Master of Rebirth

"How is she?" Zhao Jing felt his heart sink suddenly, and quickly stood up and asked.

Xiuwen didn't want to pay attention to the matter of Lianyi, but he knew that if Lianyi died like this, Zhao Jing would definitely not let it go, and he didn't know what troubles would happen by then, so he could only honestly explain: "Fortunately, he was discovered in time and has been rescued. Yes. But it is said that she has tried to seek death more than once, if there is one more time, I am afraid she will not be so lucky."

"I have to go see her in the prison." Zhao Jing said.

Jinli immediately said: "How can this be done? The identity of the young duke cannot be revealed, and you must not show up at will. Besides, how can the young duke go to such a filthy place as death row?"

"What Jinli said is true." Xiuwen also persuaded: "Lianyi has no relatives and no reason in Pingyao County. No matter what identity the young master uses to see her, it will arouse suspicion."

Zhao Jing has made up his mind, so he will not give up halfway. He thought for a while and said, "Then we will sneak in quietly after dark."

Knowing what Zhao Jing had decided, ten horses would not be able to pull back, so Xiuwen had no choice but to go down and make arrangements.

It was night, Zhao Jing asked Yanwu to stay, took Xiuwen and Jinli with him, and sneaked into the death cell during the night.

Because there is only one prisoner in the death row, Lianyi, and she is a woman, so the guards are not strict.It was already past Haishi, and the guard had already fallen asleep after drinking.Just in case, Xiuwen gave them some drug, and then took the key from them.

The cell was dark and gloomy, and most of the cells were empty, making it even more eerie.

Xiuwen led the way with a lamp, and soon found the cell where Lianyi was held.Xiuwen opened the cell door, Zhao Jing connected the light, and walked in first.

Lianyi attempted to hang herself. Although she was rescued in time, her body was still weak.Coupled with the fact that he had been locked up for many days, it was very cold, and there was a lack of food and clothing in the prison. Naturally, the situation was not very optimistic. At this time, he still had a fever and was unconscious.

Zhao Jing had seen Lianyi a few years ago, but she had long forgotten what she looked like.That day in the courtroom, they just met each other in a hurry, and couldn't see their faces clearly.Looking at this haggard and weak woman now, Zhao Jing only felt mixed feelings.

In fact, Zhao Jing didn't have much impression of Lianyi, including the life-saving grace she said, Zhao Jing couldn't remember clearly either.The reason why he still remembered this woman was because she was a relative of Liu Yun.But it was such an inconspicuous woman who actually did such an earth-shattering thing and made a huge sacrifice for a kindness he couldn't remember at all.Zhao Jing was shocked, but felt that he owed Liu Yun even more.

Zhao Jing just stood there quietly without speaking.It's Ripple, who doesn't know if she's awake or hysterical.She opened her eyes, saw the people around her, and started to cry.

"Mr. Zhao..." Lianyi babbled with dry lips, "Is my family dead? Finally saw you again?"

These words made Zhao Jing's heart ache.

Lianyi tremblingly tried to prop up her body, but failed.She had no choice but to reach out her hand to Zhao Jing, as if she wanted to make sure whether there was a person.

Looking at those pale hands, Zhao Jing hesitated for a moment, but still held them.

"Mr. Zhao..." Feeling the temperature on the palm, Lianyi cried even harder, "Don't blame me, I don't want to ruin Linglongzhai and your grandma's hard work. But after hearing the news that you have died The slave family is really sad. I wish I could kill Wang Qi immediately to be buried with you. It's a pity that the slave family is incompetent. I can't help Wang Qi, so I can only make such a bad plan. The slave family knows that you are an upright and kind person, so you absolutely can't understand this kind of low-handed means. , but I really have no choice... I would rather destroy Linglongzhai than let a villain like Wang Qi continue to defile your things."

Lianyi was crying so hard, Zhao Jing felt more and more unhappy, so she could only sit beside her bed and stammered comfortingly: "I, I didn't mean to blame you, and you don't have to think about it."

After hearing this, Lianyi opened her tear-smeared eyes, and looked at Zhao Jing quietly, her gaze was full of affection, although it was still as silent as a pool of stagnant water, at least there was a wave of waves.

Zhao Jing didn't have the habit of looking at women, so he turned his head in embarrassment and wanted to stand up.However, Lianyi's hand was still tightly grasped, as if it was a life-saving straw.Zhao Jing couldn't move, so he had to sit back uncomfortably.

"Being able to see you after death, my family will be satisfied even if I go to the eighteenth floor of hell." Lianyi continued to murmur.She closed her eyes with great satisfaction, but she couldn't tell whether she was awake or dreaming.

Knowing that it is useless to talk to a delirious person, Zhao Jing looked back at Xiuwen and said, "Didn't you say that the prison has already been dealt with? Why is it still like this?"

"Lianyi has no relatives and no reason, and has committed such a serious crime. Everyone avoids it. The subordinate sent someone to give the money, but did not leave a name. It must be that the guards in the prison saw that Lianyi had no support, so they slacked off. Let's go." Xiuwen said.

In today's world, the poor are afraid of the rich, the rich are afraid of the powerful, and the begging are afraid of doing things.The people sent by Xiuwen couldn't reveal their identities, let alone their relationship with Lianyi. In the eyes of the guards, they were just covering up.They are naturally happy to only accept money and do nothing.

Seeing that Lianyi is sick like this, it won't be long if he doesn't invite a doctor.Zhao Jing said to Xiuwen: "Tomorrow, you can send someone to take care of it again, in the name of Wang Qi."

"Ah? I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Xiuwen said.

Zhao Jing said: "What's inappropriate? People in the prison can still go to the Zhuyuan to ask Wang Qi if he can do it? Besides, I use his name to do good deeds for him. What else is he dissatisfied with?"

After hearing this, Xiuwen shut up wisely.

Afraid that Lianyi would continue to seek death, Zhao Jing wanted to leave something behind, so that she could wake up and see it the next morning, knowing that what happened tonight was true, so as not to commit suicide again.Zhao Jing thought about it, the jade pendant was too expensive, and Lian Yi was alone in the cell, fearing that it would cause trouble.There are only things like handkerchiefs and sweat towels, which are easy to see and inconspicuous when placed on the body.

It's a pity that this time he came out in a hurry, and Zhao Jing didn't have the habit of carrying a handkerchief with him.He couldn't find it on his body, so Zhao Jing had to turn his head to Xiuwen and Jinli and said, "Are you wearing handkerchiefs or something like that?"

The two of them didn't know what he was going to do, and subconsciously looked for him.

Jinli was the first to take out the handkerchief that he was carrying with him, glanced at it, and then wanted to put it back.It's a pity that Zhao Jing grabbed it quickly and stuffed it into Lianyi's hand, and pulled his hand out by the way.

"Hey..." Jin Li turned pale with shock, and hurriedly said, "Young Master, this handkerchief is not good, this is..." Miss Yingying gave it to me.The latter words were swallowed abruptly by Jinli.

Thinking that he felt sorry for the handkerchief, Zhao Jing said indifferently: "I have several more in my place, and the quality is better than this one. You can choose whatever you want when you go back."

"This..." Jin Li stared at the handkerchief with eyes fixed on it, and his mouth was expecting, neither nodding in agreement nor shaking his head in rejection.

Only then did Zhao Jing realize something, and asked, "Why, does this handkerchief have any special meaning?"

After hearing this, Jin Li blushed instantly, but unfortunately the prison was too dark to see.

"Young Master doesn't know, this handkerchief was given by Ms. Zhen." Xiuwen understood the situation and said with a smile: "Didn't we save her back then? To express our gratitude, Ms. Zhen gave each of us a piece." The little lord also has handkerchiefs. It’s just that the ones given to us are plain handkerchiefs, and the one given to you is embroidered.”

Although she already knew that Zhen Yingying's sweetheart was Zhao Jing, after hearing this, Jin Li's heart still felt as if it had been pricked by many fine needles.

Seeing that Jinli cared so much about the handkerchief that Zhen Yingying gave her, Zhao Jing was not stupid, and naturally saw something, and couldn't help but ask, "Jinli, don't you like Miss Zhen?"

"No, no." Jin Li knew that he was just a hopeless crush, and he didn't want Zhen Yingying to be embarrassed by the publicity of this matter, so he quickly denied it: "This subordinate just thinks it's not good to forward things that others give away."

Knowing that it was impossible for Zhen Yingying to fall in love with Jinli, and she would be less hurt if she turned around earlier, Xiuwen said: "What's the matter! Miss Zhen only gave the handkerchief to the young master with her own hands, and left the rest there for us Pick it up by yourself, but many brothers didn't take it. In fact, everyone knows that the person she really wanted to give the handkerchief to is the young master, and she just gave it to us as a cover. Miss Zhen may not even know whether you have gone to get the handkerchief. Clearly, she won't bother with you."

Although Xiuwen's words are not pleasant, they are true.Jinli felt as if he had been punched, and was speechless for a long time.

At this point, Zhao Jing naturally saw that Jinli was interested in Zhen Yingying, so he could only look at Xiuwen reproachfully, and then said to Jinli: "Don't listen to Xiuwen's nonsense, since it's Miss Zhen's intention, you still put it Take the handkerchief back, and I'll find something else to replace it."

Stopping Zhao Jing's hand from taking the handkerchief, Jinli shook his head and said, "Young Master, there's no need. Brother Xiuwen said yes, but it's just an insignificant handkerchief. Ms. Zhen might not even remember it. Stay in Lianyi Here, girl, maybe I can save my life."

After Jinli finished speaking, he went out lonely. Zhao Jing looked at Xiuwen dissatisfied and said: "There are so many people in the army who like Zhen Yingying, why do you want to attack Jinli?"

"Sometimes, the sooner you recognize the reality, the sooner you will be free, otherwise it will be bad for everyone." Xiuwen spread his hands and went out.

He knew that even if he returned the handkerchief now, Jinli would definitely not accept it.Besides, there was really nothing suitable for Ripple right now.Zhao Jing thought, Lianyi should not be someone who throws things casually, so she can only wait until she is rescued, and then find a chance to return the handkerchief to Jinli.

After looking at the handkerchief again, Zhao Jing left the cell.

After returning to Zhu's mansion, Yan Wu greeted him immediately, and said with a smile, "Young Lord, not long after you left, the prince came."

"What is he doing here?" Zhao Jing asked impatiently with a cold face.

Although she has been busy with Lianyi's affairs these days and has no time to think about Wang Qi, Zhao Jing doesn't think there is anything wrong.But knowing from Yan Wu's mouth that Wang Qi came to find him on his own initiative, Zhao Jing's heart still moved, and his whole body also jumped for joy.

"Where is he?" Zhao Jing asked coldly, suppressing the joy in his heart.

Yan Wu said: "He has already gone back."

Zhao Jing only felt that cold water had been poured on his fiery heart just now, and the joy he had finally produced turned into disappointment, so he looked at Yan Wu grimly and said, "Since you have already gone back, why are you reporting me so stupidly?" ?”

"Since Prince Wang is here, and he has indicated that he is looking for you, his subordinates must inform him." Yan Wu said honestly.

Zhao Jing only felt that he couldn't breathe, and was almost pissed off, but he wanted to beat Yan Wu to death first.

Fortunately, before Zhao Jing could make a move, Yan Wu said with a shy smile, "But Mr. Wang said, he will come again tomorrow."

After hearing this, Zhao Jing felt a little better, and he said to Yan Wu in a vicious voice: "Go down and rest, I will get angry when I see you."

Yan Wu left with a smile.

On the second day, Zhao Jing couldn't wait to get up, thinking that he had been busy for several days and didn't have time to take care of himself, so he took the bronze mirror and admired himself in the mirror. People look decadent.Zhao Jing immediately wanted to find something to shave off the stubble, but he couldn't find something suitable, so he had to take out his dagger and shave his face clean.

She combed herself a more energetic hairstyle, and then changed several clothes. Finally satisfied, Zhao Jing pretended to be calm and went downstairs.

Although I don't know what Wang Qi's idea is, maybe I still came to see my own joke.But Zhao Jing is still full of expectations.Besides, since Wang Qi came here on her own initiative, it was tantamount to asking for peace.Zhao Jing thought in his heart, when Wang Qi came, he had to hold back, and he couldn't forgive him so quickly.

After eating breakfast, Zhao Jing sat down in the hall closest to the gate, and subconsciously paid attention to the movements at the porter's side.

He frequently raised his head to watch the door, which made the waiter very strange. He couldn't help asking, "Little Lord, what's the matter with you? Is there something on the other side of the door?"

"Cough, it's nothing." Zhao Jing coughed dryly, continued to read the book that had hardly been turned, and changed the subject, "Where's Yanwu?"

"Brother Yanwu went out early in the morning, brother Xiuwen and brother Jinli also went out, saying that they have something to investigate." The boy said honestly.

Zhao Jing couldn't help cursing secretly, "This Yanwu usually steals, rapes and plays tricks, why is he so active now? When Wang Qi comes, there is no one who knows Wang Qi outside to support him, so how can he pretend not to be stretched?" Wang Qi."

It's a pity that Zhao Jing was too worried, and he didn't see Wang Qi even after lunch.Zhao Jing also became more and more restless.

"Why hasn't Wang Qi come yet? Is something wrong? Then should I go to him?" With this thought, Zhao Jing quickly shook his head, "No, if Wang Qi took the initiative to go there, Wang Qi will definitely be proud of her favor, and even more so in the future." Lawless. Besides, now that the case has been closed and the people from Zhuyuan have been released, what else can happen to him?"

"Then why hasn't he come yet? Could it be that Yanwu remembered it wrong? What Wang Qi said was not coming today, but tomorrow? This is also impossible. Yanwu can memorize even the enemy's secrets. It’s just a short time, he can’t remember it wrong.” Zhao Jing frowned and walked back and forth in the room several times, then turned around suddenly, thinking: “Then why hasn’t Wang Qi come yet?”

At this time, a young servant outside reported, "Young Master, the prince is asking to see you."

Zhao Jing regained his energy immediately, but still confirmed, "Which Prince?"

"It's Prince Wang Qi." The boy smiled and said, "We are in Pingyao County, and we don't have any other acquaintances."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Zhao Jing said, "Just say I'm not here."

The little servant was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, little one, I'm going back to Prince Wang."

"Come back." Hastily called to stop the servant, Zhao Jing ordered very seriously: "You have to invite him in very coldly, and then keep him."

After Zhao Jing gave this unimaginable order, he left, leaving only the servant who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility but looked bewildered.

The author has something to say:

Boy: What does it mean to invite him in coldly and then keep him? ? ? ?

Zhao Jing: Experience it yourself! !

Xiuwen: The focus is on the second half of the sentence, keep people in! ! ! !
