Get pregnant quickly: Jiaojiao relies on giving birth and is favored by the boss

Chapter 395: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (40)
After peeling off the layers of lotus leaves, the aroma of the chicken is fragrant, accompanied by rising heat. The chicken is golden in color. Although it is roasted, it is wrapped tightly, so the surface of the chicken looks oily.

It was quite hot when it was just peeled, so Lin Yan waited until the temperature dropped a little before tearing off a chicken leg and handing it to Ye Xiao.

"Master Ye, try it!"

She smiled, as if she was sharing something good with a friend. This way of getting along was too close, and it was a little uncomfortable for people to get used to.

Ye Xiao always liked to walk alone. Over the years, few people showed closeness to him, let alone offered him things. Most people avoided him because of the rumors.

But someone, for the sake of profit, forcibly boarded his ship and regarded him as a backer. Should we say that this person is brave or that he is not very smart?

A myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind, but they only lasted a moment, or a blink of an eye, before he took the chicken leg.

He didn't have any mysophobia, so even though someone else handed it to him, he didn't feel awkward. He just put it to his mouth and took a bite.

To be honest, the taste is very good, better than the last time I roasted it in the cave. It may be because the last time the roasted chicken was really without any seasoning, and the meat was a bit dry, so it was not very delicious.

The roasted chicken now has a soft and glutinous skin and tender meat inside. In addition, it has been marinated for a long time, so in addition to the freshness of the chicken, there are other flavors.

It’s not as exquisite as the imperial kitchen, but it has its own flavor.

Lin Yan looked at him nervously and asked cautiously, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Ye Xiao saw her blinking her big deer-like eyes at him, and he felt inexplicably happy. He felt that all the tiredness of the day seemed to have been blown away.

He nodded slightly and confirmed, "It tastes good."

He wasn't a picky eater, so he could eat anything that didn't taste too bad. Besides, the chicken tasted really good, and he wasn't lying.

Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. Seeing that you didn't show any expression while eating, I thought you failed. If you failed, wouldn't it be a waste of a pheasant?" As she spoke, she pulled off another chicken leg and started to chew it.

The picture is very harmonious, just like old friends who have known each other for a long time. Although their attitudes are not intimate, they are both willing to get close to each other.

There was no tit-for-tat, nor any inexplicable schemes, they just got along like ordinary people.

Ye Xiao looked a little dazed. When was the last time he was so relaxed? He couldn't remember clearly, but it seemed to be more than ten years ago.

In the palace, he was always on edge, fearing that he would fall into someone else's trap one day. So he had to work hard to climb up, and one day, he would trample everyone under his feet.

Fortunately, he succeeded, but the reputation was not very good.

But who cares about this?

"Master Ye! Master Ye, what are you thinking about?" Lin Yan called him a few times, but he didn't come back to his senses. He just stared blankly at the distant sky.

The sun had already set, but the sky was not too dark, and there was still some residual light. In addition, a bonfire was lit in the camp, which was enough to illuminate this small world.

But she was a little confused. Just now, Beibei had a breakdown, so why was the target of the mission also lost in thought? He looked very upset. Could it be that the feng shui here was not good?

However, Ye Xiao had a stronger mental quality after all, so he was only confused for a while before he came to his senses.

"It's a bit of a waste of my talent to work in the Xianyang Palace." He said this lightly.

"My fate has been arranged in the Xianyang Palace, and there is nothing I can do about it. But now, with the help of Lord Ye, I think I am not without a choice." Lin Yan didn't want to tell him anything empty.

When talking to a smart person who is decisive and ruthless, it is best not to beat around the bush. Being straightforward is the right approach.

At least for Ye Xiao, this is the simplest way.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile, "Why are you sure that I will help you? Maybe after you save me, I will repay you with hatred and kill you? Aren't you afraid? Huh?"

The ending of his voice was drawn out, but it didn't sound seductive, but rather dangerous. His expression didn't seem fake, but serious, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of a solution.

What could Lin Yan say? If she was killed, she could only consider herself unlucky and start over again.

But she certainly couldn't say that, so she said: "It is said that Lord Ye is decisive in killing people, treats human life as nothing, and is cruel and merciless. But these are just rumors. I tend to believe that seeing is believing, and hearing is not."

"So I'm betting on whether Lord Ye will help me. If I win, then everyone will be happy. But if I lose, I have nothing to be afraid of, because I have nothing to lose anyway."

She has few friends, and her family gave up on her and promised not to have any relationship with her in the future.

Living in this world without any worries, what does it matter if I die?

Lin Yan tilted her head and threw the chicken leg bone in her hand into the rekindled fire. "Besides, I won the bet, didn't I? And I won't let myself lose, because you need me."

Although she couldn't change his fate, she could make his life less painful in the past ten years.

Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt that the girl in front of him refreshed his cognition again and again.

Then he laughed at himself and felt that he was really a little stupid. He also came from the bottom, so what didn't he understand about human nature?

She has medical skills, understands medical principles, and has a chance of curing his illness, which is enough. Are other things important?

"By the way, how do you feel about the prescription I left for you? Do you feel much refreshed?" Perhaps it was because their time together had been so peaceful, so Lin Yan couldn't help but muster up her courage.

Ye Xiao threw the chicken bones in his hand into the fire and said calmly, "Not bad."

The imperial physician had looked at the prescription and pointed out the toxicity of several of the herbs, but he also saw the antidote. Because the dosage was not large, there would be no effect even if he took it.

I also gave it to several rabbits. After a day, the rabbits showed no reaction.

Suspicion is a common problem among those in power. But he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. Isn't it better to be more cautious?
"Where do you want to go if you leave Xianyang Palace?" he asked.
