Chapter 156: Feel sorry for yourself
"Young man, you don't seem to be very happy. β
Zhan Tao nodded his chin slightly, "You keep saying that I look like so-and-so, which is not worth being happy for me." β
"I'll take you to meet someone. The woman suddenly proposed.
"What person?" Zhan Tao found it difficult to keep up with the woman's thinking, this jumping, illogical thinking.
"A nice and nice old man. β
Leaving the pavilion, the woman seemed to be familiar with everything here, and thought she had been staying there for a long time. From the beginning of the woman's appearance, Zhan Tao was guessing her identity, judging from the clothes and accessories, she didn't look like an ordinary person. Combined with the woman's appearance and age, Zhan Tao felt that the possibility of a concubine was relatively high. The group walked into the main hall of the dormitory, and the abnormal thing was that there were very few maids inside, and the surrounding silence was terrible, not like a place for the living, but like entering a mausoleum.
When the woman led the way, the maids stopped what they were doing and bowed respectfully, which indirectly confirmed Zhantao's idea that the woman had a high status. Walking up the stairs through the main hall to the second floor, the woman gently pushed open a door, and seeing her movements, Zhan Tao couldn't help but think that the woman was going to show him, it couldn't be the one who the woman wanted to show him, right?
It was a very comfortable bed just by looking at it, the bed was very large, it was estimated that the four people would not look crowded, the mattress was very soft, and the old man on the bed was very peaceful. Like most old people, his figure is out of shape, with a big belly, and many wrinkles on his face are like a knife carving. What caught Zhantao's attention was that the old man had almost no hair, and his bare head was bare, with only a few sparse strands of support for the faΓ§ade. When the old man was asleep, the group deliberately silenced, so he did not wake up.
The woman stood beside the bed, quietly looking at the old man on the bed, her eyes long and loving. Some people say that the love between husband and wife will wear out over time, and what breeds with it is family affection and a sense of responsibility. However, Zhan Tao found that the love in the woman's eyes was still strong, and there was a sense of a girl's insistence. If she acts, then her acting skills are too good.
The incense burner was burning, the sandalwood was overflowing, and the woman didn't know how long she looked at the old man, until the old man woke up, and the two looked at each other tacitly and smiled, and there was still half a point of shyness in the smile. The woman said, "You must recuperate from your sickness, but you like to be lively, so I brought two young men with me, and you are very happy to think of you." β
The old man was seriously ill, not only could he not move, but he also had difficulty speaking, he moved his gaze to Zhantao's face, and blinked as a greeting. Zhan Tao nodded and smiled, and Mu Xiaozhi also obediently called "Hello uncle", this sophisticated girl is naturally called young. Just looking at the appearance of the old man, how can he also be a grandfather.
After gossiping for a while, the woman put the old man's hand back under the mattress, got up, and said, "You are tired, rest well, and let us go." β
When she left the dormitory, the woman suddenly asked, "Why don't you ask?"
Zhan Tao thought for a while and said, "If you are referring to identity, then I don't think it's necessary, a fool can see that it is the Heavenly Father who is on the sickbed." If not, then it is better to remain silent, the kingdom of heaven will not cure the disease, and what if I ask, it will only add to the anxiety. β
"You're smart. The woman stopped, looked into Zhantao's eyes and said, "Then guess who I am?"
"The emperor is terminally ill and can't manage the government, as a female streamer, and you can act as a politician, I think you are the queen of heaven. Zhan Tao's tone is very firm, his attitude is very sincere, and his appearance is not too tricky and annoying.
The woman was noncommittal, and instructed the maid, "You are the only one who asks if you settle the guests and take care of them." β
The maid said "yes", didn't dare to delay, took Zhan Tao to a courtyard, and carefully tested the air passage, "Childe, take a look, are you satisfied?"
The way the queen keeps people is very special, basically does not give Zhan Tao a chance to open her mouth, her style of acting is also unpredictable, Zhan Tao is unpredictable, and can only be at her mercy. The residence is a trivial matter, Zhan Tao has never picked, not to mention that the condition of this courtyard is very good. Seeing that this maid was silly, Zhan Tao deliberately asked, "How long has Heavenly Father been sick?"
When the maid saw Zhan Tao smiling, she let go of some nervousness and replied, "Hui Gongzi, it's been more than half a year." β
"What I just saw that the Heavenly Father and Queen of Heaven are in good relationship?" Zhan Tao asked.
The maid said without hesitation, "Of course, after my father fell ill, the queen of heaven not only took care of her, but also helped take care of the government. β
Zhan Tao wondered in his heart, with such a good reputation, it seems that this queen has established great prestige in the palace. Seeing that the maid was very arrogant and heartless, Zhan Tao deliberately asked some sensitive questions, "Can I usually come and go freely, or have I been placed under house arrest?"
The maid's eyes widened, "What are you kidding? β
Zhan Tao's mood was a little heavier, this was completely different from what he had seen in the world, no, human beings have completely become slaves of these invaders, this purpose is too hypocritical. Naturally, it was impossible to say on the bright side, Zhan Tao said "thank you", and pulled the little sister to the house. The maid looked at it a few more times, and then withdrew from the courtyard and did not dare to bother again.
When the door closed, Zhan Tao's first words were, "There is a problem." β
"Who has a problem?" Mu Xiaozhi didn't know, but wanted to know whether Zhantao's answer was consistent with her heart.
Zhan Tao didn't answer the question directly, but muttered to himself, "Why did she do this?"
"Maybe it's to win over the hearts of the people and show the bearing of the mother of a country?" Mu Xiaozhi guessed.
"Not true. "The current known news is that there have been similar people who have been here before us, so the question is, where did they go......? Still here?"
Mu Xiaozhi understood, "The top priority is to find compatriots. β
"No, we've got to get to the point. Zhan Tao saw Mu Xiaozhi's puzzled expression, so he said more clearly, "What is the Kingdom of Heaven? What does it mean to the human world? Is the human world a vassal, or are the two parallel to each other?"
"I understand, I'll go find Peach. Mu Xiaozhi is colorful.
It was not easy to find a little maid in the huge palace, but fortunately, in the dark, with the traction of the heart, Mu Xiaozhi found her location. Although you can't tell who is who's doppelganger, you may be able to see your living self with your own eyes, which is a really rare experience.
"Little Peach?" Mu Xiaozhi called out in court.
Xiao Tao was cleaning up the weeds, and she answered without looking back, seeing her serious and focused, and there were a few grasses between the ends of her hair, Mu Xiaozhi suddenly felt a little distressed. This probably perfectly confirms the sentence that I feel sorry for myself.
