The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life

Chapter 308 Agree to Marriage
Xiao Jin looked in the direction of Xie Lan's finger, then turned back to look at her, pursed his lips, and looked uneasy, "Do you hate me so much?"

Xie Lan knew that he had misunderstood, so he shook his head and urged, "No, you stand over there first."

Although Xiao Jin didn't know what she meant by this, he saw that she really had no disgust towards him. Thinking of the imperial physician's instructions, he pursed his lips and finally walked towards the corner she pointed to.

But before he could stand still, he heard the sound of Xie Lan vomiting from behind him.

Xiao Jin's heart tightened and he turned around quickly, only to see that Xie Lan's face, which had just regained some color, had turned as pale as paper again. He immediately hurried back to her side.

"Why are you vomiting again? I'll go ask Doctor Xu to come over." Xiao Jin just turned around when Xie Lan grabbed his sleeve.

He subconsciously turned around and found that Xie Lan had stopped vomiting.

Xiao Jin was already sharp-minded, and the scene in the private room before instantly emerged in his mind. He also thought of Xie Lan's strange behavior of insisting on making him stand in the corner, and an idea flashed in his mind.

"If I get close to you, will you not vomit?"

Xie Lan suppressed the nausea that was rolling in his stomach and glared at him with a bit of anger in his eyes, "Yes, I will vomit if you leave me alone, but I will be fine if you get close. Tell me the truth, did you give me some kind of drug?"

Xiao Jin sighed helplessly, sat down in front of her, raised his hand to tuck the messy hair on her forehead behind her head. He said softly, "Silly girl, don't you understand my thoughts? I am looking forward to you nodding and agreeing to marry me day and night, so how could I possibly give you any drugs?

What's more, you are pregnant with my flesh and blood, if you are not feeling well, I am more worried than you are."

Xie Lan saw the pain and worry in his eyes and knew that he was telling the truth.

But her vomiting was really weird. In my two lives, I had never heard of such a strange thing.

Xiao Jin had never encountered such a thing before. He frowned and thought for a while, "Could it be because you are pregnant with my flesh and blood, and you also have the spiritual energy I gave you. So, if I get close to you, everything will be fine?"

Xie Lan was not sure about this, but the scene of discovering that the golden light in his body had run to the uterus suddenly emerged in his mind.

Maybe, it is true?
Xiao Jin gently held her hand and said, "I'll give you some more spiritual energy. Let's give it a try."

"But you don't have much spiritual energy left. If you give it to me, the black energy in your body won't be suppressed anymore. I can ask Tiechui to go to the jade shop and buy a few stones to absorb some spiritual energy and see if it works."

Xiao Jin didn't want her to worry about him while she was pregnant, so he comforted her softly, "Don't worry, a few days ago, Doctor Xu improved the prescription and made a new medicine for me, and the effect is quite good. We can make two preparations. I will first pass on some spiritual energy to you, and then let Yang Feng send someone to find jade.

You only have one maidservant by your side, so let Tiechui stay to take care of you."

Xie Lan had no better idea. He couldn't ask him to stay with him day and night. He could only nod and say, "Okay. Thank you for your hard work."

"There's no need to be so polite between you and me." Xiao Jin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile. He reached out and held her wrist, directly passed some spiritual energy to her, and then walked to the corner again.

Xie Lan looked at him with joy, "It really works. I didn't vomit anymore."

Xiao Jin also breathed a sigh of relief, "You haven't eaten much today, have you? I'll have someone prepare some meals for you. What do you want to eat?" Xie Lan was starving after vomiting several times, so he didn't bother to be polite with him, "Let's get some easy-to-digest porridge and side dishes."

"Okay." Xiao Jin responded, turned around and walked out quickly to give a few instructions, then hurried back.

He made Xie Lan a cup of honey water, and after she finished drinking it, he said solemnly, "I plan to go to the palace tomorrow and ask the emperor for an imperial decree to grant us marriage. Then I will send someone to Sanqing Mountain to pick up the master to preside over our wedding. Do you have any ideas or requirements for marriage?"

Xie Lan didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes and glanced in the direction of "Xiao Xiao Jin" before asking, "Have you recovered?"

Xiao Jin looked a little unnatural. Although he didn't want to deceive her, he thought that if he told her the truth, she might use it as an excuse to refuse the marriage.

After much hesitation, he chose to lie: "Doctor Xu said that the root of the injury has been dealt with and the only way is to take medicine and slowly recuperate. If you are lucky, you may recover. If you are unlucky, it may affect your offspring."

Xie Lan had a headache. She didn't have much spiritual energy to begin with, and all the spiritual energy Xiao Jin gave her was gathered in her uterus to nurture the fetus. If she didn't want this child and aborted it, she would die without spiritual energy.

If she didn't marry Xiao Jin, and if the injury really couldn't be cured, wouldn't he have no descendants in the future?
Xie Lan frowned, "My status is far inferior to yours. Will the Emperor and the Duke of Zhenguo agree to let you marry me?"

Xiao Jin's expression was indifferent, but his tone was sonorous and powerful, "I don't need anyone else's consent for my marriage. My mother left a will before she died. I can decide my marriage myself."

He paused slightly, his eyes full of guilt, "No one can stop me from marrying you, but we have to get married as soon as possible, and I'm afraid I'll let you down.

However, when matching the horoscopes, I will have the Imperial Astronomical Observatory inform the Emperor that my fate is special, and only your fate can protect me from a safe and smooth life in the second half of my life. If I marry another woman, my life will be in danger."

Xiao Jin originally did not intend to ask the emperor to grant the marriage, but now that Xie Lan is pregnant, they must get married as soon as possible. Only if the emperor grants the marriage can they stop the gossip of outsiders and prevent others from saying irresponsible things about Xie Lan on the grounds that the marriage was hasty.

Xie Lan also knew that he was doing it for her own good, but even though Xiao Jin had given her a lot of spiritual energy recently, it was just a drop in the bucket.

"Although I can absorb spiritual energy from jade, it is hard to find top-quality jade containing spiritual energy. Can I ask how you get the spiritual energy in your body?
You also know my situation. If I don’t have enough spiritual energy, I’m not sure if I can live to give birth to a child successfully.”

"There's nothing I can't tell you. Five years ago, I was on a business trip outside the capital and was chased by an assassin. I fell off a cliff into a cold pond and was bitten by a dragon snake. During the fight, I discovered that the blood of the dragon snake can heal wounds and that the snake's gallbladder contains a lot of spiritual energy, so I killed it."

Xie Lan was surprised, "Are there other dragons and snakes in the cold pond?"

"Yes, but you are pregnant now, so you can't go into the cold pond." In order to dispel her idea, Xiao Jin emphasized, "Although the dragon snake gall contains spiritual energy, if you eat it, you will also be contaminated with the black energy of the dragon snake. With your body, you can't bear it.

But you don't have to worry about this. When I go to the palace to ask for the imperial decree to grant the marriage, I will go to the cold pond and kill the other dragon snake. I will absorb the spiritual energy and pass it on to you."

Although Xiao Jin said it lightly, Xie Lan knew that since the dragon snake had spiritual energy, it would be difficult to kill it. But for her safety, he was willing to risk his life.

It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.

Xie Lan nodded, "Okay, I promise to marry you."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xie Lan suddenly remembered something, "Two days ago, my father planned to marry me to the third prince."
