Chapter 385: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (30)
The forest was very uneasy at night, with wolves howling from time to time. The two sat facing each other, not daring to fall asleep, for fear that something would run in.

Even if it wasn't an animal, there were other dangers, such as those men in black who didn't know whether to live or die. They seemed to be very capable, escaping the wolves' pursuit, not all of them escaped, but there were always some who survived.

What if they turned back to confirm whether Ye Xiao was dead or alive, wouldn't they be killed in their sleep?

What's more, as the emperor's most trusted person, Ye Xiao also has a relatively important position in the court, so when he was discovered missing, someone would definitely come to look for him.

They won't go out because it's too dangerous outside. So all they can do now is stay in this cave and wait for rescue.

There was a whistling sound coming from outside the cave, and the half-man-high weeds were blown in one direction. The sound of them rubbing against each other seemed particularly loud in the night.

There were only two even breathing sounds in the cave. Although they had met several times before, they only had an impression of each other. The inequality in status caused some obstacles in getting along with each other.

Lin Yan was just a little palace maid, not very old and not very experienced. She just heard the rumors in the palace about how cruel the Ninth Thousand Years Old was.

And now, the brutal Ninth Thousand Year Old was sitting opposite her. How could she remain calm?

She would raise her eyes from time to time, looking at the other person, secretly sizing him up. But this little action was too obvious, and it was hard for people not to notice it.

Now that he was injured and too weak, he sat there like a porcelain doll. If he were to put on clean clothes, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was very charming.

His appearance was too good and too feminine, so even if he didn't have that much edge, he didn't look easy to get along with. But because he was poisoned, his face was pale, and this sick feeling invisibly lowered his thorns.

He looked like he was in great need of help, and people forgot about the previous rumors for a moment.

"Have you seen enough?"

After a while, his slightly impatient voice sounded.

If it weren't for the fact that the other person saved his life, given his temper, he would have dug out those eyes long ago.

Lin Yan scratched the back of her head sheepishly and smiled awkwardly: "Lord Ye, it seems to be different from the rumors." This explains why she had been peeking.

She couldn't just sit there and do nothing. The opportunity was right in front of her, and if she really put herself in the position of a kind-hearted person, it would be ridiculous.

Ye Xiao also knew how the palace spread the news about him, so he was not surprised to hear this. Instead, he looked at her with a somewhat vicious look, his eyes seemed to be able to capture people's souls, "If you are afraid, why did you save me? Aren't you afraid that I will repay you with hatred after I wake up?"

There was a hint of amusement and aggression in his eyes. He looked very serious and didn't seem like he was lying.

Lin Yan bit her lower lip and glanced at him anxiously, then quickly lowered her head and looked at the ground. "I... I, I didn't think that much..."

"I have no one to rely on in this palace. They all bully me, but I am not a fool. If I can save Lord Ye, I will have a backer. If I can't save him, I won't lose anything."

The more she spoke, the paler her face became. It seemed that after she spoke out her inner thoughts, she felt particularly despicable. This kind of scheming would be exposed in front of a truly smart person. So this also explained why she was so scared, but still chose to save people.

Ye Xiao sneered in his heart, but on the surface he was less wary of this little palace maid. No one can be perfect, there is no such thing as a perfect great saint, so it is normal to have some ulterior motives.

If a person stays with you without any purpose, that is truly terrifying, because the fact that the other person has no purpose means that you cannot afford what the other person wants.

This is the best. He can repay favors or not. He is not a good person anyway, so kindness can be discarded.

Now that Lin Yan has spoken her inner thoughts openly, he is happy to make a deal with her. It's just to be a backer, which is not a big deal.

But, "Everyone in the palace is afraid of me, and no one dares to go with me. You are so eager to join my side, aren't you afraid that those people... will regard you as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh?"

His smile was a bit nasty, as if he was enjoying the other person's frightened expression. Just like a cat catching a mouse, before catching the mouse, the cat usually teases it for a while, this is its nature.

Lin Yan was frightened by his words, but soon she took a deep breath and calmed down.

"I know that I don't have to rely on you to survive in this palace, but you were lying in front of me at that time, and I couldn't just stand there and watch you die. It was a bargain for me, a favor in exchange for a supporter, it was a good deal. What's more..."

She changed the subject, her eyes showing a bit of caution, "Lord Ye is second only to the emperor, and has real power in his hands, and can punish many people. If I accidentally offend a noble in the future, I think Lord Ye will be more capable than anyone else."

Her original intention was to find a backer, but God sent the opportunity to her. In this case, why should she resist?
Yes, curing illnesses and saving lives is just a trick, the real purpose is for his power. Now that she has confessed her thoughts, there is no need to pretend to be a little white rabbit.

Within the palace walls, the lives of slaves depended on the master's words. However, there were checks and balances among the various forces, so if one wanted to survive, he had to surrender to one of them.

Xianyang Palace is not a good place. Although Concubine Shu's temper has improved recently, the people serving her are in danger of death at any time. If she is afraid of him, there may be hope for survival.

Why not find a way to make a living for yourself?

Ye Xiao raised his eyes, and the other person's eyes were particularly eye-catching, they were too bright. There were not so many calculations, although there were some small thoughts of his own, but they were harmless.

In this deep palace full of greed, many people either have dull eyes or are blinded by many things, making their eyes look very turbid. But she is the only one who is like a lotus flower blooming in the mud.

Of course there is some exaggeration in it, but he has met so many different kinds of people, and she is indeed quite special.

It's just that face, it's too ordinary.

This also led to him holding back the question he wanted to ask.

Or you can try to climb the dragon bed? Isn't this backer bigger than him?
