Speaking of the eldest prince Li Chenghao and his younger brother Li Chengdong, the two brothers have completely different personalities.

The boss has a bold and unruly personality. He has been fond of practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is also in good health and strong. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child. Looking at him like this, he seems to want to become a military commander.

However, since he is the eldest, he is not willing to fight, and the people behind him may not agree. The third child wants to leave a way out for his eldest brother.

As a prince, sometimes it's really not something you can just let go of without fighting. If you don't fight, the officials behind you will fight and push you forward. Even if you don't fight, you have to fight. They will use various means to force you to fight.

After Li Chengze got the news, he sent someone out of the palace to investigate. It turned out that the old man of the Zhou family was not well, and his heart skipped a beat.

Although he has no feelings for the Crown Princess and has never been seen by anyone, she is his official wife after all. Marrying a wife will be beneficial to his career in the court. Postponing the wedding will only do harm and no good.

A person was thinking alone in the study, and the message he replied said that the old man was really not well, and that everyone from the hospital had gone to check him out. His father also sent people to express condolences.

Li Chengze thought for a while and raised his head, "Chang Ji, go to Qinghui Garden."

"yes."

Now he can come whenever he wants, without having to prepare in advance, and he is closer than before.

"Master, didn't you say you wouldn't come in the afternoon?"

Huilan's mouth was red and her body smelled like spicy hotpot.

"You ate hot pot secretly again, why did you drink alcohol?"

"My last reward included some jars of pretty good wine. I've been craving for it for a long time. You're not here either. You can't drink recently, so I don't dare to say anything.

I finally had some free time so I secretly drank some, and I didn’t even finish two ounces. I just had one drink.”

"Well, don't you want to make some plum wine?"

"Yes, I'll clean it up in the afternoon. I need to clean it and dry it. There's also osmanthus wine. I'll wait until I finish it so I can try my handiwork. I also made some medicinal wine, but it's not ready yet."

"You are really capable of tossing. Okay, I'm waiting for your medicinal wine. You guys go down, I have something to tell you."

Li Chengze waved his hand and told Chang Ji Dingxiang and others to retreat.

After Huilan and others had left, she asked, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

Li Chengze sat there and tapped the coffee table rhythmically with his fingers, the expression on his face was also thinking about whether it was possible.

"If...I said if, I want to extend the life of an old man, um...I mean, the old man is sick and I want to delay it for a while.

To put it bluntly, the Crown Princess’s great-great-grandfather is dying. If he leaves early, the Crown Princess must observe filial piety, which is not good for her. I hope the wedding can be held as scheduled."

After hearing this, Huilan suddenly realized, "You want to delay the patient's time until after the wedding... it doesn't matter?"

Li Chengze nodded, "Yes, you can do it?"

"It can be done, but there is a price, and I have to see the patient in person and diagnose the pulse. I can't prescribe medicine if I can't see the person."

She thought about it but said it bluntly. If she could help the prince, it would be beneficial to her. She had no right to prevent the prince from entering. It would be foolish to stop her.

Helping him is equivalent to increasing her own value. In the future, the prince will not give up on her easily. After all, she will be useful to him.

"Whatever you want, you will never refuse if you can achieve it."

Li Chengze made a serious promise with a solemn expression.

Huilan waved her hand, "You misunderstood, it's not that I want any price, but that the patient needs to pay a price for extending his life.

Let's put it this way, such a thing is almost impossible, and I can't guarantee that it can be done. If it can be done, then if the patient was still awake before, he would only be able to survive after taking medicine, and he would not be able to stay awake."

Everything has a price. The lifespan of a mortal is limited and cannot be extended indefinitely. The longevity elixir is so valuable, but she doesn't even have it.

"I understand. You are waiting for my news. Do you need any medicinal materials?"

"If necessary, I will write an order to Chang Ji. Some medicines are very expensive and may be troublesome."

Huilan nodded calmly. Things must use the elixir of space, otherwise it would be impossible. However, she still accumulated some medicinal materials and could keep them for other purposes.

"I know, I will instruct Chang Ji. If you need any medicine in the future, just ask Chang Ji for it."

For the first time, Li Chengze began to attach great importance to her abilities.

"Thank you, Master. I can also promise you that I will not poison anyone in the backyard. This is against the rules of my medicine-refining clan. If I violate this rule, my whole family, my parents, my brothers, and myself will have to die."

, die without a burial place.”

Huilan raised two fingers to solemnly make her promise. Some things must be done first. Trust is cultivated bit by bit.

Li Chengze looked at her with deep eyes, and nodded after a long time, "Well, you are a sensible person. I remember your goodness. As long as you don't violate my taboos, I can protect you and tolerate you.

In the future, when you are older, Gu will give you a child so that you can rely on and secure your position."

This promise is very heavy, and it also shows that men actually know everything, it’s just whether they are willing to give it to you or not.

"Be more loving, sir. I am always your woman, and he loves and protects me. Naturally, I will turn to you. I don't understand the outside world. I just like refining medicine, and I just want to live a safe life."

She knelt on the ground to give thanks.

"Get up, you've helped me a lot, I've made it difficult for you."

Li Chengze is not a heartless person, on the contrary, he is affectionate. It can be seen from Grandma Li that even if she is left out, she is still grateful to the old man for protecting him.

Huilan raised her head slightly and looked at him, "Master, you will protect me, right? You won't abandon me, I'm very useful."

Pityful, with a trace of fear and uncertainty, and some cautious desire, hoping that he would not be left behind.

Li Chengze thought of what he had found out about the Ding family. In fact, this girl was no different from him.

He touched her head and said sympathetically, "No, I will never abandon you. Every word I say counts."

"Thank you, sir. I have to see myself to diagnose my pulse. I can't just listen to what others say."

There is nothing we can do about this, otherwise we will not be able to control the dosage of the medicine. What if the patient cannot bear the medicine and dies after taking one pack of medicine? Isn't that a bad thing?

"I'll think of a way."

"Well, then I'll send you my sincere greetings. Something big has happened to the Zhou family right now. I'm just not sensible enough to keep you here. It will affect your reputation. Everyone inside and outside will be watching."

Huilan has a flat mouth.

Li Chengze smiled and stretched out his hand to scratch her nose.

"I hate it. Why do you always like to scratch my nose? It won't look good if it's flat."

Huilan covered her nose and glared at him displeased.

"Lan'er is beautiful no matter what. I'm waiting for you to grow up."

Li Chengze leaned close to her ear and breathed softly, teasing her deliberately. He liked to see her blush, it was so beautiful.

"Hmph! Let's go quickly."

Huilan waved her hand shyly and embarrassedly to chase them away.
