"You're such a waste. What's the use of you? You can't even kill a mere woman." Wang Xiulin crossed his arms and scolded the maid who was kneeling on the ground with dissatisfaction.
"Princess, the second prince and the others have seen how I am. I am afraid that I will no longer be able to serve you, Princess." The maid lowered her head and said with regret.
"What are you afraid of? Brother Chenling is easily forgetful. You should go back to the countryside for a while. When the matter subsides, come back and just treat yourself well." Wang Xiulin took out a bag of gold and silver and handed it to the maid.
The maid nodded and thanked her, then left first.
At this time, the spy came to report: "Reporting to the princess, the second prince has not conducted a thorough investigation in the past few days."
"Okay, you continue to monitor the ghost doctor and report to me immediately if there is any movement."
"Subordinates take orders."
Ever since Wang Xiulin knew that Yan Ruocheng was a ghost doctor, she sent someone to monitor her every move. The last time a plague happened in the Hanshan Lingshi area, she learned that Yan Ruocheng disguised herself as a man and went to get close to Huang Chenling.
He was determined to put Yan Ruocheng to death. He sent someone to instigate the gambling palace servant to replace the fake medicine with the purpose of putting Yan Ruocheng in jail.
However, Huang Chenling protected Yan Ruocheng to the point of coming forward. She was puzzled and couldn't understand that her brother Chenling actually fell in love with an ugly girl. How could she be inferior to that ugly girl?
female.
The more Wang Xiulin thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She threw the orchid fragrance bottle that Huang Chenling had given her some time ago and threw it into the corner, smashing it into pieces.
"I was so fascinated by that ugly girl that I even forgot what floral scent I like. I have never liked the scent of orchids. Brother Chenling, you are mine and you can't escape anywhere."
The emotions of anger and jealousy have long covered her reason, and now Wang Xiulin's mind is filled with thoughts about how to take over Huang Chenling's whole person.
In the past few days, Yan Ruozhen took the time to ask Huang Chenling to go boating on the lake. Although Huang Chenling was tight-lipped, he was petty. Since she did not properly thank him for saving her life, he treated her like a fool when he saw her.
Just like transparency, just ignore it and pass by.
However, he did send someone to protect her secretly. When she noticed this, she felt that she had not thanked him properly, and she really couldn't say anything.
So, now I am hiding near the road that Huang Chenling must pass, and I have made some exquisite snacks with my own hands, planning to give him a surprise.
She hid in the bushes and saw Huang Chenling really appear not far away. She nervously arranged her clothes and then rushed out. Unexpectedly, she bumped into a "hard object".
This "hard object" was not Yan Rongyan. He happened to patrol here and was walking when he was suddenly hit by a "soft object".
It's like a little white rabbit hitting a boulder without eyes.
Yan Ruozhen's nose hit his hard armor, which hurt her, and tears squeezed out of her eyes.
"It is forbidden to run around in the palace. Where are you from?" Yan Rongyan reacted slowly and did not recognize Yan Ruocheng.
She rubbed her nose, looked up at him, and said helplessly: "General Yan, you are so strong. My nose almost got crooked when it hit me."
"It's you, why did you run out here? Are you okay?" Yan Rongyan said with a chuckle.
"It's okay, I didn't pay attention to the collision. Ah, where are my snacks?" The snacks were scattered in the food box due to the impact just now.
Yan Rongyan also followed her and took a look at the food box in her hand. The snacks inside looked quite exquisite, which aroused his appetite. He couldn't help but said: "This snack seems to be delicious. Did you make it?"
"Yes, General Yan, are you interested in trying it?" Yan Ruocheng hospitably took out one and gave it to him, showing a sweet smile.
She was still unaware that Huang Chenling, who was not far away, was staring at her and Yan Rongyan's actions.
"Stinky girl, I only saved you once and I gave you snacks. I saved you dozens of times and you didn't give me anything." He felt inexplicably angry when he saw it, shook his sleeves, and strode away.
Yan Ruozhen and Yan Rongyan spent some time, and when they went to look for Huang Chenling, he was gone.
"You walked over so quickly, where did you go?" She walked along the road, but still couldn't find Huang Chenling, so she had to go back to the Royal Pharmacy in frustration, planning to share the snacks with others.
"You went there to be lazy! You were fooling around during working hours. It seems that you are going to tell the emperor and he will deduct a deduction from your monthly payment." Huang Chenling came to her medicine shop without knowing when. She was still sitting at attention.
Drinking tea.
Yan Ruocheng: "..."
Should she tell him that she came back so late just to look for him around? It's better not to tell him, lest he say she's a nymphomaniac again.
"Second Prince, do you want some snacks? I went to get some snacks just now, so I'm not here." Yan Ruocheng just found a reason to say.
When Huang Chenling thought that she would give it to Yan Rongyan to taste first, and then let him eat the rest, she instantly became angry.
"Eat whatever you want! I'm here to make some ointment. You can make a hundred bottles of Qianshan Xuefang ointment for me. All the ingredients must be used, and nothing less will do."
He deliberately made things difficult and ordered her to make Qianshan Xuefang ointment, which was the most difficult thing to make. It took several hours to boil the ointment, and she couldn't complete it without even one ingredient.
Yan Ruozhen could tell that he was here to cause trouble, and she also witnessed that he really cared about her thank you.
"Second Prince, are you free tomorrow? I want to ask you to go boating on the lake, and I want to thank you for saving your life last time." She said it directly in one breath.
"Tomorrow... I will have time." Huang Chenling hesitated and said indirectly.
Yan Ruocheng thought he had agreed, took out a snack from the food box, handed it to him, and said coaxingly: "Actually, I made these snacks specially for the second prince. I was afraid you wouldn't like it, so I didn't dare to say anything just now.
.”
"It's for me, don't lie." He saw her hand it to Yan Rongyan with his own eyes. When she said this, he reached out and pinched her face angrily.
"Hey, hey...why is the second prince pinching the villain?" She couldn't understand why he didn't believe it.
"You should be punished if you lie!"
"I'm not lying, I really made this for you. I know that you don't like to eat too sweet food, and you also like to eat fillings with floral aroma, so I deliberately picked gardenia flowers to make it. You try it.
Just taste it and pinch it again."
As she spoke, she put a gardenia cake in front of his mouth. Huang Chenling saw that the cake looked good, so she took a small bite to taste it.
It melts in your mouth. The floral fragrance is light but not sweet, with a slight sweetness. This is indeed his favorite taste.
His eyes flickered and he asked directly: "Then you give it to Deputy General Yan to eat."
"Scared? You saw it, no, no, the villain was hit by him, and he saw the snack. You can't help but give him a taste. You don't know etiquette."
Yan Ruocheng snickered inwardly. It turned out that he cared that Yan Rongyan ate before him. How could he be so cute?
"In the future, if you give snacks to others, don't give them to me."
"Yes, please remember this, little one."
"Tomorrow morning at midnight, go to the north gate and wait for my carriage. No publicity is allowed."
"Well, the villain knows."
"Remember to bring all your monthly money."
"scare?"
"Why are you scared? If you invite me to go on a lake tour, of course you will pay all the expenses. Don't even think about treating me badly!"
"...."
In the early morning of the next day, the weather was exceptionally clear. Yan Ruocheng stood on time and waited not far from the north gate. She lowered her head and took out the purse containing the most silver. This was the hard-earned money she had accumulated through frugality.
.
In order to accompany Huang Chenling to go boating on the lake, she was really heartbroken that she wasted all her hard-earned money.
Soon, Huang Chenling's carriage arrived, and she got on the carriage. His dress today was very different from usual. He usually wore a satin robe that matched his temperament, but now he wore a simple and elegant scholar's uniform. Others thought they didn't know it.
He is just a scholar.
"Have you seen enough? Sit down." As soon as Huang Chenling saw her coming in, she stared at him intently, guessing what she was thinking.
"No matter what clothes he wears, the second prince is always a handsome young man with good temperament." Yan Ruocheng didn't think it looked bad, he just thought it was novel, so he took a few more glances.
"If you don't flatter me, will your mouth stink?"
"I mean it from the bottom of my heart, not flattery."
The busy market in the morning was particularly crowded. The carriage stopped not far from the lake. They got off the carriage and came out, and people came and went.
Huang Chenling did not bring any guards. He asked the only groom to wait in the carriage and left with Yan Ruocheng.
The two walked in tandem. Huang Chenling was in front, and Yan Ruocheng followed naturally. At first glance, she seemed to be his maid.
"Why are you walking so slowly?" Huang Chenling suddenly turned around and asked her.
Yan Ruozhen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't mind walking side by side with her.
"..." She obediently walked two steps faster and walked side by side with him.
Huang Chenling walked to a stall where she bought embroidered sachets and admired all kinds of folk embroidery.
"This young master has an extraordinary temperament, is gentle and elegant, is as beautiful as a crown jade, and has picturesque features. He is as beautiful as a jade-like flower, and no one can match him when he walks on the street. Any one of these embroidered sachets is a perfect match for the young master." Shop
The head boss lady talks a lot in order to attract business.
After Yan Ruocheng listened, he raised his forehead and said secretly: "This is the real master of flattery among the people."
Huang Chenling ignored the landlady's compliments and fell in love with an embroidered sachet, embroidered with epiphyllum flowers.
"That's it, give me the money."
He took it and left. Yan Ruocheng hurriedly gave the money without even telling the price. The landlady took the opportunity to strike a deal.
Then, the two came to the lake, where the ripples were light and the clear water was clear. The lake was filled with clear waves and the water was sparkling, like a green mirror.
Yan Ruocheng went over to find the boatman who rented the boat, negotiated the price, and planned to rent it for an hour.
After a while, the crowd's voice came from not far away from the lake: "Someone fell into the lake! What should I do? Who knows the nature of water? Go and save people!"
She looked towards the lake and saw that a girl had really fallen into the lake and was struggling desperately. She was obviously not familiar with water and was drowning.
She asked the boatman to row over, but the boatman didn't want to cause trouble and refused to save her.
what to do?
She didn't know the nature of water. When she looked at Huang Chenling, he had already jumped into the lake and swam towards the girl. He quickly put his arms around the girl and successfully rescued her ashore.
