as his daughter. Do you know what he said to me in the house before?"
Situ Chen raised his eyebrows and waited for her to continue.
"Father said that you are too much like him. You may not be a good son, but you will be a good man."
Situ Chen was stunned for a long time and could not speak. He just kept looking at Ling Fei quietly. The expression on his face was as calm as water, but the fire in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger, making Ling Fei feel like he was suffocating.
Situ Chen took a strand of Lingfei's long hair and played with it in his hands, but his eyes never left her eyes. He leaned down and kissed her lips that were trying to shrink back and escape, lingering over and over again.
When Lingfei thought of the child in his belly, he felt a sharp heartache and couldn't help but tremble.
Situ Chen hugged her into his arms, with seven months of pregnancy between them. He couldn't let her stick to his chest, and he didn't dare to pull hard, so he had no choice but to let go of Lingfei and looked at her.
Said: "Little girl, if you say you love me, I want you to say it yourself."
A trace of pain flashed in Lingfei's eyes, and she turned away without saying a word.
Situ Chen raised her chin, forcing her to look at him, his deep eyes looking straight into her heart
Lingfei looked at him for a long time, and finally gave up resistance and whispered: "I don't dare."
"Is there anything else you don't dare to do? I think you have always been very courageous."
Lingfei looked at him blankly. She had been avoiding this problem and was unwilling to face it, but Situ Chen did not intend to let her be an ostrich forever.
Lingfei sighed and said honestly: "Because there is no chance of winning, I don't dare. I know what the prince wants. If you fail, we will be destroyed together; if you succeed, facing the strife in the harem, I will also be destroyed."
If you want to survive in destruction, you can only remain calm and emotionless. Care will lead to chaos, and emotion will make you sad.”
She said her words of rejection, but a smile appeared on Situ Chen's lips. He lowered his head and whispered in Lingfei's ear: "The principles are all right, but whether you can do it or not is another matter. Many things happen in person."
If you can't help it, if you really don't want to be emotional, you can only think about those words in your heart and never say them in front of me."
Ling Fei took a step back, her face turned blue, the shadow was entangled, the child in her belly, she couldn't lie to herself that nothing happened, how could she dare to love, let alone love the person she deceived...
Seeing her expression, Situ Chen sighed secretly and couldn't bear to push her anymore. Although she refused to say anything, he could already see her heart from her eyes.
He changed the topic and said to Lingfei with a smile: "I won't bullshit you anymore. Now let's think about how to find the mastermind behind the scenes within 15 days. Have you figured out a way?"
Lingfei was stunned for two seconds before she realized what Situ Chen was talking about. She blinked her eyes, brought her thoughts back to business, pulled up his sleeves and said, "Let's go back to the hut first, maybe there are clues."
Situ Chen followed her footsteps with a smile, her little hands pinched his sleeves, her movements were natural and harmonious
Ling Fei and Situ Chen just walked back to the hut when they saw Qingwei, who had arrived earlier. Qingwei reached out and handed over a jade pendant and said, "I found this on the ground. Do you recognize it?"
Lingfei took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat. She had seen Mu Xuan wear this jade pendant before. Why would Mu Xuan do this? She glanced at Situ Chen calmly.
Situ Chen shook his head affirmatively
Lingfei suddenly held his stomach, frowned, and groaned twice in pain.
Situ Chen hurriedly walked forward, hugged her sideways, and said softly: "Do you feel uncomfortable? Take a rest first, don't worry about it anymore."
Lingfei obediently let him carry her back to the hut, leaned in his arms and whispered, "Someone wants to frame Mu Xuan?"
Situ Chen's lips raised a slight smile: "This is not Mu Xuan's, these jade pendants are a pair."
Lingfei took a breath: "Leng Yue? Why did Leng Yue do this... Could it be that Situ Jing wanted to facilitate the marriage and asked Qingwei to bring Ningxiang to Lingguo as soon as possible, so he had to let the raw rice be cooked.
?”
Situ Chen's eyes flashed with deep light, and he looked at Lingfei and said: "Then he is too stupid. How did he know that his father would promote this marriage? He might have killed Qingwei in anger, wouldn't it?
Busy work in vain”
"So, someone is going to blame Leng Yue!"
Situ Chen nodded: "Judging from the condition of Su Yangming's death, it was also Leng Yuexia's hand, but I don't believe that Situ Jing would do such stupid things as murder and silence."
Lingfei stood up from the bed and wanted to rush out the door. Situ Chen grabbed her, put his arms around her waist, and said with a smile: "You can do a full set of acting, how can you become so lively and energetic so quickly? I still support you."
With you"
Lingfei rolled her eyes at him and made it clear that he was taking advantage of her through acting. Hum, she was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and followed Situ Chen out of the hut.
"Is the princess okay?" Qingwei glanced sideways at her.
Lingfei nodded pretending to be delicate: "It's okay, maybe I'm too tired."
While she was perfunctory with Qingwei, she searched the ground carefully. Heavy rains occurred frequently in summer, and the soil in front of the house was very wet. Although it had been overnight and half a day, the footprints on the ground were still vaguely visible.
Qingwei said thoughtfully: "I have seen this jade pendant on one of the followers of the Fourth Prince..."
Lingfei walked step by step to the front of the house following the footprints, with a faint smile in her eyes. She raised her head and said to Qingwei: "I also know the person the general mentioned, but this time, I'm afraid it's not him."
