When I woke up on the dragon bed on New Year's Day, I was still a little unaware of what day it was.
Until a sparrow flew in and asked her, "Master?"
Yuan Dan snapped out of her daze, blinked at the sparrow, and asked, "Where's Qi Zhi?"
sparrow:"??"
Master, are you asking about the Emperor?
But, Master, you usually call him His Majesty the Emperor or by his name here.
"The Emperor has gone to the morning court session."
Yuan Dan frowned slightly; she remembered that the person had injuries.
"Let's go take a look at the Golden Palace." Yuan Dan casually groomed her hair and then led the sparrow to the Golden Palace.
The sparrow was still wondering why its master suddenly addressed the emperor by his courtesy name when it fell a few steps behind: "Master, wait for me."
The Golden Palace at this time.
The fact that the emperor was assassinated at Lingbao Temple yesterday is already known in the court. Although the matter has been handed over to the Dali Temple for investigation, the Dali Temple is not as efficient as the soldiers that Xiao Changqi brought back from Tongzhou. Therefore, Luo Ying is assisting in the investigation from the side.
As Yuan Qing listened to His Majesty's decree, he thought to himself: It was all because Your Majesty insisted on going to find Xiao Yuanyuan. Moreover, all the guards saw it. You ran right into the assassin's sword.
You're supposed to be an emperor, is it really worth it for a little bird?
Just then, a chirping sound came from outside.
The minister who was reporting the matter below paused and exchanged a glance with the minister beside him.
Did you hear anything?
Xiao Changqi looked up and saw a pink ball outside the Golden Palace gate, its pink tail feathers swaying with the bird's movements.
And so, the ministers below witnessed this scene: the ruthless and cold-blooded king chuckled and rose from his throne.
The ministers immediately knelt on the ground.
Xiao Changqi walked straight to the door without looking to the side, bent down, and picked up the little bird that was hiding outside the door and whispering with the sparrow.
What are you doing here?
Yuandan kicked her little paws, looked at him with her bright blue eyes, and said in a sweet, childish voice, "Chirp chirp~"
The tyrant's heart softened at the little bird's sweet voice, and he patted her gently, saying, "I'll play with you again when we get back."
On New Year's Day, she quickly grabbed his fingers and whispered, "I want to stay with you."
Xiao Changqi's smile deepened: "How will you accompany me?"
"I'll accompany you to the morning court session." Yuan Dan glanced at his chest with her beady eyes. "Besides, your injury hasn't healed yet."
"My injuries are no longer serious."
On New Year's Day, she retorted, "You're not a doctor, how do you know everything's alright?"
Xiao Changqi: "..."
Unable to argue with the little bird, the tyrant could only cover its beak, then turn around and head to the morning court with the bird in his pocket.
The ministers only saw their emperor talk to a pink bird outside the door for a while, and then he came back with the bird in his pocket to continue the morning court session.
Minister: "??"
Yuan Qing: "??"
Why does it give off a sense of a tyrannical ruler?
Unable to stay in Xiao Changqi's sleeve any longer, Yuandan crawled out, bounced a couple of times on his lap, and chirped softly.
Xiao Changqi touched the bird's wing expressionlessly.
The ministers below were still eloquently discussing strategies beneficial to the country, while their emperor was playing with birds.
Annoyed by his caresses, Yuandan used her wings to swat away his hand and then flew to stand on his shoulder.
The minister who had spoken stared wide-eyed, and immediately forgot what he was about to say.
This little bird is far too audacious.
That wasn't the most surprising thing. The little bird seemed to be sleepy and felt that the Emperor's shoulders weren't soft enough, so it flew to his head and squatted down in a round ball.
To act arrogantly and domineeringly towards the emperor...
The minister's legs went weak, and he suddenly knelt down with a thud.
