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

Regardless of etiquette, the eldest princess rushed out from the crowd and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, everything is the fault of this bitch. She failed to educate her children well, and that's why she spoke arrogant words and offended His Majesty's holy face."

"If your majesty wants to punish, punish the bitch. The common people are willing to take the punishment instead of the dog."

She protected Li Linfeng behind her, her mouth filled with sorrow and tears, as if she felt a great injustice.

She was scared and guilty, because she knew how she had abused the young man in the palace before, and her son had absolutely no chance of living in the young man's hands.

The mother and son hugged each other tightly, looking panicked, pitifully waiting for the emperor's forgiveness. Everyone present said that they had a deep friendship when they saw it.

The great prince quickly protected both mother and son in his arms, and his voice trembled: "Your Majesty, it is all my fault. I am willing to bear all the consequences. Your Majesty is wise and spares the humble wife and the dog."

The three of them hugged each other tightly and became an indestructible whole.

Correct.

They were a family, they were the masters of the prince's house, and Li Chongyi, a bastard from a humble background, was just an accidental mistake and would always be a thorn in their side.

I wish I could get rid of it.

Li Chongyi thought he would react and feel uncomfortable, but in fact there was no discomfort in his heart.

He doesn't need emotions or burdens. Only power and status are the keys to survival.

The new emperor watched them cry and beg for mercy with cold eyes, took in their embarrassed appearance, and after admiring them enough, he shouted loudly.

"Shut up, everyone! The late emperor's body is still cold, and you are making noises and noises here. How unbecoming is it? There are family rules and kings' laws, and I am no exception."

"Are you making such a fuss that you want to go to the dungeon and have to shed a layer of your skin to be honest?"

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Li Linfeng was still forced into prison by the secret guards.

After the funeral ceremony, the late emperor's coffin was placed in Qianqing Palace to express the meaning of "ending his life and sleeping in peace".

In the morning, noon and evening, the new emperor must mourn and worship in person, and the clan ministers and other ministers must mourn for the late emperor.

There were funeral arrangements and piles of memorials to deal with. The new emperor was so busy that he hadn't slept for several days, and there were heavy dark circles under his eyes.

Li Chongyi put down his brush and rubbed his brow irritably.

Since the death of the late emperor, the kitten has curled up in the catalpa coffin and stayed beside it, motionless, closing itself in its own world.

No matter how others called, there was no response.

Even when Li Chongyi called him, he just moved his ears and refused to eat. He lost a lot of weight, the bones in his back were prominent, and his fur was gray.

If this continues, the kitten will starve to death sooner or later.

The imperial doctor said it was a heart disease, and it would be useless if he didn't solve the problem.

"Little kitten, little kitten, be good and eat something. I know you feel uncomfortable and can't bear to leave the late emperor. But you are abusing yourself like this. Have you ever thought about how I feel? I will also feel sorry for you."

"I can also give you the favor and partiality that the late emperor can give you. You should be good and eat as much as you can."

In the Qianqing Palace, Li Chongyi stood beside the coffin, stroking the cat with his hand. The ribs were very clear and prominent, and he had lost weight too fast.

Someone approached the late emperor's body, and the cat rarely grinned. Perhaps it felt the man's gentle movements. The cat trembled slightly, which was regarded as a response, but its body did not move, obviously not wanting to eat.

Knowing that he could not tolerate it any longer, the new emperor forcefully took the cat out, as light and weightless as a piece of paper.

There was a familiar scent lingering in the nostrils. The kitten did not struggle, opened its eyes with difficulty, and called out.

Li Chongyi sat down with the cat in his arms and carefully picked out the fish bones. A small piece of fragrant fish meat was brought to its mouth. The cat turned its head and refused.

"No, you haven't eaten for two days. You must eat a little today." He frowned, worried that the kitten would be hungry, so he forcibly removed the kitten's mouth.

As soon as the fish was put in, the kitten immediately became nauseated and vomited it out.

It had been too long since he had eaten, and his stomach would definitely not be able to bear it after eating so much. Li Chongyi quickly disposed of the residue, called someone to bring him a bowl of brown sugar water, and fed it to the kitten bit by bit.

Now I can only rely on sugar water to keep the kitten alive.

Good news came from the border. General Zhao successfully suppressed the riot and was already on his way back. He only hoped that Zhao Yan could persuade Mao Mao by then.

When the late emperor passed away, the cabinet distributed the posthumous edicts to various places, and the whole country mourned.

Local officials from all over the country wore mourning clothes and took off their tassels and knelt in the suburbs to greet the deceased. They paid tribute to the deceased in the main hall of the Yamen and mourned twice a day, morning and evening.

In addition to being sent to all parts of the country, the edict must also be sent to other vassal states and neighboring countries to show respect.

When the Yue monarch received the imperial edict, his expression was sad, but his heart was full of joy, and he was planning an annexation. Now that Emperor Li Chao was dead, and the new emperor who ascended the throne was only a thirteen-year-old child, Da Li Chao was in danger, and it was a good opportunity to attack.

However, General Zhao took the lead and led the army back to the capital, and the Yue monarch had to temporarily give up his plan.

Zhao Yan knew about the emperor's soul relocation. As soon as he suppressed the riots at the border, he received the news of the emperor's death. He hurriedly returned to the palace in the capital, and all he saw was a coffin and a dying white cat.

Holding back to check Mao'er's mood, Zhao Yan turned around to find the new emperor.

Looking at those eyes that were similar to those of an emperor, Zhao Yan couldn't help but call out: "Third brother?"

Li Chongyi shook his head silently.

Zhao Yan's heart suddenly became cold, but that was the fact. The third brother failed to transfer his soul. After recognizing the reality and calming down, he asked again: "What's wrong with the kitten? It looks much thinner than when this general left."

"The cat was so sad that it stayed beside the late emperor's body and refused to eat. The imperial doctor said it was a mental illness. If the knot in his heart cannot be untied, the consequences may be disastrous."

"Except for the late emperor, the kitten is most attached to you, General Zhao. I hope you can persuade it."

Li Chongyi stamped the blue seal on the memorial, raised his eyes, stated the facts, and placed all his hopes on the other party.

As expected, Zhao Yan knew that the death of the late emperor had a great impact on Mao'er, but he did not expect that it would be fatal. He nodded and turned back to the Zi coffin.

The little one curled up into a ball, and was shockingly thin. Cats are naturally clean and tidy, and would keep their hair white, but now it was gray and lackluster.

"Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, wake up, this general is back to see you, Xiaojiu."

He had strong hands and did not dare to strike rashly, for fear of breaking the fragile little guy and making him invisible again. The death of the third brother was not a pain for him. If Xiaojiu also followed, he would not Know what's the point of living.

Hearing the familiar voice, the kitten was finally willing to open his eyes, stand up, and stumble towards the other person.

Zhao Yan carefully picked it up and wiped away the tears that were constantly overflowing from the corners of the kitten's eyes. The big, round blue eyes were extremely sad at the moment, and his heart also shrank.

It hurts badly.

"Xiaojiu, my dear, third brother is gone, and this general is with you. I heard that you refuse to eat, so what can I do? If third brother knows, he will definitely beat you. Don't worry, this general will love you even more. "

"Xiaojiu Xiaojiu, what will happen to me if you leave? You can't be so cruel and leave me alone in the world..."

Zhao Yan kissed Mao'er's furry head tremblingly. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He had to admit that like his third brother, he had an extraordinary affection for Mao'er. It was only when Mao'er was dying that he realized what he felt in his heart. idea.

The third brother understood his emotions from the beginning and doted on the cat in every possible way. The beloved cat watched his death with his own eyes. How desperate the third brother must have been before he died.

Under Zhao Yan's persuasion, Mao Mao was finally willing to leave the late emperor's body and eat something.

After being depressed for a few days, Mao Mao probably realized that people cannot be resurrected, so he no longer stubbornly stayed by the coffin, but stayed far away from the coffin.

Until the body was taken to the funeral and buried, the kitten never took another look.
