"Lin Wanyan, I didn't expect you to be so self-righteous."
opinionated
Lin Bao frowned slightly. From his tone, it seemed that he and Lin Wanyan were very familiar before, and the relationship between the two of them was definitely not ordinary friends.
In this era, there are only two possibilities for men and women who are not ordinary friends - either they do not know each other, or they are lovers.
But how can any lover meet in this situation
Lin Bao bit his lip, "Will you give me the antidote?"
Hearing this, Nan Jing let go of the hand holding her chin, with a look of anger on his face. He said disdainfully: "Why do you think I will give you the antidote?"
This time it's not "I" but "I".
Listening to his words, Lin Bao was slightly annoyed, "Then why did you ask me to come!"
"You have to come by yourself. What's wrong with Guan Ben?" Nan Jing said coldly, meeting her eyes with a trace of suspicion in his eyes.
“…”
Lin Bao choked at his words and was speechless.
-Okay, it’s true that she came here to look for him because she had nothing to do, but isn’t he waiting here too!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Bao raised his eyes and looked at him, "So you don't plan to give me the antidote?"
He was silent, and the indifference in his eyes had already answered her question.
Seeing this, Lin Bao knew that there was no need to stay any longer, so he turned around and walked out of the alley.
Nan Jing watched her back gradually disappear from his sight, then pulled off the dough from her face, reached out and touched her face gently, and finally sighed.
—Lin Wanyan, can’t you put down your body and beg me to give you the antidote

When Lin Bao finally walked out of the alley after a lot of effort, the man in black caught up with her, gave her the medicine bottle in his hand, and left.
She looked at the medicine bottle in her hand and was about to ask something. When she looked up, the man in black had disappeared.
It seems that the irritable man must have regretted it, right
Lin Bao pursed his lips and ran back to the palace holding the medicine bottle.
Although she didn't know what the relationship between the irritable man and Lin Wanyan was, one thing she was sure of was that the irritable man must care about Lin Wanyan very much, otherwise he wouldn't have sent someone to give her the medicine.
After Lin Bao returned with the antidote, the imperial doctors hurriedly asked someone to test the medicine, and then gave the medicine to Lian Che to take.
At first, Lin Bao was a little doubtful whether the medicine was fake, but after Lian Che woke up, he was convinced of the character of the irritable man.
The imperial doctors on the side breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lian Che wake up. Then they surrounded Lin Bao and asked, "May I ask Eunuch Bao, where did you get this antidote?"
Lin Bao pursed his lips, lied without blushing, and said: "There is a hidden miraculous doctor who happened to stay here outside the palace, so I asked him to find an antidote to all poisons."
"Is that so?" The imperial doctors nodded one after another, looking as if they were preparing to leave the palace to find the so-called hidden miraculous doctor.
Lin Bao stopped talking nonsense with them, walked through the crowd and walked to the bed, calling in a low voice: "Lian Che—"
Lian Che, who was lying on the bed like a dead body, moved in response and slowly opened his eyes. What came into view was the familiar scene in the side hall.
Lin Bao carefully helped him up and asked with concern: "Lian Che, are you still in pain?"
pain
Lian Che pursed his chapped lips, stretched out his hands to hug her tightly, and leaned close to her ear, saying: "Lin Bao, I have something to say to you—"
She nodded, "I also have something to say to you."
Hearing this, Lian Che smiled, straightened up and winked at Eunuch An, who then led the rest of the crowd out of the side hall and waited outside.
For a moment, they were the only two people left in the room.
Lian Che reached out and touched her face, with a smile on his brows, "What do you want to say to me?"
Lin Bao took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to reach out and put his arm around his uninjured waist, pressed his side of his face against his chest, listened to his strong heartbeat, and said, "Lian Che, I find that I like you."
- Faced with a certain baby's confession for the first time in his life, Lianxin laughed heartily, rubbed his stubble-covered chin on her head, and said, "It seems that there is no need to say what I have to say."
No need to say
Lin Bao was confused, raised his eyes and said, "What are you going to say?"
"—I have fallen in love with you a long time ago." He made no secret of it, and his pale face had a morbid beauty that was just recovering from a serious illness, like a creature that had been given a new life.
Early
Lin Bao frowned slightly, and after a long while, he raised his eyes to look at him, reached out and poked his chest, and said angrily: "How dare you know this a long time ago, and you still treat me like a monkey!"
Lian Che just smiled, his beautiful phoenix eyes full of endearment, as if they had spanned a thousand years and shot into her eyes.
Just when he was in a coma, he finally figured out a problem - it turned out that he cared about her more than he thought, and he even wanted to use his remaining life in exchange for one day of love with her.
But now, he knows that this silly girl also likes him, so he doesn't have to trade his life for their longevity.
After thinking about it, he smiled even more heartily.
*
After Lian Che woke up, the wounds on his back were slowly healing, and scabs formed the next day. The imperial doctor attributed these to Lin Bao, and even asked Lin Bao about the residence of the hidden miraculous doctor.
In this regard, Lin Bao just casually said that the hidden miracle doctor did not want anyone to disturb him, otherwise he would never treat people casually again. After hearing this, the doctors had no choice but to give up.
Lian Che also used the excuse of being seriously injured to stay in bed for several days and refused to go to court. In this regard, Lin Bao expressed that he was helpless.
She rubbed her aching waist, looked at the lively Lian Che, and said sadly: "Why do I think your injury has been cured long ago?"
-If it wasn't good, why could he continue to exploit her as usual? Even more ferocious than before...
Hearing this, Lian Che looked aggrieved and said, "What hurts me is my body, but what hurts is my heart!"
-peat!
Lin Bao had the urge to slap him to death, gritted his teeth and said, "Lian Che, didn't you take any medicine today? Why are you being so pretentious!"
Lian Che was not annoyed after hearing this. He turned sideways to straighten her hair, kissed her forehead gently and said, "After I recover from my injury, I will have to go to the border to fight. You will be in the palace then." Only when you look at me can you realize how good I am to you."
Going on an expedition
Lin Bao frowned, "Can't you just go? - There are so many ministers in the palace anyway."
"You don't understand. Those small countries are so presumptuous just because they see me and don't dare to go. If I go, I can not only defeat them, but also revive their morale." He said patiently.
However, she curled her lips and looked at him with disgust, "Are you sure someone won't attack you if you go?"
"Stupid girl, can you have some faith in me? I'm not a fool." He reached out and tapped her head gently, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
After such a farewell, I wonder how long it will take to see each other again.
Just when he was feeling sad, he heard Lin Bao say: "No, I have to go with you too. What if you are bullied?"
“…”
This girl, if you don’t want him to bring back a butterfly, just say so!
Even though he was very happy in his heart, he still sighed and said: "It's too dangerous there, I won't allow it."
Danger
If it's dangerous for her to go, then it won't be dangerous for him to go
Lin Bao raised her eyebrows, hugged his arm and started acting coquettishly, "Hao Lian Che, just let me accompany you. Anyway, with you here, what's the danger?"
-Is this girl using him as a talisman
Lian Che didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was secretly happy because of her dependence. In desperation, he had no choice but to compromise: "Then don't cause me any trouble."
"I understand, little one!" she said with a playful smile, just like a little kid who hasn't grown up.
Lian Che shook his head helplessly, pinched her cheek in both annoyance and amusement, and promised: "When I settle down in the future, I will marry you as my queen, okay?"
Marry her as your queen
Lin Bao's body suddenly stiffened. If he wanted to marry her, he couldn't possibly marry her as a eunuch, right? - But if her true identity is used, then her prime minister father knows that she has entered the palace and became a eunuch so unscrupulously, but he still doesn't break her legs
Moreover, Lin Wanyan still had an engagement, so even if Lian Che ordered to cancel the engagement, it wouldn't be convincing, right? When the time comes, he may still say that Lian Che is a foolish king.
After thinking about it, she licked her lips under his expectant gaze and said, "It's not urgent - after all, even I can't remember my own life experience."
"I asked Rufeng to help you find—"
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, she covered her mouth with her hand, and she hesitated: "Actually, I want to remember it myself, otherwise everything will be impossible for me just by relying on external forces. There’s no point anymore.”
What she said was so reasonable that even Che couldn't hold on any longer. He just nodded with a rare gentleness and said, "Then I will accompany you to retrieve your memory."
"… good."
She responded, but suddenly thought of Nian Hua in her mind. Seeing him happily lifting off the quilt and putting on his clothes, she felt a little struggling and hesitant in her heart.
-If I tell him now, will he be distracted? But if you don't tell him, what if Nianhua and those ministers rebel when he goes off to war
When Lian Che got dressed, Lin Baodu was still sitting on the bed in a daze.
He walked forward, took the clothes and handed them to her, saying, "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Bao suddenly came back to his senses, looked into his eyes, mustered up the courage, pulled him to sit on the bed, and said, "I'm going to tell you something now. Don't be angry after hearing this, okay?"
Lian Che nodded suspiciously, but heard her take a deep breath and continue: "Actually, on the night when you were injured, when I went to the kitchen to find water, I passed by a wing and accidentally saw Nian Hua and General Feng talking. "
"I didn't care at first, but I didn't expect that what they were talking about was actually about usurping the throne. I wanted to tell you earlier, but -"
