Chapter 8 What Does He Want to Do?

Nie Yao had a heart attack.

But the things were already in his brother's hands, and it was difficult for him to take them back.

That's it.

It doesn't matter. He's used to being poor, so losing these things is nothing.

Nie Yao comforted himself in his heart. As he walked into the palace, he found that the people in the palace had not left yet.

Moreover, they were holding a priceless BMW and a box of glittering gold bars.

Nie Yao looked at the housekeeper in confusion.

The butler whispered, "Sir, they said His Majesty wants to make a deal with you."

I see.

Nie Yao was curious about what the new emperor was going to do. Was he planning to mobilize troops? Was he being too impatient? He had only just ascended the throne and there was still a lot of mess to deal with...

"Greetings, Master Nie."

The palace servants were still very respectful to him. "Your Majesty, please return to the palace. If you wish, these are His Majesty's gifts to you."

Nie Yao liked cars in his previous life, and he likes horses in this life.

However, he had to earn his own money in this life, and he worked so hard to save enough to buy a superb horse. Thinking of his beloved cars that filled several garages in his past life, every time he went to see his beloved horse, he felt that it was so lonely.

"cough……"

Nie Yao twisted his fingers and couldn't help but touch the smooth fur of the well-behaved horse.

He pretended to cough and asked the palace attendant, "Well, is His Majesty awake?"

"In reply to your Excellency's words, only Eunuch Xiaodouzi knows His Majesty's daily routine. The servants and others do not know when His Majesty wakes up in the morning."

"Then how did you get here?"

"Your Majesty instructed us yesterday to bring these things to you as soon as you leave the palace."

In addition to the silver used in the transaction, there were also horses and gold.

Nie Yao: "Then why did Your Majesty summon me this time?"

"I don't know."

I don’t know.

Are these the New Emperor's men, or are they unwilling to tell me because I didn't give them any money?

Nie Yao hesitated for a while, and reluctantly took out a handful of copper coins from his purse. After thinking for a while, he put some of them back, and finally handed two coins to the leading palace maid.

The palace maid took the copper coins.

"Sir, you will know when you go there."

I wonder what’s the difference between this and what happened just now?

It was totally not worth it for him to spend these two copper coins!

Nie Yao was angry, but ultimately he couldn't resist the temptation of the BMW and gold bars, and once again got on the carriage and went to the palace.

The guy who came to pick him up this time was the familiar guy from before.

"Little Bean Master."

The palace servant who escorted the horse bowed to him, then took out the two copper coins that Nie Yao had just given him from his sleeve and handed them to him, "Master Nie is here."

"Um."

Xiaodouzi asked Nie Yao to get off the carriage and get into the sedan chair.

Nie Yao tossed and turned all night and yawned.

He casually asked the little bean: "Eunuch, has His Majesty woken up?"

"To answer your Excellency's question, Your Majesty does not allow outsiders to enter or leave the bedroom. He only summons people to serve him after he wakes up in the morning. Therefore, I only know that Your Majesty has not yet woken up."

"Are you Xiaodouzi?" Nie Yao asked again.

"Yes, sir. My name is Xiaodouzi."

Nie Yao felt that the name was somewhat familiar. Thinking back, it seemed that when he had sent his two brothers to the child, he and his brothers had named them together.

A small bean and a wheat seed.

Nie Yao hesitated for a moment and asked Xiaodouzi, "How is Xiaomai now?"

Xiaodouzi smiled and replied, "Thanks to you, my lord, my brother and I are doing well now. Seven years ago, Xiaomaizi married a doctor, and now they have a son and live a happy life."

"Xiao Mizi is now working in the imperial kitchen. He has been researching for many years and finally made a cream cake."

"You can try the breakfast later to see if it suits your taste."

Cream cake...

The memories of the past were too long ago, and Nie Yao no longer remembered that he had ever mentioned this kind of thing to them. He only remembered that he had made a cake for the child on his birthday.

Oh, right.

He seemed to have mentioned at the time that it would taste better with cream.

But he didn't know the specific method, so he didn't say much.

Unexpectedly, someone still remembered this and made it after years of research.

Nie Yao felt a little complicated.

After the new emperor took the throne, he had always been wary of him. This had nothing to do with the new emperor himself. In fact, no matter who sat in that position, he would test and guard against him in every possible way to prevent his family from suddenly and tragically dying for no reason.

But this new emperor...

well……

Nie Yao now had no idea whether the other party really remembered the kindness they had shown him in the past or was just putting on an act.

Rather than the child playing tricks and waiting for an opportunity to kill him, Nie Yao himself would rather believe that the other party still remembers their old friendship and can tolerate the Nie family's huge power and reputation that can threaten the imperial power.

But he didn't dare to gamble.

In the court, if they were to take a wrong step, they would be faced with a bloody abyss.

He cannot and must not think too highly of others.

You will really die.

In this world, death is too easy.

"Master Nie, please."

We have arrived at the emperor's bedroom.

Nie Yao gathered his thoughts and got out of the sedan chair.

In the bedroom.

The new emperor is still sleeping.

The slender little boy curled up into a ball, holding a stuffed doll in his arms. No one knew what he was dreaming about, but he frowned and pouted, looking very unhappy.

He had kicked the brocade quilt to who knows where. If it weren't for the floor heating in the hall, he would have caught a cold.

The doll in the boy's arms was a little faded.

But Nie Yao recognized that these crooked stitches were sewn by him stitch by stitch.

It’s a pity that it was difficult to recognize that this was a little tiger from the beginning.

"Don't you want it?"

Nie Yao pulled the quilt to cover the little boy and touched his head like he did when he was a child.

Sighing softly: "I thought you went somewhere else..."

"Why do you want to be emperor?"

"The old toad is already dead. What else do you want to do?"

No one gave him an answer.

After a night of running around, I felt sleepy.

Nie Yao took off his coat and took a nap on the couch in the outer room.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

"Lord Nie, Lord Nie!!"

The new emperor looked down at him coldly and condescendingly.

Nie Yao was a light sleeper and woke up immediately.

"Your Majesty."

He lazily rose from the couch and saluted disrespectfully.

The new emperor was still in his pajamas, and seeing him slouching about, he was very annoyed. "Lord Nie, did I pay you to come here so you can sleep?"

"Um... May I ask, Your Majesty, what may I do for you?"

"Undress me!"

Change clothes.

Okay.

Nie Yao followed the angry new emperor and saw the dragon robe behind a screen.

The new emperor opened his arms and asked Nie Yao to put the clothes on him quickly.

New Emperor: "If anything goes wrong, one wrong payment will cost you one piece of gold!"

Is there still the balance?

Why didn’t you say it before?

If I had known this earlier, I would have asked him to stay by his bed and help him sleep.

Nie Yao: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can handle this little thing."

He does.

After all, I've lived for so many years, so even if I'm not used to it, I'll get used to it eventually.

Nie Yao helped him put on the dragon robes piece by piece, and his skill was no less than that of Xiaodouzi who had served him all year round.
