The queen cried the whole harem

Ji Yan touched her face with her hand, smiled, and said, "I don't know what kind of woman Chen Dongyan likes. My appearance is after that of my mother. I look gentle and lovely, but in fact I am not very gentle."

After saying that, he winked mischievously at Sheridan.

Sheridan had a strange feeling in her heart. Logically speaking, Ji Yan was considered her love rival. She didn't say how much she was hostile to her, but she definitely didn't like her either.

In fact, when he came, Sheridan asked a lot about Ji Yan.

Ji Yan was indeed naughty when she was a child, but very smart.

Four years ago, no, I should say six years ago, during the Battle of Bobeiguan, Ji Yan was able to tinker with poison at an ignorant age, and after tinkering with the poison, she boldly went to deal with the soldiers of the Jiang Kingdom, which was enough to see that she of courage.

What happened next actually had nothing to do with her.

In Sheridan's view, Ji Yan is an unsung hero.

It was just because of the death of Ji Yan's parents that her reputation as a hero was stained.

Maybe others think Ji Yan did something wrong, but Sheridan doesn't think Ji Yan did something wrong.

Later, Ji Yan went to live in the mountains alone, choosing to stay away was a sign of compromising her brother.

It's a compromise, but isn't it love?
Ji Yan must love her brother very much, and she doesn't want her brother to be sad or embarrassed, otherwise Ji Yan can live in Ji Mansion all the time, and Ji Ruizhang can't do anything to her.

Of course, hearing about it is one thing, but actually meeting a real person is another.

Ji Yan is indeed gentle and pleasant, with a gentle face like a Jiangnan water town, but her naughty words, her naughty behavior of winking at her, and her bold poisoning of Jiang Guo's military camp six years ago Her actions were enough to show that she was not as gentle as she appeared on her face.

Sheridan is a martial arts practitioner, and she doesn't like that kind of dogmatic woman who speaks and does things strictly.

Seeing Ji Yan like this, Sheridan really couldn't help but hate her.

Sheridan sighed inwardly, thinking, forget it, although she likes Chen Dongyan, to be honest, she can't do that kind of thing of deliberately targeting Ji Yan and deliberately hating Ji Yan.

Just because Ji Yan dared to poison Jiang Guo's military camp six years ago, Sheridan felt that Ji Yan was worthy of Chen Dongyan.

Originally, in Sheridan's heart, there were really few people in the world who were worthy of Chen Dongyan.

Chen Dongyan is so powerful and good, and a woman who can match him must be a very beautiful and powerful person.

But after seeing Ji Yan, Sheridan thought again, in fact, it doesn't need to be unparalleled, nor does it need to be very powerful, as long as you are kind-hearted and dare to do something.

Sheridan smiled and said, "It's just right. I'm not gentle either. We will definitely get along in the future."

Chen Dongyan was originally worried that Sherdan would say some weird words. After all, Sherdan liked him. Not only was it known to everyone, but at least the Xie family and the Chen family in Guiyang City knew it, and he himself knew it.

Sherdan suddenly traveled thousands of miles to come to Bobei Pass, not even a year later. She came not only because she was worried about him, but also wanted to take a look at him so that she could feel at ease. She came because of Ji Yan.

Chen Dongyan knew Sheridan's intention when he heard Butler Chen say Sheridan's name.

Getting close to Ji Yan in front of Sheridan was also done for Sheridan to see.

Sheridan is a smart man, and he must have understood after seeing the closeness between him and Ji Yan.

But it might not be possible to make Sheridan dislike him for a moment.

Chen Dongyan was still thinking that during these few days of the Chinese New Year, he would completely make Sheridan give up.

But Chen Dongyan was also worried that if he was too close to Ji Yan, Sheridan would become jealous and become hostile or secretly do something to hurt Ji Yan.

But the scene in front of him made Chen Dongyan feel that maybe he was overthinking.

Sheridan is open-minded, or maybe she doesn't like him that much, so she can say that she and Ji Yan get along well.

But whether this is true or false is not yet certain.

After spending a few days together during the Chinese New Year, I knew it.

In any case, when Sheridan and Ji Yan met, they had a pleasant conversation, and Chen Dongyan was still very happy.

Chen Dongyan said: "Dinner is not ready yet, Yan'er, go and prepare a place for Erdan to stay. Since she came here in her thirties, she will definitely celebrate the New Year here."

Ji Yan nodded: "Okay."

She went back to the West Courtyard and cleaned up a clean yard next to the Chuntang Courtyard where she lived. Then she asked Chunyu and Chunsi to clean up a clean bedroom, put a charcoal basin and lit the charcoal first. When Sheridan came in at night, the bedroom was very warm.

While Ji Yan was busy with this, Chen Dongyan was chatting with Sheridan, asking about the situation of the Xie family and also asked Xie Jingli.

Then he asked Sheridan when he would return to Yangcheng.

Sheridan asked, "When will my cousin go back?"

Chen Dongyan said: "Let's go on the [-]th. I plan to go back before the Lantern Festival. During the Lantern Festival, I will take Ji Yan to visit Guiyang City. She has not been to Guiyang City and has not seen anyone in Guiyang City." Lantern Festival.”

Sheridan looked at Chen Dongyan. When Chen Dongyan talked about Ji Yan, he might not have even noticed that his expression became gentle.

There were no outsiders here, and Sheridan did not shy away from her, saying, "You have never been so considerate to a woman, nor have you ever been so gentle."

Chen Dongyan raised his eyebrows and thought, no?

In fact, there is, but that woman does not belong to him, and he does not dare to hope for it.

Chen Dongyan said: "You will also meet a man who is gentle to you in the future."

Sheridan was heartbroken and smiled bitterly: "Cousin, are you really not afraid that I will be sad?"

Chen Dongyan said: "You are a good girl, and you deserve a man to treat you wholeheartedly."

Sheridan shrugged. She had liked Chen Dongyan for so many years. Even if she decided not to like him, she would never fall in love with another man so quickly.

Besides, good men are not so easy to find.

Feelings don’t come so quickly.

Sheridan said: "At first, I heard the news about my cousin, and also heard that my cousin was engaged to Ji Yan. After I found out that Ji Yan saved you, I once suspected that you were doing it to thank Ji Yan for saving your life. In other words, it was Ji Yan who knew your identity and used the favor of repaying her kindness to force you to marry her on the pretext of saving her life."

"I'm worried that this marriage is not of your own volition, cousin, so I plan to come here in person. Firstly, I want to see my cousin and make sure you are okay. Secondly, I am thinking that if this marriage is not of your own volition, then I will do whatever I can. Those who disturbed this marriage."

"But now it seems that cousin you like Ji Yan quite a lot, and you haven't shown any rejection of this marriage, so I can rest assured. Cousin, your happiness is what I hope most, although this happiness is not mine. I brought it to you, but I still sincerely wish you well and hope that you and Ji Yan can live in harmony and happiness for a lifetime."

Chen Dongyan also said sincerely: "Thank you very much."

By this time, Chen Dongyan was completely relieved.

For Sheridan to say this means that she has really let go of her obsession with him.

Ji Yan had tidied up the yard, and as soon as she came over, Mrs. Ji sent someone to tell her to go to the dining hall for dinner, so the three of them followed.

Chunyu and Chunsi had dinner with the servants.

There were not many people in the dining hall. Ji Xianjiang, Mrs. Ji, Ji Ruizhang, and Ji Bingru were married. Those who didn't come back on New Year's Eve would only come back to pay New Year greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Now Chen Dongyan, Ji Yan, and Sheridan are here, and there are only six of them.

The six people sat down one after another.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the meal was very sumptuous.The most eye-catching thing is the large pot of steaming mutton soup.

Looking at the heat and smelling the fragrance, my mouth is watering.

Ji Xianjiang said: "Let's all eat. After dinner, our elders will go to watch the New Year's Eve, and you young ones will go out to play."

He first picked up the chopsticks and asked Chen Dongyan and Sheridan to use their chopsticks.

After Chen Dongyan and Sheridan picked up their chopsticks, Mrs. Ji, Ji Ruizhang, and Ji Yan picked up their chopsticks.

The six of them started to eat and chatted during the period. Basically, Ji Yan and Sheridan were chatting. Ji Yan asked about things in Guiyang City. Ji Ruizhang sometimes interjected a few words. Ji Xianjiang and Mrs. Ji listened with smiles. Chen Dongyan occasionally I will also add a few words, and the atmosphere is very good.

After dinner, Ji Xianjiang and Mrs. Ji went to watch the New Year's Eve.

Ji Ruizhang returned to the west courtyard, got into the pharmacy, and went to pound the medicinal materials.

Ji Yan is not in the mood to go out for fun. Recently, she and Ji Ruizhang have joined forces to research an antidote. Since Ji Ruizhang has gone to the pharmacy, Ji Yan will also go.

But Ji Yan also knew that tonight was New Year's Eve. She didn't know if Chen Dongyan wanted to go out, so she asked Chen Dongyan first: "Do you want to go out for a walk? New Year's Eve in Bobiguan may not be as fun as Guiyang City, so It’s not as prosperous as Guiyang City, but it still has its own characteristics.”

Sheridan asked curiously: "What are the characteristics?"

Just as Ji Yan was about to respond, Chen Dongyan said first, "I won't go out. There will be many opportunities in the future. I will accompany you to the pharmacy."

Then he said to Sheridan: "Every pass has been safe recently. If Jiang Guo wants to negotiate peace, he will not cause trouble at this time. In addition, you are good at martial arts. You will be fine walking around Bobei Pass alone. You It's a rare trip, so it's time to go shopping. If you don't want to go shopping alone, then let Butler Chen accompany you, and I won't accompany you."

Sheridan really wanted to visit Bobiguan on New Year's Eve, as it was a rare occasion, but Ji Yan didn't accompany her, and Chen Dongyan didn't accompany her either, which immediately reduced her interest by more than half.

Sheridan asked, "Do you have anything to do?"

Chen Dongyan hummed and said nothing.

Ji Yan said truthfully: "My brother and I have been developing an antidote for many years. In the past few days, there seems to be hope, so..."

When Sheridan heard this, he immediately understood that Ji Yan was talking about six years ago, when she poisoned Jiang soldiers and killed her parents.

It turns out that Ji Yan has been developing antidotes for these years.

Also, even if Sheridan felt that the incident was not Ji Yan's fault, Ji Yan would definitely still blame herself.

The death of her parents was like a haze weighing on Ji Yan's heart.

Even though Dr. Ji and Mrs. Ji have passed away and it is useless to develop the antidote, developing the antidote is like completing something that should have been done.

This is her heart and her mission.

Sheridan stepped forward and hugged Ji Yan: "Then you guys get busy. I'll ask Butler Chen to accompany me for a walk on the street. I just arrived today and I'm tired. I won't walk around for too long. Let's take a look at Bobei Pass. I’m back to see what it’s like on New Year’s Eve.”

Ji Yan nodded: "I'm so sorry, I was supposed to accompany you."

Sheridan smiled and said: "There will be another chance in the future. When you and your cousin get married, you can take me with you when you go back to Bo Beiguan to get married. Then we can go shopping together."

Ji Yan smiled and said, "Okay."

Sheridan let go of Ji Yan, waved to Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan, and went to find Butler Chen, asking him to accompany her to visit the streets of Bobiguan.

Butler Chen went to ask Ji Ruizhang and Ji Yan for permission. After receiving their consent, he immediately accompanied Sheridan out.

Ji Yan and Chen Dongyan went to the backyard of the pharmacy together.

As soon as he stepped in, he heard Ji Ruizhang shout happily: "It seems to have been successful."

Ji Yan's face immediately showed surprise. She ran over quickly and asked, "Brother, have you developed the antidote?"

Ji Ruizhang handed the prepared pills to Ji Yan: "Smell it to see the medicinal ingredients, right?"

Ji Yan took the pill and smelled it. She was excited at first, but slowly, her face fell.

When Ji Ruizhang saw her little face slumped, he immediately became nervous and asked, "Is it still wrong?"

Ji Yan didn't say anything, thought for a moment, then suddenly turned around and ran into the pharmacy, where she rummaged through the boxes and cabinets.

Ji Ruizhang followed.

Chen Dongyan followed.

Ji Yan searched for a long time and finally found the medicinal materials she thought were most suitable.

She took out the medicinal material, took some other medicinal materials, ground them, and made them into pills.

By the time all this was done, it was already two hours later.

Ji Yan suppressed the excitement in her heart and face, and handed the pills to Ji Ruizhang: "Brother, this should be right."

Ji Ruizhang took the pill from Ji Yan's hand, held it under his nose and smelled it. He was not sure and said, "How about giving it a try?"

Ji Yan nodded: "Of course I want to try."

Ji Yan asked Chen Dongyan to catch two mice. Both mice were fed the same poison as before, and then the two mice were given the pills just developed by Ji Ruizhang, and then the pills Ji Yan had just made.

In order to distinguish them, a black string was tied to the leg of the mouse that took Ji Ruizhang's pills, and a red string was tied to the leg of the mouse that took Ji Yan's pills.

Afterwards, the two mice were placed in an empty box to see their reactions.

There is a process for poisoning, and there is also a process for antidote.

About half an hour later, the results came out.

The mouse with the black string tied to its leg died, but the mouse with the red string tied to its leg was still alive and kicking.

Ji Yan looked at this scene and was so excited that she almost cried.

She murmured: "I have developed an antidote. I finally made the antidote."

Tears fell down as he spoke.

Ji Ruizhang looked at her silently, walked over and hugged her.

Ji Ruizhang's eyes were also red and wet.

This is not Ji Yan's knot, this is also the haze that has been weighing on Ji Ruizhang's heart for so many years and has not been able to get rid of.

Although my parents have passed away and cannot come back, as a child, I cannot detoxify my parents. This is so sad.

Now that the antidote is available, it seems that the haze in my heart has also dissipated.

Next year at his parents' graves, he can say: "Father, mother, you can rest in peace."

Okay, I finally finished writing this knot. On the last day of New Year's Eve, Ji Yan will be reborn, Ji Ruizhang will also be relieved, and this pair of brothers and sisters will usher in spring.

Hehe, do you want to assign Sheridan to Ji Ruizhang?
