Rebirth: Traveling To Ancient Times As A Companion Reading Chapter 31

Threat

Joey was lying on the bed watching Lou Ling come in.

Lou Ling walked to the edge of the bed, looked at Joey condescendingly, and said, “You are really lucky.”

“Of course!”

Although he was still in bed, with the idea of losing nothing in front of Lou Ling, Joey put his hands behind his head and crossed his legs, still arrogant and unwilling to let Lou Ling take advantage of him at all.

Lou Ling looked at Joey, seemingly speechless, “You’re quite proud.”

Joey: “Why can’t I be proud? I came back from a trip to the Gate of Hell. Gate of Hell, that’s the Gate of Hell! Do you understand the value of this word?!”

“…”

When Lou Ling didn’t say anything, Joey, who thought he was one step ahead of Lou Ling, was filled with pride. His legs hidden under the quilt kept shaking, “Young man, fight me?”

Lou Ling rubbed her brows helplessly, “Compared to your life, your heart obviously looks bigger.”

Joey: “What happened to me?”

Lou Ling: “You gambled with your life, didn’t you think about the worst outcome?”

Joey was stunned: “Did you know? Did Fang Qingzhou tell you?”

Lou Ling sat casually aside, resting one hand on the table, squinting at Joey, and asked, “What do you think?”

“Tch! Why are you pretending to be mysterious!” Joey didn’t want to be fooled. He turned his head and turned the back of his head towards Lou Ling, “If you like to talk, don’t tell!”

Lou Ling looked at the back of Joey’s head and was not angry. He said calmly and unhurriedly: “Don’t you want to know what happened to Zhang Wujing?”

Joey paused, then slowly turned his head like a puppet, stared at Lou Ling, and asked quietly: “Is he dead?”

Lou Ling: “Not dead.”

Joey: “Then what do you tell me…”

Lou Ling: “But it’s almost the same.”

Joey: “What do you mean?”

Lou Ling stopped talking.

Joey was anxious, “Stop being so pretentious and tell me now!”

At this time, no one is more concerned about Zhang Wujing’s fate than Joey. After all, he made himself so miserable and made two unconditional promises, not just for a joke.

Lou Ling still kept silent and just made a slow three-hand sign to Joey.

Joey understood instantly. He couldn’t believe it and shouted: “Lou Ling! Are you crazy?”

Lou Ling: “You can also choose not to agree. It’s just that there were only a few people in the imperial study room yesterday. After all, what I heard from others is not as clear as the person involved, right?”

Joey gritted his teeth and said, “You really seize an opportunity and prick it as hard as you can!”

Lou Lingfeng raised her eyes slightly, put one hand on the table, slipped her sleeves, revealing her jade-white wrists, and said helplessly: “There is no way, why do I have a low status, I am just a prince, and I can’t deal with my companion if he disobeys me. There is no other way, so this is the only way.”

Gan!

But Joey didn’t intend to compromise so easily. His eyes rolled and he suddenly said, “Okay.”

Anyway, it was just an agreement between the two of them in private, and it was up to him to decide what happened in the end. Even if he ended up cheating, so what, Lou Ling could do anything to him.

Lou Ling looked at the little thoughts on Joey’s face and smiled.

When Joey heard laughter, he was about to ask Lou Ling why he was laughing.

The next moment, Lou Ling took out a piece of paper from somewhere and put it on the table.

Joey looked at the piece of paper on the table and realized something. The smile on his lips froze. He tentatively asked, “What is that?”

Lou Ling tilted her head, “Since you agreed, then write it clearly in black and white.”

Joey: “…Isn’t it necessary?”

Lou Ling: “Why is it unnecessary? If you fall out in the future and don’t admit what you said, then wouldn’t all my efforts be in vain?”

“…”

Joey looked at Lou Ling seriously, “Do you think I will be such a person?”

Lou Ling: “Aren’t you?”

“…………”

Joey simply broke the jar and lay down, “My stomach hurts, I can’t sit up, and I can’t sign.”

Lou Ling: “It doesn’t matter. I can tell you when you can sign it.”

Half an hour later.

grass!

Joey cursed and stood up on the bed.

Looking at Lou Ling who was still leisurely wandering not far away, Joey said angrily: “How can I sign if you don’t come and help me over?”

Joey’s attitude can’t be said to be good, it’s even a bit bad.But Lou Ling wasn’t angry either. He stood up and walked over a few steps, extending his hand.

“Crack!”

Joey slapped Lou Ling’s hand with such force that the sound was so loud that Lou Ling paused.

Lou Ling looked sideways.

“What are you looking at?!” Joey didn’t want to apologize, “Let’s go!”

After signing the “contract” with humiliation, Joey turned around, threw the pen away, and said, “Okay?”

Lou Ling looked at the word “Joy” clearly written on the paper, raised the corners of her mouth a little, and put the paper away on the table, “Of course.”

“Say it!” Joey’s wound was so painful that he didn’t want to walk back at all, so he simply sat down on a stool nearby.

Lou Ling: “Zhang Wujing played truant and maliciously hurt others in Taixue. He has been sent to Dali Temple. Zhang Qiliang did not report the information and violated the law for personal gain. He was suspended from work for two months and fined for three years.”

Joey was still waiting for Lou Ling to continue speaking, but his voice suddenly stopped.He thought Lou Ling had paused, so he turned around and urged him to continue, “Keep talking!”

“That’s it.”

Joey couldn’t believe it, “That’s it?”

Lou Ling: “That’s it.”

“Fuck you!” Joey punched him, “You actually had the nerve to ask me to sign a ‘deed of sale’ with just a few words. Where’s your face?”

Lou Ling easily received Joey’s fist on his face, “The rest is up to you.”

Joey: “What do you mean?”

Lou Ling: “The things Zhang Wujing committed were not limited to the Imperial College and Imperial College affairs. He was looking down on human lives, flouting national laws, and trampling on imperial power… Put all these things together, even if Zhang Qiliang and Zhang Qianying want to keep Zhang Qiliang.”No matter what, it will be of no use.What’s more, Zhang Qiliang is now under house arrest in the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and Zhang Wujing is being detained in Dali Temple. After Dali Temple finds out everything, not only Zhang Wujing, but also Zhang Qiliang will not be able to escape.”

Joey: “What does this have to do with me?”

Lou Ling glanced at Joey and said, “Concubine Zhang is in the prime of her favor. If it weren’t for the pressure from the Qiao family and the Queen Mother, the emperor wouldn’t want to do anything to the Zhang family. If the injured party, that is, you, chooses to back down, then the emperor will probably let the Zhang family go without hesitation.”

Joey: “Just for Concubine Zhang?”

Lou Ling: “That’s right.”

Joey: “He is the emperor!”

Lou Ling: “So what?”

“…”

Okay, Joey doesn’t understand the power of love.

Seeing the confusion on Joey’s face, Lou Ling didn’t say much. He looked out through the bead curtain in the inner hall and said, “The Queen Mother should probably finish talking to Concubine Zhang at this time. Do you think the Queen Mother will let her in?”

Joey: “How do I know?”

Lou Ling: “She will come in.”

Joey followed Lou Ling’s line of sight and looked behind the bead curtain. Looking at the empty outside, he sneered, “You know again?”

Lou Ling did not respond, but just started counting down, “Five, four, three, two, one…”

Joey looked at the outer hall where there was still no one, and felt funny. He was about to say something to sneer Lou Ling.

But the next second, seeing Wei Shanlian and Zhang Qianying walking in together, Joey turned to look at Lou Ling. The latter glanced back at Joey, then picked up the teacup on the table unhurriedly and raised his eyebrows.

What a pretense!

Joey looked at Lou Ling who was pretending to drink tea and felt speechless.

When the two people came in front of them, Lou Ling stood up and saluted.

“The Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine.”

Joey wanted to follow suit.

But before he could stand up, Wei Shanlian came over and pressed Joey down, “Since you’re injured, you should lie down well. Why do you get up?”

Joey looked at Lou Ling, who glanced at him lightly.

Joey raised his head and smiled, “I heard that if you move more after an injury, the wound will heal faster.”

Wei Shanlian: “Where did you hear these crooked truths? Go and lie down, don’t sit still.”

Joey didn’t want to lie down in front of so many people, so he took Wei Shanlian’s hand and tried to pull him away, “Empress Dowager, you really don’t have to.”

Before Joey could say anything in explanation, Zhang Qianying spoke up and went straight to Joey’s injury: “Is Young Master Qiao’s injury okay? Being able to sit here, I think he is much better than yesterday.”

Joey stopped and looked at Zhang Qianying who spoke.

Zhang Qianying’s eyes were filled with smiles. Seeing Joey tilting his head to look over, she glanced down vaguely, “I thought Mr. Qiao’s injury was very serious, so I came here with several bottles of precious medicine. But now it seems that Mr. Qiao’s condition is much better than I imagined.”

Wei Shanlian’s face was pale and she didn’t even look at Zhang Qianying.

Joey: “Thank you for your concern, the noble concubine. Compared with yesterday, Cao Min’s injuries are indeed much better.”

Zhang Qianying: “That’s very good. I think if we had these medicines, Mr. Qiao’s injuries would be healed in a short time.”

Joey looked at the medicine beside Zhang Qianying as she bowed and handed it over. She said nothing, and there was no emotion on her face. She just said lightly: “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“Just make the best use of everything. I still have some at my place. If Young Master Qiao feels good about using it, you can send someone to get it from me.”

Joey smiled lightly and said, “Thank you for your great love, the Imperial Concubine.”

Zhang Qianying looked at Joey, but suddenly sighed, as if she was a little sad: “What’s the matter? There are only a few bottles of wound medicine left and right. You are only twelve years old, and my brother is the same age as you, but he is locked up in the prison of Dali Temple. He has to endure such pain at a young age. If he is tortured in prison and has damaged his roots, even if I have more medicine, I can’t cure him.”

Wei Shanlian listened to Zhang Qianying’s hypocritical words and sneered, but she didn’t say anything and just looked at Joey, as if observing Joey’s reaction.

Lou Ling, who had no sense of presence at the moment, was also looking at Joey.

Joey, who was watched by everyone, said nothing, not a word.

The inner sanctum was silent.

Zhang Qianying, who had not waited for Joey to speak for a long time, could no longer keep the smile on her face, and finally took the initiative to speak again: “Young Master Qiao, my brother is about the same age as you, and what happened yesterday must have been accidentally done by him. Now that you are in good health, why not forgive Wu Jing for his recklessness yesterday. Shaking hands and talking to many friends, I think it will also be of great benefit to Young Master Qiao in the future. The Zhang family…”

“The Imperial Concubine.” Joey interrupted Zhang Qianying. He looked straight at the latter and said expressionlessly: “If the Imperial Concubine feels that the injuries on Cao Min’s body are insignificant, why not let Zhang Wujing break one of his legs first, and then stab himself. If he can still appear in front of me without any hindrance, then I will forgive him.”

Zhang Qianying paused.

Joey did not intend to stop there. He looked at Zhang Qianying with cold eyes, “My Lady, I am not a commoner, nor am I a piece of dough that you can flatten and round. My mother is still here, the Qin family is still here, and the Qiao family is still here. I am not a wild child without someone to protect you. Your brother is young and has a noble status, so am I a weak and bully weed? Sorry. My Lady, you should take these medicines back. I can’t bear your kindness.”

Zhang Qianying’s body trembled, and she looked at Joey in disbelief, as if she didn’t expect Joey to say such a thing.Her eyes turned suspiciously to Lou Ling, who was silent at the side.

Noticing Zhang Qianying’s gaze, Lou Ling raised her eyelids and said calmly: “Joy is my prince’s companion, and Prince Lin’s palace will naturally protect him.”

Zhang Qianying froze.

Hearing what Joey and Lou Ling said, Wei Shanlian couldn’t suppress the smile in her eyes. She was already upset by Zhang Qianying’s threatening words, but she couldn’t anymore.She glanced up and down at Zhang Qianying indifferently, “Instead of talking nonsense here, why not go back and think about how to save your brother’s life. You care about human life and despise the king’s law. Do you really think that you can just come here and say a few words? The Ai family will see how long the emperor’s favor can protect your Zhang family.”

Zhang Qianying forced a smile and said nothing, but quickly collected her emotions. She saluted Wei Shanlian and hurriedly left the Quanqing Hall.

“Do you really think you are nothing?” Wei Shanlian looked at Zhang Qianying’s back and thought disdainfully.

Turning back to look at Lou Ling on the side, Wei Shanlian said: “Prince Rong Hua, why did you come to Quanqing Palace today?”

Lou Ling: “Nothing. I just came to see Joey.”

Wei Shanlian nodded and looked at Joey, “It seems that you have a good relationship with Crown Prince Rong Hua. No wonder Yun Lan would agree to you coming to the capital to be Prince Rong Hua’s companion.”

Joey smiled and did not deny it.

“By the way.” Wei Shanlian almost forgot, “Qu Fu, who was beside the emperor just now, came over and said that the emperor will come to Quanqing Hall to see you later.”

Joey: “Oh.”

Wei Shanlian: “Qu Fu said that when the emperor came over, he wanted to ask you about yesterday’s assessment.”

“…” Joey looked up, “Huh?”

Wei Shanlian: “What’s wrong?”

Joey shook his head and put on a smile that was uglier than crying, “I didn’t do well in the test yesterday.”

Wei Shanlian: “It doesn’t matter. As long as you take it seriously, it’s not a big deal if you don’t do well in the exam.”

The key is that he is not serious!Joey thought in despair.

Joey’s head turned to Lou Ling like a stiff wooden doll.

The latter looked like he was watching a good show. When Joey looked over, he opened and closed his mouth and slowly uttered two words, “You deserve it.”

Gan!If I had known it yesterday, I wouldn’t have skipped this exam.
