Chapter 303 A Secret Kiss

"Oh?"

Upon hearing that the prescription was given by Jiang Yuyue, Song Jinglan's lips curled up into a smile. She reached out and took the prescription, then paused, noticing that Jiang Feili was still standing to the side. She deliberately said, "It's a pity, she arranged this just for me, so there's no share for you."

Jiang Feili rolled her eyes inwardly at his appearance, sighing that this person was hopeless. Just a few prescriptions had made him so beautiful.

However, his eyes glanced at Song Jinglan's bowl, and after seeing the ingredients inside, he couldn't help but click his tongue twice.

Ginseng? Donkey-hide gelatin? Glutinous rice? Red dates?

Jiang Feili's tone carried a deeper meaning, "These are all highly nourishing ingredients. Her Majesty the Empress had the Imperial Kitchen prepare such a breakfast dish so early this morning, it seems..."

These words immediately caused Song Jinglan's expression to change slightly, even though he had been feeling somewhat smug.

Jiang Yuyue, unaware of what happened after the imperial kitchen delivered breakfast, was preoccupied with what treasure was inside the wooden box. She immediately ordered Jasmine to find the box. When the key was inserted, with a soft "click," the wooden box, which she had previously tried various methods to open but failed, was finally opened.

Jiang Yuyue had been looking forward to what was inside, thinking that this was something Song Yunming had gone to great lengths to obtain, so she guessed that it was either a treasure worth a fortune or a treasure map. But she didn't expect that after the wooden box was opened, there were only two small porcelain bottles inside.

What is this?

Jiang Yuyue frowned, took the two small porcelain bottles in her hands and looked at them over and over again, but she couldn't figure out what was going on. She shook them slightly and could faintly hear the sound of water.

It should contain liquid.

This made Jiang Yuyue even more confused. Could it be that there was some kind of elixir for prolonging life inside?

She tentatively opened the porcelain bottle, took a sniff, but couldn't detect any medicinal herbs.

So what exactly is this?

Jiang Yuyue really didn't expect that the treasure that Song Yunming had tried so hard to snatch was actually these two inexplicable little porcelain bottles. He had paid so much just to snatch this.

However, to be honest, Song Yunming probably didn't know that the wooden box would contain such a strange thing. Perhaps he didn't know what was inside at all, but just heard that it was valuable and tried to steal it.

But now that Song Yunming is dead, Jiang Yuyue has no way of knowing what he was thinking at the time, so she can only put the two small porcelain bottles back into the wooden box.

However, looking at it now, Song Jinglan's previous nonchalant attitude towards this item was indeed not an act. After all, he only opened it many years after he ascended the throne. Even though it was not used, he still sat firmly on the throne.

However, it was impossible not to be curious about what the liquid inside the small porcelain bottle was. Since she couldn't figure out what it was, Jiang Yuyue decided to ask an expert.

Lian Mo comes from Medicine King Valley, so there is no medicinal herb in this world that he has not seen. Perhaps if this thing is given to him to study, he may be able to find out its details.

However, now that she is the Empress, she naturally cannot go out at will, so she still needs to inform Song Jinglan about this matter.

Judging that the morning court session had already ended, Jiang Yuyue hurried to the Imperial Study. As soon as she entered, Song Jinglan's brows relaxed when he saw that it was her. Even so, she still keenly sensed a slight displeasure in his eyes.

The porridge that the imperial kitchen had sent over that morning was originally excellent, but Jiang Feili's malicious interpretation made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. However, in front of Song Jinglan, he naturally wouldn't refuse her kindness.

"what happened?"

Song Jinglan put down the vermilion brush in her hand, her tone casual, "Could it be that you've already missed me after only a short time apart?"

Upon hearing this, Jixiang's expression became somewhat subtle. She quickly bowed and withdrew, silently closing the door behind her.

"Of course I miss you."

Jiang Yuyue went along with him and, without beating around the bush, directly stated the purpose of her trip.

"I have some matters to attend to. Would you be so kind as to allow me to leave the palace for a while?"

These words made the smile in Song Jinglan's eyes freeze. It was only the second day after she was crowned empress, and she was already planning to leave the palace.

Thinking about Jiang Yuyue's overtures last night and today, Song Jinglan couldn't help but wonder if she was deliberately trying to please him in order to get him to agree to let her leave the palace.

"Leaving the palace? Why leave the palace? Is there something important?"

Song Jinglan became somewhat wary, but tried to keep her tone calm, "If you want to go out for some fresh air, I'll accompany you out of the palace in a bit."

Seeing him suddenly raise such a series of questions, Jiang Yuyue knew that he probably still didn't trust her. However, since she was going to see Lian Mo, if she told him the truth, given Song Jinglan's jealous nature, he would definitely not agree.

"It's nothing important, I just need to take care of something outside the palace."

Jiang Yuyue spoke vaguely, "It will probably take several days, and I can't say for sure how long it will take to get back."

These words made Song Jinglan's eyes darken, and he stared intently at her.

Could it be that life in the palace is making her unhappy, and she's trying to escape again by using the same old tricks?

Seeing the wariness in his eyes, Jiang Yuyue roughly guessed what he was thinking. She couldn't help but sigh. It was true that she had lied to people too much before. Now, even the slightest move she made made Song Jinglan so nervous.

"do not worry."

Jiang Yuyue stepped forward and hooked her arm around his, softening her tone as she spoke, "I really have important business to attend to this time, and I'll be back in just a few days. If you're worried, you can send someone to follow me. Besides, now that I'm your empress, what more could I ask for? How could I possibly run away?"

Jiang Yuyue's words made sense, but Song Jinglan was still a little scared when he thought of how she had hidden away from him before. However, he was unwilling to give her even this much trust. After some internal struggle, he finally relented and agreed to the matter.

"You may leave the palace, but wait a few days. Otherwise, if the people in the palace find out that you, the empress, have only been in office for a few days and have already been away for several days without returning, where will I put my face?"

Jiang Yuyue thought she would have to coax and plead to get what she wanted, but she was surprised that Song Jinglan was so easy to talk to. She was overjoyed and immediately hugged his neck and kissed him twice on the cheek.
