The male partner is wearing it quickly, paranoid villain, why are you locking me up?

"General, the disappearance of the young master is indeed a bit strange, but as you know, the guard guard has never slacked off in fulfilling his duties."

The old housekeeper kneeling in the front row spoke tremblingly.

"Besides, none of the hundreds of servants in the general's residence have seen the young master. So there must be something fishy about this matter."

Everyone said in unison that they had not seen the little master all day.

Zhao Yan still had a gloomy expression. The old housekeeper raised his head and said hesitantly: "...General, if you want to think about where you picked up the young master, maybe you ran back because you missed your home..."

Zhao Yan came back early in the morning. He didn't even have time to take off his official uniform and ran to find Mao'er to post stickers. As a result, when he opened the door, there was only an empty room.

Furious, the general's mansion was turned upside down but he couldn't find it.

Zhao Yan's heart shrank at the thought of the cat being captured by bad guys. He could not suppress the anger rising in his chest. He originally wanted to punish the guards, but when he heard the old housekeeper's words, his clenched hands loosened.

Missed home and ran back?

It was possible, but it was already getting late, so he had no choice but to suppress his eagerness and send everyone away.

Without the kitten in his arms, Zhao Yan suffered from insomnia for the first time and stayed up all night. He entered the palace as soon as it was light and hurried to Qianqing Palace after the morning court.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a ball of white curled up in the emperor's arms, and he could faintly hear comfortable snoring in the air.

The emperor looked up from the memorial and glanced at the visitor, and said calmly: "What's the matter?"

"A naughty cat was lost in the General's Mansion. I came to see if Third Brother has it here." Zhao Yan sat down and drank tea without ceremony, staring straight at him.

Such a familiar voice.

Song Jiu twitched his ears slightly, stretched his neck, and saw someone not far away who had thick bags under his eyes because he had not slept all night. He guiltily averted that person's gaze, and finally remembered what he had forgotten.

He left the general's mansion quietly, and with that guy's temperament, he probably spent the whole night looking for him.

Although that man is big and bold, he is actually very considerate and takes good care of people.

After all, he had taken good care of his nominal 'master'. Song Jiu couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He ran over and stuck out his tongue to lick the man's cold jawline.

There was a sense of ingratiation in his demeanor.

Zhao Yan almost laughed out loud, picked up Mao'er's soft body, and patted her softly: "I have been looking for you for several hours, just because I am afraid that you will be kidnapped and abused. It's better for you to be brave and direct. He ran back to the palace."

"Third brother is your master, but this general is not?"

Song Jiu felt guilty and meowed softly, turning his head away, not daring to look directly into the other person's eyes.

The two little ears were pressed down because of some fear, and the round blue eyes were so cute that people couldn't bear to say another harsh word.

After Zhao Yan had learned enough, he cleared his throat and said, "Third brother, there are still matters to be dealt with in the military camp, so I will leave first." After saying that, he took Mao'er out.

"Stop, you can leave, Xiaojiu stays." The emperor corrected the memorial and ordered without raising his head.

"Xiaojiu? That's a good name." Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows and looked down at the cat in his arms. He chewed the word "Xiaojiu" over and over again. The more he thought about it, the happier he felt.

"What a good name!" He praised her repeatedly, and his cold jawline softened a lot.

Song Jiu huddled quietly in Zhao Yan's arms, watching him keep calling out his words like an idiot, the corners of his eyes twitching.

He didn't know how the emperor knew his name, just as he didn't know why he was still alive.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he stays with the emperor.

Seeing that the emperor was resolute and refused to give in, Zhao Yan's face was full of resentment.

"Third brother, I have a beautiful woman warming my bed every night, and I have a warm and fragrant soft jade in my arms. I am so happy. This general just wants a cat. Besides, some time ago, if this general hadn't brought the kitten back to the mansion, Xiaojiu would have really His life was cut short."

"By the way, this reminds me that when I found the little guy, his body was covered with dense needle holes, and he had obviously been abused."

"I have seen too many dramas in the palace where someone flatters someone who is superior but someone who is inferior to someone who is inferior. I feel pity for Xiaojiu and he has been wronged in vain."

After listening to these words, General Manager Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead. General Zhao almost named him and said that he did not take good care of the young master, which was the reason why the young master was abused by a group of slaves.

"Eye of a needle? Is there still such a thing?"

The emperor stopped his movements and refined the key words. His eyes, so profound that no one could see through them, fell on Manager Lin, making his heart tremble.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know these things. I followed your instructions some time ago and have been busy preparing jewelry for the new concubine. I have been busy all day long and I really can't get away."

Manager Lin knelt down and quickly told the truth.

He was wronged in his heart. During that period, His Majesty was obsessed with Ai Fei like a demon. Even his slave had to be busy and had no time to care about a kitten that had lost his favor.

He kept his posture low, lest His Majesty would blame him and become a victim.

Song Jiu didn't want to recall those days of hunger and beatings. He knew that the secret rules in the palace were like that, but he couldn't help but get angry. He jumped on the document and kept shouting in the direction of the emperor.

The sharp canine teeth bit the emperor's thumb and kept rubbing it, while the beautiful blue eyes were filled with mist.

It seems like a complaint or a grievance.

"Did you see it? Third brother may have hurt the cat's heart this time. Since it was third brother who abandoned the kitten in the first place, it would be better for him to raise it for me, the general."

Zhao Yan added fuel to the fire, fearing that the conflict was not sharp enough, so he specially emphasized the word 'discard'.

Sure enough, the kitten understood the human words, its tears flowed out and wet its snow-white fur, and its bite became stronger.

The emperor let the kitten bite him. When the cat got tired of biting him, he picked it up and kissed it again and again: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. It was only because I was blindfolded that you suffered injustice. Don't cry, don't cry... "

To be able to allow the most powerful emperor to lower his posture to such an extent shows that the kitten holds a very important place in His Majesty's heart.

Seeing His Majesty waving his hand, Manager Lin stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to the young master's fuss, which extinguished the emperor's anger, he was lucky enough to escape the disaster.

Song Jiu lost his temper after being kissed. The cherishment and caution in the other person's eyes made him calm down no matter how strong his emotions were.

He licked the emperor's handsome face to express his forgiveness.

"Reconciliation is so simple? Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, you really don't have a long memory. This general treats you no worse than the third brother. Why don't you kiss this general?"

Zhao Yan felt sour when he saw one person and one cat interacting closely. He had to admit that he was jealous that the third brother could get the cat's favor.

If I had met the kitten earlier, would I have been able to enjoy this intimacy?

It would be nice if only he could fit in those clean and pure cat eyes.

"Okay, since you talk a lot, how are the things I asked you to check, are there any abnormalities?" The emperor calmed down the cat and spoke calmly.

When it came to business, Zhao Yan restrained his casual attitude and turned serious.

"The envoy from Yue Kingdom seemed to have received the news of Ai Fei's execution and was dissatisfied. The group of people refused to leave the capital. They temporarily stayed at the inn on the grounds of appreciating the local customs. They wandered around the capital during the day and ordered people to disperse at night. rumor."

"It is rumored that Emperor Li Chao was cruel and cold-blooded, and frequently executed beauties from the palace of death. He was an out-and-out coward. He also said that he would be so comatose that he would attack ordinary people in the future."

Zhao Yan truthfully responded to the information collected in the past few days with great disdain on his face.

"He even resorted to these damaging tactics. He is cunning, cunning, despicable and shameless. He is so narrow-minded that he is not worthy of being an envoy representing a country."

It is estimated that he was instructed by the people behind the scenes to deliberately find trouble so that Li Chaojun and his people would turn away from the social unrest, and then take the opportunity to attack the capital.

The abacus is loud and clear, but it is a pity that the most painful thing is that ambition is greater than strength.
