bad

The white cat quietly curled up on the window eaves, and through the gap between the two casements, its eyes fell on Xu Boyuan in the crowd.

He watched for a long time, Xu Boyuan obviously didn't notice his gaze, or he actually noticed it, but he didn't care.Because in their eyes, he is just a monster who can't speak, no different from an ordinary house cat or a wild tiger in the mountains.

A shadow was cast over his head, and the white cat had already smelled that person, but he didn't want to talk to him.

"You're injured." Standing behind him, Sitong completely pushed open the window in front of him, and the sky was bright for a moment, making the white cat squint its eyes.

Sitong smiled happily, "Why, did you quarrel with him?"

The white cat stood up, trying to avoid the man.He knew what he was going to say, all he wanted was to persuade him to betray Ying Zhou.

Sitong suddenly stretched out his hand, and pressed his back with a cold hand!

"Meow--!"

The white cat immediately frowned, bared its teeth, and turned its head to bite, but Sitong exerted force on his hand, as if his body weighed a thousand tons, and the white cat was forced to sit down on the spot.

Sitong put his slender fingers between his pale lips, "Shh - your master is trying to save someone, so don't disturb him."

The white cat's golden eyes subconsciously glanced at the person sitting beside the dragon bed. The person was closing his eyes and pressing his palm on the emperor's forehead. It seemed that the situation was not very good. He could clearly see Ying Zhou's frowning eyebrows, and Gently trembling eyelashes.

"You are not clearly injured, I can heal your injuries." Si Tong said, "After all, he won't be able to take care of you for a while."

The white cat stared at him, expressing its resistance with a hoarse moan between its lips.

Sitong didn't care about his reaction, he injected a wave of demon power into his body, and as his muscles and bones penetrated, he touched the white cat's dantian, and wiped away the demon core that was split in the middle, and gradually healed the gap up.

Sitong let him go, "Look, this is very easy for me, even your master can't do it."

The white cat immediately jumped up, its whole body tensed up, and the golden eyes shrunk into a straight line.

Sitong smiled and said, "Why are you so wary of me? I have already shown my sincerity in cooperating with you, don't you understand?"

The white cat turned around and wanted to leave.

Sitong looked at the back of him jumping off the window sill nimbly, and said: "He has hurt you so far for mortals, completely disregarding the friendship you have been with for many years, why are you so devoted to him? Baihu, the demon power in your body is not inferior to yours. Father, you are enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with any of our kings, why do you want to condescend yourself to such a form? Are you willing?"

The front foot of the white cat paused for a moment, and then fell steadily.

Sitong smiled but said, "What you know as treasures, your master may not cherish them as much as you do. In his heart, you are no more important than that mortal."

The white cat didn't stay any longer and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Sitong stood with his hands behind his back, and said the last sentence, "You will understand this soon."

Spring begins in February, and new greenery has gradually sprouted. Soon after, it will be the time when spring returns to the earth and the wind warms and the flowers bloom.

He squinted his eyes to appreciate the vitality under the warm sun, and suddenly noticed a gaze falling on him, so he looked back and met Xu Boyuan more than ten steps away.

Xu Boyuan looked at him carefully, maybe he saw the scene where he was talking to the white cat, Sitong lowered his head and saluted him.

He was dressed as a servant in the palace, and it was very common to bow to the prince, but when he looked up again, Xu Boyuan had already looked away.

"The emperor! The emperor is awake!"

There was an exclamation from the inner hall behind him, Sitong curled his lips, closed the casement, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

He is very satisfied with the status quo, could not be more satisfied.

Everything is in order and is proceeding slowly but smoothly.

It won't be long before the network can be closed.

The emperor woke up and sent a message that he wanted to see Xu Boyuan.

When Xu Boyuan stepped into the hall, everyone, except Ying Zhou, Xu Li, Concubine Li Hui, the imperial physician, and the servants, all stayed in the outer hall.

Xu Li had a strange expression on his face, and raised his chin inward.

Xu Boyuan nodded and walked in.

Ying Zhou was sitting at the end of the bed, talking softly to the emperor who was lying flat on the bed.

Hearing his footsteps, their conversation stopped abruptly, Ying Zhou looked up at him, then stood up, stepped back a few steps, and gave up the seat in front of the bed.

The meaning of that action was obviously that the emperor had something to say and asked Xu Boyuan to go forward.

The emperor turned his head with difficulty on the collapsed bed. Xu Boyuan was surprised to find that the emperor's hair was nearly half white, and his naked skin was wrinkled. In the meantime, he was more than ten years old.

He looked at Ying Zhou who was standing aside, and asked what was going on with his eyes, Ying Zhou shook his head.

"...Bo Yuan, come here." The emperor said with difficulty and hoarsely, "Come before me."

Xu Boyuan had no choice but to step forward and kneel on one knee where the bed collapsed a step away.

The emperor paused for a long time, and Xu Boyuan could feel his gaze, which was always on top of his head, as if he wanted to see through him.

"Bo Yuan," the emperor said slowly, "I'm sorry for your father..."

Xu Boyuan raised his head in surprise, "Your Majesty?"

"Your father is very good. The former emperor... always praised him." The emperor was a little out of breath, his chest heaved violently a few times, and then he continued, "If it hadn't been for something wrong with him, the throne would not be my turn. .”

Xu Boyuan's hand on his knee suddenly tightened.

He never thought that one day he would hear such words from the mouth of the emperor, how did King Yu die, and the person lying on the bed, no one knew better than him.

A cloudy tear flowed from the emperor's eyes, "You are very similar to him."

Xu Boyuan gritted his teeth before he controlled his expression, "I dare not be a minister."

"You deserve it," the emperor turned his head back, looking at the bright yellow dragon-patterned curtain above his head, he felt dazzling, "You deserve it."

Xu Boyuan didn't understand what he meant.

The emperor closed his eyes, and murmured: "I'm tired... I'm tired, National Teacher, I need to sleep for a while..."

Ying Zhou walked over, bent down, and pressed his fingertips on the emperor's forehead.

The emperor's voice gradually weakened, "You go with him too, and I will call you after I have prepared everything..."

Ying Zhou said: "Okay."

The two went to pick up Xu Jingluan together.

At that time Xu Jingluan was playing chess with Yun Xi, it was the time of life and death, when she saw Xu Boyuan and Ying Zhou coming, she didn't raise her head for a second, staring at the chessboard with bitter hatred on her face.

Yunxi was very happy, and jumped up after throwing the chess piece, "The tiger is back!"

After finishing speaking, she looked around, "Hey, where is Mr. Bai?"

Ying Zhou said: "He's nearby, don't worry. Are you alright?"

Yunxi smiled and said: "Don't worry! The tiger sent a letter last night to let me guard the princess. I haven't left even a single step, nothing happened!"

Ying Zhou knew her character, so she didn't really worry too much. Yun Xi looked playful and lively, but she was very careful in doing things, otherwise Dong Nan wouldn't let her come down to help.

Xu Jingluan, who still doesn't know what happened, raised her ears and grasped the point, "Last night? Watch me? What's going on? Did something happen?"

Xu Boyuan glanced at the chess game on the table, Xu Jingluan's black pieces were defeated, and the number of white pieces was very similar to that of Ying Zhou.

He withdrew his gaze and said, "I'll talk to you when I get back to the mansion."

Xu Jingluan also threw away the chess piece and said, "Let's go, let's go, let's talk on the way."

She took Xu Boyuan's arm to go out, but Ying Zhou and Yun Xi followed behind her, Xu Jingluan turned her head and said strangely: "Ying Zhou, where are you going? Fengxian Palace is not in this direction."

Ying Zhou said: "We are also going out of the palace."

"Going out of the palace? It's getting dark, what are you doing out of the palace?"

"Hmm..." Ying Zhou hesitated, "Go to the palace for a light meal?"

"Huh?" Xu Jingluan's eyes widened.

Ying Zhou rubbed his nose, looked at Xu Boyuan, and said, "The emperor asked me to follow you."

Xu Boyuan paused, "You want to go back to the palace with me?"

Ying Zhou was a little embarrassed, "Is it okay?"

Xu Boyuan finally understood what the emperor said to Zhou at the end, "You too" meant what it meant.

"Of course!" Xu Jingluan's eyes lit up, and she rushed ahead of Xu Boyuan and said excitedly, "Are you going back to the mansion for one night? Or for a few days? Or don't you need to go back to the palace?!"

Ying Zhou thought for a while and said, "I don't think I need to go back to the palace for now..."

"Okay, okay!" Xu Jingluan cheered, and immediately abandoned Xu Boyuan, crawled to Ying Zhou's side, took Ying Zhou's arm with one hand, and Yun Xi's with the other, and dragged the two of them forward together, saying as they walked , "Your house is always reserved for you, you can live in it for as long as you want!"

Her smile was undisguised, the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably, her eyes were filled with bright light, Ying Zhou was infected by her eagerness, and his depressed mood for the past few days finally eased a little.
