When the palace lantern fell to the ground, the candle flame went out, and the surroundings became dark, only a small lamp at the entrance of the gazebo was left to illuminate.

The warm touch slowly moved away from my face, Lin Chongtan's eyes were dim, and he looked at me fixedly, as if trying to distinguish the truth from what he just heard.I showed fear in my eyes and saw him staring at me, his eyelashes trembling slightly, he rolled up his sleeves, exposing his forearms, and stammered, "I...I'll bite you, don't...don't bully me me."

Lin Chongtan followed my gaze to look at the forearm, and when he found the tooth marks on it, his pupils constricted, and his expression was more ugly than ever.For a moment, he stretched out his hand to touch the tooth marks on my forearm, but as soon as he touched it, I took a breath, his fingers tightened, and his lips pursed.

"Who bit it?" His voice was extremely low.

I pretended to be drunk and couldn't understand what he said.

At this time, footsteps were heard not far away.

There is also the voice of the prince, "Where is the man?"

Lin Chongtan heard the sound, but did not move, his eyes were still fixed on the teeth marks on my arm. I saw that he was still not moving, and when he was suspecting that he had guessed wrong in this step, Lin Chongtan turned me coldly. Putting down the sleeves, he straddled his long legs and walked away from the other side of the gazebo.

Almost as soon as he left, Niu Xi led the prince into the pavilion.

The prince saw me sitting crookedly by the gazebo pillar, and then looked at the palace lantern and fan that fell on the ground, his eyes rolled slightly, "Brother, is this drunk?"

I looked at him with empty eyes, and after a few glances, I held out my hand to him.The prince didn't move, and when my fingertips almost touched his sleeve, he stepped back slightly, "Niu Xi, your master really drank too much, take him back."

Niu Xi on the side stepped forward, "Ninth Prince, you are drunk, and this slave will take you back."

He bent his knees and squatted in front of me, and I climbed onto Niu Xi's back with limp hands and feet, and then, as if I was extremely tired, I hid most of my face in my large sleeves, only showing my eyebrows and eyes.

Before leaving, I opened my eyes and took a look at the prince.

Not long after Niu Xi carried me out of the gazebo, footsteps came from behind.The sound of footsteps followed me back to Huayang Palace. At this time, the banquet was still in progress, and Concubine Zhuang Gui hadn't come back yet.

When the people from Huayang Palace saw the prince, they saluted one after another. The prince lazily told them to calm down, and then emptied all the people in my palace, even Niu Xi was sent out by him.

Only me and him were left in the hall.

The prince walked over to the beauty's couch where I was lying. Although I drank the anti-alcohol medicine, I always smell alcohol on my face, and this body is also the same. At this time, my face is hot and lingering, which is convenient for me to pretend to be drunk.

"You asked Niu Xi to call Gu Lai to say something important. Now there are only two of us, so you can talk about it." The prince lightly shook the folding fan in front of him.

I reached out to him again, and this time he was willing to let me grab his sleeve, but he didn't expect that after I grabbed it, he turned his head and took a bite.

I bit hard, probably enough to leave a bloody mark on the Prince's arm.

After learning about the eldest princess from the twelve princesses, I asked Concubine Zhuang if she knew about the eldest princess's marriage to Mongolia.

Concubine Zhuang is not familiar with the eldest princess, so she doesn't know many things.She told me that the eldest princess has a gentle temperament and treats almost everyone with courtesy, no matter if it is her father's concubine or a palace servant.

I don't think I have anything to do with the atmosphere.

Thinking about it, maybe the gift the crown prince gave me was not wrong, and I must take revenge.Tonight, I not only bit the crown prince, but also put an aphrodisiac in the lotus soup Lin Chongtan ate.

The potency of the medicine is not high, it is usually used to cheer up, and it is not enough to make people unconscious and confused.

For a moment, I wanted to poison Lin Chongtan, but it was too obvious to kill a person by poisoning, and I didn't want Lin Chongtan to die easily without ruining his reputation.

The prince quickly withdrew his hand, glared at me, and called my name directly, "Jiang Congxi!"

I slowly wiped my lips with my fingers, "It's right... who, who told you... to use me as bait!"

Hearing my words, the prince frowned first, and then looked at me with disgust.

"How old is the old almanac, do you still remember? Your name is Gulai, just for this matter?"

I sat up and said angrily, "You're not me, of course you... don't understand my feelings! That... Chatai wants to tie me to the Northland..."

The prince said: "Didn't you fail to tie him up? Besides, Chatai is not good at masculinity."

"What if it succeeds, he treats me like, like a woman, and puts me in women's clothes... He wants to make a marriage with us, too." I looked up at him, trembling all over, "I am Bei The prince of the dynasty is the son of the emperor, not a cat or a dog. Those foreign countries should all be on the shore of the land, so they are not worthy of marrying with our Bei dynasty."

The prince looked down at me, the light from the candle was trapped in his eyes, and the disgust on his face gradually faded.He bent down, as if looking at me seriously for the first time.

"Well said." He said word for word.

After the prince left, I took off my bun, walked barefoot to the bronze mirror, picked up the towel that the palace servant had put down in the water basin, wiped my face and lips little by little, until my skin hurt, and then suddenly threw the towel into the water in the basin.

The current trials are far from enough. The twelve princesses said that the crown prince carried the little portrait of the eldest princess with him, and the only thing that could hold the little portrait was the purse around his waist that was rarely changed.

Of course, even if the prince has unspeakable feelings for the eldest princess, the similarity between my eyebrows and the eldest princess' eyes is not enough for the prince to abandon Lin Chongtan.Lin Chongtan was reused by the prince, provided that Lin Chongtan was loyal.

Even if an unfaithful dog can bark and hunt again, the owner will only wonder whether the dog will bite his hand one day.

The next day, I went to the largest restaurant in the capital, wearing a veiled hat to watch the crowds of tourists below.After a while, the door of the box was pushed open.Song Nan didn't wear a knife on his waist today, and he didn't wear an official uniform. He walked up to me and knelt down on one knee, "Master."

"Niu Xi, close the window and take the others out first." I said.

After Niu Xi went out, Song Nan said in a low voice: "My subordinates have found out about Duan Chengyun, the eldest son of the Duan family. He has no special hobbies. He gets up every morning to go to court, and goes back to court every day. In a few days, I will go to Yinghelou to listen to operas, and my favorite is "Wangmu Terrace."

""Wangmu Terrace"?" I murmured softly.

"Wangmu Terrace" tells the story of Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, and his biological mother during the Western Han Dynasty. Therefore, the Wangmu Terrace was built in Changsha to express his condolences.

I was thinking about things, Song Nan suddenly asked me.

"Master, is the injury on your arm better?"

I was stunned for a moment before realizing that what he said was the tooth marks on my forearm, "It's nothing serious."

Song Nan raised his eyes slightly, and took out a box of ointment from his arms, "This is the medicine that my subordinates used to rub when they were injured. Master can apply this on the wound."

"A few teeth marks, what kind of medicine do I need to apply?" I didn't take this matter to heart, but Song Nan was a little excited, "If you don't deal with it properly, I'm afraid there will be scars."

Seeing me looking at him in surprise, he slowed down his voice again, "This subordinate has no other intentions. This subordinate bit the master and did something offensive, so I want to make up for it."

"I asked you to bite me, so why offend me." I thought for a while, and took the ointment from his hand, "Okay, I'll just wipe it off, I hope you can help me take care of the Duan family's affairs, and, I want to meet Duan Chengyun."

After seeing Song Nan, I got into the carriage and went to Taixue.As soon as I arrived at Taixue, I heard someone discussing this year's imperial examination.

There are many people who will take the imperial examination this year, and Lin Chongtan is among them.Since Lin Chongtan entered Taixue, he has been firmly in the first place in Taixue. All Taixue students are looking forward to Lin Chongtan's performance in this year's imperial examination.In addition to Taixue students, many aristocrats in the capital are also waiting.

If Lin Chongtan is the number one scholar in high school, he is the real world leader.

When I arrived in the classroom, I saw Lin Chongtan sitting at the desk by the window. He was holding a pen, but no paper was left. I don't know what he was thinking.I sat down in my seat and couldn't help yawning in class because I didn't sleep well last night.Although the doctor in the upper house was strict, he was not strict. When he saw me yawning, he just tactfully knocked on my desk as a reminder.

During the break, I simply skipped class and hid in the Tingyu Pavilion of Taixue to catch up on sleep.It was a coincidence, not long after I hid in Tingyu Pavilion, the summer rain suddenly came.I nestled on the couch on the third floor of Tingyu Pavilion, and the raindrops drifted into the window, soaking the hem of my clothes.

Under the sound of rain, there are footsteps walking up the stairs.

The footsteps first moved to the window, and then stopped near me.

Without opening my eyes, I let the man roll up my sleeves and apply medicine to me.When the man was about to leave, I suddenly sat up.

"Lin Chongtan, stop."

Lin Chongtan turned his back to me, still holding the ointment in his hand that will not be put away in the future.

I stared at him, clutching my arm with teeth marks tightly, "How do you know that my arm...is injured? You...do you know something?"

Lin Chongtan was silent for a moment, and looked sideways at me.I don't know if it's my illusion or what, but his expression seems to be tired, as if he hasn't slept all night, but his eyes are extraordinarily clear.

I looked at Shanglin Chongtan, I was able to get along with him peacefully yesterday through Jiujin, but today I thought of Liangji's death again.

Murderer.

In order not to let him see the hatred in my heart, I could only close my eyes, but my body couldn't help trembling slightly, "You go."

But when I said this, he paced to my side and pulled away my hand that was holding my arm with his fingers, "Your hand is hurt, don't hold it like this."

I still closed my eyes, "I don't want you to care."

Lin Chongtan's tone became softer, "Little..." He seemed to be about to call me Xiaodi, but he stopped after saying a word, and changed his words, "The Ninth Prince remembers to let the palace servants beside him put his arm on his arm every day. Apply medicine to the wound, don't get wet, I put the ointment here."

I heard that he was going to leave, so I couldn't help opening my eyes.His eyes met mine, the rain was pattering outside, and the previously bright sky became dark due to the dense clouds and the closed windows.

I bit my lower lip, tears streaming down my face. When he saw me crying, his expression changed, and then he took out a handkerchief to wipe my tears, "Why are you crying? It hurts?"

I gritted my teeth and said nothing. When he hugged me, I suddenly bit his shoulders. I let go of my teeth after I tasted the smell of blood. I whimpered and said, "I don't want to stay in the palace. I really can't stay any longer. You Take me away, okay? Let's go far away, to the outside of the Great Wall."
