Vol 2 Chapter 81 (2/2)

Fan Xian lowered his head He felt nervous He had gone to all this trouble, and yet he still couldn't even see Miss Lin's face Was it best to just give up? He wasn't sure whether this was his own fault or not Last ti and uard had been subjected to a torrent of abuse by Eunuch Hong and the head commander, so today they were extremely strict

”What are you talking about? This 'er fixed the guard with a glare

When the guard heard mention of Master Fei, he looked at Fan Xian with a sudden deference, silently stepping backward, but then he thought of so and frowned ”A student of Master Fei’s? I've never heard of such a thing”

Ye Ling'er also thought about it Any student of Master Fei would no doubt also be well known How come she had never heard of him? Suspicious, she turned and looked at Fan Xian But Fan Xian had prepared for this He shook his head gloomily, and fished out a token from his chest pocket

It was a token from the Overwatch Council No one could have counterfeited it – or more precisely, there was not a craftsiven to Fan Xian by Fei Jie in Danzhou when he was six years old

The guard took the token and looked at it It proved his identity beyond a shadow of a doubt He looked again at the youngskin, and he realized that this most definitely was a student of Master Fei, someone who had experihostly appearance was unmistakeable

Having received a sufficient guarantee, the guard let the at clusters of flowers as they walked along a stone-tiled path through the deeper within the courtyard

A servant girl ushered the and served them tea Fan Xian observed her movements and noticed that her everyyears of training at the palace A while later, an old woant air walked out ”Miss Ye, it's you”

Ye Ling'er clearly did not like this woement in response ”Where is Miss Lin?”

”Miss Lin is sleeping May I ask why you have co respectfully, but her tone of speech was clearly meant to keep people away Fan Xian couldn't help but wonder ould get in his way next

Ye Ling'er was not in the ht a doctor to see Miss Lin,” she said reproachfully ”Go and tell her When she is ready, this doctor will come and examine her”

The old lady looked at Fan Xian She knew this was the doctor ”You are aware of the young lady's status,” she said coldly ”Other than the palace physicians, who could treat her?”

Ye Ling'er brought up Fan Xian's identity as a student of Fei Jie Surprisingly, the old lady did not concede She was uard outside Fan Xian did not knohat the palace regulations were, but young un by their side Although they did not restrict thehtful spinsters of the court of the Qing dynasty in his previous world, these women were always loyal to a fault She absolutely would not allow her er

Fan Xian felt rather annoyed He cast a glance at Fan Ruoruo Fan Ruoruo understood what hewith regulations,” she said to Ye Ling'er, ”I suppose we had best leave This is not like any other place in the capital, after all”

Sure enough, Ye Ling'er was enraged She shot up and unleashed a torrent of abuse at the old woirl, he thought Who was going to teach her to control her temper in the future? At thatthe aggrieved old wo her a cup of tea

After a ed, and she hurried off Having heard all the coirls came out She saw that the old lady was not there, and ushered the three upstairs

Although Ye Ling'er had a telance at Fan Xian Fan Xian lowered his head a little, said nothing, and followed them up

He always carried things on him that people had no idea about – laxatives, knockout drops, aphrodisiacs, and not just er and a hidden crossbow too; all little tools to defend hiet himself out of any jam

As they entered Miss Lin's bedchamber, Fan Xian lowered his head He did not dare show that anything was off A delicate fragrance reached his nostrils He could tell that they were burning a specific type of incense that helped sick people convalesce, but it was concentrated too strongly, overpowering the delicate aroma of her boudoir

Ye Ling'er went behind a curtain and said so, and then was followed by Fan Ruoruo Fan Xian strained his ears, and heard that his sister was greeting the young wohed It seemed that she was short of breath In his mind, Fan Xian sketched out the scene He didn't kno he should act when he saw his bride-to-be

As he thought about it, Fan Xian realized that he was soirl in white who nibbled at the chicken leg Entering Miss Lin's bedchaan to wonder what her blushi+ng face ht look like

”Please enter, sir” Ye Ling'er conveyed Miss Lin's request

Fan Xian straightened his appearance slightly, lifted the curtain, and entered
