It was already evening after visiting the Hundred Gardens. Ji Linglan put aside her troubles and had a great time, especially with the lively and straightforward Ji Pingting by her side. The relationship between the four of them also made great progress.

After getting into the carriage, the group came to Shengyuan Restaurant and got off the carriage, then went up to the second floor, went down to the back door, and got into an ordinary carriage.Ji Linglan has been following Princess Yaohua, he understands that this should be the stronghold of Linguo in the capital of Fuguo.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped, and then there was a 'squeak', and then the carriage started to move again, but it stopped soon.

"Princess, we have arrived at the place."

Princess Yaohua looked at Ji Linglan and said softly, "Alan, get out of the car."

Ji Linglan and Princess Yaohua got out of the car together, he looked around, the carriage was parked in a courtyard, he guessed it should be the Green Bamboo Garden in Qingliu Lane written on the note.

Princess Yaohua looked at Qiaoyi beside her and said: "Order to prepare meals and hot water."

Blessed the body with a clever intention, said: "Yes, princess."

Ji Linglan naturally understood the reason for preparing hot water, and her calm heart was slightly disturbed.

"Alan, I've been tired all day, let Ting'er take you to the guest room to rest, and I'll call you when the meal is ready."

"Okay, thank you princess."

Ji Pingting walked up to Ji Linglan, took his arm, and said with a smile, "Brother Ah Lan, let's go, I'll show you my baby."

Ji Linglan nodded, and let Ji Pingting lead her through the garden to the backyard, and stopped at the door of the East Wing.Ji Pingting let go of Ji Linglan, pushed open the door and walked in, saying, "Brother Ah Lan, this is just an ordinary courtyard with three entrances, don't mind."

"It's pretty good, it's similar to my house in Yongning Town." Ji Linglan stepped over the threshold and walked in, came to the table and sat down.

"Brother Lan, just wait, I'll go get my baby, and I'll be right back."

Seeing Ji Pingting running out excitedly, Ji Linglan couldn't help sighing, this is what a young girl should look like, lively and straightforward, to enjoy her teenage years, instead of getting married early.

"Dong dong dong", there was a knock on the door, and a maid walked in, holding a tray in her hand, and saluted: "This servant has seen the young master."

Ji Linglan smiled and said, "There's no need to be too polite."

The maid came to the table, brought the teacup on the tray to Ji Linglan's side, and said, "My lord, please have some tea."

"Thank you." Ji Linglan thanked politely.

"The servant girl is right outside the door, if you have any orders from the young master, just speak out."

Ji Linglan responded, and the maid bowed and exited the door.

Ji Linglan looked at the tea on the table, and was about to drink it when Ji Pingting ran in from outside excitedly.He put down the teacup again, looked at Ji Pingting, saw sweat on her forehead, and said, "I won't be leaving for a while, you don't have to be so anxious."

Ji Pingting laughed "hehe" twice, and said, "Aren't I in a hurry to show brother A Lan my baby?"

Ji Linglan looked at the bottles and jars on the table, and said, "These are all your treasures?"

"Yeah." Ji Pingting nodded proudly, opened a small red bottle, handed it to Ji Linglan, and said, "Brother Ah Lan, look."

A blood-red beetle crawled out of it. The beetle was very small, the size of a mung bean, with a pair of transparent wings. It looked weak and harmless.

Ji Linglan asked curiously: "What is this?"

"This is Lovesickness Gu. It's a pair. There's another one inside. It's just that the female one is lazy. She only eats and sleeps. If you don't call it, you won't move."

"Lovesickness Gu?" Ji Linglan recalled the martial arts novels he had read when he was young, and asked enthusiastically, "So this is the legendary Gu. What is the function of this Lovesickness Gu?"

"Lovesickness Gu is used on those idiotic men and women. Once both parties are under Lovesickness Gu, if one person changes his heart and falls in love with another, then this person will be backbited by the Gu insects. The Gu insects will eat his internal organs bit by bit. until he dies."

Ji Linglan frowned slightly when she heard the words, and said: "If someone is planted with this kind of Gu, and unfortunately one of them dies young, if the living person falls in love with someone else, will he be backlashed?"

Ji Pingting patiently explained: "No. Once the host dies, the Gu insects will also die, and if one of them dies, the other will die too, and the living person will no longer be affected by the Lovesickness Gu. .”

Although this sounds better, Ji Linglan still feels that this kind of thing should not be used, after all, it is really hard to say about feelings.

"Ting'er, have you ever used this thing on people?"

Ji Pingting said honestly: "I haven't used it, but the emperor asked me to use lovesickness Gu once, so she should have used it."

Ji Linglan said earnestly: "Ting'er, it's good for you to keep this Gu worm, but don't use it casually. You can't force it on emotional matters, otherwise you will hurt others and yourself."

"Okay, I heard from Brother Alan, and I actually think it's fun to raise these." Ji Pingting agreed without thinking.

Ji Linglan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the other bottles and cans, and asked, "Then what are these?"

Ji Pingting opened the bottle caps one by one, and excitedly showed Ji Linglan her treasures.Ji Pingting has been fond of all kinds of small animals since she was a child, so Princess Yaohua specially built a zoo for her in the Princess Mansion, which has everything from big wolves, tigers and leopards to small snakes, insects, rats and ants.She also showed her treasures to others, but those princes and ladies were not interested, and even united to reject her. The dignified princess knows all kinds of weird things without knowing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or reading classics and history. They say she's a freak.Except for Lin Xian'er, no one listened to him so patiently and with interest.

"This is a tracking bee, which can leave a unique scent on the target. As long as the distance does not exceed one mile, it can accurately point out the direction of the target."

Ji Linglan said with interest: "How should this tracking bee be manipulated?"

"Use this." Ji Pingting took out a small emerald green whistle from her sleeve pocket, handed it to Ji Linglan, and then said, "I use the rhythm to control it. As long as you learn the tune, Brother Alan will also use it." Can."

Ji Linglan carefully looked at the whistle in his hand. It was about the thickness of a little finger and made of bamboo. It was a very ordinary whistle.He tried to put it near his mouth and blew, and a crisp sound sounded, but the tracking bee remained motionless.He returned the whistle with a smile, and couldn't help but praise: "Ting'er is really capable, she has researched so many interesting things."

Ji Pingting's beautiful almond eyes narrowed happily, and said, "Brother Ah Lan, they all say I'm a freak, and even my mother often says I'm playful, you're the first person to praise me like that. Hehe, I What a joy!"

"These are very useful things, especially this tracking bee, if used properly, it will be a great weapon."

"If brother Ah Lan likes it, I'll give it to you." Ji Pingting was recognized for the first time, and she almost regarded Ji Linglan as a confidant. Will give it to him without hesitation.

"This is what Tinger trained hard. How can I win people's love?" Ji Linglan asked immediately: "Tinger, this tracking bee is very useful in marching and fighting. Why doesn't the general use it?"

"The tracking bee is not easy to train. I just finished it, and I haven't had time to tell my father."

"So that's how it is." Ji Linglan said with a smile: "If you send the tracking bee to the general, the general will definitely praise you."

"Hey, praise is fine, as long as you don't say that I'm playful." Even though she said so, Ji Pingting couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Hey, a Gu worm crawled into the teacup."

Ji Linglan wanted to drink tea just now, so he opened the lid of the cup, but did not close it, a Gu worm crawled in along the side of the cup.

Ji Pingting smiled helplessly and said, "The poisonous Gu likes the smell of tea the most. As long as it smells it, it will definitely crawl over to look for it."

Just as Ji Pingting was about to reach out to grab it, she found that the poisonous Gu had changed color, from pure white to azure blue.Ji Pingting's expression changed, and she said, "This tea is poisonous!"

Ji Linglan was startled, then got up and went to the door, only to find that the original maid had disappeared at some point.

"Brother Alan, who made this tea for you?"

"A maid brought it in just now. Now is not the time to talk about these things. It's better to inform the princess and the general as soon as possible to get him out."

"Okay, I'm going to inform my mother now."

"I am with you."

Princess Yaohua and Ji Mingqiu were drinking tea and chatting in the main hall, when they saw Ji Pingting and Ji Linglan hurrying in, they asked strangely, "Alan, Tinger, what's wrong?"

Ji Pingting replied bluntly: "Mother, the tea that a maid sent to Brother A Lan just now contained poison."

"Very poisonous?" Princess Yaohua stood up nervously, came to Ji Linglan's side, and said, "Is there something wrong, Ah Lan?"

"Princess, don't worry, I didn't drink that cup of tea." Ji Linglan paused, and then said: "Princess, if something like this happens, it is very likely that this place is no longer safe. I think it's better to leave as soon as possible."

Princess Yaohua raised her voice and said: "Come here."

As soon as Princess Yaohua finished speaking, a man in a black suit walked into the hall and saluted, "Your subordinates obey your orders."

"Did someone come out of this house just now?"

"Back to the princess, the house is heavily guarded by shadow guards, and no one has ever left."

"Are you sure?"

The shadow guard said firmly: "Yes, this subordinate is sure!"

Princess Yaohua couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, then her face turned cold, and she said: "Come here, bring everyone here, I want to see who has the guts to confront you under my nose." Alan is not good."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

"Princess, my identity has not yet been determined, but someone is eager to silence me. Why?"

Ji Linglan asked out her doubts, which was obviously unreasonable.

"Alan, I'll explain to you after I find that person."

Ji Linglan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, everyone in the Green Bamboo Garden gathered in the main hall. After saluting, they stood in front of the hall in an orderly manner.

Princess Yaohua looked at Ji Linglan and asked, "Alan, do you still remember what the maid who brought you tea looked like?"

"I remember." Ji Linglan nodded. Although he only met for a short time, he has always had a good memory, and he also learned shorthand from Gao Yuan, so he clearly remembered the maid's appearance.

Princess Yaohua ordered: "Everyone raise their heads."

Everyone raised their heads one after another, Ji Linglan looked over one by one, and when his eyes touched the last maid, he recognized it at a glance.Seeing him looking over, the maid just exchanged glances, then drew out her dagger, jumped over the crowd, and rushed towards Ji Linglan.

"Grab her!" Princess Yaohua pulled Ji Linglan behind her without thinking.

Seeing this, Ji Mingqiu took a step forward, blocked the two of them, raised his foot and kicked the maid, who was hit in the abdomen, and fell to the ground with a 'bang', and then looked again, only to find that she had already vomited blood. Died out of breath.

Ji Pingting knelt down to check, and said, "Take the poison."

"See if she has any tattoos."

Ji Pingting responded, opened the maid's sleeve, took out a torch from the sleeve pocket to ignite, and roasted it on the outside of her upper arm, and then a black flame-shaped tattoo appeared.

Princess Yaohua frowned, looked at the shadow guard at the side, and said: "Order, everyone is not allowed to leave the house, or they will be executed immediately!"

"Yes, your subordinates obey!"

"Go prepare water, let the young master take a bath, and let everyone else go down."

Everyone saluted one after another, then turned and left, only Princess Yaohua's family of three and Ji Linglan were left in the room.

"Alan, this is the end of the matter, let's confirm your identity first, and then talk about other things."

Ji Linglan nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to my room first."

"Brother Alan, I'll take you there."

"You stay with your mother, and I'm with Alan."

Ji Pingting was taken aback, and then said, "Okay, then father must protect Brother Alan well."

"Don't worry." Ji Mingqiu turned to look at Ji Linglan, and said, "Let's go."

Ji Linglan naturally understood the meaning of Ji Mingqiu's following, and after resigning with Princess Yaohua, she followed Ji Mingqiu back to the East Wing.The tub was ready, and the attendants were adding hot water in buckets. Soon after the hot water was filled, the attendants left one after another.

Ji Linglan turned to the back of the screen, took off her shirt, and walked to the tub naked, then turned around and said, "General, do I have a birthmark?"

Looking at the birthmark on Ji Linglan's back, Ji Mingqiu couldn't help being startled, and then said excitedly: "Yes, yes, you are my son!"

Ji Linglan turned his head as hard as he could, and tried to take a look at his right waist, but he couldn't see anything. He frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, it's right here, too far back, you can't see clearly." Ji Mingqiu stretched out his finger to point to the location of the birthmark, then hugged Ji Linglan tightly, and said excitedly: "Ah Lan, we finally found the birthmark." is you!"

Ji Linglan, who was shirtless, just felt awkward. After all, he is not the rightful owner, and he will not be able to empathize for a while, but he also knows that now is not the time to spoil the atmosphere.After waiting for a while, he said aloud, "General, can I take a shower first, or put on my clothes before talking about anything else?"

Ji Mingqiu let go of Ji Linglan, his eyes turned red when he looked at him, and said, "You take a bath first, I'll go and tell the princess the good news, and we'll discuss it in detail after you take a bath."

Ji Linglan responded, and he didn't unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief until Ji Mingqiu walked out of the room.Taking off his pants, Ji Linglan stepped into the bathtub, trying to see the birthmark on the back through the reflection of the water, but unfortunately it was already night and the light was too dark to see anything clearly, he gave up after tossing for a while.

"Dong dong dong", there was a knock on the door, and an unfamiliar male voice came from outside the door, "My lord, this servant will send you a change of clothes."

Ji Linglan looked at the bolted door, then looked at the window, saw that the window was not bolted, and said, "Put your clothes on the window sill."

"Yes."

Footsteps sounded, the people in front of the door walked around to the window, opened the window, and Ji Linglan saw a pair of hands stretched in, holding a set of sky blue clothes in his hands, and placed them on the window sill according to his instructions , and then the window was closed.From the beginning to the end, the man didn't show his face.

"If the young master has no order, the servant will leave first."

"Go back."

After taking a bath for a while, Ji Linglan felt a little tired after walking for a day. He stood up and walked out of the bathtub, wiped off the water on his body with a handkerchief, went to the window sill, and reached for his clothes.Suddenly thinking of the attendant who hadn't shown up, Ji Linglan felt it was better to be more cautious in view of the previous poisoning incident, walked back to the screen, put on her original clothes, and picked up Xiaobai who was lying on the bed .

Suddenly a black shadow flashed by the window, and Ji Linglan called out, "Who?"

Ji Linglan waited for a while, but no one responded.He frowned slightly, did not open the window to check, but pushed the door and walked out.

"Brother, you're done washing." Ji Pingting, who had been watching at the entrance of the main hall, saw Ji Linglan coming out, and walked up to him in two or three steps, and took his arm affectionately.

"Ting'er, did you notice someone walking past my window just now?"

Ji Pingting shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it. Brother, what's the matter, can something happen?"

"I was dressing in the room just now, and I noticed a black shadow flashing by the window."

"Shadow?" Ji Pingting let go of Ji Linglan, turned around and walked towards the window sill, she lit a torch, examined it carefully, and said, "There are indeed footprints here."

Ji Linglan also squatted down, and said: "Just now the attendant brought me a change of clothes, because the door was locked, I asked him to put the clothes on the window sill, which should have been left at that time. However, There seem to be too many footprints, and you can see that the sole of the foot is deep and the heel is shallow, and most of these footprints are left when running away."

Ji Pingting frowned, and said, "Then someone is watching from the window?"

"It should be." Ji Linglan paused, and then said: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with the clothes I just sent over."

Ji Pingting stood up, opened the window, and reached out to get it.Ji Linglan quickly stopped her and said, "Be careful, if something goes wrong, it's too late to regret it."

"Ting'er, Alan, where are you?"

When Princess Yaohua called, Ji Pingting quickly responded, "Mother, we are here."

Princess Yaohua and Ji Mingqiu came over together, saw them standing in front of the window, and asked strangely: "What are you doing?"

Ji Linglan explained the whole story in a few words, and said, "Princess, I suspect that there are still people in this house with evil intentions."

Princess Yaohua frowned when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Ji Mingqiu, and said, "What do you train the shadow guards for? These people have attacked Alan twice and three times, but they didn't notice it. Ji Mingqiu, Ruo A What's the matter with Lan, I'm not finished with you!"

Seeing Princess Yaohua get angry, Ji Mingqiu's face darkened, and he raised his voice and said, "Come here."

The shadow guard quickly appeared, knelt down on the ground, and said: "This subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish him, master."

Seeing this, Ji Linglan said aloud: "General, it's just my guess at the moment. Let's go in and have a look at the clothes. If there is really a problem, it is the most important thing to find out the details as soon as possible."

Princess Yaohua glared at Ji Mingqiu, and said, "Alan, follow me in and have a look."

Ji Linglan followed Princess Yaohua into the room, Princess Yaohua looked at the clothes on the window sill, stretched out her hand and said, "Bring the sword."

Ji Mingqiu drew out the long sword at his waist, walked to the window, and said, "I'll do it."

Ji Mingqiu picked up the clothes with his long sword, and only heard a 'snap', a green snake fell on the window sill, then straightened up, and sprinted towards Ji Mingqiu's front door very fast.Ji Mingqiu quickly blocked the clothes in front of him, the snake's head hit the clothes, and then slipped to the ground.

"Zhuyeqing!" Ji Pingting said, frowning as she looked at the swiftly swimming snake on the ground.

Xiaobai, who was sleeping on Ji Linglan's body, suddenly moved, quickly got out of his sleeve, and swam towards Zhuyeqing.

Ji Pingting looked at it and said excitedly: "Xiaobai is the king of poisonous snakes. If someone invades its territory, how could it let it go? It's a good show."

Xiaobai quickly caught up with Zhuyeqing, with his head held high, he sprinted and bit Zhuyeqing's neck. Zhuyeqing only struggled a few times before becoming silent.Xiaobai immediately let go, and swam towards Ji Linglan.

Ji Pingting knelt down, lifted Xiaobai up, touched its little head, and said proudly, "Our Xiaobai is the best!"

Ji Linglan turned to look at Princess Yaohua, and said: "Princess, there is indeed something wrong with this dress, we should find out that person first, and then talk about other things."

"it is good."

Princess Yaohua gathered people in the main hall again, and asked bluntly: "Who gave you the clothes just now?"

Everyone looked at each other, and one of the attendants took a step forward and said, "Back to the princess, I was supposed to be sent by the servant, but at the time the servant was suffering from unbearable abdominal pain, so I asked Li Ping to go instead of the servant for fear of delaying the matter."

Princess Yaohua was not angry, she said: "Who is Li Ping? Stand up!"

The attendant then replied: "Princess, Li Ping is not here."

"Come here, search around, live to see people, die to see corpses!"

The Yingwei hiding in the dark quickly responded and scattered away.

Princess Yaohua looked at the people in front of the hall, and said: "You are all talents carefully selected by me, with top-notch abilities. You have come here from a long distance, just for the peace of the country, and for the parents at home to live a stable life. Days. I never thought that two traitors would appear in just one hour, which really disappointed me!"

Everyone hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said: "Princess Mingjian, we are all loyal and never betrayed our mother country."

"Then how to explain what happened today?"

Everyone looked at each other. What happened today really caught them off guard. They never thought that the people who lived in a far away place would betray their master.

The attendant who spoke just now said again: "Princess, they must be nails inserted by Lu Xiang'an."

Princess Yaohua raised her eyebrows and said: "Mr. Lu? How did you know?"

"Lu Xiang and the princess have always been at odds, and they have long had the heart of disobedience. The princess's sudden mission to the Fu country this time must have aroused his suspicion. I am afraid that the princess will bring the son back to the country, so the army is dangerous, and I would rather expose the nails. Identity, but also put the son and death."

Princess Yaohua smiled slightly and said: "What you said makes sense, what's your name?"

"Slave Chang Lin, thank you Princess for your praise."

Princess Yaohua said softly: "Chang Lin? Where is your home, and who else is there?"

"The slave's ancestral home is Changqing, Jiangdong, where his parents are all present, and he has a younger brother and a younger sister."

"Jiangdong is a good place. There have been many heroes since ancient times. If you are given a chance, you will definitely be a generation of heroes in the future. It's a pity..." Princess Yaohua sighed.

Chang Lin involuntarily raised his head to look at Princess Yaohua, and said, "The slave doesn't understand what the princess means, so I ask the princess to explain the confusion for the slave."

"It's a pity that you talk too much. You are so smart, don't you know the truth of 'talking too much is bound to fail'?" Princess Yaohua looked at Chang Lin indifferently.

Chang Lin was startled, and then said, "Princess, I don't understand."

"Don't understand? I think you know too much." Princess Yaohua's complexion darkened, and said: "Come here, take it!"
