Chapter 40 Stay

"I'm singing!" She replied without even thinking about it. In fact, she couldn't sing, it's just that the soul-absorbing curse sounded like she was singing!
Li Huai had already come to her side, with a suspicious look on his face. "Sing a song?"

In the middle of the night, he was really intrigued, he had also noticed that she was holding something in her hand, and seeing that Long Xilan was deliberately covering it up, it seemed that she didn't want him to see what it was.

"What are you holding in your hand?"

Long Xilan cleared her throat, and generously spread the sachet in the palm of her hand. "My sachet."

This close-fitting object originally belonged to Ji Jinhua, and the exquisitely embroidered orchid flower was also embroidered by Ji Jinhua before his death.

Li Huai really saw the orchid at a glance, "I heard that you are good at embroidery, it seems to be true."

She was afraid that if she continued to speak, she would show her flaws, so she hurriedly explained her purpose.

"Jin Hua is here specially to wait for the prince to come back!"

When the other party heard this, his sword eyebrows were raised slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Oh? What's the matter?"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the room, only when the candle light came from inside, Long Xilan was able to see that his lips were a bit black, as if blown by the cold wind.

"I went to the west chamber to see the cook Chunlan just now. She was frightened and went crazy. I heard from Yan Ming that your lord ordered to send her to Dali Temple tomorrow morning, so I want to plead for her!" The sound woke Qinglian up. Seeing them coming in, Qinglian immediately lowered her head and waited outside the room. Before leaving, she even closed the door.

Li Huai didn't answer her immediately, but turned around and saw her following in, her eyes were a little dazed, Long Xilan felt that something was wrong, so she asked, "Is your lord feeling unwell?"

He shook his head, walked to the table, poured out the tea that had gone cold in the pot, and drank it in two sips!
Long Xilan hurriedly said: "I'll ask Qinglian to make a hot pot!"

"No need!" Li Huai took a deep breath, her expression was still not very good-looking, she thought to herself, the other party must be upset that she ran over in the middle of the night to intercede for a trivial cook.With Li Huai's temperament, he doesn't want to be influenced easily.

"Do you think she is innocent?" Li Huai put down his teacup and asked in a calm voice.

"I didn't leave a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake that night, so I can't verify that the drug was put in the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Besides, she is a little cook, why did she attack me?"

Hearing what she said, Li Huai gently supported the table with his hands and explained patiently: "Of course, this king has found her motive to harm you. This Liu Chunlan has been working in the palace for many years. After the incident happened that night, he ordered someone to interrogate her." She, of course she didn't recognize her, but the king found out that her deceased husband was a soldier under General Ji's command. He was ridiculed, fought with others and was beaten to death!"

In other words, Chunlan is likely to blame General Ji for her late husband's death, and she is now General Ji's 'daughter', and her motive for harming her due to pain and hatred is indeed valid.

But what about the life-threatening Ning Wanzhu?Is it just a coincidence?

At this time, Li Huai said softly, "Also, Yan Ming collected a lot of filth from her house!"

Long Xilan looked over: "What are they?"

Why are tears flowing from Li Huai's eyes?Didn't you talk about filthy things? You shouldn't be so angry that you cry, right?

Only then did she affirm that he didn't show his face because he was angry, but in fact he was not feeling well.

"My lord!" She immediately walked over and reached out to touch his forehead until it was hot. "Your body is hot from the wind and cold!"

There was worry in her eyes, and the moment she stretched her hand back, she realized that her behavior was inappropriate. How could a lady of a great family touch a man's skin at will?

"It's okay, I don't want to disturb other people, I'll be fine after a night of rest, you go back!" Fortunately, Li Huai didn't pay much attention because he was uncomfortable.

The matter of the cook has shown that she is not innocent, and she doesn't need to intercede again, but it is known that Li Huai is not in good health, and it is because of saving her that she did this, she can't just go back like this, right?She immediately held up the hem of her skirt and went outside to find Qinglian, wanting her to recruit Xue Pingan.

Before the door opened, I heard a voice from behind: "Mother's concubine's old illness has relapsed, and she was taken into the palace safely by this king!"

Long Xilan was dumbfounded for a moment, Xue Pingan was the only doctor in this courtyard, without him, who would help Li Huai to reduce his fever?
"You don't have to worry, you can go back to sleep, this little aggravation can still be resisted!" Li Huai was still sitting on that chair with her back straight, but no matter how she looked at it, Long Xilan felt that it was an act .

She said firmly: "No, Jin Hua immediately send someone to the city to invite other doctors over!"

"If you really do this, the whole capital will know that the king is seriously ill..."

Long Xilan was reminded by this, she stopped in her tracks, and looked back at him, what do you mean by wanting your name but not your life?This is!
"But--"

"If you're really worried, stay here!" Li Huai said casually, and for some reason, she felt her heart beat faster!Can you not speed up, Lord Bingshan grants her to stay in his bedroom!It looks really burnt out!
