Chapter 537 Progress
Xuanyuan Yao seems to be a person who is easy to fool, but when he is smart, he can make people helpless.
Although he knew that Xie Jin could not drink bitter medicine, Xie Jin's attitude of fooling him really made him angry, so Xuanyuan Yao decided to teach him a lesson, serving when he should serve, and being tough when he should be tough.
Xie Jin had a hard time, and it was useless to say good things.
That night, because Xie Jin was tossed around, Xuanyuan Yao was kind and considerate. He wiped his body and tried his best to meet all of Xie Jin's reasonable requirements. However, he ordered people to boil medicine early the next morning and forced Xie Jin to drink the medicine.
Poor Xie family Jiuye had never been tossed around like this since he was a child, but this time he was completely defeated by Xuanyuan Yao. He vomited after drinking it, but he could not resist the threat of Xuanyuan Yao's light eyes, so he could only take the soup obediently. He wanted to drink it all in one gulp, but he always rushed out to vomit before drinking half a bowl because of the bitter taste.
Every time he vomited until his face turned pale and he felt weak all over, his charming phoenix eyes looked at Xuanyuan Yao with sparkling water, which made the little leopard feel fluttering in his heart. He felt a little pity in his heart, and then he couldn't help but want to bully him.
Xuanyuan Yao thought to himself, so he was so bad?
However, this feeling of bullying people is really addictive, especially when the person being bullied is the Ninth Master of the Xie Family, who is known to be unruly and feared by everyone. It's simply unstoppable.
Xuanyuan Yao thought secretly and felt that he was really bad.
"What bad idea is Yaoyao coming up with?" Xie Jin finally relieved the bitterness in his mouth and handed the teacup back to the maid. When he turned around, he saw Xuanyuan Yao's lips raised suspiciously, and he said with a smile, "Do you like to see me in such a mess?"
Xuanyuan Yao's expression instantly straightened up, and he looked at him seriously: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is this prince so bad?"
Well, he is indeed so bad.
Xie Jin reached out to him: "Carry me in."
Xuanyuan raised an eyebrow: "Don't you have legs?"
"Yaoyao carried me yesterday."
"Yesterday was a special case."
Xie Jin leaned against him and said weakly: "But my legs are weak--"
"Dujuan, go and boil the medicine." Xuanyuan Yao said lightly, "Your son is too weak to take the medicine."
The bowl of medicine just now was all vomited, and a new bowl had to be boiled.
Dujuan stood in front of the door with her eyebrows lowered. She bowed when she heard the words and quickly turned around and retreated.
Xie Jin's body stiffened, and his voice softened unconsciously: "Yaoyao."
"Do you still want me to hold you?" Xuanyuan Yao's heart trembled, and he forced himself to be calm and glanced at him, "Are you still weak?"
Xie Jin wanted to say that he was still weak, but when he thought of the bitter soup that made his heart, liver and lungs want to vomit, and Xuanyuan Yao's obvious attitude of wanting to punish him at this time, his face suddenly fell, and he said pitifully: "I am really weak, and the medicine is really bitter. If I vomit several more times, my life will be over."
Xuanyuan Yao was silent for a moment, "Really can't drink the medicine?"
Xie Jin was happy to see that his attitude softened, and nodded quickly: "I really can't drink it."
Forget it.
Why should I punish him?
Xuanyuan Yao was soft-hearted, and he reached out to help him walk into the house: "If you can't drink, then don't drink it."
"What are you doing?" Chu Nanyi walked into Jinyuan with a medicine box, and when he looked up, he saw Xie Jin leaning on Xuanyuan Yao, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Did you just come back from a fight early in the morning?"
Xuanyuan Yao turned his head to look at him, and without saying a word, he helped Xie Jin to sit down in the inner room.
Chu Nanyi followed him in, and naturally he didn't miss the strong smell of medicine outside. He understood it in his heart, and after entering the inner room, he said lightly: "The Ninth Master of the Xie Family is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid of taking medicine. I don't know if people will laugh at me if I tell others about it."
Xie Jin looked at him without any emotion. Although his face was pale and he didn't look very good, the power of this look could not be ignored.
"Since you know that Master Jiu is afraid of taking medicine, why do you deliberately make trouble for me?"
"What do you mean by deliberately making trouble for you?" Chu Nanyi put down the medicine box and motioned him to lie down on the bed. "Prince Yao is worried about your health and is afraid that you will not recover quickly enough, so he asked me to prescribe the medicine for you. Do you think I am willing to waste it on you?"
Even if it is not his money that is spent on getting the medicine, the medicinal materials are innocent and should not be wasted casually.
Xuanyuan Yao stood aside and listened to the conversation between the two. He thought of the two bowls of medicine that Xie Jin vomited last night and this morning. The medicinal materials in them were not expensive for the Xie family, but they were all prices that ordinary people could not afford.
What Xie Jin vomited was all white silver.
Thinking of this, he immediately gave up the plan to continue to get medicine tomorrow, but there was still a patch of medicine to be decocted tonight. It seemed that it should not be wasted since it had been obtained.
"Yaoyao." Xie Jin was lying on the bed, looking at Xuanyuan Yao who was standing beside him, "Thank you for your hard work. You can go have breakfast first, or go out for a walk, and come back after Chu Nanyi finishes the acupuncture."
Xuanyuan Yao glanced at him, his eyes fell on his shoulders.
The clothes were half-dropped from the shoulders, revealing a slender and strong arm. Although it looked white and thin, it was definitely tight and smooth with lines.
"Xie Jin." Xuanyuan Yao asked inexplicably, "How high is your martial arts?"
Xie Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Why?"
"Curious."
"Not too high." Xie Jin said, "I shouldn't be able to beat Yaoyao."
Xuanyuan Yao didn't quite believe it.
He felt that the reason why Xie Jin could run rampant among the noble sons of the imperial family and do whatever he wanted was not just because he was the son of the prime minister. He should have strong ability and confidence, and had strong enough means to solve the troubles he caused.
Although being strong does not necessarily mean having profound martial arts skills, being cunning can still make people fear him, but with Xie Jin's temperament, if he is not good at martial arts, he will be punished sooner or later if he relies on guards for his own safety.
Now he is lying in bed to recover from his injuries, isn't that a good proof?
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Yao couldn't help wondering again. Xie Jin should have a lot of guards around him. Who on earth could really hurt Xie Jin, this evildoer?
"What is Yaoyao thinking about?" Seeing Xuanyuan Yao's thoughtful face, Xie Jin raised his phoenix eyes slightly and spoke with interest, "Are you thinking that whoever has better martial arts skills will be on top in the future--"
"Xie Jin." Xuanyuan Yao's face turned cold and he looked at him unkindly, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will make you drink medicine for a month."
Xie Jin shut up silently, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
Little Leopard probably didn't realize that he would turn around and leave or threaten to leave when he was angry and embarrassed before, but now he just threatened him to drink bitter medicine?
This is considered progress.
"Master Jiu is in good spirits today." Xuanyuan Yao said lightly, "When Mr. Chu gave him acupuncture, he didn't need to be so gentle, and pierced harder, using pain to stimulate his potential and help him recover."
