C18 (1/2)

After a few days, the steward began to talk back and forth. General Qin had spent a great deal of effort to finally get Madam Qin out of jail.

Of course, the steward would never tell Lin Zhijun how dark General Qin's face was, how poor his attitude towards Madam Qin, and how unpleasant his words were.

After all, he was a loyal servant, and a loyal servant wouldn't let his master be in a bad mood.

Later on, he heard that after General Qin had returned, he had beaten up Madam Qin.

Geez, General Qin was a martial artist, so he prayed that he didn't hit too hard.

The housekeeper silently lit a candle for Madam Qin.

Although the steward had never wanted to make his wife in a bad mood, Lin Zhijun was in a really bad mood.

The current Lin Zhaojun was at a loss. Although he had made up his mind to live a better life than his previous life, he still couldn't find a direction to live.

Lin Zhijun was stunned for a long time. By the side, Zi Yan could no longer hold himself back. Zi Yan greedily looked at the crystal prawns on the table. Hong Xing's cooking skills were getting better and better. She really wanted to eat them!

”Princess, don't just stand there. No matter how much you stare, it won't change the fact that you're about to die.”

Zi Yan, can you not be so direct?

Zi Yan couldn't hear Lin Zhaojun's retort. She then heard him say, ”Princess, if you don't come soon, I'll help you eliminate the delicious food.”

Lin Zhijun, ”…”

In Lin Zhaojun's eyes, the purple smoke was a wondrous existence.

Lin Zhijun said, ”Ziyan, if I die, will you remember me?” For some reason, Lin Zhaojun was injured today. Maybe she just wanted someone to remember her.

Zi Yan turned around and seriously looked at Lin Zhaojun. ”Princess, I can't remember you.”

Lin Zhijun, ”…”

It was sad to answer so plainly.

Zi Yan continued, ”My mother told me to cross the Bridge of Helplessness, drink Grandma Meng's Elixir, and reincarnate after death. By then, we will have a new life. ” Zi Yan was very calm.

Lin Zhaojun looked at Zi Yan in astonishment. Since when did this little girl speak in such a manner?

Zi Yan took advantage of Lin Zhaojun's stupefaction to toss a piece of crystal shrimp into her mouth. She smacked her lips and said, ”Princess, you don't have to be afraid with Zi Yan accompanying you.”

It was only then that Lin Zhaojun remembered that according to the rules of the Heng Huai Empire, after she died, her maidservants would also be buried with her. She couldn't live, and neither could Zi Yan.

”Zi Yan, do you want to die?”

The crystal shrimp in Zi Yan's hand fell onto the table. She laughed out loud, ”Princess, your brain must have been crushed by the door today. How could I want to die when I'm alive and well? But when I was destined to die, there was nothing I could do. ”

There was nothing he could do, nothing he could do.

No matter how bold she was, and how lawless she was in front of Lin Zhaojun, it wouldn't change the fact that she was going to die with him.

”Zi Yan, I won't let you die with me.”

Zi Yan's expression was dejected. ”Esteemed wangfei, you know that's impossible. Back then the late Emperor said with his golden lips that the two of us would die with the Second Prince. ”

Zi Yan was Lin Zhaojun's maid and was also the second prince's concubine in name. Thus, she was unable to escape that fate.

”No, I definitely won't let you die.”

”Why?” Zi Yan's eyes widened. ”Princess, it can't be that you've fallen for me, right?”

Lin Zhijun faintly smiled, ”Because I think of you as my younger sister.”

He probably treated her as his own sister, which was why he kept spoiling her.

He had taken over that person's body. At the very least, he had to do something for her.

Zi Yan blinked her starry eyes and looked at Lin Zhaojun in a very moved manner. ”Princess, if you don't want me to be buried alive, you have to stay alive and well.”

Lin Zhijun nodded. She, who had always been indifferent to life and death, suddenly had a strong obsession with life.
