My Lord is A Stone Chapter 19

The sky gradually brightened, the clouds stained red by the morning sun slowly dispersed, very soon it became a cloudless clear sky for thousands of miles, vast clearness, boundless water, clearing people’s minds wide open, Zhao Jin Yu took a deep breath, it was cold, but the air she breathed into her chest was fresh and crisp, was.h.i.+ng clean all the turbulence, carefree and relaxed she thought this was a new start right?

“Stone, why are you still not asleep?” Zhao Jin Yu knew the stone couldn’t appear in its body during the day, now it still stubbornly struggled to remain awake, very worried about his body, gently stroking its badly damaged corner, feeling slightly guilty she said, “Relax, from now on I’ll always carry you on me, look at this bag, I will put you inside, then tied to my body.” Zhao Jin Yu took a small red silk bag pointing it for the stone.

The emperor saw the silk bag was a somewhat old pale yellow, involuntarily recalling the undergarments she wore a few days ago, it was like this piece of cloth, he immediately narrowed his eyes, chidingly saying, “Outrageous, you actually used the cloth from your undergarment to make a bag?”

Zhao Jin Yu had always treated the emperor as a child stone spirit, like a young infant crying piteously for food, would you be angry with a young infant? Of course not, she laughed hehe saying, “Aiya, is our little thing embarra.s.sed? Didn’t you sleep on my chest a few days ago? Now you look down on my undergarment?”

“You don’t have a sense of honour!” The emperor screwed up his nose in anger, his ident.i.ty inevitably allowed him to only come across dignified and graceful women, even if they were extremely scheming, at most they only concentrated on their clothes and manner, never before has he met such a bold and unconstrained woman like Zhao Jin Yu who he saw as simply a wanton woman! 

Of course Zhao Jin Yu did not know about his main body. = . =

Hearing the emperor’s words a sudden mischief rushed into Zhao Jin Yu’s mind, holding the stone she rubbed it against her cleavage, inciting the emperor’s anger that he wailed loudly, Zhao Jin Yu hearing the stone’s soft and sticky cute voice, her laughter was melodious, eyes s.h.i.+ning, like a blossoming sunflower, attracting sidelong glances, she half-jokingly said, “Little thing, you eat mine, use mine, now you even touched me, you need to take responsibility for me, but let’s wait until you can transform, I reckon you can take your sweet time?” Zhao Jin Yu knew spirits cannot transform their appearance every thousands of years, on the basis of the stone’s words, he ought to have just become a spirit.

“You who is below the level of ordinary people? Suitable for me? You’re not even fit to carry my shoes!” The emperor arrogantly said.

Zhao Jin Yu was now slightly unhappy, the sound creaking from her teeth gritting together, she said, “Little thing, I just don’t understand, how can your mouth be so malicious? Could it be you don’t know how to treat someone with due respect?”

“You don’t have such a status.” The emperor said unhesitatingly, with an aloof and remote superiority.

Zhao Jin Yu, “…”

“Oh, stop!”

“I’ll put you away, I don’t want to see you right now!” Zhao Jin Yu placed the stone in the bag, shaking it, hearing it cry out, she was rather distressed, but still feigning nonchalant she said, “If you don’t listen to me in the future I will punish you like this, yi, why won’t you speak?”

The stone suddenly stopped struggling, like it had no soul, Zhao Jin Yu very naturally thought of its wound, urgently opening up the bag, as a result…, the stone shot out like a rocket, hitting Zhao Jin Yu’s hand.

“So, you want to act up!” Zhao Jin Yu stooped to pick up the stone from the floor.

The emperor shot at glance at Zhao Jin Yu showing off his strength, bouncing off, this wasn’t the snow covered ground, his movements weren’t restricted, he made his way into a narrow s.p.a.ce, Zhao Jin Yu panickily chased after it, without paying attention to the table and stools, she hit her head several times, angrily she puffed out her cheeks and pouted like an always sulky little rabbit, at the beginning the emperor had only thought of teaching her a lesson…, now, his face gradually relaxed.

The room gradually filled with Zhao Jin Yu’s melodious laughter, and thumping sound, and it was while the two of them were chasing after the other a knocking sound came from outside the door, “Miss, your breakfast.” The bottom deck of the s.h.i.+p was the kitchen, several female cooks worked below, guests could order their own meal, and can bring their own food.

Zhao Jin Yu glared at the stone, the meaning was, you need to behave for me, after straightening up her clothes she went to open the door, a little girl of seven or eight years old stood outside the door, suntanned but with a nimble appearance, st.u.r.dy posture, two hands steadily holding a red lacquered tray with a Chinese flowering crab-apple drawing, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with food on top, “Miss, my name is Juan Er, I will be cleaning here, delivering food is also my job, you only have to tell me.” Juan Er finished speaking and faced Zhao Jin Yu with a sweet, sweet smile, dark large eyes gleamed, giving Zhao Jin Yu a rather good impression, she again said, “I will carry this food in for you.”

“No need, I can do it myself.” Zhao Jin Yu was afraid the stone would cause trouble inside the room causing suspicion in the young girl, she took the initiative to take the tray.

Juan Er also didn’t persist, many guests did not like strangers entering their rooms, she smiled handing the tray over to Zhao Jin Yu, saying, “Miss, it’s a bit heavy, hold it properly, don’t drop it”

“That red pot is hot, that blue and white porcelain bowl is rice, this is…” Juan Er finished carefully speaking, “When you’re done just place it outside, I will come and take the bowls and chopsticks later.”

“Thank you.” Zhao Jin Yu naturally expressed grat.i.tude.

It was actually the first time Juan Er had been thanked in this way, she was stunned for a moment but very quickly recovered her expression, her gaze became slightly warming, saying, “You’re welcome.”

Zhao Jin Yu smelled the fragrance of the food, saying to the stone, “Come quickly to eat.”

The emperor was already beyond tired, detecting the stone was gradually losing its spirit, urging him to leave quickly, but Zhao Jin Yu again carried food over, immediately feeling his stomach rumble with hunger, difficult to ignore the hunger…, however yesterday he had eaten three meat wedged in steamed buns, could a stone’s body also grow?

Zhao Jin Yu gently placed the stone into clear water to wash clean, then placed it into the caterpillar fungus spare ribs soup, seeing the soup bubble with splashes, she couldn’t help say, “Drink slowly, this is to supplement your body.”

The emperor laid in the warm like spring soup, the smell of food all around seeped into his soul, he unconsciously closed his eyes, releasing a breath, rumbling he again drank a mouthful of soup, warmth spread throughout his body, through the milky white soup he looked at the somewhat hazy Zhao Jin Yu…, an unknown emotion rippling through his heart, he eventually began to examine a certain problem, is it really a calamity?

Zhao Jin Yu ate half a bowl of rice before seeing the stone was unmoving in the soup, just now it had been in high spirits giving off bubbles…, after calling out a few times she was then certain it was asleep, smiling, she used chopsticks to pick the stone out, her mind couldn’t help think of ridicules, luckily it had fallen asleep, otherwise every time she used the chopsticks to pick it up, it would not be happy, thinking she was recklessly careless with it, = . =

“Sleep well.” Zhao Jin Yu wiped the stone clean, gently placing it in the bag, recalling the stone had sustain loss, suffering some pain, separated by the silk she lightly kissed it.

Inside the Hanzhen’s palace, the emperor expressionlessly allowed the palace maids to dress him, but suddenly he felt that his face was lightly touched…, stroking lightly like a b.u.t.terfly wing, unimaginably soft, his heart suddenly lurched.

The emperor looked at the meal table, saying, “Why isn’t there caterpillar fungus spare ribs soup?” thinking about it he had only ate half of it, = . =

Rui Fu felt the emperor was getting weirder and weirder recently, apart from that time he suddenly cried out in the middle of the night, scaring so many people to run around in circles, in the end when the imperial physician came to feel his pulse, he only said there was nothing wrong with the emperor, but he would wake up!

Thinking about what he went through that night, Rui Fu was still indeterminately frightened, he could recall, the usually steady as Mount Tai An Wen Yao tightly clenching his fists, sparks emitting from his scarlet eyes, looking like if he knew who was the murderer he would make mincemeat of him, that sort of violent aura, even looking at him he was felt extremely fearful.

Fortunately at early morning the emperor woke up, or else…, Rui Fu felt An Wen Yao wouldn’t just slaughter the entire imperial physicians bureau involved but also those who served the emperor personally would not live well, at that time he was actually somewhat depressed, he was loyal and devoted to the emperor, not only would he sc.r.a.pe his bones and rip out his heart, he was also not much different from An Wen Yao, in any case the emperor…, An Wen Yao too, looked down on him?

However Rui Fu’s dejection was temporary, he wasn’t discouraged at all, because he believed time would proof everything, the emperor would soon understand his utter devotion and loyalty.

Qin Hong and Su Qing Chen worked non-stop without sleep for several days and nights, apart from the Embroidered Uniform Guards, even the tens of thousands of imperial guards were summoned, even if the capital city was very big, with a large population, they had found all the girls called Zhang Hong in the capital in a short time, their movements unimaginably swift, their minds were clear, every day they saw the emperor’s cold face, not eating either, not seeming to have slept well, in no more than a few days, the gentle and elegant Qin Hong was even more as light as a feather, as if he would immediately become immortal, even Su Qing Chen was too, putting on his clothes he had noticed there was a two finger s.p.a.ce.

The two people knelt on the ice-cold floor not even daring to use a praying mat, bowing their heads not daring to speak, the venerated handsome emperor, aristocratic manner, clothed overall in a golden silk dragon robe, wearing a penetrating white jade crown, under the soft sunlight it had an even more indescribable imposing and serene manner, his brows deeply locked, as if he was considering something extremely problematic, but the emperor’s thoughts were actually somewhat far, why is the caterpillar fungus spare ribs soup in the palace not as tasty as before he turned into a stone?

“Your majesty, how should we take care of these people?” Qin Hong somewhat hesitantly opened his mouth, after speaking he looked over at Su Qing Chen, Su Qing Chen also stared back, the two people used their eyes to communicate for quite a while, finally it was Qin Hong who admitted defeat, the main problem was the kneeling…, he truly did not have Su Qing Chen’s body stature, capable of persevering with kneeling for several hours without a problem.

The emperor’s eyes were profound, like an abyss which bottom could not be seen, not able to see clearly, using his usually cold and detached voice sounding like precious gems clanking together, “First keep them locked up.”

Qin Hong and Su Qing Chen looked at each other, somewhat puzzled, a few days before the emperor was still acting extremely urgent…, how can he suddenly be so calm?

“Your Majesty…” Qin Hong was just about to speak when the emperor shot him a glance, like a cold wind blowing past, his body couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver, the emperor lowered his eyelids saying, “You did pretty good with this matter, go take your reward”

Qin Hong and Su Qing Chen were pleasantly surprised, but when the emperor again spoke coldly, “On your way also receive the beatings you have acc.u.mulated.”

The two people immediately paled…, the emperor still had a cold expression, but the corner of his mouth was slightly lifted.
