Chapter 3 Who is talking?

The emperor had a headache and almost killed a palace maid with a knife, but the maid was frightened and now had a high fever and was obviously dying.

Then Aunt Qu came, and she scanned the crowd with her narrow eyes, and then...

An Jiu met his gaze.

An Jiu wanted to slap himself to death. This was more terrifying than suddenly making eye contact with a teacher who was about to ask a question during class.

Sure enough, Aunt Qu pointed at An Jiu and Xiao Hua and said, "You two come here."

Xiaohua looked ashen. Anjiu stood up. She had a bad feeling. The others looked at them with sympathy...

Anjiu and Xiaohua followed Aunt Qu out. Aunt Qu said, "Xiaochun and Xiaoxia who served the emperor are gone. You two go." She pointed at Anjiu and said, "From now on, you will be called Xiaochun." She pointed at Xiaohua and said, "From now on, you will be called Xiaoxia."

An Jiu "..."

It seems that the names of palace maids are constant but changing. When someone dies, the name is retained and someone else takes over?

Yes, otherwise, considering the speed at which the emperor killed the palace maids, he would not be able to remember their names.

An Jiu felt that the palace was increasingly filled with weirdness. She also felt a chill on her neck. She wondered how sharp the emperor's knife was. She hoped that he could stab her to death more quickly, as she heard that quick death would be less painful.

As they were thinking about this, Aunt Qu took them to Guanghua Palace.

"Go in." Aunt Qu said casually. For a moment, An Jiu felt that Aunt Qu was just sending them to the emperor to be killed for fun.

Doesn't this require any training?

The two of them walked into the hall woodenly. This was the second time An Jiu came in. The last time, the emperor killed someone in front of her...

The hall was very quiet, incense was lit in the room, and the emperor fell asleep on the desk.

The king of a country fell asleep on the table, and no one cared...

Before An Jiu could figure out the situation, he heard a malicious voice.

[I will pretend to be asleep. Whoever dares to call me will be stabbed by me.]

The sound was followed by a strange and weird laugh.

An Jiu was so scared that she almost couldn't stand. She looked at Xiaohua next to her... No, she should call her Xiaoxia now.

Xiao Xia lowered her head and didn't say anything. And the voice just now was clearly a man's...

Who is it?

Before An Jiu could figure out the situation, he heard the voice say again: [It’s okay if you don’t shout, count to ten. If you dare to let the emperor catch a cold while sleeping here, I must stab him twice more…]

An Jiu "..."

【one……】

Who is it? Is it him? An Jiu looked at the emperor who was sleeping on the table.

It's him.

But before An Jiu could figure out why she could hear what the dog emperor was thinking, she heard the emperor's voice again.

【two……】

Ahhhhhhhhh!

An Jiu felt that something was wrong. If he guessed correctly, he would kill people regardless of whether he wanted to wake up the dog emperor or not...

【three……】

An Jiu turned to look at Xiao Xia, she was indifferent and obviously didn't hear anything.

It seems that only I can hear it.

【Four……】

What should I do? What should I do?

【five……】

calm……

【six……】

Don't panic, don't panic...

Xiao Xia behind her noticed that something was wrong with An Jiu and looked at her nervously, as if she didn't understand what was going on.

【seven……】

An Jiu "..."

【eight……】

Never mind...

An Jiu pulled Xiao Xia and ran out. Xiao Xia was startled, but she was too nervous to react, so she could only run...

【Nine……】

After they ran out the door, the sound could no longer be heard.

Before An Jiu could breathe a sigh of relief, he met Aunt Qu's stern gaze.

"Why did you come out?"

Without waiting for Xiao Xia to answer, An Jiu said, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty is taking a nap, we dare not disturb him."

Xiao Xia stared at An Jiu with wide eyes, just because of this?

What should I do if the emperor blames me?

An Jiu kept winking at Xiao Xia, but she still stood up and said to Aunt Qu: "Aunt, Xiao Chun dragged me out by force. I don't know anything."

Before An Jiu could say anything, Aunt Qu suddenly smiled. The smile was very faint, so faint that it was almost invisible and then disappeared.

An Jiu heard Aunt Qu say to Xiao Xia: "Then go in and see if His Majesty has woken up."

Xiao Xia: "..."
