I am a cat in the palace

It has been half a month since the capital was pacified.

Duan Zhenghong and Concubine Duan conspired to poison the late emperor. Under the testimony of several imperial physicians and Asi, the evidence was conclusive, and they were sentenced to Ling Chi and the nine clans.

The nobles who followed the Duan family and the Lin family, including the Zhao family of the false emperor's emperor, were ransacked. The men above the age of 12 were the head of the family, and the men and women under the age of 12 were sent to the army as slaves.

There are many others, anyway, rewards for meritorious deeds and punishments for crimes, just for the purpose of setting rewards and convictions for crimes, the newly appointed chiefs of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment almost fought several times.

But no matter what, after half a month, the big things are basically settled, and the next step is the issue of the new emperor's accession to the throne.

What's worth mentioning is that during the process of cleaning up the palace, two court elders, Lu Chaozhong and Shen Youmin, and several old ministers who had almost been forgotten in the depths of the dungeon were unexpectedly discovered.

Both Lu Chaozhong and Shen Youmin were so thin that they were almost out of shape. Shen Youmin was helped to the door of the prison. When he saw the sunlight outside for the first time, he passed out immediately.

"Place the elders well, and send an imperial doctor to each of them to take good care of them." Shang Xin ordered, and the order was immediately sent to the imperial hospital and carried out step by step.

Shang Xin did not live in the palace. Firstly, the palace has not been cleaned up. Secondly, as the next emperor that everyone has agreed to, entering the palace again should be the time for the official enthronement ceremony. Before that, he stayed in the palace temporarily. In Liao Ling Wuzheng's General's Mansion in Beijing.

It has been almost 20 years since Ling Wuzheng's General's Mansion was built. During this period, except for a few old servants sent by Ling Wuzheng to take care of the elderly, they have never lived in the owner, but they did not expect that the mansion that had been vacant for 20 years welcomed the owner for the first time. It turned out to be so grand, and besides the owner, there is a new emperor in the future. It is foreseeable that after the new emperor enters the palace, this house will inevitably be temporarily vacant again, because it will become a formal residence for the new emperor. From then on, except for the descendants of the new emperor, ordinary people are no longer allowed to stay.

Originally, Ling Wuzheng was supposed to stay with Shang Xin in the General's Mansion, but I don't know what he thought, but he had to squeeze into Wei Yin's house next door. According to reliable sources, it was because General Ling made a mistake at some point. He said a word, which annoyed Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei didn't say anything at the time, but after entering the capital, he went back to his home and refused to see General Ling again.

General Ling has always been obedient to Mr. Wei, and he dare not refuse. When he saw that Mr. Wei was really annoyed, he didn't care about his face and rules, so he climbed the wall and entered Mr. Wei's yard that night. Since that night, he has lived directly at Mr. Wei's house and refused to leave again.

Anyway, to Shang Xin, it doesn't make any difference whether his uncle lives in his own house or in Mr. Wei's house, it's just a matter of going one more door, so of course they let them go.

Daxian was smeared with blood again, although now Daxian can freely transform into a human form, but in order to save some blood for Shang Xin, he will still transform into a cat shape when he is bathed in blood.However, Shang Xin said that it is usually possible, but the last time he bathes his body with blood, he must transform into a human form, otherwise all previous efforts may be wasted.

I don't know if it's because Shang Xin suffered too much pain, every time I saw Shang Xin take out that special long needle and stick it into the heart to draw blood, Daxian's heart would throb with pain. The pain was sharp enough to make him twitch, but seeing Shang Xin's smiling face, he could only force himself to be calm, and obediently waited beside him.

After Shang Xin finished drawing the blood, he immediately rushed forward and quickly healed his wound with spiritual power.It's just that every time, he intentionally leaves a shallow scar.

"Daxian, are you still angry? Why do you still leave me a scar every time?" Shang Xin looked helplessly at the new pale pink circle mark on her chest, each one was numb. Yes, but it's really not very pretty.

Daxian leaned over, stretched out his barbed tongue and gently licked the pale pink scar on Shang Xin's chest, "This is not for you, this is for me, so as long as Every time I see it, I will remember how much you have suffered for me."

The muscles in Shangxin's chest shrank suddenly when Daxian's tongue licked it, but after hearing Daxian's words, he chuckled thoughtfully: "Every time you see it..."

Daxian was a little confused by his laughter, but he quickly realized that the tongue that was still touching Shang Xin's chest was replaced by fangs.

But Shang Xin didn't care at all, and just insisted: "You left the scar, and you said you wanted to see it. From now on, you have to read it every night. I promise to take it off every day for you to see."

Hearing such shameless words, Daxian even showed the tips of his claws.

"Your Highness, there is an old friend asking to see you."

Shang Xin was playing with Daxian, but heard someone outside the door reporting.

An old friend?

Shang Xin and Daxian looked out the door at the same time.

It is true that Shang Xin has a lot of old acquaintances in Beijing, but at this moment, there should not be many who dare to call themselves old friends in front of him, "Who is it?"

After hearing the name and surname of the visitor, Shang Xin was overjoyed, and immediately hurriedly ordered someone to invite the old man in.

The man hurriedly walked into the door following the pass-through waiter, but when he was about to enter the door, he almost tripped over the threshold. Shang Xin, who was striding to meet him, leaned forward, grabbed him, and stood up.

When the man bowed slightly and raised his head, the two looked at each other with uncontrollable excitement on their faces.

"Slave... Slave...greetings...to my little prince..." The old man held his voice in his throat and repeated it several times before he could say it. Full of tears.

"Fu... Uncle Fu, get up, get up, get up!" Seeing the gray-haired old man in front of him kneeling on his knees, Shang Xin quickly grabbed him, "Sit down, sit down and talk."

"Uncle Fu, where have you been all these years? Why haven't the dark guards found any news about you?"

The old man was Fulin who stayed in the palace on the night of Lantern Festival and failed to leave the capital with Shang Xin.

"Your Highness, in fact, this servant has been hiding in the capital all these years. It's just that this servant is an incomplete person who can't make a living and is easily recognized by others. Therefore, I can only pretend to be a deaf and dumb beggar and walk around the streets begging for money. Have a meal."

Hearing what Fulin said, Shangxin felt sad, and he took old Fulin's rough hands, "Uncle Fu, I have suffered for you all these years. What about Adong? Didn't you say that Adong has been following you? Others Woolen cloth?"

"Ah...Ah Dong..." Old Fulin was startled for a moment, but then he looked bewildered, "He wasn't with me. On the night of Lantern Festival, I went out of Yongshan Palace with him, but After the accident in Xingde Palace, I asked him to quickly find a way to leave the palace to report to you, what? Didn't he find His Highness?"

Shang Xin shook his head lightly, "No."

Since he was not found, nor did he return to Old Fulin's side, where A Dong went seems to be a guessable ending...

Daxian has been squatting on the table of the Eight Immortals not far away. At first, he watched Shangxin and Fulin standing by the door like that. You talked lively and didn't bother you, but he watched and said Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she jumped out with a "meow", crawled along Shang Xin's clothes and climbed onto his shoulders, looking down at Fulin.

"Old Fulin, you haven't greeted me yet."

"Big—great fairy!" Old Fulin was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the great fairy, but when he looked closely, he was surprised.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, but Daxian is still so smart and spirited." Old Fulin looked at Daxian with a smile that narrowed his eyes, but he didn't know if it was because he hadn't seen him for so long. He always felt that Daxian looked more beautiful and dignified than before. The fur all over the body is like satin, even the tops of the fur are shining, and the eyes are even brighter like stars in the night. It makes people dare not look at the second time after seeing it for the first time, for fear of being caught by those eyes. It seems that the soul is taken away.

"Of course I'm smart, but you...you look a lot older." Daxian always speaks straight and straight to ordinary people. Looking at Lao Fulin's almost white hair, he couldn't help it. Shaking his head and sighing.

Shang Xin raised his hand and patted Daxian's head, "Uncle Fu is getting old, and he has endured a lot of hardships these years, so he will naturally look old. When I return to the palace in a while, I will arrange a good place for you. At that time, it will recover naturally after a period of time with good soup and water.”

Fulin was moved to tears again when he heard the words, "Your Highness, although this servant is getting old, as long as I still have breath, I must continue to serve my little master. The life of a servant is low, and being able to follow His Highness is the greatest blessing for a servant. His Highness continues to put the slaves by his side, and the slaves are willing to die."

While talking, Fulin wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Shang Xin.

"Uncle Fu, get up, get up, no matter where you are, you are my Uncle Fu, you and Aunt Chen used to be my most trusted and closest people, now Aniang Chen is gone, only you are left. Don't say 'death' so easily, I hope you can live a long life."

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, this old slave... This old slave will live a long life and live well. In the future, this old slave will not only serve His Highness, but also His Highness's children, and your little Highnesses, old slave." You must live well."

Your Highness... and all of you... Shang Xin couldn't help twitching the corners of his lips when he heard Fu Lin's sudden words, and gently raised his hand to caress Fu Daxian's back, "Well, it's all for the future, Let’s talk about it later. I’ll let someone take you down to rest first, and after the enthronement ceremony, I’ll send someone to pick you up into the palace.”

Fulin nodded in agreement, and babbled to Shang Xin about how he missed him after parting for a long time, and then followed the waiter down with tears in his eyes.

Shang Xin looked at his back and pondered for a long time.

"What's the matter? What are you thinking about?" Daxian was still sitting on his shoulder, seeing that he was only looking at Fulin's back without saying a word for a long time, he couldn't help being a little surprised, so he stretched out his paw and gently scratched his hair.

"Wan Ji!" Shang Xin called out suddenly.

Ever since entering the capital, Wan Ji followed Shang Xin again.

"Your Highness, your subordinates are here."

"Go and find out where Fulin has been all these years, and where Adong has been."

"Yes."

Hearing Shang Xin's order, even though it was Fulin who wanted to be investigated, Wan Ji did not hesitate at all, and went to arrange it immediately after receiving the order.

On the contrary, Daxian sitting on Shang Xin's shoulder was a little puzzled, "Why do you want to check Fulin? Is there something wrong with him?"

"It is impossible for a person who has been a beggar for five years to have such clean hands."

"Maybe it was washed and washed specially to see you?"

"Even if you wash it ten times, it's impossible to wash away the frostbite and scars. Remember those days when we fled? Which beggar's hands are intact without any wounds?"

Daxian: ...
