Lan Jinyan followed him to the door of the study. When he saw Xuanyuan Qing was about to close the door, he rolled his eyes and ducked in.

"Yan Yan."

Xuanyuan Qing's face darkened slightly.

"Let's take a look, brother." Lan Jinyan stayed on the chair, looking like there was nothing you could do about me.

He silently stared at her serious face, thought for a moment, and pulled out a yellowed painting from the box.

The edges of the scroll were blurred and fluffed, and it looked like it had been looked at many times.

He put the scroll on the table and unfolded it. Lan Jinyan quickly stretched her head to take a look. After just one glance, she froze there, her eyes could not believe it.

The woman in the painting has an extremely beautiful face, bright eyes, white teeth, and elegant clothes.

What surprised her was that Xuanyuan Qing was 70% similar to Yu Shang, but 80% similar to the woman on the scroll!

"Brother, she must be my mother-in-law. You two look alike."

Lan Jinyan lowered her head and looked at the woman in the painting carefully, filled with doubts.

"Ah."

Xuanyuan Qing quickly rolled up the scroll and carefully put it in a cloth bag.

It can be seen that he cherishes this painting very much.

In the silent night, time moves slower. In this quiet moment, loneliness and sadness are most likely to arise in the heart.

He did not drive her out of the study, but fell into deep thought while stroking the scroll in his hand.

"Everyone says I look like Yu Shang, but actually, I look most like my mother." At this point, Xuanyuan Qing's eyes flashed with pain.

"My father probably never really liked my mother, so he never gave her a title. He can't even tell who I look like."

Lan Jinyan knew that he actually lacked love in his heart.

Not long after he was born, his biological mother died, and his only father ignored him. He was left alone and helpless, lingering in the palace that ate people without spitting out their bones.

Step by step, careful and cautious, we have achieved today's achievements.

"Brother, you still have me, and I will never leave you." She hugged him from behind, trying to reassure him.

He touched her delicate hand, his eyes filled with soft light, "Yanyan, I have sent people to Nanyang to investigate your life experience. I believe that it won't be long before news comes back."

"If you find your family, will you still be willing to stay with your brother?" He asked cautiously, fearing that one day, she would leave him for various reasons.

Lan Jinyan thought for a moment and then said slowly: "If I still have family, I will go back to see them."

Knowing that she would leave, Xuanyuan Qing's face suddenly turned pale, and the strength in his hands gradually increased, wanting to keep her for a long time.

"Oh, brother, what are you doing so hard? I haven't finished yet." Lan Jinyan took out her pinched hand, stood on tiptoes, and came close to his ear, "It's just a one-time meeting, I want to come back I’m marrying you.”

"You must remember that Shili Hongzhuang is the reason why I want to marry you."

She poked his hard chest and added arrogantly: "If you marry me, you can't take a concubine."

"Oh, do you still want to ride on my head in the future?"

Xuanyuan Qing took advantage of the situation and grabbed her slender waist and pressed her on the desk. The pens, inks, papers and inkstones were scattered on the floor...

When her consciousness was blurred, Lan Jinyan suddenly thought of any questions she forgot to ask.

Near noon, Lan Jinyan was dragged up from the couch by Hong Ying. After having a quick bite, she was dragged to the woods in the backyard.

"Girl, the essence has been extracted." She excitedly took out a small and exquisite jade plate from behind her.

Lan Jinyan's eyes widened, but she didn't see where the essence was.

"Hongying, are you kidding me?"

She yawned.

Hong Ying pointed to the slightly invisible drop of transparent essence in the middle of the jade dish, "Here it is."

"This is extracted from one flower, and the rest was destroyed by the traitor who was looking for pleasure."

Thinking of this, Hongying felt sad.

The person he brought out actually rebelled.

Lan Jinyan took a closer look and finally saw the precious essence.

"Do you know what it does?" She smelled it. It was colorless and odorless, so she simply dipped her finger into it to taste it.

Hong Ying was shocked and quickly grabbed the jade plate and asked eagerly: "Girl, how can you eat randomly? Do you feel uncomfortable in any way?"

Lan Jinyan smacked her lips in disapproval, looking a little unfinished.

How could the things that Concubine Lan used herself be poisonous?

But having said that, it tastes good and sweet.

"Don't worry, it's okay, Hongying, you know a lot." You even know how to make the essence.

Thinking of Xiao Linzi's proud face, he was the only one who knew how to show off the essence of orchid, Lan Jinyan found it funny.

It seems that there is nothing special about this thing.

Maybe it’s like what Xiao Linzi said, beauty and beauty.

"Girl, you scared me to death, please don't eat randomly in the future."

"These are just trivial matters. In fact, the methods for making the essence are similar, but the process is different."

Lan Jinyan was surprised, "But you have never made the essence of shame orchid. How do you know its process and succeed in the first time?"

Unexpectedly, Hongying is a master.

"Girl, I have made many similar things. You can tell by looking at it. You have bathed in the streamer pool, and the fragrance must be delicious. It was made by the slave based on the second prince's oral instructions."

When it comes to her own abilities, Hongying is not modest at all when she should be proud of herself.

"So powerful?" Lan Jinyan was filled with admiration, "Then tell me, what is the use of the essence?"

Hongying shook his head, helpless.

"I don't know this slave. It's probably a physical change."

After the essence was produced, she stayed in the darkroom and read through the information. There was no documentation on the shame orchid.

She didn't leave the darkroom until this morning.

"Change your physique?"

Lan Jinyan is unpredictable.

Forget it, if there is a chance to steal some shy orchids from the palace, let Hong Ying develop more essence, and then study them carefully.

"By the way, how do you know Xun Huan is a traitor?"

Lan Jinyan realized that important clues seemed to be missing.

She had never seen Hongying when the incident happened yesterday.

His face became more and more ugly, and his legs retreated unconsciously.

"Girl, what are you doing to protect me from this slave?" Hong Ying was a bit dumbfounded.

Miss Yan is not afraid of eating randomly, so why is she suddenly afraid of her now?

"Hongying, let me ask you, where were you when Xuanyuan Lingfeng led people into the house yesterday?"

Lan Jinyan kept a safe distance from her. Suspicious eyes kept examining her.

"You're talking about this. Didn't the Second Prince tell you?"

"When I planted the orchids, I was extra thoughtful and sprinkled colorless and odorless tracking powder on the flower buds. When I was about to pick the flowers yesterday, I found that someone had already taken advantage of them."

"The slave released small bugs for tracking. In the end, the bugs fell into Xun Huan's hands, but she still refused to admit it. Finally, the slave found the only one left under her pillow, but she said that the slave had slandered her."
