"What?"
When Zhong Min heard this, his mind suddenly exploded, and at the same time, a rage burned uncontrollably in his chest, and it seemed like it was about to explode at any moment.
She simply couldn't believe that Xiao Mingzheng could be so vulgar, despicable, and shameless, yet still speak such disgusting, filthy, and despicable words so calmly and naturally, as if it were nothing more than normal! For a moment, countless derogatory words, as long as she could think of them, all entered her mind, gathering together, ready to rush out and ruthlessly smash this shameless and shameless person to death.
This was too much. What did she take her for? She wasn't one of those women in his back garden, nor was she some prostitute in a brothel to be sold at will! She was the elite of the 21st century, a highly educated professional with exceptional talent. Screw you bastard princes, screw you emperors and generals! Anyone who dared to force themselves on her would be rendered childless and incapable of life forever!
"You fucking..." Her head was hot and the blood seemed to flow backwards. Zhong Min's face turned black and she started cursing. At the same time, Xiao Mingzheng, who she identified as shameless, dirty and despicable, spoke almost at the same time.
"You sleep on the bed, I'll rest on the recliner." Xiao Mingzheng said as he looked at Zhong Min, whose mouth was wide open, the words stuck in his throat and his face was full of annoyance. "What's the matter? What did you want to say just now?"
"No, nothing!" Zhong Min was like a person who was on fire and then someone poured a large basin of cold water on his head. He almost turned to stone.
Seeing Xiao Mingzheng's inexplicable look, she felt a surge of guilt, and for a moment, she felt extremely guilty. After a while, she finally found her voice again and laughed awkwardly, "I was trying to say, you... you're too annoying, too troublesome."
You fucking... You're so annoying, so troublesome... Zhong Min's brain was pretty quick, and she found a similar word to fill in the blanks. Anyway, in ancient times people used to curse their mothers, not their moms, so Xiao Mingzheng probably wouldn't think that she was cursing someone.
At this moment, Zhong Min was truly ashamed. She had actually misunderstood Xiao Mingzheng's intentions and had truly misjudged him. She breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thankful that she hadn't had time to curse him out before, otherwise she really didn't know how this would end.
The man gave up his bed to her with good intentions, but she mistakenly thought he had bad intentions and thought of her as an unforgivable and shameless villain. If Xiao Mingzheng really heard all the curses she didn't say, he would probably be so angry that his nose would be crooked, and perhaps he would even want to kill her.
"Too troublesome? What's the trouble?" Xiao Mingzheng saw that Zhong Min's expression changed so much. The last moment she looked as if she wanted to eat him alive, and the next moment she was like a frosted eggplant. When he thought about what he said when her expression changed, he suddenly understood everything in his heart.
I'm afraid that he asked her to go to bed before, and this woman got the wrong idea. Looking at her expression before, she was most likely ready to scold him, but it was just when he said something else that she realized it was a misunderstanding, so she naturally swallowed the curse back.
If he had heard correctly, Zhong Min had clearly said something like "you fucking!" But what did "you fucking" mean? He had never heard of a curse word starting with that. Thinking of this, Xiao Mingzheng couldn't help but frown. This woman was really bold. She even dared to curse him. He wondered what else she wouldn't dare to do.
Seeing Xiao Mingzheng frown slightly, as if on a whim, Zhong Min worried he might be overthinking things. She suddenly remembered that she'd once told her that "mother" meant "mother." So she quickly shook her head and said with a smile, "No, no, no, I meant to say, Your Highness, just rest assured. You're a respected person, so how could I let you suffer on the couch? Of course, I'll go, I'll go!"
Having said that, without waiting for Xiao Mingzheng's response, she grabbed the thin blanket in her hand and rushed out of the bead curtain as if escaping for her life. Then she quickly sat down on the couch, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. The whole action was done in one go without any hesitation. It was obvious that she didn't want to discuss the previous topic with Xiao Mingzheng anymore, so as to avoid any more trouble.
Seeing this, Xiao Mingzheng couldn't help but smile, and then said nothing more. Judging from Zhong Min's expression, she was probably afraid of his questioning. Forget it, he didn't want to make her too uneasy. After all, she had suffered a lot throughout the day, so it would be better for her to rest more.
The room gradually became quiet. Zhong Min quietly opened his eyes and looked inside. Seeing that Xiao Mingzheng seemed to have fallen asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
She had been too impulsive in what had just happened. She'd been uncontrollably trying to hit back before she'd even finished listening, completely losing her usual composure. Zhong Min reflected internally that she'd been acting rather unprofessionally lately, especially when she was alone with Xiao Mingzheng. Her composure had completely vanished.
This is not good, it is really a dangerous warning. It seems that she must be more calm and careful in the future, and must not let anyone affect her mood.
Keep a normal mind, keep a normal mind. It is good to keep a normal mind at all times, no matter who it is or what it is! Zhong Min secretly warned herself that she must maintain the normal mind that she has always been proud of.
She didn't know how long it had been, but she finally fell asleep with fatigue from the day. Just as Zhou You was dreaming, Xiao Mingzheng on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.
He got up from the bed silently and walked slowly to the recliner. Zhong Min in front of him was sleeping soundly. He must have been very tired. Occasionally, he would even make a few light snoring sounds.
She curled up on her side, her cheeks slightly flushed from sleep. Perhaps she was dreaming of something delicious, but her lips opened slightly, and then a satisfied smile appeared on her face. Her thick eyelashes trembled occasionally, making her look very cute.
Although it wasn't the first time Xiao Mingzheng had seen Zhong Min asleep, he was still a little stunned, and his heart felt as if something had been wrapped around him, soft and warm. After a while, he finally came to his senses, smiled, and gently pulled the thin blanket that had slipped off Zhong Min's body a little further, covering her up. Then he turned around and returned to bed to rest.
In the middle of the night, Zhong Min was suddenly awakened by the sound of fighting. She stood up from the recliner, but couldn't help but cry out.
"What's the matter?" At the same time, Xiao Mingzheng also woke up and was listening to the noise outside, but his attention was distracted by Zhong Min's sudden cry of "ouch".
Seeing Xiao Mingzheng coming towards her quickly, Zhong Min quickly shook her head and explained, "It's okay, it's okay, my hands and feet are just a little numb."
As she spoke, she sat down again, carefully moving her arms and legs to relieve the numbness. This recliner wasn't a comfortable place to be. If she slept on it for another two hours, her whole body would be numb.
Hearing that it was his hands and feet that were numb, Xiao Mingzheng finally felt relieved: "Just move slowly, it will be fine in a while."
"Hmm!" Zhong Min casually replied, then looked towards the door and said, "As expected, someone really can't hold back tonight. Luckily, they changed their rooms in advance. Judging from the noise, he must be a top-notch expert. I wonder if Brother Xie and the others can capture him."
"Just wait, the outcome will be known soon!" Xiao Mingzheng sat down on a chair beside him, looking as steady as a rock, without any worry at all.
This was a good thing. With this commotion, the capital government would surely send someone over after daybreak. They would then be forced to intervene even if they didn't want to, and this would at least help to make those with ill intentions restrain themselves a little. After the Empress Dowager's birthday the day after tomorrow, Luo Jiaxing's urgent report should have reached the Emperor. All that was left was to wait and see how those people performed on their way back.
Seeing this, Zhong Min nodded and sat there stretching her arms and legs. She was not too worried. Everything was well prepared. If the assassins missed their target and were discovered, they would naturally have no time or energy to look for a new target. At most, they would just get away, but it would at least let them know that a successful assassination is not so easy.
Not long after, the noise outside gradually died down, and soon, the secret guard who was hiding outside the house knocked on the door and walked in.
"Your Highness, the danger has been resolved. Please rest assured. Commander Xie is leading his men to deal with the aftermath and will report back with details shortly."
After hearing this, Xiao Mingzheng didn't say anything, but just nodded to indicate that he understood. After the secret guard finished reporting, he retreated again and lurked in the night.
After a while, Xie Feng finally came in and reported directly to Xiao Mingzheng, "Your Highness, there were five assassins who attacked at night. They were all very skilled and headed straight for the bedroom where Your Highness had previously stayed. Fortunately, Your Highness had already changed rooms, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous. I was incompetent. I led my brothers to guard there, but in the end, I only killed two of the assassins. The others escaped. Please punish me, Your Highness!"
"It's already very good. Those who can be sent here are not ordinary people. How are the casualties of the guards?" Xiao Mingzheng did not blame them at all, but was concerned about the casualties.
"One died, and five were injured." Xie Feng said truthfully, "Two of them were seriously injured, but the other three weren't injured in vital areas. I've already sent for medical attention."
"Give the dead a proper burial, and make sure their families are properly accommodated upon our return. Don't let them feel disheartened!" Xiao Mingzheng added, "As for the injured, no matter the cost, they must be treated well."
"I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
Just as he finished speaking, a secret guard came in quickly to report: "Your Highness, this is bad! A large number of soldiers have forced their way in and injured many servants in the mansion!"
