Whoever dotes on me will be the best in the world

At Haishi, the main courtyard of Prince Rui's Mansion was brightly lit.

The butler hurriedly led his attendants out of the master bedroom, closed the door gently, looked back at the food in the hands of the servant behind him, and sighed heavily.

Ying Qi jumped down from the tree clutching his chest, approached and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Wang, how is the cat?"

The butler shook his head, "Oh, it looks like I don't know if I can get through tonight, it can't even breathe out like that. The prince just gave it water, but it leaked out, and it can't wake up even if it can't eat. The imperial doctor said that there is no way to get back to heaven, so what can the prince do? Do you know what happened? A few days ago, it seemed to be fine, why did the cat cub die when I went back to my hometown again?"

Ying Qi glanced at the door, only to feel that the place where the chest was hit before was more painful, so he could only vaguely say: "We don't know too well, it seems that the prince took the cat out, and it was like this when he came back."

He and Ying Liu Ying Wu witnessed the whole process of the little black cat being transformed by the national teacher. It would be a lie if they were not shocked, but the prince once ordered that no one should talk about the little black cat, let alone the shocking world of people turning into cats. No matter how curious they are, they have to keep silent.

The butler patted Ying Qi's hand and understood, "I know you have difficulties. You and Ying Liu are seriously injured. Go back and rest early. Don't use force during this time."

Ying Qi responded, watched the butler take the people away, waited at the door for a while, and left in worry after hearing no movement in the room.

***

On the bed in the master bedroom, a few night pearls that were randomly thrown in gave off a soft and bright light.

Nie Zhen was still wearing the black court clothes he wore when he entered the palace at night. He was sitting in the chair beside the bed, with his hands and elbows propped on the couch, leaning slightly and looking down at the bloody cage wrapped between his arms. heavy.

The slightly red cage is made up of red lines visible to the naked eye, which actually look like strands of extremely thin blood, forming mysterious and complicated patterns in vertical and horizontal circles, and those lines cannot be touched by touch. Touching the entity, it strangely formed an independent space, wrapping the young and weak kitten in it.From the outside, we can see the blood streaks are slowly seeping into the kitten's body.

Nie Zhen stared at the cat in the cage, tentatively covered it with his big hand, and stroked the white fluff on the kitten's forehead very lightly. He slowly closed his eyes, and the pain in his heart spread one after another. open.

"It's my king's fault."

A hoarse voice sounded suddenly, carrying an unknown dark emotion.

"Mao'er has always put the king first in everything, and has never worried about his own body. I let you save people..."

It is good to talk and discuss, and everything goes smoothly, lest the kitten feel restrained and not free, and worry that the kitten will be unhappy.

But what did his connivance get in return?He shouldn't let his cat out of his sight at all, let alone worry about the so-called emotional reciprocity.

What equivalence is required?When did Nie Zhen become indecisive, and I would like to pay attention to your love?It should be pinched into the palm of the hand and taken under the wings for protection at the very beginning.

His hesitation and experimentation cost him the cat.

"Does the cat still remember what this king said?" Nie Zhen gently stroked Xiao Luomo's weak back, "This king will protect you as long as the king lives. Of course, if the cat can't survive, Nie Zhen will There is no need to exist. Remember."

The black cat in the cage closed its eyes tightly, as if it was in pain, it curled up uneasily, and let out a thin and weak cry from its throat.

Nie Zhen hugged it into his palm soothingly, held it close and slowly kissed the kitten's forehead, then carefully put the cat back on the couch, coaxing it in a low voice.

In the past, he was restrained and indifferent, and he was never used to coaxing cats, but now he knows it without a teacher.

Nie Zhen opened his palm, looked at the blood-red mark on his right palm, and remained silent.That's proof he won the fight.

When the mind and soul were split into two at the beginning, they refused to give in to each other, and everyone wanted to occupy the dominance of the body. However, the physical damage caused by the struggle of the soul and soul was extremely great. Every time he won, there would be a blood mark on his palm.Later, in order to protect their bodies, they reached an agreement to only show up within the specified time, and they lived in peace.

Today's loss of control was unexpected, but it was also reasonable.

He hadn't been seen at night for a long time.It was Nie Zhen who broke the contract this time, but he never regretted it. If he couldn't come out, how could he protect the cat?

Suddenly there was a rhythmic knock on the door, and the butler's voice came in.

"My lord, Master Yuan'an has already invited you over."

Nie Zhen clenched her palms tightly, took another deep look at Xiao Luomo, got up and opened the door, and welcomed him in.

***

"This matter has been expected for a long time, but I didn't expect it to come so soon." Master Yuan'an bent down and carefully placed the relic between the kitten's two paws, letting it hold it by itself, then straightened up and continued, "National Teacher What he said is true, his blood curse can indeed help the dying holy cat to continue its life, but it is only temporary, if a complete cure cannot be found, within three days, the holy cat will return to the west."

Yuan An said as he raised his hand and pinched a tactic, forcing out a beam of golden light from his fingertips. As soon as the light touched the cage formed by the blood curse, it quickly spread out, surrounded the cage, and disappeared in an instant. not see.

"My lord, please wipe the blood between the cat's eyebrows." He raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Luomo's forehead.

According to Nie Zhen's words, he cut his fingers and carefully smeared the blood on the kitten's forehead.Following his movements, Xiao Luomo, who was moaning/groaning uncomfortably, slowly calmed down. He unconsciously rubbed his little head against the man's fingers. Finally, the pain was no longer as painful as before, and his throat was soft. He snored, as if falling asleep.

Nie Zhen's indifferent expression couldn't help slowing down a bit, his eyes were deep and gentle.

Seeing him like this, Master Yuan'an just sighed and shook his head and said, "I still need the help of the national teacher for this matter. Although I know the blood curse, I don't know how to draw it. The old national teacher is a good talisman maker, so his disciples will not be bad." It's not easy for Zhu Ming to hide his clumsiness these years, and he can be trusted with good conduct. If the prince sincerely wants to save the cat, then let the national teacher use your blood to redraw a blood curse. The person the cat relies on most is My lord, only the closest relatives are the best choice to provide the medicine for the blood curse."

Nie Zhen pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I understand."

"It's great for the prince to let go of his prejudices." Master Yuan'an stroked his beard, he smiled compassionately, his eyes were compassionate, looked at the prince with a stern face in front of him, and said gently, "Excuse me, sir, is the soul of the prince... already out of order? ? If I remember correctly, the spirit at this moment would have appeared only during the day, right?"

Nie Zhen paused, then said in a deep voice, "Exactly."

"So it is." Master Yuan'an looked dignified, and sighed, "It's all fate. I thought that this cat could help the prince escape, but I never thought that in the prince's heart, the cat is more important than himself... In this way, if the cat is injured, the prince will definitely lose control, and your lives have long been entangled. If you have me in you, and you in me, how can you talk about redemption?"

"Why does this king need redemption?" Nie Zhen curled his lips with a sinister expression, "If it can go well in its life, my hysteria will be cured without medicine."

"What if the cat can't survive this calamity?" Master Yuan'an asked.

"It's just life and death together." Nie Zhen whispered.

He looked at Xiao Luomo with affectionate and nostalgic eyes, a tenderness completely different from his temperament.

Master Yuan'an was silent for a moment, and sighed, "Forget it, the person who tied the bell is needed to untie the bell. The prince has already made a choice in his heart, and it will be useless to be persuaded by others like this. It is rare to have a lover in the world. It is better to be trapped by love than to be alone, old teacher I once asserted that there is no one in the world who can make Prince Rui fall in love. I never thought that the person you love is actually transformed by a holy cat. Sure enough, everything has its own destiny. In this case, this old monk will talk about the method to save it. It depends on whether it is useful or not. The meaning of the prince."

"But it doesn't matter." Nie Zhen replied.

"In the early years, when I traveled with the old master, I met a female ghost, who lived in a remote village with profound knowledge. She never used magic and only treated herself as a mortal. Why do you say that? It's because she loves a man in the village. , in order to stay with the man for the rest of her life, she did not hesitate to abandon the past and stop her practice, without complaint or regret. Later, the man became seriously ill, and she was helpless. A blood contract was signed.

The so-called blood contract, the lifespan of those who sign it is shared, and if one person dies, the other person cannot live alone, it can be said that they live together and die together.Later, the man and the female elf lived to an octogenarian age and passed away together. Everyone in the world knew that the husband and wife had a deep relationship, but they didn't know that the woman was not an extraordinary person.If the prince really wants to save the cat, this is the only way. "

"Why not?" Nie Zhen said in a hoarse voice, "What the master said is exactly what this king hopes for most, as long as the cat can survive."

"Amitabha." Master Yuan'an rolled the Buddha beads in his hands, with deep pain in his eyes, "I shouldn't have told the prince about this. The prince's fate is strange. If there is no such cat, he will definitely rule the world in the future. But God's will tricks people In the end, he couldn't escape. Prince Rui, do you remember what the old monk said that day? The black cat was not supposed to transform, its transformation was at the price of life, and it was doomed to die young. The lifespan is shared equally, and Prince Rui's lifespan is only as long as Buhuo, so, are you willing?"

"Naturally." Nie Zhen nodded.He leaned over and carefully picked up the cat, put it on a soft pillow, and wiped away the blood between Xiao Luomo's eyebrows with a handkerchief.

Master Yuan'an nodded with satisfaction, "Then the blood contract should be led by the national teacher. When I go back, I will send someone to inform Guo Zhuming that he has completed his studies, and he should do these things."

Nie Zhen nodded and watched the master leave.

He turned around and was about to pick up the kitten when suddenly there was another sound from behind him.

"The way the prince loves cats is not something I should interfere with, but I still want to tell you the last thing, if you care about it, you must control your mind. The prince should have learned what will happen if you lose your mind seven years ago."

Nie Zhen bent down indifferently, and gently picked up the cat.

A fiery kiss fell on Xiao Luomo's forehead, and it was instantly broken.

He looked at the red mark on his palm, sneered, and then slowly closed his eyes.

The tall body swayed for a moment, and quickly stood still.

The man opened his eyes, his brows and eyes gently curled into a smile, and he said softly.

"I am afraid that only cats are qualified to question how this king should love cats. But...it is useless to question now."

He said earlier that if something happened, he would no longer give the cat freedom.

***

On the second day of the garrison, at the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion.

When Zhu Ming got off the carriage with Princess Changle, his palms were still a little sweaty.He still has lingering fears when he thinks about what happened last night.Although he already knew that Prince Rui's temperament was rebellious and irritable, but when confronted head-on, he found that he still couldn't keep his composure.

Seeing Zhu Ming's forehead dripping with cold sweat, Chang Le couldn't help throwing a handkerchief to him in a funny way, "I wonder why you brought me here all of a sudden, Brother Wang, because you're afraid of him. You're so scared before you see him, What should I do if I faint later?"

Zhu Ming's face turned red when he heard the words, he pushed the wheelchair and turned around, and said shamelessly, "Princess, don't blame me. I really... have been too afraid since I was young, so that I haven't been able to get rid of this habit now."

Princess Changle signaled Chuntao to carry the lantern, and she went to the back of Zhuming's wheelchair to help him push it, and said with a smile, "You don't need to worry too much. I'm just joking. With Brother Wang's character, Daqing is afraid that there will be too many people around him." I’ve gone, I’m a little scared sometimes, let alone you. Fortunately, he didn’t get out of control and hurt you last night, otherwise I would really be angry with him.”

"..." Zhu Ming's heart collapsed when he heard the words, but he didn't show it on his face.

In fact, he really wanted to say that it's not that Brother Wang didn't want to hurt me, but that the few slaps that hit me were all blocked by the shadow guard who "be brave for justice".

Thinking of the shadow guard who was seriously injured and fell to the ground last night, Zhu Ming felt terrified for a while.He has never figured out why he suddenly took the initiative to hand over Xiao Luomo, obviously at that time he lost his ability to think because of extreme fear, and it was impossible to do that.But the body seemed out of control at that moment, and even the words that came out of his mouth were very strange, really not like him.After Prince Rui left, he passed out and didn't wake up until the third watch.

While thinking, a group of people have been welcomed into the main courtyard by the housekeeper.

Princess Changle saw Nie Zhen coming out of the inner room with the cat in his arms, with a gentle expression on her face, the same as she used to be smiling, her heart relaxed, and she smiled with red eyes.

"Brother Wang is fine, Chang Le thought..." She waved her hand, turned around and secretly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, then pushed Zhu Ming's wheelchair to Nie Zhen's side, and said playfully, "This is the culprit." 'My palace is here for you, Brother Wang, please take it easy, don't frighten Le'er's future son-in-law."

Nie Zhen chuckled, "It's just you being naughty. Don't worry, I have invited the national teacher to come here today, and I still need to ask the national teacher for help."

When Zhu Ming saw Nie Zhen's smile, he was frightened out of his wits, he stammered, "Rui...Prince Rui...you're being polite, Yuan Chen...Master today...so...he sent a letter to me, asking me... ...Go all out, Prince Rui...you can rest assured."

Chang Le was taken aback when he saw this, then covered his lips and tried hard to hold back the smile, and tears came out of the hold for a while.

Nie Zhen glanced at her indifferently, and only said gently, "In that case, the king will thank the national teacher first."

Zhu Ming nodded nervously. He motioned to Nie Zhen to put Xiao Luomo on the couch beside him, then pushed the wheelchair and followed him. After obtaining Nie Zhen's permission, he stretched out his hand to carefully check Xiao Luomo's physical condition, and at the same time asked Nie Zhen Zhen put a bowl of blood as the carrier of the blood curse.In the end, he stepped back a little, and said as calmly as possible:

"After the blood curse is completed, the prince needs to take care of the holy cat every step of the way, at least for three days. Remember this."

Seeing that Nie Zhen agreed, Zhu Ming said some more precautions, and then made a formula with both hands, with blood on his two fingers, and quickly drew a blood curse on Xiao Luomo's body.

Chang Le has put away his smile, watching his movements with some worry.She didn't believe these things at first, but Zhu Ming explained the origin of Xiao Luomo to her today... She was really amazed.

A quarter of an hour later, the red light gradually rose, forming a scarlet cage that was wider than yesterday.

The cage spun in mid-air, continuously circling up, and then slowly falling. The moment it touched Xiao Luomo, it couldn't wait to cover the kitten, and it floated up as if consciously, rushing forward with lightning speed. into Nie Zhen's arms.

Surprised by this turn of events, Zhu Ming turned to look at Nie Zhen. Seeing that the man was holding the cat with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and he didn't look uncomfortable at all, he turned his head back with a strange expression.

This was the first time he had seen a blood curse that would automatically choose its owner... and it seemed that the blood curse had exactly the same possessiveness as its owner.

Reminiscent of Master Yuan'an asking him to help Prince Rui and the Holy Cat sign a blood contract, Zhu Ming had mixed feelings for a moment, looked down at the porcelain bowl with half a bowl of blood left in front of him, and recalled that he only asked Nie Zhen to provide one-third of the blood. One can, but the man still gave a whole bowl...

Perhaps, Prince Rui is the best person to take care of Xiao Luomo.
