Lu Jinshu asked, "On the day that Your Highness holds a birthday banquet for me, can I invite the eldest princess, Concubine Lu Jinan, to come as well?"
Ling Shumo thought for a moment and said, "Today, I will report to my mother the fact that Ling Shujiao sent someone to assassinate me. Ling Shujiao will be confined to the clan residence for three days at most. As her concubine, Lu Jinan will not be able to escape this fate either. It will be very difficult for him to leave the clan residence and attend your birthday banquet."
Lu Jinshu lowered his head.
Ling Shumo reached out and lifted his chin. "I did say this was difficult, but I didn't say it was impossible. Don't worry, as long as you want, let alone Lu Jinan, even if you want to invite your mother and father to the East Palace to celebrate your birthday with you, I will satisfy your request."
The piercing pain in his shoulder did not make Lu Jinshu cry, but Ling Shumo's words made his eyes moist.
Lu Jinshu tightly grasped Ling Shumo's hand. He didn't even realize that his voice was choked with sobs. "Your Highness, I really... I really don't know how to thank you..."
Ling Shumo gently patted Lu Jinshu's back, and Lu Jinshu pressed his right cheek tightly against the palm of Ling Shumo's left hand.
Some things, once started, will pour out like a flood.
Return to the carriage of the East Palace.
Lu Jinshu told Ling Shumo many things. He talked about how he suffered from hunger in his childhood, his resentment towards his brother Lu Jinan, his disappointment towards his mother and father, and his current self.
He welded a mask of weakness and kindness on his face, thinking ten steps ahead before taking one step, because he was too scared.
He was like walking a tightrope on a cliff, with no support and had to proceed step by step carefully.
He could only stand up all his spikes like a hedgehog to ensure that he would not be hurt again.
Who doesn’t want to live as freely as Shangguan Xu? But most people don’t have the confidence like Shangguan Xu.
Ling Shumo stared at the person in front of her without blinking, "Lu Jinshu, I have always liked you. Maybe I loved you more in the past, but from now on, I am willing to give you my arms to lean on."
Lu Jinshu blinked, and then blinked again. He felt his eyes warm again.
At the beginning of the year, he said to Ling Shumo in Qiyan Pavilion of Changle Palace, "I dare not ask you to like me so much, I only ask you to give me more love." At that time, Ling Shumo rejected his plea with silence.
After such a long time, Ling Shumo answered his original question and made a promise to him directly.
His life is worth it just to receive a word of "like" from Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.
Lu Jinshu moved closer to Ling Shumo.
It was so close that Ling Shumo could clearly feel Lu Jinshu's warm breath blowing on her face.
Lu Jinshu said, "Your Highness, I want to have a child with you."
The temperature in the car suddenly rose by several degrees.
Just as Lu Jinshu's lips were about to touch hers, Ling Shumo gently but firmly pushed Lu Jinshu away, "The wound on your shoulder is bleeding. I'll ask the doctor to come in and rebandage you..."
Before Ling Shumo could finish her words, her lips were blocked.
Shi Qi knocked on the door twice more, "Your Highness, the doctor is here. Is the door stuck somewhere? Why can't it be opened?"
Inside the door, the two people who were kissing passionately were interrupted. Shi Qi only heard Ling Shumo's annoyed words "Get out!"
She touched her nose awkwardly.
It was clearly Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess who called her here just now, and there was less than ten breaths between them. Now she is asking her to get out. She changes her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
