Chapter 372 Sweet Dreams
Sang Luo didn't think that hundreds or thousands of years would be enough for the young Minos to remember such an insignificant person like her.
For a child, especially a holy son of noble status, it would not take a few years, perhaps a few months or a few days, for him to forget about her after waking up from a night's sleep, so there was no need to worry too much about revealing her true appearance.
"You, you are..." The young man looked at her and murmured, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Sang Luo guessed what the boy was afraid of. Her appearance was too unique in the eyes of the angels. She smiled and explained, "Your Highness, don't worry. I am not a fallen angel and I will not hurt you. If you don't believe me, you can try using the angel's divine light. Fallen angels fear this thing the most~"
Minos pursed his lips, swallowed his words, and said nothing more.
Sang Luo heated up the somewhat cold medicine and gave it to him to drink.
This time Minos did not refuse and drank the medicine quietly.
Sang Luo took the empty medicine bowl from him, bowed and turned away.
A faint fragrance drifted past his nose, pleasant to the touch. The boy stole a glance toward the door.
After the female figure turned the corner and disappeared, he buried his head back in the soft, snow-white quilt, covering half of his face, leaving only a pair of beautiful blue eyes exposed, which he slowly closed.
…
In the second half of the night, the little saint developed a high fever again, which gave the doctors in the Holy Palace a lot of trouble.
No one dared to close their eyes for the entire night before the little prince's condition was stabilized.
Sang Luo and several other attendants took close care of the sleeping Minos.
She brought a tray of warm water, soaked a clean towel in it, and placed it on his forehead.
The young man was suffering from illness, his long and thick eyelashes were wet with tears, and he was trembling restlessly in his sleep, which made people feel very pitiful.
Sang Luo's eyes darkened slightly, and he turned to the attendant beside him and said, "Brothers, you haven't slept all night. Go and rest first. The young prince's condition is under control. There's nothing serious tonight. I'll be on duty to take care of the young prince."
"What about you?"
"I slept for half the day and wasn't sleepy at night."
"Okay, you keep watch tonight, and I'll do it tomorrow. We'll take turns."
"Um."
After Sang Luo and others left, she sat down beside the bed and held Minos's thin and pale hand.
The light golden power was transmitted into his body, slowly calming the restless power in his body.
She still softened her heart.
Just helping him relieve the pain...it should be fine...
In his daze, Minos smelled that faint fragrance again. This time, the two were closer, and he could smell it more clearly. It was a bit like the scent of lily of the valley...
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a figure gradually became clear in his blurry vision.
Is that the maid?
She, she actually held his hand...
Minos tried to pull his hand away and scold him harshly, but he couldn't muster the strength.
Soon, he discovered that his body did not resist her approach, nor did he show any uncomfortable reaction.
In the past, he hated being touched by others and would always have an allergic reaction.
But she didn't?
Why?
The aura of power emanating from her palm was also very familiar, so familiar that he suddenly thought it was his own original power.
His body felt more comfortable and relaxed than ever before. He slowly closed his eyes while thinking about random things.
Sang Luo was so focused that she didn't notice that the boy had quietly woken up in the middle of the night. After she calmed down the restless power in Minos' body, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the boy who was sleeping peacefully.
His cheeks became rosy white, his breathing became shallow, and he should have a good dream tonight.
Sang Luo covered him with a blanket, and the next second, appeared on the roof of the palace.
At night, most people in the palace went to bed, leaving only the guards who were changing shifts.
She went to the place where the Holy Ancestor was in seclusion.
Outsiders cannot enter as there are many guards deployed outside.
Sang Luo pretended to be a new member of the shift change team and chatted with two guards. "...How many years has the Holy Ancestor been in seclusion? Has he said when he will come out?"
The honest guard shook his head, "We are not in a position to know what the Holy Ancestor is doing. We just need to do our job well."
Another guard said, "I've been in the palace for more than ten years, and I've never seen the legendary Saint Ancestor."
An older guard came over and overheard their conversation, then casually chimed in, "I once had the honor of meeting the Holy Ancestor! He was so majestic, even the Holy Emperor had to bow and give way to him!"
The honest guard was surprised, "Isn't the Holy Lord the ruler of the Holy Temple? Why is he being so polite to the Holy Ancestor?"
The old guard said meaningfully, "You newcomers have seen too little. The true master of the temple is the Holy Ancestor."
"It's just that the Holy Ancestor has been in seclusion for many years, so he established the Holy King."
"I remember the last time the Holy Ancestor came out of seclusion was when the Holy Son was born. Not long after, the Holy Son's mother passed away. The news was that it was because of a difficult birth caused by giving birth to a divine angel. The subsequent treatment and recovery could not keep up, so she died of exhaustion. But I clearly saw it back then..."
Sang Luo and the two young guards listened attentively.
The old guard seemed to have violated some taboo and did not dare to continue.
After Sang Luo flattered him for a few words, he let go and showed off what he had seen and heard that year.
"After the Holy Ancestor came out of seclusion, he met the late Holy Empress alone once. A fierce argument could be heard from the palace. I heard that the Holy Emperor wanted to seize the custody of the Holy Son, but was sternly refused by the Holy Empress."
"The next morning, news arrived of the Holy Queen's passing... You must not spread it. Just pretend you heard nothing today and that it was all just nonsense!"
The old guard shook his head and left.
The real inside story is unknown, but over the years, there have been many people who have been suspicious, but no one dared to speak out.
Sang Luo frowned, "Is what that senior said true?"
"There's nothing interesting going on in the palace. It's very boring. People love to gossip. Who knows whether what he says is true or false?" The honest guard shook his head.
Another guard hesitated, "But I've heard another rumor that seems to connect the dots."
No matter where you are, gossip is human nature. In addition, Sang Luo deliberately asked questions and actually got a lot of information out of these guards.
"After the death of the late Saint, the late Saint Lord once ventured into the Saint Ancestor's retreat alone. Half a month later, he died of depression... I heard that he was covered in blood when he emerged from the retreat. Do you think the two of them had a fight over this?"
"That's possible."
"The former Holy Queen and the former Holy King have both passed away. Under whose name is the Holy Son now? The current Holy King?" Sang Luo had a bad premonition in his heart.
Minos' parents died too early. Although the angels were powerful, they had no ability to protect themselves when they were young. His body was still so weak that it was easy for him to be targeted by people with ulterior motives and become fat meat to be divided up, or he might suffer some bad things in the palace, such as being abused by servants... Generally in this situation, the temple would find another fosterer for the young Son of God. Even if it was only a nominal fosterer, he could ensure that he grew up safely and smoothly.
"The current Holy Lord had no intention of adopting the Holy Son. It was the Holy Ancestor who kindly took the Holy Son in and raised him under his name." The guard hesitated when he said the word "kindly".
Sang Luo thought to himself that it was indeed so.
The Holy Ancestor had been thinking about Minos from the very beginning.
Minos's soul bones hadn't fully developed when he was young, so he hadn't taken action yet. It would be easier to take action if he brought him closer!
Sang Luo used his power to explore Minos' body. His life soul bone was almost developed, and it was estimated that the day for the Holy Ancestor to come out of seclusion would be approaching.
