During dinner, Liyi and Qing'er came to serve together, and Yan Ling frowned at her.
"My injury is not a problem. I can't just get paid and not do anything, right?" Li Yi said with a smile.
Yan Ling nodded, cleared his throat and asked Qing'er, "Have you got the ingredients for making medicine?"
"It's here. It's just sitting in the kitchen."
"Bring the medicine stove and licorice to my room."
"ah?"
Seeing Yan Ling's indifferent expression, Qing'er was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Yi with a pleading expression.
Although he didn't know what his young lady was going to do, Li Yi still supported Yan Ling 100%. Immediately he said: "You just do whatever the lady tells me."
Qing'er stepped out suspiciously, and Yan Ling Mingli closed the door.
"Miss, are you sick?"
Patting Li's hand to test the temperature of her forehead, Yan Ling smiled and shook his head: "Not yet, but it will be there soon."
Li Yiduo's smart mind reacted instantly and dissuaded her: "Miss, no! If you are really drunk, no one else will dare to approach the lady even if you block His Highness."
Putting his index finger to his mouth and making a silent gesture, Yan Ling glanced at the door and whispered to Li: "I have a sense of propriety, so I won't hurt myself."
Li Yi wanted to persuade her, but was cut off by her words.
"Can't you just watch while I make the medicine?" Yan Ling chuckled, stood up and stretched, "Pack your things away, and then help me make the medicine."
Qing'er just opened the door and walked in. Liyi pursed his lips and packed up with her.
As Yan Shuang's eyeliner, Qing'er always felt that she had missed some big news. While he was carrying the dinner plate, he started chatting with Liyi.
"My lady put the medicine stove in the house. I don't know how choking it will be after boiling the medicine. You don't want to advise me."
"What are you advising? I am the master. If you are asked to do it, you will do it. If you talk too much, your tongue will be pulled out."
Hearing this, Qing'er trembled all over, swallowed her saliva and complained: "The smell of the medicine is very unpleasant, did you tell me who to wait on?"
"You were the one who took care of me when I was on leave for so long. Of course I have to repay you in return. You don't have to worry about making medicine from now on. I'll do it."
Qing'er left happily. After finishing everything, Li went into the back room and locked the door. He turned around and saw Yan Ling rummaging through the baggage for something.
"Where's Qing'er?"
"I sent you to bed," Li Yi quickly lit two more lamps and placed them on the table next to Yan Ling, "Miss, what are you looking for?"
She just happened to pull out Angelica sinensis, put away the baggage, smiled, stood up and said, "Of course I'm going to be sick."
Li Yi frowned and asked with some uncertainty: "Danggui can activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis? Did I remember it wrong?"
After adjusting the medicine pot and water volume, Yan Ling threw the angelica in without haste. Smiling slightly: "Of course it's good to use the right amount, but it's hard to tell if you use too much."
"What will happen?"
Seeing Li Yi's nervous look, his heart warmed. Yan Ling smiled and explained, "It's just a fever. Don't worry. Nothing will happen to me this time."
But there are only two invitations from the Third Prince! Li Yi wanted to retort, but was afraid that she would drink more.
Yan Ling knew what she was thinking, so he smiled and said nothing. She just had to refuse the Third Prince's invitation on the grounds of illness. She wanted to report the news that she was "really sick" to the Prime Minister's wife and Yan Shuang. There's no way to explain her plan for a rainy day, so I won't explain it at all.
Half an hour later, a bowl of strong-smelling medicinal soup was poured out from the medicine jar. Li Yi took out the prepared preserves and gave them to her, staring at the medicine bowl without blinking.
Reaching out to pick up the paper bag on the side and handing it to Li Yi, Yan Ling said, "You go and dispose of the licorice, and I'll just drink the medicine myself."
Liyi looked at her worriedly, nodded and walked out.
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Qing'er carried the basin into the house and approached the bed to wake her up.
"Second Miss sent someone to tell her that if she doesn't get up, she will not be able to make the appointment on time."
Qing'er pinched her nose and curled her lips in disgust. Suddenly she noticed that Yan Ling's face was red and silent, so she nervously touched her forehead.
"Li Yi! Call the doctor quickly!"
So in less than a while, a circle of people gathered around the Youth Courtyard, and the doctor with a gray beard frowned and took Yan Ling's pulse.
She vaguely heard the voice of her "mother" Su, asking her what was wrong with her.
"Could it be that the eldest lady is poisoned?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Su scolded, "In the clear sky, who does she have a grudge against?"
After being scolded by her, the doctor took his pulse again and said after careful consideration: "Miss, it seems she has caught the wind and cold. Has there been any wind recently?"
Thinking of yesterday's wind, Mrs. Su frowned and thought about yesterday's palace banquet. So many people went there, why was she the only one who got sick
Immediately, he realized the whole story and said to the doctor impatiently: "Prescribe a prescription."
The doctor was in a hurry and wanted to leave, so he wrote the prescription and left.
At this time, Yan Ling slowly opened his eyes and saw Yan Shuang covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief as if she was afraid of catching an illness.
"It's all my fault that I had a bad throat yesterday and had to cook licorice soup. Otherwise, I wouldn't be like this today."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shuang hurriedly put down her veil and comforted her like a sister, "It doesn't matter, just take good care of yourself."
"I said it smells like medicine." After sending someone to grab the medicine, Mrs. Su frowned and looked at Yan Ling, "It's really unlucky."
Quickly lowering his eyes to cover his twinkling eyes, Yan Ling said softly and embarrassedly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Third Prince's invitation, so I'd like to ask my sister to explain something on my behalf."
"Okay, I'll let people go."
Originally, Yan Ling was reluctant to let Yan Ling go and have sex with her sweetheart, Yan Shuang, but she was happy that the plan didn't work out this time.
After pouring the tea, Li Yi left. Mrs. Su sighed and looked at Yan Ling with an angry look on her face: "Empress De Fei has told me many times that she likes you very much, and so does the Third Highness. like you."
Yan Ling lowered his eyes and said nothing. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Yan Shuang with an angry look on his face.
"You have reached the age to get married. My mother originally wanted to match you up, but who would have thought that something like this would suddenly happen?"
The incense burner rose up with swirling smoke. Yan Ling looked at it in rapt attention and said softly: "It's me who is unlucky."
"nonsense!"
Mrs. Su was about to stop her from talking nonsense when Qing'er's voice came.
"His Royal Highness sent people to send many gifts and said that he hoped the eldest lady would recover soon."
"Look, isn't this blessing coming?" Mrs. Su accepted the gift list with a smile, patted Yan Ling's hand and started to be the lobbyist for His Highness the Third Prince again.
"Miss Madam, His Highness the Crown Prince personally sent a gift and said that he hopes the eldest lady can recover as soon as possible." Li said.
"In person?" Yan Shuang was startled when he heard this, and his beautiful eyebrows suddenly frowned, "Can you leave?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Master are talking in the study and haven't left yet."
Mrs. Su opened her mouth and then pursed it, as if she didn't know what to say. He snorted coldly and said, "His information is quite good."
Yan Ling lowered his eyes and said nothing, his lowered eyebrows unpredictable.
