Jiang Ling 'er was frightened. Suddenly, she slammed her body against the back of the chair, causing it to tilt back slightly. She let out a series of screams. Just as the chair was about to topple over, Zuo Shanyi stood up and pulled the chair back.
The chair fell to the ground with a loud thud. Jiang Ling 'er also swayed with the chair from back to front. She lost her balance and fell headfirst onto Zuo Shanyi!
At this moment, Zuo Shanyi was leaning forward, trying to control the back of his chair to prevent him from falling to the ground. In order to prevent herself from falling to the ground, she hugged Zuo Shanyi's waist tightly with her arms and pressed her face against his stomach when she fell down with the weight of the chair.
Zuo Shanyi instantly sensed Jiang Ling 'er's embrace. This position was strange and ambiguous. Zuo Shanyi did not dare to look at it or move. He was like a petrified statue. Even if the blood on his head accidentally flowed into his eyes, he did not dare to wipe it away. He let his eyes blink uncomfortably. At this moment, it was as if time had stopped.
Jiang Ling 'er felt that although Zuo Shanyi's stomach was as hard as his face, it was quite comfortable to rub against it. It was as if a warm current had passed through her heart. What was he doing! What are you rubbing against! Jiang Ling 'er wondered if her second personality had come out to ruin her again!
Zuo Shanyi blushed from his face to his neck as she rubbed against him. His whole body felt numb and hot, and his heart itched. What was he thinking and feeling? His belly belonged to his fiancée, and only his fiancée could lie on it! How could this woman…how could she rub herself against him! Moreover, she was the Marquis's woman, his savior. How could she be so shameless and disregard her status? What a disgrace!
Jiang Ling 'er held onto Zuo Shanyi's motionless body and stood on the ground. She bent her body and walked to the side. She looked shy and did not know what to say to ease the awkward atmosphere. Fortunately, he had listened to Zuo Shanyi's words and dismissed the surrounding palace people. Otherwise, there would have been a big mess. Tomorrow, there might be a rumor in the palace that the Marquis 'wife had an affair with the little state preceptor.
Jiang Ling 'er stood still, keeping a distance from Zuo Shanyi.
She took out a handkerchief from her pocket, tiptoed and carefully leaned forward, handing it to Zuo Shanyi.""If you have something to say…let's talk it out. Don't kowtow anymore.”
Zuo Shanyi felt that the woman in front of him seemed to be emitting a kind of magic. Anyone who was close to her would be attracted to her. It was as if he knew some soul-seducing technique. For example, just now, Zuo Shanyi, who only had his fiancée in his heart and would never be seduced by any woman, was mesmerized by her for a moment.
Jiang Ling 'er waved the handkerchief in front of Zuo Shanyi for a while before he took it. It wasn't that Zuo Shanyi wanted to take the handkerchief, but he was afraid that Jiang Ling 'er would fall again if she continued to lean forward. Then, there would definitely be physical contact. He didn't want to get close to this woman anymore.
Although Jiang Ling 'er had the same name as his dead fiancée, she felt completely different. Moreover, she was much more beautiful than his own Ling' er. He did not dare to look at Jiang Ling 'er again, afraid that every time he looked at her, he would feel that he had let down the Ling' er in his heart.
Zuo Shanyi casually wiped the blood off his forehead and placed the handkerchief on the table. He knelt on the ground again, but this time, he didn't kowtow. It wasn't that he didn't want to kowtow to apologize, but Jiang Ling 'er had just said that she couldn't stand it."This lowly subject has let down my savior. I really deserve to die!”
"What did you do to let me down?”Jiang Ling 'er looked like she was blind. She did not know where his so-called shame came from.
Zuo Shanyi's expression was extremely conflicted. His eyebrows were tightly knitted as he said in a low voice,""This lowly official is here to ask a benefactor to save a child. Now, only if you step forward will he have a chance of being saved.”
Jiang Ling 'er came to a realization. It seemed that this child's identity was unusual, and this matter must have something to do with Yulong Keji."Who is it?"
"The orphan of the previous prince." Zuo Shanyi held it in for a while before saying,"I know that this request is too difficult for you, but he is still the grandson of the old Marquis. How can he live in the Cold Palace? I heard that the Marquis has been making things difficult for the Crown Prince's women and children in the Cold Palace.”
Jiang Ling 'er finally understood why Zuo Shanyi was so nervous. Based on her understanding of him, he was indeed a person who valued relationships. It was not strange for him to ask her for help for the orphan of his previous life. However, she did not know what she could do to help.
"I'm just a tiny wisp in the harem. I'm afraid the Marquis won't be able to help even if he wants to.”Jiang Ling 'er didn't reject him on purpose, but she knew her limits.
Zuo Shanyi took out a short knife that he had prepared beforehand and presented it to Jiang Ling 'er with both hands.""If I can't save the heir's orphan, I can only die!”
He didn't want to force Jiang Ling 'er to do anything. He had no choice. During the meeting today, Yulong Keji had mentioned the matter of the Crown Prince's orphan. He said that if he could become his son, he would let him go. It was a pity that a good child was left in the Cold Palace and slowly became a cripple. That was when he thought of Jiang Ling' er.
Why was this person so stubborn? If not, he would kowtow to death. This was forcing him to die. Other than these big moves, there wasn't a good way to treat you, him, me, the whole family, and the neighbors!
Jiang Ling 'er felt a cloud of worry over her head. She flung her sleeves angrily and sat back on the chair with a displeased expression. She raised a hand and gestured for her to leave."If you think that if you die, the heir's orphan will be saved, then you can just slit your throat. I won't stop you!”
Jiang Ling 'er really didn't know why he was so persistent about this. She was his savior. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She said angrily,"Is this how you treat your savior?”
Zuo Shanyi was hit by her words. He thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. Jiang Ling 'er had done him a favor, and he had not had the time to repay her, but he had forced himself on her. It made Jiang Ling' er owe him something. If he died in Qingya Palace today, he was afraid that it would bring Jiang Ling 'er unnecessary trouble. If it was serious, he might even kill her.
He walked up to Jiang Ling 'er and slammed the short knife on the table. He said sincerely,""This dagger is a treasured saber that I found in the Western Regions. Today, I'm giving it to my benefactor. It was my fault for not caring about the feelings of my benefactor!”
Zuo Shanyi's sudden change in attitude was truly amazing. Jiang Ling 'er was stunned for a moment before her eyes lit up."What a good saber!"
Jiang Ling 'er's interest was immediately piqued when she heard that it was a treasured saber from the Western Regions. She picked up the short saber from the table and unsheathed it. She saw that the saber was slightly curved and extremely sharp, shining with silver light. It was unstoppable.
Jiang Ling 'er played with it in her hand and looked at it carefully. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it."What a good saber. Does it have a name? If not, I'll give it one!"
Zuo Shanyi was happy to see that she liked this saber so much. Anything that could make up for his impulsive actions made him feel better."This saber doesn't have a name yet!"
"How about we call it the Spirit Blade?" Jiang Ling 'er waved the short knife in the air twice. The knife seemed to know that she was its master and let out a soft resonance sound. This was a rare treasure.
Jiang Ling 'er pondered for a moment and felt that the name was not domineering enough."Forget it. I can name it again in the future. I feel like Lingling isn't worthy of this sword.”
"Benefactor, you can do whatever you like." Zuo Shanyi looked at Jiang Ling 'er's beaming face and felt comforted. Although this was his beloved item, it was a suitable gift and worth it.
Seeing how obedient he was, Jiang Ling 'er mischievously raised her arm and poked the stone lump's chest with her finger. His chest was as hard as his stomach. Could this person's entire body be as hard as a rock? Was she too relaxed? This kind of behavior was very strange in the eyes of others. Jiang Ling 'er quickly grabbed her second personality and stuffed it back into her body, afraid that it would run out again if she was not careful.
Zuo Shanyi was stunned by her actions. Although it was a casual feeling, it was also a kind of teasing to the man.
Jiang Ling 'er saw his strange expression and knew that it must have been caused by her actions. She cleared her throat and returned to her serious and solemn female state."Thank you, Little State Preceptor, for giving me the knife. I will definitely cherish it well.”
Zuo Shanyi came back to his senses and immediately cupped his fists."Benefactor, you can just call me goodwill in private!”
Jiang Ling 'er nodded in agreement, and then she called him' Goodness'. Not only did it sound quite smooth, it was much more comfortable than calling him Little State Preceptor. It also showed that the relationship between the two of them was much closer."Then Little State Preceptor, stop calling me your benefactor!”
"How should I address my benefactor?”Zuo Shangyi continued to ask for guidance with cupped fists. Seeing that Jiang Ling 'er had turned around and did not answer for a long time, he took a step forward and continued,"How should I address you, benefactor?”
Jiang Ling 'er walked to the window and opened it to look out. The sky outside was clear and the wind was refreshing. She really wanted to conjure a pair of wings and secretly fly out of the window to soar into the sky."Call me Ling 'er!"
Zuo Shanyi thought for a moment and walked to Mo Ran's side, saluting,""Yes, benefactor!"
Jiang Ling 'er really didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this big rock. Didn't he already say that he called her Ling' er? The more she interacted with Zuo Shanyi, the more Jiang Ling 'er felt at ease with him. She felt that he was someone who would be of great use in the future and was worth befriending. It was not in vain for her to save him.
Jiang Ling 'er was worried that if Yulong Keji suddenly came to Qingya Palace and saw her with Zuo Shanyi, it would cause trouble. She was about to urge Zuo Shanyi to leave, but he said goodbye first,""I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to stay here for a long time, so I'll take my leave first.”
At night, after Imperial Dragon Restrain finished his work, he came to Jiang Ling 'er's place. After seeing Jiang Ling' er, he felt that the fatigue of the day had dissipated a lot, and a smile could be seen on his face.
