"You're quite self-aware. I won't talk to you here anymore. I'm going to the pharmacy to do my own research. He'll be back in a bit, and you can figure out what to do yourselves. There's food and drink in the kitchen. If you want any vegetables, just pick them from the garden in the backyard. But there aren't many varieties, so be prepared."
Yi Zexuan got up and saw him to the door: "I won't see you off. If we can't figure it out, we won't. It's just a matter of leaving a few years earlier."
The man scoffed, "Leave a few years earlier? Are you willing to leave a few years earlier?"
After saying that, he left.
When Lin Ziwen returned, he found no one in the house. When he went to the backyard, he saw Yi Zexuan picking vegetables.
"Oh, that's unusual. You're actually picking vegetables yourself." Lin Ziwen walked up to him.
"What are you saying? Back when we were fighting on the front lines, we picked them all the time."
Lin Ziwen squatted down and picked the vegetables with him, asking, "So? Are you going to cook for yourself today?"
"Do you remember the big stew we used to eat?"
Lin Ziwen raised an eyebrow: "That's all too familiar."
"How about we have that big stew again today?"
"That would be wonderful, and it's quite rare for Chef Yi to cook himself."
Yi Zexuan stood up with the vegetable basket in his arms and said, "No, I'll pick the vegetables, and you can handle the rest."
Lin Ziwen was speechless for a moment: "Then what are you doing?"
Yi Zexuan explained, "I have been poisoned and should rest properly. The fact that you came to pick vegetables is already a great help to you."
Lin Ziwen stepped forward, took the basket of vegetables from his hands, and said, "Then I really have to thank you."
There's no need for such formalities between us.
Lin Ziwen scoffed and said as he walked back, "Then you should go back to your room and rest. I'll go cook."
"Thank you for your trouble."
"By the way, where is he?"
"He went to study that poison."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ziwen laughed: "How did you suddenly start researching that poison? How did you convince him?"
"There's no way, you don't need to ask so many questions."
Lin Ziwen scoffed again and said, "I don't care." With that, Lin Ziwen picked up the vegetables and left.
When I got back, I looked through the crack in the door of the pharmacy, but it was pitch black inside and I couldn't see anything no matter how hard I looked.
"What are you doing?" The man suddenly appeared behind Lin Ziwen.
Lin Ziwen was startled and, after regaining his composure, asked, "What are you doing outside?"
"I just went to get something, what are you doing here?"
"Yi Zexuan said you were researching something here, so I came to ask if you wanted to have dinner together?"
The man walked past Lin Ziwen and went into the house: "I'm not eating. There's something new here that I need to study carefully. I won't come out until I figure it out. You don't need to worry about me."
"What..." Before Lin Ziwen could finish speaking, the man closed the door.
Lin Ziwen, feeling deeply wronged after being turned away, said, "What did I do wrong? Why are you treating me like this?"
He snorted and then went to cook.
Yi Zexuan was leisurely lying on the couch. Lin Ziwen passed by and saw him lying on the couch by the door. He couldn't help but spit in his direction.
"If you have any grievances, you can bring them up. You don't have to be so secretive," Yi Zexuan's voice came out.
"I have no grievances, I just can't stand the attitude of you landlords."
Yi Zexuan just laughed it off and ignored him.
Lin Ziwen pouted and clicked his tongue again.
About half an hour later, Lin Ziwen's meal was ready.
"Hey? Get up, dinner's ready, come and eat."
Yi Zexuan sat up, and the two sat down together. Lin Ziwen handed him a pot of wine.
"Come on, this pot of wine has been warmed up, drink it to warm yourself up."
You poured yourself a glass and then poured him one too: "Come, I, the king, toast you."
After the two had a drink, Lin Ziwen put down his cup and said, "Everything has gone smoothly since we got here. After he cured the poison, even if he doesn't go down, we have a way to deal with it. I thought we would have to wear him down for a few days."
"It's just that the poison in my body is mild, and I don't know if the antidote he developed can cure the princess's poison."
"They're all the same kind of poison, how could they not be cured?"
"You're quite self-aware. I won't talk to you here anymore. I'm going to the pharmacy to do my own research. He'll be back in a bit, and you can figure out what to do yourselves. There's food and drink in the kitchen. If you want any vegetables, just pick them from the garden in the backyard. But there aren't many varieties, so be prepared."
