After separating from Lihua, Gan Qiongying didn't forget to bring the food box, where was the radish cake prepared early in the morning of the full moon, an important prop for her to connect with Gan Lin today.

took the food box, Gan Qiongying immediately turned around and urged Gonggong Li: "Please lead the way as soon as possible, Your Majesty must be in a hurry." ”

"Is it for Your Majesty? The princess gives it to the old slave. ”

After all, it is the palace, and the food brought in from outside is not good to be sent in directly, so you have to go around the imperial dining room first and test the poison according to the rules.

Of course, Gan Qiongying also understood this truth, and quickly handed over the food box.

Gonggong Li walked beside Gan Qiongying, reached out to pick up the food box, and handed it to the palace maid beside Gan Qiongying. Then he kept walking in front of Gan Qiongying's side, and his steps were so fast that he was obviously more anxious than Gan Qiongying.

The closer Gan Qiongying got to Gan Lin's dormitory, the more she couldn't help but think about Gan Lin's expression and reaction when she saw her.

Gan Qiongying was very apprehensive along the way, strictly speaking, this was the second time she met Gan Lin.

But because she occupies Princess Duanrong's body and also has the memories and feelings of Princess Duanrong, Gan Lin has already subtly become the only family member in her heart, a younger brother who depends on each other, and the person she knows and cares about the most besides herself.

Gan Qiongying has no way to get news from the palace for a while, every time she remembers that Gan Lin rushed to drink that bowl of medicine in the queen mother's bedroom last time, and fell ill in pain in front of her, Gan Qiongying felt very distressed.

It was easy to turn around, go around and around, and finally arrived in front of Ganlin's dormitory.

Gan Qiongying looked up with a smile.

She could imagine that Gan Lin would definitely stand on the steps and wait for her, because in Princess Duanrong's memory, the two of them grew up, and every time they separated, Gan Lin would always stand under the porch and wait for her to come back.

When I saw her again, I called softly: "Sister." ”

At that time, no matter what kind of grievances Princess Duanrong suffered outside, she would melt into this "sister".

But Gan Qiongying looked up with a smile, but she didn't see Gan Lin at the door.

Gonggong Li's footsteps were timely, he had been by Gan Lin's side for many years, and he knew everything about the two sisters and brothers, and noticed the disappointment in Gan Qiongying's eyes and the slightly dull movement of his steps, so he turned around and bowed.

He lowered his voice and said to Gan Qiongying: "Your Majesty wants to wait for the princess at the door, it is the old slave who must let your majesty wait in the house, Your Majesty has been infected with wind and cold for many days since the princess left last time, and she has never seen well. ”

When Gan Qiongying heard this, her heart felt like she had fallen to the bottom, and her expression changed.

"What! Your Majesty is sick? ”

Gan Qiongying almost instantly thought that if Gan Lin had been sick since she left last time, it might probably not be a cold, but a drink of too many doses of Yitonic soup and a severe injury.

For the first time in her life, Gan Qiongying understood what it meant to have a heart like a knife, she didn't care what to say to Gonggong Li, so she quickened her pace and walked in front of Gonggong Li.

didn't care about the etiquette of meeting the emperor, didn't wait for the communication or the summons inside, directly carried the skirt, ran up step by step and three steps, the head of the pearls jingled chaotically, but it was not as panicked as she was beating gongs and drums in her heart at the moment.

Fortunately, no one stopped Gan Qiongying, obviously these palace people had been replaced by Li Gongbu in advance, and they all hung their heads and stood in the hall like wooden people.

As soon as Gan Qiongying entered the hall, she already smelled the smell of medicine in the hall, all the windows were closed in the daytime, the air was very poor, and the light was relatively dim.

Gan Qiongying wanted to open her mouth to shout Gan Lin, but her throat seemed to be blocked, so she could only speed up her pace and walk inside.

After passing through the outer room, he went around the screen, and Gan Lin coughed low inside, and he obviously heard footsteps, and thought that the palace people were coming to pass it on.

"Let the princess wait a moment," Gan Lin's hoarse voice came from inside, "I'll go out later." ”

Gan Lin said, struggling to prop himself up from the bed, he had already dressed neatly, and there was a lot of powder on his face, in order to cover the pale of his face, he wanted to clean himself up like a person, so as not to worry his sister.

But his health is getting worse, and if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to see his sister and apologize for the expulsion of his sister last time, Gan Lin might not have the strength to get up from the bed.

The dragon robe on his body hung on his body empty, and when Gan Qiongying bypassed the screen and saw him, he was hunched over, holding the relief at the head of the bed, covering his mouth and coughing violently.

"Ahem, ahem, ......"

Gan Qiongying stood behind him, and once again felt the cramping of her heart, Gan Qiongying pressed her heart, just a back, she even knew how much Gan Lin had lost weight.

Gan Qiongying was stunned and watched Gan Lin always holding the relief, her thin body trembling, and it took a while before she finally recovered.

After relieving himself, he slowly straightened up and tidied up his appearance, and was more glad that this cough could at least make his face look ruddy and not scare his sister.

Then Gan Lin straightened his back and turned his head slowly, holding up his imperial majesty as much as possible, and preparing to instruct the palace people to pass Gan Qiongying in.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw Gan Qiongying standing behind him who didn't know when.

Gan Qiongying bit her lip, waiting for the painful feeling in her heart to pass, and looked at Gan Lin with some redness in her eyes.

Gan Lin's expression was stunned, and his eyes were flustered for a moment, like when he was a child, he was afraid of being discovered by his sister after doing something wrong.

The two sisters and brothers looked at each other quietly from a distance, and neither of them spoke for a while.

Gan Qiongying's lips opened several times, and finally suffered a sharp pain in her heart, and finally squeezed out a sentence from her throat that was even hoarser than Gan Lin's coughing voice: "Immortal slave, why have you lost so much weight......

Gan Lin's eyes were originally full of helplessness and unpreparedness, but when he heard Gan Qiongying open his mouth, he called him an immortal slave and cared about his weight loss.

His expression shook fiercely, and he thought for a moment that he had returned to his childhood, back to the years when he was free from his sister and depended on each other.

At that time, my sister liked to call him "Immortal Slave" the most.

This name was also given to him by his sister.

Immortal slave, immortal slave, willing to be an immortal slave, Duan Rong only hoped that because of his mother's low status, he was disliked by King Hui, and abandoned his thin cat-cub-like brother who was generally raised in the cold palace, so that he could live for a long time.

So Gan Lin grinned, but before he could say anything, tears welled up first.

The hot tears burned the thick fat powder that he had put on his face today, and he flushed out two white marks very comically.

He stood on the edge of the bed staggeringly, his voice trembled, and he cried out as if crying: "Sister......"
