Chapter 155 Tell me a story
On the day of Wei Taifu's 50th birthday, Qi Wuhan was preparing to attend the banquet. When he was leaving, Jiang Lan said she had something to give him. Then she pulled him aside and took out a packet of sleeping pills from her waist. After giving it to him, she took out another packet of secret medicine. In total, she took out three packets of sleeping pills and asked him to take them for self-defense.
"This is not an ordinary drug. It was made by Brother Ye himself. It is very effective." She said quietly.
"You prepared so many sleeping pills, are you going to drug me?" He bent down, leaned close to her ear and asked in a deliberately ambiguous tone.
Jiang Lan's face flushed with anger as she said, "This is what I brought with me for self-defense. If you don't want it, just give it back to me." As soon as she stretched out her hand, he raised it and then put it behind his back. He stared into her eyes and asked, "How did you know I would be in danger?" He then turned his head to glance at Ling Feng behind him, "You said that?"
Jiang Lan quickly explained, "It's none of his business. Didn't you say before that you killed Wei Bing? His father even invited you to his 50th birthday party. It's clearly a case of the weasel paying a visit to the chicken. He definitely has bad intentions." At this point, she hesitated, a hint of anticipation in her expression, "How about I go with you?"
Qi Wuhan looked her up and down. Jiang Lan felt that he must think that she was a weak woman who was powerless and could not help much even if she went. Instead, she might even cause more trouble. It would take some time for her to convince him.
"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. If the situation is not right, I will find a place to hide. I am very good at finding places. When I was a child, I hid myself and no one in the mansion could find me."
She reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve, with a hint of coquettishness.
"Will you wear this dress and go with me?"
Jiang Lan glanced down at the gauze skirt she was wearing, not thinking it was a big deal. "Don't people in the palace all dress like this?" Qi Wuhan frowned slightly and said in a commanding tone, "If I say no, then no. Go change your clothes."
Then Ling Feng brought Jiang Lan a set of palace eunuch's clothes.
She didn't look too out of place after she changed into the clothes. The eunuchs in the palace were all fair-skinned and beardless, and some even had red lips and white teeth. At first glance, they looked like girls, and their voices were soft, unlike her previous experience when she was disguised as a man, which made it easy to be exposed.
When Jiang Lan came out, Qi Wuhan took a quick look at the clothes she was wearing. This time he didn't find anything wrong with it, so he took her out.
When Xie Yun came to find Jiang Lan, he heard that Qi Wuhan had taken her out. Then he went to Ye Rushui and asked about Jiang Lan's physical condition. Ye Rushui said that she had almost recovered.
"Thank you, brother. Can you do me a favor?"
"Okay~"
"This is the Ma Fei San I just developed. Brother Xie, please try it and see how it works."
“…Um, how do I try this?”
After a while, a wailing sound was heard from the house.
Ye Rushui put away the silver needle and analyzed to herself, "It seems that the medicine is still not effective enough. If I open the patient's stomach, I will have to find herbs with stronger paralysis effects."
"Um, Brother Ye, I remember I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Xie Yun slipped away as if escaping.
…
After leaving the palace, Jiang Lan, like everyone else, followed the sedan chair on foot.
A slender hand pushed aside the curtain and stretched out from inside, hooking a finger at her, motioning her to come closer.
After Jiang Lan came over, Qi Wuhan's voice came from inside the curtain.
"I'm a little bored, tell me a joke."
“.…..”
Jiang Lan thought he was being unreasonable and ignored him.
Qi Wuhan opened the curtain a little and glanced at her, "Why aren't you talking?"
Jiang Lan replied with a stern face: "I can't tell jokes."
"Then tell me a story." Qi Wuhan supported his head with one hand, a slight smile on his lips, looking very interested.
Jiang Lan thought for a while and began to tell the story.
"Once upon a time there was a girl who lost her mother when she was very young. Her father remarried not long afterward. She didn't like her stepmother and wasn't happy at home. Later, when she grew up, her father chose a husband for her. He was a perfect match for her. Others praised him as a gentleman and said he was a perfect match, even with a lantern. She naively believed him. Later, the marriage fell through, and her fiancé married her younger sister. Later, she was stalked by a scoundrel. Although he was shameless, he was good-looking, so she was bewitched and fell for him. She still remembered that it was snowing two days before the wedding, but on the wedding day, the snow stopped and the sky cleared up. It was a rare beautiful day. Her eldest brother saw her off. She cried as soon as she got into the bridal sedan, but she was afraid that her makeup would be ruined and people would see her and laugh at her during the wedding ceremony..."
Jiang Lan talked like this all the way, and Qi Wuhan listened all the way without interrupting her.
When they were almost outside the Wei Mansion, she stopped talking.
"Do you like your ex-fiancé?" he asked at this time.
Jiang Lan shook her head firmly.
"Then he is definitely not worthy of you." Qi Wuhan said in a firm tone.
Jiang Lan smiled and felt a little warm in her heart.
After arriving at the gate of Wei Mansion, Qi Wuhan did not get out of the sedan chair, but waited for Wei Taifu to come and greet him personally.
The first time Jiang Lan saw the other person, she felt that this person was somewhat similar to her father in some aspects, both of them were old foxes in the officialdom.
"It is truly an honor for Your Highness to be here. I am extremely grateful. If there is any inadequacy in the hospitality, please forgive me."
"You are too kind, Grand Master. I just came here to ask for a glass of wedding wine. I hope to share in your blessing and live a long life like you."
After some false politeness, Grand Tutor Wei led Qi Wuhan into the mansion.
Jiang Lan felt that the other party seemed to be looking at her. Could it be that he saw something?
She became more careful. After entering the mansion, she didn't look around. She just kept her head down and followed Qi Wuhan forward.
After bringing people to the place where they were going to listen to the opera, Qi Wuhan asked about Wei Heng, and Wei Taifu asked someone to find Wei Heng. After Wei Heng came, Qi Wuhan asked Wei Taifu to go and get busy first. Wei Taifu told Wei Heng to entertain them well, and then went to greet other guests.
Jiang Lan secretly observed Wei Heng, who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, gentle and elegant, adept at dealing with people, and very calm.
Qi Wuhan glanced slightly to the side, glanced in her direction, and asked casually, "I heard that the second young master's child can already help with cooking?"
Wei Heng was slightly startled, as if he had heard a completely unrelated question. He then regained his composure and replied, "Your Highness, you are joking. I am not married yet."
"Then you'd better hurry up. My second brother is two years younger than you, and his child is old enough to help with cooking." Qi Wuhan looked nonchalant, as if he didn't realize there was anything wrong with what he said. It seemed that he had not considered his actual situation at all. He was also two years older than you and had no children either.
Jiang Lan felt that he was stupid.
As soon as the second prince Mu Han was mentioned, Grand Tutor Wei came over with his men.
Jiang Lan secretly observed the second prince again and felt that he looked nothing like Qi Wuhan.
The second prince looks more like his mother, with fair skin, slender eyebrows and eyes, and a rather feminine appearance. Although he has a smile on his face, he always looks at people with squinted eyes, as if looking down on them.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince arrived first. It seems I am late. Did I miss any good show?"
"Second brother, you've arrived just in time. The show has just begun."
When Mu Han sat down, he glanced in Jiang Lan's direction and asked with a smile, "When did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a young eunuch with rosy lips and white teeth by his side? He even brought him along to the banquet?"
Jiang Lan felt like he was hinting at something obscene, and she didn't know what dirty thoughts were going on in his mind...
"Do I need to report to my second brother who are the people around me?" Qi Wuhan said indifferently.
Mu Han looked unhappy and his face became a little gloomy.
Just as Grand Tutor Wei was about to speak to smooth things over, Ye Xuanhe arrived, followed by Canglang and Lu Feng.
Jiang Lan lowered her head, not wanting to be recognized by the other party.
