Mingshu stared with surprise, her apricot eyes wide and round, her voice filled with astonishment, "Your Majesty, how could you think so? Your Majesty's precious body, how could this concubine possibly let you sleep on the ground?"
Just as Si Chu's anger began to subside a bit, he heard her continue with a face of pure innocence.
"If someone has to sleep on the floor, it should be this concubine!"
Her tone was one of absolute certainty.
Si Chu: "..."
He licked his canine teeth, suppressing his anger as he looked at her coolly, "Does the beloved concubine have a fondness for sleeping on the floor?"
Mingshu subconsciously felt that the term "beloved concubine" was somewhat eerie; she shrank her neck and shook her head, "...not really."
Was she sick?
Why would she choose a cold, hard floor over a big, soft bed?
Si Chu's eyes darkened a bit, the corners of his lips lifting in a smile that was almost gentle, "Is that huge bed not enough to fit you?"
