Prince Pampers the Escaping Consort

The sky gradually brightened. The pale blue sky was inlaid with several fragmentary stars. The earth was hazy, as if it was covered in a silver grey muslin.

Faintly, Nangong Lin turned around and discovered that Yan Xiaoxi had actually disappeared from his bed.

Normally, Yan Xiaoxi would only wake up to eat when she was in the sun. The people from the manor were already used to her sleepiness.

Nangong Lin suddenly opened his eyes and picked up the clothes beside the bed to put on his clothes.

"Someone, come." Nangong Lin shouted.

"Your Highness, what orders do you have?" The one who entered was Xiao Cui, she was Yan Xiaoxi's maid and was responsible for taking care of her.

"Where's the wangfei?"

"The princess went to the mountain early in the morning to ask for some rare herbs." Xiao Cui was also very curious about the fact that Princess Hua-Yang had woken up early today. She initially wanted to go with her to gather the herbs, but since the two of them were taking care of each other, she could help to protect Princess Hua-Yang.

However, the wangfei said that she would do it by herself and told her not to give him any trouble.

In truth, Xiao Cui knew that the princess felt sorry for her and did not want her to work so hard. It was relatively easy for the princess to climb the mountain for medicinal herbs, as a weak girl like her would find it more difficult to climb up the mountain.

Thus, she waited at the door to her room and told him where she was, as instructed by the imperial concubine.

"This King knows." Nangong Lin didn't ask any further, because he knew that Yan Xiaoxi was making him a pill to suppress the poison.

This woman had woken up so early for him.

Nangong Lin's heart warmed as he couldn't help but laugh.

This was the first time Xiao Cui had seen Nangong Lin's smile. She was stunned on the spot and could not help but say, "My prince, your smile is really beautiful."

After hearing those words, Nangong Lin immediately put on his usual ice-cold face. It was as if the enchanting and boundless charm he emitted just now was just an illusion.

Xiao Cui rubbed her eyes, staring at the still cold Nangong Lin in astonishment, she thought in her heart, could it be that she was seeing things?

"You may leave." Nangong Lin instructed.

"Yes." Xiao Cui bowed and slowly withdrew. As she left, she did not forget to size up Nangong Lin's face.

As Nangong Lin sat by the bedside, an image appeared in his mind. The Yan Xiaoxi from her memories had once said that his smile was very funny. Only when facing her would he have that kind of undisguised, pure, and genuine smile.

He felt that being able to marry Yan Xiaoxi was a blessing in disguise.

After the meal, Nangong Lin went to his study to settle some matters. As he read the letter, his mind was restless. Nangong Lin knew that he was worried about Yan Xiaoxi and couldn't do anything without worry.

After putting down the book in his hand, Nangong Lin walked out. When he arrived at the entrance of the manor, he coincidentally saw the figure that he had been yearning for day and night.

In the distance, Yan Xiaoxi was carrying a bamboo basket as she happily returned to her manor.

"Little Linlin." Yan Xiaoxi also saw Nangong Lin, who was greeting her at the entrance of the Royal Mansion.

"Woman." Nangong Lin walked out and took the initiative to pick up the bamboo basket on Yan Xiaoxi's back. There were a few medicinal herbs inside, but he did not know what they were called.

"I've already prepared all the medicine for the pill." As she said this, Yan Xiaoxi glanced at the herbs in the bamboo basket. This basket was the result of her trip to the mountain early in the morning.

"You must be hungry. Go and have a meal." Even if Yan Xiaoxi hadn't said it, Nangong Lin would have guessed that she had gone to the medicinal herbs for his sake.

Nangong Lin handed the bamboo basket to his servant while he brought Yan Xiaoxi to the side hall. When the two of them entered, they discovered that the table was already filled with food.

"Wow, little Linlin, you're really great." Yan Xiaoxi cried out in joy. She immediately ran to the table, picked up the food, and began to eat.

The food on the table was something that she liked, and it was even warm. Could Nangong Lin have a prophetic ability and knew that she would be back at this time?

"Creak."

The door was pushed open, and Xiao Cui walked in unhurriedly.

"Your Highness, do you want to exchange the food on the table?" Xiao Cui did not notice Yan Xiaoxi beside Nangong Lin.

"No, I want to eat it." Yan Xiaoxi answered first.

"Princess, you're back." Xiao Cui looked at Yan Xiaoxi in shock, her eyes filled with envy.

"Yeah." Yan Xiaoxi nodded, feeling that something was wrong with the way Xiao Cui was looking at her.

"Then this servant will take her leave." Saying that, Xiao Cui tactfully left.

Yan Xiaoxi continued to eat, feeling that something was wrong.

She grabbed a piece of pastry and placed it next to Nangong Lin's mouth, saying, "Little Linlin also wants to eat."

He didn't know if this was Yan Xiaoxi's intention. Every time she passed him food, it was the food that he hated the most, but as long as Yan Xiaoxi fed him food, even if it was poison, he would not hesitate to eat it.

"Little Lin Lin, do you know that I will be back now?" Yan Xiaoxi asked curiously.

"I don't know."

"Then why did you prepare the food so early? It's still warm. It seems to know that I'm back now."

"From the moment you left, This King prepared this table of food and changed it every two hours." Nangong Lin's words were very casual.

What?

She had been out for several hours. In other words, she had already changed the dishes in front of her several times.

What a waste, little Linlin, to have money and nowhere to spend it.

"Little Lin Lin, I am not touched by your actions, do you know that these grains were grown by commoners? No matter what, we can't waste it. " Yan Xiaoxi pouted her red lips as she grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Nangong Lin didn't expect Yan Xiaoxi to have such a reaction. He didn't ask Yan Xiaoxi for tears and instead bitterly wept. At the very least, he would praise her and praise her a few times. He did this all for her.

And she? The moment he opened his mouth, it was denouncing him.

As expected of the woman that he, Nangong Lin, liked. The way she viewed things was different from the others. It made people unable to help themselves from having a whole new level of respect for her.

"I won't." Nangong Lin felt that Yan Xiaoxi's words made sense. He knew that Yan Xiaoxi would definitely be hungry when she returned. He originally wanted to have something to eat the moment he entered the residence, so he used this method.

"Little Linlin is the most obedient." Yan Xiaoxi patted Nangong Lin's head. It was as if she was teaching a erring child a lesson, and her eyes were also filled with maternal love.

Nangong Lin felt that Yan Xiaoxi would definitely become a great mother in the future.

Their two children were definitely very smart, combining their strengths together.

"Little Lin Lin Lin, the pills I make can only suppress the poison for a short period of time, once this batch of pills finishes eating and the poison gets used to it, the pills will no longer be effective. We need to gather the five colored beads as soon as possible." Once Yan Xiaoxi became serious, her expression would become very serious.

In her heart, there was already nothing more important than Nangong Lin's life. She knew medical skills and even understood that the special part of the strange poison in Nangong Lin's body. Once it exploded, he would be killed at any moment.

Yan Xiaoxi could not imagine what she would do if she lost Nangong Lin.

"Xi Er, I'll be fine." Nangong Lin embraced Yan Xiaoxi as he saw the worry in her eyes.

He would definitely find five colorful pearls to crack the mechanism door and obtain a Hundred Spirit Pill to dispel the poison in his body.
