Chapter 119 The Essence of Shame Orchid
Chapter 119 The Essence of Shame Orchid
"Reproduction on its own leaves? That..."
Lan Jinyan found it interesting and wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by an indifferent voice.
"Xiao Linzi, how are you taking care of the imperial concubine's shy orchid? It won't delay the Hundred Flowers Banquet next month, right?"
"Hey, don't worry, Nanny Xin, it will definitely be even more beautiful than last year."
Xiao Linzi used his body to block Nanny Xin's inquiring line of sight and said flatteringly.
He said so, but his body was already covered in sweat.
The goddess has plowed all the grass, and even if there are flower buds, there is no way to see them.
When Lan Jinyan heard this, she looked over and recognized at a glance that the person was Nanny Xin who wanted to slap her today.
Nanny Xin was the most popular person in front of Concubine Lan. She considered herself superior to others. She raised her chin proudly and raised her eyes to the sky when looking at others.
Because Lan Jinyan was squatting, and the sky was getting dark and the light was unclear, she naturally didn't notice that there was a third person here.
"That's good, bring the things." She stretched out her hand towards Xiao Linzi.
Lan Jinyan looked over curiously and saw Xiao Linzi quickly taking out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handing it over.
Grandma Xin collected her things, said nothing more, and left with satisfaction.
"Huh~" Xiao Linzi let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she didn't notice anything strange about Shame Orchid.
"What did you give her just now?" Lan Jinyan came over.
Xiao Linzi realized that there was another person here, thinking that she must have seen what just happened, so she didn't hide it.
"The goddess wants to know, I will tell you, but you can't tell others."
He pulled Lan Jinyan to squat in the corner, carefully looked around, and then whispered: "That is the essence extracted from the flowers of the orchid. Concubine Lan has to take it once every fifteenth or so." , it is said that it can beautify the skin and keep you young forever.”
"It's just for beauty, why did you say it secretly?"
Lan Jinyan once again focused her attention on the orchids on the wall. Looking horizontally and vertically, she saw that they were nothing special.
"You are still young and do not understand the overt and covert struggles of these women in the palace. If the other concubines know the secret of Concubine Lan's beauty, they will all imitate her. Concubine Lan will not vent her anger by killing the slaves." Xiao Linzi rolled his eyes and continued: "Actually, it's useless even if others know about it. Concubine Lan dug it back from the mountains of Nanyang. Not everyone has the opportunity to plant it."
"Concubine Lan only told one slave how to make the essence. Even if others have shame orchids, they still can't make the essence."
"As for the reason why Concubine Lan doesn't let others know, it must be a woman's self-esteem." Xiao Linzi shook his head and carefully loosened the soil for the shy orchid in the corner and stopped talking.
Lan Jinyan felt bored and played alone kicking stones, but she was not very interested.
Until the moon reached the branches, a pair of men's boots appeared in her field of vision.
She looked up happily and saw the person above her head. The stars in her eyes dimmed a bit, "It's you."
"Miss Yan, what are you doing here?" Mo An asked.
The emperor's announcement to confer the title of goddess has been made known to the world, but Mo An is still used to calling her that.
Lan Jinyan pointed to the closed imperial study room, "Just wait for brother."
She raised her head and looked at the sky for a while, thinking that it was already so late. Isn't the emperor hungry? She asked her brother to talk, and she would have finished talking in half a lifetime.
Even the small forest where the flowers were planted was gone. She seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
Mo An's face was full of black lines, "The second prince has left a long time ago. He can't find you anywhere. Let me come in and take a look."
"left?"
"Brother asked Yan Yan to wait, but Yan Yan didn't go anywhere, and he actually left?" Lan Jinyan jumped up from the ground, in disbelief.
Mo An had to lower his voice and explain, "In order to find you last night, the second prince did not hesitate to mobilize a mysterious force. Now that force is being targeted, the second prince has to deal with it personally. That's why he asked me to come here to find you."
"So that's it." Lan Jinyan pointed to the closed door of the palace again, with doubts in her eyes, "The door wasn't even opened, and someone got out under the ground?"
"Miss Yan, please look clearly. This is the back door of the imperial study. Why did you go to the back door when you had nothing to do?"
Mo An was helpless.
"back door?"
Lan Jinyan quickly walked around to the front door and ran back, wanting to cry but without tears.
"Why do the front and back doors of the imperial study look exactly the same?" God knows, she walked around the imperial study countless times and ended up at the back door by accident.
"Wrong!" Mo An raised an index finger and shook it, "All the doors in the palace look the same."
Lan Jinyan: "······"
"Okay, Miss Yan, it's not appropriate to stay in the palace for a long time. Leave quickly."
Mo An took her out of the palace smoothly.
Riding a horse and galloping all the way, when passing by the street where Lan Shu was abandoned that day, Lan Jinyan's eyes flashed slightly and she subconsciously asked: "Where is this place?"
"This is the end of Qinglong Street. Since it's getting late, I'll take you a shortcut back."
Mo An thought she was asking why she didn't take the main road, so he patiently explained to her.
Qingyun Street?
Lan Jinyan silently recited these words in her heart, her lips tightening.
Taking shortcuts is fast. A quarter of an hour later, the two of them had arrived at the gate of the Second Prince's Mansion.
She stared blankly at the words "Second Prince's Mansion" that were prominently displayed on the plaque, thoughtfully.
It seems like she has been to this place before.
Not only have I been here, I have stayed there, and I was not happy.
A series of curses, comments, and the sound of objects being thrown sounded in her ears, followed by a wave of strange yet familiar memories that flooded into her mind, stinging every nerve in her and causing her body to sway unsteadily.
Mo An handed the horse to the concierge and turned around to see Lan Jinyan still standing there stupidly. He couldn't help but urge softly, "Miss Yan, come in."
When Lan Jinyan heard the voice, she slowly raised her head, tears already streaming down her face.
She met Mo An's surprised gaze and forced a smile, "Mo An."
Then his vision went dark, and he fainted at the door of the mansion.
It seemed that the moment before she lost consciousness, she saw Xuanyuan Qing running toward her in a panic.
Lan Jinyan was woken up at noon on the third day.
"Didn't you say that she was overworked and would be fine after just one night's sleep? Why is it that it has been almost two days and there is still no sign of waking up?"
Xuanyuan Qing pinched the imperial doctor's neck and asked sternly.
If he couldn't explain why, his head would be broken at any time.
Imperial Doctor Liang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He was an old imperial physician in the palace, and he could handle all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. The girl on the bed was really tired, so she just needed a good sleep.
He didn't know why she still hadn't woken up after almost two days.
"Second Prince, please forgive me. The girl is just weak and exhausted. Maybe she will wake up tonight, no, tomorrow."
"When will you wake up?" Xuanyuan Qing lost patience and kept tightening his grip.
Mo An saw that Imperial Doctor Liang was taking less air in and out more, so he had no choice but to step forward and persuade him: "Second Prince, Miss Yan's breathing is stable, and she doesn't look like something is wrong. Just wait a little longer. If that doesn't work, I'll kill him again tonight." .”
