"Then why do you want the thousand-year ginseng?" Nan Gong Qian was curious. Who was it that made him risk his life to barge into the palace to ask for the thousand-year ginseng? Could it be...

Before Nan Gong Qian could ask, Xiao Bei had already told him everything. Knowing that Lin Ruo Yin was poisoned, Nan Gong Qian's heart tightened, but he did not immediately agree.

"Your Highness, please give me the medicine!" Xiao Bei knelt down on the ground again and clasped his hands together.

Nan Gong Qian did not speak for a long time. Xiao Bei did not know what he was thinking. Didn't he like Lin Ruo Yin? Didn't he know that she was poisoned? Shouldn't he agree to it? Why was he hesitating?

"You want the thousand-year ginseng, I can give it to you, but what do you want in exchange?" Nan Gong Qian finally opened his mouth. He had never given something for free. If he wanted it, he would give it to him. This was very fair.

Exchange? Xiao Bei was stunned for a moment. What could he have on him that could be exchanged for that precious thousand-year ginseng? Moreover, why couldn't he understand what Crown Prince was doing?

"Isn't saving your beloved girl willingly? Crown Prince, I don't understand." Xiao Bei frowned.

Hearing his words, not only did Nan Gong Qian not think that he was impudent, he even laughed out loud, "Is there something you can't see clearly?"

"I'm sorry, I am stupid." Xiao Bei had to admit that he really couldn't see through him.

Nan Gong Qian didn't want to beat around the bush. He turned around and stared at Xiao Bei, saying seriously, "You are the only one who can give me what I want."

Xiao Bei didn't ask, but quietly waited for Nan Gong Qian's words.

"Because what I want is you." Nan Gong Qian suddenly changed the topic and no longer joked.

What could I give him? Oh right, I have no attachment to this world, and only this life … Crown Prince's meaning is … to let him die.

Xiao Bei suddenly raised his head and said that it was impossible for him to not be scared. It was as if he had never seen through this future emperor. Right, who was he? How could he understand the true and false of this emperor's family?

But, he wanted his life …

"Why? Are you unwilling?" Nan Gong Qian unnaturally put his hands behind his back. Only he knew how tightly his hands were clenched, and how much he cared about his answer.

Hearing Nan Gong Qian's question, Lin Ruo Yin's pale face once again appeared in Xiao Bei's eyes, and what the Abbot Master said.

Forget it, he should have died a long time ago. Now that he could live for so long, it was the heavens' blessing to him. Moreover, he died for the woman in his heart, so it wasn't a loss.

"Zheng!" Xiao Bei pulled out his sword and was about to slit his throat.

Nan Gong Qian was frightened by the sudden change, but he still managed to knock the sword down in time. He was very angry at the fact that he was seeking death. He glared at Xiao Bei and growled, "Even if you don't want to follow me, you don't have to seek death!"

After Nan Gong Qian's roar, Xiao Bei finally understood what he meant. He could not help but lower his head, and the atmosphere became very awkward.

"Your Highness, I..." Xiao Bei wanted to explain, but before he could start, he was interrupted by Nan Gong Qian's angry roar.

"Enough!" Nan Gong Qian turned around and slowly closed his eyes. He could still see the person behind him waving his sword at his neck. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Tomorrow morning, follow me to get the thousand-year-old ginseng."

Xiao Bei was overwhelmed with gratitude. He knelt down and thanked him. After waiting for a long time, he did not see anyone speak. He quietly raised his head and realized that the person who was standing in front of him had already disappeared.

Looking at the empty hall, Xiao Bei was at a loss. Was he asking him to wait here for the night? It seemed that he had angered him quite a bit...

"Young Hero." Xiao Bei was still thinking when a sharp voice came from behind him. He quickly turned around and saw a grandfather standing behind him. When he saw him turn around, he said, "Crown Prince has ordered me to bring Young Hero to his room to rest. Tomorrow morning, Crown Prince will bring Young Hero to get what you want."

Xiao Bei's heart was filled with indescribable complicated emotions. This person was really strange. Just a moment ago, he was so angry that he left, and just when he thought that he would be standing here for the whole night, he found someone to arrange a place for him.

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Xiao Bei said politely.

The old man did not say anything else and turned to leave. Xiao Bei quickly followed him. After walking a few more turns, he finally stopped in a room. The old man pushed open the door and invited Xiao Bei in.

Xiao Bei entered the room and saw that it was very clean. There was even someone who had already prepared hot water. On the table, there was also a set of green clothes. He couldn't help but think that this Crown Prince seemed to be quite nice to people. He was actually so thoughtful.

"Young Hero, please rest early." After the old man finished speaking, he retreated.

After the old man left, Xiao Bei walked around the room, took off his clothes, and bathed. Then, he laid down on the bed.

Originally, he was tired enough today, but Xiao Bei could not sleep no matter what. In his mind, he was thinking about Lin Ruo Yin's poisoning, and then he jumped to the old cook who was willing to die than hand over the antidote. Then, he thought about the Crown Prince's strange words. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. What was going on? Why did he have to encounter all of this?

In the end, the scene froze when Nan Gong Qian knocked the sword in his hand down and glared at him with anger. The more he thought about it, the messier it became. Xiao Bei thought about it for almost an entire night, and only when it was almost dawn did he feel a little sleepy. However, not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by the noise outside. Just as he was about to flare up, Nan Gong Qian pushed open the door and walked in.

"Do you still want the thousand-year ginseng?"

Xiao Bei looked at the person who suddenly barged in and was stunned for a moment before he realized his purpose in coming to the Imperial Palace. He quickly got up from his bed and knelt down, saluting, "Your Highness Crown Prince, may you have a thousand years of happiness."

Nan Gong Qian frowned slightly and told him to quickly clean up and wait for him outside.

In fact, Nan Gong Qian was very angry last night. He, the Crown Prince, could not even keep a servant? Although this servant was not an ordinary servant, he could feel a unique aura from him. So when he saw that Xiao Bei wanted to commit suicide, he really wanted this person to die in front of him.

However, he had always been a person who valued talent, and the feeling that Xiao Bei gave him was so special. That was why he wanted to keep him and use him.

"Your Highness Crown Prince?" Xiao Bei had already changed his clothes, and his green robe was very close to his body. Nan Gong Qian turned around and looked at him, then turned around and walked forward.

Xiao Bei had thought about the question for the whole night, but he still did not have an answer. However, when he thought about how the Crown Prince actually agreed to give him the thousand-year ginseng, he felt grateful at the same time, but also a little apologetic. After thinking about it for a long time, he still took a few steps forward and chased behind Nan Gong Jin, saying, "Your Highness Crown Prince, I have something to say."
