Only at this moment did Nangong Lin remember what Yan Xiaoxi had said. The poison in his body was only temporarily suppressed. He still needed to take the antidote to heal.
He immediately understood why Yan Xiaoxi ran out in anger.
After drinking the medicine and putting down the things in his hands, Nangong Lin walked out of his room and saw the immobilized guard standing stiffly on the spot.
There was no need to think to know that it must have been Yan Xiaoxi's masterpiece.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for not stopping the wangfei." Seeing Yan Xiaoxi angrily running out of the room in such a short time, the guards immediately knew what had happened to her.
He would definitely be punished by the prince, so he had long been prepared for this.
"There won't be a next time." With that, Nangong Lin quickly walked back to his room.
The guards looked at Nangong Lin's back as he left in disbelief. It was simply too inconceivable that the king would let him go. Perhaps in the future, the wangfei would be their savior.
Inside an ancient room, Yan Xiaoxi was holding a brush and furiously painting Nangong Lin's appearance on a piece of paper. She had purposely painted him ugly, with a slightly larger nose and smaller eyes.
When Nangong Lin walked in, he saw that Yan Xiaoxi's beautiful face had turned into the shape of a kitten's, and her face was covered with brushstrokes.
"Woman, angry?" These words were obviously a question that he knew the answer to.
Yan Xiaoxi ignored him and continued painting.
"This King did not do it on purpose." Nangong Lin passed the pastries on the table to Yan Xiaoxi, but she remained indifferent.
Seeing this, Nangong Lin knew that this time around, Yan Xiaoxi was truly angry.
He was still waiting for her to concoct a poison pill for him. Now that he angered her, it was time for him to start something new.
"Woman, didn't This King owe you 40 roasted chicken? I'll return it to you now." This was the only thought that came to Nangong Lin's mind that could pacify Yan Xiaoxi.
But this time, Yan Xiaoxi did not react at all.
Yan Xiaoxi also understood that Nangong Lin was still counting on her to concoct the pills for him. Since Nangong Lin had a request for her, he definitely wouldn't be able to cancel it with more than a dozen roasted chickens every time.
In this way, she would suffer a great loss.
"I want to add code." Yan Xiaoxi stated her condition.
Nangong Lin smiled. He knew that this woman had no resistance against delicious food.
Thus, he agreed, "Ok."
However, how could he know that this time Yan Xiaoxi was intentionally making things difficult for him? He opened his mouth wide and said, "I want four hundred roasted chickens."
What? Four hundred words of roast chicken? Even if he was in the palace, he wouldn't be able to get four hundred words of roasted chicken in such a short time!
"I'm giving in because you're sincere, but I want four hundred per step. Otherwise, that would be four thousand." Even Yan Xiaoxi herself couldn't imagine what it would be like to have four hundred words of roasted chicken in front of her.
Hmph, who asked him to confiscate his roasted chicken? Now, it's time for retribution.
That was why his Master had always said that as a person, one should be pious. Doing things was always better than doing things normally. If one did good things every day, they would naturally receive a good reward.
Nangong Lin was completely speechless. How could he not see through this naked revenge?
This woman was really narrow-minded. When it came to food, her methods were different.
"If I can't do it, as long as little Lin Lin promises me, no matter what happens, I will absolutely not confiscate my meat in the future." This was what Yan Xiaoxi had planned long ago.
"Four hundred words of roast chicken. This King will give it to you." To think that he, a dignified Prince of the Southern Water Kingdom, could not even make a request like roasting a chicken with four hundred words. If word of this got out, he would no longer have any face.
"Alright, it's fine if you have roasted chicken." Yan Xiaoxi pursed her lips. Although she did not achieve her goal, having four hundred roasted chicken was still pretty good.
Four hundred was enough for her to eat for a long time.
And so, such a scene appeared in the Southern Water Country.
In the city, the people of the Prince Lin's manor were scattered all over the place. They shuttled back and forth between the inns to buy roasted chicken and the live chicken in the hands of the hawkers in the market.
On this day, the chicken hawkers all made a ton of money and took the opportunity to ask for a price, selling it at a price several times higher than usual.
In Prince Lin's mansion, the kitchen had stopped cooking and was wholeheartedly focused on cooking roasted chickens.
Very quickly, the four hundred roasted chickens that Yan Xiaoxi wanted were placed in front of her, filling up a few rooms.
That day, Yan Xiaoxi ate until her belly was bloated, making her completely allergic to roasted chicken. Later on, she even wanted to vomit when she heard the name 'roasted chicken'. From then on, the roasted chicken was removed from her recipe.
Due to the side effects, Yan Xiaoxi, who loved to eat delicacies, for the first time ever lost her appetite. She ate several mouthfuls of porridge three times a day.
However, this phenomenon only lasted for three days.
It was a sunny day with no clouds in sight.
Xiao Cui hurriedly ran into the room and snatched the chopsticks from Yan Xiaoxi's hands. She said nervously, "Esteemed wangfei, something bad has happened. You can still eat right now."
"Why can't I eat anymore? I haven't touched meat in three days." Yan Xiaoxi mumbled indistinctly with food in her mouth.
Xiao Cui looked at Yan Xiaoxi helplessly, then said, "Princess, Liu Zhixue is here."
"Who is Liu Zhixue?" Yan Xiaoxi looked at Xiao Cui in confusion.
"Prince's childhood sweetheart." Xiao Cui did not have the intention to hear about this from the Wang Mansion's servants.
Liu Zhixue and Nangong Lin had known each other since childhood. Not only were they talented, they even liked each other. Originally, they had already set a marriage for a long time, but later, when they reached the age of marriage, Nangong Lin actually destroyed the marriage for no reason.
Otherwise, she would definitely be the one sitting in Princess Lin's seat right now.
Hearing Xiao Cui's words, Yan Xiaoxi instantly felt that something was wrong.
Presumably, in this world, only she knew that Nangong Lin had cancelled the marriage because of the strange poison in his body.
Her master had once told her that a man's first love was the most unforgettable. Like her father, he only married his mother and had always been admired by the world.
If Liu Zhixue took over her position as an imperial concubine, wouldn't she have no food to eat in the future?
No, definitely not like this!
Yan Xiaoxi immediately got up from her stool and dashed towards the living room.
When she arrived, what she saw was a scene like this.
In the large main hall, a beautiful woman who was like a fairy sat on a chair. She had an endless spring glow on her chest as she raised her head and looked at Nangong Lin with deep love.
Nangong Lin was currently standing in front of her with his back bent. He carefully blew at her eyes with eyes that were as gentle as water. This was a side that Yan Xiaoxi had never seen before.
"seductress." Yan Xiaoxi muttered softly.
He didn't know why he felt sad, but it felt like a hundred roasted chickens had been robbed.
She walked in indignantly, not caring about the intimate actions of the two of them as she called out to them as she usually did: "Little Linlin."
After hearing the familiar voice, Nangong Lin finally stopped moving. He stood up, looked at Yan Xiaoxi, and asked, "Why are you here?"
