Chapter 20 The Black Ginger Dog Emperor now has such a unique taste, I like it...
With a bitter face, Su Mian's hand trembled slightly as he picked up the silver needle. He even suspected that the needle would turn the patient black immediately.
He hoped so, but the needle poked into an unknown object and when it was pulled out, there was nothing but some black residue and no reaction at all.
[God is going to destroy me!] What's wrong with this dog emperor? He's torturing me and himself? ]
Su Mian held his head high to prevent the tears from falling. His hand trembled slightly as he picked up the chopsticks. He tried his best to pick an object that didn't look too carbonized. He couldn't tell whether it was a piece of meat or a piece of vegetable.
Anyway, the silver needle has been tried. For a moment, Su Mian really hoped that the Dog Emperor would just eat it directly without letting him test the poison, or that he would secretly throw it away and pretend that he had eaten it.
[Anyway, eating it won’t kill me. If I die, I will become the emperor. Hehe. ]
But before he could finish making his beautiful wish, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that the Dog Emperor was staring at him intently, as if he would not let him leave if he did not eat today.
For a moment, Su Mian was a little doubtful. How had he offended the Dog Emperor?
But he ran around and worked hard for the happiness of the dog emperor, and also tried hard to resolve the disputes in the harem and find out the truth.
[There will never be a more dedicated eunuch chief than me! ]
Su Mian swore so confidently that Cheng Changgeng wanted to laugh after hearing it.
But no matter how stubborn he is, he still has to act like a grandson in reality and eat the black thing on the chopsticks.
Forget it, he closed his eyes and stuffed the food into his mouth. It didn’t matter whether he lived or died, he would fight!
When he stuffed the black thing into his mouth, what was even more surprising was that the spicy and bitter taste was clearly a piece of ginger.
"Yue——"
[have! --prick! --guest! Ginger Assassin! ! ! ]
He subconsciously wanted to spit out the thing in his mouth, but Cheng Changgeng was still staring at him as if he was doing it on purpose, so Su Mian had no choice but to swallow the half-chewed piece of ginger.
Fortunately, there are not many dishes on the table today, only... five plates.
After the black ginger, Su Mian successfully ate chili peppers, star anise, bitter melon, and garlic cloves...
And after swallowing each time, he would forcefully hold back the tears in his eyes and maintain a familiar smile so as not to let the Dog Emperor notice anything unusual.
What he was thinking was:
[Even the dog emperor wouldn’t take away something this disgusting, so I absolutely cannot taste it alone! I want the dog emperor to be buried with me! ]
Cheng Changgeng stared at him after he finished eating, then looked away contentedly and picked up the chopsticks under Su Mian's expectant gaze.
He first moved the chopsticks above the plate of ginger. Su Mian's eyes lit up, but he moved them away again.
Then he moved it over the garlic cloves and moved it away again.
After repeating this five times, Cheng Changgeng put his chopsticks on the table and said with great regret: "Alas, I don't have a good appetite today, so these dishes should be removed."
Well, Su Mian could almost conclude that the Dog Emperor was deliberately tormenting him!
But he couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure out how he had offended the Dog Emperor?
[Could it be that the dog emperor is tired of it and doesn’t like Shen Ceqing’s charming hexagram? ]
[The food today is so bad, is it a hint for him to ask Concubine Qin to sleep with him? ]
What does this have to do with anything?
Listening to Su Mian's inner thoughts, Cheng Changgeng once again expressed his admiration for his train of thought.
"Su Mian."
Using physical means to interrupt Su Mian's divergent thoughts, Cheng Changgeng sat upright, looked at Su Mian and said coldly: "You dare to speculate on the emperor's will, do you know your sin!"
This scolding frightened Su Mian so much that his legs immediately went weak. Without hesitation, he fell to his knees, knocking his head and starting a brain storming process.
[The Dog Emperor was talking about me arranging for Shen Ceqing to meet him? ]
That makes sense.
Now that we know the reason, it’s time to show off.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I just feel sorry for Your Majesty. I have been so worried about the former court and the harem, so I want to share your worries."
"Wow, Your Majesty is in my heart and eyes. When Your Majesty is happy, I am happy. When Your Majesty is pleased, I am pleased. Your Majesty is the apple of my eye."
"If those masters cannot please Your Majesty, I will go and find someone more suitable for Your Majesty. Your Majesty, just tell me and I will make the arrangements."
These cries are so moving that who could remain unmoved?
"Oh, Eunuch Su is really wronged."
Cheng Changgeng looked at Su Mian with great interest. He found him lying on the ground like a little turtle, which was really funny.
"I am not wronged. Your Majesty, please give me your orders."
"OK."
Cheng Changgeng wanted to tease him again, and said casually: "I am indeed tired of the monotonous beauties in the harem recently. What I like now is someone who can talk and make me happy, who values money as his life and saves money for me, and who can eat and sleep like a pet. Do you have any candidates?"
[No, this request is too weird. What kind of taste does this dog emperor have... Where can I find such a person for him? ]
[Oh no, wait...]
When Cheng Changgeng heard this, he thought Su Mian would realize that he was pointing at him, but he overestimated Su Mian's self-awareness.
[Isn’t the emperor talking about Xiao Dezi’s master, whose surname is Jiang? ]
In Su Mian's opinion, Eunuch Jiang said one thing to one person and another thing to another person, was stingy and unwilling to give rewards, and was able to eat and sleep well.
[Dog Emperor has such a unique taste now? You like eunuchs...and you like Eunuch Jiang? ]
Eh~ Su Mian felt a little contempt for the dog emperor. After all, although the concubines in the harem who put on makeup were not acceptable to Su Mian, they were at least quite normal after getting to know them.
But that eunuch Jiang looked sloppy and there was something fishy about him.
It’s not that Su Mian judges people by their appearance, it’s just that Eunuch Jiang is too sloppy.
"Su Mian."
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but when Su Mian heard the Dog Emperor calling her, she seemed to be gritting her teeth.
"You have committed treason. Kneel beside my bed tonight and reflect on your mistakes. When you recognize your mistakes, you can go back."
[This damn dog emperor doesn’t let me have a big meal, and he also doesn’t let me sleep. wuwuwu. ]
Su Mian wanted to cry but had no tears, but Cheng Changgeng was no longer soft-hearted. He thought it was time for him to teach Su Mian a lesson, so that he would not get into trouble in the future and he would not be able to protect him.
No matter how unwilling Su Mian was, he still knelt obediently at the foot of Cheng Changgeng's bed at night. However, he was glad that the dog emperor did not ask him to help him bathe again.
Ever since the last incident, both of them have intentionally or unintentionally avoided bathing.
Generally speaking, there would be young eunuchs standing guard at the foot of the bed while the emperor rested, but the emperor's curtains would be drawn.
But today, after Su Mian helped Cheng Changgeng to go to bed, Cheng Changgeng refused to let Su Mian lower the curtains, and watched him extinguish the candle and kneel at the foot of the bed.
Su Mian pouted and was filled with resentment:
[What's the matter! And you have to supervise me to kneel! It’s so unfair! How can I be lazy! ]
