Guo Guo raised his head, "The subordinates have something they want the master to see."

Xiao Yan looked at the blue silk package embroidered with brocade clusters, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I have something to talk about."

"Thank you, Lord!" Luo Wei got up and put the package on the table.

"Is this the package what you want to report to me?" Xiao Yan quickly looked at the package, his eyes were so sharp that he didn't miss even half of the corner.

"Yes!" When Luo Wei spoke, he carefully scanned Xiao Yan's face with the corner of his eyes.

"What's in the package?"

"The subordinate will open it, and the master will know it at a glance!"

Luo Wei took a deep breath, calmed down his anxious heart, and opened the package little by little. When the contents inside were completely exposed to Xiao Yan's eyes, his body shook suddenly.

"Yuxi?" It was just a mere word, but Luo Wei's heart froze in place as if bursting.

After a long time, he seemed to come back to his senses and forced himself to speak.

"Your Majesty is right, this is indeed the emperor's jade seal?"

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to take the jade seal, looked it over and over for a while, "Why is this thing in your hand?"

With a plop, Luo Wei fell to his knees again, "Master, you can't be so obsessed anymore, that dog emperor is the son of your enemy, you can't forget your family feud because of your personal feelings! If your father is not dead , the person sitting on that throne is you, what I am doing now is just to take back what should belong to you!"

"What did you do to the emperor?" Xiao Yan's cold voice trembled, and there was a murderous look in his black eyes.

"The scroll next to the jade seal is the imperial decree written by the emperor himself. With it, my lord—"

"I'm asking you what happened to the emperor?" Xiao Yan was furious, and quickly got out of the chair, raised his hand and slapped Luo Wei's face hard, as if feeling that this was not enough to relieve his hatred, he grabbed his collar It pushed him into a corner.

His body was hit hard against the wall, causing Luo Wei to cough several times before recovering.

"That-that dog emperor has-has gone, and will never-never come back."

Xiao Yan didn't speak, but it could be seen from his violently moving lips that he was almost pushed to the brink of collapse.

"Master---" Luo Wei shouted loudly, for the first time in his life, a tiny teardrop flashed from the corner of his eye, "I, Luo Wei, have been by your side for so many years and have been loyal to you. Could it be that he is no better than the son of an enemy now?"

Xiao Yan's hand on Luo Wei's neckline loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again, but in the end, he slowly let go of it, fell powerlessly on the side of his leg, and walked towards the door.

Luo Wei stood there in a daze, his body slowly slid down against the wall, and a strange sad smile appeared on the corners of his trembling lips.Lord, you will never find that dog emperor, never - no - you will.

That's right, as he said, in the next two months, Xiao Yan mobilized all his subordinates to search the entire Jiankang City, and even conducted a rigorous search within a radius of more than ten kilometers outside the city. The word disappointment was engraved on his heart for the first time.

In the imperial court, the emperor did not go to court for two months, which aroused dissatisfaction in the hearts of all the powerful officials, and rumors and rumors spread all over every corner of the imperial palace.

Some people said that the emperor was seriously ill and was on the verge of death.Some people also said that the emperor was haunted by ghosts and lost his mind.What's more, it is said that the emperor has been framed by others, and died of anger?

From the moment Baorong disappeared, Xiao Yan never had a peaceful night's sleep.During the day, he had to rack his brains to appease the restless mood of those ministers, saying that the emperor was just tired and needed to rest for a while, but this was just a stopgap measure, and if the time was longer, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not be killed. people found out.

Moreover, he has to be on guard from time to time for some villains who are plotting against the law, so as to avoid unnecessary turmoil in the court.

In order to deceive others, Xiao Yan could only secretly search for Bao Rong's whereabouts at night. After a whole night, when he returned to the mansion in vain, he was exhausted physically and mentally. .

The melancholy and sighing every night made many black hard beards grow on his lips.Everyone says that when a man is very drunk he forgets all his troubles, but when he is very drunk, the opposite is true.

Baorong's appearance is so clear, and he is so close to him, as if he can reach out his hand, but when he really reaches out to touch, the shadow will be like the moon in the water, and it will shatter at the touch.

Only by drinking again can Xiao Yan restore the broken shadow to its original shape. At that time, he no longer reached out to touch it, but just watched obsessively.

Where did you go, my Rong'er!

In the mountains and fields at dusk, there are pale pink summer plums all over the ground, which look extraordinarily delicate and beautiful under the reflection of the setting sun.A fifteen or six-year-old boy was running among them, with a bamboo basket on his arm, chasing two butterflies with a joyful smile on his face.

Perhaps because he felt that it was hopeless to catch butterflies, the boy turned around and walked down the mountain with a bouncing bouncing.When he reached a small hut surrounded by a fence, he shouted loudly: "Brother Yujue, I'm back!"

As soon as he pushed open the small waist-high door, he threw himself into the arms of the man who had just walked out.

The man raised a doting smile, and stroked the top of the boy's head with his big hand, "Where did you go for fun today, let's see where the sun has gone, why are you only coming back now."

"Hey hey──" the young man laughed twice, and lifted the bamboo basket in his hand, "Look, these flowers look good, I picked them in the back mountain, I think, if I put these flowers on Brother Chu Xi's bedside, it will be so beautiful." Maybe his illness will be cured soon."

The sadness on Xiao Yujue's face was fleeting. He wiped the sweat from Baorong's forehead, took the basket in his hand, and looked at the pale flowers, with a faint sullen look on his face.

"How many times have I said that the back mountain is very dangerous, and there are often wild beasts infesting it, telling you not to go, why are you so disobedient and still run there!"

"Doesn't the beast only appear at night? It doesn't come out during the day, and I will be very careful when I go there. There are really many beautiful flowers there. I just want to pick some back, and, look, I Isn't it good now?"

Xiao Yujue sighed, he had absolutely no resistance to Baorong's usual coquettish way of acting towards him.

"I know you're talkative! Alright, go wash your hands first, dinner is about to start!"

"Well, I got it!" Bao Rong responded, and quickly ran towards a dilapidated iron basin next to the hut.

Xiao Yujue looked at him twice, then walked into the hut.

There are two compartments in the thatched hut, a square wooden table and three chairs are placed in the outer room, and beside it is a bed made of bricks, covered with only a thin layer of mattress.

After Xiao Yujue placed the bowls and chopsticks, she walked into the door on the left.

There are two beds in the room, the one on the left is empty, and the one on the right is half-lying a man in a trance, his eyes are unfocused looking forward, there is no trace of expression on his handsome face, If it wasn't for the breath that could be felt under the nose, everyone would probably think that he──was already dead.

Xiao Yujue went to the bed and sat down. The doting gaze just now had disappeared from the end of his pupils, replaced by the tenderness and affection that can only be seen between lovers. He raised his hand and gently scattered him around A few strands of hair on the forehead were gathered behind the ears, and he said softly: "Are you hungry? Today, I made your favorite fried pork with chopped green onion. Also, Baorong went to the back mountain today to pick a big one for you. Come back with a pile of summer plums, and say that after you see these flowers, your illness will be cured!"

The person half lying on the bed remained expressionless.

Xiao Yujue smiled lightly, tucked in the quilt, got up and walked outside.

At this time, Bao Rong was already sitting on the chair, looking at the three bowls of delicious rice, he licked his lips excitedly, and quickly put some big pieces of meat into the bowls, but instead of eating by himself, he got up and went to In front of Xiao Yujue, he handed the bowl to him.

"Brother Chu Xi likes fried pork with chopped green onion the most. If he sees such delicious and fatty meat, he will be very happy!"

Xiao Yujue was stunned for a moment, and immediately pushed the bowl back with a smile.

"You, sit back on the chair and eat obediently for me. You are growing up now, so eat more!"

"But—"

"Okay, nothing is necessary!" Xiao Yujue pushed Baorong back into the chair, sat down beside him, and put a few more pieces of meat in his bowl, "Eat more, eat more in the pot." besides."

Bao Rong pouted, took a bite of meat and chewed it in his mouth.

"Well, it's delicious!"

"Eat more if it tastes good!" He looked at Bao Rong with a happy smile on his face.

Later, when Xiao Yujue walked out of the room carrying half a bowl of rice, she saw Bao Rong sitting alone in the yard.At this time, the sky was dark, and the vast black sky was full of stars.

He gently put the bowl on the table, walked out of the room, came behind Bao Rong, and caught a glimpse of a purse in those small hands.

"What are you thinking about? You're so preoccupied that you didn't even realize I was standing behind you for so long."

Baorong seemed to be frightened, his body shook suddenly, and he tried to hide the purse with his hands in a panic, but because he was too nervous, the purse fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to pick it up behind him, Xiao Yujue picked it up before him.

(0.36 coins) You like him!

Bao Rong was suddenly startled into a cold sweat, and his face turned pale. He stood up suddenly, and wanted to reach for it, but unexpectedly, his hand stopped halfway inexplicably.
