Prince Rui's temperament is changeable, moody and unpredictable. This has long been no secret in the palace. Everyone in the palace is more or less aware of the taboos of the prince. Do other things in the courtyard, and wait until the time has passed before going in to serve.

When Nie Zhen entered the main courtyard, the attendants had already prepared the meals, and Xiao Luomo's movement of getting out of his clothes to look around was naturally noticed by the servants, which attracted a few surprised looks.

Nie Zhen didn't care either. After waving away from the crowd, he carried the cat out and put it on the table.

He took the fish soup that he had ordered the canteen to make before, lifted the lid of the cup, scooped up a small bowl, put it in front of the kitten, and said in a warm voice, "Try it to see if it suits your appetite."

Xiao Luomo licked two mouthfuls of soup lightly, let out a cry of satisfaction, and sat down to eat obediently.

This world is different from the last one. There is no special milk powder for kittens. It can only drink fish soup and eat fish meat. There is no guarantee that it will not cause problems if it eats other things. Although its current body has been transformed by lucky energy, They are not as fragile as ordinary kittens, but they still dare not be too casual about eating, after all, cats don’t live long.

When Nie Zhen was serving soup for it just now, he put the small bowl together with his own bowl. Now the kitten was sitting next to his hand, and he could see the contents of the bowl when he turned his head, so the curious kitten Just staring at each other's bowl while eating, his round eyes didn't blink.

It found that Nie Zhen ate very fast, but his movements did not look rude at all. On the contrary, he was elegant and calm, extremely pleasing to the eye, and he seemed to have no preference in what he ate. He ate as if he had completed a task, and the amount of each meal was included They are all the same, exactly.

Xiao Luomo raised his head to look at the other person's face strangely, met the man's gentle and calm gaze, and then lowered his head to eat his own, thinking that Nie Zhen would not find it very interesting to live like this, like eating to live, not at all Enjoyment mentality.

Nie Zhen put down the bowls and chopsticks after eating, and saw that the kitten was also sitting there motionless with eyes closed. He touched its forehead with some amusement, carried the cat into the back room, and carefully put it on the bed.

"Do cats want to take a bath together?"

Xiao Luomo opened his eyes and shook his head. It is a cat and cannot be bathed too many times. The system said that the saint had washed it today before meeting the bandit.

Nie Zhen smiled regretfully, took out a night pearl and placed it next to its paw, coaxing softly: "The cat will play by itself first, and wait for me to come back."

Xiao Luomo looked up and watched Nie Zhen walk out of the room, blinking blankly, for some reason, just for a moment, it felt that someone had said similar things to it before, and gave it a toy to coax it to wait obediently.However, when I searched the memory carefully, I found nothing.

It looked down at the delicate luminous pearl, raised its paw and patted it, pushed the pearl into the quilt, then got in and pushed the pearl out. After a while, it felt tired, climbed onto Nie Zhen's pillow and closed it obediently. Eyes, I thought it would squint for a while, and when Nie Zhen came back, it would open it.

However, when Nie Zhen, who had finished his bath, approached his bed with a pile of official documents, and was about to rest after finishing military affairs, his cat was already sleeping soundly and obediently with Ye Mingzhu in his arms, completely forgetting to wait for him to come back agreement.

The night is dark and everything is quiet.

Nie Zhen stood quietly by the bed for a while, bent down and took out the luminous pearl, put it on the side of the pillow, then hugged the kitten under the quilt, stroked its forehead slowly, and smiled slightly with downcast eyes.

"I'm falling asleep now, and I won't be able to see me when I wake up." He murmured in a low voice, "Sure enough, it's a bit of a disadvantage to come out at night. It seems that I have to find a way to get it back. What does Maomao think?"

The sleeping kitten sensed the familiar warm breath, meowed lightly, and rubbed forward unconsciously. The little cat's head was pressed against the man's palm, warm and itchy.

Nie Zhen raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction.

***

It was quiet in Prince Rui's mansion, but the palace was still singing and dancing.After Prince Rui took away the black cat, the national teachers, Zhu Ming, remained silent and only drank tea with their heads down.

He always had a look of compassion on his face, and the ministers were used to his quietness, compassion and asceticism, so they didn't feel any difference when they saw that he didn't speak at this moment.

However, the anger in Zhu Ming's heart with his head bowed had already burnt out his rationality, he clenched his fists tightly, his lowered eyes were full of disappointment and resignation.

Prince Rui's behavior was perverse and violent, he had heard about it for a long time, but he didn't expect to face him face to face today, which not only ruined his perfect plan, but also made him embarrass himself in front of Concubine Yu.Thinking of the woman he loves just now pleading for him, the pain in Zhu Ming's heart deepened a bit.

He and Concubine Yu's childhood sweethearts had been each other's only playmates since they were young. They were supposed to be happy with each other, but the emperor stepped in.While he was still struggling to learn the prophecy, Concubine Yu didn't know when she fell in love with the emperor.

After so many years of hard work, he defeated all his seniors and climbed up to the position of national teacher, but he couldn't find his favorite person when he turned around.To make matters worse, ever since the old national teacher approved the order for Prince Rui more than ten years ago and was tragically killed, he no longer has the right to prophesy independently.The most unpredictable thing in this world is God's will. He tried desperately to understand the word "fate", but he still couldn't find a glimmer of life.Now the appearance of the black cat is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, but watching the cat be taken away.

Zhu Ming stood up in a daze, went to the hall to salute and leave, no longer looking at Concubine Yu's smiling face, turned around and left without hesitation.

However, as soon as he got out of the palace gate, his dejected expression returned to normal. He didn't get on the carriage leaving the palace, he walked quickly on the path in the imperial garden, and arrived at a secret side hall in the palace in a short while.

After a while, a graceful figure stepped into the side hall and walked straight in front of him.

The visitor said with a sad expression, "You shouldn't have invited me here."

Zhu Ming clenched his hands tightly and said forbearance: "Why not? Is Empress Yufei not even willing to talk to my minister now?"

Concubine Yu burst into tears almost instantly when she heard the words, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said sadly:

"Zhu Ming, why are you bothering? You knew that I have a deep-rooted love for Your Majesty, and His Majesty also loves me very much. Let the past be over. You and I have never had a chance. I only thought of you as an elder brother, I never thought that you would... Now that you are a national teacher, your future is boundless, don't stick to the past anymore."

Zhu Ming sneered and shook his head, "After I realized my intentions, I never thought of giving up. Yu'er, one day you will see my determination."

Concubine Yu sighed and said with tears:

"I know you're stubborn and don't always listen to persuasion, but no matter what, I'm already one of His Majesty's people, and I won't empathize with you anymore. I plead for you today, and I remember how much you cared for me back then. From now on, I will no longer interfere in your affairs. Zhu Ming, as a national teacher, you still need to be cautious in your actions. You must never do something like offending Prince Rui today in the future. This is all I say ..."

Concubine Yu didn't finish her sentence, she couldn't bear to be cruel after all, she covered her face and walked out of the side hall quickly, as soon as she left the hall door, her confidant palace maid who was waiting outside rushed to help her, and carefully helped her to leave.

Zhu Ming stood in the side hall for a long time, and then dragged away until his feet felt numb.

***

The next day when it was just dawn, little Luomo woke up in a daze under the quilt. It let out a soft cry, got up and got out of the quilt, and then met a pair of deep eyes.

"Meow?" It tilted its head suspiciously, looked at the neatly dressed and handsome Nie Zhen in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and slowly stretched out a small paw towards the man.

Nie Zhen was stunned for a moment when he saw this, his thin lips were pursed tightly, and his handsome face was expressionless. He fastened his belt, stared at the cat for a while, then bent down and approached the bed, stretched out his big hand and gently held the cat. Carefully controlled the strength of the paw and rubbed it, and said in a low voice, "Sleep a little longer?"

Little Luomo nodded. It drew back its paws, lowered its head and rubbed against Nie Zhen's hand, stepped on the other's palm with two paws, and asked softly, "Meow, why don't you smile?"

However, Nie Zhen just touched its forehead with his thumb, and said in a cold and low voice, "I'm going to court, and stay in the mansion obediently. When you wake up, there will be guards to take care of you."

Little Luomo's eyes widened in surprise when he heard the words. It stood up and circled the man's hand a few times, then took a step back to look at the man's expression. Seeing that Nie Zhen was still indifferent, he nodded obediently and climbed up. Lie down on the pillow and slowly close your eyes.

Nie Zhen looked at it for a while, then straightened up and turned to leave.

As soon as he walked out of the room, his face turned completely cold. He raised his hand and spread his palm, staring at the night pearl in his palm for a moment, then slowly tightened his five fingers, put down his hand, and said indifferently: "Tell me what happened yesterday after dark. Report everything about it completely."

Hearing the sound, the shadow guard came out of the darkness, knelt down on one knee, and said with some hesitation: "The lord ordered his subordinates not to mention yesterday's events before going to sleep yesterday, even if you ask yourself. This..."

Nie Zhen frowned, looked at the shadow guard condescendingly, and asked expressionlessly: "This king really ordered you to do so yesterday?"

He pondered for a moment, and then hooked his lips in a rare way, and his expression instantly became a little wicked, but the smile was fleeting, and he returned to his indifferent appearance in the blink of an eye. , you just need to tell this king everything that happened yesterday."

After hearing the words, the shadow guard did not hesitate any longer, followed behind Prince Rui and explained the matter clearly.

Nie Zhen has been listening quietly, without expressing any opinions.He didn't stop until he was about to leave the gate of the palace and the shadow guard finished his report, and said calmly, "No matter what the king tells you at night, all orders shall be subject to the day." After he finished speaking, he strode out the door, Without any entourage, he got on his horse and left.

The shadow guard looked down at the small pile of white powder on the ground, his hands trembling slightly, he didn't stay any longer, and dodged to hide in the dark.

If he remembered correctly, that pile of powder was clearly the night pearl that Prince Rui was playing with last night.
