Chapter 61 Unexpected Visitor

The next day, Lin Zhiyu slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up.

After lunch, she felt sleepy again. Lin Xiaolian replaced all the ice cubes in the room with new ones. She also lit incense in the incense burner to drive away mosquitoes. Wisps of smoke came from the four openings under the burner. It flows out like a waterfall.

Lin Zhiyu kept shaking her fan and leaned on the recliner. She was half asleep when she heard Qiaoxiu push the door in and wake up softly: "Miss, Concubine Jia is here."

Lin Zhiyu was terribly sleepy and was just about to let Qiaoxiu go to someone else, when a string in his mind suddenly tightened.

Princess Jia? Zhuang Younan?

She stood up suddenly, but her eyes were dazzled because she was going too fast.

"I asked why the eldest lady hasn't been here for so long. It turns out she's just hiding here." Zhuang Younan put his hand on Bao'er's wrist and came in quietly.

Lin Zhiyu rubbed her slightly swollen temples. It wasn't until Qiaoxiu handed her the tea that her mind became clearer.

"I had doubts in my mind. I was supposed to go find Concubine Jia, but now that I'm here, it saves trouble." Lin Zhiyu didn't look too good.

As the saying goes, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. She hadn't settled the matter between Xu Jiu'er and Lin Xiaolian before, so she didn't know what tricks she would use if she came today.

"What a coincidence. I came here today specifically to help the eldest girl solve her doubts."

Zhuang Younan didn't see anyone outside. He walked around to the incense burner, then sat down, poured tea by himself, and took a sip.

"Good tea."

"Now that you've drank the tea, it's time to talk about the prescription. What's going on?"

Lin Zhiyu was a little anxious, tapping the table with his fingers.

"It seems you have guessed it." Zhuang Younan's eyes showed some approval, "Yes, I did give the prescription to Liu'er, and this is also a bet between you and me."

"You were talking about the prescription to bring Xu Jiu'er back to life, but what you gave Liu'er actually sent Xu Jiu'er to hell!"

Lin Zhiyu's heart ached when she thought of Xu Jiuer's silent scene. She slapped the table, feeling obviously a little excited.

Zhuang Younan said calmly: "Life and death, life and death, life and death, the so-called liberation, isn't it a kind of new life?"

"You never wanted to save her life in the first place." Lin Zhiyu felt that she had been tricked by Zhuang Younan, and there was a feeling of depression in her chest.

"Even the medical sage is helpless against the poison, and you still expect me to be able to pull people out of hell?" Zhuang Younan said sarcastically, "But you, every step is beyond my expectation."

He was so eager to save people, but he lost Xu Jiu'er's life. Lin Zhiyu felt as if he had suffered the loss of being mute.

"So the bet you are talking about is Lin Xiaolian?"

Zhuang Younan neither admitted nor denied, but said, "You also saved the day, didn't you?"

"Save danger? Ha." Lin Zhiyu sneered, "What should I do if Xiaolian is hurt? If I don't think of a way, I will lose my life!"

"It's just one life. Every brick and tile in this palace wall was not built with human life?" Zhuang Younan's eyes were heavy. He was still in his prime, but there was a deathly air in his eyes.

Lin Zhiyu was silent.

Zhuang Younan changed the subject and added: "You are a smart man. Naturally, this high palace wall cannot contain you. Today, there is actually another matter."

She took out the tassel from her sleeve and placed it in front of Lin Zhiyu.

Judging from the appearance, this earring is quite old, and its entire body is a grayish red color, and the silk threads in some places are already tending to come apart. Lin Zhiyu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "What do you mean?"

"The people in the White Tiger Camp are not dead. This tassel is a token."

The amount of information was too large, and Lin Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Why did Zhuang Younan tell her such an important thing for no reason?

The more he knew, the sooner he would die. At this moment, Lin Zhiyu wanted to cover his ears and eliminate this information from his mind.

"Isn't it a little too hasty for Concubine Jia to hand over such an important thing to me without any hesitation?"

Lin Zhiyu pushed the tassel back, her refusal obvious.

"My brother Zhuang Xiao is young and ignorant. He needs a guide before I can hand this object over to him." Zhuang Younan's next words were a bolt from the blue, "I want you to take good care of my brother."

So after all the calculations, after all the planning, you just want to choose a suitable sister-in-law for yourself?

Lin Zhiyu's eyes widened, it was so ridiculous!

"Empress Jia Fei, I have made an engagement with Prince Jin. It is really inappropriate for men and women to be on guard." Lin Zhiyu felt that Zhuang Younan was also a master who did not play by the rules.

"Prince Jin may not be a man who can live a stable life. You may not know what secrets he has hidden in him." Zhuang Younan smiled, "Every appearance is false, isn't it?"

secret?

Lin Zhiyu thought about it carefully and found that he did not know Zhou Zijin very well.

He is gentle and elegant, well-mannered, handsome and rich. Looking left and right, you can't find anything wrong with him.

"I don't have much time left. If you have made up your mind, after my death, you will give this tassel to Zhuang Xiao. What he wants to do with it is his business."

Judging from Zhuang Younan's tone, she seemed to be betting on something.

"You gave me a lot of inspiration. Speaking of which, I still have to thank you." Zhuang Younan smiled bitterly.

Just when Lin Zhiyu was about to ask something more, she heard Eunuch Zhang shouting at the top of his voice outside the door: "The Emperor has arrived——"

Zhuang Younan covertly covered the tassel with the saucer. After confirming that it could not be seen, he stood up and said a blessing.

Zhou Tingchen stepped in. He didn't expect Zhuang Younan to be there. He paused in his steps and asked, "Concubine Jia?"

For the first time today, Zhuang Younan wore a thin pea green soft skirt, and her forehead was decorated with yellow flowers in a unique way.

Her appearance is already good, and with a little makeup, she has the charm of a lotus.

Zhou Tingchen's gaze lingered for a moment, then he stepped forward and helped her up personally: "I haven't seen you out and about for a long time. Are you feeling better?"

"Thanks to the Emperor, I have been sleeping well at night recently, and I no longer wake up as often as before." Zhuang Younan still lowered his head, but his eyes were looking up at Zhou Tingchen, giving birth to a feeling of coquettishness for no reason.

Lin Zhiyu stood up and said in a very untimely manner: "Your Majesty, what's the matter with your visit today?"

Zhou Tingchen then remembered the business: "I heard that you were frightened yesterday. After all, you are the third brother. I should come over and have a look no matter what."

He raised his hand to signal behind him, and Eunuch Zhang came forward holding a small box.
