I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

Even though the servants in the mansion had only vague guesses about Lin Yan's favor before, it is now almost confirmed.

You know, the prince is very serious in the palace. He can kill people without any trace when he laughs or scolds. The princesses in the past have never been treated like this.

The other two concubines in the backyard, Xie Liuxu and Miao Yinhua, went from watching to being shocked.

Xie Liuxu immediately asked her maid Xiao Cui to bring over the prepared fig and almond soup.

This was the countermeasure she came up with after thinking hard all night last night. Prepare for both situations and make sure both are strong.

Wait and see, there is profit to be made, if the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain, anyway, I can't let Miao Yinhua next door get the advantage.

Miao Yinhua frowned. This woman was unusual. Last night, the prince's attitude was still ambiguous. He didn't dare to speak to her when he went out today, but his attitude changed drastically.

"Zhujie, take the delicious food and go out to ask the sisters you know in the Crescent Moon Courtyard where the prince went today and what they did. The more details the better!"

"Yes!" Zhuye took the order and left.

……

Xiao Cui came to the Crescent Moon Courtyard with a bowl of fig and almond soup and complimented Zhiye for a while. Zhiye happily took it and went into the room.

"Green tea, I didn't expect that Master Xie, who is always known for his indifference, would take the initiative to bring soup to our master. Don't you think it's rare?"

"Don't make a fuss about nothing. Our master is favored for sure. Everyone in the mansion knows it. Thank you, master, for sending some fig and almond soup at this time, but you are just using this as an excuse to curry favor with our master." Green Tea replied proudly.

The branches and leaves nodded!

Although fig and almond soup is not rare, drinking a bowl of such hot soup in this cold winter to warm you up shows that people are thoughtful.

Put the food box on the table and take out two fist-sized thin white porcelain bowls and line them up.

Lin Yan just changed into her regular clothes and came out. Zhao Yuan sent her back to the house and went to the study room for something. When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king. Lin Yan immediately resumed her usual living habits.

Smelling the aroma of rice coming from a beautiful food box, Lin Yan walked over and opened the lid. Inside was a white porcelain jar of about ten liters. Looking from above, she saw the steaming fig and almond soup.

In front of the delicious food, even Zhao Yuan, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, was not there. Lin Yan immediately showed her true colors and her foodie mood was fully revealed: "It smells so sweet! Where did it come from?"

Green Tea picked up a thin white porcelain bowl. "Thank you, Master, for sending Xiao Cui over. The temperature is just right. Shall I serve you a bowl?"

"Great! I didn't expect Xie Liuxu to have such a skill! But why did she suddenly think of sending me something delicious?" Lin Yan chatted with Green Tea in confusion.

“My Lord, I carried you all the way back to the main room.

Master, you don't know how everyone looks at us in the Crescent Moon Courtyard now. We are the most popular wherever we go. She is not favored and has to find ways to curry favor with you. "Green Tea said with a smile, her tone full of pride. Her back was particularly straight.

Lin Yan gave a bitter smile, holding the steaming porcelain bowl, not daring to drink from it for a long time. Suddenly, she remembered the plot that always appeared in TV dramas: "They sent it to me out of kindness. Could it be that they are jealous of me and put some poison in the soup, or...!"

His throat was still a little sore. There was no normal person in the Rui Palace. Just as he was hesitating, Zhao Yuan appeared again like a ghost: "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Yan's appetite was instantly tied up. Don't you like to snatch my food? It's just right for you to try. She replied, "Miss Xie just sent me the fig and almond soup. Do you want to drink it?"

Zhao Yuan was straightforward. He took the white porcelain bowl from Lin Yan's hand, felt the temperature was just right, and drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Yan looked down at her toes and said, "Drink it. If it is really poisoned, I can be free." Three months later, the three hundred thousand taels will be hers. After running away, she will hide her identity and never worry about food and drink for the rest of her life.

Lin Yan glanced at the empty bowl and counted the time silently in her heart. Ten seconds had passed, why was there no reaction at all?

I couldn't help but look up at Zhao Yuan. His face was rosy and shiny, without any signs of poisoning, nor any symptoms of nausea or discomfort.

Oh, I am so disappointed: Xie Liuxu, how could you not put anything in it? Is it really like what Green Tea said, that you are just trying to curry favor with me?

Oh! What a wasted opportunity!

Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Yan in confusion, "Is this woman going crazy because of my pinching?" He asked coldly, "What are you looking at?"

He gestured to pour another bowl of green tea, then reached out and grabbed Lin Yan's hand. Not only was her skin white and attractive, but her fingers were also exceptionally delicate and soft. He rubbed it gently twice and was reluctant to let go.

Lin Yan felt a little frightened and still hadn't recovered from her shock. She shook her head subconsciously.

"Don't want to drink?" Zhao Yuan paused stroking her fingers and looked down at her.

Lin Yan wanted to pull her hand back, but she didn't dare.

Zhao Yuan frowned, thinking he had gone too far. She looked frightened and scared, her eyes widened when he treated her like that.

But even so, she still sat upright, without any intention of kneeling down to beg for mercy. I couldn't help but think of her last unconscious state in the carriage.

Afraid of death, but not afraid of death.

Zhao Yuan stared at Lin Yan, feeling that the woman in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar. He couldn't help but ask himself: What kind of family could raise such a special woman?

The atmosphere at this moment was very weird. Green Tea was a little scared and brought another bowl over. She put it down and immediately turned around and walked away.

The other little girls who were serving dared not even breathe, for fear that the noise they made would be too loud and the flames of war would spread to them. They stood there motionless like statues.

In order to ease the atmosphere and soothe Lin Yan's wariness, Zhao Yuan picked up the bowl and gulped down the soup. "The heat and sweetness are just right. Drinking a bowl of warm soup in winter will make you feel refreshed. You really don't want to drink it?"

Zhao Yuan's eyes narrowed into a line, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"Drink!" Lin Yan swallowed her saliva and replied. Why not drink it? It's a good deal for you.

"But when did you become so close to her?" Zhao Yuan asked lightly, without any trace of unhappiness or joy in his tone.

"Secret!" Lin Yan didn't know how to answer, so she chose an ambiguous answer.

Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Yan meaningfully, then turned around and told Green Tea, "Go outside and tell Manager Zhai to open the warehouse and give the pair of white jade bracelets that someone else sent yesterday to Miss Xie."

"Yes." Green Tea responded quickly.
