After the lunch break, Ji Linglan got up to practice, while Fu Nanling sat and watched. In short, he didn't want Ji Linglan to leave his sight for a moment.

Gauss hurried in from the outside, came to the front, bowed and said: "My subordinates see the prince."

Fu Nanling frowned slightly, and said, "Why are you so flustered?"

Gauss took out a letter from his sleeve, offered it with both hands, and said, "My lord, this is a letter sent by Mr. Feng."

Fu Nanling took the letter, opened it, looked at it, and said: "Yes, the action of the two royal brothers is really fast. You send a letter to tell Mr. Feng to be safe and not to be impatient, and the king will ensure the safety of him and his family. "

"Yes, this subordinate is leaving." Gauss hurriedly left.

Fu Nanling looked at Xiao Lizi at the side, and ordered, "Go and tell Lu Jiu to ensure the safety of Mr. Feng and his family."

"Yes, the slave is going right away." Xiao Lizi also bowed and left immediately.

Ji Linglan saw everything in her eyes, stopped her movements, came to Fu Nanling, took the handkerchief he handed over, wiped the sweat from her face, and asked: "A Ling, what happened?"

Fu Nanling shook his head and said: "Alan, since you are leaving, it's better not to ask about these matters, I can handle it myself."

Ji Linglan frowned slightly, and said, "Ah Ling is afraid that I will leak the secret?"

Fu Nanling quickly explained: "No, I'm afraid that the more you know, the more dangerous you will be."

"I'm afraid you know everything you want to know about the relationship between us. If you want to harm me, you won't ask me what else I know. Tell me, what happened?"

"Alan, you're leaving tomorrow, we don't have much time left to be together, I don't want to waste time on these intrigues." The sadness in Fu Nanling's eyes flashed away, he pulled himself together and said : "Alan, I want to eat dumplings for dinner, let's make it together, okay?"

Ji Linglan asked with a serious expression: "You don't have to say anything specific, you just need to answer me, does this matter have a big impact on you?"

Fu Nanling hesitated, and when he was about to speak, he heard Ji Linglan say, "Tell the truth."

Fu Nanling nodded and said, "It does affect a little bit, but I can handle it."

"What kind of dumplings do you want to eat?"

The sudden change of topic made Fu Nanling stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "I want to eat stuffed stuffing."

"Success, I'll go right away after I wash up."

"Okay." Looking at Ji Linglan's back, Fu Nanling smiled helplessly.

After dinner, Fu Nanling took Ji Linglan to the Green Bamboo Garden and asked Xiao Li to take out a square box made of sandalwood engraved with dragon-shaped patterns, with a side length of about fifty centimeters.

Fu Nanling opened the box, and inside was a stack of silver bills, as well as a lot of gold and silver jewelry, all of which were men's, of course Ji Linglan's favorite jade jewelry was indispensable.

"Alan, here are 1 taels of gold tickets, as well as some hair crowns and jade pendants, which you need to wear in ordinary times. The clothes for the four seasons I made for you before have also been put on the carriage. I will send them to you tomorrow morning. They will prepare some more food for you, and you can leave. I have sent someone to pick up the little beggar you took care of. You can leave together tomorrow. You can go anywhere, but don’t go back to Beijing. "Fu Nanling kept looking at the things on the table, but he didn't dare to look into Ji Linglan's eyes.

Ji Linglan didn't speak, but just looked at Fu Nanling intently.

Fu Nanling took out a jade token from the box, stuffed it into Ji Linglan's hand, and said, "This is my identity token, you should keep it as a thought, and don't lose it. Also, your Pocket watch, don't give it away anymore, even... even if you meet a woman you admire in the future, don't give it to her, just take it as my last request."

Fu Nanling kept his head down when he spoke, Ji Linglan couldn't see the emotion in his eyes clearly, but saw the tears falling, and felt pain in his heart.

"A Ling, how much silver do you have?"

Fu Nanling was taken aback by the question, subconsciously raised his head to look at Ji Linglan, with crystal teardrops hanging on his thick eyelashes, and then replied: "Little Lizi has always been in charge of the warehouse, I don't know how many more Silver, if A Lan thinks it is not enough, I will ask him to get it."

"Apart from this palace, does A Ling have real estate or property in Beijing?"

Fu Nanling replied truthfully: "There are two other courtyards, two restaurants, three teahouses, one brothel, and another [-] mu of fertile land on the outskirts of Kyoto. My fief is in the middle of Zhejiang, and half of the taxes there will be paid. For me, there is also some salary every year."

"Prostitute" Ji Linglan raised her eyebrows, and said, "A Ling actually still does this kind of business."

Fu Nanling shook his head hastily, and explained: "No, I have never been in charge of that place, nor have I ever been to it. There has always been a special person to take care of it."

Ji Linglan put away the jade tablet, covered the sandalwood box, pointed to the chair by the table, and said, "Sit down, and I'll change the medicine for you."

Fu Nanling was confused by Ji Linglan's incoherent words, sat down on the chair obediently, and looked at him eagerly.Ji Linglan carefully unwrapped the gauze on Fu Nanling's fingers, carefully changed the medicine for him, and bandaged it again.

"It's getting late, let Xiao Lizi wash it for you, go to bed early."

Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan, trying to read his true thoughts from his calm expression, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.He said unwillingly, "Alan, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Ji Linglan didn't answer but instead asked, "A Ling, tell me the truth, this Wutong Garden is the courtyard where the princess lives?"

Fu Nanling's eyes flickered, and he said falteringly: "I don't plan to marry the princess, so..."

Ji Linglan's eyes flashed, and he said: "So you have premeditatedly let me live here, right?"

"I……"

Fu Nanling, who wanted to quibble, nodded honestly when he touched Ji Linglan's eyes, and said, "I planned it in advance. After I made up my mind, I got along with A Lan. Everything was planned in advance. I just want to do my best to make Alan fall in love with me too, but unfortunately I failed. Alan, in fact, I am also very contradictory. I know that I am doomed to have a short life. Before the end of my life, I should not have any relationship with anyone. Emotional entanglement, I understand that once the two are happy, the rest of their lives will be in pain. It's just... I don't want to miss it again."

If the two are destined to love each other, why can't they love each other well within a limited time, why do they have to selfishly make decisions for others in the name of being considerate of each other.Having missed it once, Fu Nanling really doesn't want to miss it again.

"When did you fall in love with me?" Ji Linglan was very curious. When they met, he was only 14 years old. It was obviously bean sprouts that hadn't bloomed yet. He didn't find it attractive, but would To be admired by a high and mighty prince.

"I don't know either. It's just that when I realized it, I was already stuck in it and couldn't extricate myself."

What Fu Nanling said was the truth, if he could discover his intentions in time in the previous life, it would not have caused such a tragedy, so that he would live in regret every day in the short remaining years.

"A Ling doesn't marry a wife, but because of me?"

"Yes, I don't want anyone except Ah Lan. Even if I disobey the imperial father's order, I will not hesitate." Fu Nanling said with conviction, which cannot be doubted.

"A Ling, have you ever thought about what will happen to me if others know your thoughts? No matter what the reason is, you are the emperor's favorite prince, and he will not do anything to you, but I am just an insignificant person. Little pawn, if you want to completely get rid of your thoughts, killing me directly is the best choice."

"That's why I want to fight for the throne. Only when I have the supreme right in my hand can I be with Ah Lan in an open and aboveboard manner."

"You are fighting for the throne for me?"

It has to be said that such a reason shocked Ji Linglan.

"Yes." Fu Nanling looked directly into Ji Linglan's eyes, letting him see the seriousness in his eyes.

In the previous life, Fu Nanling competed for the throne because of unwillingness in his heart. He was doted on since he was a child, but he was doomed to miss the throne, so even though the people around him were afraid of him on the surface, they despised him from the bottom of their hearts.Day after day, this kind of cognition cast a shadow over his mind, and he became paranoid and unscrupulous. In the end, he defeated Fu Nanping and sat on the throne, proving with facts that nothing is preordained.

"Your father is now the supreme emperor, and you still can't help yourself. Even though you know that Lin Guifei and the ninth prince were killed by Fu Nanping, you are still pretending to be deaf and dumb. Ah Ling, you think things too simply. What separates you and me is not only rights, but also the inherent thoughts of people that have been passed down through endless years."

"'My life is up to me', as long as Ah Lan and I are in love, no matter what the price is, even if the world is subverted, I will not hesitate."

Ji Linglan looked into Fu Nanling's eyes, and saw firmness and fiery emotion in those long and narrow phoenix eyes.What was in front of him was not the sick and weak boy, but a man who could support the sky.He had to admit that facing Fu Nanling like this, his heart trembled accordingly.

"I'm going to take a shower, Ah Ling needs to avoid it for a while."

Fu Nanling was taken aback for a moment, obviously not getting used to Ji Linglan's speed of changing the subject, and then said disappointedly: "Then...then I'm going back to the yard."

Ji Linglan responded and looked at Fu Nanling with a smile.Fu Nanling's head was still a little fuzzy, he didn't understand what Ji Linglan meant at all, and he left Ji Linglan's bedroom step by step.

Ji Linglan closed the door, took off her clothes, and took a hot bath comfortably.After changing his clothes, he came to the bed, opened the window and looked at the bright moon in the sky, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, turned around and returned to the bed, took a book, and leaned against the bedside to read for a while.

At around ten o'clock, Ji Linglan blew out the lights and lay down on the bed to wait.About half an hour later, there was a rustling sound from the window, Ji Linglan opened her eyes and looked over, and she saw a figure clumsily climbing the window, the posture was the same as three years ago.

"The majestic lord, how dare you learn from those young people and climb other people's windows, so you are not afraid of spreading the word, so you will be laughed at?"

Fu Nanling's body froze, he took out a package from behind, and said, "Alan, this is all my belongings, and I will give it to you. Can you also accept me by the way?"

"All the belongings?" Ji Linglan sat up and looked at Fu Nanling amusedly.

Fu Nanling nodded hastily, and said, "Yes, there are keys to the warehouse, all the deeds of the house, and the books of those shops. Everything is here."

"My lord is trying to bribe me?"

"It's not buying, it's selling myself." Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan and said pitifully, "I only have so much. It's up to Ah Lan to be pitiful. Buy me."

"My lord, I never said that there is a lack of people around me."

Hearing this, Fu Nanling put the package on the table, walked quickly to the bed, took off his shoes and lay down on the bed, saying: "I don't care, I have to buy it if I don't."

Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling, who was covering his head with a quilt beside him, tearing and laughing, and tugged with his hands, saying: "My lord, you seem to be buying and selling by force."

"Hmm." A muffled voice came from under the quilt.

Seeing this, Ji Linglan couldn't help chuckling, and said: "Such a naive, obviously a child who hasn't grown up, yet he also learns how to talk about love like others?"

Ji Linglan's laughter seemed to give Fu Nanling confidence, and it seemed to inspire him to urgently prove his courage. He poked his head out, hugged Ji Linglan's waist, looked at him with fiery eyes, and said : "Alan, I am a man, not a child!"

The heat of Fu Nanling's body made Ji Linglan startled, he subconsciously frowned, reached out and touched Fu Nanling's forehead, and said: "A Ling, you have a fever."

Helplessness flashed across Fu Nanling's eyes, and he lay powerlessly on Ji Linglan's body, and said, "Alan, I don't know how else to keep you, don't leave, okay?"

"You never thought of using your power to imprison me by your side?"

"No. If I really did what you said, I would only push you further and further away, so I wouldn't be so stupid."

"So you came soft with me, deliberately burned yourself, hired a fake imperial doctor, and joined Xiao Lizi and the others to sing such a bitter trick to me?" Ji Linglan's tone was so light that no one could hear the slightest emotion .

Fu Nanling's body froze, he hugged Ji Linglan's arm tightly, and said: "Alan, I was wrong, I was wrong, you can beat me, scold me, even kill me, don't mention leaving me again , I really can't stand it, I'm not faking my illness, really..."

"I should have told you that I hate those who don't care about their bodies the most."

"Alan, I was wrong, I won't dare next time, don't be angry!"

"If you do something wrong, you should be punished. From today, you will not be allowed to enter my yard again within half a month."

Fu Nanling was startled, then raised his head to look at Ji Linglan, and said, "Alan, do you mean not to leave?"

Ji Linglan asked without answering: "Do you accept this punishment?"

Fu Nanling was ecstatic, nodded hurriedly and said: "Shou Shou Shou, as long as Ah Lan doesn't leave, I will accept any kind of punishment."

A smile flashed across Ji Linglan's eyes, and said: "Then get out of my bed."

Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan anxiously, and said coquettishly: "Alan, it's already late today, can I..."

"No. Either accept the punishment, or I will leave tomorrow, you choose."

Although Fu Nanling acted to keep him, Ji Linglan still felt uncomfortable, especially since he hurt herself, so punishment was necessary, to prevent him from having a long memory, and he might do something in the future.

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go right away, don't be angry, Ah Lan."

Fu Nanling slowly got up from the bed, put on his shoes eagerly, looked at Ji Linglan pitifully, hoping that he would soften his heart and let him stay.It's a pity that Ji Linglan is determined to make him have a long memory, and it is impossible to soften his heart.

"My lord." Ji Linglan suddenly called out to Fu Nanling who was walking to the door.

Fu Nanling turned around happily and said, "Alan, you call me."

"I stayed here not to accept your feelings, so don't misunderstand."

Ji Linglan was indeed in love, but not to the point of deep-rooted love. The main reason why he stayed was because of Fu Nanling's illness.No matter what kind of feelings he has for Fu Nanling, Ji Linglan can't just sit back and watch him die at any time.

Fu Nanling was taken aback, but quickly adjusted his mentality and said, "Alan, we can be friends, relatives, whatever. As long as you are willing to stay, the rest is not important."

"Well. It's late at night, go back and rest early."

Ji Linglan breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, he was really not ready to accept a man's courtship.

"Alan also rest early."

Fu Nanling left the room briskly, and helped Ji Linglan close the door.

Ji Linglan took a deep breath and let it out heavily, feeling relieved.He turned his head to look at the package on the table, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, he closed his eyes, and fell asleep not long after.

Early the next morning, Ji Linglan got up as usual, washed up briefly, and then practiced in the yard.

"Morning, Alan."

Ji Linglan was startled, and followed the voice, only to see Fu Nanling lying on the wall.

Seeing him looking over, Fu Nanling said with a smile, "Alan, I didn't enter the courtyard, so it's not a breach of my promise."

Ji Linglan was amused for a while, and said: "Why, the prince still plans to stay on the wall for half a month?"

Fu Nanling said solemnly: "Alan, I couldn't sleep after I went back to my room yesterday, so I calculated carefully, half a month is the 180th day, twelve hours a day, 120 hours on the fifteenth day, one hour It’s 1 minutes, 60 minute is 120 seconds, [-] days is [-] seconds, if I can’t see Ah Lan for so long, I must be sick.”

Fu Nanling's serious words of love made Ji Linglan's face feel hot. He looked at Xiao Linzi who was waiting at the side, and saw that he was looking at the ground with his head down, not daring to move, just like a sculpture .Ji Linglan said helplessly: "My lord, you have a noble status, so at least pay attention to the influence."

"I'm just telling the truth. Besides, why do I have to be so restrained in front of Ah Lan? I just say whatever is on my mind."

"My lord, although this is a palace, it's inevitable that the walls have ears, so it's better to be careful."

Fu Nanling continued to speak in a serious manner: "Alan, I have an appointment with someone later, and I am going to drink tea in a tea house, and I want to get some money from you, will it work?"

Ji Linglan's face was completely red, and she said threateningly: "A Ling, don't make trouble!"

"Okay, don't make trouble, then Ah Lan is not allowed to call me 'Prince' at home from now on."

Ji Linglan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the roots were here, and she felt dumbfounded for a while.He took out his pocket watch to check the time, decided not to practice anymore, took the veil from Xiao Linzi's hand, wiped it, and asked casually, "Who did Ah Ling invite for tea?"

Fu Nanling smiled and replied: "Pingnan King Li Lin."

Ji Linglan frowned slightly, and said, "The prince with a different surname?"

"Yes, because of his outstanding military exploits, he was bestowed the title of Pingnan King by his father. Although he has been disarmed and returned to the field, his influence in the army is far-reaching. If he can win his support, the battle between me and Fu Nanping will be renewed. A little more certainty."

When Ji Linglan heard this, she frowned even tighter, and said disapprovingly: "A Ling, how can you say such a confidential matter casually, are you really not afraid that the walls have ears?"

Fu Nanling's eyes drooped, and he said aggrievedly: "I also want to have a private conversation with Ah Lan behind closed doors. I'm still being punished."

Ji Linglan choked for a moment, then said amusedly: "The co-authors are waiting for me here."

"My lord, breakfast is ready." Xiao Lizi's voice came from the next door.

Fu Nanling pitifully raised his radish-wrapped hand and said, "Alan, my hand hurts and I can't hold the chopsticks."

"Who's to blame, I did it myself, and I suffered it myself." It's okay not to mention it, but Ji Linglan gets angry when he mentions it.

Fu Nanling froze, looked at Ji Linglan's back as he walked away, smiled wryly and said, "Yes, it hit the muzzle of a gun."

Xiao Linzi set up the breakfast and said, "Master, take it easy."

Ji Linglan called Xiao Linzi to stop, and asked bluntly: "Xiao Linzi, do you know this Pingnan King?"

"King Pingnan is brave and good at fighting. He is the patron saint of the people of Fu. He is loved and respected by the people. All the people of Fu know about his deeds." When Xiao Linzi talked about King Pingnan, his eyes were full of reverence. color.

"Oh? Then you can tell me."

Xiao Linzi came back to his senses, quickly bowed and said, "My lord, please forgive me, but this slave made a slip of the tongue."

"It's okay, you can do what you say, just help me make up lessons."

Xiao Linzi pondered for a while, and said: "Before returning to Beijing, King Pingnan has been stationed in the southwest of Fu State, that is, the Linchuan Province on the border with Lin State. There are many high mountains and jungles. The climate in the jungle is humid, and poisonous insects and miasma are everywhere. There are also many uncivilized tribes. The people are mixed and difficult to manage. Especially Linguo covets the mines there, and often sends soldiers to turn into tribesmen to secretly search for mines. Management is even more difficult. All this, from Pingnan After Wang was sent to garrison Linchuan, changes began to take place. King Pingnan not only subdued the tribal leaders and let them be used by the state of Fu, but also wiped out the spies sent by Linguo to search for mines more than once. Linchuan became rich and solved the southwest problem that had troubled the emperor for many years."

"From what you've said, this King Pingnan is indeed a hero, worthy of respect."

"Young Master, King Pingnan's deeds are not limited to these. If it were only these, King Pingnan would be loved by the people in the southwest at most, and would not be famous all over the country."

Ji Linglan asked with interest: "Oh? What other achievements does King Pingnan have?"

"Sir, you should remember the severe drought in the past few years."

"Of course I remember, my parents were starved to death because of the severe drought."

"Three years of severe drought has rapidly weakened the national strength of the state of Fu. Not only did the people have no food, but the army also had no food. But even so, under the leadership of King Pingnan, our sergeants in the state of Fu have resisted the neighboring state time and time again. The aggression forcefully beat back the elites of Linguo. Although the slaves had never been on the battlefield, one can imagine how much the soldiers paid for defending the city and the country under the circumstances of lack of clothing and food. The price. The people of Fu State also know in their hearts that if there is no good general, Lin State may have driven straight in, and this is the real reason why King Pingnan is respected."

Ji Linglan nodded and said, "National heroes are truly admirable! Then why did King Pingnan return to Beijing? Who is guarding the southwest now?"

"King Pingnan is old, and he suffered a lot of injuries during the war, and the root cause of his illness has fallen. The emperor was sympathetic and let him return to Beijing to retire. Now the second son of King Pingnan, General Li Mianli, is guarding the southwest."

"Besides General Li, how many heirs does King Pingnan have?"

Xiao Linzi replied truthfully: "King Pingnan has three sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Li Ji, served as the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and the third son, Li Xun, served as the inspector of punishment in Guangping. The eldest daughter was summoned by the emperor. Entered the palace and became the imperial concubine, which is now Li Guifei, and the youngest daughter married the youngest son of the cabinet elder Lin Ge."

"The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the cabinet, the network of King Pingnan is really not ordinary." Ji Linglan pondered for a while, and then asked: "At present, the court is discussing the appointment of a crown prince. What is the intention of King Pingnan?" ?”

"I've never heard of who King Pingnan supported, so he should belong to the neutral faction. However, King Pingnan and the prince's grandfather were close friends. Later, because the old general and the eldest princess passed away one after another, the two families had less contact. Can the prince please If you can get King Pingnan to drink tea, maybe you can have a chance to persuade him."

"I see."
