Chapter 157: Monster? Can't afford to mess with it
Qiao Ling heard Zhuo Ye's question and handed over the thing in her hand: "It's an invitation sent by Miss Lian Qin."
"Oh?" Zhuo Ye reached out to take it, looked at it, and then said, "We'll get ready in a moment. We'll go to Lian Mansion after breakfast."
"Girl..." Qiao Ling glanced at Zhuo Ye's dark circles and suggested, "You're not in a good state today. Why don't you take a good rest for a day? I'll send someone back to Miss Lian Qin first and go back tomorrow, okay?"
"No, I haven't seen her for a long time. I want to go see her." Zhuo Ye said insistently.
Qiao Ling shook her head helplessly and turned around to prepare hot water and breakfast.
After dinner, he packed up, informed Butler Mu, and Zhuo Ye took Qiao Ling and the Zheng brothers to Lian Mansion.
Lian Mansion, in Lian Qin's boudoir.
"Are you okay? I haven't seen you for more than a month, why are you so wilted? Look at your listless look." Lian Qin said, reaching out and pinching Zhuo Ye's cheek, oh! It's so slippery! "It seems like it's still there.
A little thinner."
Zhuo Ye waved his hand and patted away Lian Qin's claws that were reluctant to let go. He said feebly, "It's okay. Maybe I'm a little tired from running around a few days ago."
"I said, you are really powerful! You actually invited the medical sage Gou Qi! That old man is notoriously difficult to deal with. How did you do it?" Lian Qin picked up an apple and "clicked"
He took a big bite and chewed happily while looking at Zhuo Ye with bright eyes.
"Huh? Oh..." Zhuo Ye looked at Lian Qin blankly for a long time before his mind realized her question and replied: "It's just luck. An ancestral medicine in my family happened to be unknown to Senior Gou.
After comparing the potency of the medicine, I was lucky enough to win, so he came."
"Oh..." Lian Qin was not interested in medicine or medical skills and did not ask further questions. He swallowed the apple in his mouth and asked again: "How is King Jin's health? The emperor and the cold-faced King Duan gave an order not to do so.
Others went to visit because they were afraid of disturbing King Jin's cultivation, but it seems that you are not subject to this ban?" Lian Qin said and winked at Zhuo Ye.
Zhuo Ye pretended not to notice Lian Qin's winking look and replied sternly: "My life is safe. In less than a month, the remaining poison will be eliminated. After a period of recuperation, I will fully recover."
"Oh? It turns out that Prince Jin was really poisoned!" Lian Qin's face suddenly became serious.
"What? You didn't know?" Zhuo Ye was stunned.
On the day Feng Linge sacrificed his life to save her for the second time, Feng Linche told her frankly that Feng Linge had been poisoned, and judging from the expressions of the ministers, they didn't seem surprised by Feng Linge's physical condition.
I thought it was common knowledge that Feng Linge was poisoned...
"Those in the court only know that more than five years ago, Prince Jin and the Emperor, who was still Prince Yu at the time, traveled incognito. Someone plotted against them on the way. Prince Jin blocked the Emperor's sword and almost died. Since then, he has been in poor health.
..." Lian Qin paused and then said: "On the 'opening day', I saw that the blood he vomited was very strange in color, and I had doubts in my heart. It turned out that he was really poisoned... However, I had never heard of it.
There is poison on that sword!"
"I think, Your Majesty, the prince must have his own reasons for hiding it from the ministers. Fortunately, Linge is no longer in serious trouble." Zhuo Ye said calmly.
Lian Qin nodded and put the bitten apple on the table. Then she looked at Zhuo Ye with a rare serious expression on her face: "Are we good sisters?"
"Of course." Zhuo Ye smiled and said, "Why do you ask that?"
"Then tell me the truth, have you encountered any problems?" Zhuo Ye was listless and absent-minded today. He had already been distracted several times in just a while! She was sure that she must have something on her mind!
"I..." Zhuo Ye turned the teacup in his hand uncomfortably: "Actually, it's nothing..."
Lian Qin raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What? It's hard to say it? Then let me guess?"
Zhuo Ye chuckled lightly, looked at Lian Qin and said, "Okay, take a guess."
"Have those two... expressed their feelings to you?" Lian Qin narrowed her eyes and smiled evilly.
"What, what are those two!" Zhuo Ye pretended not to understand.
"Stop pretending! You don't understand? They are King Jin and King Rui!" After Lian Qin said this, he suddenly exclaimed: "Is it possible that there is still an emperor?!"
"Shh! Shout down!" Zhuo Ye covered Lian Qin's mouth. Yin'er and Qiao Ling were in the small hall outside!
Lian Qin reached out and pulled Zhuo Ye's paw off her mouth, stared and asked, "Are you really not convinced by what I said?"
Zhuo Ye rolled his eyes at Lian Qin angrily: "Those two princes are enough for me. If the emperor is really included, I'll just kill him with a piece of tofu!"
"Oh~~~" Lian Qin made a long note clearly and asked in an ambiguous tone: "Are they really those two? Then... which one do you like?"
"I can't bear any of it..." Zhuo Ye sighed.
"What do you say? Men should get married, and women should get married! What are you afraid of? Whichever one you like, just jump on it!"
Pounce on me?! The corners of Zhuo Ye's mouth twitched, oh! This girl is really not so bold when speaking! She really doubts which of the two is the time traveler...
Without waiting for Zhuo Ye to speak, Lian Qin said to herself: "Actually, I think King Jin is quite good. He is gentle, considerate and talented, and he is a good match for you. That King Rui! He is always cold and calm.
His face seems like someone owes him eight hundred dollars, but it can be seen that he is quite good to you. Xuan'er is also very cute. You and that little guy have hit it off again. It seems good to marry him and become a ready-made mother...
..." After a pause, he said with a smile: "Actually, you can also consider my evil brother. Although he is a bit of a troublemaker, I can guarantee that if he marries you, he will definitely soak you in honey.
In a jar! How about it? Why don’t you just be my sister-in-law?”
Zhuo Ye was speechless and raised his forehead: "You, what are you talking about! I'm already annoyed enough, and you still make trouble for me! I can't afford to offend a romantic like your brother, and you still show off to me..."
"Oh!" Lian Qin frowned anxiously: "Just tell me directly, which one do you like? What are you worried about?"
"Alas..." Zhuo Ye raised his head, looked at the window lattice with distant eyes, and sighed: "Lian Qin, a large part of the reason why you and I are so close to each other is because we have similar thoughts! As a woman,
You are bold and uninhibited, and you are as good as a man in both literary and military skills. Although I am not as free and unrestrained as you, I am not willing to guard a small piece of world within the high wall and live dependent on men, hoping to miss you.
Just to get a little favor from that man... This kind of life makes me sad when I think about it..." After a pause, he added: "And... that high wall is still a high wall belonging to the royal family..."
"Alas..." Lian Qin sighed after hearing this: "I understand..."
"I have met the eldest young master and the young master." In the small hall, Yin'er's greetings suddenly came from the small hall.
