you poked my tail

It was getting dark, and they found an inn to stay in. After taking a shower, Bai Ruan turned into a human figure, dragging his chubby face with his hands to think about things.

After a while, he said to Chu Heng, "Heng, Ah Ruan thinks it's better for you not to go to the capital." His voice was soft but worried.

Chu Heng looked at him with gentle eyes and a gentle voice, "With you by my side, I have nothing to be afraid of."

This sentence immediately made the little goblin's tail go up to the sky, her chest puffed out, and she looked like she was not afraid of anything, and she felt that she was the most powerful goblin in the world, and said, "Of course it is. A mortal cannot."

Chu Heng smiled, walked over and hugged Bai Ruan, "It's getting late, let's go to bed, we have to hurry tomorrow."

Bai Ruan nodded obediently, and climbed onto the bed with the little tit.

But because this inn is a small inn, the beds are also small, and the white and soft stools have turned into a fox shape, so that sleeping is not crowded.

But sleeping until midnight, Chu Heng accidentally pressed his tail, and this pressure lasted all night. When he woke up the next day, Bai Ruan looked at him with eyes full of resentment, with tears in his round eyes, hugging himself. With a big tail, he said angrily, "A-Heng crushed Ah Ruan's tail."

Chu Heng blamed himself and deeply apologized, stroking his beard that had been pulled down due to anger, and stroking the small round head of the white fluffy ball in front of him distressedly.

Bai Ruan gasped, and said fiercely, "Is it time to stroke Ah Ruan's beard and stroke Ah Ruan's head?"

Chu Heng was a little at a loss, stroked his soft round face, "What about Ah Heng?"

Bai Ruan was soft, "Take it as a hug, then say something nice, coax me well, and then buy some delicious food for Ah Ruan."

Chu Heng, "..."

From the fiefdom to the capital, it takes about five days at a fast pace. If the carriage is so slow, it may take half a month at least, or it may take a month at most.

Chu Heng followed Bai Ruan all the way, as long as he was happy, he didn't mind at all if he stopped and looked around.

On a strange land, just in time for the temple fair, Bai Ruan hugged a small tit and twitched on the street, full of wonder.

When he met his father and Xu Shifeng, Bai Ruan's small face was completely wrinkled, his cheeks were slightly bulging, his eyes were round, and he looked at them both angrily, with an unhappy appearance.

"Don't ask too much about Chihu Baicheng." Bai Hexuan said.

Hearing this, Bai Ruan was a little puzzled and said, "That's why you came to me to talk about it?" He became unhappy again as he spoke, and his small face wrinkled again, "Ah Cheng is Ah Ruan's friend."

Bai Hexuan snorted, and said, "I told you not to meddle in other people's business, just don't meddle, where are you talking so much?"

Bai Ruan was aggrieved and did not speak.

"Little Ruaner, don't be angry," Xu Shifeng smiled, "He has a doom that he wants to survive, and you can't help him." He couldn't help stretching out his hands to pinch Bai Ruan's soft face.

Bai Ruan's two small eyebrows twitched, and he looked at Xu Shifeng with beautiful eyes, "The calamity? The catastrophe?"

Xu Shifeng smiled meaningfully, and said, "Reincarnation of cause and effect, grievances and grievances in previous lives, doomsday is inevitable, and you can only get a new life after going through a lot of calamities." After a slight pause, he glanced at Chu Heng who was standing aside, and continued to smile, "Xiao Ruan'er, don't worry about other people's business, but take care of your own business."

Bai Ruan pursed her lips, looked at his father, then looked at Xu Shifeng, and finally turned to look at his family's A-Heng, and then went to his family's A-Heng with her little tit in her arms.

Xu Shifeng hadn't finished laughing yet, his smile froze on his face, he couldn't help shaking his head and said, "This love disaster is really..." He said and looked at Bai Hexuan, "Old Baihu, tell me, if Little Ruaner and Tian..."

"Hey!" Bai Hexuan interrupted him in time, and said in a deep voice, "It depends on their own good fortune about the matter of calamity. Aren't we going to Qinglian Mountain to find that little stone lion today? It's getting late, let's go." Said Completely disappeared.

Xu Shifeng glanced at Chu Heng and Bai Ruan before leaving, as if he wanted to say something to Chu Heng, he waved to him and said, "Little Ruan'er's lady."

Chu Heng stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "What orders does the Great Immortal have?"

Xu Shifeng smiled, "You and Xiao Ruan'er already know the first life and the second life. In fact, it is also called the first catastrophe, the second catastrophe, is this the third catastrophe? The time is coming, you have to figure it out. .”

These words were very meaningful, causing Chu Heng to frown, and was about to ask, but Xu Shifeng disappeared.

Bai Ruan looked at Chu Heng with her mouth pursed, then walked over with the little tit in her arms, and asked aggrievedly, "What did Grandpa Xu Shifeng tell you?"

Chu Heng came back to his senses, looked at him, saw the little goblin with a slumped face, couldn't help stroking his face, and said, "Grandpa Xu Shifeng said, father is embarrassed to tell me, but he asked me to take good care of you." .”

Bai Ruan snorted, and said resentfully, "When did Ah Heng learn to lie to Ah Ruan? My father always said what he had to say. How could he ask Grandpa Xu Shifeng to pass it on to you."

Chu Heng couldn't help laughing lowly because of the little goblin's resentful round eyes, nodded and said, "My Ah Ruan is really smart."

Bai Ruan pursed his lips, and said softly, "It's up to you to say, Ah Ruan is a fox, so he is naturally smart." As he spoke, he let the little tit fly onto Chu Heng's shoulder, and he held Chu Heng's hand, "I Father and Xu Shifeng are two old men, you'd better not listen to them, because one of them is a fox and the other is a cunning old man, and there must be no good things for these two old things to get together."

Chu Heng, "..."

Bai Ruan licked the corners of his lips, blinked his round eyes, and said, "Ah Ruan is right, they have lived for tens of thousands of years, and when they are free, they will Bullying people with bad ideas, good or bad."

Chu Heng couldn't help but smiled again, making him inexplicably feel soft, and nodded in agreement.

Bai Ruan dragged him two steps away, he didn't know what was going on in his head, and then looked up at him, "Heng, you call Xianggong to come and let Ah Ruan listen."

Chu Heng resisted the urge to spank the little goblin's buttocks, looked at him amusedly, and asked, "What's going on in your head?"

Bai Ruan's lips curled up, and he looked at him, "When Ah Ruan and A Que were visiting the temple fair, the young ladies who went to the temple fair on the street all called their husband-in-law one by one. Ah Heng and Ah Ruan have been married for so long, Ah Heng hasn't called Mr. Ah Ruan a few times."

Chu Heng didn't know how to answer what he said to him for a while, his eyes looked away, and then fell on Bai Ruan's overly beautiful face, and said softly, "Mr.

For Chu Heng, he was extremely happy to be able to make his little goblin happy by calling him a gentleman.

Bai Ruan's round eyes were shining brightly, and there was water in them, and a happy smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth involuntarily, and he responded crisply, "Hey!" After that, he hugged Chu Heng, and shouted, "Ma'am."

The corner of Chu Heng's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't answer.

Bai Ruan looked up at him, then softly called his wife again.

Chu Heng caressed the back of his head with his big hand, and responded in a low voice.

The man and the monster hugged each other for a while, Chu Heng looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, let's go on the road."

"But Ah Ruan wants to see the wild flowers beside the road." Bai Ruan said and ran to the roadside to play with the little tit.

Chu Heng had no choice but to stand together and accompany quietly, with the unconcealable tenderness in his eyes.

-

The Empress Dowager was anxious, and the spies came to report that Prince Jing was already on his way to the capital, but he was walking a bit slowly, and it would take more than half a month to arrive in the capital.

After listening, the queen mother knocked over the teacup in front of her angrily, rubbed her brows, and signaled the spy to go down.

After a while, Ayun, the maid of honor who has been serving for many years, stepped forward and said, "Queen Mother, do you really want to listen to the mage's words and use Prince Jing's heart as a medicine primer to save the emperor?"

The queen mother raised her eyes to look at her, then lowered her eyes, and said angrily, "I am a son like Duo'er, he must not die, no matter whether this method works or not, the Ai family will give it a try."

Ayun pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and remained silent.

The queen mother said again, "Chu Heng has been loved since he was born, and he has everything he should have, and the former emperor also tried to give him what he shouldn't have. He should have been burned to death as early as the last fire. Now that he has been allowed to live for so long, he should be content."

Hearing this, Ayun nodded in agreement, and said, "What the queen mother said is true." After speaking, he ordered the servants in the palace to clean up the broken tea cups, and ordered some hot tea and some pastries to be prepared.

The queen mother leaned on the bed, sighed, and lowered her eyes, completely upset.

Why is her life so bad? She served as a servant girl in the early years, and later she was suspected by the late emperor. The only thing that made her feel at ease was the birth of Chu Duo, and because of this son, the late emperor gave birth to him; so many years , every step of the way, calculating repeatedly, every step is like walking on thin ice, no matter how careful you walk, she thought that her son would sit on the throne, and she would be able to sit back and relax, but unexpectedly, her son suddenly fell ill.

The queen mother sighed deeply again, she stayed up all night again, and when dawn came, she went to Chu Duo's bedroom to see him.

The imperial doctor was diagnosing and treating Chu Duo again. He looked, smelled, asked, and took his pulse carefully. The imperial doctor frowned tightly, and Chu Duo saw it clearly. After he finished taking the pulse, he asked, "Wei imperial doctor , how am I today?"

The imperial doctor was taken aback by his tone, blinked, and said respectfully, "Return to the emperor, I feel that the emperor is much better today than yesterday."

After listening, Chu Duo smiled and said, "It should be one step closer to death today than yesterday."

This made Wei Yuyi immediately kneel down and beg for mercy.

Chu Duo frowned and looked at him, "Is that why I scare you?"

"Returning to the emperor, actually... not." Wei Yuyi replied tremblingly.

Seeing his trembling appearance, Chu Duo waved his hands, "Go down." Then he ordered the servants in the palace to let everyone back down, leaving him alone for a while.

When the Queen Mother reached the door, she backed out again, turned around and went to Baohua Palace to copy scriptures, hoping that her emperor's son would recover as soon as possible.

After everyone retreated, the bedroom fell silent, Baicheng appeared, and said in a low voice, "Just now your mother walked to the door and retreated again."

Chu Duo looked at him and said, "I have never been merciful, but my mother is my only relative in this world, and the only person I care about. If I really..." He paused at this point, pursing his lips lightly, After hesitating for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Since you are a god, can you cure my disease?" There was a bit of pleading in his tone.
