Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder's Self-Redemption (2)[MTL]

Chapter 57: A Few Things About the Little Emperor

Qiming put the jade ring back into the drawer and went to the kitchen. Although Shen Xiao was angry about the jade ring, Qiming promised to make snacks for him, so he would definitely make them. As for whether Shen Xiao would accept it or not, that was none of his business.

　　Qiming spent nearly an hour and a half in the kitchen, and finally finished making all the snacks. He divided them into three portions, one for Dou Ding, and the other two were sent to Taoyuan. He planned to ask Li Heng to deliver them. If Shen Xiao was in Taoyuan now, that would be perfect. If not, it would be much easier to have Li Heng deliver it to the Duke's Mansion than to send someone to deliver it himself. As for the jade ring, Qiming wanted to find an opportunity to return it to Shen Xiao in person and apologize for his carelessness.

　　After lunch, Qiming went back to his room for a nap, and then went to the study to practice calligraphy. In the study, Qiming put the brush on the pen holder, looked at the map drawn on the table, tapped one of the places with his fingers, and said softly: "Dou Ding, except for the secret prison, we have found almost all the secret passages in the Regent's Palace, but we can't find the entrance to this one. I guess what is hidden in this secret passage is what they have been looking for."

　　Douding munched on the snack in his hand and said vaguely, "Brother, that place was originally a Buddhist temple, but it was turned into a garden by the regent. There are flowers and plants everywhere, and even large rocks are rare. How can we find the mechanism?"

　　Qiming thought for a moment and said, "Except for this place, all other places in the palace were built according to the layout of the original princess's palace. Why is this place different?"

　　Douding said casually: "It's very simple. Li Hao didn't even find out there was a secret passage here, otherwise the things would have been taken away long ago. Is there any need to imprison Nalan Xue?"

　　Qiming was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Dou Ding, I noticed that your IQ has been rising recently. Is it true that the smaller your body is, the higher your IQ is?"

　　Douding looked at his small body, curled his lips and said, "I would rather have a lower IQ and return to my original appearance."

　　At least that way, you won't treat me like a child anymore.

　　Qiming couldn't help but ask curiously: "Dou Ding, what did you look like originally? Aren't you not yet an adult? You should have looked similar to now, right?"

　　Douding swallowed the snack in his hand in one gulp, patted the snack in his hand in a sloppy manner, raised his head proudly, and said: "Of course it's different. Although I am not an adult yet, at my age of 500, I shouldn't look like a bean sprout now. Before I was injured, I looked like a teenager, and I was so good-looking, so handsome that it angered the heavens and the people!"

　　Qiming couldn't help rolling his eyes and said jokingly, "The phrase 'Heaven is angry and people are resentful' is well used. Even the heaven is angry, why doesn't it beat you back to your original form?"

　　Seeing Qiming's obvious disbelief, Douding became anxious. He waved his hand and an image appeared in his space. He pointed at the image and said, "Brother, this is what I looked like before. I'm not exaggerating at all!"

　　Qiming carefully looked at the image and nodded in his heart. Although Douding's tone was a little exaggerated, he was indeed very handsome when he was young. His thick black eyebrows were slightly raised, with a youthful vigor; his round eyes were bright and clear, as if they were shining with tiny stars; his lips were neither thin nor thick, and the color of his lips was slightly bright red; his face was oval, and his cheeks still had baby fat that had not completely transformed. The whole person makes people feel comfortable and like him from the bottom of their hearts. That is, as people often say, he is not only delicate, but also very likable. If the Li Nanxing brothers are beautiful and noble roses, then Douding is a warm and lively sunflower.
