282. The Taoist Old Man (13)
When Master Wei's superior officer received the news and rushed over, he had already been taken to the palace by the emperor.
The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, and the eunuch beside him was holding a plate of small fish. He just put the little white cat on the dragon's lap, touched the back of the little guy's neck with one hand, and took the dried small fish and handed it to its mouth. .
Seeing the little kitten devouring its food, the emperor almost melted it with his doting and gentle gaze. He gently touched its small back and coaxed softly as if he was afraid of scaring it, "Good boy, eat slowly. Don't choke."
How could the little milk cat understand human speech? After eating the small fish that the emperor handed to her, she still greedily wanted it. Her childish voice meowed at the eunuch who was holding the plate full of desire.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll give you whatever you want."
The little milk cat's voice was a bit sharp due to its eagerness, which was quite harsh to human ears, but when it fell to the emperor, it was like the sound of nature. He gave it another piece of small fish to eat with a face full of enjoyment.
Mr. Wei stood awkwardly at the bottom. It was obvious that he was brought to the palace for the first time by the emperor. He should be excited or ecstatic, but he looked at the emperor above who was coaxing the kitten to eat small fish, and he was not happy at all. stand up.
Seeing Shangguan come in, he quickly bowed solemnly, "Sir."
"Zi Qing?"
The Shangguan glanced at Mr. Wei doubtfully, saluted the emperor first, and then asked: "Why are you here?"
The Emperor, who was holding the slicked-down kitten in his arms, had not forgotten the business. He raised his head and explained, "I brought him back. Ziqing is good at martial arts. He saved me in two battles with assassins. In addition, he also knew some inside information about this incident, so I brought him back."
"Ziqing, please tell Mr. Guan again what you know."
"Yes." Mr. Wei respectfully agreed and told him that he was asked out by the Crown Prince of Liang, and his father found out that he almost fell in love with his daughter's incense, and how insidious the daughter's incense is, using the life of a living woman as raw material. Of course, the Madam’s sister Yan Niang was still concealed.
The face of Shangguan, whose surname was Shangguan, turned blue and white, and finally stopped being furious. Even the emperor sitting on the dragon throne did not hesitate and directly cursed, "It's so unscrupulous! In order to make such a sinister thing , I don’t know how many innocent people were filled in!”
"Zi Qing, I have known for a long time that the Marquis has devoted himself to the Tao. I never imagined that he would be so powerful. You have never said a word to anyone."
Lord Shangguan looked at his subordinate who had such a capable father but never told him about it and only worked hard on his own. His usually stern eyes were full of appreciation.
It's just that he had just lost his temper, and his face was still extremely dark. Even if he had calmed down a little, at this moment, in Master Wei's eyes, he still looked cold and inhumane. In addition, his flat tone sounded like he was complaining that he kept it secret. The report is average.
Of course, Master Wei didn't think so.
After overhearing how Shangguan recommended him to His Majesty last time, even if Shangguan's face was as stiff as iron at this moment, he would never think that he had any objection to him.
The emperor above did not notice what happened between the two of them. He fondly touched the kitten in his arms and said murderous words, "I found out what happened last time to Prince Liang. I originally thought that someone might have framed him. , then I couldn’t bear to say anything. Since Prince Liang is seeking death, I naturally want to help him, but..."
He hesitated for a while and then said hesitantly, "Princess Liang is the daughter of my direct royal sister..."
Mr. Wei saluted nervously, "Your Majesty, the princess and your majesty are blood relatives, and they have been ill in bed all year round. Maybe they don't know about Prince Liang's affairs. If your majesty is not at ease, you can send someone to Prince Liang's mansion to investigate first. "
The emperor was so angry now that he only wanted to kill everyone in Prince Liang's house. He couldn't even wait for a moment, let alone investigate.
"I……"
"Meow" The little milk cat nestled obediently on the emperor's lap suddenly meowed. It had eaten enough and had gained strength. Seeing that the person hugging it did not hurt itself, it became bolder again and stood up carefully. Jiaoji screamed to go down.
"Hey, my dear, where are you going? Come on, come down first, and run away by yourself..."
Watching the little milk cat fall to the ground, the emperor urged the people waiting around him, "Quick, follow me and take care of me."
Waiting to see the little cat carefully stretching out its paws to explore the surrounding environment, and soon found a corner to stay. The emperor then retracted his gaze and said, "Where did I just say? By the way, send Let some people go investigate, okay, let’s investigate first, if Princess Liang knows about it and doesn’t report it..."
The emperor's eyes on the dragon throne turned cold for a moment.
Lord Shangguan looked at the emperor who had a completely different attitude before and after, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Your Majesty, this is the antidote to the daughter's fragrance..."
"Didn't you say that just killing that woman would be enough?" The emperor sneered, "I don't know who gave them the courage to actually try to control me with such a cold thing, treating me like a child with a yellow mouth and easy to fool. Really? Also, since they drugged Ziqing, there must have been some ministers in the court who were also drugged. Find out which ministers in the court have suddenly fallen in love with women, torture them and kill them all."
Lord Shangguan took a note and subconsciously looked at the dozing cat in the corner, "Your Majesty, that cat wants to..."
--boom!
The emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne slammed the plate of fish in his hand to the ground.
"It's just a cat! It's not those women with ulterior motives! Is it possible that I am still obsessed with a cat?"
"Even if I love it, it's just because it looks good, and it has nothing to do with the fragrance. Come here and take a look at its appearance. Do you dare to say that you don't like it?!"
Lord Shangguan, who has been watching the emperor look at the milk cat with tender eyes since he entered the palace: "...Your Majesty said it."
The emperor then sat back on the dragon throne and waved his hand:
"Okay, step back and put more people around the prince. Since Prince Liang dares to attack me, the prince must be watching and protecting him."
Sir Shangguan really wants to ask, isn't it because your Majesty's leaving the palace gave them the opportunity that King Liang was able to take action?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never leaves the palace.
But he still didn't dare to say such words, so he could only bow respectfully and leave, taking his subordinate Mr. Wei with him.
The two of them walked out of the palace, and Mr. Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, sir. Since your Majesty can say this, he must be able to restrain himself."
Lord Shangguan thought the same thing.
That's Your Majesty.
That's all if it's a beauty, a cat?
He shook his head, "It's my worries that are unfounded."
In the main hall, seeing the two ministers leaving, the emperor waved away the people who were waiting on him, and with a smile, he picked up the little milk cat squatting obediently in the corner.
"Be good, my little good boy."
He touched the head of the little milk cat in his arms with both affection and worry. Guaiguai's appearance really attracted people's love, but when he thought that it only had a life span of more than ten years, his heart ached like blood.
Just now, Wei Ziqing said that his father knew the art of metaphysics...
I don’t know if Lord Wei has any method to turn animals into spirits.
It's better to pay a visit.
The author has something to say: I really need to exercise...
