After a moment of stunned silence, Ying Zheng finally came to his senses, frowning as he asked, "Xiaoyao, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaoyao also felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and resumed his usual superior demeanor. "There was something dirty on the ground. I was afraid that the young master would fall, so I wiped it clean myself!"
After speaking, he looked at the little guy and said in an extremely gentle tone, "It's all cleaned up now, young master, please."
The little guy looked helpless, but didn't expose him. "Thank you so much!"
Zhao Gao, however, had somehow gotten down to his knees and was now examining the object closely. "Dirty stuff? Where? There's nothing there!"
Xiaoyao frowned, feeling quite displeased.
Is this guy just bored and has nothing better to do?
But in order not to lose face, he still forced an explanation: "I just wiped it clean, so it's gone now."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhao Gao had already run up to him and begun to examine his monk's robes closely.
After examining the monk's robe for a moment, Zhao Gao said, "The robe is clean; it's clear that it hasn't been wiped clean."
Xiaoyao's brows furrowed even more deeply.
This guy really has nothing better to do than play a curse on him, making his butt hurt every day. That way he won't have time to meddle in other people's business.
Zhao Gao carefully analyzed the situation, "And your action just now didn't look like wiping something; it looked more like you were kneeling on the ground, with your hands holding the young master..."
Xiaoyao's expression was rather cold.
That's too easy on him. Let's cast a curse to make him be followed by all sorts of evil spirits.
That way, someone will pull his feet while he sleeps.
When he urinates, someone will blow on his neck.
When he's lonely, a group of evil spirits will keep him company, making it quite lively.
Zhao Gao pondered, his eyes growing increasingly strange. "I think I even heard you being coquettish..."
As he spoke, he looked at Xiaoyao, but was taken aback.
Xiaoyao's face was icy cold as he stared intently at him.
Kill them!
It would be better to just kill this kind of guy!
Xiaoyao composed himself and said coldly, "Lord Zhao is indeed a clever man; I truly envy him!"
Zhao Gao didn't dare to reply, but he felt that the Grand Master's words contained a deeper meaning.
Xiaoyao's eyes flickered slightly as he stared at Zhao Gao's head and said, "Such a clever brain should be used well while it's still useful! Don't waste it!"
Zhao Gao felt a chill run down his spine and quickly retreated behind Ying Zheng, saying, "There really is something dirty! So the Grand Master really is wiping something dirty!"
"Honestly, my eyesight has been getting worse lately; I almost missed it just now!"
He was also a perceptive person, keenly sensing Xiaoyao's emotions, and decisively chose the approach that would save his life.
He felt more jealousy than anything else towards Xiaoyao.
As the Grand Master of Qin, Xiaoyao held an extremely high status and was highly regarded by Ying Zheng, even surpassing him in rank.
That's why he deliberately said that just now, to put down Xiaoyao's arrogance and mainly to lower Xiaoyao's status in Ying Zheng's heart.
But he knew exactly what he could do.
After all, Xiaoyao's attack was magical damage, which an ordinary person like him couldn't withstand.
Seeing that Xiaoyao did not answer, Zhao Gao decisively slipped away. "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that I didn't bring my clothes in when I left. It looks like it's going to rain. What do you think..."
Ying Zheng understood his ulterior motives and, not intending to make things difficult for him, waved his hand and said, "Go!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao was overjoyed and hurriedly fled.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would suddenly catch fire.
The little boy looked at Ying Zheng and asked, "Dad, is there something you need here?"
Ying Zheng looked at the little guy and said, "After finishing the morning court, I had nothing to do, so I decided to check on the progress of the armor."
The little guy seemed to realize something, and his expression suddenly panicked, "The morning court session?!"
"Father's already finished the morning court session?!"
"Oh no! I have to go back, or Mother will find out!"
The little guy ran quickly to the door and hurriedly escaped.
Ying Zheng looked at the little guy and heard his voice sound very nervous.
My butt!
My butt!
Once the little one had gone some distance, Ying Zheng looked at Xiaoyao and asked, "Why is Yu'er here?"
Xiaoyao replied, "That's a long story."
"However, that's not the point. I've discovered something that will surely please His Majesty!"
Xiaoyao looked very excited.
Ying Zheng was quite interested. "Oh?"
Xiaoyao feigned mystery, "This old man has discovered that the young master is quite special!"
Ying Zheng paused for a moment, then asked, "Especially cute?"
He had asked Xiaoyao for his opinion on the little guy before, but this was Xiaoyao's answer.
This time, Ying Zheng naturally started to make connections in this direction.
Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, "No, it's exceptionally powerful!"
Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he asked again, "What do you mean by that?"
Xiaoyao slowly explained, "Young Master can not only dispel those powerful evil spirits, but he is also very knowledgeable about talismans."
As he spoke, he walked to the armor and pointed at it, saying, "I have restrained the talismans on this armor, and their power is already quite strong. Ordinary evil spirits cannot get close at all."
"But with just a few simple modifications, the young master has greatly increased the power of this talisman, making it completely different from before. It's truly amazing!"
Ying Zheng was quite surprised, "Yu'er knows so much about talismans?"
He knew how powerful the little guy was, after all, he had used the little guy's golden lock.
But I never expected it to have come to this.
Xiaoyao's eyes gleamed, and he looked at Ying Zheng with great excitement, "It seems that the Purple Sandalwood Star that I mentioned has been found."
Ying Zheng said calmly, "I know, it's Yu'er."
Seeing Ying Zheng's calm expression, Xiaoyao was taken aback. "Your Majesty already knew?"
Ying Zheng replied truthfully, "I've known about it for some time now, so I specifically asked you before if you felt that Yu'er was anything special."
"But all you noticed was how adorable he was."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao looked somewhat embarrassed. "This... thinking about it carefully, perhaps the young master's power is too great, engulfing this old man like a vast ocean."
"A fish in a vast ocean cannot perceive the existence of water."
Ying Zheng's gaze fell on the armor, and he was quite moved. "It seems that with this talisman, the Miao region should be safe, and the Xiongnu matter has also been put on the agenda. Great Qin is getting better and better."
Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, then asked, "Could it be that the matter of the Xiongnu is also related to you, young master?"
Ying Zheng did not answer, but looked into the distance, "Yu'er is the lucky star of Qin!"
Xiaoyao nodded, "Yes!"
Ying Zheng turned to look at him, "That might not be the case for you."
Xiaoyao was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Ying Zheng slowly said, "Since the more powerful the talisman, shouldn't all the thousands of suits of armor you drew before be modified?"
Xiaoyao's expression froze.
Damn working life!
······
At this moment, the "lucky star of Qin" that Ying Zheng had mentioned was standing in front of Consort Shu with his hands covering his buttocks and a guilty look on his face. "Mother, do you believe me if I say I sleepwalked?"
