Chapter Eighteen Night Talk
The dim candlelight sways, illuminating a small space.
Outside the bedroom, the night is as dark as ink, which always gives people a sense of indescribable horror.
On such nights, it is always easy to remind people of horror stories about old grandma scaring children.
Seeing that Zi Wan didn't answer, Xiao Ming called out twice, but the people in the bed still did not respond, which made Xiao Ming have a lot of thoughts.
He came here through time, and there were many sayings about ghosts and gods in ancient times, especially in this environment, which was even better than TV series.
"Ziyuan, don't scare me, otherwise I'll be polite." Xiao Ming's voice trembled. He was not afraid of this person, but he was afraid of these strange powers and chaos.
The suffocating silence in the bedroom answered him.
Xiao Ming is not calm now. There must be someone in this bed, not a ghost, what if he is an assassin?
The assassination has only been a few days.
Although Xiao Ming came to this world and was a prince, he was still lonely and scared in his heart.
It is a normal mood to face a completely unfamiliar and environment alone.
"Great rich!" Xiao Ming still chose not to get close, because it was also for his own safety.
"Here!" The shout came in time. Qian Dafu ran in, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
In my memory, the only thing Xiao Ming believed was Qian Dafu. He pointed to his bed and said, "Go, lift the quilt and see what is hidden in it?"
Qian Dafu said strangely: "Your Highness, of course it is Aster here. Didn't you tell her to warm you up? This girl knows that she is a bit arrogant today and dare not disobey Your Highness's orders."
"Really? Then why didn't she dare to answer me?" Xiao Ming was relieved and couldn't help but get angry, which scared him.
Qian Dafu said: "Your Highness, Aster and Green Ivy were always around the Empress before. I have never encountered this warm quilt. This is inevitable that this is a little nervous for the first time."
Xiao Ming frowned, none of them could save him any worry. He said to Qian Dafu: "Go, let her go back, it's really annoying to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a moaning cry suddenly came from the quilt. Then Ziyuan lifted the quilt and cried, "Your Highness, Ziyuan knew that she was wrong. She shouldn't be clever today and angered Your Highness. But Ziyuan did this for the sake of His Highness' reputation and saved the servants from geeking. If Pang Changshi knew about this, he would definitely report to Your Highness again. The Queen's request for Your Highness to visit her relatives next year would probably be delayed."
"That's right, Your Highness." Qian Dafu sighed, "Is this the Empress who misses Your Highness the most in Chang'an? I hope your highness can remember the Empress's painstaking efforts."
When talking about Concubine Zhen, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a little bitter. I have to say that Xiao Ming is not a good person anymore. Concubine Zhen always loves him very much. Every time Xiao Ming makes a mistake, Concubine Zhen will always endure Xiao Wenxuan's scolding and ask him for mercy.
"Hmph, forgot, you all go out. I am just a warning to you to use the right place to be smart, do you understand?" Xiao Ming said to Ziyuan.
Aster was blessed with joy, and the pear blossoms were filled with rain. "Yes, Your Highness, Aster remembers it, and will never dare to do it again next time."
Qian Dafu glared at Aster, "I haven't left yet, I'm actually making Your Highness angry."
Aster wiped his tears, bowed again, turned around and disappeared into the night.
At this time, Xiao Ming said to Qian Dafu: "You guys, come together to deal with me, do you think I can't see it?"
"Hehe, Your Highness is wise, I know that I can't hide it from you, Your Highness, but Your Highness really has to think about the Empress. Now the Emperor is getting worse and worse. If the Emperor returns with a crane, the Empress will be helpless in the palace. If someone mentions the burial of his life at that time, Empress..." Speaking of this, Qian Dafu's eyes were slightly red, and he seemed to be extremely worried.
"Who dares!" A rage of anger surged out from Xiao Ming's intuition, as if it hurt the most painful thread in his memory.
When emperors of all dynasties die, there will be concubines burying themselves with them. At that time, the mother is noble by her son. These people who are buried with them will basically be born among concubines who have no support.
Qian Dafu continued: "Your Highness, today I have said a lot. Since Your Highness was seriously ill, I have seen that Your Highness has grown a lot. Originally, I was already desperate and just waited for the Empress to go, I followed him. But now I believe that Your Highness can make the Empress turn the danger into safety. As long as Your Highness is diligent and loving the people, and having a strong fiefdom, no matter who ascends the throne, you must weigh your weight."
Xiao Ming nodded. Qian Dafu's sincerity was said, it could be said that he was heartfelt. He now occupied Xiao Ming's body, so it was Xiao Ming. Because he came to this world, he belonged to this world.
Qian Dafu's words made him suddenly realize this. There are still people in this world who need him and people he needs.
"I understand your painstaking efforts. When I was sick, I regretted the unrestrainedness of the past and will not be like before in the future." Xiao Ming said solemnly to Qian Dafu.
"Your Highness!" Qian Dafu's tears rolled in his eyes.
Xiao Ming smiled and patted his shoulder. Qian Dafu now probably felt that the thousand-year-old iron tree had bloomed, but in this way, Xiao Ming could be the real self.
After staring at Qian Dafu for a few seconds, Xiao Ming suddenly became a little strange. He only remembered that Qian Dafu had been following Zhenfei in his memory when Xiao Ming was born. In his opinion, Qian Dafu seemed to be too loyal to Zhenfei.
He couldn't help but ask, "Dafu, why are you so sincere to us, mother and son?"
Xiao Ming asked this because he was completely worried that Concubine Zhen had cuckolded Xiao Wenxuan, and was afraid that one day Qian Dafu suddenly cried and said to him, I am your father.
After a moment of confusion, Qian Dafu said, "Your Highness, my father was framed and implicitly mocked the current emperor because of writing a poem. If it weren't for the Empress's pleading, the old slave family would have been killed, instead of being sent to slaves. At that time, I was sent to the palace and was often bullied by the little eunuch in the palace, so the Empress placed me by my side."
Xiao Ming almost blurted out a "eunuch" and he now understood.
"Why do every dynasty have literary inquisition?" Xiao Ming muttered, and he said, "So that's it. I will definitely rehabilitate your family for a day."
"I thank Your Highness." Qian Dafu looked excited and knelt down.
"You, my master and servant work together, how can you say Xie? Get up, I have an important thing to hand over to you."
