Chapter 10: The Domineering Queen Appears Section 2
Zhuo Fei nodded and said, "I know, I will take her back to the palace now."
"yes."
Zhuo Fei walked a few steps with He Wei in his arms, then stopped and turned back to Aaron and said, "I will summon you to the palace tonight. I need you to explain to me what happened to He Wei."
In the chaos and confusion, He Wei seemed to hear someone talking in her ear.
It was a middle-aged female voice that she had never heard before: "I told you to bring her back to me. I didn't ask you to knock her out! What's the matter? Did the girl not want to, and you, a stinky boy, snatched her back by force?"
"Mom, no, this... I can't explain it clearly for a while, can you let me find a doctor to see her first?" This is Zhuo Fei's voice! Then... the person who just spoke, could it be the queen of the Dinosaur Empire?
He Wei was immediately excited and wanted to wake up from the chaos, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open her eyes. She could only remain in a drowsy state and continue to listen to this spicy mother scolding her son.
"I called the doctor for you a long time ago. Why is it your turn to call?! Then explain to me again, if you didn't snatch her back, why are all her clothes gone? You don't want to force her, do you?"
"How is that possible? I won't force He Wei! Mom, stop being suspicious. I don't know the specific reason now. When Aaron comes to the palace, I will go to him and ask him clearly, and then explain it to you, okay?" Zhuo Fei's tone seemed quite helpless.
The middle-aged woman paused for a moment before saying, "But look at this girl's face. She's pretty. Haha, my son has good taste! Look at her skin, it's so tender that you can squeeze water out of it."
He Wei suddenly felt a hand slowly touching her face and then pinching it gently.
"Mom, do you think you are buying fish at the market? This is my woman, and I haven't even pinched her yet! Hey, can you let her have a good rest first? We've been arguing here for a long time!"
"Okay, okay, hahaha, oh, my son has finally grown up, and he still feels sorry for me pinching him, hahaha..."
The hearty laughter gradually faded away , and Zhuo Fei's voice gradually became smaller. He Wei guessed that the two of them must have left together. But she could only lie on the bed motionless. She was clearly conscious, but she just couldn't open her eyes.
She didn't know how long it had been, but just when her heart was about to burn with waiting, she suddenly heard the rustling sound again.
"Please be sure to make a careful and thorough diagnosis. This is a person that Prince Zhuofei cherishes very much." It turned out to be the butler Uncle Zhou. He said this, and it seemed that the doctor that the queen had found to treat her had arrived.
"Yes, please rest assured." The female doctor replied briefly, then sat down beside her and did a lot of detailed examinations for her. Finally, she concluded, "According to the records, Miss He has never transformed before and has always been recorded in the file of 'Dumb Dragon'. Now she is in a coma, probably because her body can't bear the stimulation brought by the sudden transformation, so she chose to be in a coma to repair herself."
"You mean, Miss He is fine?"
"That should be the case. Let her rest for a while and she will wake up. When she gets used to the transformation, she won't have this reaction anymore. When she wakes up, please tell her these words."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Doctor, I hope you can understand that Miss He's transformation is a matter of great importance. Please be sure not to disclose it to anyone."
"Don't worry, I understand."
The female doctor seemed to leave after saying this, leaving He Wei alone on the bed in shock: She...she changed? How is it possible? I am clearly a human from Earth! Could it be that when I traveled through time, my body mutated?
She became nervous and her breathing became rapid. She grabbed the bed sheet with her fingers and suddenly opened her eyes.
What caught her eyes was naturally the magnificent scene in the palace, but she had no mood to appreciate it, and just tried to sit up from the bed. The housekeeper who was guarding beside her noticed He Wei's movement and was immediately surprised and happy: "Miss He, you are awake? That's great!"
He Wei managed to utter a hoarse voice: "Please help me up."
The housekeeper hurried to the bedside and helped He Wei sit up: "Miss He, you just woke up, I think you should lie down and rest for a while."
But He Wei had already propped herself up and got out of bed: "No, I...I have to go find Zhuo Fei and ask him what happened before. He...he must be hiding something from me!"
At the same time, Aaron stood outside Zhuo Fei's study, tidied his appearance, then bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Aaron requests to see you."
Zhuo Fei responded immediately from inside: "Come in."
"Yes." Aaron pushed the door open and entered.
The two grew up together, and Aaron had assisted Zhuo Fei all the way, so they were quite familiar with each other. Therefore, when they met now, they did not need to pay polite compliments, and Zhuo Fei went straight to the point and asked, "How is Gu Lei handling it?"
"The injury is not serious. He has been treated. Captain Zou has been monitoring him. I believe there will be no major actions in the short term."
"Well, that's good." Zhuo Fei nodded and asked, "Did you know that He Wei could transform a long time ago?"
This was exactly the point that Aaron wanted to tell Zhuo Fei about when he came to the palace this time. He immediately replied, "Yes, but the last time... the situation was rather special, and I didn't have a suitable opportunity to explain it to you."
"Last time...do you mean that night at the fighting arena?" Zhuo Fei paused before asking.
"Yes. I witnessed Miss He's transformation that night, but the situation was special at the time, and I didn't know what Miss He's original form would be after she transformed. So I went to investigate first, and planned to report to Your Highness after finding out the truth."
Since he said so, he must have found the result . Zhuo Fei actually had some vague guesses in his heart, but the legend about the Dragon God was too old, so he didn't dare to be sure, so he said: "Tell me, what did you find out."
"Your Highness should still remember that when we were young, there was a legend about the Dragon God. It was said that it was the most powerful dragon in our dinosaur world. It was said that it had a slender body and could fly into the sky and into the ground, but it had no wings. It shuttled through the clouds and mist. From a distance, it looked like a giant python, but it had four more claws than a giant python..."
These words hit the nail on the head of Zhuo Fei's mind: "Are you saying that Xiao Wei might be the Dragon God who has disappeared for many years?"
"I am not completely sure, but I have read all kinds of books and pictures about dinosaurs since I was a child under the guidance of my father, but I have never seen the kind of dragon that Miss He transformed into. Your Highness and I have seen with our own eyes that this dragon is very powerful and can cut Gu Lei's flesh with its claws alone. That day...that day in the fighting arena, it also used its claws to scratch all the walls. I saw with my own eyes that its movements were as simple as cutting paper."
Zhuo Fei's face was solemn. Regardless of whether He Wei was the long-lost Dragon God, it was an absolute fact that she was very powerful after her transformation. No wonder Gu Lei tried every means to take her away from him! The surveillance video that was lost in the fighting arena that night must have been taken away by him.
But at the moment, Zhuo Fei had a question in his heart that he had always wanted to ask, but couldn't ask. Seeing Aaron standing in front of him, he stretched out his hand to pinch his eyebrows, closed his eyes tightly, and finally spoke after a long time: "I have another question to ask you, but you must never mention this question to others in the future."
"I understand." Aaron guessed what Zhuo Fei wanted to ask, so he confessed. "That night, I fell into Prince Gu Lei's trap and was taken to the storage room of the martial arts arena by his men. They put aphrodisiacs in the room, and then Miss He was lured here. At first... At first, I really couldn't control my behavior, but then Miss He suddenly changed, and she knocked me straight against the wall. So, please rest assured, Your Highness, nothing happened between me and Miss He that night. But I know that my behavior was inappropriate. I asked my father yesterday that I would go to the northern wilderness to receive training there and would not come back within half a year, but I still want to ask Your Highness to punish me!"
Before Zhuo Fei could respond, the door of the study was suddenly opened. He saw He Wei standing at the door with tears in her eyes.
Zhuo Fei was startled at first, then he saw Uncle Zhou, the housekeeper, following behind He Wei. He immediately frowned and scolded loudly: "Uncle Zhou! What's wrong with you! Didn't I tell you to take good care of her?"
What he least wanted He Wei to hear was the conversation he had just had with Aaron, but she happened to be heard!
But before Uncle Zhou opened his mouth to ask His Royal Highness the Prince to punish him, He Wei, who was standing at the door, rushed in, rushed in front of Zhuo Fei and punched him with her little fist: "Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy!"
Seeing this, Aaron quietly withdrew from the study, leaving the space to the two people in the study. Zhuo Fei in the room did not resist, but just let He Wei hit his broad and thick chest, lowered his head and quietly watched the tears flashing in the corners of her eyes, and finally couldn't help but hugged her into his arms.
"Let go! I hate you! Don't hug me!"
He Wei struggled desperately in his arms, but Zhuo Fei held her tighter and tighter, rubbing his face against her: "Why did you run out wearing so little? You'll catch a cold soon." As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a coat from the armrest of the chair, wrapped it around He Wei, and wrapped her up tightly like a rice dumpling.
With her hands tied, He Wei could no longer beat him. She gradually calmed down and just raised her tearful eyes and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Zhuo Fei reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes and said, "I'm just afraid that you'll think too much! It's just a small thing, what's there to say?"
But He Wei, who had been standing outside the door eavesdropping, knew how nervous Zhuo Fei was, but he was going to bear it all by himself! If she hadn't insisted on coming to him today, Zhuo Fei would have even planned to keep this a secret for the rest of his life! He didn't even know if she had had anything happen between her and Aaron in the fighting arena, and he had already made the decision to bear it all by himself...
He Wei couldn't help but bite Zhuo Fei's hand angrily, leaving teeth marks deeper and deeper on his hand, and her tears flowed more and more violently.
Zhuo Fei hurriedly advised her: "Don't, don't cry, dear - I didn't say anything because I was afraid that you would think too much. It's really nothing. You know that no matter what happens, I will always love you. I will only love you in this life, okay?"
"Wuwuwuwu——" The more he said this, the harder He Wei cried.
Zhuo Fei was soon at a loss. He held He Wei's face with both hands and said in the softest tone possible, "What do you want to do? Don't cry, dear. Do you want some candy? I'll get you some."
He Wei couldn't help but burst out laughing, and glared at him with tearful eyes: "I'm not a kid in kindergarten..."
Seeing her smile, Zhuo Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief and touched her face: "It's all my fault, don't be sad, okay?"
"Then you can't hide things from me in the future!" He Wei pouted and immediately started negotiating terms.
"Okay, okay, I will tell you whatever happens next time."
He Wei then smiled with satisfaction and pinched Zhuo Fei's nose: "I, I want to eat candy." After lying in bed for so long, her mouth really felt tasteless.
"Hahaha, okay, let's go, I'll take you to find some candy." Zhuo Fei immediately grinned, put his arm around He Wei's neck and was about to take her out. But suddenly, a middle-aged female voice came from outside the door: "Oh, what candy do you need to find? I think you two are already sweet enough together."
The two people in the room were stunned at the same time. Zhuo Fei walked forward and opened the door of the study room. There was a "click" sound outside the door. The queen holding the camera looked at the results she had just taken, frowned, and said, "No, no, you little brat, stand back and hold her tightly, smile more intimately, and I will take a photo of you two."
Zhuo Fei walked back to He Wei woodenly and hugged her. The queen seized the opportunity and made another "click": "Oh, why do you two have such dull expressions? Smile a little, smile a little!"
