As soon as Jiang Ling woke up, he hugged her and she cried. She was forced to accept the possibility that he already knew the truth. She was surrounded by Jiang's family and talked for a long time. She didn't think about Zhou Jing'an's injury for a while.

Seeing him walking towards her slowly, she frowned.

"How are your injuries? Has the poison been cured?"

Zhou Jing'an nodded, "Don't worry, the injury is not serious."

Jiang Ling asked, "What about the poison? The bone-dissolving grass is quite toxic."

But it’s not that easy to solve.

Zhou Jing'an pondered for a moment and said slowly, "My poison is not serious. The imperial physician is working hard to prepare an antidote."

Jiang Ling frowned when he heard this. Doesn’t that mean there is no solution?

When it comes to bone-dissolving grass, she thinks of Wanran and He Zuilai.

She thought maybe she could ask He Zui for help again.

This doctor has a strange personality. I think even if the emperor issued an imperial decree to ask him to detoxify, he might not comply.

Zhou Jingan comforted her not to worry, and said in a gentle voice: "It's cold outside, go back to the house, you are still very weak."

Jiang Ling looked up at him, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked the question.

"Where's Wanran? How is he?"

-

She didn't know what Wanran meant to the Emperor and Zhou Jing'an: an enemy? A tool? Or an insignificant supporting role?

So she was afraid that now that Wanran's identity was exposed, they would kill him directly to show the country's power.

Zhou Jingan knew she would ask, so he asked her tentatively: "Do you know his true identity?"

His eyes were as calm as water, and Jiang Ling could not see any emotion in them. He just looked at her gently, as if asking her about the weather today.

But Jiang Ling still hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and said, "I have some guesses, but I dare not think too deeply, nor can I be sure."

Zhou Jing'an curled his lips and told her not to be nervous.

"He is not just a dancer, he has a special identity." He tucked her hanging hair behind her ears gently.

"He is the fifth prince of the previous dynasty, Pei Xuan."

Today is a sunny day. Under the warm winter sun, the thick snow shows signs of melting, sparkling with tiny silver light in the sunlight.

Jiang Ling casually tied her hair into a bun, with a gold and jade hairpin inserted diagonally. The plump and round jade pendant swayed slightly with her movements, reflecting her pair of bright eyes, which were as clear and lively as a deer in the woods.

As she walked along, many palace servants knelt down to greet her when they saw her, which made Jiang Ling quite uncomfortable.

Whether she was acting in her previous life or now, she was used to kneeling to others, and was not used to being kneeled to by others.

"Greetings, Princess Yunxi."

Jiang Ling nodded slightly and smiled. As he spoke, he quickly stood up and helped the palace maid uncomfortably, but she quickly dodged away.

The little palace maid opened the palace door for her, keeping her head down and being very well-behaved.

Jiang Ling walked in and took a look at the scenery inside. It was a very elegant palace and had been well cleaned.

This made her feel slightly relieved.

She was walking slowly with her skirt lifted up, and when she turned around she saw someone standing under the tree in front of the temple.

Her black hair was tied up with a peach wood hairpin, and she stood with her back to her, her body straight.

He was still wearing the same crescent-white long coat he wore when he was tied up that day.

It's the one she gave me.

Jiang Ling took two steps forward and called him softly, "Wanran."

-

When Wanran heard her voice, he turned around suddenly, his face full of surprise. After looking at her, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked over, his voice still as clear and pleasant as ever.

"I'm glad you're okay."

Jiang Ling raised her eyes to look at him, and seeing that he looked calm and in good spirits, she asked, "How are you?"

Wanran's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled faintly, "Not bad."

The two stood facing each other, speechless for a moment.

Jiang Ling was hesitating about how to ask him what the emperor planned to do with him when Wanran spoke.

"You know everything, don't you?"

Wanran pursed her lips and said, "It would be strange if you didn't know."

Jiang Ling is so smart, how could he not guess it?

She nodded, "I know your name."

Wan Ran was slightly startled. Seeing Jiang Ling's faint smile, there was a hint of approval in her voice, "It's a nice name."

Her eyes were as clear and bright as ever, like the clearest stream in the world, in which every flower, grass, stone and fish were clearly visible.

Just like her heart, always so pure and so vigorous.

Wanran looked down at her, not knowing how to react.

He clenched and unclenched his hands, finally gently stroking his sleeves and whispering softly, seeming to be a little shy, with some compassion and melancholy.

"You're the first one to praise it."

His name has always been forgotten, ridiculed and mocked. Although it means beautiful jade, it has never been cherished or praised.

Jiang Ling's smile deepened, and she said sincerely, "It does sound nice, Pei Xuan, quite cute."

When "xuan" is pronounced, the ending tone rises, which is very cute.

These two words were spoken softly by Jiang Ling, so ordinary and pleasant, and he seemed to have never heard such a tone before.

Wanran's lips curved slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes. "Thank you for your compliment. I haven't heard anyone call me that in a long time."

In fact, he was happy about it.

After all, he had always wanted to get rid of this name.

Whether it is this surname or this name.

His brothers and sisters all used "王" as the standard for their names, which means beautiful jade, and he did the same.

But only his name was said to be ominous and unworthy. They laughed at his background and ridiculed his lack of favor. They felt sorry that he had no one to support him, and even his name was said to be unbearable to hear.
