"Don't you know what I do and what I use every day?"

Ji Linglan didn't have any other intentions. He understood that Fu Nanling was out of concern and didn't mean to monitor him, so even though he knew it well, he never stopped him.

Fu Nanling quickly explained: "Alan, I don't mean anything else, I just can't see you, I miss you very much, and want to know what you did and what you ate, so that I can feel more at ease. If you don't like it, then I won't ask any more questions."

Ji Linglan picked up a piece of fried green bamboo shoots, put it into Fu Nanling's bowl, and said, "Eat it, you have lost a lot of weight, you must take good care of your body when you enter the palace this time, and you must always remember that your body is Can't stop tossing."

"Yeah." Fu Nanling hurriedly responded, picked up the green bamboo shoots and put them in his mouth.

"My lord, you haven't said yet, is there a traitor around you?"

"Don't worry, Ah Lan, the person has been found out. Fu Nanping knows me, and I also know him. At most, he has a healthy body, but his brain is not very bright. Besides, judging from the current situation, it is not yet known who will win the battle." .”

Seeing Fu Nanling's confident appearance, Ji Linglan was a little relieved, and couldn't help reminding: "My lord, be careful in everything after entering the palace, and remember not to underestimate the enemy."

"Well, don't worry, Ah Lan, I will definitely save this life, and I will confess everything to you when I come back."

Ji Linglan took another piece of fish for him, and said, "Then what happened to the Yushi Mansion? Why did you and Lord Li come back together?"

Fu Nanling ate the fish with a smile, and said: "I happened to meet Li Zhi, and then I invited him to sit in the carriage and talked for a while, so I went late."

Ji Linglan raised her eyebrows, looked at Fu Nanling, and said, "It's not too late, the timing of the prince's selection is just right."

Fu Nanling was not surprised that Ji Linglan had a clear mind and could guess his thoughts.

"Before Li Zhi became an official, he was just a poor scholar. He was so poor that he almost starved to death. When he was desperate, he was spotted by the gentry in their town and recruited him to be his son-in-law. He changed his name to Sun Zhi, that is, He took his wife's surname. Since then, although he has no worries about food and clothing, he has no freedom. Later, he went to Beijing to rush for the exam and was ranked second in high school. Later, he entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Because of his official position, he was able to restore his original name. But for so many years, he has developed an instinctive retreat towards the Sun family, so that in Yushifu, it is the Sun family who is really in charge, not him."

Ji Linglan asked puzzledly: "But Mrs. Liu is Sun's biological daughter, why does Sun turn a blind eye to Lian'er's bullying?"

Fu Nanling smiled mockingly, and said, "That's because Mrs. Sun is under the restraint of Mrs. Qian, so she has to turn a blind eye."

"Could it be that the Qian family has a great background?"

"It's not that big, she's just a merchant's daughter, but Yushi's mansion is short of money, and if someone seizes the silver, it's equivalent to seizing the lifeline."

Ji Linglan became more and more confused when he heard this, and said: "Master Li and his eldest son are both officials in the court, so this salary can't support the family?"

"If it's an ordinary family, it's more than enough to support the family. It's just that Mrs. Sun is used to being extravagant on weekdays. Master Li's salary is simply beyond her means, and Mrs. Sun's natal family is down and out. She can only focus on her son and make her own decisions." Li Mingzhen decided such a marriage for Li Mingzhen. Master Li and Li Mingzhen did not know about this marriage until the dowry was given and the dowry was accepted. Haven't come back yet."

Ji Linglan nodded, and said: "That's no wonder. But Mr. Li is quite confused. Even if he divorces, he can't just lose his son's life's happiness in such a stupid way."

"Lord Li is not worried about his official reputation, but worried about Qian's situation after retiring the engagement. Who would have thought that his heart would soften at this moment, and marry such a wife for his son to come in?"

"Then what is Master Li's plan?"

"Looking at Mr. Li's previous performance, it is likely that Mrs. Qian will be kicked out of the house. As for Mrs. Sun, after all, he gave birth to two sons. Considering the relationship between husband and wife for so many years, at most she will take back her housekeeping rights. Ground her."

"It's reasonable to deal with it like this."

The two chatted while eating, and the time passed slowly, as if they had returned to the previous days.

"By the way, about the assassination last time, what did the emperor say, but what did you find out?"

"Father was furious and ordered the Eagle Guards to conduct a thorough investigation. No matter what the result is, they must always act."

"Then that's the end of the matter?"

"Even though the father is seriously ill, he is not confused. He has been in power for more than 20 years, so he still can't see this clearly? It's just that in the current situation, he chooses to turn a blind eye."

"Even so, King Ping can't be allowed to do anything wrong."

"Father has a steelyard in his heart. On the left is to make Fu Nanping the prince, and on the right is not to. Fu Nanping's self-righteous approach is gradually increasing the weight on the right. If he continues, he doesn't need me to do anything. He will ruin his future with his own hands."

"It's true, there is a limit to human tolerance. If it exceeds this limit, even if you don't give up, you will still give up what should be given up. What about your uncle? Is Gao Mei'er's death settled?"

"It is said that the murderer has been found. He is a servant of Gao Meier. Because he was greedy for Gao Meier's beauty, he wanted to force her to be with her. Gao Meier refused, so he had evil thoughts and killed Gao Meier. The rhetoric is just to deceive the ignorant people, and it cannot be considered carefully." Fu Nanling smiled sarcastically.

"Did that slave plead guilty?" Ji Linglan frowned.

"I pleaded guilty. It was probably my good uncle who coerced and lured him to confess his guilt. It is said that he lived a good life in prison. Not only did he not receive punishment, but he also had food and drink. He is waiting to be executed in the autumn."

"This is power. Whether Concubine Lin Gui or Gao Meier is a high-ranking concubine, they are all victims of power." Ji Linglan couldn't help sighing, knowing that this is not the case, but he is powerless, this is the feudalism where power is paramount The law of society's survival.

"So only when I have the supreme power can I let Alan stand by my side openly and aboveboard, and I can better pave the way for Alan's future, and ensure that even if I die, Alan can live her life in peace and joy."

Seeing the seriousness and firmness in Fu Nanling's eyes, Ji Linglan's heart couldn't be more shocked, and she murmured: "A Ling..."

Fu Nanling was startled, and then said happily: "Alan, you are finally willing to call me 'Aling'."

Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling with a complicated expression. After all, did he underestimate Fu Nanling's feelings for him?Can he really afford such affection?

"A Ling, when will you enter the palace?"

"Today, I will leave later."

"Wait for me, I'll go get something."

Ji Linglan got up and went to the bedroom, closed the door and entered the dissecting room, took the medicine prepared for Fu Nanling, wrapped it in a paper bag, and left the dissecting room.

Ji Linglan opened the paper bag, pointed to the medicine inside and carefully instructed the dosage, and said, "A Ling, do you understand?"

Fu Nanling nodded, and said, "I will remember everything Ah Lan said in my heart."

"These medicines are just for emergencies. If you drink the medicine you are used to, you should not take this again to avoid overdose. This must be remembered."

Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan who was slowly pleading, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, his long and narrow phoenix eyes smiled into crescent moons, no one knew that the ruthless prince in the center of the legend was so easy to coax, as long as Ji Linglan said a word, Make him smile.

Ji Linglan felt uncomfortable being stared at for a while, and said, "Why are you smirking, you can hear what I said clearly."

"Alan, I will enter the palace soon, and I won't be able to see each other for a while, can you give me a hug?" Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan anxiously, his eyes full of anticipation.

Ji Linglan's face became hot, and she said, "We'll talk about it when you come back from the palace."

Although Fu Nanling was a little disappointed, he also looked forward to it in his heart, and said: "Once a word is said, it is hard to follow, Ah Lan can't go back on his word."

"I only said 'let's talk', but nothing else. Are you thinking too much?"

"I don't care. 'Let's talk' here means to respond." Fu Nanling simply played a rogue.

Ji Linglan was amused for a while, but she didn't refute. She wrapped the medicine bag carefully and put it in Fu Nanling's purse.

The relationship between the two finally eased, Fu Nanling intended to enter the palace again tomorrow, but unexpectedly Pang Li came to the palace.Although Fu Nanling was a little bit reluctant, he didn't struggle anymore, got into the carriage and entered the palace.

Ji Linglan went back to the yard, looked at Liu Lian's room, saw that he was sleeping soundly, and then retreated out again.There was nothing else to do, so he began to think about the pharmacy he was going to open. He entered the dissection room at nine o'clock in the evening. Tang Tang was already waiting for him here, and there was his Mala Tang order on the table.

"It smells so good, I haven't eaten it for a long time." Ji Linglan walked to the table, picked up the chopsticks impatiently, and put a piece of bean curd stick into her mouth.

"Master, you are really punctual. Nine o'clock is nine o'clock. I have been waiting for a long time."

"I've always been on time. After following me for so long, you still don't understand? And the temperature of this Mala Tang is just right. It's almost the same temperature as it was brought from the store. You said that you have waited for a long time, do you think I will believe it? "

Tang Tang didn't feel the slightest embarrassment of being exposed, and said with a smile: "Master, you are still as sharp as ever!"

"Stop flattering. Tell me, what happy things happened, you look extra energetic today."

"Professor Li's appraisal certificate came in today. Li Mingli's exact death time was between September 9th and September 25th, exactly as the master speculated."

"That's all? Why are you so happy?"

"It's more than that. A few days ago, we went to Li Mingli's home to collect evidence and found blood in the room. It is certain that her home is the scene of the first crime. Although the scene has been cleaned up, I was still allowed to wash it in the washing machine. I found Zheng Minglei's hair on the towel inside."

"They were originally lovers. It is normal for Li Mingli's family to have traces of Zheng Minglei's life. This does not constitute evidence."

"Yes, I know that. I haven't finished talking yet. Master, don't worry." Tang Tang paused, and then said: "That hair is very special, it's dyed hair, silver-gray, it just so happens that I also I found a silver-gray hair in Li Mingli's hair. I thought it belonged to Li Mingli, but based on the criteria of our evidence search, I did the extraction of mitochondrial DNA. After I found that hair, I also extracted it. Mitochondrial DNA was used, and the data of the two were in perfect agreement."

Ji Linglan's eyes lit up, and she also became excited, saying: "This is the key evidence. As long as it can be confirmed that the chemical substances in the two hairs are the same, it can prove that the two hairs belong to Zheng Minglei. He can't get away with Mingli's crime."

"Yeah, I think so too. But I didn't tell anyone in the team about this evidence. Only Xiao Jin and I know it. I want to report it after everything is confirmed."

Xiao Jin's full name is Jin Xiaohan, and he is an assistant sent by the police station to Tang Tang. Tang Tang has been promoted to a formal forensic doctor a year ago.

"It's right for you to do this. After all, there are ghosts in the team, but the evidence must be preserved carefully and comprehensively, lest the hard-earned evidence will not be recognized in the end."

"Master, don't worry, I am no longer the Xiaobai who just arrived five years ago."

Looking at Tang Tang, Ji Linglan really lost the youthfulness of the past, and now he is a mature man, but it's a pity...he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"Eat it quickly, if you continue, this Mala Tang will be cold."

Tang Tang moved two stools over, sat on the seat to the right, and said while eating, "Master, why did you come to me?"

"I bought a shop over there. I want to open a pharmacy and sell some medicines that are always in the family. I want to discuss with you how to get it."

"How big is the shop, and where is it located?"

"In Kyoto, three floors, about [-] square meters."

"Such a big shop is still in the capital, so it shouldn't be cheap, right? Master, you have earned a lot in the past three years, which is much better than forensic medicine."

Ji Linglan suddenly remembered that the 3000 taels for the shop seemed to be paid by Fu Nanling himself.He said awkwardly: "It's half a sale, half a gift."

When Tang Tang heard this, he asked tentatively: "Master, this shop doesn't belong to that prince, does it?"

"I didn't know it when I bought it at first, but later they said it was a slip of the tongue, so I knew it was his shop." I don't know why Ji Linglan always feels a little uncomfortable.

"How much money did it cost?"

"3000 taels." Ji Linglan thought that when Fu Nanling came back, he would definitely make up the silver ticket.

Tang Tang smashed his mouth and said: "3000 taels, such a big shop, it is really a free gift. This prince is really willing to spend the capital to please the master."

Ji Linglan suddenly remembered that box, which contained all of Fu Nanling's net worth, which was much more valuable than this shop.

Ji Linglan said angrily: "Why do you sound so awkward, is your master such a materialistic person?"

Tang Tang laughed "hehe" twice, and asked: "Master, you said a few days ago that you didn't understand some things, what about now?"

"Not yet, there are more important things to do now, this can be delayed."

"Then what exactly is the master planning?"

"What is the plan? Didn't I say that I want to open a pharmacy."

"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about the relationship between the master, what are your plans?"

Ji Linglan was silent for a while, and said: "I don't know, we can only take one step at a time in this situation."

"Master, are you really tempted?"

Ji Linglan's silence has actually told him the answer. If it was the past, Ji Linglan would not say 'I don't know'.

Ji Linglan said with a wry smile: "No one will be indifferent to being treated wholeheartedly by such a person."

"Then master intends to accept this feeling?"

"I don't know, it's too early to talk about it now." Ji Linglan changed the subject: "Let's not talk about that, let's talk about the opening of the store."

Seeing that Ji Linglan didn't want to say anything, Tang Tang didn't ask any more questions, and said, "Master, I think it's too troublesome to open a drug store. You might as well open a cosmetics store. Modern cosmetics were not available in ancient times. For those noble ladies, As long as it is useful, I am absolutely willing to spend money. If you are offering a makeup course, the money will not flow in."

Ji Linglan was amused for a while, and said: "Tang Tang, why did you study forensic medicine in the first place? It's a shame that you don't do business with your brain."

"When I was studying forensic medicine, I was angry with my classmates. They knew that they had blood dizziness, and they would always use it to amuse me. Once I got into a fight with them. They said that if I dared to study medicine, they would not take this thing anymore. You made fun of me, and then I got angry and simply studied forensic medicine." Tang Tang turned and leaned against the cabinet, and said: "After studying forensic medicine, I was gradually fascinated by it, and then it became an interest, especially After coming to the master, I learned not only the technique from the master, but also the responsibility and mission of the forensic doctor, which has benefited me forever in my life. Master, I am really grateful to you!"

"Stop talking about these nasty words, and goose bumps will rise."

"Master, don't you think my idea is very good?"

Ji Linglan said angrily: "What's so good, I'm a big man and I don't know how to put on makeup. I can't tell what those bottles and jars of women are, and I teach people to put on makeup?"

"Master, this can be learned, and you have always envied other people's disguise skills, our makeup skills are not bad at all, you learn it, and then synthesize it, maybe you can create a unique skill Woolen cloth."

"Disguise?" Ji Linglan became a little interested.

"That's right, you don't have to be overwhelmed by art. It's never wrong to learn more things, not to mention that you can make money. The most important thing is that those things have no risk. Unlike drugs, if you have allergies, you can't do them." Skin test, if something happens, I really can't tell."

Ji Linglan nodded and said, "You're right, so let's do it this way. The first floor will be a pharmacy selling some standing medicines; the second floor will be cosmetics; the third floor will be selling perfume."

"Perfume is good, high-end perfume is a luxury. By the way, master, how is the location of your shop, and what kind of consumer groups live around?"

Thinking about the mansions around the shop, Ji Linglan smiled helplessly, and said: "There are officials and officials all around, and they are either rich or expensive."

Tang Tang's eyes lit up, and he said, "If you have a good relationship, you can take the high-end route, so you can sell luxury goods."

"Sold there, the packaging must be customized, and it should not be too modern, so as not to arouse suspicion. I don't want to be treated as a monster."

"That's no problem. My shopping mall just picked up a new brand of cosmetics. It is said that the sales are pretty good. It shouldn't be difficult for them to customize the packaging."

"Then, just wait for me to believe it. I'll have someone redecorate the shop. If it can really open, then we will do it according to our ideas."

Tang Tang asked strangely: "Isn't this shop just for business? Why are you still not sure if it can be opened?"

Ji Linglan sighed, and explained: "The emperor is seriously ill, and now all the princes are vying for the crown prince, and the capital is not peaceful."

"Master, does that prince of yours also have such thoughts?"

"What is my prince? I haven't established a relationship with him yet, so don't talk nonsense."

"It's not a matter of time." Tang Tang muttered softly.

Ji Linglan scolded with a smile: "You're in need of cleaning up, don't you?"

"Cheng Chengcheng, if I don't say anything, does he also want to fight for the throne?"

"He said that only by sitting in that position can he be with me openly."

"Master, do you believe this?"

"If you saw the expression on his face when he said that, you would believe it too."

Tang Tang hesitated, and said: "Master, you are very smart and sensitive, but at the same time, you are also very naive and simple. People like them who have lived in intrigue since childhood, we can't imagine how deep-minded they are, We can't figure out which sentence they said is true and which sentence is false. I know that you may not like to hear what I say, but I am really afraid that you will be used and hurt."

"Silly boy, no matter what I say, I have lived for more than [-] years. I still have a little heart. I won't be like those stunned young people who fell in love. I don't care about the so-called love. I have my own considerations." And judgment, take it easy."

Tang Tang still said worriedly: "Master, the battle for the throne is always accompanied by rivers of blood. In such a dangerous situation, if you can get out in time, let's get out in time."

"I have the space to save my life. What am I afraid of? There is nothing to worry about. If there is any danger, I will hide here at worst."

"Well, if the shop really opens, the master will let me know."

"Don't worry about me all the time. Be careful yourself, especially the evidence that can convict Zheng Minglei. It's hard for him to jump over the wall in a hurry when he finds out."

"Well, I can trust Xiao Jin."

After the two chatted for a while, Ji Linglan left the anatomy room, went back to the bedroom, took a bath, changed clothes, and then went to bed.

At midnight, Ji Linglan was sleeping soundly, when he suddenly heard a 'pop', and then vaguely heard Lu Jiu's cry, his heart was jolted up, and his head instantly woke up.He hurriedly got out of bed and walked to the window. By the moonlight, he found a hole in the window, and the place where the window paper was torn was facing inwards, which meant that someone pierced the window with something outside, and that thing was still there. in the room.

Ji Linglan remembered the voice he heard at the beginning, he turned his head to look in the direction of the bed, and found a metal flash at the head of the bed.He walked back to the bed and looked at the dart stuck in the head of the bed, which seemed to be tied with something.He took out a handkerchief, wrapped it around the dart, and carefully pulled it out.

"Dong dong dong", there was a knock on the door, followed by Xiao Linzi's voice.

"Young Master, Young Master, are you okay? If you hear it, you should be a servant."

Ji Linglan quickly responded, "I'm fine."

Hearing the response, Xiao Linzi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "It's good that you are fine, but someone broke in just now, and Mr. Lu has already gone after him."

"I'm fine, go and rest."

"The servant should stay outside and feel at ease, and the young master can rest at ease."

"It's up to you, if you can't hold on, go back to sleep."

After Ji Linglan finished speaking, she took the dart directly into the dissection room.Go to the window and close the curtains, take out the mobile phone from the locker, turn on the flashlight, and carefully examine the darts on the handkerchief. It is a very common dart with a note wrapped around the end of the dart.Ji Linglan put on gloves, cut the tangled thread with scissors, and took the note.Putting the darts on the table, Ji Linglan opened the note, and there were two lines of small characters written on it: If you want to know the secret of Fu Nanling, go to Begonia Garden in Pingqiao Lane at noon tomorrow.

The font is plum blossom lowercase, and every word is beautifully written, which shows that the person who wrote the note has a good education.Although the paper is ordinary, the quality of the paper is very good. It is high-quality rice paper, which shows that this person's family background is good.There is no sign, and there is no stage name. It is obvious that the other party does not want him to know his identity, but he is sure that he will go.It can be seen from this that the man is very conceited.

Knowing Fu Nanling's secrets, someone who is knowledgeable, has a good family background and is conceited, the first thing Ji Linglan thinks of is Fu Nanping.

He and Fu Nanping had never met each other before Lin Guifei's case, let alone any entanglement, but Fu Nanping seemed to be very familiar with him, and when he looked at himself with the inevitable look in his eyes, Ji Linglan always let it go. Heart bored.

"Fu Nanping..."
