Steel Dynasty - Chapter 18

[Chapter 18 Heart-to-heart talk at night]

dim candlelight flickered, illuminating a small space.

Outside the dormitory, the night was as dark as ink, which always gave people an indescribable feeling of terror.

On nights like this, it’s always easy to think of scary stories about old ladies scaring children.

Seeing that Zi Yuan didn’t answer, Xiao Ming called out twice more, but the person under the quilt still didn’t respond, which made Xiao Ming have random thoughts.

He has traveled through time, and there are many ghosts and gods in ancient times, especially in such an environment. It is more like a TV series than a TV series.

“Zi Wan, don’t scare me, otherwise I will be rude.” Xiao Ming’s voice was trembling. He was not afraid of this person, he was just afraid of these strange powers that could mess up the gods.

The suffocating silence in the bedroom answered him.

Xiao Ming was no longer calm now. There must be someone bulging under the quilt, not a ghost. What if it was an assassin?

It hadn’t been a few days since the assassination happened.

Although Xiao Ming came to this world as a prince, inside, he was still lonely and scared.

This is a normal emotion for a person to face a completely unfamiliar environment.

“Dafu!” Xiao Ming still chose not to get close, for the sake of his own safety.

“Here we come!” The shout came just in time. Qian Dafu ran in quickly, “Your Highness, what’s wrong with you?”

In his memory, the only person Xiao Ming believed in was Qian Dafu. He pointed to his bed and said “Go, lift the quilt and see what’s hidden inside?”

Qian Dafu said strangely: “Your Highness, of course there’s Aster inside. Didn’t you ask her to warm your quilt? This girl knows that today She was overstepping her bounds and didn’t dare to disobey

His Highness’s orders. “Really? Then why didn’t she dare to answer my words?” Xiao Ming was a little angry, which frightened him.

Qian Dafu said: “Your Highness, these Aster and Lulu have always been close to the empress before. I have never encountered this warm quilt thing before. This is the first time I am inevitably a little nervous.”

Xiao Ming frowned, but then One that made him worry-free. He said to Qian Dafu: “Go, let her go back. It’s really annoying to me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a sobbing sound suddenly came from the bed, and then Aster lifted up She cried and said: “Your Highness, Zi Yuan knew that she was wrong. She shouldn’t have angered His Highness by being clever today. But Zi Wan did this for the sake of His Highness’s reputation, so as to save those servants from gossiping. If Pang Chang is in full view again If Shi knows about it, he will definitely report it to His Highness again. I am afraid that the Queen’s request to the President for marriage next year will be delayed again. “

“That’s right, Your Highness.” Qian Dafu sighed, “It is the Queen who misses His Highness the most in Chang’an. , I hope Your Highness will think of you with all your heart.”

Speaking of Concubine Zhen, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a little bitter. He had to say that Xiao Ming was no longer a thing. Concubine Zhen always loved him very much. Every time Xiao Ming made a mistake, Concubine Zhen would always do it. She endured Xiao Wenxuan’s scolding but still wanted to intercede for him.

“Hmph, that’s it, you all go out. I’m just warning you, you have to use your wisdom in the right place, understand?” Xiao Ming said to Zi Wan.

Aster Yingying bowed happily, and the pear blossoms brought rain, “Yes, Your Highness, Aster has remembered it, and I won’t dare to do it again next time.”

Qian Dafu glared at Aster, “If you don’t leave, you will make His Highness angry.”

Aster wiped Wiping his tears, he bowed again and disappeared into the night.

Xiao Ming said to Qian Dafu at this time: “You guys, come together to deal with me, do you think I can’t see it?”

“Hey, your highness is wise, I know I can’t hide it from you, but your highness really has to think about the empress. , Now the emperor’s health is getting worse and worse. If the emperor returns on a crane, the empress will no longer be helpless in the palace. If someone mentions the matter of burial at that time, the empress…” At this point, Qian Dafu’s eyes were slightly red, and he seemed extremely worried.

“Who dares!” Xiao Ming’s heart burst out with anger, which seemed to have touched the most painful thread in his memory.

When emperors of all dynasties died, concubines would be buried at the expense of others. At that time, the mother was more valuable than her son, and the victims would basically be among the concubines who had no support.

Qian Dafu continued: “Your Highness, I have a lot to say today. Since Your Highness became seriously ill, I have seen that Your Highness has made a lot of progress. Originally, I was already in despair. When the Queen went, I also followed. But now I believe that Your Highness can turn the crisis into peace. As long as Your Highness works diligently and loves the people, and makes the land prosperous, no matter who ascends the throne at that time, he will weigh your weight.”

Xiao Ming nodded, Qian Dafu said. Sincerity can be said to be spoken from the bottom of one’s heart. Now that he occupies Xiao Ming’s body, he is Xiao Ming. Because he came to this world, he belongs to this world.

Qian Dafu’s words suddenly made him realize this. There are still people in this world who need him, and there are people who he needs.

“I understand your hard work. When I was ill, I also regretted my past dissolute behavior. I will never be like before in the future.” Xiao Ming said solemnly to Qian Dafu.

“Your Highness!” Qian Dafu had tears rolling in his eyes.

Xiao Ming smiled and patted his shoulder. The current Qian Dafu probably felt as if the thousand-year-old iron tree had blossomed, but in this way, Xiao Ming could be his true self.

After staring at Qian Dafu, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a little strange. He only remembered that Qian Dafu had been following Concubine Zhen since Xiao Ming was born, and in his opinion, Qian Dafu’s loyalty to Concubine Zhen seemed to be excessive.

He couldn’t help but ask: “Dafu, why are you so sincere to us, mother and son?”

Xiao Ming asked this, completely worried that Concubine Zhen was a cuckold by Xiao Wenxuan, and was afraid that one day Qian Dafu would suddenly cry to him Say, I am your father.

After being startled for a moment, Qian Dafu said: “Your Highness, my father was framed for writing a poem that satirized the current Holy Emperor. If the empress had not interceded, I would have killed the whole family instead of being made into slaves. At that time, I was I was sent to the palace, where I was often bullied by the young eunuchs, but my mother placed me next to me.”

Xiao Ming almost blurted out “eunuch”, but now he understood.

“How come every dynasty has a literary prison?” Xiao Ming muttered, and he said: “I see, one day, I will definitely vindicate your family.”

“Old slave, thank you, Your Highness.” Qian Dafu looked excited and knelt down. .

“You and I, master and servant, are working together. How can I say thank you and say, get up? I have an important matter for you.”

Now he was completely relieved about Qian Dafu.
