Chapter 25 True and False Affection

"I just don't want you to wrong others and waste your life!" Lan Ling pulled out the hairpin on his head and stabbed himself in the neck, "Let her go!"

Ling Chen stood up abruptly, "What did you say?"

"Let Xixiang go, let her go! She didn't do it!" Lan Ling stabbed his neck, and the sweet smell rushed up from his chest.

A mouthful of blood spit out.

Ling Chen frowned, waved at the soldier, and walked over.

On the wedding night, he had seen her protecting her maid from death.

This woman, there are always things that he can't control.

The soldiers stopped, the sound of slaps on the flesh was no longer in their ears, and Lan Ling's heart calmed down.

"Mrs. Ling, why do you still refuse to admit something that you girl has admitted? Your girl also said that she did it herself, so what are you fighting for?" Guan Yue was a little angry.

Lan Ling didn't look at her, and looked directly at Liu Shangshu: "Lord Shangshu, I didn't kill your nephew, that's the prince's child, I won't hurt him, but this child is really gone, you don't want to find it... .."

Lan Ling wanted to say, don't you want to find the real murderer, she already knew the name of the medicine. She remembered where she had seen this medicine.

But before she could finish speaking, Ling Chen kicked her in the heart, and Lan Ling fell to the ground unprepared.

He knocked his head to the ground and broke his skin.

"Something that I don't regret! Come on, send Mrs. Ling to the hall for thought! No one is allowed to visit, and those who violate it will be executed!"

Ling Chen's cold voice sounded in Lan Ling's ears. Another burst of fishy sweetness came up, and she spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground in a coma.

It was cold and cold in the thinking hall. Lan Ling felt dizzy, the blood on the clothes had hardened, and it was rubbed on the skin, rubbed together, and continued to rub out new blood.

She reluctantly pulled the thin shirt up, and after several attempts, she was unable to lift it up. He was soft and shivering coldly, but beads of sweat rolled down his back.

Will he die here? Why is this happening?

Xixiang is definitely dead.

The dizziness was getting worse and worse, she shrank into a ball, leaned in the corner, sitting on the cold hard board, her throat was burnt with charcoal, and the roaring in her ears became louder and louder.

In a trance, someone tore her sleeve, the wound on her arm hurt, and something cold came over, which made her feel very comfortable.

Someone pried her mouth open and gave her water, yes, water.

She didn't drink water one day and one night.

There was also a pill that entered her mouth together. The special fragrance of lover grass was her heart-protecting pill.

"Lixia," she called softly.

"Lixia, I'm sorry, I didn't protect Xixiang... I know she was forced, Xixiang, I'm sorry... Xixiang..."

Someone has her. A faint sigh.

"For you, she must die. She can die for you, as a slave, it is also worth it."

A big hand caressed her forehead.

Bouts of dizziness, sometimes awake, sometimes in a coma. whose voice is this?

"Lingchen, why are you doing this to me? On Moshan, are those fake? I hate you! I hate you!" Lan Ling muttered to himself.

"Hate it, just hate it like that." He looked down at her, holding her in his palm, with blushing cheeks, shortness of breath, a wound on his forehead, blood on his arms, and a few traces of blood on the corners of his mouth.

She is always so embarrassed.

"Master, how to deal with it, it has been found out who gave the medicine."

"Don't move for the time being, look for someone to keep an eye on it. How can you be light-hearted if you kill my child! There can't be any changes now."

Ling Chen's eyes were as cold as ice.

"Master, the cavalry battalion has all been transferred. Apart from the black part that was destroyed, most of the red part was also damaged. The leader is very mysterious. Some soldiers said that the blue city led a sneak attack, and there were no prisoners, and the one caught had committed suicide. ."

Tian Ming said in a low voice.

Ling Chen frowned, "Blue City!"

"They are still very excited. Except for General Han, everyone has always believed that Mrs. Ling leaked the secret. The Northwest Hou is especially excited."

"Well, he originally had a holiday with the Grand Marshal. He could help me because of this. As for whether he really helps me, it depends on how we play our cards!"

"As for her, just this matter, I don't believe she will betray me." Ling Chen held Lan Ling's hand tightly again.

"My subordinates don't believe it either. But if they know such a detailed garrison route, they must be insiders." Tian Ming said worriedly.

"This person must be found as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles, and we don't know what he has to do."

"You can check these in the next two days." Ling Chen instructed Tian Ming.

The person in his arms moved, and his soft and delicate body leaned against Ling Chen's body.

His hand caressed her bare scars, hugged her tightly, and drew his fingers from her forehead and closed eyes.

Seemingly lazy, even inattentive.

The sliding fingers fell and slowly slid around her waist. Pausing, he clenched his fists.

She could always provoke the deepest desires of his body. Any time. As if he was inexplicably crazy about her body. He is not short of women, but only her, only her.

Tian Ming has already laid the quilt. Ling Chen hugged her up, put her down, and gave her a sleeping hole. Carbon was put in the brazier, and there was some warmth in the room.

"At this time, Beiyi invaded, and King Ning declared that he was ill and made it clear that he did not want to fight." Gu Fan said.

"The invasion of Beiyi is not accidental. King Ning's ambition is already obvious. At present, the only thing that King Ning fears is the prince. If the prince goes to defend against Beiyi, everything in the imperial capital will probably be under the control of Prince Ning..."

Tian Ming was worried. What the emperor meant today was to let King An fight the battle.

"Beiyi is too arrogant. If we can't avoid going to war, why don't we just do it." Ling Chen stared at Si Guoxian on the wall: If you beat me, don't be jealous, if you are weak, don't be stingy.

"What does your lord mean?"

"Since King Ning is so impatient, we will give him this chance. He must not underestimate his father!" Ling Chen sneered.

"Your Highness wants to sit back and reap the profits?"

"The most successful battle is to achieve your goal without a single knife or a single shot." Ling Chen's eyes shone brightly.

"I can even help King Ning. This king also really wants to see the power of his father's Canglong guard. It's just that the palace and Yuncheng need to be laid out in detail. I'll think about it these days."

"My lord, do you want to call them today? Tomorrow morning, the emperor will definitely decide on the selection of the imperial enemy." Tian Ming reminded Ling Chen.

"No. I'm not at ease if the traitor is not found. I'm thinking about it."

Lan Ling snorted a few times, Ling Chen looked at her, and gently stroked her frown.

"My lord, why don't you tell Mrs. Ling the truth? You are protecting her because everyone wants to kill her. If you don't say that she will misunderstand you and hate you." Tian Ming couldn't bear it.

"Hate it. She won't hide her thoughts. If she knows the reason, she will reveal her secrets. Tian Ming has been taking care of her here for the past few days, and no one can come near here."

"Yes. It's almost dawn, you squint for a while." Tian Ming saw that Ling Chen had barely slept all night.

"No need. Let's go."

Lan Ling woke up the next day and saw himself huddled under the covers.

The wound on the arm has been treated and the fever has subsided. A white gauze was wrapped around his forehead.

The house is quiet.

At the door sat Tian Ming, who was wiping the sword in his hand.

Lan Ling sat up.

Tian Ming stood up: "Mrs. Ling, are you awake?"

"Is this still overthinking?" Lan Ling asked.

"Yes."

"Xixiang, what happened to Xixiang?"

Tian Ming looked at Lan Ling and opened his mouth.

"Already killed."

Lan Ling fell to the ground, Tian Ming helped her up.

"He still killed her. He still won't let me speak. Tian Ming, it wasn't Xixiang who killed Mrs. Hui's child, no!"

Lan Ling was trembling all over, an innocent life, in his eyes, was it really like an ant?

Tian Ming helped her sit on the wooden board covered with the quilt.

Lan Ling's eyes were a little frantic.

"Madam, my lord, he's not stupid!" Tian Ming didn't know how to tell her.

"I know he's not stupid, he just doesn't love! He doesn't want any explanation from me!"

"It's not like that. Madam, do you know why the lord suddenly left you out after returning from Moshan?"
