Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Zhan Lan Gets Drunk Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Zhan Lan Gets Drunk Zhan Hui was striking the wooden pile while waiting for Zhan Lan’s answer. Zhan Lan said with a smile, “I’m just guessing. You’re so impressive, His Majesty must appreciate you a lot, definitely wanting to summon you!” Zhan Hui ruffled Zhan Lan’s hair, “You clever thing, I am indeed going to the palace tomorrow; His Majesty has summoned me just as you said.” Zhan Lan urgently asked, “So soon!” Zhan Hui lowered his voice, “If I don’t go, it would be defying the imperial edict. Alas, I dare not disobey.” Zhan Lan clenched her teeth, not expecting Emperor Xuanwu to be in such a hurry! Tomorrow, when Zhan Hui enters the palace, he will inevitably meet Emperor Xuanwu’s eldest daughter, the Princess Si Yao. From now on, Emperor Xuanwu has already planned to sideline the Zhan Family. Once Zhan Hui marries the Princess and becomes the Prince Consort, he will definitely be separated from the military. Naturally, he will lose his military power. No emperor wishes to see a Prince Consort holding military authority! The so-called Prince Consort is just a nominal title, merely to counterbalance the Zhan Family! Such terrifying imperial tactics! In his previous life, Si Yao fell in love with Zhan Hui at first sight and would marry no other. Although Zhan Hui did not like the Princess, he was forced to marry her out of helplessness! After the marriage, Zhan Hui’s life was extremely stifling. Eventually, he was framed by Zhan Peng. After a banquet, accusations flew while he was drunk, claiming he had dishonored one of Emperor Xuanwu’s consorts. That led to such a tragic ending! If Zhan Hui enters the palace this time, his marriage to the Princess will be set in stone! Right now, what Zhan Lan needed to do was to prevent Zhan Hui from going to the palace! ... Shortly after Zhan Hui left the Martial Arts Arena, Zhan Lan also departed. She changed into men’s clothing, disguised herself, and went to the Qilin Underground Palace to find Alchemist Qi. Today, the skylight of the Qilin Underground Palace was not open, making it somewhat dark, with several candles casting a mysterious glow over the palace. A young boy in white sat heavily on the main seat of the underground palace. Zhan Lan waved at Young Master Xiao Luobai, but he just glanced at Zhan Lan before rising and leaving with a cold face. Zhan Lan raised an eyebrow, wondering what was wrong. When had she offended this Young Master? Previously, he was always happy when she visited. Zhan Lan was either playing soccer with him or playing chess. Why was he unhappy today? Zhan Lan withdrew her hand awkwardly hanging in mid-air and coughed embarrassingly. Following Zhan Lan to the Qilin Underground Palace was the leader of the Death Guard, Long Kong, who scratched his head. Ah! Just yesterday, he had seen the Young Master and reported that Miss Zhan was alright, except for one night when a very tall man entered Miss Zhan’s room. And that man didn’t leave her room until midnight. Since then, the Young Master had never smiled again. Did he... say something wrong? Zhan Lan didn’t know why Young Master Xiao Luobai was angry; today he didn’t even call her ‘sister’. Truly a child’s face, changing moods like the weather in June! “Miss Zhan, you’re here!” Alchemist Qi came out cheerily and spoke with Zhan Lan. Zhan Lan nodded slightly, “Alchemist Qi, I need to trouble you. Do you have a type of powder that causes rash all over the body but doesn’t harm the person or get discovered?” Alchemist Qi readily replied, “That’s easy, some herbs naturally have this effect, causing rashes that look scary but don’t harm the body.” Zhan Lan smiled, “Then I’ll leave it to you!” In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Alchemist Qi had ground the medicinal powder for Zhan Lan and gave her a couple of instructions. “Girl, be careful. If you accidentally touch it, you must wash repeatedly with soap pod in cold water. It will subside after half an hour.” Zhan Lan nodded, “Thank you, Alchemist Qi!” “Don’t forget to tally this on the account!” Zhan Lan said with a beaming smile. Alchemist Qi waved his hand and said, “No need, such little things don’t require silver, what kind of person do you take me for!” Zhan Lan gladly accepted and left the Qilin underground palace. As Zhan Lan was leaving, Long Kong quickly asked Xiao Luobai behind the secret door, “Young Master, should we continue to follow Miss Zhan?” Xiao Luobai gave Long Kong a stern look, “What Young Master? In half a month, I’ll be twelve years old, just follow properly and don’t lose her. If anything happens to her, you’re the one I’ll be asking!” Long Kong swallowed hard and nodded, “Yes!” The Death Guards who came together quickly followed him back. Zhan Lan returned to the General Mansion and saw Liu Xi waiting for her in the room. “Why are you here?” Zhan Lan asked curiously. Liu Xi bowed slightly, “Miss Zhan Lan, as Miss Zhan Qingqing is getting married, the Old Madam has assigned me to serve you!” Zhan Lan laughed heartily, “Very good, now I have someone close by me!” Liu Xi felt guilty; she couldn’t offend either side and could only deal with the Xingtian Department for now. If the information she provided was not valuable, Mu Yan might replace her. “Miss, I will go back to pack up and move in tomorrow,” Liu Xi said with a slight smile. Zhan Lan nodded, “Of course, you can stay in the room next to mine; the one next to my bedroom is too small and has already been claimed by Little Black!” “Yes, Miss!” Liu Xi bowed again to Zhan Lan. ... In the evening, Zhan Lan alone carried a food box to meet Zhan Hui. The handsome young Zhan Hui was reading in the room and stood up happily when he saw Zhan Lan, “How come you are here!” Zhan Lan placed the food box in front of Zhan Hui. “Inside here is Plum Wine from the Zhen Wine Workshop. I just passed by and bought a few bottles for you to try.” Zhan Hui opened the food box, saw the marinated meat and Plum Wine, and his face broke into a smile. “Lan, you know, I haven’t had Plum Wine at all this year,” Zhan Hui excitedly took one of the bottles and pulled the cork out. Zhan Lan sat down smiling, and the two of them drank together. A sip of the sweet yet spicy Plum Wine made Zhan Hui feel refreshed instantly. “Big brother, don’t get greedy. Just have a little taste, you have to go to the palace tomorrow!” Zhan Lan cautioned. Zhan Hui pursed his lips and said, “Although your big brother can’t hold his liquor, these three small cups are just like drinking water; don’t worry, I’ll just drink the rest when I return to the mansion tomorrow.” Zhan Lan picked up another pot of wine, tilted her head back, and gulped it down. Zhan Hui looked at Zhan Lan in surprise; her drinking style was indeed like those of the soldiers in the army. Bold and unrestrained! Zhan Lan put down the wine pot, picked up a piece of marinated beef, and smiled, “Big brother, you know, I’ve had a good tolerance for alcohol since I was little!” Zhan Hui touched Zhan Lan’s forehead with his finger, “You really have a man’s personality!” Zhan Lan laughed heartily, “Haha, if I were a man, I would definitely marry Chu Yin!” Zhan Hui shook his head, “What’s so good about that girl? She’s both clumsy and fierce!” Zhan Lan glanced reproachfully at Zhan Hui, “Big brother, let me tell you, Chu Yin’s fierceness is all a façade, she’s just a paper tiger, actually very timid!” As Zhan Lan spoke, her eyes welled up; in her previous life, the boldest thing Chu Yin ever did was to plead for her in the palace! That girl looks fierce, but a mouse could make her jump three feet high in fright! Zhan Hui raised his eyebrows, “I don’t believe that; she looks very fierce when she scolds me!” Zhan Lan waved her hand dismissively, “You men just lack insight. Chu Yin is really adorable!” Zhan Hui snorted; he suddenly grabbed Zhan Lan’s arm and said sternly, “Hey, you can’t drink anymore. You just said you bought the wine for me, didn’t you? Why have you drunk it all yourself?” Zhan Lan shook the wine bottle slightly, “Just two sips left, let’s finish it!” Zhan Hui looked at Zhan Lan’s flushed cheeks and didn’t stop her anymore; he let her be! The little girl was always boasting about her drinking capacity. The sight of Zhan Lan drunk, he had seen it before, and it was much cuter than usual!
