I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

When Yuan Fu woke up the next day, when he was combing Luo Bai's hair, he opened the wooden box containing the headdress, and habitually asked Luo Bai to choose one of the two.But seeing that there was only the little jade crown left inside, he had to say: "Look, you got rid of the jade hairpin yesterday, so there is no choice now."

Luo Bai thought melancholy: Isn't that right, the burden is gone, and even the beautiful feather is gone.

But as long as the chicken named Peacock is still there, it's all right to continue to pluck the feathers, he comforted himself.

After breakfast, I will pull it out, and then go to my brother after pulling it out.

But when he rushed out excitedly, Yuan Fu stopped him.

"My lord, I can't go out now. I didn't write yesterday, so I have to make up for the two days today."

Luo Bai sat in front of the desk with a bitter face, and took a brush to smear small ink blobs on the paper.There was a cat walking around on the wall, and Yuan Fu chased it away with a broom.

When he finally finished painting the whole piece of paper, he showed it to Yuan Fu, and Yuan Fu said, "There are still paintings, and I have to make up the paintings in the past two days."

During the whole day, Luo Bai spent the whole day in front of the desk, while drinking the rock sugar tremella soup brought by the little eunuch, while trying hard to smear, and finally finished the two paintings during dinner.

"Aunt Yuan Fu, can I go out to play now?" After dinner, Luo Bai asked eagerly.

Yuan Fu finally had no choice, so he waved his hands: "Go, go, don't shop, go back to the palace early after dark, no matter how hot you are, you can't take off your clothes."

Luo Bai happily jumped up and ran out of the house, and replied loudly: "I see."

Half of the setting sun was hanging on the top of the mountain, and before falling, a snow-white little leopard was running among the forests, heading towards Qiande Palace familiarly.

When he ran past a tall ginkgo tree, he stopped suddenly.Because the speed was too fast, the four claws slid forward a little due to inertia, dragging a scratch on the lawn.

Luo Bai looked up at the old tree with dense branches and leaves, quickly climbed up, took off the bundle tied to his body, and hid it in the canopy of the tree.

Every time I go back to Yuqing Palace, I come to the tree to put on my clothes, so that I don't worry about losing the clothes.

Luo Bai solved this big problem, and happily continued to run to Qiande Palace, dodged those guards, climbed up the beam, and touched the apse of Qiande Palace.

But Chu Yuzhao was not there, he trotted on the beams, searched all those houses, but saw no one.Finally, on a flat ground behind the house, he saw Chu Yuzhao's figure.

Chu Yuzhao was practicing kung fu, twirling and jumping, a long sword in his hand spun out a silver-white sword flower.He was only wearing a white singlet, but that layer of clothing was soaked with sweat and stuck to his vest.During the movement, the smooth muscle lines below are shown.

Luo Bai saw that he was concentrating on training and there were no servants around, so he got off the beam, squatted down on the stone bench next to the ground, and waited reservedly for him to find himself.

Chu Yuzhao practiced very attentively, and did not glance at him. The sword in his hand danced faster and faster, and the sharp wind of the sword swept up the fallen leaves around him, and followed his movements in the low air.

My brother is so powerful, my brother is the most powerful person in the world...

Luo Bai was watching with a look of admiration, when he saw Chu Yuzhao suddenly staggered two steps forward after piercing two leaves in the air with his sword. Although he supported his body with the sword in time, he knelt down on his left knee. He bent over and covered his chest, and began to cough non-stop.

Luo Bai panicked, immediately jumped off the stone bench, ran to Chu Yuzhao's side, circled around him anxiously, raised his head and howled.

Hey!

Meow!

After Chu Yuzhao coughed for a while, he lowered his head and looked at Xiaobao.His pale face showed a bit of abnormal redness, and a few strands of sweat-soaked long hair stuck to his cheeks.Seeing Xiaobao's anxious look, he chuckled and asked hoarsely, "Xiaobai, are you here?"

Luo Bai was raising his paw to shake his arm, when he heard this, the whole leopard froze as if being hit by acupuncture points.

Xiao, Xiaobai?

He called me Xiaobai?

Brother knows that I am Luo Bai?

Chu Yuzhao didn't pay attention to Luo Bai's abnormality, he stood up with the sword leaning on him, and walked towards the stone table unsteadily.

"You are all white, I think the name Xiaobai is very suitable for you, how about calling you Xiaobai from now on?"

Luo Bai breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be the case.

Meow!

Xiaobai is Xiaobai, I think this name is very good.

He trotted back, climbed onto the stone bench opposite Chu Yuzhao, propped his two front paws on the table, and stood upright.Those round eyes just protruding from the table looked worriedly at the person opposite.

The last trace of orange in the sky also disappeared, and the night fell.Chu Yuzhao coughed twice with his fist on his lips, took an empty cup from the tray on the stone table, picked up the teapot and filled it with water, and put it in front of Luo Bai.Then he poured himself a cup, passed it to his lips and sipped it lightly.

Luo Bai raised his hind paws on tiptoe, propped his body up with his left front paw on the stone table, stretched out his right front paw to hold the water.But the teacup was smooth, and one claw alone was not good enough. The teacup was shaken back and forth, making a rubbing sound against the stone table.

Chu Yuzhao tilted his head and lowered his eyes, looking at the little claw that had opened it as far as it could but still couldn't hold the teacup, a smile flashed in his eyes.

Luo Bai was fiddling with the teacup, when he saw that the cup was suddenly picked up by a big hand with well-defined bones, and a deep and mellow voice sounded: "Sit down, hold it with two paws and drink."

After Luo Bai sat down, Chu Yuzhao handed him the teacup, and waited for the two little claws to hold the cup firmly before letting go.

One person and one leopard were drinking tea quietly across a stone table, the surrounding was very quiet, only the night wind blowing through the branches and leaves made rustling sounds.

"Did you come to the palace recently?" Chu Yuzhao suddenly broke the silence.

After asking, he turned his head to look across the stone table, but he didn't see Xiaobao.

Luo Bai was just sitting down to drink water, when he heard Chu Yuzhao asking himself, he immediately held the teacup and straightened his upper body, exposing two ears and a pair of round eyes from the table.

Meow!

I just came to the palace recently, but you still don't understand me.

But Chu Yuzhao nodded seriously: "Well, I just came to the palace recently."

After he finished speaking, he saw that the pair of eyes on the opposite side widened and his ears perked up.

"You have been secretly following me in the palace for a long time." Chu Yuzhao said in a firm tone.

He used the self-proclaimed not zhen, but me, and while asking, he handed the teacup to his mouth, half-closed his eyes and observed Xiaobao.

Xiaobao's eyeballs started to roll around, and his eyes drifted away from him, with a guilty look on his face.

"You used to live on a certain mountain near the capital."

One of Xiaobao's ears trembled, and there was a hint of confusion in his round eyes.

"I'm wrong, you live far away, and you have traveled a long way to get to the capital."

Luo Bai couldn't help meowing.

That's right, the carriage has been walking for many days.

"You entered the palace by accident—wrong, you came to the palace on a special trip to accomplish one thing—and you have nothing else to do, just stay here to live. Every day you will secretly find some cruel things for yourself. The leftovers—well, no, they were pretty good..."

Chu Yuzhao observed Xiaobao's reaction calmly, and slowly corrected his guess.

——He entered the palace after a long journey not long ago.Although I don't know why the destination is the palace, but it's not to accomplish anything, it's just to survive here.The little guy had a good life, he didn't eat any leftovers, he had a round head and a fleshy body, and his fur was smooth and shiny.He is so smart, he should have stolen food from the imperial dining room, but fortunately, he has not been discovered for such a period of time.

Luo Bai was full of admiration at this time, and his eyes showed admiration undisguised.

Brother is so powerful, so powerful, how can he know everything?Fortunately, I am smart and able to cover up, otherwise he would see that I belong to Luo Bai.

Chu Yuzhao looked at the dazed little leopard, leaned over the stone table, took away the empty teacup in his arms, and asked, "Will you drink any more?"

Only then did Luo Bai come back to his senses, and quickly shook his head.

stop drinking.

Chu Yuzhao didn't put down the empty cup, and played with it in his hand. The faint starlight sprinkled on his face, coating his sharp facial features with a layer of softness.

A gust of wind blew by, and he coughed twice.Luo Bai found that he was still wearing that single coat, so he quickly jumped off the stone bench, grabbed a coat that was placed on the stone platform not far away, touched Chu Yuzhao's knee with his paw, and signaled him to put it on.

The outer robe was too long, and the whole thing was dragged on the ground. Chu Yuzhao didn't mind the dust, so he took it over and put it on, and even rubbed Luo Bai's head.

Although the big hand on top of his head was a little cold, it made Luo Bai feel very comfortable. He couldn't help squinting his eyes, and rubbed against the palm.

Chu Yuzhao looked down at him, without any warning, suddenly grabbed the back of his neck and lifted it up in front of his eyes.

Luo Bai looked at him for some unknown reason, but he was docile and did not resist, his body limply hanging in a long strip, and his limbs were also hanging by his side.

A faint smile flashed across Chu Yuzhao's face, he put the hem of his coat on the corner of the stone table, and put Luo Bai on it: "Sit down."

Luo Bai sat down obediently and looked at him with blinking eyes.

"If I still have a lot of time, I can keep you by my side, but I don't think there are many left. Is there any place you want to go, I can send you there. This palace is more beautiful than the jungle. Dangerous, don't stay here in the future."

These words were beyond Luo Bai's comprehension, he didn't really understand.But what he could understand was that Chu Yuzhao was saying that he didn't have much time and wanted to send himself away.

Why is there no time?Even if you don't have time, you won't bother him, can you just sit aside and wait?

Luo Bai felt aggrieved, put his two paws in his arms, and turned his head to look aside.

Chu Yuzhao didn't look at him, his deep eyes were fixed on a certain point in the void, and after a moment of trance, he continued: "I have a younger brother."

Luo Bai turned around quickly, her small lips were tightly pressed, and her eyes were as bright as morning stars.

"...His name is Chu Yuce."

The little stars in Xiaobao's eyes instantly dissipated, his ears drooped, and he turned his head a little disappointed.

"When I saw him for the first time, he was lying in swaddling clothes, such a small pink ball. When the queen mother asked me to hug him and took him from the nurse, I was too scared to move. He At that moment, I was sleeping soundly, but I opened my eyes and smiled at me..."

Luo Bai's heart seemed to have spilled a bottle of vinegar, his heart, liver and lungs were sour.He slowly pounced on the table covered with his outer robe, spread his body out, and covered his ears with his two little paws.

Don't listen, don't listen, it's terrible.

But Chu Yuzhao's deep and mellow voice continued to reach his ears.

"When he was a child, he often wore a small mandarin jacket with black flowers on a red background and a long life lock made of jade around his neck. When he saw me, he rushed to call his brother and wanted to be hugged by me. But I was always like that to him. Impatient... how lonely he must be, with only an older brother who is bent on revenge, and a few lazy and irresponsible servants by his side. He is usually accompanied by a wooden pony that I made by hand... ..."

Although Luo Bai yelled in his heart not to listen, his two little paws covering his ears moved to the side, revealing a gap.

"If I hadn't been so focused on revenge and taken him out of the palace early, even if I lived a life of not eating three meals a day, he wouldn't have died at such a young age..."

Chu Yuzhao's voice became deeper and deeper, Luo Bai was startled, the sourness disappeared immediately, and his heart slowly tightened.

He turned his head and saw that there seemed to be a flash of water in Chu Yuzhao's eyes, but when he looked intently, he saw only a row of long black eyelashes drooping down, covering all the emotions in his eyes.

"What do I have now? Even if I get revenge, what can I get? Yu Ce will not forgive me, and the queen mother will not forgive me..."

Chu Yuzhao's voice became softer and softer, until finally it was like a whisper.However, Luo Bai could hear the deep sadness and exhaustion in his words, and he felt uncomfortable and panicked, and couldn't help pressing his paws on his chest.

He knew what it meant to be gone. After the old man in the village passed away, everyone would say that it was gone.

When it is gone, it means that it can no longer be seen, heard, or touched, and it turns into a pile of loess, lying quietly in the mountain depression.

But those who are gone are old people, my younger brother is not an old man, why is it gone?

Chu Yuzhao just hung his head like that, as if he fell asleep, and after a long while, he sighed and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that there was no one who could tell these things that were suffocating in my heart. To a leopard to speak out.”

Luo Bai groaned softly.

I'm not exactly a leopard, but you can tell me anything I have to say.

Although Chu Yuzhao couldn't understand, he could hear the comforting meaning in the soft voice, and couldn't help raising his head to look over.

Under the starlight, Xiao Bao was sitting upright on the stone table, looking at him tenderly, his eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of clear water, rippling with silver fragments.

Chu Yuzhao couldn't help stretching out his hand, gently stroking his silky fur.Xiaobao let him touch meekly, snorted twice from his nose coquettishly, stretched out his pink tongue, and licked his fingers.

"You're still licking, and you're not afraid of being scalded by your tongue again?" Chu Yuzhao felt the wet warmth on his fingers, his mood suddenly improved, and he couldn't help saying.

Luo Bai froze suddenly when he heard this, remembering that he also licked his fingers last night, but ended up licking the ointment into his mouth, and slowly closed his mouth.

Chu Yuzhao had a gentle expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked up, and he curled up his fingers to scratch Xiaobao's chin.

Luo Bai wanted to be more dignified, so he pushed his fingers away, but the feeling of being gently scratched on his chin was so comfortable, the paw that rested on Chu Yuzhao's finger finally lost its strength, and it was only limp. After fiddled with the ground twice, he gave up, closed his eyes, and hummed comfortably.

"What do you usually like to eat? Cooked food or raw meat? Do you like raw beef or live chicken? I'll ask someone to prepare some for you. Huh?" Chu Yuzhao asked in a low voice while scratching his chin.

raw beef?live chicken?

I don't eat that.

Luo Bai wanted to groan to express his objection, but just as he looked up at Chu Yuzhao, the whole leopard froze like a lightning strike.

I saw a child crouching on Chu Yuzhao's shoulders, with a blue color in his pale face, with his mouth wide open and two dark eyes open, he bent down to look at him from Chu Yuzhao's shoulder.

It was the ghost doll.
