"You know, I am indifferent by nature. If I knew that you were not dead, I would be too lazy to care about the death of your other men. So you never told me that you were still alive, just so that I could continue to find out the truth and then talk to the prince.
I will fight against you and help you get revenge."
Chang Ning looked at the face that he thought was still a child, but now had completely grown into a man's face, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated this nephew, "You calculated that I was still alive, and you also calculated that I would definitely help you.
."
"Yes." Lin Zhi's voice was weak and he admitted without hesitation, "I have no other choice but to take a gamble."
Chang Ning sneered, and then a little girl came in from outside the house. The little girl picked many flowers in her hands and ran to Chang Ning happily, standing on tiptoes to hand the flowers to him.
Chang Ning looked at the unattractive wild flowers in front of him with some disgust and didn't really want to take them.
The little girl's eyes turned red with anxiety, and she stubbornly said, "Brother, I'll give you flowers..."
He had no choice but to lower his body and take the flower in his hand, and then said fiercely, "You are not allowed to pick these wild flowers and give them to me anymore, do you hear me?"
The little girl heard it, but she only chuckled a few times and did not respond.
Lin Zhi looked carefully for a while before he realized that this little girl seemed to be a child adopted by the Marquis of Jingning. What was her name, An'an?
He still remembered that when he found Shen Shu in the heavy rain that day, she hugged the child tightly.
Thinking of Shen Shu, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart, "Where is Shen Shu?"
"I don't know." Chang Ning dismissed An An before speaking to Lin Zhi.
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something again, "Last time I went down the mountain to buy medicine, I seemed to find that she was still looking for you."
Lin Zhi said "hmm", and then suddenly lowered his eyes to look at his fingers, which were so thin that they were skinny and boneless.
Although he didn't see his face in the mirror, he could still imagine what he looked like at this time——
Neither humans nor ghosts.
Chang Ning sighed. He didn't know how to comfort people, so he could only boil some medicine and bring it to Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi frowned and looked at the dark concoction in the medicine bowl in front of him, and suddenly said, "If I drink these medicines every day, it's a miracle that I can survive..."
Chang Ning was a little unconvinced at first, but after looking at the medicine bowl for a while, he also found it a bit funny, "Actually, the medicines taken in the first two months are quite normal."
"Then two months have passed and you still haven't woken up. I think the previous medicine was still too conservative..."
He just stuffed all kinds of medicine into Lin Zhi's mouth. Since his little nephew hadn't died after struggling for so many years, he just let it go and waited for a miracle...
He was not good at medical skills, so this was the only solution he could think of.
After he finished speaking, he was a little angry, and put the still hot medicine bowl directly into Lin Zhi's hand, "Do you know that when you were in a coma, I studied these medicines every day until I collapsed. What I wanted to do most was
I just want to wake you up quickly and let you prepare your own medicine."
Lin Zhi suddenly smiled when he saw his irritable look. His uncle, as usual... hates medical skills.
…
Three and a half months later, Shen Shu saw Lu Jiaojiao again on her way to find Lin Zhi.
It was already the twelfth lunar month of winter, and she was wearing tattered clothes and begging for food along the road. From time to time, someone put their hands into her clothes that were no longer covering her body, and then threw a few coins at her in disgust.
She didn't mind too much, she just grinned stupidly and opened her mouth to smile when she received the coin. She happily held the coin in her arms. Whenever this happened, someone saw that there was no tongue in her mouth.
Shen Shu pursed her lips and looked at her for a while, then asked Chang Feng next to her, "Is she crazy?"
"Yes, after the prince left that day, he left her there with the tiger. She was so frightened that she went crazy on the spot. Later, the prince saved her and said that for such people, living is a better punishment than death. .”
Shen Shu said "hmm", looked away again, and continued walking forward.
Changfeng looked at her belly with some worry.
She was four and a half months pregnant, and her abdomen had bulged into a small arc, but it was hidden under the loose clothes so that others could not see it. She had learned many medical skills from Lin Zhi in the past, and besides looking for Lin Zhi every day, she took care of herself.
To this day, she still has not been able to find Lin Zhi.
The falling snowflakes fell on her face, bringing a small chill.
Snowflakes are falling one after another in the capital, and the temperature is getting lower day by day.
Shen Shu raised her head and looked at the snowflakes in front of her. She couldn't help thinking that her Ah Zhi was already in poor health. How cold would he be without her warmth in such a cold day?
…
On New Year's Eve, Lin Zhi was finally able to stand up.
Chang Ning made him some ugly dumplings and was not surprised to see him standing up. He just put the dumplings in front of Lin Zhi and said, "Eat."
This is the first time that the two of them have celebrated the New Year together. In the past, Lin Zhi was a prince and celebrated the New Year in the palace. Chang Ning didn't like palace banquets and had never been there.
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at the crooked dumplings for a long time. It wasn't until Chang Ning was about to burst into tears that he took them away, then he asked, "How is A'luo?"
"Still looking for you. I took a look at her from a distance. She was standing next to Changfeng. She seemed to have gained some weight."
"As you know, Changfeng is very skilled in martial arts and protects her closely every day. I dare not approach her or enter the palace."
Lin Zhi said "hmm" again, lowered his head and went to eat dumplings.
Chang Ning watched him eat for a while, then suddenly said, "You really don't want to see her?"
Lin Zhi suddenly raised his head, and Chang Ning saw his face again.
He stopped talking again.
Those poisons acted together and tortured him so much that he lost half of his life. No one knew how long he could live, and no one knew whether the next poison attack would cause the world to collapse.
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes again, and after eating an unpalatable dumpling, he suddenly spoke solemnly to Chang Ning, "I researched a medicine for her to forget me, and put it in a brocade bag embroidered with lilies."
"If I die, please help me feed her the medicine."
The steam from the dumplings blurred his face. Chang Ning looked at him for a while and finally said "hmm".
Four months later, the new year has quietly arrived, and Changning went down the mountain again.
This time, he saw a familiar little trash.
It is eternal life.
Ever since Lin Zhi was taken away by Chang Ning, Chang Sheng has been looking for Chang Ning, searching day and night, and even his brother thought he was crazy.
No one knows, the reason for searching so hard is guilt.
If he had told Chief Lin that Chang Ning was a spy, maybe the situation would have been different.
Changning looked at Changsheng for a while and suddenly remembered his nephew who asked him about his wife three times a day in the mountains.
He suddenly felt that this little waste seemed to be of some use?
…
Early the next morning, Changsheng, who had been missing for several days, suddenly returned to the palace excitedly.
At this time, Lian Changfeng had just woken up. Looking at his excited brother, he seriously suspected that he had a mental problem.
Changsheng said, "Brother...brother...I...I found Changning!"
"He's in that mountain!"
Chang Feng frowned and was a little worried. Chang Ning was so powerful in martial arts. How could his younger brother casually discover it and come back alive to report it?
"I saw it with my own eyes! It was in that mountain!"
"Did he see you?"
"Saw!"
"Did he attack you?"
Changsheng shook his head, thought for a moment and then replied, "Not only did he not take action, he also smiled at me."
At noon, Shen Shu led a group of people in a carriage to the mountain where Changsheng said.
The snow on the mountain was endless. Shen Shu squinted her eyes for a while, and the reflection of the snow made her eyes hurt. Then she turned to look at Chang Lan, "Ah Zhi will be inside." ?"
Chang Lan was silent for a while, and then squeezed Shen Shu's hand tightly, as if to give Shen Shu confidence, but more like giving herself confidence, "It will be in there."
