Phoenix Duchess - C11

Dong Ling Wan naturally took Dong Ling Yu’s matter to heart. She sent Xiao Gan and his entourage away at noon and invited a trustworthy doctor to her house in the afternoon. However, after the doctor finished looking at the dregs, Dong Ling Wan’s face changed, and Dong Ling Wan’s heart rose to her throat, “How is it?”

The doctor’s face was extremely ugly, and Dong Ling Wan became increasingly apprehensive. She hastily replied, “Just speak your mind.”

“This is …” The medicine of tigers and wolves. ”

“What!” Even though she was prepared, she was still shocked.

In the past, when the nobles of the palace were ill and in danger of death, some imperial physicians used this medicine to protect their lives, making them look as if they were completely cured. However, this medicine consumed a lot of people’s lifespan, and only after someone discovered that there was something fishy about it, was the wind stopped. In Da Ye, this kind of medicine was strictly prohibited from being used. The old doctor shivered.

If he found out about the secret of the Gao Clan, then his life would be … After sneaking a glance at Dong Ling Wan, he realized that her gaze was deep. The old doctor was so scared that he immediately kneeled down. “Second Miss, please spare this old man’s life. This old man knows nothing!”

Dong Ling Wan narrowed her eyes, a hint of hesitation in her eyes. This person knew too much. If he said anything about it, then it would all be over. However, to make things difficult for an old man was truly an insult. Dong Ling Wan took a deep breath. “This is a grave crime in the execution of the nine clans. I don’t need to say it, I know what to do, right?”

When the old doctor heard this, he knew that she had let him off, so he quickly made a promise. Dong Ling Wan frowned and ordered the old doctor to be escorted out of the house.

Eastern Ling Wan looked at the medicinal dregs on the table and felt a headache coming on. It seemed like the emperor didn’t have much time, but what should his sister do? According to the rules, a concubine without a son was to be buried alive!

This day, Eastluck Wan woke up very early. Outside, the sun had already risen. Standing by the window, they could see Xue Tingyu and her people carefully beating down the locust flowers in Qinxiang Courtyard. It was very quiet at this moment, and even the slightest noise could be clearly heard. Dong Lingwan was already on fire due to this incident, and when she heard the noise from the other side, she felt that it was too noisy, so she changed into a new set of clothes and left the house.

However, what Dong Ling Wan didn’t know was that after she left, a glint of light flashed past her eyes as she admired the snow. After saying a few words to the person next to her, she also left the mansion and whispered something to a servant girl.

There were not many people on the street at the moment, and some of the morning hawkers set up their stalls. Seeing Dong Ling Wan walk past them, they began to shout, and Dong Ling Wan bought a sugar figurine and leisurely strolled down the street with it in her hand. Occasionally, a line of patrolling soldiers would glance at her with a strange look, thinking, it’s true, early in the morning, a well-dressed girl is wandering alone in the street, anyone would want to look at her more.

Eastern Ling Wan didn’t care about him at all. It had been a long time since she had been so free. In the past, Dong Haojie was worried about her, so he always arranged for people to follow her. Dong Ling Wan felt uncomfortable, so she decided to stay with Dong Yi Chuan, and now that Dong Yi Chuan was leading his troops, it was rare for them to return home. Dong Hao Jie was busy, and it was even more difficult for Dong Hao Jie to see her in the palace.

“Ah …” This little girl is being rude! ”

Dong Ling Wan’s face turned slightly red, and inwardly, she blamed herself for being stupid. She lowered her head, but that person snorted lightly, and a gentle voice came from above her: “Looks like it’s not suitable to walk, Second Miss Dong is so wide, and yet we still bumped into people.”

Eastern Ling Wan heard this voice and shuddered, raising her head, but didn’t expect to bump into his chin. Eastern Ling Wan felt a pain, and hurriedly jumped away, stroking her aching head as she looked up at Xiao Qian. He held the open fan to cover half his face, and frowned slightly in displeasure.

“I… Visit… Greetings Young Master Xiao. ” When she saw that he didn’t have any attendants with him, she guessed that he didn’t want to reveal his identity, so she quickly changed her mind. She glanced at the hawker not far away out of the corner of her eyes, and only withdrew her gaze when she saw that he didn’t have any reaction.

“It’s early in the morning, but Second Young Miss Dong is rather free.” Xiao Qian raised his eyebrows and put away the folding fan in his hand. He placed the handle of the fan under her arm and helped her up. Since Dong Ling Wan couldn’t figure out what he meant, she just kept silent.

“I replied that you became like this just by saying a few words. Are you the only one who is wrong? “Looking at your usual appearance, I didn’t think that you would actually love these kids.” Xiao Qian’s gaze shifted to the side. Surprisingly, there was a small sugar figurine lying on the brick road.

“Ling Wan is lost in her own thoughts. How can I blame Young Master Xiao?” Dong Ling Wan was still holding her breath as she thought about what happened yesterday. She really wanted to stay far away from him. It really was a bad day to go out today, meeting a fiend!

“Are you lost? Do you think that I won’t be able to see the road even if you walk? Don’t you suspect that I intentionally bumped into you? ” Xiao Qian still had a faint smile on his face as if he were asking a question. It was as if he was joking with someone he was familiar with and was especially amiable. However, Dong Ling Wan didn’t have a good impression of him and didn’t reply.

Seeing that she seemed to have given up, Xiao Qian walked over to a stall by the side of the road. Eastern Ling Wan was a bit confused. Xiao Qian took out a candy and handed it to her. “I’ll return it to you.” Seeing that Dong Ling Wan was frowning, Xiao Qian continued, “Keep it, otherwise, how are you going to arrange me?”

Dong Ling Wan had no choice but to accept it. The two of them fell silent, Xiao Qian continued walking forward, and Dong Ling Wan could only follow. Dong Ling Wan had no choice but to accept it, and the two of them fell silent.

“Who dares to cause trouble under the watch of the Emperor?”

“Peace and prosperity.” He didn’t know if it was because of Dong Ling Wan’s imagination, but when she heard him chuckle, it sounded as if he was disdainful, but she felt that this disdain wasn’t directed at her. Just as Dong Ling Wan was considering whether she should continue, Xiao Qian suddenly changed the topic, “It’s not easy to get into trouble, but you can’t avoid talking, aren’t you afraid of ruining your reputation?”

“Ling Wan’s consideration is lacking, thank you Young Master Xiao for your advice.”

Dong Ling Wan walked half a step behind Xiao Qian, thinking that he was going to bring up the matter of her and the House of the Marquis again. However, Xiao Qian didn’t expect him to close his mouth and ask about it, causing her to be at a loss, “I’m afraid that Second Miss didn’t come out this early for the sake of this candy.”

“There’s something wrong with the account, so I came to take a look. I didn’t want to come out too early.” If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have come out so early to relax. She didn’t want to talk about her own matters with him, so she immediately smiled and said, “On the other hand, Young Master Xiao, it’s natural that you’re unfamiliar with it when you first return to the Imperial Capital. You should bring a close servant along.”

“That’s not necessary. There are always things that are easy to change, but there are also always things that are not easy to change.”

Xiao Qian suddenly stopped and looked back. Dong Ling Wan had almost bumped into him again. Looking at the person in front of him, a faint smile forever hung on his lips, yet it seemed to be a little helpless and bitter. Dong Ling Wan slightly nodded her head. “Ling Wan, you are slow-witted.”

Xiao Qian shook his head and chuckled. He opened his fan and strolled forward, “In the future, if you have any inconvenience, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble Second Young Miss Dong.”

“With a prince, there’s no need to use Ling Wan.”

Since Xiao Qian had already spoken, there was no room for negotiation. It was just that her words were constantly being suppressed by him. This made her feel extremely upset, so even if she knew it was a waste of time, she still wouldn’t let him succeed so smoothly.

“His character really can’t be counted as such. I’m afraid that there will be quite a few things that I will have to trouble Second Miss with in the future.

Xiao Qian put away his smile and clasped his hands in a bow. It didn’t seem like he was faking it. How could Dong Ling Wan accept his bow? She immediately replied with all her blessings.

“He even said that he wouldn’t see his big cousin when he got up early. Who would have thought that he would meet such a beauty in private here.” My little sister is a treasure of a bunch of people, don’t even think about abducting her. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qian didn’t have much of a reaction. He still had a faint smile on his face. On the other hand, Dong Ling Wan had a helpless look on her face. “I am so free!”

“No, no, I’m not the most free one here!” Inspector Xiao took a fan and walked towards Xiao Qian with a smile on his face. His pretty eyes narrowed as he pointed the fan at Xiao Qian.

Only now did she realize that he and Xiao Qian were both holding a plain white fan, flat and unadorned.

“For the rest of the day, you will not allow me to live in peace. Carefully, I will tell you about the embarrassing events of your childhood.”

Xiao Xun waved his fan, the white lights on both sides of his face slowly moved, like a butterfly fluttering in the wind, “She doesn’t know how many more embarrassing things I can do, she’s been hanging out with Song Xiaosi all these years and has already gotten me to the bottom of it, I’m really broke now, so I’m not afraid of you talking, I’m afraid that you don’t have anything new to tell her!”

The two people on the other side were chatting amongst themselves when they turned around. When Eastern Ling Wan saw Xiao Xun’s serious expression, she smiled even more brightly, her petite face appearing especially bright. Even Xiao Qian couldn’t help but smile as he looked at her.

“What’s the bad idea of gathering here so early in the morning?” Song Jingyi walked over with a clean and light attire. She even spoke in a lazy tone, as if she was intentionally gritting her teeth.

“Speak of the devil, the devil is here.” Just as I was saying that you ruined Wan, I should have let the Senior Marquis punish you. ”

“A man is more talkative than a woman!” The corner of Song Jingyi’s mouth twitched in disdain, then she looked towards East Peak, “What are you strolling around for so early in the morning for? Do you find it too comfortable?”

Song Jingyi didn’t expect an answer from Dong Ling Wan, so she just waved her hand and told her that she and her family’s old man had a quarrel again and were moving to the Eastern Mansion for a period of time. Dong Ling Wan sighed helplessly, but was helpless.

After that, Song Jingyi pulled Dong Ling Wan along with her sugar in her mouth and called out to the two men behind her as she walked towards the East Mansion. It was as if they were not going to the East Mansion, but Marquis Rian’s Mansion. The two of them looked at each other and followed with big steps.

Inspector Xiao didn’t want to eat in the main hall. He insisted that the view of Eastern Lingwan’s attic was good and that he wanted to go up to the attic. Xiao Qian’s gaze flickered as he stood in front of the Concealed Treasure Pavilion. A bamboo pavilion that was four stories tall was a rare sight in this city, especially a woman’s pavilion. When he had first arrived, he had thought that it was the library.

Seeing the confusion in Xiao Qian’s eyes, Eastern Ling Wan began to explain, “Your Highness looks familiar. Ling Wan’s family had originally moved here from the Qi Province, so when we first built this mansion, they took it for granted …”

“I’ve heard of the Qi Dong family. The second young miss’ pavilion is rather elegant. Previously, I thought that it was a place for collecting books when I was at the side courtyard. ”

“That’s pretty good. She does have a lot of books in the attic.”

“Not only are there many books, there are also many accounts.” Song Jingyi added.

The rice porridge was made from extremely thick red beans and was served with a few small dishes. The porridge was sticky but not greasy. The small dishes were refreshing but not astringent, making one’s mouth taste fragrant.

“I haven’t come to your place for breakfast for a few months, my cooking skills have improved again.”

“I can’t eat, so I don’t say anything.”

Before Song Jingyi could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Xiao Qian. Song Jingyi wanted to retort, but Xiao Qian gave her a glance before she gradually fell silent. Dong Ling Wan glanced at the two of them and chuckled to herself as she thought, “Someone else is here to deal with Song Jingyi.”

The few of them did not leave. They rested at Eastern Ling Wan’s place until it was almost time to do so. The ingredients for the snow to bring in for the wine had already been prepared.

Xiao Xun wanted to learn, but was firmly rejected by Dong Ling Wan. A gentleman should be far from the kitchen, it wouldn’t be good if he didn’t enter the kitchen. If the princess found out, how could she explain it?

Song Jingyi insisted on joining in the fun, which scared Dong Ling Wan out of her wits. As long as this little ancestor didn’t help, it was fine! Since she couldn’t refuse, Dong Ling Wan asked Snowy to prepare a small jar for her, and the two of them busied themselves. Dong Ling Wan could feel that a gaze had been examining her without restraint. She couldn’t help but frown slightly, but didn’t raise her head.

After the four of them had finished burying the pots, it was already close to dusk. Dong Ling Wan sent the three to the door and watched as they left, but before long, Xiao Qian suddenly turned around. Dong Ling was stunned, and bowed to pay her respects.

Song Jingyi smiled and teased in her ear, “You can’t bear to part with it?”

Dong Ling Wan glared at her, Song Jingyi shut her mouth, and followed Dong Ling Wan to the room. Dong Ling Wan went back to the Xin Xiang Garden alone, listening to Yu Yu’s gentle footsteps, which didn’t hurt the branch. However, the white tree had already been replaced by emerald green, making it even more tall and straight, which made it worthy of the title ‘Jadeite Tree’.

The fragrance in the garden had faded, but it felt even more refreshing. The west sun had yet to set. The twilight was slightly yellow like the wheel of light above the Arhat. It was carried on the shoulders of the pavilion, yet it was magnificent and ephemeral. Dong Ling Wan closed her eyes, and her chest rose and fell gently. It was unknown if it was due to this short period of time or because she was intoxicated by this sweetness …
