Chapter 40 Ugly Flowers, Hateful People

An Jiu is sick.

After returning from that place, she had a recurring nightmare.

Dreaming about a tyrant killing people.

An Jiu is not a saint. It is difficult for her to live her own life and she has no intention of caring about the life and death of others, but witnessing the crime scene with her own eyes is another matter.

People who haven't seen it won't understand.

She had a high fever.

She felt someone coming and someone seemed to be talking, but she couldn't hear it.

She thought she might die.

Because the original owner was scared to death in this way.

Maybe if she died, she could go back to her world, no longer having to worry about life, no longer having to carefully please the emperor and the tyrant, and no longer having to be a slave to others...

"What happened?" Aunt Qu was very worried.

Doctor Jiang said, "He was just frightened."

He frowned: "Have those two been dealt with?"

Aunt Qu sighed: "Your Majesty stabbed him to death."

Aunt Qu investigated and found that the two people were not guilty of any serious crimes. The palace maid was favored by an old eunuch, who secretly took her in and beat and abused her all day long. The guards couldn't stand it and showed some concern for her occasionally, and the two of them got together.

Who knows...

The emperor saw this.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the palace. Although it is forbidden, people are trapped in the deep palace and high walls, and it is inevitable that they will feel lonely and miserable. They just comfort each other...

But rules are rules, and if you break them and are caught, you will die.

Aunt Qu was in a complicated mood. This matter also involved the emperor. The emperor had that kind of temper. He finally had An Jiu, but now he was frightened like this...

Doctor Jiang didn't care much and said, "This little palace maid is too timid."

Aunt Qu was speechless: "She is just a sixteen-year-old girl."

Doctor Jiang stared at An Jiu's face for a long time and nodded in agreement.

It is indeed...a little girl.

I'm afraid Xiaojiu will have to stay away from the emperor from now on.

Doctor Jiang felt a little regretful. He thought Xiaojiu could stop his cousin from going crazy.

but……

"My cousin killed those two people but didn't touch Xiaojiu, which shows that he still cares about Xiaojiu."

Doctor Jiang's words made Aunt Qu fall into silence. After a while, she said, "I'm afraid Xiaojiu will have a knot in her heart."

Doctor Jiang smiled.

"My cousin is the emperor. Whatever he asks for, he will get it."

"Xiao Jiu is just a little palace maid. In this palace, it is easier to crush her to death than to crush an ant."

"We need to let her know that although she is afraid of the Emperor, he is the only one she can rely on. Only in this way can she stay by her cousin's side wholeheartedly."

Aunt Qu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.

An Jiu slept and woke up, woke up and slept. Time seemed infinitely long, yet it also seemed to pass in a flash. When An Jiu opened his eyes again, he saw the familiar roof and bright sunshine.

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She moved her arms, but she felt completely exhausted.

"Awake?" It was a gentle male voice.

An Jiu turned around and saw Doctor Jiang.

However, seeing the handsome guy did not make Anjiu happy, because she did not die, nor did she return to her original world. Anjiu clearly realized that she might never be able to go back.

She struggled to get up, but Doctor Jiang helped her up. An Jiu didn't hesitate. She sat up and said to Doctor Jiang, "Pour me a glass of water."

Doctor Jiang was stunned for a moment and poured her a glass of water.

An Jiu drank it, and then she said to Doctor Jiang: "I'm hungry..."

Doctor Jiang laughed: "You are such a special girl."

An Jiu sneered in her heart. His praise was no different from teasing cats and dogs. She was too lazy to argue with him. Since she couldn't go back and couldn't die, she might as well live well.

Live one day at a time...

She was just a little palace maid, but she could be treated by the emperor's imperial physician. It showed that in their eyes, she was still useful...

In this case, why can't she make good use of this special opportunity to make her life better?

An Jiu ate two large bowls of porridge before putting down his chopsticks.

She felt like she was alive again.

Doctor Jiang kept looking at her with his arms folded. When she put down her bowl and chopsticks, he asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

An Jiu said honestly: "My whole body aches. It may be because I was too tired in the past few days."

Doctor Jiang said thoughtfully, "You have indeed been very hard-working these days."

An Jiu pinched the quilt and asked, "Where is the emperor?"

"He went to court and should be back by now."

An Jiu thought about it and concluded that it was the tyrant who went crazy and it had nothing to do with the Dog Emperor, and it was very likely that the Dog Emperor had no memory of the incident at all.

"Those two people..."

"Dead." Doctor Jiang said with a smile, "They deserve to die anyway, you don't have to take it too seriously..."

"I don't take it to heart." An Jiu looked at Doctor Jiang: "What does the life and death of others have to do with me?"

Doctor Jiang looked at her and said, "It's best if you think so."

An Jiu said: "I want to rest."

Doctor Jiang glanced at her and left.

An Jiu saw a pot of chrysanthemums on the table. The old eunuch in the flower room said that the flowers could bloom into beautiful little daisies. An Jiu was quite looking forward to it.

She saw the pink vase on the table again. There were several flowers in it. The flowers were no longer fresh. Because of the tyrant's violent tearing, some petals had fallen off and they looked lifeless.

An Jiu withdrew his gaze.

Ugly flowers, nasty people.

And the Guanghua Palace.

After the emperor entered the room, he first glanced at Xiaoqiu and Xiaodong and frowned slightly.

After reading the memorial for a while, he looked at Xiaoqiu and Xiaodong again.

The emperor looked away only after the two little palace maids’ hair was about to explode.

Eunuch Li looked at his nose with his eyes and then at his heart with his nose, and suddenly he understood what the emperor meant.

Xiaojiu didn't come, and it was said that he was sick.

That’s right. He had such a hard time recently and then got frightened. It’s not surprising that he got sick.

It’s just that the emperor really cares about Xiaojiu.

"Your Majesty, I heard from the craftsmen that the keel has been set up. Would you like to go and take a look?"

The emperor was indeed in a good mood. He stood up and walked out. Xiaoqiu and Xiaodong looked at each other and were about to follow him. Eunuch Li looked at them and said, "You two stay here."

The two maids breathed a sigh of relief.

The dragon skeleton was indeed built, but it didn't look like a dragon at all. The more the emperor looked at it, the weirder it seemed.

"Is that correct?" asked the emperor.

What on earth is this?

The craftsmen were terrified.

"Your Majesty, it is correct. It is all built according to the diagram given by Miss Xiaojiu."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked casually, "The drawings she gave me?"

The craftsman took out the drawings.

The emperor looked at it and found that it was indeed correct.

Did the silly goose know what this was from the beginning?

"Is this a dragon?" The more the emperor looked at it, the less it looked like a dragon. It looked like a giant lizard standing up...

The craftsman explained: "Your Majesty, Miss Xiaojiu said that this might be the mount of some god in ancient times."

The emperor thought so too. In ancient myths, there were all kinds of strange mounts.

In this case, the strange thing in front of me might really be...

He felt relieved.
