Ji Linglan stated her speculation truthfully, and said, "I still haven't figured out why he killed me."

In a state of drunkenness, she can still accurately deduce who the poisoner is, and can make the other party have to admit it, which is enough to show that Ji Linglan is really smart and sharp, but she can't think of a reason for Lynch to do it. It is enough to prove that he really has a clear conscience.

Ji Mingjie glanced at Ji Mingqiu, and just about to speak, he heard the palace door being pushed open, and Princess Yaohua and Ji Pingting walked in one after another.

"Father, uncle." Ji Pingting saluted politely.

"Ting'er doesn't need to be too polite." Ji Mingjie smiled, turned his head to look at Princess Yaohua, and saluted: "I will see the princess."

"Uncle, you don't need to be too polite." Princess Yaohua came to the bedside through the two, looked at Ji Linglan, and asked with concern: "Is Ah Lan feeling better?"

Looking at the obviously haggard Princess Yaohua, Ji Linglan felt a little guilty, and said: "It's much better, the child is not filial, and the mother is worried."

"No, it's my mother's fault, it's all my fault for trusting others, otherwise Ah Lan wouldn't be hurt." Princess Yaohua's eyes were full of self-blame.

"It's all my fault. If it wasn't for my curiosity, I insisted on trying that bowl of hangover soup, leaving my brother behind, and Lynch wouldn't have a chance to do it." Saying that, Ji Pingting couldn't help but blame herself Eye sockets are red.

"Mother, Ting'er, you don't need to blame yourself, I just suffered some flesh injuries, it's not that serious." Ji Linglan felt helpless, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which time it is now, why am I so hungry?"

"Alan is hungry, you wait, mother will cook you something to eat." Princess Yaohua got up and walked out of the hall.

Ji Mingqiu hurriedly stopped her, and said in a gentle voice: "Yao'er, you stay and take care of A Lan, and I'll make breakfast."

Princess Yaohua thought of her own cooking skills, her face became hot, and she said: "Then you go, remember to cook some meals that replenish energy and blood."

"Okay, I'll make a note." Ji Mingqiu turned to look at Ji Mingjie, and said, "Brother, it's already dawn, you'd better go back earlier, as long as we take care of you here."

"Okay, then I'll come see Alan again sometime."

Ji Mingjie didn't say any more, and after bidding farewell to Princess Yaohua, he left the side hall with Ji Mingqiu.

Ji Linglan was talking to Princess Yaohua when a precious voice suddenly came from outside the palace, "The emperor is here!"

Princess Yaohua and Ji Pingting rushed to the door to greet her, the palace door was opened, and Lin Tianyao appeared in front of the two of them, saluting in unison: "My son (Ting'er) sees my father (grandfather)."

"Exemption." Lin Tianyao asked directly: "Yao'er, how is Ah Lan?"

Princess Yaohua replied: "Father, don't worry, Ah Lan has woken up and seems to be in good spirits."

"Grandfather."

Seeing that Ji Linglan was struggling to get up, Lin Tianyao quickly said: "Lie down, lie down quickly, what time is it, there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Grandfather." Ji Linglan lay back on the bed again, and said guiltily: "Alan made Grandfather worry, it is Alan who is not filial."

"As long as you are fine, you can talk about anything." Lin Tianyao came to the bedside and sat down, and said distressedly: "Why is your complexion so bad? How is it hurt?"

Ji Linglan said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't worry, Ah Lan only hurt his flesh, not his muscles and bones. His bad complexion is because he lost some blood, and he will definitely make up for it in a few days."

Lin Tianyao nodded and said: "What happened yesterday, tell the emperor to hear about it."

Ji Linglan didn't hide anything and told the truth about what happened yesterday.

Lin Tianyao frowned, and said, "Did someone poison the hangover soup last night?"

Ji Pingting interjected, "Yes, Grandfather, the hangover soup is highly poisonous, Tinger has tested it."

Ji Linglan said truthfully: "Grandfather, it was my cousin who saved me."

Lin Tianyao sighed in relief, and said, "Yong Ye is a clear kid."

"Yeah, it's thanks to that child Yong Ye that Ah Lan is alive this time."

"My cousin has been weak since he was a child, and what he needs most is the care of his relatives. It's just that the prince's uncle doesn't know how to express, and his aunt is too strong, so he becomes withdrawn and out of group. Now he has to face a dilemma, It must be hard to think about my cousin. If it is possible in the future, the imperial grandfather will take my cousin more."

Lin Tianyao nodded and said: "It is true that I neglected this child, and I will make up for it in the future."

"Thank you, grandpa."

Lin Tianyao looked at Ji Linglan, and asked directly: "Alan, you know who is going to harm you, and you also know why I brought you by my side, why do you still speak for Yong Ye like this?"

Ji Linglan smiled and said: "She is her, and my cousin is my cousin. We can't generalize. Besides, Ah Lan has no big ambitions. Her biggest wish is to have a safe family and grow old with her beloved. We must live up to the good intentions of the emperor's grandfather."

Lin Tianyao looked at Ji Linglan seriously, sighed after a while, and said, "Alan, what is in your heart is not what is in my heart, nor is it what the people in the world want? It's just that if everyone What kind of situation will Linguo fall into? As the blood of the royal family, we also have an inescapable responsibility."

Ji Linglan was startled, looking at Lin Tianyao with a solemn expression, he didn't know what to say.

Lin Tianyao didn't say any more, and after instructing Ji Linglan to recover from his illness, he left the side hall.

Ji Linglan looked up at Princess Yaohua, and asked with complicated emotions: "Mother, am I being too selfish?"

Princess Yaohua shook her head and said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with pursuing the life you want. A Lan can do whatever she wants. Mother is there for everything."

Ji Linglan was moved and said, "Mother, you will spoil me like this."

Princess Yaohua said domineeringly: "If you are spoiled, you will be spoiled, I can afford it."

Seeing this, Ji Pingting interjected, "There's me, there's me, I want to be spoiled too."

"You, a monkey, haven't you been spoiled a long time ago?"

"Mother, how can anyone get it?"

……

Since Ji Linglan was injured, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. In the past half month, he has lived the life of a rice bug who opens his mouth and stretches out his hands when he eats.Seeing that her standard figure tended to develop into a man with a big belly, Ji Linglan sternly rejected Princess Yaohua's feeding, and insisted on gradually recovering from exercise.

Seven days ago, Gao Zhenzhen suddenly became seriously ill. After Lin Tianyao got the news, he sent the imperial physician to treat her, but was told that she was terminally ill and feared that she would die soon.Under Lin Yongye's begging, Lin Tianyao let go, and let Gao Zhenzhen out of the Yilan Palace.However, he sent his henchmen to monitor her every move in the name of taking care of her.

"Brother, cousin and sister are here to see you." Ji Pingting brought Lin Yongye and Lin Xian'er into the yard together.

Ji Linglan stopped, picked up the handkerchief to wipe off her sweat, and said with a smile: "Cousin, cousin, you are here."

Lin Xian'er smiled and said, "I'm free today, so I came to see you, how is your recovery?"

"It's almost ready, thank you cousin for your concern." Ji Linglan turned to look at Ji Pingting, and said, "Tinger, take your cousin in and sit down for a while. I'll tidy up and go over right away."

"Okay. Cousin, cousin, let's go in and sit down." Ji Pingting greeted the two into the front hall.

Ji Linglan simply washed up, changed her clothes, and then walked to the front hall.

"Ting'er, the color of your lip balm is so pretty, where did you buy it?"

"My brother gave it to me. If my cousin likes it, she can take it. I have a whole set at my place, in various colors."

"A complete set? Can you show me?"

"Of course. Cousin, not only lip balm, my brother also gave me a lot of cosmetics. Look at my eyes, don't they look big and energetic? This is because I have painted eyeliner and eye shadow. And I Does your nose stick out a lot, it's all because of makeup."

Ji Linglan heard Ji Pingting's eloquent voice right outside the door.

"Is there such a magical effect? ​​Then take me to see it."

"But what about my cousin?"

"Alan will come over later, let him wait, he doesn't understand the affairs of our daughter's house."

"OK then."

As soon as Ji Linglan entered, she saw Ji Pingting and Lin Xian'er walking out together.

"Brother, I'll take my cousin to my yard, you can chat with my cousin."

"Alan, I'll leave it to you, Big Brother. Ting'er and I have something to do."

Without waiting for Ji Linglan to respond, Lin Xian'er dragged Ji Pingting out the door, her eager look was not at all dignified as a princess should be.

Seeing this, Ji Linglan couldn't help feeling amused, and couldn't help but slander in her heart: Sure enough, no matter what era, girls are most concerned about how to become beautiful.

Ji Linglan walked into the front hall, and Lin Yongye sat there expressionlessly, as if Lin Xian'er and Ji Pingting came and went, and everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him.It's just that when Ji Linglan came in, there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes.

Ji Linglan smiled, broke the dullness in the room, and said, "What kind of tea does cousin like to drink?"

"All good." The answer was as short as ever.

"What if I have to let my cousin choose one?" Ji Linglan patiently searched for a topic.

Lin Yongye frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Longjing."

"Okay." Ji Linglan raised her voice and shouted: "Youran, go make a pot of Longjing for your son."

Li Youran quickly responded and said, "Yes, this subordinate will go right away."

Li Youran and Ma Mingxuan were carefully selected by Princess Yaohua from the many youths in the other courtyard, in order to have two trustworthy people around Ji Linglan.

"Cousin, I have been recuperating these days, and I have not been able to thank you in person. Since my cousin came to the door today, I will simply be lazy. Thank you for saving my life last time." Ji Linglan stood up, Bow down and salute.

Lin Yongye also stood up, stepped aside, and said, "I didn't intend to save you."

Ji Linglan was startled, and then said: "No matter what my cousin thought at the time, it is a fact that you saved me, and I should thank you."

Lin Yongye looked straight at Ji Linglan, was silent for a while, and said, "You don't resent me?"

"Resentment?" Ji Linglan looked back at Lin Yongye and said, "Does my cousin want to kill me?"

Lin Yongye looked away, was silent again, and said, "Thought about it."

Ji Linglan was startled, and then asked curiously: "Can I ask the reason?"

Lin Yongye raised his head and looked at Ji Linglan a little confused. He obviously didn't expect Ji Linglan to react like this, and replied truthfully: "Mother and concubine said that you are a threat to my father."

Ji Linglan then asked: "Then why did you give up on this idea?"

There was another silence, Lin Yongye answered irrelevantly and said: "You really want to thank me?"

Ji Linglan was startled, and then said: "It's only natural."

Ji Linglan thought that he wanted to make an offer, and after waiting for a while, she heard Lin Yongye say: "The food you cooked last time was delicious."

Ji Linglan was stunned for a while, and when she realized it, she couldn't help crying and laughing, and said: "Cousin, you see that I have not recovered from my serious injury, and I am really exhausted, how about..."

A look of disappointment appeared in Linyongye's stagnant eyes. When he was about to speak, he heard Ji Linglan say: "Why don't you help me, cousin. If there are two of you, it should be fine."

Lin Yongye looked at Ji Linglan in a daze, was silent for a while, and said, "I won't."

"It doesn't matter, I'll teach you, Ting'er didn't know it before, and it's not bad to be fucked by me now." Ji Linglan looked at the time, and said: "It's getting late now, let's do what we say, go to the imperial dining room first The room selects fresh ingredients."

After speaking, Ji Linglan got up and walked out, seeing that Lin Yongye was still there, as if she hadn't recovered yet.Ji Linglan stretched out her hand to grab his wrist, and said: "Cousin, we are not the same now, you can't be lazy in the name of poor health..."

Lin Yongye didn't hear what Ji Linglan said later, but just stared blankly at the hand being held by Ji Linglan.

Ji Linglan dragged Lin Yongye to the imperial dining room, deliberately dismissed Ma Mingxuan, and brought no one with him. When they came back, the two of them each carried a basket of vegetables, stopped and went, and returned to Yaohua Palace after a long while. The other reason is that I want to have a few more words with Lin Yongye.

In the kitchen, Ji Linglan looked at the eggs on the ground in a daze. This scene seemed familiar. Fu Nanling also broke eggs when he was learning how to make custard with him.Thoughts were drifting away, Ji Linglan stood there in a daze.

Lin Yongye was a little strange, and shouted: "Alan, Alan..."

Ji Linglan came back to her senses, and said, "Sorry, I'm a little dazed, where are we talking?"

Lin Yongye said nothing, and pointed to the eggs on the ground.

"Yes, yes, eggs. Cousin, when you beat the eggs, don't use too much force. Knock gently on the side of the bowl. When you hear the sound of breaking, use your thumbs to break the egg shells with a little force at the place where the cracks appear. , Knock it in the bowl." Ji Linglan demonstrated while talking.

Lin Yongye watched carefully, and his eyes learned quickly, but when he started to use it, it was useless.After wasting five eggs one after another, Ji Linglan quickly stopped Lin Yongye's hand from holding the eggs, and said, "Cousin, why don't you learn something else, I'll crack these eggs for you."

Lin Yongye seemed to be on the fence with the egg, looked at Ji Linglan extremely seriously, and said, "I can learn."

Ji Linglan was stunned, took the egg out of Lin Yongye's hands, and said with a smile: "Cousin, if you can't learn it, you can't learn it. There are some things that require talent to do well, such as playing the piano. , although I like to listen to the music, but I don't know anything about playing the piano, and I can't learn it anyway. Cousin, don't push yourself too hard, you are not a fairy, and you don't have to do everything well. "

Lin Yongye looked up at Ji Linglan in a daze, as if he couldn't understand what he said.

Ji Linglan felt distressed for a while, the child was obviously driven stupid by Gao Zhenzhen.In his thinking, he is the eldest son of the prince's mansion, the future prince of a country, he must learn everything and do everything well.

"Cousin, what you lack now is not to study, but to relax. The string in your mind is too tight, and if you push yourself, it will break." Ji Linglan knocked the egg in Linyongye. In the bowl in front of him, he said: "Don't take cooking as a task, but as a hobby, if you are interested, do it, if you are not interested, don't do it. No one here will force you, and you should not force yourself. Besides , you are the eldest son of the prince's mansion, you can leave cooking to the servants."

Lin Yongye watched Ji Linglan busy in front of the stove, was silent for a while, and asked, "Why do you do this?"

"I was forced by life." Ji Linglan replied casually: "There is no one to take care of me, so I can only rely on myself... Doesn't my cousin know? I have been begging for a living since I was eight years old, and my life is very difficult."

What Ji Linglan said earlier was about herself in the real world, maybe she was too relaxed and almost forgot the environment she was in now.

"Eight years old..." Lin Yongye picked up the chopsticks and imitated Ji Linglan to beat the eggs in the bowl.

"Well, I have lost all my memories of before the age of eight."

"Don't you resent?"

"Resentment for what?" Ji Linglan looked up at Lin Yongye, then cracked the egg in his hand, and said jokingly: "There is a cloud in the book, "Heaven will send a great mission to the people, so you must first work hard and work hard." Muscles and bones, starving his body and skin, emptying his body, and disturbing his actions, so he was tempted to endure, and once benefited what he couldn't do'. Look at me now, the imperial cook in the palace is not as good as me."

Lin Yongye looked at Ji Linglan seriously, he had never seen such an innocent person like Ji Linglan.Lin Yongye thought about it for a while, and he was a little short of words after reading a lot, so he could only use 'naive' to describe Ji Linglan.

"Cousin, it's fine, don't call anymore."

Lin Yongye came back to his senses, looked away in embarrassment, and stopped what he was doing.

The two of them worked hard for an hour and a half before they finished all the meals.Ji Linglan looked at Lin Yongye, and asked with a smile, "Are you tired, cousin?"

Lin Yongye shook his head, seeing the sweat on Ji Linglan's face, he hesitated for a moment, took out the handkerchief and handed it to him.

Ji Linglan didn't care, she took it and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "Thank you, cousin."

Lin Yongye clenched the handkerchief in his hand, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and followed Ji Linglan out of the kitchen.

"Hey, it smells so good." Ji Pingting, who had just walked into the yard, smelled the aroma of barbecue, and seeing Ji Linglan coming out with a food box, she hurriedly greeted her and said, "Brother, you are not in good health yet. Why are you cooking again?"

Although Ji Pingting was greedy, she cared most about Ji Linglan's body.

"I didn't do it myself, and my cousin helped me." Ji Linglan handed the food box in her hand to Ji Pingting, and said, "This is for the imperial grandfather. Ting'er has worked hard and sent it to the imperial grandfather." .”

Ji Pingting took the food box, frowned and said, "Brother, are you really feeling well?"

"No, do you think I'm someone who has something to do?" Ji Linglan rubbed Ji Pingting's head affectionately, and said with a smile, "Go, we'll eat when you come back."

Ji Pingting was instantly pleased, and said, "Yeah, I'll go right away."

Ji Linglan looked at Li Youran beside him, and said, "Youran, follow the Princess."

"Yes, master."

Seeing Li Youran follow Ji Pingting out of the courtyard, Ji Linglan said with a smile: "Cousin, cousin, let's drink tea in the front hall and wait a while."

Naturally, the two had no objection, and followed Ji Linglan to the front hall.

After each took their seats, Lin Xian'er hesitated, and said: "Alan, I heard that Ting'er said that you gave her cosmetics, and that you are going to open a shop in the imperial capital. I don't know if it is true or not?"

Ji Linglan nodded, and said: "I did have this plan, but because of the injury, the matter slowed down."

Lin Xianer's eyes lit up, and said: "Then the cosmetics sold in your shop are the ones Tinger uses?"

"Tinger's ones are custom-made, and they are somewhat different from those sold in the shop, but they have the same effect."

"Then, can Ah Lan customize a set for me? Don't worry, I won't get it for nothing!"

"What did my cousin say? If you want it, I'll give you a set. I didn't give it to you before. I thought there was a misunderstanding between us, and I was afraid that there would be some trouble."

Although what Ji Linglan said was very cryptic, both Lin Yongye and Lin Xian'er were smart people, and they knew what Gao Zhenzhen did, so they naturally understood the meaning of what he said.

Lin Xian'er glanced at Lin Yongye and said, "Alan, there was indeed some misunderstanding between us before, but don't worry, we will not repeat the same mistakes in the future."

"Since my cousin doesn't dislike it, I'll give her a set, but the custom cosmetics are a little more troublesome to make, and my cousin will have to wait for a few days to make it."

"Okay, just wait for a few days, Ah Lan doesn't have to be impatient, just pay attention to your health." Lin Xian'er thought that Ji Linglan would do it by herself, so she said that.

Ji Linglan didn't explain, and asked: "Cousin, what kind of fragrance do you like, is it elegant or strong, it's best to be specific, and it's good for reference when making it."

"I like a more elegant taste. Tinger's 'Dream Girl' taste is very good."

"Success, I see, I will definitely satisfy my cousin."

Ji Linglan was chatting with Lin Xian'er, Lin Yongye just sat and listened, but kept looking at Ji Linglan.

"Cousin, what scent do you like?"

Lin Yongye was taken aback by the question, obviously he didn't understand why Ji Linglan asked such a question, and said, "What?"

Ji Linglan explained: "I also have men's perfume here, which is similar to a sachet. If my cousin wants it, I can also give him a bottle."

"sandalwood."

"Sandalwood?" Ji Linglan frowned slightly, and said, "I don't necessarily have it there."

Seeing this, Lin Yongye said calmly: "Then feel free."

"How about it, I'll take a few more and let my cousin choose by himself. You can take whichever you like."

Lin Yongye responded lightly: "Okay."

"Brother, I'm back."

Hearing his voice before seeing him, Ji Pingting greeted her as soon as she entered the yard.

Ji Linglan smiled helplessly, and said: "This girl is really getting more and more unruly."

Lin Xian'er said with a smile: "Ting'er has been lively and active since she was a child, and she actually likes to study some strange things. She used to be close to the two of us, but now that A Lan is here, she has forgotten about us."

"My cousin was joking. Ting'er and I talked the most about how you took care of her when I was a child. It's just that when I first came to the Imperial Capital, she was afraid that I wouldn't adapt, so she had more company."

"Brother, cousin, cousin, come out quickly, the barbecue will be cold later, it won't taste good."

Ji Linglan said with a smile when she heard the words: "Cousin, cousin, let's go out, I'm afraid this little greedy cat can't bear it anymore."

"Walk around, last time I heard from my father that the food made by Alan is delicious, delicious, especially the barbecue has a special flavor. I have wanted to try it for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity. This time I must not miss it."

The three of them came to the restaurant together and saw that the food on the table had been set, and Ji Pingting stared straight at it.

"You greedy cat, your saliva is dripping out."

Ji Pingting subconsciously stretched out her hand to wipe it, but found nothing, and said coquettishly, "Brother, you're teasing me again!"

Lin Xian'er joked, "It's not that someone is too unreserved, with the words 'I'm a greedy cat' written brightly on his face."

Ji Pingting said aggrievedly: "Cousin, even you are entertaining me!"

Ji Linglan smiled and said: "Okay, okay, let's take a seat quickly, it will get cold later, and the taste will be bad."

The four sat down one after another. Ji Linglan took a clean plate, put a few skewers of barbecue on it, put it in front of Lin Yongye, and said, "Cousin, these are yours, and the rest are ours."

Lin Yongye looked at the plate in front of him, remembering what Ji Linglan said that day when he had dinner in Lin Tianyao's bedroom, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he nodded slightly.

Lin Xian'er looked at Lin Yongye, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then said with a smile: "Alan, do you know how long I haven't seen my elder brother smile?"
