"Is Alan still angry?"

Ji Linglan was startled, then said with a smile: "Cousin, why am I angry? It's just a quarrel between siblings, it's over when it's over."

"Then why didn't Ah Lan send someone to bring the medicine?"

Ji Linglan explained: "Cousin Xiangwan said that the remaining poison in my cousin's body was not cleared. I was afraid that my medicine would react with the toxin in my cousin's body, so I didn't send the medicine over. Cousin, I'm sorry, let me You misunderstood, I should send someone over to explain clearly."

Lin Yongye shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's fine if Ah Lan doesn't get angry."

"Cousin, your illness is severe and you still need to cultivate yourself. You should not go out in the near future."

Lin Yongye's eyes dimmed a little, and he said, "I'm used to it."

Seeing this, Ji Linglan said comfortingly: "Cousin, there is no need to be sad. We will go to Huangdu Mountain for an outing next spring."

Xiao Dezi interjected: "Your Highness, you haven't eaten all day, you must be hungry now, this servant will ask the kitchen to cook you something to eat."

Lin Yongye shook his head and said, "No need, I'm not hungry."

Ji Linglan frowned slightly when she heard the words, and said: "My cousin's body is very weak, even if you are not hungry, you should eat some. Cousin wait a moment, I will go to the kitchen and cook some porridge for my cousin."

"Alan, it's getting late, go back and rest, and we'll talk about other things tomorrow."

"Cousin is waiting." Ji Linglan couldn't help but get up and leave the bedroom.

Li Xiangwan walked to the bed and said directly: "His Royal Highness, let me help you feel the pulse."

Lin Yongye looked at Li Xiangwan silently, but did not speak.

Li Xiangwan looked at him calmly, sat down on the side of the bed, stretched out his hand to grab Lin Yongye's wrist, and said with a smile: "Patients should behave like patients, and don't shy away from medical treatment, so that you can live for a long time. Your Highness, What do you say?"

Lin Yongye struggled for his wrist, but failed to free himself. He looked at Li Xiangwan sharply, and said, "Presumptuous, how dare you be rude to me!"

Li Xiangwan said confidently: "I was invited by Ah Lan to treat His Highness, if His Highness drives me away, and Ah Lan asks, how should I answer?"

Lin Yongye's complexion changed, but he didn't take back his hand after all.

Li Xiangwan smiled with satisfaction, let go of Lin Yongye's wrist, put his fingers on it, ignored Lin Yongye's indifferent eyes, and listened carefully to his pulse.After a long while, he withdrew his hand and said, "The pulse has stabilized a bit. If you take the medicine on time, you should recover from typhoid fever within seven days. It's just that your body needs some time to recuperate before it can return to its previous state."

Surprise flashed across Lin Yongye's eyes, even the imperial physician in the palace could not cure his typhoid fever within seven days, and the man in front of him was so determined that he had to be surprised.

"You don't need to thank me too much, I only helped you for A Lan's sake." Li Xiangwan stood up and sat back limp.

Lin Yongye, who had always kept his emotions secret, was glaring at Li Xiangwan angrily at this time, but Ji Linglan couldn't get angry.

Standing aside, Xiao Dezi was at a loss, always thinking that he should say something to maintain the majesty of his master, but when he thought of this person's excellent medical skills and close relationship with Ji Linglan, he swallowed the words again.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit weird, only Li Xiangwan played chess leisurely.

After a while, Lin Yongye looked away, but his brows became more and more tightly frowned, he actually showed his emotions for an unimportant person, this has never happened before, and will not be allowed again in the future.

Half an hour later, Ji Linglan walked in from the door, holding a tray in her hand, put it on the table casually, and said: "Cousin, I made some lean meat porridge for you, you can drink a little."

Lin Yongye nodded and struggled to get up, Xiao Dezi hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and put an extra pillow behind him to let him sit on the bed.

Ji Linglan handed over the bowl and said: "This way, the porridge is not hot anymore, so my cousin can just drink it."

Lin Yongye reached out to pick it up, but almost let go.

Ji Linglan caught it quickly, and said: "Cousin, you have just subsided from a high fever and are exhausted, so let Xiaodezi feed you."

Everyone present was startled, apparently they did not expect Ji Linglan to say that.

Satisfied, Li Xiangwan stood up and said, "Alan, you have been busy all day, and it's time to go back and rest. Just leave it to me. I think His Royal Highness loves you, and I don't want you to suffer any more."

Lin Yongye's eyes flickered, he looked up at Ji Linglan, and said, "Alan, it's late, you and Mr. Li should go back together, there is little Dezi here."

Ji Linglan turned to look at Li Xiangwan, and asked, "Cousin Xiangwan, did you take your cousin's pulse just now? How's the pulse?"

Li Xiangwan nodded and said, "The pulse condition has stabilized a lot. If there is no accident, there should be nothing wrong."

Ji Linglan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Then wait for my cousin to drink this bowl of porridge, and then we'll go back."

Li Xiangwan took the porridge bowl from Ji Linglan's hand, sat down on the side of the bed, stirred it with a spoon, fed a spoonful to Lin Yongye's mouth, and said, "Your Highness, please."

Lin Yongye opened his mouth and drank the porridge in the spoon, silently looking at the man opposite.

Li Xiangwan didn't take it seriously, and fed it one spoon after another, until the porridge in the bowl was finished, then he got up and put the porridge bowl on the table.

Ji Linglan warned: "Cousin, take a rest, I will send a few more maids to guard outside, if there is something to do, Xiao Dezi will just tell them to do it."

Lin Yongye nodded and said, "I'm going to trouble Ah Lan today."

Ji Linglan smiled and said, "It's all as it should be. What's more, I didn't do anything, it was my cousin Xiang Wan who saw it for my cousin."

Lin Yongye responded, but had no intention of thanking him.

Ji Linglan was a little strange, but she didn't ask any more questions. She turned around and walked out of Linyongye's bedroom with Li Xiangwan.When they came to the garden, Ji Linglan asked aloud: "Cousin, what happened just now? Why do I feel that there is something wrong between you and Cousin Yongye."

Li Xiangwan shrugged and said, "Nothing happened except to diagnose his pulse."

Ji Linglan frowned slightly, and said: "Cousin, Cousin Yongye is withdrawn and a bit indifferent to others, don't take it to heart."

Li Xiangwan paused, looked at Ji Linglan and said seriously: "Alan, the prince is not as simple as you imagined. Although I don't know what his purpose is, I'm sure that his purpose of getting close to you is absolutely Not simple."

Ji Linglan was silent for a while, and said: "Cousin, don't worry, I'm not stupid, I still have the precautions I should have against people."

Li Xiangwan nodded and said, "Let's go, Ling'er is still waiting for you."

"It's so late..." Ji Linglan sighed, and said helplessly, "I don't know when he can change his temperament."

"He only cares about your affairs, do you want him to change?"

Ji Linglan shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "Cousin, I'm leaving first, so I won't see you off."

"Go, is there anyone in this princess mansion who can be against me?"

Ji Linglan didn't say any more, and walked quickly towards her yard.

When Li Xiangwan returned to the guest house, a black figure suddenly appeared, bowed and said, "Master."

"What's the matter?" Li Xiangwan asked without raising his head after putting away the medical books on the table.

"Just now, when Master Cai and Young Master Ji came out of the Green Bamboo Garden, someone was secretly watching."

Li Xiangwan paused, looked up at the man, and said, "Maybe they heard my conversation with A Lan?"

"If the other party can't speak with lips, they shouldn't be able to hear it at that distance."

Li Xiangwan then asked: "Then I separated from Ah Lan, where did he go?"

"He left with Mr. Ji. Master, have they discovered the relationship between Mr. Ji and Young Master Biao?"

"The people around Ling'er are not vegetarians either. If they are found out, it would be on purpose." Li Xiangwan paused and said, "Keep an eye on the Green Bamboo Garden. I always think there is something wrong with this prince."

"Yes, master." The man bowed and exited the door.

Recalling the way Lin Yongye looked at him, Li Xiangwan chuckled and said, "Those eyes really look like a wolf cub."

When Ji Linglan returned to Tingxue Garden, she saw that the light in the bedroom was still on, feeling both heartbroken and helpless.

Seeing him coming to the door, Gao Wei saluted and said, "I have seen the master."

Ji Linglan said slowly: "It's late, you go to rest."

"Yes, master." Gao Wei replied, just as he was about to leave, he heard a sound from the roof, he jumped to the roof, only to see a black shadow flash past, and disappeared in an instant.

Ji Linglan noticed the abnormality, looked up to the roof, saw Gao Wei jumped down, and asked, "What happened?"

"Back to the master, someone was peeping just now, but when the subordinate went up, the other party had disappeared, leaving only a few traces on the tiles."

"Peeping?" Ji Linglan's expression changed, and he said, "How dare you peep in the Princess Mansion, these people are really rampant!"

"Master rest assured, just let the subordinates watch the night."

"Awei, you discuss it with Big Brother Liu and Big Brother Gao, and work night shifts."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

The door was opened, Fu Nanling poked his head out, looked at Ji Linglan at the door, and said, "Alan, you are back, why don't you come in?"

Seeing that he was only wearing an unlined garment, Ji Linglan hurried to the door and took him into her arms, and then entered the door, saying: "You dare to run out in such thin clothes, don't you think about it. "

Fu Nanling laughed 'hehe' twice, and said, "I heard you came back but didn't go in, so I was a little anxious. Ah Lan, what happened just now?"

Ji Linglan knew that he was changing the subject, but she didn't hold on to it, saying: "Gaowei found someone peeping, and when he got to the roof, he had already left."

"Peeping?" Fu Nanling frowned, and said with an ugly face: "It seems that those people still don't give up. Ah Lan, I can't wait any longer. It's time to use the thunder method to eradicate the power of the Gao family."

"The emperor's grandfather has already cut off the power of the Gao family, but after so many years, the Gao family has flourished and penetrated into the entire court. If it is removed all at once, it may cause turmoil in the court."

"Then get rid of the root cause." Fu Nanling said indifferently: "As long as Gao Zhenhai is killed and the leader of the Gao family is removed, there will be chaos within them, and it will be much easier to deal with those small fish and shrimp."

"It's not easy to kill Gao Zhenhai."

"Ah Lan, Gao Zhenhai's mission to Fu Guo this time, although he has brought a lot of people with him, it is the best time to kill him."

"You mean halfway robbery?"

"Gao Zhenhai loves to collect calligraphy and paintings of famous artists. I think the map of the country and country that Wu Qing drew for you should come in handy."

Ji Linglan frowned and said: "The painting was painted by Brother Ang with all his efforts. It would be a pity if it was destroyed! Besides, if you can't hit it with one blow, the person who takes the risk of assassination may have no return. .”

"Alan, you don't need to worry about this, just hand over the painting to me."

Ji Linglan bent down and picked Fu Nanling up, put him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and said, "I'm going to wash up, I'll be right back."

"Then hurry up, I'll warm you up."

Ji Linglan went back to the study, picked up the order list she had sorted out before, and then went into the dissection room.He opened the locker, put the list in, took out his phone and sent Tang Tang a regular text message, and then checked the messages on the phone.

Not coming over for more than half a month, and there was no message, which made Ji Linglan a little puzzled, and murmured in her heart: "Could I be wrong, Qiao Yiyi is so devoted to the Qiao family?"

Taking out the portrait he drew before and the picture of Jiangshan Sheji from the cupboard, Ji Linglan closed the cupboard and left the dissecting room.After a brief wash, he took his things and went back to the bedroom.

Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan with a smile, and said: "Alan, come quickly, the bed is warm."

Ji Linglan put the map of Jiangshan Sheji on the table, took the painting she drew to the bedside, and handed it to Fu Nanling.

Fu Nanling took the painting, opened it, and said in surprise: "Alan, did you draw this?"

Ji Linglan took off her shirt and shoes and got on the bed, took Fu Nanling into her arms, and said with a smile: "I drew it when I missed you."

"The painting is really good and lifelike. The more you look at Ah Lan, the better it looks." Fu Nanling stroked Ji Linglan on the painting.

"Send it to you if you like it."

"Then I must frame it and hang it on the bedside, hehe."

Ji Linglan was startled, and then said dumbfoundedly: "It's black and white, hanging on the bed, don't you think it's unlucky?"

"Then I will keep this one well, and Alan will paint and frame it for me some other day."

Ji Linglan thought of the wedding photos taken by modern newlyweds, and said: "A Ling, after the matter of Linguo is settled, I will show you something when I have time."

"Okay." Fu Nanling responded with a smile, and said, "Alan, let me check the accounts for you. The daily income is 5000 taels. What are you selling? Such a small shop earns money in a day. So much silver."

"The rare items I sell are only available here, so they are making money day by day."

"Then I will eat delicious and spicy food with A Lan from now on."

"Okay, I promise to make you fat and white." Ji Linglan kissed Fu Nanling's forehead, and said, "Take a rest, it's already midnight."

Fu Nanling raised his head and kissed the corner of Ji Linglan's lips, and said contentedly: "Alan, good night."

"Good night."

After being tired all day and staying up most of the night, Ji Linglan was indeed a little tired, and fell asleep after lying down for a while.

Fu Nanling raised his head to look at Ji Linglan, with deep affection in his long and narrow Danfeng eyes, he whispered: "Alan, I will do what you can't bear to do, and I will bear all the karma. No one can hurt you after hurting you. If you can get out of your body, no one can!"

In the Green Bamboo Garden, Xiao Dezi was sitting in the cubicle dozing off, when suddenly a gust of wind blew by, Xiao Dezi lay down on the table with a 'bang', and fell asleep.

A black shadow flashed past, the door of Linyongye's bedroom was pushed open, a masked man walked in, came to the bed and bowed and said: "See Master."

Lin Yongye asked blankly: "How is the situation over there?"

The man replied: "Gao Zhenhai has left the mission and has arrived in Lin'an City."

"Can you find out why his journey back home is so slow?"

"According to the investigation, every time the envoys arrive in a city, they will receive warm hospitality from the officials, which slows down the trip."

Lin Yongye was silent for a while, then said: "Accord with the original plan."

The man bowed and said, "Yes, master."

Three days later, outside Jiaocheng in the evening, a horse team came from afar. A middle-aged man came to the carriage, bowed and said, "Master, we have already arrived outside Jiaocheng. Shall we go to the city to rest?"

Inside the carriage, Gao Zhenhai pondered for a moment, and said: "It's getting late, let's go to the city to rest."

"Yes, master." Gao Zhang then raised his voice and said, "Master has an order to go to the city for repairs."

The horse team walked slowly towards the gate of the city, and because the formalities were complete, they entered the city quickly.After finding an inn in the city, Gao Zhenhai ordered a courtyard to be reserved, and then got out of the carriage.

Holding the tray, Gao Ping came to Gao Zhenhai's door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, saying: "Master, the food is ready."

"come in."

Gao Ping opened the door and walked in, bowed to the table, and put the food on the table.He raised his head and glanced at Gao Zhenhai, seeing that his face was dark and he acted more carefully. He bowed and stood aside, waiting for Gao Zhenhai's order.

"Idiots! They are all idiots!" With a 'bang', Gao Zhenhai slapped the table.

Seeing this, Gao Ping said cautiously: "Master, calm down, it will hurt you."

Gao Zhenhai said angrily: "The country that the old man has single-handedly won will be completely defeated by them. How can I not be angry?"

Gao Ping quickly said: "Yes, I know my mistake."

Gao Zhenhai was even more annoyed when he saw his submissive expression, and said, "Go, call Gao Zhang here."

"Yes, master, the slave will go now." Gao Ping bowed and exited the room, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Gao Zhenhai looked at the food on the table, put the secret letter in his hand on the candle, ignited it and watched it burn to ashes and fell into the basin, then came to the table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks to eat up.

At night, the small courtyard where Gao Zhenhai lived was quiet, without any movement.Gao Zhang just came back from work, and when he stepped into the small courtyard, he felt something was wrong. There was no guard at the door, and the courtyard was eerily quiet. He couldn't help pulling out the dagger from his waist, and walked quickly to Gao Zhenhai's room.He raised his hand and knocked on the door, saying: "Master, the slave is back."

After waiting for a while, there was no response from the room. Gao Zhang knocked on the door again, and found that the door was not closed properly, and opened a crack. He waited patiently for a while, but there was still no response, so he opened the door and walked in.

The pungent smell of blood came, Gao Zhang quickly looked at Gao Zhenhai, and found that he was lying on the table, blood was dripping on the ground, and the place under his feet was already covered with blood.Gao Zhang quickly came to Gao Zhenhai's side to check, stretched out his hand to check his breath, couldn't help being shocked, and murmured: "Dead...dead..."

Gao Zhang came back to his senses, rushed out of the room, went to other rooms to check, and found that everyone was dead, except for a few guards on duty, almost everyone died in the same manner.

"Gao Ping..." Gao Zhang suddenly found out that Gao Ping was not among these people. He looked at the food on the table and understood what was going on.

Gao Ping, who had just woken up from a coma, got up from the ground. When he was going to the kitchen to prepare food for Gao Zhenhai, someone knocked him out and threw him in the utility room of the inn. When he woke up, he was already At night, as soon as he returned to the yard, he heard Gao Zhang calling him.He quickly responded, "I'm here."

Gao Zhang heard the voice, walked out with a knife in his hand, looked at Gao Ping at the door, and said angrily: "Gao Ping, you bastard, something that is not as good as pork, how dare you betray the master!"

As soon as Gao Ping woke up, he was scolded sternly. He was also angry and said: "Gao Zhang, you are enough, don't rely on the favor of the master to be arrogant, I..."

Gao Zhenhai died for no apparent reason. Except for him who went out to perform the mission, Gao Ping was the only one left alive in the yard. It was hard for him not to suspect that Gao Ping did all of this. Then he concluded that it was him who did it. Seeing that he was still arguing, he lost his mind in anger, and rushed over with a knife in his hand.

Seeing this, Gao Ping's heart tightened, and he said loudly, "Gao Zhang, what do you want to do?"

Gao Zhang didn't intend to talk to Gao Ping, he came up to him and chopped with a knife.

While dodging, Gao Ping shouted: "Gao Zhang, you want to kill me, are you crazy?"

Gao Ping's feet suddenly slipped, and his body fell forward involuntarily. He happened to bump into the short knife that Gao Zhang had stabbed over. With a sound of "噗呵", the short knife pierced Gao Ping's body. He looked down in horror, just about to speak, But his throat felt hot, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fell to the ground unwillingly.

Hearing the movement, the waiter from the shop came over to check curiously, and saw that Gao Ping had been killed, and Gao Zhang was standing aside covered in blood, holding a bloody knife in his hand. He was suddenly frightened, and shouted: "Kill me!" Lah, murder!"

Gao Zhang was taken aback, and then stepped forward, trying to explain clearly.The shop waiter thought he was going to kill someone, so he ran out in a hurry, shouting as he ran, more and more people heard the movement and came towards this side, Gao Zhang gritted his teeth when he saw this, climbed over the courtyard wall and left the inn.

The magistrate of Jiaocheng heard that there was a murder case in the city, and hurriedly took people to the inn. When he found out that the deceased was Gao Zhenhai, he couldn't help being shocked, hurriedly wrote a memorial, and sent a horse to Beijing to report the letter.

Two days later, the reporter arrived at the imperial capital. Lin Tianyao was stunned for a long time after receiving the memorial, and then ordered Princess Yaohua to enter the palace.

In the listening snow garden, Ji Linglan and Fu Nanling were reading in the study, when the door was knocked suddenly, and Gao Wei's voice came from outside the door, saying: "Master, I have something to report."

Ji Linglan responded, "Come in."

Gao Wei pushed open the door and walked in, then closed the door again, then came to the front, enshrined the secret letter in his hand, and said: "Master, there is a secret letter."

"Secret letter?"

While Ji Linglan was in a daze, Fu Nanling took the secret letter over, opened it, couldn't help being surprised, handed the secret letter to Ji Linglan casually, and said, "Gao Zhenhai is dead."

Ji Linglan was also surprised, and then took a look at the secret letter, her eyes were even more surprised, and said: "There is someone who intercepted and killed Gao Zhenhai before you, who could this person be?"

Fu Nanling pondered for a while, then guessed: "Could it be the emperor of Linguo?"

Ji Linglan frowned slightly, and said: "It's not impossible. Knowing that Gao Zhenhai left the envoy, and being able to accurately grasp its movements, it is very likely that there is a traitor around Gao Zhenhai. But this Gao Zhang... I think he has a very good chance. Eighty-nine were framed."

Fu Nanling nodded approvingly, and said, "I think so too. But it's a good thing that someone solved this serious problem for us."

"I don't know what the emperor's grandfather should do when he hears the news of Gao Zhenhai's murder?"

"Surface work must be done, send an imperial envoy to Jiaocheng to investigate the case..." Fu Nanling paused, and said, "By the way, isn't the prefect of Jiaocheng a student of Gao Zhenhai? He should be a good scapegoat."

"You mean that the imperial grandfather will instruct the imperial envoy to plant the crime on the Jiaocheng magistrate?" Ji Linglan frowned more and more tightly.

Of course Fu Nanling knew why he was like this, and said: "Alan, I know what you are thinking, but in this situation, you must not soften your heart, otherwise..."

Ji Linglan interrupted Fu Nanling's words, and said: "A Ling, I understand, you don't need to say more, this is a power struggle, and since I am in it, I must abide by the rules."

Even so, Ji Linglan would still feel uncomfortable if things went as they expected.

How could Fu Nanling not understand his thoughts, and said: "Alan, if you don't like this kind of life, then we can put our love on the mountains and rivers and leave these intrigues, okay?"
