Lu Ningshuang frowned, raised her arm, and slowly wiped the back of her hand on Baili Lin's white bandage.

He didn't say a word, but his disdain was real.

Baili Lin refused to let her have her way. He grabbed her two soft and boneless little hands together, bent down and kissed them exaggeratedly again and again.

Until Lu Ningshuang calmly opened her lips:

"If you like it, I'll cut it off and give it to you."

Baili Lin then restrained himself and dared not act recklessly again, for he was afraid that she would really hurt him in her anger.

He could see the madness in the Second Young Lady's heart when he was in the Princess's Mansion.

Just then, the soup pot on the table and the stone slab on the stove were hot. Baili Lin took the initiative to serve Lu Ningshuang a bowl of soup, then put a palm-sized piece of pork belly on the stone slab and started to roast it.

"Miss, drink some soup to warm yourself up first, and then grill the meat for a while."

Seeing that Lu Ningshuang didn't move, he shamelessly moved closer.

"Does Second Miss feel that it is very simple? It cannot compare to the delicacies from the mountains and seas in the Zhenguo Mansion, right?"

Lu Ningshuang was still feeling uncomfortable and had no appetite, but that did not stop her from using her heart-piercing technique.

"As long as you know."

With her hands folded on her knees, she glanced at the man and said:

"I can eat the best of both worlds, but I will never force myself for others."

"Okay, okay, I know the Second Miss is a bit spoiled, but today's situation is special, so there's nothing we can do about it, right?

My dear second lady, please bear with me for now. Even if you say you want to eat dragon meat, I will get it for you tomorrow even if it costs me my life!"

Baili Lin's eyes were full of smiles and he was unexpectedly good-tempered.

Lu Ningshuang seemed to see the shadow of Lu Jin in him, and was happy to cooperate, eating a few bites of the meal.

Although Lu Jin was ambitious and took advantage of her, he really understood her.

In fact, his ambition to submit to power is his greatest sexiness.

Love is the most insignificant thing.

Lu Yan was too obedient and rigid, dull and boring, and he didn't even dare to express his inner thoughts. He was as cowardly as a rat in the gutter;

Jiang Shuo is arrogant but immature, very young, and gets shy when coaxed;

Jing Shiyue is honest and serious. He pays attention to the balance between tension and relaxation in everything he does. He is suitable for long-term companionship, not for seeking excitement.

Apart from her incredibly beautiful face, broken legs, and crazy attributes, Fu Nanjia really has no other appeal.

As for the four guards named Qing sent by my second uncle, they looked good but not ordinary. Their personalities were all the same, not much different from the guards in the mansion.

It's just a house sparrow, nothing much to say.

Lu Ningshuang set her sights on Baili Lin, a brave and fearless guy, who was quite interesting.

After dinner was served, Baili Linfei took Lu Ningshuang to the patio to watch the stars.

The courtyard is very small, with two floors and a square patio in the center.

Looking up, the vast sky was cut into just that small piece.

A small pond was built with bluestone on the open space of no more than six square meters, with water lilies and a few black and white koi fish.

Green duckweed grew on the water surface, and the nearby ground was covered with blue-black moss.

Baili Lin sat on a low stool with his two long legs stretched out over the eaves and rested on the open space.

Lu Ningshuang was held in his arms and sat on his lap.

There are only a few scattered stars in the gloomy night sky, it is better to watch the snowflakes slowly floating down.

It was the first time in Lu Ningshuang's life that she stayed in such a simple environment. The stale smell around her made her feel uncomfortable all over, as if there were countless insects hiding in invisible corners.

"Don't move. I'm not a gentleman who can remain calm when I'm in your arms."

Baili Lin turned around and teased, with a thick smile on his lips and a wild beast sealed in his eyes.

Lu Ningshuang ignored his threats and reluctantly moved to a comfortable position. She leaned directly on his chest without caring about his injuries, completely treating him as a chair.

"What is your relationship with the Prince of Qiang?"

Lu Ningshuang asked the sensitive question in a familiar tone.

In the novel, the Prince of Qiang State had no name from beginning to end. He died before Lu Yingxue and Xiao Churan ascended to the supreme throne and sent troops to Qiang State.

However, Baili is the surname of the emperor, and today is the day when the Qiang delegation comes to Beijing, so Baili Lin’s identity is about to be revealed.

Baili Lin stared at Lu Ningshuang, his eyes appeared green in the dim light.

After a moment, he laughed:

"Why, the Second Miss wants to be the Crown Princess?"

He turned his head and looked at the broken snow falling from the patio, saying with regret:

"That may disappoint the Second Miss. Baili Lin is only the shadow of the Prince of Qiang, a mere hidden guard. He cannot give the Second Miss what she wants."

"That's it..."

Lu Ningshuang responded with a calm expression, without any change.

"but--"

Baili Lin suddenly put Lu Ningshuang into his arms with a playful smile, lowered his head and stared at her with shining eyes.

"If the Second Miss likes that position, I can usurp the throne and kill the Crown Prince. Anyway, the Crown Prince always beats and scolds me, and I have wanted to kill him for a long time!

It just so happens that I look 70% like the prince, and I have learned his words and deeds since I was a child, so it is not a problem to replace the original with the fake!"

Lu Ningshuang curled her lips and sneered:

"You are such a traitor and a sellout."

"Why not ask for a beauty like the Second Miss?"

Baili Lin kissed the girl's ear and smiled in an indecent way.

"Second Miss, since I love you so deeply, how about I call you Ning'er and you call me A-Lin?

One is Ning, the other is Lin, we are indeed destined to be together."

Lu Ningshuang didn't reply to him, and her hair suddenly stood on end.

She inadvertently discovered that something was approaching in the darkness around her, emitting a fishy and corrupt smell.

The moment the thing approached, Baili Lin's expression suddenly became fierce.

Lu Ningshuang didn’t understand what he did, and the “darkness” receded like the tide.

After a while, A Wu, who had disappeared after cleaning up the dishes, walked up with a serious face, nodded to Baili Lin, then turned and walked out.

Baili Lin smiled again and walked into the house holding Lu Ningshuang.

"I told you before that if we can survive, I will give you a big gift. Ning'er, come with me to see your gift."

Baili Lin took out a jade box carved with hundreds of insects that exuded a chill from a hidden corner.

After opening it, a thumb-sized, exquisite and translucent cicada, like a crystal sculpture, quietly appeared in the field of vision.

"Ning'er shouldn't be afraid of such a beautiful thing, right?"

Lu Ningshuang asked curiously:

"What is this?"

Baili Lin took her hand, pinched her middle finger, and asked seriously and gently:

"Ning'er, can I take a drop of your blood?"

Lu Ningshuang nodded, and he pulled out a small knife from his waist. He gently touched the tip of the knife on the white fingertips, and a drop of bright red blood immediately came out.

After squeezing out a drop of blood, he immediately put his finger in his mouth and sucked it.

I saw drops of blood dripping onto the cicada and being absorbed in a flash.

Agate patterns appear inside the crystal, like a heart, trembling rhythmically.

The next moment, the cicada came back to life from its rigid state, spread its wings and flew onto the back of Lu Ningshuang's hand.
