Chapter 21 Inquiry
Xie Lan understood a little.

He asked the guards to invite her over, saying fortune-telling was just an excuse, but the real purpose was to find out about the accidental intrusion.

Xie Lan didn't plan to get married, but she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

"Although I was startled by your accidental intrusion, fortunately nothing happened. You were poisoned and unconscious at the time, so I guess it was not your intention to intrude by mistake."

Xiao Jin saw that Xie Lan had a polite look on his face, without any sign of abnormality.

His brows furrowed slightly.

He climbed up to the second floor with the last bit of clarity he had, pushed open the window and fainted, having no idea there was someone in the room.

But... after falling into a coma, he seemed to have a dream.

As for what he dreamed about, perhaps because of the influence of the unknown internal force in his body, he could not remember it clearly when he woke up.

He just vaguely felt... that he seemed to have fallen into the water... and touched something soft.

There is no water in the guest rooms unless...

An absurd thought suddenly popped up in Xiao Jin's mind.

Did he fall into the bathtub?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, it was immediately extinguished by Xiao Jin.

When he woke up, his clothes were still the same and they were dry.

If he fell into the bathtub, his brocade robe would inevitably get wet.

Furthermore, if this was true, the girl shouldn’t have looked so calm when she saw him.

Xiao Jin frowned. It seemed that after returning to Beijing, he would have to ask Doctor Xu to increase the dosage of the medicine to suppress the unknown internal force.

Xie Lan was sitting on the side, noticing the inquiring look from the young master next to him, but pretended not to know.

She is not really fourteen years old. In her previous life, she had seen all kinds of scenes in the business world and had long since developed her concentration.

"I was poisoned, and you saved me, right? What reward do you want?"

Xie Lan's eyes lit up.

Although she didn't think about the reward when she saved the person.

But since the other party brought it up, she naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to refuse, nor would she deny that it was she who saved him.

There is no such thing as doing good deeds without leaving a name for her.

"Yes, it was indeed me who fed you the detoxification pill."

Although the detoxification pills did not completely cure the other person, they prevented the poison from spreading and protected his heart meridians, making it worthy of the life-saving grace.

But how much compensation is appropriate?

The detoxifying pills were made by the third senior sister, who used a lot of precious medicinal materials.

She would feel bad if the pay was less.

Xie Lan is still weighing the pros and cons.

Suddenly, a delicate female voice came from the stained glass window, with a familiar worldly flavor.

"Haha, I should repay you for saving my life with my own body."

"Sir, it's getting late. A night of love is worth a thousand gold. It's time to go to bed."

Xie Lan looked at the parrot on the windowsill, who was acting shyly, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw the young man opposite her looking at her meaningfully, as if he was about to speak.

Xie Lan said quickly, "Young Master, you are so handsome and graceful, it seems that this parrot... has taken a fancy to you?"

Xiao Jin's eyes were cold, and his slender fingers pinched the teacup, "I am not interested in animals. I think this bird has taken a fancy to the girl. It will be there wherever you are."

Xie Lan was slightly surprised. Could it be that this young man had guessed that the parrot was raised by her?
Fearing that someone might notice something, Xie Lan lowered his head and drank his tea as if to cover it up.

Just as the tea was in his mouth, the parrot suddenly changed his voice to a soft and charming one, "Sir, come on, the three of us will sleep together."

What do you mean three people sleeping together? Two people and one bird?
Xie Lan spat out a mouthful of tea with a "pu" sound.

"Kill the bird! Kill the bird!"

The overwhelming murderous aura surged, the parrot shuddered, and flew away whoosh.

Xie Lan was too busy to pay attention to him. She was choked by her tea and was coughing with a red face.

When Xiao Jin heard the cough, he subconsciously turned around to look.

Seeing that Xie Lan couldn't stop coughing, he raised his hand and patted her on the back.

After clapping twice, he realized what he was doing and his big hand suddenly stopped.

Just as he was about to take it back, his eyes swept across the little red face. His hand seemed to have its own consciousness and slapped it again.

Xie Lan coughed for half a cup of tea before he finally recovered.

After tidying up his face with a handkerchief, Xie Lan raised his eyes and said, "Thank you, sir."

She didn't expect that this rich young man would pat her on the back to help her feel better.

Xiao Jin had no expression on his face, and said calmly, "It's just a piece of cake."

Xie Lan was silent for a moment. He had originally wanted to extort a large sum of money, but now he couldn't ask for too much.

Forget it, she didn't want any reward for saving people, so just consider it as a good deed she did every day.

Xie Lan prepared to leave.

Xiao Jin suddenly asked, "The fairy knows medicine, I wonder which master did she learn from?"

By asking this, could it be that he wants her to help him detoxify?
She is good at fortune-telling and physiognomy, but as for medical skills, she only has a basic understanding of them.

"My lord, you have misunderstood me. I don't know any medical skills, I just happened to have some detoxification pills with me.

I believe that the young master has also seen that the poison in your body has not been eliminated, but only your heart meridian has been protected.

If you want to detoxify, you have to seek help from someone else."

Xie Lan did not tell the truth. Although she could not detoxify, the spiritual energy in her body could devour the black energy on the other person's body.

But this matter was too strange. She didn't know this young man at all, so she couldn't rashly reveal her secret.

“To be honest, the poison in my body is a bit tricky, I have consulted many doctors and imperial physicians, but they are all helpless.

In addition to doing business on this trip, I also plan to see if I can find a miracle doctor to detoxify me.

Please help me to tell whether this trip will be smooth."

Xiao Jin took out a silver ingot from his sleeve pocket and said, "This is the divination money."

The silver was not much, only five taels.

This young man's real purpose is not to tell fortunes. He may have noticed that the black energy in his body has been suppressed, so he is trying to find out indirectly.

Xie Lan did not expose it and pretended not to know.

"Sir, if you want to have your fortune told, I can give it a try. But my ability is limited, so I can't guarantee that it will be accurate."

"It's okay, just do your best."

"There is one more thing you need to know, if the divination is not accurate, the divination fee will not be returned to you."

Xie Lan looked like a fool and greedy for money, and thought the other party would hesitate to some extent.

Unexpectedly, the other person did not give up and took the initiative to write down his name and time of birth.

Xie Lan looked at the flourishes of calligraphy on the rice paper.

It turns out that this young man’s surname is Xiao.

Since the other party insisted on giving her money, there was no reason for Xie Lan to refuse.

Just take out the tortoise shell and copper coins and tell the fortune.

After half a cup of tea, Xie Lan stared at the hexagram and frowned.

After a long while, Xie Lan said, "Mr. Xiao, can I take a look at your palm?"

Xiao Jin's eyes swept across her furrowed brows, he said nothing, but stretched out his hand.

To prevent Xiao Jin from discovering that her spiritual energy would devour the black energy, Xie Lan did not touch his hand. She placed a feather fan on her fingers and carefully looked at the palm, then the back of the palm.

The more he looked, the tighter Xie Lan's brows furrowed.

Xie Lan didn't give up. She didn't care whether it was rude or not. She looked up and stared at Xiao Jin's handsome face.

Xiao Jin frowned subconsciously.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that the other party was reading his face.

The two of them sat facing each other, not far from each other. In order to see their faces more clearly, Xie Lan leaned forward again.

Xiao Jin couldn't turn his head, nor could he close his eyes, and his sight unknowingly fell on those petal-like red lips.

It looks very soft, I wonder if it tastes as sweet as the flowers?

This sudden thought made Xiao Jin's breathing suddenly stop and his knuckles holding the teacup tightened.

　So many people are following this book, but why aren't there many comments or votes? I don't know whether people like it or not, and I feel really nervous.
