Stay with me, I rely on the childbearing system to get pregnant and dote on me alone

There was more than one snake in the house.

A few more were wandering down from the edge of the window.

Chajiu was so frightened that he used his hands and feet to burrow directly into Zongyue's clothes.

"I've never seen a cat playing with a snake. This is the first time I've seen a cat like you that was scared into a coward by a snake."

Zongyue teased, took Chajiu out of his clothes and put him on the bed.

He took out the long knife beside the couch and killed several snakes in the house neatly.

Only then did Cha Jiu understand how vigilant Zong Yue was.

Even if you fall asleep, you can quickly detect a snake that is almost motionless.

There are daggers and long knives always placed under the pillow and beside the couch.

He was not allowed to have any living things around him while he slept, and that was no excuse for joking.

After a while, Yun An also rushed over. When he saw the snake body chopped into several pieces in the prince's room, he turned pale and immediately knelt down.

"More than a dozen snakes slipped into Yangui Tower. My subordinates failed to clean them up in time and disturbed the prince. Please punish me!"

Zong Yue calmly wiped the blade with a white cloth and said, "Let Yunkang investigate. Clean these things up and go and receive the punishment yourself."

"Yes." Yun An was not dissatisfied.

When working around the regent, everyone is fair and rewards and punishments are clear.

This time he was negligent in his duties, and it was perfectly normal for him to be punished with fifteen lashes.

Zongyue returned to the bed and looked at a small bulge in the middle of the originally flat quilt.

The bulge shook like chaff.

It's so pitiful and cute.

Zong Yue was afraid that she would be bored, so he lifted the quilt halfway and said comfortingly: "Okay, there are no snakes now, go back to sleep."

Chajiu silently covered the opened quilt back with her paws, and continued to hide under the quilt, pretending to be invisible.

Zongyue: "...you don't want to go back to the cat's nest?"

Chajiu was silent: Who is a good person who wants to sleep in a cat's nest?

In the end Zongyue compromised.

He put the long knife back to the bedside, moved Cha Jiu and the quilt to the inside of the bed, lay down himself, and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Seeing that he no longer chased her away, Chajiu became bolder.

She walked directly to Zongyue's hand and lay down, using his warm palm as a pillow, and slept comfortably with her eyes closed.

Zongyue raised his eyes and saw that there seemed to be a cat's head on his palm.

"..."

That's it.

If you pick up a cat yourself, what else can you do if you don't tolerate it?

……

There was a cat lying next to him, and Zongyue had no intention of falling asleep.

But for some reason, listening to the cat's subtle, very regular breathing, Zongyue naturally felt a sense of relaxation and sleepiness, and unconsciously fell into a deep sleep for half an hour.

This was one of the few times he had a hearty sleep.

When he woke up, the cat that had been sleeping next to him lay on his chest at some point, breathing with its moist nose moving, sleeping soundly.

"Your Majesty." Yun Kang's voice sounded outside the door.

Zongyue gently took Chajiu off and put it on the bed, and put a corner of the quilt on her belly.

Then he put on his robe and walked silently outside.

Yun Kang revealed the information he had found: "The manager of Yujin Garden temporarily sent people to buy these snakes. He said he planned to use them to make snake soup at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet tonight. Unexpectedly, the palace people in the kitchen were not optimistic about it. Then let these snakes escape everywhere.”

Zong Yue's black robe was draped casually, and he was sitting lazily on the chair.

He rapped his knuckles on the table, his eyebrows taunting.

"The dishes for the birthday banquet were planned two months ago, and they still need to be approved by the Queen Mother. Is it the turn of a small Yujinyuan manager to change it?"

Yun Kang added: "It should have been ordered by His Majesty. The manager of Yujin Garden is also from His Majesty and the Lin family."

The Lin family is the natal family of the young emperor's biological mother, and today's Lin Guogong is the emperor's maternal ancestor.

However, the Lin family has always been mediocre and untalented, and was not reused by the late emperor during his time. It was only later that Lin Guifei was killed and sold miserably, and they sympathized with the young emperor who also lost his mother, and they won a position of Duke with little real power.

In order to win the little emperor's heart tightly to their side, the Lin family often suppressed the queen mother and the regent in private.

Therefore, the little emperor disliked and hated the two of them so much, and a big reason came from the Lin family.

At this time, a cat that had just woken up sleepily walked out of the room, slowly jumped onto the cushioned chair next to Zongyue and lay down on its stomach.

"Are you awake?" Zongyue held her in his arms, and his slender fingers slowly took care of the messy hair on her body.

"Meow..." Chajiu replied lazily.

Zongyue rubbed her fleshy chin in exchange for a painless and itchless paw.

Yun Kang pondered for a moment and then asked: "Could it be related to the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother has always been at odds with our palace, and maybe she has acquiesced in His Majesty's behavior this time."

Chajiu woke up now and howled at Yun Kang.

Don't have anything to do with the stupid things the emperor did!

Zongyue put her head in his big palm, pinched her meowing mouth, forced silence, and said:

"There is no real grudge between the Queen Mother and I. It's just that His Majesty doesn't want us to get too close, so we just do as he wishes."

When Zong Yue mentioned the Queen Mother, a serious and majestic face appeared in front of Zong Yue, who was clearly in her prime, with rigid loyalty everywhere.

Although he had some respect, he also felt sad.

Zongyue lowered his head and gently stroked Chajiu in his arms. His voice was almost inaudible: "She and I are just pawns of the late emperor."

Cha Jiu was slightly startled, and when he raised his head to look, he happened to catch a flash of self-deprecation and loneliness in his eyes.

Yun Kang didn't hear clearly: "What?"

"It's nothing." Zong Yue's tone returned to normal: "There is no need to investigate the matter of releasing the snake. Pass on my order to dismiss the manager of Yujin Garden and give him a two-hundred-person rod. The relevant persons will also be investigated and dealt with."

A rod of two hundred means killing someone.

Zongyue knew that dealing with the manager of Yujinyuan would be a slap in the face of the little emperor.

But what about this?

The injuries on Chajiu's body when he was brought back, as well as the revenge for being almost bitten by a snake just now, all need to be recovered.

Zong Yue felt that it was too easy for him to only remove a group of minions buried by the little emperor in the theater.

……

In Hanzhang Tower, the little emperor was furious.

"Zongyue, Zongyue! How dare he!"

The little emperor's face was livid, and he swept the Xiuyu incense burner on his hand to the ground.

The attendants in the palace trembled and knelt down.

Those snakes were deliberately released by his order. These were not ordinary snakes, but spiritual snakes used by wizards to find people and objects. It cost several hundred taels of gold to raise one.

If you can't search Yan Guilou in an open and honest manner, then you will send snakes in to investigate.

Who knew that Zongyue actually had all the snakes chopped to death!

Moreover, the manager of Yujin Garden and several others were also beaten to death with a cane.

At this time, Chen Lin, the youngest daughter of Lin Guogong, was still kneeling on the ground. Her husband was the manager of Yujin Garden Chen who was killed with a cane an hour ago.

Mrs. Chen Lin shed tears like rain, feeling sad.

Lin Mincong, the third son of Lin Guogong, who was supporting her, was heartbroken and angry, and scolded Zong Yue in front of the little emperor.

"Who doesn't know that Mr. Chen is the person appointed by His Majesty? But the Regent still kills as soon as he is told, killing first and then reporting, and does not take His Majesty in the slightest!"

"From what I can see, the regent's domineering and disobedient heart is clearly revealed!"
