Ever since we started cooking together that day, Lin Yongye came to look for Ji Linglan every now and then, sometimes by himself, sometimes with Lin Xianer.Although he still doesn't talk much, every time Ji Linglan asks a question, he always responds.

"Cousin, this is a cosmetic made for my cousin. Since you're here, I'll hide and take it back for my cousin when he leaves."

Ji Linglan pushed the cosmetics on the table towards Lin Yongye.

Lin Yongye nodded and said, "What about mine?"

Ji Linglan was startled, and then said: "By the way, I almost forgot, cousin, wait a moment, I'll get it right away."

Lin Yongye frowned slightly, and responded lightly.

Ji Linglan returned to the bedroom, closed the door, went directly into the dissection room, took the prepared perfume from the locker, then returned to the bedroom and walked to the front hall.

"Cousin, I picked this for you. You can smell it and choose whichever smell you like."

Lin Yongye heard that the displeasure in his heart dissipated, picked up the perfume on the table, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, but he didn't smell anything, he looked at Ji Linglan in confusion.

Ji Linglan smiled and said, "Cousin, you didn't open the lid, how could you smell it?"

Ji Linglan took the perfume from Lin Yongye's hand, held his wrist, and pressed the nozzle, with a 'beep' sound, the perfume sprayed on his wrist, and a burst of fragrance came out immediately.

Ji Linglan held Lin Yongye's wrist, approaching the tip of his nose, and said, "Cousin, smell it, it smells refreshing."

Lin Yongye looked at the wrist being held, the warm and dry touch was very comfortable, and the refreshing smell at the tip of his nose seemed to be a little different because of this natural touch.

But soon, Ji Linglan let go of his hand. Seeing him in a daze, he couldn't help asking strangely: "Cousin, do you like this smell?"

"It's okay, let's smell the others."

Ji Linglan nodded, changed to the other two bottles, and sprayed them on Lin Yongye's hands respectively, but did not have any physical contact with him again.

Lin Yongye felt a little lost, the three flavors were refreshing, elegant and fragrant.He looked up at Ji Linglan and said, "Which one does Ah Lan like?"

Ji Linglan replied casually: "The first one is my favorite flavor."

Ji Linglan is very sensitive to scents. He often finds smells that are pungent to others, but he will 100% like the scents that others find pungent.In severe cases, dizziness, nausea, and motion sickness are the same.

Lin Yongye picked up the first bottle when he heard the words, and said, "Let's have it."

Ji Linglan didn't care, and put away the remaining two bottles.

"My mother has been acting abnormal these past two days. I've been paying more attention to safety recently."

Lin Yongye's sudden words made Ji Linglan startled, and then asked, "How is Auntie?"

Lin Yongye said lightly: "Same as before, coughing every day."

"My aunt's illness seems to come on quickly and urgently, what is the cause?" Ji Linglan asked with doubts in her heart.

Lin Yongye's eyes darkened, and he said honestly: "The imperial doctor can't find out the cause."

Ji Linglan nodded, and said, "Then what unusual behavior did my aunt do recently?"

Although Ji Linglan felt stupid for asking Lin Yongye, but he still asked.Seeing the obvious struggle on Lin Yongye's face, Ji Linglan said with a smile: "Don't be embarrassed, cousin, just pretend that I never asked the question just now."

Lin Yongye heard the struggle in his eyes even worse, and said: "When I was taking care of my mother last night, I saw a man in black enter my mother's room.

"

Ji Linglan looked at Lin Yongye in shock, he didn't expect that Lin Yongye would actually answer.He quickly came back to his senses, and said apologetically: "Cousin, can you remind me that you have done your best for me, but I put you in a difficult position. It's my fault, sorry."

Lin Yongye didn't speak, just looked at Ji Linglan seriously, and said after a while: "Why are you so kind to me?"

Ji Linglan was taken aback by the question, and replied with a smile: "You and I are cousins, shouldn't we have a good relationship?"

"Cousin brother?" Lin Yongye lowered his head and said lightly: "I have been weak and sick since I was a child. Xian'er is still kind to me."

Ji Linglan defended Lin Fengshu and said: "Cousin, it's not that he doesn't care about you, but he just doesn't know how to express it. He talked about you with me a few days ago, and he asked me to have more time to communicate with you. Slowly change your withdrawn temperament."

"So you are kind to me because of your father's entrustment?" Lin Yongye stared at Ji Linglan closely.

Ji Linglan frowned slightly from being stared at, always felt that the answer to this question was not good, and the previous efforts would be in vain. He thought about it for a while, and said: "Not all, a large part of the reason is that my cousin deserves my kindness to you."

Lin Yongye's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's worth it? How should I say it?"

Ji Linglan patiently explained: "My cousin can disobey my aunt's order and save my life, which is enough to show that my cousin can tell right from wrong. Isn't it worth saving my life?"

A look of disappointment appeared in Lin Yongye's eyes, he stood up and said, "Let's stop here for today, I'll go back first."

Lin Yongye's sudden change of face made Ji Linglan a little puzzled, and said: "Cousin, but what did I do wrong? If there is, cousin should be more tolerant. I sincerely regard my cousin as a relative. Tinger is no different."

What Ji Linglan said was from her heart, perhaps because Lin Yongye's experience was somewhat similar to that of Fu Nanling, Ji Linglan would always involuntarily care about him.

Lin Yongye looked at Ji Linglan silently for a while, and said, "It's almost noon, I want to eat steamed shrimp dumplings."

Ji Linglan was startled, and then said with a smile: "If my cousin wants to eat my cooking, just tell me. Your appearance just now really scared me."

Seeing this, Lin Yongye calmed down and said, "You teach me how to do it."

"Success. But we still need to wash our hands first. If the smell of this perfume is brought in, it will be bad."

Li Youran fetched water and waited for the two to clean their hands, and then the two went to the imperial dining room to pick out fresh ingredients.Looking at the mutton in front of him, Ji Linglan suddenly wanted to eat hot pot, so he asked the chef in the imperial dining room to slice the best mutton into thin slices. In fact, Ji Linglan didn't like to eat mutton very much, but the cows in this era are all farming. Cattle are not allowed to be slaughtered, so they can only make do with mutton.

Looking at the shaved mutton, it was really as thin as a cicada's wings, and Ji Linglan deeply understood why people can be imperial cooks.Ji Linglan and Lin Yongye were walking back with the ingredients, and when they passed by the Imperial Garden, they happened to meet the Crown Prince's concubine Wang sitting in the pavilion admiring the flowers.

In Linguo, the rank of the county king is from the first rank, which is the same as that of the crown princess. To put it bluntly, the crown prince's side concubine is just a concubine, and her rank is only fourth rank. Speaking of which, she should come to salute Ji Linglan. But the Wang family turned a blind eye.Ji Linglan didn't want to make trouble, and pretended not to see it, but Lin Yongye frowned slightly at Wang.

"There are some people here, even if they are poor, even if they are given a mountain of gold, they will not be able to become a master."

Wang's harsh voice was heard in a moderate manner. Although there was no name or surname, the people in the palace knew who she was talking about, let alone Ji Linglan and Linyongye.

Ji Linglan was amused for a while, he really didn't understand how this Wang's head grew, if anyone in this palace is the most pleasing to Lin Tianyao, it must be him, Wang is a small The side concubine dared to slander her, she was courting death.

Ji Linglan really had no intention of paying attention to this mental retardation.

But Li Youran next to him couldn't hold his breath anymore, and shouted: "Presumptuous! The county king and the prince are here, why don't you come to see me?"

Wang's complexion changed, and after dawdling for a while, she still got up, and with the help of her maid, she walked up to Ji Linglan and Linyongye, blessed her body very perfunctorily, and said with a proud smile: "Concubine see Prince, please refer to the king of the county. The concubine is pregnant with the little prince and is very heavy. If there is something that is not proper, please forgive me."

Suddenly, Ji Linglan understood why the Wang family was so confident.He looked at Lin Yongye and asked suspiciously: "Cousin, who is this woman, do you know her?"

Lin Yongye glanced at Wang Shi indifferently, and said: "Don't worry about people who don't matter."

The smug expression on Wang's face froze in an instant, there is nothing like you talking here and there, and people don't remember who you are at all, which is even more hurtful.Coupled with Lin Yongye's make-up knife, Wang's complexion became extremely ugly, and said: "The king of the county is really a nobleman who forgets a lot, and the concubine is the prince's side concubine. The concubine also participated in the banquet a while ago."

"The prince's side concubine?" Ji Linglan turned to look at Lin Yongye, and said, "Cousin, I don't know exactly what level this side concubine is when I first came to the country, and how is it different from the concubine's room in Xiaomen Xiaohu's family ?”

A smile flashed in Lin Yongye's eyes when he heard the words, and said, "There is no difference."

Ji Linglan was stunned, and said: "I feel relieved when my cousin said that. Seeing that she is so defiant, I almost thought that the emperor's grandfather making me the king of the county is not as good as a concubine."

"You...you!" Wang looked at the two with a livid face, trembling with anger. What she hated most in her life was hearing the word 'concubine'.

Seeing this, Ji Linglan hurriedly pulled Lin Yongye back, and said: "Cousin, we'd better stay away, look at her shaking, maybe she has rabies, in case she gets sick later, If it bites us, then we are not in bad luck."

Wang Shi was gasping for breath, pointing at Ji Linglan for a long while speechless.

Ji Linglan didn't bother to talk to her, turned her head to look at Lin Yongye, and said, "Cousin, let's go, it's almost noon now."

Lin Yongye responded with a little smile in his eyes.The two didn't say any more, turned and left.

Wang Shi stood where she was, looking at the backs of the two men and gritted her teeth with hatred.

Ji Linglan didn't take this matter to heart at all, and returned to Yaohua Palace, and concentrated on making the hot pot soup base, the chicken soup stewed by the old hen. After boiling for an hour, the aroma was overflowing.Then Ji Linglan, with the help of Lin Yongye, started to prepare the dishes.When the preparations were almost done, people invited Princess Yaohua and Ji Mingqiu. Of course, the greedy cat Ji Pingting was indispensable.Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone was seated, Lin Tianyao came, followed by Lin Fengshu.

Seeing that the staff was overloaded, Ji Linglan quickly ordered Li Youran to go to the imperial dining room to get ingredients, while they all sat down and ate first.

"Grandfather and uncle, this is the base material I prepared for you. If you eat spicy food, you can cook it in this spicy pot; if you don't eat spicy food, you can cook it in this clear soup pot." Talking and demonstrating how to eat.

The smell of meat came into their noses, and everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Ji Pingting looked eagerly at the mutton boiling in the pot, and said, "Brother, when can I eat this meat?"

"You really look like a greedy cat now." Ji Linglan shook her head amusedly, and said, "This piece of meat is very thin, and it can be eaten after a while. It's almost ready now, let's all eat it."

Lin Tianyao took the lead to pick up a piece of mutton with chopsticks, followed Ji Linglan's example and dipped the meat into the seasoning bowl, then put it in his mouth and tasted it, and finally, in the eyes of everyone expecting, he praised: " Delicious! Ah Lan, what is this dish called?"

Ji Linglan smiled and said: "Grandfather Huihuang, this is a kind of hot pot, called Yuanyang pot. All the dishes here can be boiled in it. After cooking, they can be eaten with seasonings. It is easy and effortless to prepare. The main thing is delicious."

Lin Fengshu also picked up a piece of mutton, tasted it as usual, then gave a thumbs up, and said: "Ah Lan's craftsmanship is really outstanding, it's because Father has the foresight, otherwise, wouldn't it be a delicacy missed."

Lin Tianyao said slightly dissatisfied: "Ah Lan didn't think about me this time."

Ji Linglan hurriedly begged for mercy: "This is the first time I did it, and I was afraid that there would be something unsatisfactory, so I didn't send it to the emperor's grandfather's bedroom. The emperor's grandfather has a lot of adults, and he will definitely not care about Alan."

"Forget it this time, next time there will be new dishes, don't forget me."

"Yes, yes, Ah Lan obeyed."

"It's so spicy!" Taking advantage of no one's attention, Ji Pingting took a mouthful of the meat in the spicy pot, sticking out her tongue so hot that she even burst into tears.

Princess Yaohua laughed and said: "You deserve it for letting you steal it!"

Ji Linglan quickly poured her a cup of tea and said: "If you can't eat spicy food, don't eat the dishes in the spicy pot. And the emperor's grandfather and cousin, you are not in good health, you can't eat the dishes in it."

Ji Pingting gulped down a glass of water, looked at Ji Linglan with sparkling eyes, and said, "Brother, the meat in this spicy pot is too delicious, I can do it, I'm fine, I'm in good health , I want to eat spicy pot!"

Ji Linglan looked amused for a while, and said: "If you can eat it, then eat it. But you can't eat too much, so as not to get angry."

Hearing what Ji Pingting said, Lin Fengshu couldn't help but tasted a piece of mutton in the spicy pot, and couldn't help agreeing: "Ting'er is right, the meat in the spicy pot is more fragrant and tastes better. better."

So, except for Lin Tianyao and Lin Yongye, everyone else ate the hot pot, even though they drank water like crazy, they still enjoyed it.

Lin Tianyao wanted to taste the hot pot while others were not paying attention, but was caught by Ji Linglan on the spot, so he could only eat the clear soup pot with Lin Yongye resentfully, which made their grandparents and grandchildren feel sympathetic.

The meal was very enjoyable. After the meal, Princess Yaohua ordered someone to make tea. Ji Linglan thought about it and said, "Grandfather, Father, Mother, I will go to the kitchen and make some milk tea for you."

"Milk tea? What's that?" Ji Pingting's eyes lit up again.

"It's a drink, just wait, I'll cook it."

Lin Yongye took the initiative to stand up and said, "I will accompany you."

Ji Pingting also volunteered, saying, "I'll go too!"

Without waiting for Ji Linglan to speak, Baogui walked in suddenly, bowed and said, "Report to the emperor, the East Palace has come to report that the crown prince's side concubine had a sudden miscarriage."

Lin Tianyao looked at Lin Fengshu and said, "The side concubine is pregnant, do you know?"

Lin Fengshu nodded and said: "Going back to Emperor Father, I only found out today."

Lin Tianyao waved his hand and said, "Go back and have a look."

"Yes, my son is resigning." Lin Fengshu withdrew from the door and hurried out of Yaohua Palace.

Ji Linglan and Linyongye glanced at each other, looked at Bao Bao and said, "Precious, is the side concubine who had a miscarriage surnamed Wang?"

Bao Bao answered truthfully: "His Royal Highness, it is the side concubine Wang."

Seeing this, Lin Tianyao asked aloud, "Why did Ah Lan ask such a question?"

Ji Linglan smiled bitterly and said: "Today, my cousin and I went to the imperial dining room to get ingredients. On the way back, we ran into Concubine Wang and had a quarrel with her. It took a while before something happened to her. We Afraid……"

Although Ji Linglan didn't finish what he said, everyone here is smart and naturally understood what he meant.

Lin Tianyao's expression darkened when he heard this, and he said, "Yao'er, you go there on my behalf and see what's going on."

Princess Yaohua replied: "Yes, father, my son obeys."

Lin Tianyao said quietly: "Tomorrow is the ninth day of October, which is also the day when Mr. Fu Guoxin ascended the throne. In a short while, Taifu Gao will also be back."

When Ji Linglan heard Fu Nanling's name, her heart couldn't help trembling, she thought to herself; "I don't know if that letter will be delivered today?"

Lin Tianyao paused and said, "Alan, you can go with your mother too."

Ji Linglan came back to her senses, and said in response: "Yes, Grandfather."

Led by Princess Yaohua, Ji Linglan, Lin Yongye and Ji Pingting headed towards the East Palace.

"Mother, if my predictions are correct, the matter of the concubine Wang will definitely be blamed on me, but I don't know where they will start."

Princess Yaohua turned her head to look at Lin Yongye, and said: "Yong Ye, when you return to the East Palace later, you can return to your own courtyard."

Ji Linglan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, and said: "Mother is right, cousin goes directly to his yard."

Lin Yongye looked at Princess Yaohua and Ji Linglan, and said, "I was also there just now."

"This matter has nothing to do with you, cousin, so don't get involved."

They all knew in their hearts that this matter must not be that simple, most of it was aimed at Ji Linglan, and the person behind the scenes was most likely the Crown Princess Gao Zhenzhen.That's why Princess Yaohua and Ji Linglan said that in order not to embarrass Lin Yongye.

"Aunt Huang, I am of the blood of the royal family, and I also have the responsibility to maintain the dignity of the royal family."

Princess Yaohua and Ji Linglan were taken aback at the same time, Lin Yongye was expressing his opinion to them, he chose to stand by their side.

Princess Yaohua sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Aunt Huang knows you are a good boy, so you can do whatever you want. But if you feel forced, it doesn't matter if you avoid it."

"Thank you, Aunt Huang, for your understanding."

A group of people went straight into the East Palace, Lin Fengshu greeted them after hearing the report.

"Feng Yao, you are here."

"Brother Huang, my father asked me to come to see what's going on."

Lin Fengshu waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's just that she accidentally ate something she shouldn't have, and she just had a miscarriage."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the concubine's child is gone. It's your own flesh and blood. How can you say it so lightly?" Mrs. Wang staggered out, her hair disheveled, her clothes disheveled, and her face pale.

Seeing this, Lin Fengshu turned pale with anger, and said angrily: "Mr. Wang, you ran out with disheveled clothes, because you think you are not shameful enough? Why are you still standing there, why don't you quickly drag your master in!"

Seeing that Lin Fengshu was angry, the maid beside Wang quickly responded and stretched out her hand to help Wang, but she was slapped severely by Wang, and said: "Baby maid, this concubine is also something you can touch?"

Lin Fengshu shouted coldly: "Mr. Wang, if you don't want to be deposed, you'd better recognize your identity!"

"Recognize your identity?" Wang's tears flowed down, and she said sadly: "Your Highness, my child is gone, and I can no longer have children in the future. What is the difference between now and being deposed?"

Heartache flashed in Lin Fengshu's eyes, and he said: "You still have Li'er, even if you can't have any more children, it doesn't matter, I will treat you well."

Wang was shaken for a moment, but soon became excited again, and said: "Your Highness, I am not reconciled, my child can't just disappear like this. It's the Crown Princess, she must have killed my child, or There is a son, and the son is an accomplice. They are afraid that my child will come to the world and steal his son's seat."

Ji Linglan was taken aback, and turned to look at Lin Yongye. He didn't expect that Wang's target was actually him, but he soon realized that Wang's children were indeed a greater threat to the Crown Princess, and even more so. for direct.

Lin Fengshu glanced at Lin Yongye, then at Wang Shi, and said, "Do you have evidence?"

"Yes, I have evidence." Wang said excitedly: "I took the bowl of blood swallow from the Crown Princess, she must have poisoned it and murdered my child."

Lin Fengshu frowned, and said: "Since the Xueyan belongs to the Crown Princess, why did you ask me to take it away?"

Wang was taken aback for a moment, her excitement was replaced by guilt, and said: "I...was rewarded by the crown princess."

"Lie!" Gao Zhenzhen's voice suddenly sounded from behind, and everyone turned around to look, only to see Gao Zhenzhen walking tremblingly with Lin Xian'er's support.

When he saw Gao Zhenzhen, Ji Linglan couldn't help being startled, he never expected that in just one month, the plump figure with a rosy face would become haggard and dying.

Lin Yongye walked over and called out respectfully: "Mother Concubine."

Gao Zhenzhen glanced at him indifferently, walked over him to Linfengshu.

"The concubine sees Your Highness."

Seeing that Gao Zhenzhen saluted reluctantly, Lin Fengshu waved his hand and said: "You are not in good health, there is no need to salute."

"Crown Princess, it was you, you killed my child, you vicious woman with a vicious heart! You accompany my child, you accompany my child!" The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, and Wang turned towards Gao Zhenzhen regardless. rushed over.

Seeing this, Lin Xian'er raised her foot and kicked over, kicked Wang Shi to the ground, and said in a cold voice: "Presumptuous! A small concubine dares to disrespect my mother and concubine."

Lin Li'er, who hadn't said a word, hurried over and shouted nervously: "Mother, how are you?"

Wang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, then foamed at the mouth and convulsed.

Everyone was stunned, Ji Linglan was the first to come back to her senses, and walked towards Wang Shi, but it was too late, when he came close, Wang Shi had stopped convulsing, Ji Linglan squatted down, and touched her body He took a breath, felt his pulse again, stood up and said, "Uncle, the side concubine is dead."

"How is it possible, impossible!" Lin Li'er looked at Lin Ya in fear, and said, "Doctor Lin, save my mother!"

Lin Ya walked over quickly, and after some inspections, she got up and said, "The side concubine Wang has gone, and I have nothing to do."

Lin Li'er hugged Wang and broke down crying, saying: "Mother, you can't do anything, if you leave, what will Li'er do?"

Lin Fengshu regained consciousness, looked at Lin Ya, and asked, "How did Wang Fangfei die?"

Lin Ya bowed and replied: "His Royal Highness, the side concubine should have died of poison."

Lin Fengshu then asked: "Then do you know what kind of poison she has?"

"Forgive me, Your Highness, but I have not been able to discern what kind of poison it is."

"It was you, you guys killed my mother." Lin Li'er looked up at the Crown Princess and Lin Xian'er, and said, "Even if the mother is disrespectful to the Crown Princess, it is not a crime to die, you are so vicious, and now you are dead Two lives, you got your wish."

Lin Li'er put down Wang's body, climbed up to Lin Fengshu, cried and said: "Father, you have to make decisions for your mother and brother Wang, they died too unjustly!"

Lin Xian'er's expression also changed, and she said with a frown: "She was poisoned to death, even without my kick, she would have died too, Lin Li'er, don't spout blood!"

"My mother obviously drank the poison from the bowl of blood swallow, and the blood swallow was a gift from the crown princess, so the poison inside must have been given by the crown princess. Father, you must take care of your mother for the sake of serving you for many years. Avenge her!"

Lin Fengshu turned his head to look at Gao Zhenzhen, and said, "You have something to say."

Gao Zhenzhen looked at Linfeng Shu calmly, and said: "Your Highness, do you know that the bowl of blood swallows was originally made by the imperial dining room for the concubines. If it wasn't for the side concubine Wang who insisted on snatching it, drink the bowl of blood swallows and die." Those are concubines."

"Steal?" Lin Fengshu's brows frowned more and more tightly.

Gao Zhenzhen laughed at herself, and said: "Your Highness, don't make a fuss. The concubine fell out of favor. If there were not two children under her knees, I am afraid that the concubine would not be able to survive these days. The blood swallow was sent by the imperial dining room. The concubine Before I could move in the future, I was snatched away by the concubine Wang. The concubine has no ability to foretell. I don’t know that the concubine Wang will look for me today, and I don’t know that she will take away the bowl of blood swallow, and why she wants to drink it in the blood swallow. Poison. It is clear that someone wanted to poison the concubine, and the side concubine just happened to prevent the concubine from suffering."
