Long Sha appeared from the darkness and looked at Mo Ranran who was leaning on the bed. He concealed the news of Mo Feiye's serious injuries, ”Eldest Miss, Master is fine.”
”Really?” Mo Ranran raised his eyes slightly, and his voice carried a trace of doubt.
Long Sha narrowed his eyes, and did not look at Mo Ranran, ”This subordinate does not dare to speak nonsense.”
”Where is he? I want to see him. ” Mo Ranran's eyes slightly flashed, and her voice was faint.
”Master will only return to the capital in a few days.” Long Sha was stumped by the question, and only opened his mouth after a long while.
Mo Ranran's pupils contracted, wasn't Mo Feiye in the capital?
”Help me relay a message to him, I'll be waiting for him in the capital.” Mo Ranran's eyes drooped slightly, and she did not continue asking.
”I will pass it on to Master.” The sound of footsteps came from outside the door, someone was approaching the Imperial Hospital, Long Sha hid in the darkness.
Mo Ranran thought that Zhang Heng and Niu Niu had returned, and opened his mouth as he turned his head, ”Why are you back … ”Your majesty?” When he saw that the person who had arrived was the Emperor, he was stunned. A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes.
When Xia Qiu, the palace maid who was following beside the Emperor, saw that Mo Ranran actually did not kneel, he could not help but exclaim, ”How dare you, seeing that the Emperor is still not kneeling!”
Mo Ranran frowned, before she could say anything, the emperor was already the first to speak, ”You do not have the right to speak here, step down!”
”Your Majesty …” Xia Qiu still wanted to say something.
”Step down.” This time, there was a hint of anger in his words. Xia Qiu glanced at the emperor, then slowly withdrew himself.
After the palace eunuch left, the room fell into a deathly silence.
”I heard that you've been infected with a Gu.” The deathly silence didn't last for long before it was broken by the Emperor.
”Yes.” Mo Ranran looked at the Emperor, and replied indifferently.
”Your brother …” The Emperor looked at Mo Ranran's bloodless face and thought of the missing Mo Feiye. His eyes that were filled with authority flashed and just as he was about to speak, the door was pushed open.
”This lowly general pays his respects to Your Majesty.” Zhang Heng bowed towards the Emperor.
Niu Niu blinked her eyes and followed Zhang Heng's example to pay her respects.
”Get up.” The emperor glanced at the two of them and told them to get up.
Zhang Heng stood up and placed the breakfast on the table. As he passed by the Emperor, his eyes faintly flashed.
Why would the emperor come here? Could it be that he was interested in Mo Ranran?
Zhang Heng was shocked by his own thoughts, and when he looked at the Emperor again, his eyes carried a trace of wariness.
The emperor's gaze fell on Niu Niu, and did not notice any change in Zhang Heng's eyes.
”Is this the girl you saved who can't speak?” The Emperor reached out to touch Niu Niu.
The originally obedient Niuniu suddenly revealed a ruthless expression. She bit the emperor's hand, causing blood to flow out.
The emperor didn't expect Niu Niu to bite him. He sucked in a breath and pulled his hand away.
A row of teeth marks appeared on his palm and palm.
Niu Niu finished biting and ran over to Mo Ranran's side.
Mo Ranran hugged her and comforted the frightened Niu Niu, ”Don't be afraid, Uncle Emperor is a good person.”
”Your Majesty, please forgive me. Niu Niu did not intend to harm Your Majesty. She is only very resistant to the living.” Zhang Heng apologized to the Emperor.
In his heart, he felt that Niu Niu had bit too lightly. She should bite even more viciously, making him think of the Miss Mo.
Miss Mo could already be his daughter at his age.
”Since you have nothing to do, you can have your meal. This Emperor will be leaving first.” The emperor shook his bitten hand and left the room with an unsightly expression, returning to his own bedroom.
Chief Eunuch treated the emperor's wound and looked at the row of teeth marks. He probed, ”Your majesty, which palace's servant bit this wound? This bite is too vicious.”
”We went to see Mo Ranran, it was the little girl beside her who bit him.” He had not been injured for so many years, but today, he was bitten by a little wild girl. He felt somewhat unhappy.
”Do you want this servant to deal with her?” Chief Eunuch said as he looked at the emperor's face.
”It was just a bite, forget it.” The Emperor's voice was calm.
The little girl was very protective of that little girl, he didn't want to be hated by her.
”Your majesty, the bandage is done.” Having served the Emperor for so long, the Chief Eunuch only needed to guess a little before guessing the reason the Emperor would not pursue the matter. It looks like this Miss Mo cannot be offended again in the future.
Outside, Xia Qiu looked at the tightly shut quarters. The emperor probably wouldn't be coming out for a while.
Xia Qiu's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the eunuch guarding the door.
”You two stay here and guard it. Don't let anyone else who isn't related to you come near.” After Xia Qiu finished speaking, he left on his own and walked towards the empress's residence.
”It's just that with the protection of the empress, there's no need to act so arrogantly and love to offend people. Be careful of going back at night and getting yourself killed on the way.” Xia Qiu was someone within the empress dowager's palace and had only recently been sent to the emperor's side to take care of him.
One day, when she was in a hurry, she would take advantage of the darkness to secretly kill her.
As long as she was not discovered, no matter how much the empress liked this palace maid, she would only suffer this loss.
After all, too many people died every day in the palace. 90% of those who suddenly disappeared were already dead.
”Lower your voice. Be careful that you are being heard by others, I'll give you some trouble.”
