Lin Wan'er was curious ”If if”
”If what?”
”Never mind”
Lin Wan'er bit her lower lip and pushed the doubts from her mind
”There's so else I need to tell you” Fan Xian saw the faint trace of sweat along her forehead, below her fine black hair His heart ached ”I was serious when I told you about your health today You need to recuperate Clear rice porridge and a few vegetables ht be easy on the stomach, but it won't help your illness”
She knew, deep down, that the wonderful surprise she had met with today would not last When she heard him talk, she was ilooe, her face dirief ”The imperial physicians have studied it, and they say it is not easy to treat Although ether some day, I fear I ear you out”
Fan Xian suddenly fixed her with a serious expression ”Goat ive me a moment, I'll leave you some of the pills I prescribed you Take them like I said, and your health will recover”
Lin Wan'er sighed ”The iet worse every year”
Fan Xian laughed ”Of course, ood as the imperial physicians Even if my teacher was in the city, we'd probably still have to treat you in secret Your health is what's important I'm worried that the nobles of the palace won't dare try Anyway, eat like I've told you But there's soht of We need to you build up your strength too Whenthe border at thelots of rare medical herbs—then we'll have a chance to treat your sickness Diagnosis is only one part of treath there are a lot of rare medical herbs in the palace, in all honesty, I don't think they're as good as the things in my teacher's collection”
Lin Wan'er listened to his earnest words She was one to all this trouble for me, master Fan”
Fan Xian was taken aback How could she still talk so forht Once she had confir man in front of her was her future husband, Lin Wan'er's speech had become more reserved This was the way of women He was a little confused He s me master Fan?”
Lin Wan'er was curious ”What should I call you?” Suddenly she realized what he meant, and blushed bashfully She turned away from him and spoke in a tiny, timid voice ”When we areelse”
”What I meant was, you can call h
When Lin Wan'er realized what he meant, she was bashful and annoyed She wanted to reach out a hand and slap him, but when she remembered that she had only ever er, she stayed her hand, gruazed at her slender shoulder blades ”When we are h above sea level, and there are hot springs It will be good for your health”
When she heard the word ”htly bashful She nodded her head, though she didn't understand what ”sea level”else came to her ”Is Master Fei really your teacher?” she asked quietly
”Yeah” Fan Xian sht that since Master Fei worked for the Overwatch Council, he was a very secretive man It turns out that everyone in the capital has heard of him”
Lin Wan'er shly praised for his service in the wars in the north and the west Of course he's well-known But everyone is scared of his poisons, so they hide from him” She looked at Fan Xian's handso your teacher?” she asked curiously
Fan Xian shrugged ”Miss Lin, it's a very long and troublesome story, and to this day I'm still not sure I understand it coht up in that trouble too You will have to think it over”
Lin Wan'er smiled and shook her head She too knew that behind this e and division of benefits When she had learned of it, the pressure of the conflict had made her illness worse But since she had learned that Heaven was keeping an eye out for her after all, and the young son of the Fan faratitude to Heaven; what more could she ask for? She recalled the recent scuffle in the capital ”Master Fan, sometimes I truly do not understand You are the son of Count Sinan, a student of Master Fei of the Overwatch Council, and an accomplished poet that line, ‘Ten thousand uest’, did you really write that?”
Fan Xian did not see any doubt in her face; she simply asked a question He responded with curiosity ”What's wrong?”
A trace of anger flashed across Lin Wan'er's face ”The Eer loved that line, but there has been talk in the palace recently They say that the last four lines were copied fro ry
Fan Xian now realized that the matter of the poetry contest would not be resolved so easily, and that the Guo family's lawsuit had not ceased He had not expected this criticisry Instead, he looked at his fiancée's tired face and felt a twinge of heartache He patted her hand gently and told her not to talk any more
”I'll come and see you as often as I can”
”But if someone discovers you, then what?”
”You're right I'ht, that old pervert will kill whoever found me It's a problem, and one of these days I'll have to sort it out it with hiht of the terrible things that could happen
