What’s a small glass of water? Give me ten glasses and I can drink them all.
I muttered in my heart but didn't say it out loud, but his sharp eyes seemed to know what I was thinking, and he looked at me with a chuckle.
"Do you want to drink again?"
I nodded as if I wanted it, and he continued to pour me water.
If you don't drink the water when the emperor comes, it's for nothing. Since he thought of it, he will go there!
"Are you treating me like a slave?"
It was like a roundworm in my stomach. After he poured the second glass of water and came back, he said to me with some dissatisfaction.
I frowned and didn't dare to pick up the second glass of water, so I said, "I don't dare."
After drinking a small glass of water, my throat became much smoother and I could speak more freely, but it was still slightly hoarse.
"Don't you dare? You even dare to do it to me. Is there anything else you dare not do? Come on, drink this cup too. If you are still thirsty, I will pour it for you."
What he said was very generous and generous, which made me a little flattered.
"Did the Emperor take the wrong medicine today?"
I finished the second glass of water he handed me and the words of inquiry came out of my mouth.
Actually, I asked myself this in my mind, but I didn’t know how I said it out loud.
"What did you say?"
Ouyang Shaoqing looked at me with sinister eyes, which scared me so much that I didn't dare to look up.
As you can imagine, he was angry.
"I made a mistake—"
I apologize, but I dare not confront him head-on. He is the emperor, and I am just an ordinary person like an ant. I cannot afford to offend him.
He didn't speak, and I was trembling. After a while, I heard him say, "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again!"
Say it again? How is that possible?
Regardless of whether he really didn't hear clearly, I didn't dare to say it again.
"I just feel that there is something different about the emperor today——"
"How is it different?"
He asked, and I replied: "Well - Your Majesty seems to be much gentler today -"
He came closer to me and scared me. When I looked up, I saw his charming and evil handsome face.
"You mean, I'm not gentle?"
I didn't know how to answer his question. I frowned subconsciously, thinking about how to answer, but then I heard him say again: "Are my words so difficult for you to answer? Or do you like my gentleness?"
Everyone likes gentleness, but the unstable gentleness is not liked by people, and makes people think it is just scary.
"Isn't the Emperor busy?"
I didn't want to have too many ambiguous conversations with Ouyang Shaoqing, so I deliberately changed the subject.
He didn't ask any more questions and just said: "I'm not busy."
He even said he wasn't busy anymore, and I didn't know what to say, but I didn't want to go back to the previous question and was searching in my mind for what to say.
Suddenly I found a topic, so I opened my mouth and asked, "Isn't the emperor of Chaoxi Kingdom here? Doesn't the emperor need to accompany the distinguished guests?"
He shook his head and said: "The distinguished guest has left, how can I accompany him?"
"gone?"
I was slightly shocked and somewhat disbelief in what Ouyang Shaoqing said.
How long have I been in a coma? Why don’t I even know why Dongfang Ao left?
"Well, you were in a coma for two days, and Emperor Xi left when you got up early. What's the matter? I'm sorry that I didn't see Emperor Xi for the last time?"
His sharp eyes and mocking look made me feel like a thorn in my back.
I didn’t know if he was testing me or something, so I twitched the corner of my mouth and replied: "How - how could -"
