The next day.
Lin Jinyan and Lin Jinan used the excuse of going to the general's mansion and left the mansion again.
After staying at the General's Mansion for an hour, the brother and sister left in carriages. Lin Jinyan went straight to the Night Marquis with her medicinal meal.
An Zhixian changed his clothes early because of today's appointment. He ordered Zhuqing to light some light and refreshing incense in the house. He took the book and looked at the time from time to time. He read the whole morning but didn't read a few words. He just felt The time this morning passed was extremely long.
Hearing someone talking in the yard, I quickly stood up and straightened my flat clothes, took a deep breath and exhaled with my usual smile.
Zhu Qing knocked on the door and came in, saying that it was Chu Chengyao who came to buy tea. He asked about An Zhixian and learned that he was not feeling well and had come to visit him. He was now in the yard.
When An Zhixian heard this, his smile stopped for a moment and the tenderness in his eyes disappeared. He picked up the book, took off his shoes, turned around, lifted up the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked Zhu Qing to invite someone in.
When Chu Chengyao entered the room, An Zhixian was putting on his shoes and stood up, his figure a little weak:
"His Royal Highness King Jin, I don't know if you are coming from afar."
Song Yi stood guard at the door. Chu Chengyao led Zhong Yi inside. Seeing this, he quickly took two steps and stopped An Zhixian who was saluting:
"I've told you before that there's no need for this between you and me. Besides, you're not feeling well, so there's no need to sit down and talk like this."
The two sat down at the table, and Chu Chengyao looked at An Zhixian's expression:
"You are usually healthy. What is wrong with you?"
An Zhixian smiled bitterly and said, "To be fair to Your Highness, it's not an illness but an injury."
"Injured? But fell? How could you be so careless?"
An Zhixian talked about what happened outside the city, and finally said:
"I reported it to the official, and Brother Zhou also checked for me personally, but no one was found. Businessmen make money by being friendly. I have never had any grudges with others. After thinking about it, it may be that my teahouse business is too good. In the past few years, there have been many people nearby. Several teahouses have closed down, probably because they thought I was taking away business."
Chu Chengyao looked angry: "That's unreasonable! They can only blame themselves for the poor management of the tea house, how can they seek personal revenge? Under the emperor's feet, they actually committed murder and hurt you in broad daylight. It is absolutely unreasonable! Don't be afraid, I will send someone to investigate this matter , I will give you an explanation once I find out."
An Zhixian thanked Chu Chengyao repeatedly and looked grateful for Chu Chengyao's concern.
As soon as Lin Jinyan entered Wuyehou, Zhu Qing greeted him. While politely inviting the master and servant into the backyard, he whispered that Chu Chengyao was here.
Entering the courtyard, he looked at Song Yi at the door. A flash of surprise flashed in Song Yi's eyes. When he saw Lin Jinyan quickly looking away, he quickly turned his gaze away, pretending to be indifferent as if he didn't recognize her.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jin should have something to talk to Boss An. If you don't bother me, just wait. Shopkeeper Qing is busy first."
As she spoke, Lin Jinyan sat down on the stone bench at the entrance of the courtyard, and Zhu Qing went down to the hall. Not long after, Lu Chun came with hot tea.
Lin Jinyan thanked her and looked up at Bai Zhi:
"Why are you carrying the medicinal food all the time? It's not too heavy."
Bai Zhi gently placed the food box on the stone table with a charming smile:
"This is what you asked the general's wife to endure. I was afraid that it would be spilled, so I kept carrying it carefully and forgot to put it down for a moment."
Lin Jinyan chuckled and said, "I'm used to asking for rewards for myself. I'll reward you for your hard work when you get back."
"Ms. Lin?"
Lin Jinyan heard the sound and saw Chu Chengyao stepping out of the door, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Chu Chengyao smiled gently: "There are no outsiders here, no courtesy."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and looked at the food box: "Ms. Lin, what is this?" (End of Chapter)
