Nine Deaths Become Immortals [Rebirth]

In the darkness of night, no one noticed a gray cat sneaking in.

Bai Ze landed lightly on the ground without making any sound. He paused for a moment, then ran towards the place where the maid lived.He was very worried about that little girl, so innocent, so fragile... He was afraid that she would die if she was not careful.

Running as if no one was around was the only benefit of being an animal, no matter what he did, no one else would care.

Bai Ze moved briskly, and soon passed the place where Ji Xuan lived. He only glanced at it, and was about to move on, but suddenly heard the sound of something breaking from inside the house.

Then came Ji Xuan's angry shout: "Get out."

Bai Ze hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and walked in Ji Xuan's direction.The door was opened a crack, and his angle was just right enough to see the mess on the ground, broken celadon bowls and lotus seed soup scattered all over the floor.

Ji Xuan stood in the room coldly, a court lady knelt on the ground and shivered.

Ji Xuan's complexion is not very good, and I don't know where this court lady provoked him, he is not the kind of moody tyrant.

"Slave servant, get out now, get out now." The palace maid shivered and knelt backwards.

"Wait." Ji Xuan glanced down at her.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, this servant will never dare again!" The palace maid was so frightened that she almost collapsed to the ground, her head buckled loudly!

Ji Xuan's tone was impatient: "Let someone else come in and clean up here. Now you can get out."

The maid heard the words and ran out as if she had received an amnesty.

Bai Ze watched the woman run past him, Ji Xuan sat back at the table, picked up a booklet and read it.

I don't know what news I saw, and I frowned.

Bai Ze thought, Ji Xuan has always been busy with a lot of things, and now that there is nothing to do, it is even more relaxing.He left quietly, and continued to run towards the rear. If Ah Zhu was still staying here, he should be staying there.

Coincidentally, he just arrived, and saw the palace lady who was scolded by Ji Xuan before, and she happened to come back here.

She tidied up her appearance, pretended to be calm, and knocked hard on the door.While knocking, shouting: "Azhu, Azhu!"

A candle was lit in the room, and the girl poked her head out, "Sister Jinzhu, what's the matter?" Ah Zhu's face was pale and her voice was weak.

Jin Zhu looked at A Zhu with a hint of disdain, "The emperor just dropped a bowl, go over and clean it up."

Ah Zhu's face turned pale, "I..."

"What are you, don't hurry up, the emperor will blame you, you can bear it?" Jin Zhu pushed her.

Ah Zhu staggered, lowered her head, "I'll go right away."

Bai Ze saw all this in his eyes, and looked at Jin Zhu very unkindly.

But there was nothing he could do, he just hoped that Ah Zhu would be lucky enough and nothing would happen again.He hid in the night, quietly followed A Zhu, and returned to Ji Xuan.

Ah Zhu stood in front of the house door, hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to knock on the door, "Your Majesty, can the servants come in?"

After a while, a voice came from inside, "Come in."

Ah Zhu pushed open the door, she didn't dare to look at Ji Xuan more, her movements were trembling.

Bai Ze squatted by the door, watching her kneeling on the ground, picking up the pieces little by little, without even realizing that her finger was cut, feeling faintly that something was wrong.Looking again, I saw that there was no trace of blood on her face.

The next moment, Ah Zhu fell to the ground suddenly, and the fragments scattered all over the ground again with a 'crash'.

Bai Ze groaned secretly.

But it was too late, Ji Xuan also noticed the movement here.But when he looked at the girl on the ground, there was no pity in his eyes, but indifference.

Ah Zhu also realized that she was in trouble, and she wanted to get up quickly, but after struggling a few times, she felt her head getting more and more dizzy, and she couldn't get up anyway.

Ji Xuan laughed, but it only made people feel cold, "What? You want to seduce me too?"

Bai Ze spun around anxiously, seeing Ji Xuan's cold smile, the hair on his neck stood on end.Ah Zhu has already been injured, if she is punished by Ji Xuan again... she will definitely die!

Seeing Ji Xuan stand up and walk over slowly.Bai Ze's eyes were fixed, and he didn't care about other things, he rushed out from the darkness and stood between Ji Xuan and Ah Zhu.

Ji Xuan's expression changed, and after seeing that it was just a cat, his expression slowly returned to calm.

Did not get killed by mistake at the first moment!Bai Ze knew that he had escaped the greatest danger, but he was still very nervous. He walked slowly to Ah Zhu's side, bit her sleeve and dragged her back.

The girl's white and thin arms were exposed, and the arms were full of welt marks, as well as bruises from being pinched.

Ji Xuan was slightly taken aback, the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated, he looked at Bai Ze, and said lightly, "Is this your cat?"

Azhu gradually regained her senses, she looked at Bai Ze with unconcealable surprise, "Go back to the emperor, yes."

"Come on, take her down." Ji Xuan spoke again, her tone no longer harsh.

Bai Ze breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Ah Zhu had escaped the disaster.He let go of his sleeves, moved closer to Ah Zhu, and rubbed her face with his head.

……

Because Ji Xuan did not blame, Ah Zhu was able to escape punishment.

Although she was scarred in a short period of time, the appearance of Bai Ze seemed to bring her great hope and happiness. When she saw Bai Ze, she still smiled so brightly, as if no matter what kind of suffering could break her down.

Bai Ze didn't leave at all, he was a bit reluctant to let the little girl be sad.Although he can't take care of her, he will often bring back some small things, such as beautiful pebbles, wild flowers on the roadside and so on.

Every time Ah Zhu would be very happy, and then kiss his little head.

At night, she hugged Bai Ze, smiled and said, "Huihui, you must also miss me, right?"

Bai Ze didn't want to admit that he actually coveted this kind of warmth, so he moved awkwardly.

"I know, I know what you think, thank you for saving me. The emperor is so scary, I was so scared that day that I couldn't move, why are you not afraid at all? What if you die?"

As Azhu spoke, she showed a dejected look, "I don't like this place at all, but I must be strong. If I die casually, my mother will definitely be sad."

"I want to live a good life, save some money, and when I'm old, go out of the palace to marry someone who will treat me well, be a husband and a child..."

"Hui Hui, you will always be with me, right?"

Bai Ze listened quietly, until the little girl fell asleep from exhaustion, and then got out of her arms.

He stared at her for a long time, walked over gently, and kissed her forehead.

Then he curled up beside the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Ji Xuan is not far away, but this time he didn't go there, he has been chasing Ji Xuan like this, chasing someone who may never look back at him... But now he has no strength, please forgive him Wanting to rest, he wants to stay in this warm place that needs him.

During the time when Ah Zhu was recuperating, Jin Zhu came here to make trouble, but since she was almost scratched by Bai Ze once, she never came here again.

Bai Ze discovered that being a cat also has the convenience of being a cat. He doesn't have to go out and face complicated struggles every day.It's enough to just squat beside Ah Zhu and watch the woman who came to her be hostile and sharpen her claws.Those women gradually retreated.

Although it is not a glorious thing to be in the circle of women, but who made him just a cat now.

After a few more days, Ah Zhu's health gradually improved, so she couldn't rest in bed anymore, so she continued to work.

Fortunately, her work is not too heavy, it's just cooking and sweeping.Generally, she doesn't have to go to Ji Xuan to serve her. She is very glad that she doesn't have to go to the emperor, and she doesn't care about other people's ridicule.

Bai Ze couldn't help much, he lay on the tree and basked in the sun every day with nothing to do.Soon, I felt that I was fat, and even my fur was slick... It turned out that I was really fat.

If this went on like this, he felt that he was really going to become a cat.

That day, Ah Zhu finished her work and was about to go to rest, but was stopped by another court lady.The other party looked anxious and clutched his stomach, "I'm not feeling well, I have to go to the toilet, can you go and replace me for a while?! The queen empress is here, and the emperor must have someone to serve her."

"Oh, okay." Azhu was stunned for a moment, and said, "I'll go right away."

"Thank you!" the maid said gratefully.

"It's nothing, you can go." A Zhu smiled and walked out.

When we got to the front, everyone was really busy.

As soon as Azhu arrived, she was stopped by someone, "You go and help serve the dishes, be careful, and don't make any mistakes." After speaking, she pushed Azhu forward, and went to do other things by herself.

Ah Zhu had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry a plate of pastries, bowing her head and walking forward.

Unexpectedly, when entering the door, a foot suddenly protruded from the side, Ah Zhu had no time to dodge, and she tripped and fell to the ground!Pastries are also scattered all over the floor...

The movement at the door attracted everyone's attention, and the surroundings were suddenly silent.

Ah Zhu's face turned pale, knowing that she had caused a catastrophe, before she could get up, she heard a surprised voice from beside her: "Isn't this Ah Zhu? Why are you so careless?"

Azhu raised her head, and saw Ayan's gloating face, she didn't understand who tripped her.

"Ayan, what's going on outside?" A melodious female voice sounded, and it was Empress Cui who asked.

Ayan walked in quickly, looked at Empress Cui obsequiously and respectfully, "Your Majesty, a maid accidentally tripped over when she entered the door and spilled all the cakes."

Empress Cui frowned slightly, "How can you serve in front of the emperor with such a messy job?"

"Your Majesty said that this slave will drive her away." Ayan replied, with a glint of vicious pride flashing in her eyes.

Ayan returned to the door, bent down, and smiled in Azhu's ear: "Your Majesty told me to kick you out, Sister Azhu, I'm sorry."

Ah Zhu's face was pale, if she was driven away in public today, Ah Yan would definitely not let her go afterwards!

"Mother, mother—" Azhu was about to beg for mercy, but Ayan covered her mouth, and Ayan made a fool of the servant woman next to her, and she was about to drag Azhu out!

At this moment, a gray light flashed, and a gray cat jumped out from nowhere, pounced on Ayan's face, and ruthlessly raised its paws to grab it!

Bai Ze was furious, and it took only a short while for this wicked woman to take advantage of her loopholes.It seems that the punishment was not enough last time, and somehow she climbed up to Empress Cui, but this time she is disfigured, let's see how she is still jumping around in this palace!

Ayan covered her face and let out a shrill scream, seeing that gray cat again, suddenly new and old hatred surged up, her eyes turned red!

After such a commotion, Ji Xuan and Empress Cui were finally alarmed.

Seeing Ayan's miserable state, Empress Cui's face changed slightly, "What's going on?"

Seeing Empress Cui, Ayan seemed to have seen a savior. She rushed to kneel at Empress Cui's feet, pointed at Azhu and Bai Ze and said, "It's her, it's her who is dissatisfied with the mother who wants to drive her out, and let the cat scratch the slave girl! My mother You must be the master for your slaves!"

Empress Cui looked at Ah Zhu, "Is this your cat?"

Azhu's body was trembling, but she still insisted on holding Bai Ze in her arms, she bowed her head and said, "It's my servant's cat, but my servant didn't instruct it to hurt anyone, it was unintentional, please forgive me."

"No matter what the reason, if you make a mistake, you will be punished." Empress Cui said lightly, "Come here."

Ayan's face showed joy when she heard the words, and she looked at the person and cat in front of her with hatred.

Azhu looked at Bai Ze in her arms, finally showing determination in her eyes, she let go of her hand slowly, and whispered in his ear: "Run."

But Bai Ze didn't move. There's no reason for a woman to take the blame for what he did.

He looked at the scene in front of him coldly, in this palace, human life is so cheap.He deeply understands this point, just as he has had countless blood on his hands, and there are innocent people among them.

But that doesn't mean that he likes to kill innocent people indiscriminately, it doesn't mean that he likes such a cruel and helpless reality.

It doesn't mean that he can forget that he was once so humble.

The servant woman next to her was getting closer and closer, and she was about to come before them.

Bai Ze suddenly raised his head and glanced at Ji Xuan, now only Ji Xuan can stop all this, but...he just watched indifferently.Disappointment slowly appeared in Bai Ze's eyes. Many years ago...you could lend a helping hand to the weak, but where did the person who brought him warmth go?

Is it necessary to abandon one's own humanity to ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme?

Is this the only result of my own efforts and everything I have done for him?Do you regret it now?

Bai Ze slowly closed his eyes.

That being the case, let him die with this little girl, he doesn't want to leave this warm embrace.

He has always known that he is so stingy with such warmth.

Just like Ji Xuan who stretched out his hands to him back then, until the last moment of his death, he never left him.

A Zhu looked at Bai Ze in his arms, he was lying there lazily, as if he had no idea of ​​the impending danger.But one thing is certain, he will never leave.

You really won't leave me, Huihui, thank you.A faint smile appeared on the corner of Azhu's mouth.She stood up from the ground, and without waiting for others to catch her, she took a step back, "I can walk by myself."

Then turned around and walked out.

Ji Xuan kept watching with cold eyes until the figure of the little girl hugging the gray cat was about to disappear completely.

"Wait." He said suddenly.
