I am a cat in the palace

"Your Majesty, a letter from the Duke." Wan Luo walked up to the Queen with a letter, and handed the letter to the Queen respectfully.

Wanluo looked at the queen very worriedly. Since the birth of the queen, the queen has suffered from illnesses, and her body is uncomfortable in winter. Everyone knows this, but she has never seen a queen like this before. Ever since the second prince got married After that, her whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, and even her eyes didn't have a trace of light.

Wanluo vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong, even if the second prince's marriage was not as she wished, it wouldn't be so.

She thought about it repeatedly, but she couldn't help thinking of the eve of the second prince's wedding. The queen went to visit the second prince, but temporarily ordered her to follow the four dumb slaves. After she came back, the queen concealed that it was the four The mute slave was sent by her to the second prince's side. It seems that the empress's problems started from that night, not the second prince's wedding.

What the hell happened that night?

Wanluo lost her mind after thinking about it, until the queen coughed lightly in displeasure, and she suddenly came back to her senses.

"What are you thinking about? Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. I'm going back to Wei Guogong's mansion and I'll go with me to ask the emperor."

Qinghui Hall of Qingyang Palace

"The empress will return to Ning tomorrow." Jian Gui came in and reported to Concubine Duan in a low voice.

Concubine Duan raised her eyes to Jiangui when she heard the words, "Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and King Zhen is going out of the palace too."

Concubine Duan's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words, and she clenched her fists involuntarily, "Tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow is the best chance."

"Do you really want to do it?"

"The emperor has already made up his mind. If it hadn't been for the postponement of the imperial court, the imperial decree would have been issued by now. But the decree for Prince Zhen to leave the capital is already being drawn up. Once the matter of King Zhen's departure from the capital is confirmed, the candidate for the crown prince will follow. Announce that it will be too late if you try to do anything at that time. The word orthodoxy is not so easy to overthrow."

"But..." Concubine Duan felt a little out of breath, she subconsciously fiddled with her armor again, but her hand was quickly grabbed.

"No, but, success or failure depends on one move. If we don't do anything, we will have only a dead end." Jian Gui squatted down, stared at Concubine Duan eye to eye, and held her hand tightly, "We gave up everything back then. , isn't it because of that seat that you insist on entering this palace? Think about Shang Xuan, think about our future, if Shang Xuan ascends the throne, he is still young, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be in charge of the government. His identity is facing the court, and he is truly above tens of thousands of people."

Concubine Duan couldn't help getting excited when she saw Gui's words, her face flushed, "I...but, I'm still... a little scared..."

"What are you afraid of? It's been so long, who has found out what? Now, all you need to do is to increase the dose of the medicine. The old stuff has been exhausted for many years. It's just because he has been hesitating about the successor before, holding on to that breath and refusing to fall down, but we can't let him hold on to this breath any longer, if we hold on, we will have no way to survive."

"Yes, you are right. What are we going to plunge into this palace to die? When I become the empress dowager above tens of thousands of people, I will make you a nine-thousand-year-old, let Shang Xuan Let's call you dad!"

Hearing Gui's words, the expression on his face that had always been calm became a little excited. He hugged Concubine Duan and wrapped his arms around her waist tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body fiercely.

Concubine Duan raised her head slightly and looked at Jian Gui, her face was also full of confusion and intoxication.

"I'm going out of the palace to contact my eldest brother. As soon as the palace got it, he immediately asked his left guard to cooperate with us. First, he surrounded the second prince's mansion and Duke Wei's mansion, and then sent people to arrest King Zhen. The private soldiers of Duke Wei's mansion did not At least, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle at that time. They will definitely send someone to find a way to rescue the second prince. We have to make a comprehensive plan. As for the little boy of King Zhen, he won't have too many people around him. It would be too much trouble."

"Daxian, let's go together at Lantern Festival tomorrow." Shang Xin poked Daxian's buttocks little by little with his fingers, leaving little finger marks one after another on the thick and soft hair.

Daxian had no objection, and said lazily, "Okay!"

Shang Xin felt that Daxian didn't understand his meaning correctly.

"Daxian, I mean, let's go together, go to the Lantern Festival together." Shang Xin emphasized, biting the word "shopping" very hard.

Daxian flicked his tail and opened Shang Xin's hand, turned his head and looked at Shang Xin puzzled, "Didn't I tell you? When did you become so talkative at such a young age?"

"Oh, what I mean is, you have become a human, let's go to see the lamp together." For some reason, every time Shang Xin persuaded the immortal to transform into a human, he felt a little embarrassed, and always felt that there was something hidden in his heart. But he couldn't say it out, but somehow he felt that he wanted to be with the human-shaped immortal more than the cat-shaped immortal, but once he thought about it, he felt a little sorry for the cat-shaped immortal... obviously they were all immortals , he didn't understand what foolishness he was committing.

Daxian lay on Shang Xin's pillow, while licking his hair fragrantly, he quickly and firmly threw two words to Shang Xin: "No!"

"Ah? Why? Why not?" Shang Xin took off his clothes and climbed onto the bed, lay down on his side and looked closely at Daxian. From this distance, he could almost see through Daxian's clear golden pupils.

"No reason, stay away from me, I'm going to be blinded by you." Daxian stretched out his claws in disgust to touch Shang Xin's approaching face.

"Hey, don't push, don't push, I'll just take a look." Shang Xin turned her head and refused to move back, one person and one cat were crowded on the same pillow, and no one would move back, of course Daxian didn't want to move The reason is because he was too lazy to move, he just warmed up that piece.

"The Lantern Festival is very lively, and there are many delicious things, don't you want to try it? There is also grilled fish." Shangxin's mind flashed, and his thoughts opened up instantly, and he began to talk eloquently to Daxian about the Lantern Festival. There will be all kinds of delicious food.

Daxian's eyes widened instantly. After hearing so many delicious foods, the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became. When it was said that there were hawkers on the street who would find live fish to roast and sell, Daxian suddenly jumped He jumped up and bit Shang Xin's arm with a whimper.

"Hiss... it hurts, it hurts... I'll cut it for you, it hurts to bite."

"It's faster this way." Daxian bit two thin teeth, sucked a mouthful of Shang Xin's blood, slid into Shang Xin's bed, and waited until Shang Xin found the medicine to wrap the wound and came back , lying in his blanket is already the cat-eared boy who can show two small canine teeth when he smiles.

Shang Xin immediately jumped onto the bed, and then got into the bed.

"Ah, it's so cold, ah, go away! Go away!" Daxian kicked him.

Shang Xin got out of bed without wearing thick clothes. Although the house was burning with earth dragons, Shang Xin only wore a thin coat with sleeves rolled up and tossed about for a long time, her hands and feet were already freezing cold.

As soon as he went to bed, he habitually hugged Daxian's warm body. Daxian thought that it was time to sleep anyway, so he didn't bother to get up to find clothes, and just lay naked in the bed like that. Who knew that suddenly He was entangled by Shang Xin's icy hands and feet, and he shrank into a ball in the ice, screaming and kicking at the same time, trying to kick the big ice cube out of the quilt with all his strength.

It's a pity that without using spiritual power, Daxian's combat power level is not even comparable to that of His Majesty the Cat. Without the extremely deterrent sharp claws, Shang Xin can pin him under the blanket in minutes.

"Meow - I will never become a human again next time, I want to grow hair!"

The Second Prince's Mansion.

"Has the staff been arranged?" The second prince bent his knuckles and tapped on the table.

Meng Dang, who was standing beside him, nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the black guards have sent half of the men there, and there will be no mistakes."

"If you miss again this time, you don't want to be the manager. I'll go get someone else who can do it." The second prince said coldly.

But Mengdang's back suddenly burst into white sweat. Thinking about it, if the second prince really wanted to change him, it would definitely not be as simple as just replacing his position as the manager. He knew too many things. If the second prince If he doesn't plan to use him again, it means that his life has come to an end.

"Also, didn't the palace send someone to deliver a letter just now? It said that the queen will return to Wei Guogong's mansion tomorrow to visit relatives. For such a big matter, I have to go to Wei Guogong's mansion to show my face. You can ask later Concubine, let's see if she wants to go to Duke Wei's mansion with me tomorrow. In the evening, I can take her to see the Lantern Festival together. By the way, I can send her brother off. After all, Prince Mingrui is going back to Liang after the Lantern Festival. .”

Meng Dang, who was still in a cold sweat, suddenly heard the second prince say such warm words, he was a little surprised, he really didn't expect his ancestor to be so careful.

But looking back, apart from knowing that this patriarch was a ghost trapped in the dead jade for three or four hundred years, he actually knew nothing about his comings and goings and what kind of temperament he was when he was alive.

"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival." The old emperor in Xingde Palace was eating porridge, and the small bowl had already bottomed out.

He felt that after using the medicine for a few days, the feeling of distress in his chest was much lighter, and his cough seemed to be a little lighter, so his mood and appetite are good today.

"Yeah, I heard it's very lively outside."

Chang An took the empty bowl from the old emperor's hand with a smile, intending to scoop a little more out of the purple sand bowl, but was stopped by the old emperor: "I've eaten a lot today, and I won't be able to fall asleep if I eat any more."

"I still remember that when I was a prince, I always went out to have a look at Lantern Festival every year. At that time, you, Chang Xing, Chang Xiang, and Chang Lin were all fighting for the chance to go out with me every time. , At that time, you didn’t have any grades on your body. If you want to go out, if you don’t have me with you, you won’t be able to get out of the palace. Therefore, when the Lantern Festival comes, you are eagerly looking forward to going out with me to see the excitement. It’s just—— Xiang blocked a knife for me and died, and Chang Lin was tripped and beaten to death, hey? Could it be that since that year, I have never been to the Lantern Festival again?" The old emperor asked suddenly.

Chang An was silent.

The old emperor seemed to just ask casually, Chang An didn't reply, and he didn't care, and then continued: "Since I took this position, I haven't even stepped out of the palace gate, and I haven't seen that lively scene again. .”

At this moment, Chang An finally answered the words: "Go ahead, after the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the imperial court will start. The emperor is so busy with so many things, how can he have time to watch those excitements. If the emperor wants to watch, wait until next year when you are healthy again." , let’s take the old slave out to have a look again, and bring Chang Xing along, this time, we promise not to quarrel.”

Hearing the words, the old emperor couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, and at the same time pointed at Chang An with a finger, "You're too old, if you quarrel again, I will punish you two to each suffer thirty boards."

"Yes, what the emperor said is true, but if the old slave really quarrels with Chang Xing again, he must be angry with him. That guy, with a simple face and a bad belly, keeps playing tricks on the old slave." Chang An Softly plead.

"He also said that he looks stupid and has a bad stomach, so who is giving him eye drops in front of me right now? You are not a good person either." The old emperor pointed at Chang An and scolded with a smile.

Seeing the old emperor laughing, Chang An also laughed, but when he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
