Chapter 16 Chapter 16
Her exquisite eyes carefully looked at the brocade bag on Qi Zhen's waist, her eyes were filled with gentle emotions, but there was also a hint of tears.
Qi Zhen wears this brocade pouch every day. The embroidery on the brocade pouch has worn out, but you can still clearly see several clusters of green bamboo. This shows that the owner must have taken good care of it.
Linglong shook her head and smiled, not sure whether she was laughing at herself for being stupid or at Qi Zhen for being hateful.
Qi Zhen looked at her smiling face with tears in her eyes. He was slightly panicked and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?" While asking, he raised his hand to check the temperature of Linglong's forehead.
Linglong turned her head to avoid it. As she moved, a tear fell from her eyes.
She stared blankly at the tears falling on the back of her hands and asked softly: "Your Highness, do you still remember what I once asked you?"
Qi Zhen frowned slightly when he heard this.
Linglong asked him many questions, but he couldn't remember which one she said.
"You asked Gu Gu many things." Sensing that Linglong's expression was wrong, Qi Zhen replied after thinking about it.
After hearing this, Linglong raised her head and looked at Qi Zhen, with mixed emotions in her heart.
Look, this is His Highness the Crown Prince, who has a tongue as bright as a lotus flower. Even if he doesn't remember, he can still answer without revealing anything.
Yes, she asked him many questions, and every word was filled with pain and embarrassment, full of hope and love.
But Qi Zhen may not take it to heart.
Even the words she asked him, perhaps he never answered her sincerely.
Just like this sentence today.
Linglong raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her palms filled with tears.
"Yes, I have asked His Highness many things. How can His Highness remember them?" She said with a hint of ridicule, laughing at herself for being stupid.
Qi Zhen heard the thorniness in her voice, his eyebrows grew colder, and he lowered his voice and said: "If you have something to say, just say it. There is no need to make such weird remarks, I won't understand."
Weird words? Linglong's smile became more and more beautiful, but the water in her eyes could no longer be held back.
"Your Highness, you don't understand? Even though you are as smart as your Highness, there are things you don't understand?" Linglong tightened her grip on the quilt beside her knees, and the tears between her brows and eyes turned into ice thorns, falling on Qi Zhen one by one.
Qi Zhen looked at the exquisite appearance in front of him, his heart felt dry and depressed, and he felt that women were really troublesome.
"What on earth do you want to say?" He frowned, his patience gradually losing.
Linglong looked at Qi Zhen's irritable expression, and the crack in her heart became increasingly irreparable.
The nail of the index finger of her right hand was cut off in Linglong's palm, which stung her flesh and blood, and also stung her awake.
Linglong doesn't want to be confused anymore.
She looked at the brocade bag and said: "I once asked Your Highness whether you and my sister were childhood sweethearts, or whether it was your parents who ordered you to be a matchmaker. You told me that it was just a marriage granted by the Holy Father. You
There has never been a relationship between a man and a woman with my sister. But Your Highness, there is no relationship between a man and a woman. Why do you cherish the tips given by your sister to this day? Are you just cherishing old things? But the old things that your highness loved in the past are also stored in the cabinet.
This is the only bag you wear every day."
After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes to look at Qi Zhen, never missing any emotion in his eyes.
He could clearly see the panic in Qi Zhen's eyes.
There was a panic look in his eyes, but Linglong didn't know whether she should cry or laugh.
The panic in Qi Zhen's eyes confirmed the words of the maid in the garden. This kit was indeed a gift from his sister. Qi Zhen knew it clearly in his heart and has been wearing it to this day.
But it was the panic in his eyes that let Linglong know that the person in front of her didn't care about her at all.
At the very least, he would still be panicked because she knew about this.
If in the past, Linglong would have forgiven Qi Zhen if she only cared a little bit.
In this love that lasted for five years, she was humbled to the core. Many times she only hoped that he would look back and be satisfied.
But this time, it was different from before.
Qi Zhen shouldn't have lied to her.
Linglong hated deception the most, but Qi Zhen made her live like a fool, being played by him in the palm of his hand.
She gave him the most trust, but he lied to her.
What an irony.
Qi Zhen panicked, looking at the tears on Linglong's face, he subconsciously raised his hand to wipe away the tears for her.
But Linglong suddenly avoided him.
The girl in front of her looked delicate and frail, but her eyes were full of thorns, and the words she spoke were extremely hurtful.
"Don't touch me, I feel sick!"
Qi Zhen's movement stagnated and he was suddenly stunned.
nausea?
He sneered, raised his hand and clasped Linglong's chin, trapping her in front of him, his eyes filled with anger.
"Shen Linglong, Nanyuan, Gu has spoiled you all these years, but he has developed such an unruly temper like yours. Disgusting? Who is kneeling in front of Gu's bed, crying and begging Gu to keep you?
Who went to the Yuan Dynasty night with wine and flattery to please you, and who kept saying that he likes you?"
"Is it disgusting? You have to suffer alone!"
Qi Zhen was stung by the disgusting words, and he had no scruples about what he said, every word was stabbing Linglong's heart.
His words naturally hurt Linglong even more.
Linglong struggled hard and cursed bitterly. "Qi Zhen! Let me go!"
Qi Zhen's hand was so strong that he trapped the person in front of him. No matter how hard Linglong struggled, he couldn't break free from his shackles.
"Shen Linglong, don't be too greedy." Qi Zhen raised his hand and patted Linglong's cheek, his eyes filled with emotions, both depression and pain.
Linglong's disgusting words really pierced Qi Zhen's heart.
But when Linglong heard the words "greedy", she felt her heart was filled with sadness, and when she looked at Qi Zhen, her eyes were full of tears.
Shen Linglong was born a greedy girl.
She wants to be filled with love from the person she likes, and she wants her husband to be the only one in his eyes and heart.
Qi Zhen can't do any of these.
He wants to be exquisite and don't be too greedy.
At this time, Qi Zhen never thought that if he couldn't do it, someone else would satisfy her greed.
The delicate and timid little girl in front of me never lacks love.
Qi Zhen's words fell on Linglong's ears, and there was a sarcastic smile on Linglong's lips, but her eyes were crying.
"Qi Zhen, what is greed?" she asked Qi Zhen, and also asked herself.
Qi Zhen looked at Linglong's tears and reluctantly spoke slowly, but the words in his mouth were still hurtful.
"Linglong, let me tell you the truth. If you are born as a concubine, you should be satisfied with being a favored concubine. The crown princess in the East Palace can only be a noble girl from a noble family. A lonely wife is not a woman who cannot check and balance the harem and the court. Even if she is not
Your sister will also be someone else."
Qi Zhen told the truth in his heart, and Linglong finally knew his true thoughts.
It turned out that he had never really regarded her as his wife, and he had long been prepared to marry someone else.
He had already planned to make her his concubine.
Her exquisite eyes were full of anger and grievance, and she could not say anything. Waves of pain filled her heart, and her face was as pale as paper.
Qi Zhen noticed that her face was pale and worried that she was unwell, so he subconsciously relaxed his hand.
Linglong took the opportunity to break away from him and pushed him away violently.
She lay on the couch and coughed until tears came to her eyes, but she still told him to get out of here.
Qi Zhen had never seen Linglong look like this, and it was also the first time that she was humiliated like this.
Looking at Linglong's appearance, he knew that if the quarrel continued it would still be a dispute, so he pursed his lips and stood up.
"Shen Linglong, it was because I spoiled you in the past that I raised you to be so jealous and intolerant. From now on, you have to do it yourself." His words were cold and full of threats.
Qi Zhen thought that Ling Long was used to knowing the current affairs. After hearing this, he might be willing to lower his head and admit his mistake, and today's matter would be over.
But he didn't know that Linglong had always been a stubborn person. She used to be cute and lovable in front of him, but she just followed his wishes.
Today, it is different.
After Qi Zhen finished speaking, Linglong suddenly brushed the cups off the table next to the couch, gritted her teeth and said, "Get out!"
The sound of cups smashing also startled Luoxia and Qiu Shui, who had just rushed back to the East Palace from outside, and hurriedly entered.
"Miss, miss, what's wrong?" the two maids said in unison.
When the maid broke in, Qi Zhen couldn't help it, and he didn't want to get angry with Linglong in front of the slaves. He got angry and turned around and left with his sleeves fluttered.
Luoxia and Qiu Shui both panicked when they saw Qi Zhen leaving with anger.
"What's going on? Did the young lady and His Highness have a fight?" Luoxia asked hurriedly.
"Luoxia, Qiushui, you all should go out, I want to be alone for a while." Linglong's voice was full of exhaustion.
The maid noticed that her master looked wrong and did not dare to say anything more, so she had to retreat.
Linglong was the only one left in the inner room. She hugged her knees and leaned against the bed, burying her face in her knees as her tears became more intense.
What happened today made Linglong realize clearly that Qi Zhen might have never treated her sincerely.
Qi Zhen couldn't hear her dissatisfaction or grievance. He just wanted a Shen Linglong who would always be obedient and obedient and let him play with her in the palm of his hand.
