Chapter 372 Good Dream
Sang Luo didn't think that hundreds or thousands of years would be enough for the young Minos to remember such an insignificant person like her.
For a child, especially a holy son of noble status, it would not take a few years, perhaps a few months or a few days, for him to forget about her after waking up from a night's sleep, so there was no need to worry too much about revealing her true appearance.
"You, you are..." The young man looked at her and murmured, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Sang Luo guessed what the boy was afraid of. Her appearance was too unique in the eyes of angels. She smiled and explained, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I am not a fallen angel and I will not hurt you. If you don't believe me, you can try using the angel's divine light. Fallen angels are most afraid of this thing~"
Minos pursed his lips, swallowed his words, and said nothing more.
Sang Luo heated up the somewhat cold medicine and gave it to him to drink.
This time Minos did not refuse and drank the medicine quietly.
Sang Luo took the empty medicine bowl from him, bowed, and turned away.
A faint fragrance passed through his nose, smelling very good. The boy glanced secretly at the door.
After the female figure turned the corner and disappeared, he buried his head back in the soft, snow-white quilt, covering half of his face, leaving only a pair of beautiful blue eyes exposed, which he slowly closed.
……
In the second half of the night, the little saint developed a high fever again, which gave the doctors in the Holy Palace a lot of trouble.
No one dared to close their eyes for the entire night before the little prince's condition was stabilized.
Sang Luo and several other servants took close care of the sleeping Minos.
She brought a tray of warm water, soaked a clean towel in it, and placed it on his forehead.
The young man was suffering from illness, his long and thick eyelashes were wet with tears, and he was trembling restlessly in his sleep, which made people feel very pitiful.
Sang Luo's eyes darkened slightly, and he turned to the attendant beside him and said, "Brothers, you haven't slept all night, go and rest first. The young prince's condition is under control. There is nothing serious tonight. I will be on duty to take care of the young prince."
"how about you?"
"I slept for half a day during the day and I wasn't sleepy at night."
"Okay, you keep watch tonight, and I'll do it tomorrow. We'll take turns."
"Ah."
After everyone else left, Sang Luo sat down beside the bed and held Minos's thin and pale hand.
The light golden power was transmitted into his body, slowly calming the restless power in his body.
She still softened her heart.
Just to help him relieve the pain...it should be fine...
In a daze, Minos smelled that faint fragrance again. This time, the two were closer, and he could smell it more clearly. It was a bit like the scent of lily of the valley...
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a figure gradually became clear in his blurry vision.
Is that the maid?
She, she actually held his hand...
Minos tried to pull his hand away and scold him harshly, but he didn't have the strength to do so.
Soon, he discovered that his body did not resist her approach, nor did he show any uncomfortable reaction.
In the past, he hated being touched by others and would always have an allergic reaction.
But she didn't?
why?
The aura of power emanating from her palm was also very familiar, so familiar that he suddenly thought it was his own original power.
His body felt more comfortable and relaxed than ever before. He slowly closed his eyes while thinking about all sorts of things.
Sang Luo was so focused that she didn't notice that the boy quietly woke up in the middle of the night. After she calmed down the restless power in Minos' body, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the boy who was sleeping peacefully. His cheeks became rosy and white, and his breathing was light and shallow. He should have a good dream tonight.
Sang Luo covered him with a quilt, and the next second, appeared on the roof of the palace.
At night, most people in the palace went to bed, leaving only the guards who were changing shifts.
She went to the place where the Holy Ancestor was in seclusion.
Outsiders cannot enter, and many guards are deployed outside.
Sang Luo pretended to be a new member of the shift change team and chatted with two guards, "...How many years has the Holy Ancestor been in seclusion? Has he said when he will come out?"
The honest guard shook his head, "We have no right to know what happened to the Holy Ancestor. We just need to do our job well."
Another guard said, "I have been in the palace for more than ten years, and I have never seen the legendary Saint Ancestor."
An older guard came over and happened to overhear their chat, and he casually replied, "I was lucky enough to meet the Holy Ancestor once! He was so majestic that even the Holy Lord had to bow and give way to him!"
The honest guard was surprised, "Isn't the Holy Lord the ruler of the Holy Temple? Why is he being so polite to the Holy Ancestor?"
The old guard said meaningfully, "You newcomers have seen too little. The true master of the temple is the Holy Ancestor."
"It's just that the Holy Ancestor has been in seclusion for many years, so the Holy King was established."
"I remember that the last time the Holy Ancestor came out of seclusion was when the Holy Son was born. Not long after, the Holy Son's mother died. The news was that it was because of a difficult birth caused by giving birth to the Divine Angel. The subsequent treatment and recovery could not keep up, so she died of exhaustion. But I clearly saw it back then..."
Sang Luo and the two young guards listened attentively.
The old guard seemed to have violated some taboo and did not dare to continue speaking.
After Sang Luo flattered him for a few words, he let go and showed off what he had seen and heard that year.
"After the Holy Ancestor came out of retreat, he met the Holy Empress alone once. There was a fierce quarrel in the palace that year. I heard that the Holy Lord wanted to seize the custody of the Holy Son, but was sternly rejected by the Holy Empress."
"The next morning, news came that the Holy Queen had passed away... You must not spread it. Just pretend that you heard nothing today and that I just made it up!"
The old guard shook his head and left.
The real inside story is unknown, but over the years, there have been many people who have been suspicious, but no one dared to speak out.
Sang Luo frowned, "Is what that senior said true?"
"There's nothing interesting going on in the palace. It's very boring. People like to gossip the most. Who knows whether what he says is true or false?" The honest guard shook his head.
Another guard hesitated, "But I've heard another rumor that can be connected."
No matter where you are, gossiping is human nature, and with Sang Luo's deliberate attempt to get information out of these guards, she actually got a lot of information out of them.
"After the death of the former Saint, the former Saint went to the Saint Ancestor's retreat alone. Half a month later, he died of depression... I heard that he was covered in blood when he came out of the retreat. Do you think the two had a fight over this?"
"It's possible."
"The former Saint Queen and the former Saint King have both passed away. Under whom does the Saint Son work now? The current Saint King?" Sang Luo had a bad feeling in his heart.
Minos' parents died too early. Although the angel was powerful, he had no ability to protect himself when he was young. His body was still so weak that it was easy for him to be targeted by people with ulterior motives and become the fat meat to be divided up, or he might suffer some bad things in the palace, such as being abused by servants... Generally in this situation, the temple would find another caregiver for the young Son of God, even if it was only a nominal caregiver, who could ensure that he grew up safely and smoothly.
“The current Holy Sovereign had no intention of adopting the Holy Son. It was the Holy Ancestor who was kind enough to take the Holy Son in and raise him under his name.” When the guard said the word “kindly”, he obviously hesitated.
Sang Luo thought to himself that it was true.
The Holy Ancestor had been thinking about Minos from the very beginning.
Minos's soul bone was not fully developed when he was young, so he hadn't taken action yet. It would be easier to take action if he brought him closer!
Sang Luo used his power to explore Minos' body. His soul bone was almost fully developed, and it was estimated that the day for the Saint Ancestor to come out of seclusion would be approaching.
