I am a cat in the palace

"How is Your Highness?"

"It's still burning. It's been three days. It's been repeated. It's good for a while after the medicine is poured, but it burns up again after a while. I'm really anxious."

"Where is Daxian, have you found it?"

"Not yet, it's been so cold these past few days that the ice in Jinghu Lake has been frozen again. Although the emperor has rewarded him with great rewards, but look at the chaos in the palace now, how many people are willing to go to the place where people are frozen to death?" Looking for a cat at the bottom of the lake? Besides...it's been three days, and even if I find it, I'm afraid..."

"Hey, how did this happen? How could the assassins sneak into the ice play conference? The emperor has dealt with many people in the past few days. I heard that the gold brick floor at the entrance of Wumen has been killed, but the mastermind has not been found out. , it looks like the Chinese New Year is coming, I'm afraid this year will be sad for An Sheng."

"No matter how difficult this year is, we still have to pass it. Well, the time has come. I'll send the medicine to His Highness. You go to the door and guard it. Manager Fu said that Mr. Wei will come later."

"Hey, good!"

The atmosphere in Yongshan Palace was very oppressive and dull. The palace people walked on tiptoe when they came and went, and lowered their voices when they spoke, for fear that the noise would disturb the sick master.The third prince, Shangxin, was attacked by an assassin and was first wounded by a knife, and then fell into a frozen lake. After being rescued, he had a high fever repeatedly. He was so anxious that Mrs. Chen burst into tears and Chief Fu jumped, causing the entire Yongshan Palace to be filled with gloom.

"It's burning again?" Fulin raised the curtain and entered the room, frowning and asked Mrs. Chen who was guarding the bed.

"Yeah, it's okay during the day, and I even fed a few mouthfuls of porridge at noon, but I was still groggy, and you see, it started to burn again in the afternoon." Mrs. Chen said, her eye circles became red again. .

"Don't worry. Didn't Mr. Wei say that your highness is suffering from injuries, bleeding a lot, and the cold and evil entering the body, which makes you have repeated high fevers. It's just that your highness is weak now, so you can't use strong medicine. I can slowly regulate and force the cold and evil spirit out of the body. Adong has been counting the time for the past few days. I think the burning time today is an hour later than yesterday, which shows that His Highness's condition is slowly getting better. , as long as you take good medicine and rest, it will be cured in a few days. Ma'am, we have to be steady this time, and we can't let those people with ulterior motives take advantage of the loopholes." A piece of cold handkerchief was wrung out from the silver basin held by the court lady and handed to Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen took the handkerchief silently, and replaced the cloth towel that had become warm on Shang Xin's forehead, with a flash of determination in her eyes: "No more! I just hope that the emperor will find out who is responsible for this poisonous hand sooner. They cannot be spared lightly!"

Hearing Mrs. Chen's words, Fulin fell into silence.

"Ma'am, Mr. Wei is here." Just at this time, a little palace maid came in to report through the curtain.

"Please!"

After cleaning his hands, he took Shang Xin's pulse carefully, and touched his armpit again, Wei Yin nodded, "See you, just be careful not to catch a cold again, and change your sweaty clothes in time, I will Adjust the prescription again, and it is estimated that the fever will completely subside in two days."

"Thank God, it's thanks to you being here this time. Now in this palace, we really don't even dare to invite an imperial physician." Mrs. Chen watched Wei Yin finish his consultation, and carefully put her hand back for her Highness. After tucking in the quilt, I felt a burst of ironing in my heart, I just felt that the master the emperor had found for His Highness the Third Highness couldn't be more appropriate.

Wei Yin sat on Shangxin's bedside and pondered for a moment, then told Mrs. Chen and Fulin: "Your Highness is seriously ill this time. Although the knife in the back of the heart didn't hurt the vitals, it pierced deeply. After soaking in the frozen lake for a long time, I choked into the lake water again. Although I have gradually recovered, my body is still very weak, and I will not be able to withstand the second storm. On weekdays, I have to work hard for Madam and Manager Fu, especially for His Highness. You have to pay special attention to your diet and medicine, and you must not make any mistakes."

"Mr. Wei, don't worry, we must take care of you carefully. His Highness's medicines and food are arranged by the most trustworthy people from the emperor's dark guard camp to take care of them directly. If something goes wrong again, this old slave can only I apologize with death." Fulin said as he glanced at the little master who was lying on the bed flushed with fever, his hands were tightly twisted together, and a vein burst out on the back of his hand.

"Great Immortal... Great Immortal... come back..."

Wei Yin was sitting at the table revising the prescription when he heard the young man's weak ravings in the bed curtain.

"His Highness has been calling Daxian in his mouth for the past few days, day and night non-stop..."

"It was the Daxian who saved Shang Xin's life. If the Daxian hadn't blinded the assassin, the knife on Shang Xin's body might have pierced his heart." Wei Yin said softly.

"The Great Immortal is really a civet cat. Presumably he was instructed by the Concubine Zhen, not to mention the matter of giving birth to the Empress back then, but only that His Highness has grown up to this day. For so many years, the Great Immortal has hardly left His Highness's side. All these years, How many dangers he has resolved for His Highness, the case of the nurse being poisoned, and the time when the snake was encountered in the garden... These years, he has guarded His Highness like a person, no! He is more responsible than a person. Now for Your Highness, for His Highness, he really risked his life, those people, those assassins who killed thousands of swords. Huh..." Mrs. Chen stood by Shang Xin's bed and talked about the Great Immortal. Shang Xin rested, but tightly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, but could only let the tears roll down, while Fu Lin and the palace servant standing close to him couldn't help lowering their heads and secretly wiped the corners of their eyes.

"Great Immortal, Great Immortal... come back..."

In the mist, I heard a thin and thin call, come back, where did you come back from?I wanted to open my eyes, but my eyelids seemed to be glued, and I couldn't open them. I wanted to support my body, but the bones in my whole body seemed to be brittle, and I couldn't use any strength. I have lived for hundreds of years now, and it seems that I have never felt such pain before. My dull thoughts slowed down and slowed down for a long time, and my mind gradually became clearer. After a while, I finally managed to open my eyes.

The night was dark, and the surroundings were empty, and the moonlight in the sky was still bright, but the dry and cold north wind kept whistling past my ears, rustling the frozen icicles on my hair tips.full moon?I was stunned, the Bingxi Conference is the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, how could it be a full moon at night?

Although this is a question worthy of further study, almost immediately, I threw this question to the back of my mind, because more questions flooded into my almost frozen head-I was about to freeze to death!What about meat?What about the ondol?Why am I lying in this damn place with ice?I looked around, but as soon as I turned my head, I heard a crackling sound all over my body, it was the sound of ice balls being crushed and falling off.I tried to get up, but as soon as my left front paw touched the ground, I gritted my teeth in pain. The position of the left front blade hurt so badly, it may be because of a bone injury, and the whole paw couldn't use force at all—it seems that I have to be a three-legged cat for a while. up.

I thought dejectedly, opened my eyes and looked around, a little at a loss, where is this?Why am I here?And why are you hurt?There seems to be a blank space in my mind that I can't fill in. The last memory is that Rourou took me to the ice shooting rink of the Ice Games... Meow, what happened next?Why can't I remember what happened afterwards?How did I end up in this grass nest, still covered in icicles?Could it be that Rourou lost me?I just wanted to get angry when my mind turned here, but when I turned around and thought about it, I felt that the possibility was not high. My intuition told me that something must have happened at the Bingxi Conference. Maybe I was injured because of...

I didn't care if I could only use three legs to jump up, and immediately got out of the withered grass nest with a head of ice balls on it. When I looked around, I was surprised to find that I was waiting for Yuelin. on the side.Why are you here?I muttered a little in my heart, but was blown by a gust of cold wind, and shivered from the cold.Just when I was about to walk back with a limp, suddenly——

"Cha, cha, cha, cha..." There was a sudden sound of stepping on the snow from a distance, and someone came...

who?My heart moved, and I shrank back into the grass nest where I was nesting.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you, you called me here, yes, yes..." A little eunuch's flustered voice came from not far away.

"Shut up, my hall called you here because I have something to do for you."

Second prince?I raised my head and glanced at the moon rising above the mid-heaven, and my heart suddenly moved.The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. The two walked seven or eight steps away from me and plunged into the moon-waiting forest. I also followed quietly with my limp legs.

"Your Highness, what exactly do you want this servant to do?" The timid little eunuch's voice trembled again.

This time the second prince didn't reprimand him any more, but his voice became softer and gentler: "Go and help me dig a hole under that tree."

"Ah? Digging... digging a hole?" The little eunuch was dumbfounded, "But, the servant did not bring a shovel." The little eunuch looked under the tree in a bit of embarrassment.

"Dig with your hands!" The second prince's voice suddenly became violent, and he raised his foot and kicked the little eunuch's hind legs, and the little eunuch knelt down under the big tree with a bang.

How could the little eunuch dare to disobey the second prince's order, and he didn't dare to get up after kneeling down, so he just knelt on the ground like that, and really scraped up the slush under the tree with his hands.When the moon forest was in the shade, the heavy snow that fell some time ago had already frozen into hard snow and ice beside the tree roots, and it was very strenuous to scrape it piece by piece.Just when the little eunuch was picking up the hair seriously, he grabbed his hair with one hand, and immediately saw a cold blue light flashing across his throat, and he didn't even have time to let out a sound of surprise. Phew, the unsuspecting little eunuch was already lying on the ground.

The paw that I was already lifting couldn't help rubbing it and then suddenly retracting it, ouch!It hurt so much that I almost cried out!This little bastard is really cruel. Through the moonlight penetrating through the sparse branches and leaves, I saw the little eunuch lying on the ground rolling his eyes, clasping his neck tightly with his hands, There was blood gurgling out continuously, he opened his mouth wide, but there could only be a hoarse gasping sound of "ho ho" in his throat, obviously the throat was cut by a knife.

Just at this time, there was another sound of footsteps outside the forest, but this time the sound of footsteps was heavy and hurried, and the person seemed to be running all the way.

The second prince didn't seem to hear the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer outside the forest, but greedily looked at the blood gurgling from the little eunuch's throat, and even licked the corners of his lips with a look of hunger, and then slammed He jumped on the little eunuch's body, pulled away the little eunuch's hands, opened his mouth and bit towards the wound on the little eunuch's neck.There was a sound of sucking and swallowing, and I could hear the chills running down my spine, and I forced the frozen ice on the tip of my hair to freeze back again.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you there?" The hurried footsteps stopped abruptly outside the forest, and then a soft shout came in. The ugly and familiar voice of the eunuch, I immediately recognized that it was Meng Dang bamboo pole.

The second prince next to the tree root was still lying on the little eunuch's neck sucking blood, the little eunuch was basically motionless, only his hands and feet twitched occasionally, his immature face was pale and frightening under the blue moonlight.

Seeing that there was no movement inside, Mengdang walked into the forest cautiously with his hands and feet shrunk. After getting used to the darkness in the forest, he quickly noticed the movement not far in front of him. When he saw clearly the actions of that thin yellow figure, His neck couldn't help shrinking fiercely, and deep fear appeared in his eyes.

"Dian... no, old, old ancestor, you, what are you doing?" Mengdang's voice trembled a little.

"I can't count on you, so I have to do it myself." Stained with blood all over his face, the second prince raised his head with a sinister smile from the eunuch's bloody throat since he was a child.

"This—this is the little five..."

"Is it called Xiao Wuzi? Hehe, I forgot to ask him just now. I just noticed that he has just cleansed. The energy of Yuanyang in his body has not dissipated, and the taste is good." The second prince lowered his head again, facing the still The bleeding wound sucked in a few more mouthfuls.

"Ouch! Ouch..." Meng Dang couldn't help retching due to the intense blood and extremely shocking scenes, but he just opened his mouth, and he quickly covered his mouth tightly. Poor me accidentally saw him The constantly rolling throat almost couldn't help but vomit out.

It took a long time for the second prince to get up from the shriveled corpse of the young eunuch as if contented.Mengdang let go of the hand covering his mouth, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and leaned forward to speak, I saw a cloud of white mist gradually appearing on the body of the little eunuch, but before the mist gathered into shape, Several strands of black air suddenly gushed out from the second prince's mouth and nose, and all the white mist was wrapped in it in a tumbling surge. After about half a quarter of an hour, the black air slowly penetrated back to the second prince. In his mouth and nose, but the glowing white mist swallowed by the black mist has disappeared without a trace.

While the black air was coming in and out, the second prince was as if frozen, and just stood there blankly, without even moving his eyeballs.

Blood sucking, soul devouring... If, as I expected, there are hundreds of corpses hidden in the moon forest, but there is no remnant soul, then I will know that this must not be done by ordinary people.It’s just——I tried to move, hiss~~ It’s a pity that I’m injured now, otherwise, this would be a perfect opportunity, when the cloud of black energy left the second prince’s body, I would have a chance to kill it up.

"Huh—" After all the black air penetrated back into the second emperor's mouth and nose, the prince's body slowly moved again.He let out a long breath, then pulled up a corner of the little eunuch's skirt, calmly wiped the cold dagger in his hand, put it into the sheath and put it back into the sleeve pocket, with familiar and smooth movements.

"Old Ancestor..." Mengdang didn't dare to speak up until now.

"I'll leave the rest to you. Clean it up so that no one can see it." After saying that, the second prince turned around and left Waiting for Yuelin.

Standing beside the young eunuch's corpse, Mengdang's face was extremely ugly, he turned his head and stretched out his hand towards the second prince's back, but he still didn't dare to speak.

I looked up at the moon sky again, the full moon-fifteen.
