　　"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop talking?" Yan Zhaozhao looked at the man who was looking at her in a daze, and was a little suspicious, "Is my face dirty?"

　　Xie Ciyan curled his lips, "Is it just how I can let Zhaozhao repay this life-saving grace." He ate up all the porridge she fed him, and then in her eyes full of expectation, he said: "Think about it carefully, instead of asking you to repay me now, it is better to use this favor to ask you, Yan Zhaozhao, to stay with me in the future, how about it?"

　　This is a disguised way of asking her for a promise, and also testing her feelings.

　　Yan Zhaozhao understood the meaning of Xie Ciyan's words, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. Does she have feelings for Xie Ciyan? Since she fell off the cliff, she could no longer ignore her feelings.

　　She was pleased with Xie Ciyan, and she liked him since he became her support time and time again. But at that time, she deliberately ignored it, not wanting to have the opportunity to fall into the same situation as her mother, so she avoided it, and was even more unwilling to admit that she had moved on to him. But at the moment of falling off the cliff, she suddenly realized that all her worries in the past seemed to be just her own worries. If she lost her life, her biggest regret might be that she did not give Xie Ci Yan a response that day in the Phoenix Tower.

　　This time, she wanted to be brave and go all out.

　　"If it is what the benefactor wishes, I will certainly agree." She smiled, with a little cunning in her eyes, both smart and charming.

　　Xie Ci Yan gently stroked her slightly red cheeks and suddenly chuckled, "Then it's a deal." He probably never thought that the person he thought would never belong to him in this life would now land in his hands like a miracle.

　　After the injury was almost healed, the old man still did not come again, and Xie Ci Yan had no choice but to thank him and go to find the old man in person.

　　Coincidentally, the old man just came back to the thatched house with a basket of dead branches from outside. There was no way to avoid it, so the old man had to stop in front of Xie Ci Yan. Then he turned slightly sideways in a somewhat unnatural manner, "Sir, are you here to see me for something?"

　　Xie Ci Yan's eyebrows were frivolous, but his eyes as sharp as an eagle were always looking at him. "My injury has healed, and I came here to thank the old man."

　　He glanced at Xie Ci Yan inconspicuously, and then nodded, "Leave as soon as your injury is healed." When he said this, his eyes were a little evasive, as if he didn't dare to look directly at him. "My place is simple, so I won't keep you two nobles."

　　After saying that, he walked past Xie Ci Yan with a basket on his back and went straight to the kitchen.

　　"Eunuch Lu."

　　Xie Ci Yan's voice suddenly sounded, saying an unfamiliar name, but the old man suddenly stopped, his face suddenly changed, and the blood color faded. Looking closely, the already rough hands were trembling slightly. He pretended to be calm, "I don't understand what the young master is saying."

　　Yan Zhaozhao, who was hiding by the door, was shocked when she heard the words. She was the queen, and all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were recorded one by one. Among them, the late emperor had a favored eunuch named Eunuch Lu. He was not a high-ranking eunuch, but a eunuch in charge of grinding beside the late emperor. He also followed the late emperor after he passed away.

　　"How can I not understand? You are Eunuch Lu, old man." As if knowing that he would continue to refute, he gave him a heavy hammer, "When I was young, I saw you. Eunuch Lu, do you think I will make a mistake?"
