I'm here to find my son

Since today's emperor is following the road of diligence and love for the people, hard work and simplicity, except for necessary repairs, no palaces and pavilions have been added to the palace for decades.

Therefore, this imperial palace can never be said to be magnificent and magnificent, but the imperial palace is an imperial palace after all, and compared with the lazy heavenly court, it is actually more solemn and solemn.

The eunuch led him all the way into the palace, and when he arrived at the place, the eunuch stood still and said in a sharp voice: "Report to the emperor, he has already been brought."

"Come in." The old emperor had just drank the medicine, and although his voice was still obviously lacking in energy, it was not so empty at least.

Xiao Zhen just wanted to go in with Nan Zimu, but was stopped by the father-in-law, who said with a half-smile: "Our servants dare not listen to what the masters are saying, you should go and wait outside the hall with our family .”

The old emperor leaned on the upright pillow, and showed a kind smile to Huanxi: "Chengyan, come, come to grandfather."

Xiao Huanxi looked up at Nan Zimu, as if asking for his opinion. Nan Zimu looked around calmly, and then put his hand on Huanxi's hair.

According to Nan Zimu's first instinct, there must be a lot of people hiding in the dark here.

"Your Majesty." Nan Zimu stood still, his eyes fell on the wrinkled face of the old emperor. His facial features were very different from Li Xingzhi's, and Nan Zimu couldn't distinguish the details from the muddy eyes. Anything resembling Lord Hou.

The old emperor's eyes wandered between him and Huanxi, and then he said nonchalantly, "Didn't Xingzhi ever teach you how to behave?"

Nanzi Muwu smiled to himself, and bowed to him neither humble nor overbearing: "They are all mortals, the Holy One is no more noble than ordinary people, we have nothing to do with each other, I don't need anything from you, why should I give you a big gift? I respect you only because you are the elder of Xingzhi, that's all."

The court ladies standing beside the emperor's bed with their heads bowed were silent, and they didn't even dare to lift their eyes. Just when they thought the old emperor would be furious, his expression remained motionless, and his tone remained calm: "Within Liuhe, in the whole world, who is not me?" Your subjects? Since you are my subjects, there is no reason not to bow your head to me."

It's a pity that Nan Zimu is really not in any Liuhe, he embraced Huanxi in his arms, and said unhurriedly: "Who are your people now?"

Nanzi Muxin said that you should stop posting on me.

"I originally thought that the emperor of the ninety-five years, generous and benevolent, didn't stick to these vain things, but I didn't expect you to like to press other people's heads to make them kneel?" Nan Zimu said unhurriedly, "Kneeling is not surrender, Not necessarily willingly, at least when I bowed to you, I didn't think about how to cheat Jiangshan out of your hands."

"Oh?" The old emperor smiled instead of anger, "How do you say?"

A little court lady walked over with a gold-painted wooden tray, blessed the emperor, and lowered her head to bring tea to the tea table next to her.

The old emperor took a meaningful look at the cup of tea, and then abruptly changed his voice: "Both of you sit down, this should be fruit tea, and Chengyan can drink it too."

Nan Zimu looked at the cup of tea, suddenly sneered, and then sat down leisurely: "It seems that the emperor may not really love Li Xingzhi as much as the rumors say."

"How come?" The old emperor was whetted by him, "Tell me."

"The emperor didn't consider his feelings when he bestowed marriage on Xingzhi at the beginning. It's not that he didn't confess his thoughts to you, but the emperor feels that there is no one in Liuhe that you can't control." Nanzi Mu paused After a pause, he said again, "Whether it's the wife or the throne, you forced it on him. You don't care about the evils of the government and the opposition, and you are drowning in the illusion of peace and prosperity, and now you are forcing Xingzhi to help this thousand-year-old man." A dynasty riddled with holes."

"Now that the Xiongnu are marching into the Central Plains, you can't get rid of the traitors who are already entangled in the ruling and opposition parties. And all of these fall on Xingzhi's shoulders, and now the emperor still listens to rumors, huh." Nanzi Muwu said to himself, "Monsters and rumors are just a cover. The emperor understands it in his heart, but he doesn't understand it on the surface. You are also very happy to use this to get rid of me."

"After all, this time Li Xingzhi suddenly went against your will. Instead of marrying the daughter of a rich family, he was with a non-traditional man. After all, the emperor thinks that the mother of the world cannot be a man. The emperor thinks this is I lost face to your Li family."

The old emperor was startled, and then he grinned: "I thought it was just because of your appearance, but you are still an eloquent brother - the tea is cold, just get another cup of tea .”

outside the temple.

Xiao Zhen stood by the door frame bored, and when someone approached him out of curiosity, he pretended to be deaf and dumb.Nan Zimu told him not to touch anything, so he stood upright, making sure that his sleeves didn't even touch the door frame.

Not long after, the little maid who had just entered backed out again, and complained to Xiao Zhen with a sad face: "Oh, the masters are not satisfied, so they asked me to change a cup of tea."

Xiao Zhen raised her index finger in front of her lips, and kindly reminded her: "Don't talk about the master, this is still the imperial palace, be careful not to cause harm."

A hint of cunning flashed in the eyes of the court lady, and then deliberately pretended to be pitiful, and leaned over to talk to Xiaozhen: "Hey, I understand, but aren't you tired from standing here? Why don't you drink some fruit tea to quench your thirst. Anyway, the master doesn't want this cup of tea anymore, it's a waste if it's poured..."

"No...no way." Xiao Zhen shook her head repeatedly, even if she had been with Nan Zimu, an easy-going master for a long time, he didn't dare to exceed the rules, the master's things were just used to feed cats and dogs, they were servants, He also decided not to dare to eat it recklessly, "This is against the rules, if people find out, both of us will be in trouble."

The palace maid frowned: "Why are you so timid? There is no one around here now, and no one will know if you take a few sips secretly."

Xiao Zhen was indeed thirsty, but he only swallowed dryly, still determined: "Rules are rules, if you want to drink, drink it yourself."

Seeing Xiao Zhen's stubbornness, the maid gritted her teeth angrily. If she failed to complete the task, Song Yili would not only not realize her dream of going out of the palace to get married, but might even kill her.

How to do?

Suddenly she had an idea and pretended to leave, but she stopped when she got behind Xiao Zhen, then quietly took off the thin hairpin from her hair, and rushed towards Xiao Zhen recklessly.

In an instant, there was the sound of skin being torn, the tea fell to the ground with a muffled snort, and the maid's artificial exclamation.

Then the maid kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I just found out that my handkerchief was missing, and I wanted to run back to look for it, but accidentally... I'm sorry."

"It's all right." The wound on Xiao Zhen's wrist was immediately poured with warm fruit tea, and now it hurts badly, "What's on your hand?"

"No." The maid said guiltyly, her palms were constantly sweating, "Maybe there is something on my clothes? How could it be drawn like this..."

After seeing the wound on Xiao Zhen's wrist that was not deep and not shallow, the maid immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Their movement quickly alarmed several eunuchs, and the young father-in-laws gathered around and accused: "How careless, if you disturb the Holy Majesty, ten lives of you are not enough to accompany you, pack up and leave."

The leading eunuch saw that Xiao Zhen's body was wet, so he said, "You are not from the palace, are you? But standing here like this is also unseemly, go and change clothes with Xiao Anzi...Ah, your eyes!"

Xiaozhen's pupils turned red rapidly, and soon became a pair of eyes glowing red, and then his ears began to become pointed, and his arms were covered with a layer of fine down.

Several eunuchs and even the maid screamed, and the hall was filled with howling ghosts and wolves for a moment, "Help!" and "Monster!" one after another.This time it is impossible not to alarm the old emperor inside.

The bewildered Xiao Zhen was quickly taken down by the Imperial Forest Army. He watched in horror as the hair on the back of his hand grew faster and faster, gathered quickly, and finally became a smooth fox fur.

Everyone present looked at her with eyes of fear or contempt. Xiao Zhen was both frightened and frightened, so she could only crouch on the ground trembling with weak legs.

"Aaah..."

"I'm not, I'm not a monster..."

"Ugh..."

The old emperor recruited a young eunuch to go in and asked, "What's going on outside? Why are you making such a fuss?"

The little eunuch described Xiaozhen's sudden change in horror. Since the incident happened suddenly, the little eunuch was timid, so the content of the retelling inevitably had some exaggerated elements in it, making it sound even more terrifying.

"Impossible." Nan Zimu will find it difficult to talk to the old emperor calmly now, his tone is obviously more urgent than before.

The old emperor's forehead twitched: "Press him in."

The little eunuch: "The monster looks too scary, and I don't know if it can be magical. If we bring him in hastily, I'm afraid it will be dangerous to the saint..."

"Do you want me to say it again?"

"Yes." The little eunuch nodded quickly and ran out quickly.

Xiao Zhen, who was carried by two big men in the Imperial Forest Army with one arm, kept crying and explained: "I'm not a monster...I'm not, my lord..."

When Nan Zimu saw Xiao Zhen's appearance clearly, he was also taken aback. He almost had no time to think, and the old emperor said coldly: "Now your so-called pretense is real."

"Xiao Zhen, what did you do just now?" Nan Zimu asked quickly.

Xiao Zhen wiped away her tears: "I... have a court lady! She kept persuading me to drink fruit tea that the emperor and adults don't drink, but when I refused, she suddenly rushed over from behind, and she didn't know what to use to cut through it. broke my wrist..."

After speaking, Xiao Zhen raised the injured arm, but the wound was completely covered by the growing hair.

"It's gone, but it was there just now." Xiao Zhen said excitedly, "She even spilled tea on my wound!"

The old emperor was silent for a while, and the leading eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't trust his gossip."

The old emperor: "Then what about the court lady you mentioned, where is she now?"

Xiao Zhen's eyes wandered around the crowd behind for a long time, but she didn't find the figure of the maid.

Eunuch: "Your Majesty, I think he is lying. The palace is in a commotion and everyone is talking about this monster. In order not to cause unnecessary panic, please think twice."

"What did they say?" The old emperor rubbed his temples.

"They said...the monster needs to be burned to death, otherwise even if it is locked up, he can still do evil in the palace."

The old emperor glanced at Nan Zimu, inexplicably displeased with his perpetually arrogant look, he knew that there must be something hidden about Xiao Zhen, but it would be very troublesome to get to the bottom of it, and——

He wanted to see if Nan Zimu could stay calm until the end.

"Tell me the order to drag this monster to a mass grave, set it up and burn it to death."

"Stop!" Nan Zimu was anxious, "Where's your brain, Emperor Dog?"

"Bastard, what are you scolding me for?" The old emperor suddenly changed color, and the leading eunuch acted accordingly: "Since the servant is a monster, the master will naturally not be clean, although this should not be said by the slave, but If Xiao Shizi is an existence that harms nature and reason by combining humans and demons..."

The old emperor was a little tired, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then what do you think about the two of them?"

"From my point of view, the plague has been prevalent recently, and the contagion is extremely strong. It is better to send them to the residence of the palace people infected with the plague. When the time comes, you only need to see if they are infected, and you can tell whether they are human or demons." .”
