Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

"what is this?"

Jinzhong looked at Wei Yanwan with a smile in his eyes and explained, "When I was a child, I was in poor health, so my mother went to the most sacred temple to ask for this jade pendant. Now I give it to Master Ling, hoping it can keep you safe."

Since he was able to get a jade pendant from a temple, Jinzhong's family must have been well off back then.

"This is too expensive, I can't accept it."

What's more, this was obtained by Jinzhong's mother for him, so it is very valuable.

The moment Wei Yanwan said this, the smile on Jinzhong's face disappeared instantly.

"Nothing outside of yourself is more important than you."

This time, Jinzhong did not call Wei Yanwan "Master Ling" or her maiden name.

The tone was more serious than ever before.

"Jinzhong, this is what your mother asked for you after all."

In fact, Wei Yanwan didn’t believe that the jade pendant could protect herself.

Otherwise, how could Jinzhong end up entering the palace and becoming a eunuch?

Although the conditions for becoming a eunuch were very harsh at that time, not all children from ordinary families could become one.

"As I said, this is just an external possession. In fact, I have never worn it since entering the palace. It is clean."

Jinzhong even emphasized the last sentence, as if he was afraid that Wei Yanwan would dislike him.

Wei Yanwan looked at the jade pendant in her hand. It was of very good quality, finely crafted, and the carved patterns were lifelike.

Jinzhong reached out and slowly clasped Wei Yanwan's fingers, his meaning was very clear: she must accept this jade pendant.

Finally, Wei Yanwan pursed her lips and smiled, saying in a charming tone, "Okay, I believe that with this jade pendant, you will be safe and sound in the future, and so will you."

Jinzhong smiled again, but did not respond to Wei Yanwan's words.

Seeing that it was almost time, Jinzhong had to go back.

The two of them parted reluctantly again.

After two days, Wei Yanwan's waist injury had eased a lot, and walking was basically no problem for her.

Sometimes I just can’t straighten my back.

That afternoon, when she was basking in the sun outside, Ling Yunche, whom she had not seen for a long time, came over.

However, this time he changed his usual arrogance and broke into Yongshou Palace without even waiting for notification.

Wei Yanwan, who was lying on a lounge chair basking in the sun, was a little confused for a moment.

No, this guy just barged in like that?

Do you think your head is too comfortable on your neck?

"Wei Yanwan, I didn't expect you to be so vicious!"

"???"

Wei Yanwan felt like laughing when she heard Ling Yunche's question.

And she actually laughed out loud.

Chun Chan and Lan Cui immediately trotted over when they heard the sound, looking at Ling Yunche with vigilance. If he dared to do anything out of line, they would call for help immediately.

"Guard Ling, first of all, I am now a guard. You call me by my maiden name casually. Do you think you are living too comfortably?"

"And—you say I'm vicious? I haven't even left Yongshou Palace these days, so how can I be vicious?"

Now Wei Yanwan looked at Ling Yunche as if she was looking at a fool.

If she guessed correctly, Ling Yunche must have come for that matter.

"Did you tamper with the soup and deliberately frame Concubine Xian?"

Wei Yanwan was too lazy to reply him.

She is sick and she even adds some ingredients to the soup.

"You just feel resentful because Concubine Xian is on good terms with me, right?"

"Wei Yanwan, if—"

"Guard Ling, this is Yongshou Palace. You should address her as Wei Da Ying."

The owner of this voice was none other than Fu Heng.

But why is he here?

Wei Yanwan was still lying on the recliner.

She didn't get up when Ling Yunche came just now, thinking that she would just let it go.

Now that Fucha Fuheng is here, he is the Empress Dowager's younger brother after all, so we have to show him some respect.

"Spring Cicada, lend a hand."

"Hey, here we come."

With Chunchan's help, Wei Yanwan got up from the recliner.

Then he limped towards the entrance of Yongshou Palace and greeted him with a smile, "Master Fu Heng, you are here."

Fucha Fuheng lowered his head, frowning as he looked at Wei Yanwan with a look of disdain on his face. He then took a few steps back, keeping his distance from her. He stood outside the door and said in a tone of caution, "Wei Yanwan, I will just stand here and talk. I came here because of the jade pendant."

Ling Yunche's brows were furrowed as if he was about to pinch a fly to death. He questioned, "What jade pendant? What is the relationship between you two?"

Wei Yanwan ignored him and continued talking to Fu Heng, "I asked Chunchan and Lancui to look for the jade pendant you mentioned, but it's not here. Maybe it fell somewhere else."

Hearing this, Fu Cha Fu Heng looked at Wei Yanwan with a stern expression. To be honest, this look made people very uncomfortable, as if they were interrogating a criminal.

Just when Wei Yanwan thought Fu Heng would not reply to her, he finally spoke, "In that case, I will go look for it somewhere else and will not bother you any more. I agree and take my leave."

Wei Yanwan really wanted to say, don’t say goodbye yet, can you please get rid of Ling Yunche first.

He doesn't want fame, he wants it for himself.

Seeing that Wei Yanwan ignored him, Ling Yunche continued to press forward and asked, "What is your relationship with him? Why are you hooking up with the emperor's brother-in-law? Aren't you still following Jinzhong--"

"Snapped!"

In an instant, Wei Yanwan's face changed drastically and she slapped Ling Yunche in the face.

This slap was done with all his strength.

"Guard Ling, watch your mouth."

Fu Heng, who had already turned around and left, changed direction again. At this moment, his face was as cold as ice, and he looked at Ling Yunche as if he was looking at a dead person.

They even dared to spread rumors about him, a royal relative. I don't know whether to say he is brave or stupid.

"If you two have any private issues, please resolve them yourselves. Why involve me? It's simply ridiculous. Wei agreed. I'm sorry for being abrupt."

After saying that, Fu Heng stepped directly into Yongshou Palace, walked up to Ling Yunche without looking around, grabbed his collar and dragged him out of Yongshou Palace.

I have to say, Fu Heng is so handsome at this moment.

He pulled Ling Yunche out with just one hand.

Not even the slightest resistance.

Wei Yanwan saw Ling Yunche's hat fell to the ground and hurriedly asked Chunchan to pick it up.

"Pfft—oh my god, Master, Guard Ling hasn't washed his hair in how long? This hat is making me suffocate."

Wei Yanwan looked at Chunchan with disdain and complained, "Silly Chunchan, how long are you going to hold on to that stinky hat? Throw it away."

"Ah, okay!"

"pat-"

At the moment Chunchan threw it out, Wei Yanwan seemed to have smelled the greasy smell of hair.

It’s still her Jinzhong who loves cleanliness and smells good every day.

However, where is Ling Yunche, who was dragged away by Fu Heng?

"Woooooooo..."
