I fed the little prince after dressing as a cat

The candles in the study didn't go out until the first quarter of Mao.

It was late at night, and the road was covered with snow, making it difficult to walk, so He Yujin stayed in the palace.

Yun Luoting was sitting on the bed, and Pei Xuanchi beside him was asleep, probably because he slept most of the day, but slept less at night. He woke up before dawn, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he had turned into a human.

and……

There seems to be a feeling of spiritual power spreading in the hands.

The cat's ears and tail also disappeared without a trace, and the unconscious transformation in sleep, the body is also full of spiritual power.

You can really feel the changes in your body.

It may be because the spiritual power in the body amplifies the perception, Yun Luoting can feel the spiritual power in the house, and the talisman hanging on the bed exuding spiritual power.

"Well……"

A voice came from beside him, Yun Luoting looked down at him, "Are you awake...?"

Yun Luoting's voice paused, and seeing Pei Xuanchi lying flat on the couch, he didn't intend to wake up with his eyes open, but his brows were furrowed, his thin lips were drawn into a line, and he didn't seem to be sleeping very peacefully.

Have a nightmare?

Yun Luoting thought for a while, stretched out her hand, tapped his fingertips on the center of his brows, gathered the spiritual power in the fingertips, and slowly smoothed his wrinkled brows.

The spiritual power played the role of calming the nerves, and when Pei Xuanchi's breathing calmed down, Yun Luoting withdrew his hands.

Pei Xuanchi slept on the outside, and the kitten didn't sleep honestly. He was afraid that he would accidentally fall off the bed when he fell asleep, so he protected the kitten inside to sleep on his side.

Now, if Yun Luoting wanted to get out of the bed, he would have to go around Pei Xuanchi, fearing that too much noise would wake him up, but Yun Luoting didn't move and sat quietly waiting for him to wake up.

He slept late yesterday, so it would be better to let him sleep.

I thought I would have to wait for a while, but not long after, Pei Xuanchi woke up.

Seeing this, Yun Luoting put down the untied talisman in his hand, bent his eyes, and said in a brisk tone: "Morning."

The young man was leaning on the jade pillow, with his head bowed, black hair falling from his ears, and his appearance was imprinted in his beautiful and delicate eyes.

Pei Xuanchi paused, and after a while, he said, "Morning."

Pei Xuanchi asked, "Is there any discomfort in your body?"

Pei Xuanchi was not at all surprised that the kitten would transform into a human form today. When all kinds of spiritual power were injected into the kitten's meridians, it would definitely transform into a human form, and it should last for a while.

Yun Luoting shook his head, and was about to speak, when someone knocked on the door outside.

Afterwards, the dark guard said in a low voice: "Your Highness, General He said that there was something wrong with Yan Yin, and the crown prince has been blocking and making troubles. The prime minister is afraid that something will happen, so he handed over the invitation card to see the left prime minister early this morning, and asked the servant to come over and report. , saying that if His Highness wakes up, he will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for him."

Pei Xuanchi got up, and said lightly: "Understood, you go down first."

"Yes."

Yun Luoting felt a little strange when he heard this, it's normal to be involved with Pei Wenyu, but it has nothing to do with Prime Minister Zuo.

However, in the original text, there is another person behind the illicit salt sale, and Zuo Xiang was not involved.

Thinking of this, Yun Luoting was startled suddenly.

In the original text, the person who came to investigate the sale of private salt was Pei Wenyu. If this matter really had something to do with Prime Minister Zuo, then the prince must be involved in it.

The matter of investigating the case was handed over to Pei Wenyu, who kept all of them silently, and then randomly found someone to take the place of the dead ghost, and the case of selling illegal salt would be finalized.

Concubine Chun has no background, Prime Minister Zuo is a civil servant who doesn’t say she has a clean sleeve, but she doesn’t have much money to squander. Pei Wenyu has never been short of money, and even gave the emperor’s birthday a spiritual object from the world of cultivating immortals. It is only said that it is not less than ten thousand taels of silver, and a lot of treasures are also given in exchange.

The money turned out to come from selling illegal salt.

Yun Luoting thought that the original plot was paving the way for Pei Wenyu's reputation among the people, but he never thought that it was paving a way of making money.

If it is a source of income, Pei Xuanchi will definitely investigate thoroughly when he takes over the matter, and then reveal everything...

No wonder Pei Wenyu played around with it, taking advantage of the child in Concubine Chun's womb, he just got out of the confinement not long ago, if it was found out that he was selling private salt behind his back, the emperor would definitely not take him lightly.

Yun Luoting slowly raised the corners of his mouth, if that's the case, then the prince will be in bad luck this time.

Pei Xuanchi handed him the thick clothes, "Try it on."

Clothes were prepared early in the morning, both thin and winter cotton-padded clothes, in case the kitten suddenly turned into a human form without suitable clothes.

"Huh?" Yun Luoting took it subconsciously, starting with soft fluff, the outer shirt had a white circle around the collar, and the inner shirt was dark blue and embroidered with cloud patterns.

Seeing that he was not moving, Pei Xuanchi asked, "Don't you want to go? The auction house in the capital has made some moves, and I want to take you there to have a look."

The prime minister's mansion was next. When he came back, he took the kitten to the auction house. According to the news from the auction house, there were several spirit herbs that could be used by spirit beasts to transform into forms.

After becoming a human, Yun Luoting seldom went out, thinking that he would stay this time too. Hearing what Pei Xuanchi said, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Go!"

---

There was a warm stone in the carriage, and Yun Luoting also held a piece of warm stone in his hand.

Maybe it’s because I’m used to having thick fur when I’m a cat, and when I become a human, I still feel a bit cold even if I wear thick clothes.

The carriage ran relatively slowly, and the puppet driving the carriage would be more careful as the melted snow turned into ice overnight.

Pei Xuanchi poured a cup of hot milk tea and replaced the warm stone in Yun Luoting's hand.

When he came out in the morning, he didn't have breakfast, and there were a few plates of snacks on the small table in the middle of the carriage. Yun Luoting had no appetite, so he sipped milk tea.

The aroma of milk and the fragrance of tea are well combined, only a little sugar is added, and the taste is slightly sweet.

Yun Luoting tapped the teacup with his fingertips, and asked thoughtfully: "Do you think the person who sells private salt is the prince or the prime minister?"

He felt that both of them were involved, but it was really hard to say who the mastermind was.

"Prince Chongli, it should be him."

Besides, Prime Minister Zuo has been an official in the court for so many years, how can Pei Wenyu be his opponent? Although everything is still inconclusive, but...even if Prime Minister Zuo mentioned the sale of private salt, the mastermind behind it will be found out in the end. It's Pei Wenyu.

Zuo Xiang will not sacrifice himself for a prince.

No matter how important Conglong's merit is, it cannot compare to his position as prime minister.

While talking, the carriage stopped slowly.

Yun Luoting opened the heavy curtains and happened to see the plaque of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Pei Xuanchi got off the carriage, and extended his hand towards Yun Luoting instead.

Yun Luoting handed him a warm stone and said, "I won't go in, I'll wait for you here."

He came here for a while, Pei Xuanchi had finished speaking with Prime Minister Zuo, and had to go back to the palace to pick him up, so he came along with him.

When the curtain was opened, the cold wind blew, Yun Luoting couldn't help but gather the cloak in front of him, "Go in quickly, don't let the cold wind blow and catch cold again."

He Yujin left the servants to wait outside. When he saw them coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hello, Your Highness. This servant is here by General He's order. Your Highness, please."

Pei Xuanchi nodded his wrist, and Yun Luoting understood what he meant, and stretched out his hand in the same way, showing him the red line on his wrist.

Seeing that Yun Luoting was wearing it all the time, Pei Xuanchi turned around and walked into the prime minister's mansion.

The servant led the way, "General He and the Prime Minister are talking in the study."

I didn't meet the guests in the middle hall, which shows the importance of the discussion.

Leading him all the way to the front of the study, the servant pushed open the door and saluted, "Your Highness, the Prime Minister has made it clear that you can go in directly when your Highness arrives."

"Ah."

After Pei Xuanchi went in, the servant closed the study door and stood quietly by the side.

Seeing this, He Yujin joked with a smile, "You came early."

He slept late yesterday, he was used to waking up early to practice, and happened to get the news that the prime minister was going back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, so he came here directly because he was afraid that it would be too late, and kept the prime minister behind by talking.

He Yujin thought that Pei Xuanchi wouldn't come until the afternoon, and was still thinking about how to keep the prime minister until the afternoon, and what reason to make this matter not seem abrupt, but he didn't expect that Pei Xuanchi would come here not long after he arrived, and there was no need for him Think so much.

"Why didn't you bring your cat?" He Yujin was used to seeing Pei Xuanchi's cat never leaving his hand, so he was still not used to meeting him by himself.

Pei Xuanchi said: "It's cold, I'm resting in the bedroom."

Zuo Xiang saw that the two of them were chatting as if there was no one else present, his face remained unchanged, he poured a cup of hot tea indifferently, and pushed it in front of Pei Xuanchi, "Your Highness, please have some tea."

When Pei Xuanchi was seated, Prime Minister Zuo asked: "General He's visit to the gate today is a matter of Yan Yin, and what is the reason for the Ninth Prince's visit?"

Pei Xuanchi didn't stick to it, just said: "It's also about Yanyin."

Prime Minister Zuo was not surprised by this answer, he put down the teapot, and said: "In that case, then I will borrow a word from General He to return to Your Highness."

"I don't know anything about Yan Yin. Your Highness is probably looking for the wrong person."

He Yujin secretly said, "Old fox, he sat here and heard these words twice. If he hadn't been convinced, he might have been fooled by Prime Minister Zuo's calm and composed look.

Pei Xuanchi said: "It's good for the Prime Minister not to know. If this matter gets involved, if you are a little careless, you will be doomed. Zuo Xianggui is the Prime Minister, so you don't have to care about such petty gains as Yan Yin."

Prime Minister Zuo raised his teacup, "It's my honor to gain His Highness's trust."

He Yujin snorted coldly, "As the prince's teacher, Prime Minister Zuo has a good relationship with the prince and has a deep relationship. The prince is inseparable from the sale of private salt. I hope Prime Minister Zuo can remind the prince more, so that he can repent as soon as possible, and settle the salt. The case is."

Zuo Xiang was not surprised by the matter, and was not affected by the words at all, but followed their words and said: "If this matter is related to the crown prince, I will definitely not tolerate it."

Pei Xuanchi flicked the red thread on his wrist with his fingertips, and said casually: "The incident of Yanyin started from Dingdong, I thought, the person behind the smuggling of salt should also be in Dingdong."

Prime Minister Zuo took a sip of hot tea, "Your Highness is right."

Pei Xuanchi then asked again: "Dingdong is a small place, and the silver obtained from selling private salt is not easy to get into the bank, so how should I hide it?"

Prime Minister Zuo didn't answer, Pei Xuanchi's eyes flashed coldly, and he said indifferently: "For example... opening a tavern."

Zuo Xiang slowly raised his eyes and looked at him expressionlessly.

Pei Xuan said slowly: "Hide the account books and silver taels of smuggling salt in the house of the local office, and in the secret room that can only be opened by twisting the vegetable jar hidden in the corner... Prime Minister Zuo thinks this method is feasible?"

What Pei Xuanchi said was exactly the place where Pei Wenyu in the previous life pushed out the scapegoat and hid the 'criminal evidence'.

In the next life, when the case was handed over to him, the prince was naturally more anxious to find a scapegoat. Pei Xuanchi was not in a hurry before because he wanted to give the prince time to cheat.

When the prince will prepare the scapegoat, the 'evidence' will be ready.

Pei Xuanchi didn't go to investigate, but waited quietly. When the time came, he came here to talk about it with the prime minister.

I saw that Prime Minister Zuo paused while holding the teacup, the tea in the cup was almost spilled, he put down the teacup calmly, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by your highness?"

"These are just my random guesses. If they are not true, Prime Minister Zuo doesn't have to take them to heart."

Pei Xuanchi didn't go into details, he only said part of what he said, leaving the rest to Zuo Xiang himself to guess, the result of being suspicious and overthinking is much better than explaining everything.

His casual sentence 'don't take it to heart' made Zuo Xiang frown.

He Yujin raised his eyebrows. Seeing that Prime Minister Zuo's expression changed, he must have hit a sore spot. He only knew that the news was brought by Pei Xuanchi's people from Dingdong last night. Seeing the prime minister's expression, he also knew that the news was true.

Singing and talking until now, the guillotine finally fell.

"Zuo Xiang is the prime minister, so we should distinguish which is more important." After speaking, Pei Xuanchi got up, "It's getting late, I'll take a step ahead."

He Yujin also stood up with him, and left a meaningful sentence before going out, "Prime Minister, think twice."

When He Yujin's back disappeared in front of the door, Prime Minister Zuo lowered his face and overturned the table in front of him.

Hearing the voice from behind, He Yujin shrugged, not worried that Prime Minister Zuo would tell the prince about it, now that the matter is clear, let him choose between the prince and himself.

Do you need to think more about who to choose?

I will definitely choose the one that is beneficial to me.

Prime Minister Zuo has worked so hard for so many years, and the forces in the court and China are likely to be hurt by this incident, and he will protect the crown prince, that is a fantasy.

---

He Yujin went out of the Prime Minister's Mansion to say hello to Pei Xuanchi, and then returned to the General's Mansion.

Pei Xuanchi used the demonic energy to cool off the chill from his body, and then went into the carriage.

Yun Luoting asked: "How is it? Did the prime minister make things difficult for you?"

Pei Xuanchi shook his head, and handed over the warm stone that Yun Luoting gave him when he got off the carriage, "The prime minister should give up the prince, and go to Dingdong in a few days, so that he can be convicted as soon as possible."

Yun Luoting nodded, and when he reached out to take the warm stone, his fingertips touched his hand, it was very cold.

Even though he was holding the warm stone, his hand was still cold, as if it had been corroded by spiritual energy, not caused by the temperature of the whole body.

Seeing that he was silent, Pei Xuanchi asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Your hands are so cold." Yun Luoting tried to hold them, but even his palms were cold. His hands didn't warm up at all, and there was no response to the radiance of spiritual power. To Pei Xuanchi, the warm stone was even more useless. effect.

Pei Xuanchi didn't care much, seeing that he was worried, he comforted him: "It's nothing, it's just like this when the spiritual energy changes." Just now, he used the magic energy to fade the chill, and it will be fine when the magic energy recovers.

Yun Luoting thought for a while, held his breath and restrained his spiritual power, his body shape gradually changed, and the thick clothes lost their support and fell down.

The little white cat stuck its head out among the clothes.

"Although Dingdong is small, it has a lot of exquisite food. In a few days you..." Seeing the kitten, Pei Xuanchi paused, "What's wrong?"

"Meow~"

Pei Xuanchi looked suspicious, and was about to speak when he saw the kitten get out of his clothes and jump onto his lap.

The little white cat stretched out its paws and pawed at the side twice. When Pei Xuanchi reached out his hand, the whole cat lay down on it and covered his hand tightly.

Yun Luoting bent his eyes and said, "Mi!"

Go on, I'm listening.
