When Li Yi and Qing'er came to serve her at dinner time, Yan Ling frowned at her.

"My injuries are fine. I can't just take the money and not do anything, right?" Li Jun giggled.

Yan Ling nodded. He cleared his throat and asked Qing'er, "Have you brought the medicine?"

"It's here. It's in the kitchen."

"Bring the furnace and licorice to my room."

"Huh?"

Qing'er was stunned when she saw the confused look on Yan Ling's face. Then, she looked at Li Yi for help.

Although he didn't know what his Young Miss was up to, Li Yi still supported Yan Ling 100%. He immediately said, "Whatever the Lady wants, you can do."

Qing'er left suspiciously, closing the door behind her.

"Miss, are you sick?"

Patting Li Jun's hand that was on her forehead, Yan Ling smiled and shook his head: "Not yet, but it will be soon."

Li Yi's clever brain immediately reacted to urge her: "Miss, you can't! If you really drink too much, even if you stop the third prince, the others won't dare to approach you. "

Placing his index finger on his mouth and making a gesture of silence, Yan Ling glanced at the door and softly said to Li Li: "I know my limits, so naturally I won't harm myself."

Li Yi wanted to urge her against it, but was cut off by her words.

"Can't you just watch while I boil the medicine?" Yan Ling chuckled lightly and got up to stretch. "Pack your things and boil some medicine for me."

Qing'er opened the door just in time to come in, Li puckered her lips together with her.

As Yan Shuang's spy, Qing'er felt that she had missed out on some big news. They took advantage of the time while they were carrying the plates to talk.

"Miss has put the furnace in her room. Who knows how hard it will be to boil the medicine, but you still won't persuade me."

"Persuading what? "He's the master, so if he wants you to do it, you can do it. If you say too much, your tongue will be pulled out from your mouth."

Hearing that, Qing'er swallowed her saliva and complained, "The smell of the medicine is really bad …" Did Miss say who she wanted to serve? "

"You took care of me for so long, so of course I have to return some of my money. You don't have to worry about making medicine in the future.

Qing'er happily left. After packing up, Li Yi entered the room and locked the door. She turned around and saw Yan Ling looking for something in his bag.

"Where's Qing'er?"

"I sent her to bed," Li Li quickly lit two more lamps and placed them on the table beside Yan Ling. "Miss, what are you looking for?"

She just so happened to flip it out, put away its bundle and smiled, then stood up and said: "Of course I'm going to be sick."

Li Yi frowned and asked uncertainly: "Is it not blood circulation that activates blood stasis? "Did I remember wrongly …"

After adjusting the amount of water in the furnace, Yan Ling casually threw it into the furnace. Smiling faintly, he said, "Of course the dosage is good. It's hard to say if you put it too much."

"What will happen?"

Seeing Li Yi's nervous expression, Yan Ling smiled and explained, "It's just that I'm going to get hot. Don't be in such a hurry. This time, nothing bad will happen to me."

However, since the third prince had invited them, there were two of them! Li Li wanted to retort, but she was afraid that she would drink even more.

Yan Ling knew what she was thinking and smiled wordlessly. The Third Prince's invitation was rejected because he was sick. She wanted to report the news that she was "really sick" to the Prime Minister's wife and Yan Shuang. Since there was no way to explain her plan, he decided not to explain.

An hour later, he poured out a bowl of medicinal soup with a heavy taste. Li Yi took out the candied fruit he had prepared for her, and stared unblinkingly at the medicine bowl.

He reached out his hand to pick up a paper bag and gave it to Li Yi as he said, "Go and take care of the licorice. I'll drink the medicine myself."

Li Yi looked at her worriedly, nodded, and walked out.

In the blink of an eye, the second day arrived.

Qing'er carried the basin into the house and approached the bed to wake her up.

"Second Miss sent a message saying that if Miss is unable to get up, she won't be able to make it in time."

Qing'er pinched her nose and curled her lips in disgust. Suddenly, she realized that Yan Ling was blushing and didn't say a word. She nervously touched Yan Ling's forehead.

"Li Yi! Call the doctor! "

After a short while, the Flowery Courtyard was surrounded by people. The white-bearded doctor was frowning as he checked Yan Ling's pulse.

Vaguely hearing her "mother" Su Shi's voice, he asked her what kind of illness she was suffering from.

"Eldest Miss must have been poisoned …"

"What nonsense?" Madam Su rebuked, "It's just daylight. Does she have any grudges against anyone?"

After the doctor was scolded by her, he checked his pulse and said in a measured tone: "Miss has caught a cold, have you had any news recently?"

Thinking of yesterday's wind, Madam Su frowned as she thought about yesterday's palace banquet. Why was she the only one sick when so many people had gone?

He then realized what had happened and impatiently said to the doctor, "The prescription."

The doctor hastened to leave, wrote down his prescription, and left.

Yan Ling slowly opened his eyes and saw Yan Shuang using a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose as if she was afraid of getting sick.

"It's all my fault that I had an uncomfortable throat yesterday and insisted on making my own licorice soup. Otherwise, I wouldn't be doing this today …"

When Yan Shuang heard this, she hurriedly put down the handkerchief and comforted him with a look of deep sisterly affection, "Don't worry, just take care of yourself."

"I'm talking about the smell of medicine," she sent someone to grab the medicine. Madam Su frowned as she looked at Yan Ling. "What a coincidence."

Quickly lowering his eyes to cover the twinkle in his eyes, Yan Ling embarrassedly said in a soft voice, "I'm afraid that I can't go on the Third Prince's invitation. Please explain it on my behalf, little sister."

"Alright, I'll send people over now."

Originally, she wasn't willing to let Yan Ling go and have intimate words with her lover. Even if this plan didn't work out, she would still be happy to see it.

After pouring the tea, Li Li left. Madam Su sighed as she looked at Yan Ling, her face filled with uncontainable anger. "Imperial Concubine De told me many times that she really likes you, and His Highness also likes you."

Yan Ling lowered his eyes and did not say anything. Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Yan Shuang's indignant face.

"You have reached the age where you should get married. Your mother originally wanted to get you together, but who would have thought that something like this would happen?"

Smoke rose in spirals from the censer as Yan Ling watched in a daze. He said softly, "It's my fortune …"

"Nonsense!"

Madam Su was about to stop her from spouting nonsense when Qing'er's voice rang out.

"The Third Prince has sent many people to send gifts, hoping that Eldest Miss will recover soon."

"Look, isn't this good fortune coming?" Madam Su accepted the gifts with a smile, clapped Yan Ling's hands, and began to act as the third prince's lobbyist again.

"Reporting to Madam, the Crown Prince has personally sent a gift, saying that he hopes that Eldest Miss will recover soon." Li Dao.

"Personally?" Hearing this, Yan Shuang was stunned, her delicate eyebrows suddenly knitted together. "Have they left?"

"His Highness the Crown Prince is still in the study, chatting with the old master. He hasn't left yet."

Madam Su opened her mouth and closed it again, as if she didn't know what to say next. With a cold snort, he said, "He's well-informed."

Yan Ling lowered his eyes and did not speak, his expression was unfathomable.
