Prince Pampers the Escaping Consort

As she thought of this, Yan Xiaoxi's face lit up. She patted the dust off her body, stood up, and walked over to Nangong Lin's side.

"Forty roasted chickens." She extended four fingers in front of Nangong Lin and looked at him with a smile.

The intelligent Nangong Lin immediately understood what Yan Xiaoxi meant and nodded in agreement, "Speak, what do you want in exchange?"

Yan Xiaoxi stretched out her palm and floated in the air as she gave Nangong Lin a meaningful look.

"Little Linlin has to promise me first." Yan Xiaoxi definitely wouldn't do something where he had suffered a loss. If he listened to her words, what would he do if he went back on his word?

When it came to matters of delicacies, Yan Xiaoxi would never back down.

"Pa!" A clapping sound could be heard from inside the cave.

With her goal achieved, Yan Xiaoxi smiled excitedly, pointed her slender finger at the door, and said, "That place is so strange."

That's right, the place that Yan Xiaoxi was pointing to was the five round holes on the door.

After hearing this, Nangong Lin looked at Yan Xiaoxi in astonishment. He immediately felt that he had been cheated.

This useless sentence was exchanged for forty roasted chickens. Presumably, only this woman could do such a thing.

"Woman, you are challenging This King's patience." Nangong Lin's face darkened and his voice turned ice-cold.

Yan Xiaoxi was calm and composed. She was no longer afraid of Nangong Lin who was cold and indifferent like this. After getting along with him for so long, she knew what kind of expression he would have when he got angry, and what kind of actions he would take.

Thus, it was sufficient to judge that he was only scaring himself.

"Look." Yan Xiaoxi didn't want to keep them in suspense. She took off the necklace from her neck and placed the round and plump pearl on the hole.

Surprisingly, the gap between the pearl and the round hole completely matched.

"Little Lin Lin, don't you think that these pits can fit a round stone inside?" Yan Xiaoxi had unintentionally discovered this point and felt that the marks on top of the bead was sufficient to place down a bead. That was why she took the pearl on her neck and tested it.

When he saw this scene, Nangong Lin seemed to have been enlightened. His deep gaze moved to the left and right of the five round pits.

In the end, he gave a conclusion, "Rainbow Pearls."

The five strange pits on the door were the same size as the multicolored beads, and the numbers were the same.

If Nangong Lin's prediction was correct, the Rainbow Pearl must be the key to opening this door.

"What is a multicolored pearl?" Yan Xiaoxi curiously asked again.

The Rainbow Pearls each had five different colored pearls: gold, earth, water, fire, and earth. Four of them were in four different countries, while the remaining one was missing.

In the past, the Rainbow Pearls were given to the Immortal Spirit Island as a treasure, but it was left to the people and finally fell to the Four Great Empires. Because it was related to the Immortal Spirit Island, the Four Great Empires simultaneously gave the Rainbow Pearls as a national treasure, passing down the legacy.

This time around, Nangong Lin was worried again. Wanting to obtain the five colored pearls was most definitely not a simple matter.

However, for the sake of the Hundred Spirit Pill, regardless of whether it was going up the mountain or down the sea of flames, he would gather all of the Rainbow Pearls and open the door.

"Woman, let's go."

"Where to?" Yan Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Lin with a stiff expression. She had no idea what had happened.

"Return to the manor." The Gold-coloured Pearls were in the Southern Water Kingdom, and of the five pearls, this Nangong Lin was the easiest to obtain.

"But you still haven't told me what a five colored bead is." Once Yan Xiaoxi's curiosity was aroused, she would not give up until she got her answer.

"This King will tell you on the way." Just like this, Nangong Lin brought Yan Xiaoxi and they left the mountain through another exit.

The first thing that Yan Xiaoxi did when she returned to the manor was to catch the medicine. No matter how many roasted chickens there were, they wouldn't be able to eat it.

She personally went to the kitchen to fry the medicine. After ingesting it, she poured the rest into a bowl and prepared to give it to Nangong Lin.

"His Royal Highness ordered that no one was to enter." When they arrived at the study, Yan Xiaoxi was stopped by a guard at the door.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to deliver medicine for Little Linlin." Yan Xiaoxi ignored the objections of the guards and barged in.

"I beg of you to cooperate with me, wangfei, and don't make things difficult for this servant." The guards were also doing their duty, and they didn't intentionally prevent Yan Xiaoxi from entering.

Thinking about it, there was a time when the prince was in the study, ordering no one to enter, but the guard on duty saw that it was Miss Liu Zhixue. He let her enter, but was then dealt with by the prince through family rules.

After this incident, everyone knew that in front of the prince, there were no exceptions. As long as he gave an order, no one would be able to escape.

"You should cooperate with me. Whether or not you take the medicine, the poison in little Linlin's body will erupt." Yan Xiaoxi calculated the time, and the medicinal properties of the pill would be over very soon. Nangong Lin still had some poison in his body, once it entered his internal organs along with his blood, he would be done for.

When the guard saw that Yan Xiaoxi was nervous, he felt troubled as well.

"But wangfei, I dare not disobey the prince's orders." In the end, the guards still chose to obey Nangong Lin's orders.

"This is a child that cannot be taught." Yan Xiaoxi was about to go crazy from anger. She held the bowl in one hand and reached for the bag at her waist with the other. She quickly stuffed a pill into the guard's mouth.

Immediately, the guard stood still like a statue at the door.

"Princess, you can't go in there." Although his body could not move, the guard still tried to persuade him otherwise.

However, by the time he finished speaking, Yan Xiaoxi's delicate figure was no longer in sight.

Nangong Lin was sitting before a table in his study. He looked majestic and meticulous as he read the incoming letters from the army. These past few days, he had not been in his residence and had many things he had not dealt with in time.

Suddenly, he stopped waving the brush and looked towards the door.

His ears twitched, and in a moment he heard light footsteps.

"Didn't This King say that no one is allowed to enter?" Nangong Lin did not even raise his head as he angrily rebuked.

Yan Xiaoxi was stunned as she picked up the antidote.

"Little Linlin." Yan Xiaoxi placed the bowl in her hand on the table and sat down on a stool in the middle of the table.

"Woman, you are really bold to ignore This King's orders." Nangong Lin raised his head and looked at Yan Xiaoxi, who was currently eating her pastries.

When Yan Xiaoxi heard Nangong Lin's ice-cold tone, she immediately felt wronged. She had hurriedly fried the medicine for him, but he had actually scolded her for no reason at all. This was too despicable.

She angrily glared at Nangong Lin as she put down the pastries and left.

At this moment, Yan Xiaoxi was extremely depressed. Even when she was eating delicious pastries, she found it hard to swallow.

"Hmph, I won't bother with you anymore." Yan Xiaoxi ran out in anger.

Nangong Lin was dumbstruck as he watched everything that was happening. Shouldn't he be the one to be angry? Why was the situation reversed?

He picked up the pen again and was about to reply, but he was no longer focused.

Suddenly, his line of sight stopped at the bowl of black medicine in front of the table, and he said with a flash of understanding, "The antidote."
