"I have been investigating since the incident between you and Lieutenant Lien. It was not until a few days before your return that I finally identified the target."
Leng Lingying raised her sharp eyebrows, and her cold voice was full of meaning, "Why are you telling me this? Offending him will not do you any good."
Zuo Li said bluntly, "I don't know why that person did this, and I don't know who was instructing him. I just hope that your highness, you, can be safe. This is my biggest wish."
Leng Ling handed the document back to Assistant with an indifferent expression, "I'm not familiar with you, so you don't need to do this for me."
Saori looked at the window sill with a long look, "Your Highness, I still have fresh memories of that banquet ten years ago."
Looking at the man in front of her with dark eyes, Leng Ling frowned slightly, but she couldn't remember it no matter how hard she tried.
Seeing a trace of confusion in the other party's dark eyes, Saori smiled slightly and said, "Maybe you don't remember, but I don't. At that time, I had just graduated from law school and came to the banquet with my teacher. That was
This is my first time seeing you."
The pale lips tightened, and Leng Ling's thoughts seemed to return to that banquet along with the man's narration.
ten years ago
"Your Highness Leng Ling, you must attend today's banquet. You must not miss it again. In the past two times, because you pretended to be sick, the prince and princess were worried about your affairs."
A boy in pure white clothes stood in the banquet hall, his clear eyes looking at the servants preparing for the dinner, and his delicate and beautiful face revealed a trace of imperceptible impatience.
"I understand," a voice as melodious as a bird slowly rose, and the handsome boy said to the boy who was a head taller than him. "Jerry, I want to go to the garden to play for a while."
"Your Highness, do you need me to accompany you?"
The voice of the boy who was in the voice-changing stage sounded a little strange. Jerry looked at his master, his big lead-grey eyes full of loyalty.
Leng Ling waved her hands repeatedly, "No, you can go take care of Xiaolin and Xiaolie. They should be taking a nap now. There will be no one around for a while, and they will start crying again."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Leng Ling pushed open the back door of the mansion and followed the tree-lined path to the depths of the garden.
There is a small door deep in the garden, which leads to the main road to Luoshan, which is convenient for gardeners to enter and exit. Leng Ling also discovered it accidentally.
Sometimes when he had nothing to do, he would sneak out of the small door and follow the road to the nearby woods.
When the weather was fine, he could stay there all afternoon, reading his favorite book under the warm sunshine, smelling the fragrance of flowers, and listening to the chirping of birds. It was extremely comfortable.
Although Leng Ling was born into the royal family, he did not like going to crowded places since he was a child, and he was even more disgusted with the social interactions of the upper class.
In the past, in order to avoid those dinner parties, he would pretend to be ill and not even go to his parents. However, in order not to violate his wishes, they never forced him to attend. After all, Leng
Ling is still young, so it’s no big deal if he doesn’t participate.
However, this dinner is a little different.
Firstly, it is because Leng Ling is over ten years old. In Lansen, aristocratic children over ten years old must attend the banquet. Secondly, this banquet is the first time Leng Ling meets the public. This banquet is important for many reasons.
It is also held for him. Therefore, no matter how much he dislikes it, he must attend.
There were still several hours before the banquet, so Leng Ling took advantage of this time to come to the grove.
The afternoon sun shines on the ground through the gaps between the leaves, forming irregular mottled shadows. The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. The breeze is gentle, and it is quiet and quiet.
Leng Ling was wearing Lansen's traditional costume, with wide sleeves and long front hem that dragged to the ground. It was very inconvenient to walk, so it took him a while to reach the big tree where he usually likes to stay.
Down.
There were several birds flying over the sky, with a few black shadows. Leng Ling raised his head, trying to catch their appearance.
Looking at the criss-crossing leaves above his head with clear eyes, he reached out and spread his fingers, covered his face with the back of his hand, and looked up through the gaps between his fingers.
The three little birds had already flown to the big tree next to them, hopping around in the nests they had built among the branches. Their "chirping" sounds revealed their excitement at the moment.
Looking at the naughty looks of the three little guys, Leng Ling slowly leaned against the big tree behind him, with a look of envy in his eyes.
How wonderful it would be if I were also a little bird, so that I could fly freely.
Listening to the chirping of the birds and basking in the warm sunshine, Leng Ling fell asleep unconsciously. The warm spring breeze blew by, and the fresh orchid fragrance was diffused in the air, which made people smell it.
Comfortable.
He rubbed his eyes and stretched. The tip of his nose was filled with the pleasant fragrance of flowers. He suddenly wanted to find the source of the fragrance and see what kind of flowers there could emit such a light and elegant fragrance.
Following the source of the fragrance, he walked gradually deeper into the woods, and the fragrance of the flowers in front of him became more intense as he approached.
Finally, Leng Ling came to a deserted path.
There, I don't know who planted a large area of orchids. Flowers of various colors clustered together and bloomed under the sunlight.
The inexplicable fragrance of flowers, faint and with an indescribable sadness, tells a story that only they themselves know in a deserted place.
Smelling the intoxicating fragrance, the delicate young man looked at the colorful sea of flowers in front of him. The elegant and refreshing fragrance surrounded him, he slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and was intoxicated by it.
At this moment, he felt like he was in a sea of flowers, forgetting all his worries, but was infected by that inexplicable sadness.
The warm wind blows by, the fragrance of flowers floats, and Leng Ling quietly opens his eyes.
Out of the corner of his eye, a strange figure turned his head subconsciously, and he saw a pair of beautiful eyes that he had never seen before.
