Not long after Imperial Physician Wang left, Bi He returned to the Lotus Root. Seeing that her lips were pale from the cold, the Mama Shang let her go to the Jin Lan room to warm up. Because other than the main house, the side room they lived in did not have a fire dragon.

Bi He was originally headed towards the East Wing, and after hearing what the Mama Shang said, she thought for a bit, then changed her mind. She lifted the curtain and entered the main house. However, she only stayed outside, afraid that the cold air around her would freeze the entire area.

Wan Ju was originally sitting on a small chair by the side of the brick bed, resting her shoes on it. When he saw her come in, she took a glance at her and quietly put down the sewing basket in her hands.

Bi He looked at Qi Jian, and said softly: "Is Miss resting? Have you drank the medicine for noon? "

"Drink it, Mama Shang fried the medicine well, then I'll send it over." Wan Ju also lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing Jin Lan. She held Bi He's hand, and immediately felt like a block of ice, freezing to the bone. She then hurriedly said: "Look at this cold air, hurry up and roast the fire."

Jin Lan was scared of the cold. Other than the underground dragon fire brick bed, there was also a silver frost brazier placed in front of the fire brick bed.

Bi He shook her head, and extended her hand to stop Wan Ju's good intentions, "It took me so much effort before I finally feel better. There's a land dragon burning in this house, and I'll be warm in the outer room after a while. "

Wan Ju was startled, but after thinking about it, she also agreed to it. She stopped insisting and pulled her to sit on the acid wood flower vine chair that was covered with cashmere, and quickly poured herself a cup of hot tea.

Bi He drank a cup of hot tea, and after a long while, she finally spat out the foul air, the chill on her body had gone through eighty to ninety percent, her hands and feet had slowly regained their former agility, she then placed the teacup on the table and asked: "When did Miss sleep?" Ever since she moved to Lotus Root, Jin Lan had gotten used to resting for two hours after lunch. According to usual, she would probably wake up soon.

"I've only rested for a short while. Just now, the Imperial Physician Wang came to check my pulse, and it took his quite a while before he left." When Wan Ju saw that the tea cup was empty, she neatly added another one for her.

The Imperial Physician Wang is here? Bi He seemed to have thought of something, and her face suddenly turned ugly.

"Why?" Wan Ju saw that she had changed her expression, and couldn't help but to place a hand on her forehead, "Could it be that it's frozen?"

"No problem." Bi He tried to retract her thoughts, but she turned her head slightly, and avoided Wan Ju's hands, "I'm just worried, my lady's body is fine, I'm afraid I can't hide it from the Imperial Physician Wang."

When Wan Ju saw that she was initially worried about this matter, she could not help but laugh, and said: "Don't worry, Imperial Physician Wang said, although lady's body is much better than before, she will still need a period of time to recuperate. And you didn't know that Imperial Physician Wang was actually Imperial Physician Situ's disciple. " Saying that, she learnt what she meant by adding oil to the fire, causing Bi He to be stunned.

"In other words, her words …" Bi He muttered absentmindedly.

Her voice was low, causing Wan Ju to be unable to hear clearly, so she asked: "What? Who said that? "

"Nothing." Bi He regained her senses, but her brows loosened up a lot, "I'm saying, in that case, we don't have to be so worried, afraid that the Imperial Physician Wang will expose our secret."

"That's right, I can finally feel better." Wan Ju heaved a long sigh of relief, her face filled with agreement. These few days, they had been under constant fear day and night, and every time there was a sound in the courtyard, they would be startled, afraid that their ancestor had discovered something.

"Alright, hurry up and go in. If the Mama Shang finds out, she'll have to say that we're lazy to hide again." With that, Bi He stood up, flicked her sleeves, and walked inside the room softly.

Although the Mama Shang was kind to the young lady, she was strict towards the servants. Even if they were the young lady's personal servants, sometimes, they would scold and scold her mercilessly when they had done something wrong. Wan Ju was both respectful and afraid of Mama Shang, and yearned for him in her heart.

Hearing Bi He say that, she also stood up and followed him. It was as if if the Mama Shang would pull the curtain after her if she stayed any longer.

When the two entered the room, and saw that Jin Lan was sleeping soundly, they could not bear to disturb her. Bi He brought over Zhang Wu Zi and started sewing on the brick bed with Wan Ju.

The sky darkened early in the winter, and when the first hexagonal lantern lit up in Lotus Root's courtyard, Jin Lan woke up. She blurrily saw Bi He sitting in front of a brick bed, and called for her to pour him a cup of tea.

Unexpectedly, Bi He seemed to have awoken from a nightmare, her entire body suddenly trembled, the embroidery needle in her hand tilted, and pierced into his flesh solidly. She could not help but cry out in pain.

Ah!

When Wan Ju, who was at the side, saw this, she immediately grabbed her finger and slowly let out a round bead of blood on her white fingertip. She then looked at her grudgingly and said: "What happened to them today? If you were to tell the maids in our residence that they had no other choice, you would definitely clasp your hands and smile, covering your mouth with your hands. "

At this moment, Jin Lan had completely woken up, she endured the discomfort in her throat, looking at the soulless Bi He, her brows slightly raised: "What happened?"

Hearing Jin Lan's question of concern, the words in Bi He's heart almost rushed out, but in the end, she endured it. She used her handkerchief to cover her finger and barely laughed: "It's alright, perhaps the sky is too cold, my hand is a little stiff." Saying so, he stood up to pour some tea for Jin Lan.

Seeing that she was injured, Wan Ju took the initiative to pick up the Three Colored Hibiscus Butterfly Flower's One-Eared Pellet, "You should treat the wound on your hand first."

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, blood was not visible in Jin Lan's eyes. Bi He took off the handkerchief and took a peek, the blood droplets on her fingertips had already seeped into the handkerchief and onto the green cloth. Although she was still bleeding, it was not as obvious as before. She should be able to completely stop it in a short while.

She shook her head and said, "It's just a small cut. It doesn't hurt anymore."

Jin Lan returned the tea cup back to Wan Ju, and then wiped his mouth with the brocade handkerchief that was placed on the pillow, "These few days be more careful, don't let the wound get wet."

Bi He nodded and laughed uncomfortably, "Yes."

Jin Lan looked deeply at her, and didn't say anything else.

The room immediately became silent, making people feel depressed. Bi He nervously stood at her original position, she did not know how to walk or how to sit, but she was actually holding onto her finger as she stared blankly.

Seeing that he was almost done with his work, Jin Lan asked, "Have you settled the matter with the melon?"

"The main kitchen's steward, Mama, said that she sent the wrong message. Right now, she has already asked someone to change it." Bi He was itching to ask more about Jin Lan, so she secretly sized Jin Lan up. Seeing that her face was calm, and there was no difference, her nervous heart gradually calmed down.

Jin Lan smiled faintly. "That's good." Saying that, he picked up the half-flipped book again, and only put it down after Mama Shang came in to set up a meal.

After a few days, the first snowfall of winter finally began to fall in the capital. It was like the gentle flutter of willow branches, or like the scattered petals of a pear. In just a short night, everything within his line of sight was pure white.

Wan Ju and Bi He had never seen snow before, so they rushed into the courtyard in the early morning. They looked left and right and touched it, filled with curiosity.

Jin Lan held the tea cup and sat on the hot brick bed, watching the white feathers fly outside through the glass window. In his previous life, he had lived in the capital for three years, so he remembered seeing snow for the first time. Her body had never felt cold, so she spent most of the winter in the pavilion, except at some house where she was invited to enjoy the snow.

At that time, Ye Jinwei would often tease her, saying that she was like a cat, curling up wherever she was warm.

When Mama Shang entered the room, she saw Jin Lan's depressed and lost look. Thinking of the person behind him, she called out, "Miss, Lady Jin Yu has come to see you."

Hm? She recovered her wits, and turned to see Ye Jinyu with her hands in the purple marten skin, walking in, "Sister Lan."

"Sister Yu." Jin Lan revealed a bright smile, he hurriedly sat up and welcomed Ye Jinyu on the brick bed, then said to the Mama Shang: "Quickly bring the brazier over, let Big Sis feel the cold air."

Ye Jinyu hurriedly stopped her, "No need, your room is filled with land dragons and charcoal pots, the moment you come in, it's already very warm, how could it be cold?" As she said that, she took his hand out of the thermal sheath. Holding Jin Lan's hand, he scrutinized the two of them before saying, "I can see that your complexion is getting better and better."

Jin Lan smiled, but did not answer. She was not willing to lie to Ye Jinyu, but there were some things that she could not casually say.

One must know that the wall has ears.

Ye Jinyu did not care, "It's just right, ever since you were sick, we sisters have not been together for a long time. Now that it's snow, it should stop by night. "Sister Yan said that the red plum in the garden is just right. Tomorrow, I will go to the forest to admire the Snow Song Plum. She even asked me to invite sister Lan to go with her."

Would Ye Jinyan invite her to admire the Snow Song Mei? Jin Lan was startled upon hearing this, she had never met Ye Jinyan before, ever since she came to live in the Lotus Root, the rest of the girls had all come together to pay their respects. Other than Ye Jinyu who would come over from time to time, even Ye Jinwei, who was born to be her older sister, would rarely visit her house because he was afraid that he would disturb her recovery. But now, Ye Jinyan had actually invited her. It was truly strange.

She suddenly had the urge to stick her head out and see if the sun was rising in the west.

"How is it?" Ye Jinyu saw that she was smiling yet did not say a word, and continued: "If you go, I will come and find you tomorrow morning, we will go together."

If Ye Jinyu extended an invitation, Jin Lan might consider it a little, but since it was Ye Jinyan who suggested the idea, she had no choice but to think it through. Ye Jinyan had always been on bad terms with her, but if she was in a good mood and didn't want to meet someone she didn't care about, how could she possibly let go of the Ye Jinyan who he had doted on since she was young? She might have been ordered by someone or instigated by someone.

And in the mansion, the only person who could make Ye Jinyan do such a dishonest thing, was probably the Old Ancestor, right?

Suddenly, she remembered the strange Bi He that day. The hand holding the handkerchief tensed up, but her face blinked, and revealed a look of yearning: "I actually do want to go, but Imperial Physician Wang said, although my body is good, I still need to take care of it, and can't withstand the wind." His words contained a trace of regret, as if he was blaming himself for not being able to meet his expectations.

Ye Jinyu seemed to have already expected her to say this, and there was no surprise on her face. She lightly patted her hand, and said thoughtlessly: "Since your body isn't good enough to go, Little Sister Yan naturally won't blame you. However, after being treated by the Imperial Physician Wang for so long, he still hasn't changed much. The Old Ancestor is very worried. "

She paused before continuing, "I heard from the Old Ancestor that in terms of medical skills, the Hua family is the first. Your majesty's body has recently improved a lot."

Jin Lan's heart suddenly trembled, and her eyes widened. Ye Jinyu's delicate and pretty face, which was reflected in the candlelight, seemed to have changed in her eyes. However, those words were like a clap of thunder in winter, causing her to feel dizzy from the explosion.

The emperor's body, Old Imperial Physician Hua!

How did she forget what Mama Wu had said when they were at Yangzhou? She originally thought that it was just a way to coax her to go to the capital, but it turned out to be true!

Old Ancestor wanted to bring her directly into the palace!
