His Majesty had just ascended the throne but ordered the raid of Grand Tutor Shen's residence. His cruel methods shocked the court and the public.
After that family disaster, Shen Mingzhu...
"Alright, alright, I'm just kidding. I'm Space Baby. If you need any help, you can come to me. We're here to serve transmigrators. Who knew I'd be assigned to you?"
As he spoke, he let out a long yawn, looking as if he had just woken up.
Shen Mingzhuang was taken aback. Had he woken up the little guy by bumping his head?
Wait a minute, this little guy is serving her? How old is he? What can he possibly serve? Is he going to defeat the villain by being cute? That's ridiculous!
"Hey, hey, don't underestimate this demon. I wasn't in charge of such low-level time and space before. If I hadn't been so sleepy, I wouldn't have come here."
"Then what can you do for me?" Shen Mingzhuang asked it, amused.
"I can help you with ideas. Although I am the master of your space, I allow you to borrow my space. Also, I can help you with any difficulties you encounter."
Shen Mingzhuang was skeptical and was about to say something when the person who claimed to be able to help her started yawning again!
"If you're free, I'm going to sleep a little longer."
Shen Mingzhuang was speechless. Well, at least there was still a space he could use, and he might need it sometime. As for this little guy, he still needed to be tested.
"Your Highness, Consort Ming!"
Zhu'er was startled to see her mistress standing there motionless, thinking that her mistress had really damaged her brain.
Seeing this, Tan'er ran to fetch the imperial physician. The commotion in the Hehuan Palace in the middle of the night caused Jiang Wang to rush over immediately. The commotion disturbed the peace of the harem.
Shen Mingzhuang had already applied medicine to her head, but Imperial Physician Jiang still said somewhat guiltily, "Your Majesty, although the wound has been treated with medicine, it will probably still turn blue tomorrow morning. Your Majesty need not worry, it will heal in a few days and will not leave a scar."
Shen Mingzhuang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wouldn't leave a scar, that was fine. She didn't want to be seen with a disfigured face everywhere. Who doesn't like a beautiful appearance?
Jiang Wang frowned slightly upon hearing this, turned to look at the bandaged area, and hesitated before asking, "Doesn't the Imperial Hospital have any better medicine?"
These words seemed to imply that Imperial Physician Jiang was incompetent. Covered in sweat, Imperial Physician Jiang hurriedly replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the medicine used for Her Majesty is already the best. Her Majesty has hit her skull, and it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. This is already a mild case."
But he couldn't help but think to himself, even the best medicine would turn bluish; His Majesty was being far too anxious.
Seeing that Jiang Wang seemed somewhat displeased, Shen Mingzhuang quickly grabbed his hand and said to Imperial Physician Jiang, "Thank you for your trouble, Imperial Physician Jiang. You may go now."
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Jiang hurriedly kowtowed and took his leave, quickly retreating from the Hehuan Palace, fearing that if he was even a step too slow, he would suffer the wrath of thunder.
"I'm fine. It was just a bit stuffy in the room at night, so I went out for some fresh air. I didn't notice when I turned around and bumped into something. It's nothing serious."
She looked at Jiang Wang with a smile and gently shook his arm.
"Alright, I'll stay with you in Hehuan Palace tonight." This is the first time in days that he hasn't stayed in Hehuan Palace, and this girl has caused such a mess. Having witnessed the skills of concubines vying for favor, Jiang Wang couldn't help but think to himself that if this little girl wanted to compete for favor, he would be happy to see it.
But seeing the injury on her forehead, I felt a pang of heartache.
When Shen Mingzhuang heard that Jiang Wang wanted to stay overnight, he really wanted to remind him, "Can you really hold back?"
Held in Jiang Wang's arms, she closed her eyes but felt wide awake. Tan'er was on night duty; outside, the autumn wind rustled the falling leaves, a sound particularly clear in the night. She tried to contact the little demon and the space, but as soon as the thought arose, her head spun again, and the images in her mind quickly changed.
The little demon rubbed her eyes and looked at her with a hint of resentment on her face. "What do you want now?" she asked in a childish voice, without any authority.
Shen Mingzhuang knew that disturbing someone's sleep was not a good thing, but this little fat boy was too sleepy, and sometimes she had no choice but to do it!
"I want to know, what can this space be used for?"
The little demon sat up sullenly and said expressionlessly, "Storing things, planting crops, and preserving freshness are the commonly used functions. You can develop some rarer functions yourself."
As she spoke, her round eyes lit up: "For example, I know you don't get along with that Empress Dowager Yin. You can steal all the secret treasures from her small storeroom and put them in my space for me to watch over. You can also steal the imperial seal and keep it there. You can use the space to take whatever you want for your own use."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingzhuang was speechless. This little guy looked so young, yet he was like a money-grubber. What use was it to have gold and silver treasures?
Seeing what the woman was thinking, the little demon raised her lotus-root-like arm in protest: "What I want is not gold and silver treasures, but sacred objects that have accumulated imperial aura over several dynasties. It's the same here as it is there. As long as we have good things, we can exchange them with others for other good things."
Seeing that Shen Mingzhuang didn't react, the chubby boy sighed again. She looked pretty, but she didn't seem very smart.
"Since I'm so late, I'll give you something as compensation."
After he finished speaking, a scroll appeared in front of Shen Mingzhuang. "Read it carefully, it will benefit you greatly."
Shen Mingzhuang used his consciousness to open the scroll, which turned out to be a martial arts manual. The little fat boy's voice rang in his ears again: "I traded the Qin Emperor's Jade Seal for this. You can look at the first volume first. As for the second volume, you'll have to trade me something good for it."
What a miser! Shen Mingzhuang was both amused and exasperated, but she still really liked the gift. She was currently lacking something for self-defense, and this chubby boy was quite shrewd.
"You, you, you! You're not allowed to curse me in your heart!"
Shen Mingzhuang was stunned! "How can you hear everything? Does that mean you know me better than the worms in my stomach?"
The chubby boy proudly raised his head. Shen Mingzhuang thought to himself, "Oh, how come there's this adorable yet annoying chubby boy again?" As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the little demon suddenly took to the air. It cried out, "Wah!" and kicked its arms and legs in the air, "Put me down! Put me down!"
Shen Mingzhuang quickly put it back, but couldn't help but burst into laughter. So she could touch this little fat cat after all. Let's see if it dares to offend her in the future.
"You bad woman, I knew I shouldn't have given you such a nice thing..."
The next morning, when Shen Mingzhuang opened his eyes again, he felt refreshed and invigorated, as if his meridians had been opened.
She stayed up very late yesterday reading the martial arts manual, and she couldn't get up when Jiang Wang went to court this morning. Perhaps out of concern for her, Jiang Wang made her rest, and Tan Yonglin helped her change into her court clothes. He also instructed the palace servants not to disturb her.
She slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up!
