Surprise! The downtrodden prince turned out to be a sinister villain

Chapter 23 023: Getting caught running away

Since Lin Xiao had no objection, Ye Li was also very happy. After a while, a pot of fatty meat was boiled into burnt yellow oil residue, and the aroma filled the whole yard.

Lin Xiao glanced at Ye Li inadvertently, and saw that she was as cheerful as a little sparrow, running back to the house every now and then, bringing back something every time.

Ye Li poured the boiled lard into the jar, and put the leftover lard residue on the plate, looking at the burnt brown lard residue, Ye Li's saliva was almost drooling.

She didn't wrong herself either, she took a spoon and put it into her mouth, narrowing her satisfied eyes.

Seeing her looking like a stealing cat, Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask in a cold voice: "Is it so delicious?"

Ye Li turned to look at him and nodded seriously, "Delicious!"

"Would you like to try it?"

Lin Xiao originally wanted to refuse, but seeing her like that, he suddenly felt that this thing should be pretty good, casually put down the things in his hands, strode forward, and said casually: "For the sake of your sincerity, then I will try it."

Ye Li has long been used to facing her stinky fart, and when he turned around to scoop up the meat, he took the opportunity to give him a blank look, "Nah!"

Lin Xiao watched Ye Li hand over the spoon, narrowed his eyes and replied with disgust, "Have you used it just now?"

Ye Li couldn't help giving him a blank look, opened his mouth to eat the meat in one bite, and said angrily, "Just a spoon, do you like it or not." After speaking, he threw the spoon into the lard residue, hugged and pretended to eat. Pots of lard came into the house.

Lin Xiao looked at Ye Li's back with a gloomy expression. This man really didn't take him seriously anymore, and then he lowered his eyelids and saw a plate of scorched lard residue.

After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the spoon and took a sip. Anyway, the two of them ate in the same rice cooker every day, so they were not so particular about it.

He took a bite and thought it tasted good, so he couldn't help taking another sip. At this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps, paused, threw the spoon back in a hurry, and instantly moved back to the place where he was working just now.

As soon as Ye Li came out, he saw him polishing the table with a cold face and no expression, Ye Li couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him again and ignored him, then the lard in the pot marinated the remaining lean meat.

At this time, Lin Xiao was not so calm. He was polishing the table while quietly peeking at Ye Li’s dried meat. Unfortunately, Ye Li didn’t give him a look during this period. After finally waiting for Ye Li to enter the house again to get something, he hurried over. I squeezed a piece and threw it into my mouth, but fortunately there was more meat, and it was dark and one or two pieces were missing, Ye Li didn't notice.

It was getting late these days, thinking that neither of them had dinner yet, Ye Li cooked two more dishes before it was over.

And the table on Lin Xiao's side is almost polished, just in time for use.

When the two of them sat face to face at the table, it was still a little awkward. After all, the two of them have been eating separately for the past few days and have never been so formal.

Fortunately, one of the two is careless, and the other has a dark face so that nothing can be seen.

Because of the busy day today, Ye Li's physical exhaustion has reached its peak, and she couldn't help dozing off halfway through the meal, holding the steamed buns in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, and she couldn't control it bit by bit of.

Lin Xiao didn't notice the problem at first, but when Ye Li's movements became bigger and bigger, he realized that she had fallen asleep.

Lin Xiao stared at her calmly for a while, then hesitated for a few seconds and knocked the chopsticks on the table in front of her with a dark face.

The crisp knocking sound called back Ye Li, who was wandering, "Why, what's the matter?"

Lin Xiao: "Go to bed when you're sleepy, what does it look like when you're drooling?"

"Ah! Am I drooling?" Ye Li hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth as he asked, but there was nothing, so he knew he was deliberately targeting Liao Kan himself.

Putting the chopsticks and steamed buns on the table, he said lazily, "I won't eat, you pack up after eating." After speaking, he threw himself on the quilt with heavy steps, and soon fell asleep.

Lin Xiao sat alone at the table, watching Ye Li who had already fallen asleep while eating, feeling quite peaceful.

When Ye Li woke up early the next morning, she found that there was no one beside her. She rubbed her head and quickly woke up, forgetting that she was going to run away today and didn't know if there would be time.

She got up in a hurry and packed her things. It didn't seem like she was being unreasonable if all the things she found were divided into two.

All the rest of the things were put into the back basket. Fortunately, she has been exercising a lot in the past few days, so she can carry so many things.

Touching his chest to make sure all the money was packed, he turned around and looked at the thatched hut before turning around and leaving resolutely.

On the day she went to the town, she had inquired about the route, because this was the land of exile, and if she wanted to go out from here, she had to pass through the gate of the city.

When she arrived at the gate of the city, there were not many people queuing out of the city. Ye Li looked down at his attire, thinking that no one would recognize him since the original owner had fallen from a rich young lady, so he planned to fool him.

After finally waiting for her, she thought she would be as relaxed as the person in front, but the person who wanted to check suddenly showed his weapon.

"stop!"

Ye Li paused, raised his head and looked over sheepishly, and saw two officers and soldiers holding spears and pointing at him expressionlessly.

"My lord, what is this?" As soon as the voice finished speaking, the officers and soldiers were seen striding towards him.

"Long time no see, Princess Xiao! Why are you going?"

Ye Li knew it was bad when he heard his smirk, this man actually recognized him.

Ye Li laughed dryly, "I...I don't want to go out and sell some things to subsidize the family."

"Really?" said the leader of the officers and soldiers, walking forward and opening her pannier to have a look.

"Is everything ready?"

Ye Li smiled obsequiously, "It's not about being prepared."

The officer and soldier didn't pay attention to her flattery, his eyes turned cold, and he said loudly: "Take it away!"

After speaking, two officers and soldiers stepped forward and grabbed her arm one by one and pulled her aside.

Ye Li shouted loudly while struggling: "My lord! My lord! I have been wronged!"

It's a pity that even though she shouted loudly, no one paid attention to her.

It didn't take long for Ye Li to experience the feeling of being in a big prison. Fortunately, no one went through her things, and the things she brought were still there, but the environment of the big prison was a little worse, and there were rats running around everywhere.

When the prisoners in the prison saw her, they just looked up at her without curiosity.

"Hey! Princess Xiao, why did you come in again?"

Ye Li turned around and looked at the cell next to him, and saw a little beggar lying on the wooden board and staring at him curiously.

Ye Li...

"I come in often?" Ye Li asked in surprise.

Little beggar: "Isn't it? You used to come here every now and then, but this time you came later."
