After a long time, the fourth prince Ji Chen continued: "Are you feeling better? Xu Lan couldn't help but feel a little shy on her face, nodded and said, "My body is no longer in trouble." ”

After saying this, the room fell silent again.

But this time it was not Ji Chen who broke the silence, Xu Lan was really thirsty, she just got out of bed with her body propped up, just wanted to drink water, and now seeing that Ji Chen didn't speak, Xu Lan no longer hesitated, sat down by herself, and poured herself a glass of water.

Xu Lan may have been too thirsty, so he drank three or four glasses of water in a row, and when he finished drinking the water, he found that Ji Chen had also sat down and was sitting opposite her, looking at Xu Lan without blinking.

Seeing that Xu Lan finally finished drinking the water and looked at herself, w and Xu Lan couldn't help but feel a little red on her face, Ji Chen couldn't help but smile: "It's okay, you drink slowly, don't worry about me." ”

As soon as he said this, how could Xu Lan still be able to drink, so he could only pretend to put the cup down as if nothing happened, "It's okay, I've finished drinking, why do you still have something to say today?" ”

Xu Lan originally thought that Ji Chen was looking for him at night, there was something important, but unexpectedly, Ji Chen shook his head and said, "I don't have anything important, I'm just worried about you, after all, recently," Ji Chen said in a thoughtful tone: "It seems that a lot of big things have happened in King Xu's Mansion. ”

Xu Lan is such a smart person, naturally he also heard the meaning of Ji Chen's words, when he thought of his father and what happened to him, his whole expression couldn't help but sink, and he looked very depressed,

"You already know it, I'm in this palace, it's really not a good life, but it's barely passable."

When Ji Chen heard this, he didn't know why, he was in the capital, and he had obviously seen so many people, so many things, and he had seen a lot of things worse than Xu Lan, but Xu Lan's words made her feel very sour in her heart, and even a trace of pity.

After a while, Ji Chen pretended to be casual again, and said, "You don't have to worry, this matter has been solved after all, and your life will be better in the future." ”

As soon as Xu Lan heard this, she looked at Ji Chen's very uncomfortable face, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Fourth prince, you must rarely coax people." ”

When Ji Chen heard Xu Lan suddenly say this, his face suddenly turned a little red, and he said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Xu Lan said with a smile: "Because your words are really comforting, people can't be happy." Ji Chen didn't know why, looking at Xu Lan's smiling appearance, he was shy in his heart, but when he saw Xu Lan so happy, he was also a little happy. I couldn't help but say, "You're right, I really don't comfort people." ”

After this talk, the atmosphere between the two people eased up, and it was not as awkward as it was just now.

After a while, Ji Chen suddenly took out a jade thing from his arms. He seemed to have made a lot of determination, and then slowly handed the thing to Xu Lan.

Xu Lan took a closer look, and it turned out to be the jade pendant she had returned to Ji Chen on that day.

"You, what do you mean?" When Xu Lan saw this jade pendant, she didn't know why, she no longer had the mood she hated when she saw this jade pendant for the first time, but instead had an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

At this moment, Ji Chen didn't know why, but there was some fever on his face, and he said: "What I said is your gift, you didn't like me before, now, are you willing to accept this gift?" ”

After saying this, Ji Chen's eyes kept staring at Xu Lan, but Xu Lan couldn't help but feel a little weak and didn't peek at him too much.

It's just that Xu Lan didn't refuse directly, I saw Xu Lan pick up a cup, pretending to drink water, but said vaguely in her mouth: "What kind of gift, if you have to give it, just put it there." ”

As soon as Ji Chen heard this, his face bloomed with joy, and Xu Lan was also a little happy when she saw him.

This gift was finally given, Ji Chen's heart was also a lot more relaxed, he looked at Xu Lan's appearance, and a warmth surged in his heart, only to see him say: ? Don't be sad, this is something your father did not do well, but you have to believe that someone will take good care of you in the future, and you will never be wronged like this again. ”

Although Ji Chen's words were unknown, in this scene, Xu Lan still understood his meaning, but blushed, but did not respond to what Ji Chen said.

After a while, Xu Lan seemed to suddenly think of something, he raised his head, looked at Ji Chen seriously and said, "I just want to ask you to help me with one thing now, okay?" “

Ji Chen saw Xu Lan's eyes full of trust, and his heart couldn't help but move, and said: "Naturally, it's okay, if you say anything, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you." ”

When Xu Lan heard him say this, her face was a little calmer: "You can guess this matter, what I am worried about now is just my brother's injury, and the person who harmed my brother." ”

After Xu Lan said this, she glanced up at Ji Chen, and saw that the expression on her face was not impatient, but she still listened to Xu Lan very carefully, Xu Lan couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart, and continued: "I know this matter, it's really difficult, because my brother is injured, neither human evidence nor physical evidence is left, but there is Dali Temple in it, fishing in troubled waters, so if you can do it, you can try to help my brother find out the real murderer, if you can't do it, I will definitely not blame you." ”

"Actually, it's not appropriate to let you do this rashly, but you also know now that I am in the Xu Wangfu, there is really no place to speak, and now I am the only one who can help me."

Ji Chen originally felt sorry for Xu Lan, and had an indescribable good impression of Xu Lan, seeing him looking at himself so sincerely, and contacting Xu Lan's experience in the past few days, he immediately said: "You don't have to say such a thing, even if you don't speak, Xu Zhen is my best friend, and I will definitely do my best to help him find the real murderer." ”

Speaking of this, Ji Chen paused: "It's just that it's you right now, and now that you have annoyed Prince Xu, I'm afraid that after you, you will have to be careful in this Xu Palace." And you must pay attention to that Chu Wantian, she has always reported flaws, this time you did not come forward to apologize to him in person, I am afraid that she still hates you in her heart, you must be very careful in the future, I am in my mansion now, I can't come over to help you often. I can only wronged you alone. ”

In the past few days, although she said that she has her own sister, Xu Xin often comes over to comfort the teacher, but Xu Lan is still very aggrieved in her heart, her father does not help herself, because of her own interests, and pushes her daughter out to apologize, so that everyone in the capital makes Xu Lan laugh, Xu Lan said that it is also false, and now when she heard that an outsider can plan like this for herself, Xu Lan couldn't help but feel that the feeling of grievance in the afternoon came up again, and her eyes were almost wet.

But in this situation, Xu Lan really didn't want to cry in front of Ji Chen, so she could only hold back her tears and pretend not to care: "This is natural, do I still need you to worry?" I will definitely take care of myself. ”

Ji Chen couldn't understand Xu Lan's deliberate recklessness, but he knew that Xu Lan's self-esteem was very strong, although Xu Lan was a woman, she was not soft and weak, and while being hearty and generous, it also meant that she had extremely strong self-esteem.

So Ji Chen didn't deliberately expose Xu Lan, but said: "I naturally know that you are very smart, but you should be careful in everything." Anyway, it's not too early today, I just made a way in front of me, dragging your two maids, and now I think they're coming soon, I'm a big man after all, you're a girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet, it's really not good if someone sees it, I'll leave, be careful in the future. ”

Saying that, Ji Chen stood up and wanted to leave through the window, Xu Lan hurriedly said: "I will take care of myself, and you should be careful on the way back." ”

Ji Chen nodded, and did not continue to say to Xu Landuo, only to see that the black shadow flashed and disappeared, leaving Xu Lan alone to look at the window.

"You too, why are you so stupid, you can still fall down when you put away your clothes, and the clothes that you finally washed are dirty, if the young lady knows, she can't teach you a lesson!" At this time, the sound of Baizhu faintly came from outside the door.

"Oh, my good sister, can you help me, Miss is still sick now, don't bother Miss more, I'll wash these clothes well tomorrow!" This is Bai Qi's voice.

Xu Lan heard the funny comings and goings of the two maids in the room, and she was in a good mood.

Also, there are people in this world who let her down and shed tears, but there are also people who make him happy and give her hope.

At this moment, Xu Lan really felt that she had woken up, whether it was sobering up from the previous illusion or waking up from self-pity

However, it is always a good thing.

Xu Lan, who was thinking like this, suddenly saw the jade pendant left by Ji Chen on the table, and a sweet smile suddenly appeared in her heart.

So much better.

Xu Lan happily walked over and said that the jade pendant was connected with a red rope and hung around her neck, and the warm jade pendant was of high quality, not cold at all, but warm.

Just like the guy who just came.

seems to be a cold and ruthless person, but in fact, he is the warmest and cares about her the most, Xu Lan thought of this, and there was a sweet smile on her mouth.
