Chapter 219 Look at the Little Tree
At night, the wind finally blew.
A eunuch came to the Ministry of Punishment carrying a food box.
"The meal was delivered so late today." The guard complained.
The eunuch lowered his head, so his face could not be seen clearly. He only responded in a low voice. The guard felt something was wrong and stared at him: "Why haven't I seen you before? Where is the eunuch Wang who brought the food?"
The eunuch lowered his head and said, "Eunuch Wang is ill, so I am here to serve him food."
The guard narrowed his eyes, feeling that something was wrong. At this time, Jiang Sheng came and frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
The guard pointed at the eunuch who was delivering the food and said, "The person delivering the food has been replaced. They said that Eunuch Wang is ill."
Jiang Sheng stared at the eunuch, who became nervous and said tremblingly, "Eunuch Wang asked me to help deliver the food."
Jiang Sheng walked forward and was about to take a look at the man when he suddenly went berserk, pushed Jiang Sheng away and ran away.
"Chase."
Everyone chased after him.
However, a person sneaked into the Ministry of Punishment, walked quickly towards the innermost part, and soon arrived at the door of Nanny Chang's cell.
Nanny Chang was lying on the straw pile, seemingly asleep.
"Xiao Yu." He called out, but Nanny Chang did not respond. His eyes darkened, he took the key from the unconscious guard and opened the door.
He wanted to turn Madam Chang over, but he only got her head...
"Xiao Yu." He roared in pain, but at this time, a large group of people rushed in and surrounded him.
Jiang Sheng walked out slowly from behind the crowd and looked at the person holding Nanny Chang's head.
"It's you."
…
Baohua Temple.
The emperor had been staring at the dish in front of him for a long time.
[Why do we need something like yam…]
【First place in the choking contest. 】
[Besides, this thing looks so disgusting when it's not peeled, I don't want to eat it at all. ]
He looked up and saw Anjiu, narrowed his eyes, and said to Anjiu: "Xiaojiu, come here and eat."
An Jiu looked at him in confusion.
The emperor frowned.
An Jiu could only come over and sit down to eat with him. She loved the mushrooms here, they were especially delicious. As for the yam...
If the emperor doesn't eat it, she won't eat it either.
The emperor gave her a piece of food with chopsticks and said, "You eat it."
An Jiu "..."
To be honest, the vegetarian dishes in the temple are quite good. This yam... after peeling and cutting it into pieces, it is not so ugly anymore and is quite delicious. However, the emperor's divergent thinking is powerful, and the stereo surrounds the room, which causes Anjiu to eat it with the emperor's imagination in his ears...
The emperor seemed to particularly like watching An Jiu eat. Every time she took a bite, he would pick up a piece of food for her.
"Eat more. You're losing weight."
Seeing his serious look, An Jiu wanted to put the plate on his head and tell him: Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, you bastard.
She finished the meal in just a few bites.
"Your Majesty, I am full."
The emperor felt a little regretful: "How can you be full after eating so little?"
An Jiu "..."
The temple was lit up everywhere, and it looked particularly beautiful in the dark.
The emperor said he wanted to take An Jiu to watch the sunrise.
But it's still early in the morning.
The tyrant is coming at night.
So it’s hard to say who it will be when daybreak comes.
"Let's watch the sunrise tomorrow. That idiot must fall asleep before daybreak." said the emperor.
An Jiu nodded and then shook his head.
She couldn't do it. She had experienced how difficult tyrants were to deal with, and she had no way to deal with them once their stubborn tempers flared up.
The emperor frowned.
[Anyway, I must watch it. ]
【At worst, I won’t sleep. 】
He sat there in a sullen manner, staring at An Jiu.
An Jiu thought he was really funny, and suddenly had an idea: "Your Majesty, let me tell you a story."
The emperor looked at her warily: "What story?"
“The story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.”
An Jiu had only said a few words when the emperor stopped her: "What is this? A poor bachelor peeping at a girl bathing and stealing her clothes?"
An Jiu "..."
"Okay, the story of the snail girl..."
The emperor stopped him and said, "What kind of wretched man is this?"
Who can be more lewd than you???
An Jiu thought about it and decided to tell the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, which he had first told the tyrant.
The emperor frowned and said, "I think I've heard this somewhere before. Keep going."
But before Anjiu finished his story, the emperor fell asleep.
An Jiu looked at him, feeling a little conflicted. The emperor was asleep, so should she sleep?
Late at night, candlelight flickers.
The tyrant patted the sleeping Anjiu.
An Jiu was sleeping soundly, but she felt annoyed when she saw his face, so she turned over and continued to sleep.
But the tyrant came up to her and said, "Xiaojiu, look at the little tree."
An Jiu ignored it.
So for the rest of the time, there was only one voice left in the room.
[Look at the little tree, look at the little tree, look at the little tree, look at the little tree…]
Just like a tape recorder, it repeats over and over again.
An Jiu was woken up by the noise.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the tyrant with deep resentment.
The tyrant jumped in front of her happily: "Xiaojiu, look at the little tree."
What can An Jiu do?
She put on her clothes, and considering the strong wind on the mountain, she also put one on the tyrant and put a hat on him.
The tyrant was reluctant, but he didn't take it down. He dragged Anjiu out of the house and was about to look for the little tree when he was attracted by the Buddha statue in the temple. He walked in, stared at the golden body of the Buddha for a while, and suddenly jumped onto the altar to pull out the head of the Buddha statue...
An Jiu was shocked.
"Don't move."
The tyrant stood and looked at her.
An Jiu asked: "What are you doing?"
The tyrant pointed at the Buddha statue and said in a sneaky way: "Xiaojiu, this is made of gold. It is very valuable."
An Jiu didn’t know whether the Buddha statue was made of pure gold or gold-plated, but no matter what it was, he couldn’t take it.
"Don't move, get down here."
The tyrant frowned, and it was obvious that the naughty kid really wanted to try it.
"Come down." An Jiu said again.
The tyrant came down reluctantly, took some of the tribute and ate it, and gave one to Anjiu. Anjiu didn't dare to eat it, fearing that the Buddha would blame him.
However, the tyrant did not think so much. He completely forgot to look at the little tree. He walked from hall to hall, and finally they met the abbot who had not yet gone to bed.
"Your Majesty, why have you come here so late at night?" the abbot asked anxiously.
The tyrant stared at him coldly.
[It's blocking the way.]
He looked at the abbot impatiently.
【Get out of the way.】
The abbot looked at him in confusion.
Why did the emperor look at him like that?
It’s really scary…
The tyrant lost his patience. He pushed the abbot away with a cold face and left.
The abbot was pushed against the wall, too frightened to breathe, and he thought that he must have angered the emperor by not wanting to hand over the land during the day.
He was just an abbot, and the Baohua Temple was full of monks. How could he fight against the emperor?
If I had known earlier, I would have given it to them. It’s just 500 acres of land, which is enough for their annual incense money.
But if you anger the emperor, you might lose everything.
The more the abbot thought about it, the more frightened he became.
After the tyrant walked for a while, he found that Anjiu had not caught up with him, so he turned back and quickly found Anjiu.
"Your Majesty, let's go back." An Jiu looked at the dark forest and didn't want to go.
It was late at night and she just wanted to sleep. She didn't want to watch the little tree with the little boy, nor did she want to watch the sunrise with the older boy.
However, the little boy was in high spirits. He ran outside holding Anjiu in his arms.
"Xiaojiu, go look at the little tree."
An Jiu "..."
