That mortal's birthday? "When?" Ming Cheya turned to Li Hui and asked.”
"Ten days later." Li Hui smiled lovingly. She looked at Ming Cheya and asked curiously," Little Ya, what gift do you want to give Little Four? Say it and aijia can give you ideas.”
Gift that mortal? Ming Cheya thought for a while but couldn't find anything. She could only shake her head at Li Hui to show that she didn't know.
"Then if you want to discuss with this widow, you can come to the palace to find this widow at any time, understand?”As he said that, he was about to take out a token and give it to her. However, when he thought about how Ming Cheya could enter and leave the palace as she pleased, he suddenly felt that the token had lost its meaning.
Just as he was about to say something and return the token, he saw Ming Cheya put the token somewhere and it disappeared. Then, he heard her say with a solemn expression,""Yes, alright."
Li Hui's heart melted into a ball when she saw how obedient Ming Cheya was. She wondered how there could be such an obedient child in the world!
On the other side, Chen Yuan and Chen Ke came to the study. Then, he saw his brother sitting on a chair with a solemn expression.
"Brother Wang, what happened?”Shen Yuan asked.
"Have you heard the rumors in the Imperial City?”
Hearing this, the corners of Chen Yuan's mouth curled up into a cold smile.""Of course."
"Then what do you think?" Chen Ke asked seriously.
"A bunch of clowns." Chen Yuan was disdainful and lowered his body to whisper in Chen Ke's ear.
Chen Ke's eyes lit up when she heard Chen Yuan's words. When Shen Yuan finished speaking, he laughed happily,""Well done, Little Four."
Chen Yuan smiled and said nothing.
"Now we just need to wait for the right time.”Chen Ke narrowed her eyes and said dangerously.
Now that the government was being suppressed by those old ministers, there was finally a chance to bring them down.
"The Heavenly Emperor Banquet will be held in ten days." Shen Yuan reminded," The barbarian envoys will come to see you.”
"Not bad." Chen Ke nodded in agreement.
"When you have time, come to the palace to see this widow, understand?”Li Hui tugged at Ming Cheya's arm with a reluctant expression.
Ming Cheya nodded to show that she understood. Then, she got into the carriage with Chen Yuan and left the palace.
"What did you say to Imperial Mother?" Chen Yuan looked at Ming Cheya curiously. He didn't understand why his mother was so reluctant to part with Xiao Die after such a short time.
Thinking about Li Hui's words about not telling mortals about the birthday present, Ming Cheya spat out two words,""It's a secret."
Seeing Ming Cheya's expression of not saying anything, Chen Yuan could only helplessly say,""Alright then."
The carriage fell into silence, but Ming Cheya remained motionless and focused on the Sunken Abyss. This made Shen Yuan curious and he asked,""Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Are you very close to your brother?"
Although he didn't know why Ming Cheya asked this question, Chen Yuan still nodded his head honestly and asked,""What's wrong?"
"His life is in danger recently." Ming Cheya spoke after a while.
Hearing this, Shen Yuan's eyes darkened. He suddenly remembered the pill that Ming Cheya had given to his brother. He hugged her and said emotionally,""Xiao Die, thank you."
In the past few days, the servants and guards in the Imperial Residence of King Jing could often see the woman in red holding a kettle and watering the enchanting red flowers with black water. At the same time, every time the flower came into contact with the water, it began to sway left and right. Some branches even extended to the side of the woman, clinging to her body and surrounding her.
When everyone saw the water and the scene, they were a little afraid, and they did not dare to approach the strange flower. At the same time, he was also very afraid of Ming Cheya. However, one thing changed everyone's mind.
On this day, Ming Cheya was watering Manjusaka with water from the Netherworld River as usual, feeling their joy. However, Ming Cheya was tired and wanted to go back to rest because she had been out for too long.
However, it was obvious that there was still a portion of Manjusaka in the corner that had not come into contact with the Netherworld River water. This gave Ming Cheya a headache.
All of a sudden, Ming Cheya saw a man from King Jing's Imperial Residence passing by with something in his hand. She immediately turned around and called out to him.
"Wait a minute."
Ah Ding had originally planned to send something to the kitchen today, but he didn't expect to see the Netherworld woman watering the demonic flower at this corner, just like a few days ago. Just as he was about to walk past silently, he was stopped, which made Ah Ding feel uneasy.
"Miss, is there anything I can do for you?”Ah Ding turned around and lowered his head. He grabbed the thing in his hand tightly and asked nervously.
The man in front of her lowered his head shyly like a woman. He didn't have any masculinity at all, which made Ming Cheya a little unhappy."Raise your head and speak."
Hearing the woman's even colder voice, Ah Ding felt a wave of fear in his heart. He immediately raised his head and said yes. At the same time, his eyes drifted to other places.
Ming Cheya looked at the man in front of her with satisfaction. She completely ignored his frightened expression and said in a slightly warmer tone,""What's your name?"
Ah Ding, who had thought that he would encounter something bad, heard the red-robed woman in front of him ask for his name. He was stunned for a moment before he slowly recovered and replied,"I'm called A'Ding."
"My name is Ming Cheya."
Hearing this, A'Ding's heart shook. He did not expect this red-clothed woman to exchange names with him like this. Just as he was about to raise his head and secretly size up this woman, she had already arrived beside him.
This made Ah Ding, who was about to raise his head, jump in fright and could not help but take a step back.
Ming Cheya teleported to A-Ding and handed him the water bottle. She said tiredly,""Ding, help me pour water on Red Spiderlily.”
Ah Ding looked at Ming Cheya's face. After hearing her words, he took the water bottle in a daze. But the moment he took it, Ah Ding regretted it.
How could he be so tempted by this woman's appearance? After all, that flower was very dangerous. Not only could it move, but it also seemed to have consciousness. It was said that the "begging for cleverness" had even defeated the highly skilled academician of the Star Plucking Academy that day.
Ming Cheya instantly sensed the uneasiness and fear in Ah Ding's heart. Although she didn't know what was so scary about Red Spiderlily, she still said,""You don't have any killing intent towards me, so Red Spiderlily won't attack you. On the contrary, if you watered them, they would thank you. Then, thank you, Ah Ding."
By the time A-Ding regained his senses, Ming Cheya was no longer in front of him. Ming Cheya's " Thank you, Ah Ding " echoed in the air. This touched Ah Ding. It was the first time he had heard someone from above thank a servant like him.
Therefore, in order to live up to Ming Cheya's words of thanks, Ah Ding decided to give up. Putting down the things in her hands, she plucked up her courage and slowly walked to Red Spiderlily's side with the water bottle.
In the beginning, Ah Ding was still filled with fear. However, when he saw that the flowers did not attack him, he was much more relieved. He began to water them with a watering can.
All of a sudden, Ah Ding saw the flower, which had been completely still, react the way it did when Ming Cheya was around. It began to shake its head and extended a branch in front of Ah Ding, gently rubbing his cheek.
At that moment, it was as if many voices of gratitude surged into Ah Ding's mind. This caused Ah Ding, whose body was originally stiff, to open his eyes wide and look at the flower in front of him with a surprised expression.
Then, the branch of Red Spiderlily touched Ah Ding's cheek again.
This time, words appeared in Ah Ding's mind again, indicating for him to move forward and change places to water them.
Just like that, Ah Ding sighed and listened to Red Spiderlily's instructions to water them. After a short while, words of thanks and " Alright, alright " rang out in Ah Ding's head.
Seeing this, Ah Ding put down the kettle in his hand and picked up the things on the ground. He smiled and said to Red Spiderlily,""Then I'll be leaving."
This time, there were no more words in his mind, which made Ah Ding feel a little disappointed. But at this moment, Ah Ding's heart was beating very fast. He felt that it was necessary to tell the others in the residence about this.
He told everyone that the flower and the woman in red weren't scary.
After that, Chen Yuan was surprised to find that everyone in the residence had become friendlier towards Ming Cheya and Manjusaka. Some of them even began to boldly approach Red Spiderlily. Some of them would take the initiative to greet Ming Cheya when they saw her watering Red Spiderlily outside. Sometimes, they would even take the initiative to ask Ming Cheya to water Red Spiderlily.
Of course, the person who started this was Ah Ding. In the beginning, everyone did not believe it, but after seeing Ah Ding approach Hua Wushi and his usual conversation with the red-clothed woman, they gradually began to believe it.
Then, the curious Chen Yuan heard the butler Hongye's narration and completely understood the whole story.
Chen Yuan smiled and didn't say anything. After a while, he said to Hongye with a dark face,""Prepare all the evidence for the Heavenly Emperor Banquet ten days later.”
Hongye's face tightened when he heard that. He replied solemnly,""Yes, Your Highness. This subordinate will go and prepare it now."
At night, in Sunken Abyss's room. As usual, Ming Cheya was lying on the bed with her clothes on. Chen Yuan was reading a book at the side.
The room was quiet and warm.
Suddenly, Ming Cheya heard a voice from Red Spiderlily. Then, one of the branches of Red Spiderlily climbed in from the edge of the window. It reached Ming Cheya's side and handed her what it had brought in.
Ming Cheya caressed the branches of Red Spiderlily and said in a low voice,""Well done."
Red Spiderlily happily rubbed against Ming Cheya's palm and slowly left the room.
Ming Cheya handed the clean piece of paper to Shen Yuan, who was watching everything curiously.
Chen Yuan smiled, put down the book in his hand, and took it. After opening the paper and reading it for a while, his face immediately darkened. The letter in his hand was written in his own handwriting. It was about the deal with the barbarians to overthrow Chenke and make him the emperor.
Chen Yuan put the letter in his hand aside and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face. Those old ministers were actually preparing to charge him with treason.
