A kitten dressed as an empress

Holding the teacup, Wen Ruyan changed the topic and said, "It seems that Concubine Jin will leave the palace with that uncle in three days."

"How could it be so easy for them to come and go freely in the imperial palace?" Zhao Yao raised her hand and gently opened the book in front of her, thinking about the identity of the middle-aged man in her heart.

It is very rare for outsiders to stay in the palace. Even if ordinary people can enter the palace, it is impossible for them to become familiar with the complicated palace roads in a short period of time.

Unless this person has spent a lot of time in the palace and seems to have an unclear relationship with Concubine Jin.

"Fake death pills, maybe they're planning to get away with it." Wen Ruyan took a sip of tea, and had already started to imagine a thousand sadistic romance novels between them.

"Why have I never heard of this kind of medicine?" Zhao Yao stopped slightly and looked at the girl suspiciously.

Wen Ruyan hurriedly responded: "What I said is true, that uncle said so to Concubine Jin himself."

Zhao Yao didn't make a sound, got up and went to the bookcase, and put the books in her hands back to the original place, thinking that the Jin family is now imprisoned, and those who are exiled are also exiled, and they have long since disappeared.

Since that man dared to risk his life to enter the palace, it must have been carefully planned.

If the dignified concubine escaped from the palace, it would be a scandal to the southern royal family, and the Supreme Emperor would never allow this to happen.

"Hey, what did I mean?" The girl approached wrapped in a thin blanket, muttering plaintively, "It took me a long time to find out the news. If you don't believe me, I won't go next time."

Zhao Yao turned her head to look at the nagging girl, raised her eyebrows lightly and said, "Who do you want to show yourself naked like this?"

Because there was a head difference in height between the two, the girl's unwrapped collar showed a lot of fair skin.

Wen Ruyan snorted softly, then wrapped the thin blanket tightly and said, "If you want to see it, I won't even let you see it!"

"Try saying what you just said again?" Zhao Yao put her arms around the girl, and gently plucked the girl's loose long hair with her fingertips.

"What did I, what did I say?" Wen Ruyan changed his words resignedly.

Zhao Yao watched with raised lips, pinched the girl's earlobe with her fingertips and said, "If you say I want to see it, I won't let it."

This man is so vengeful!

Wen Ruyan smiled embarrassingly, and blinked her bright eyes in response: "We are both women, and there is nothing to look at, so you shouldn't be interested, right?"

The strength of the fingertips was slightly heavier, and the girl hurriedly turned her head to approach in fear of pain, Zhao Yao said softly: "That's not necessarily the case."

Cats are too wild, sometimes they need to be taught, otherwise they will be disobedient.

The girl suddenly lost her previous arrogance, her eyes were full of unbelievable scrutiny and she said softly, "You...you can't!"

Zhao Yao looked at the girl's eyes full of inquiry and curiosity, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

"If you're really interested in me, we can't be so provocative, right?" Wen Ruyan couldn't tell whether Zhao Yao was joking or trying to scare people, and was very flustered.

After all, Zhao Yao usually likes to do such wicked things.

"I'm not interested in you." Zhao Yao hurriedly let go of her earlobe, and took a few steps back with a very serious expression.

Wen Ruyan didn't understand this inexplicable reaction yet, she just thought that Zhao Yao was scaring people again just now, she thought she had won a round, her eyes glowed with pride, and she said with a grin, "Don't be so indifferent, I'm tall Although it’s not as good-looking as yours, it’s barely passable.”

Zhao Yao put her hand against the forehead of the girl who was approaching, her eyes were full of confusion and said: "Your head is not normal, it's better to stay away from me."

You are out of your mind!

That night Wen Ruyan was alone on the low couch, looking at Zhao Yao who was sitting on the couch full of sorrow, thinking silently, cheapskate!

Before the news of Concubine Jin's escape, it was reported the next day that Concubine Jin died of illness at night.

Except for the emperor, funerals were not allowed in the palace, but the Supreme Emperor specially gave permission, and the palace people wore plain clothes and white belts to express their condolences.

In the morning, Zhao Yao entered Jin Taifei's palace alone, and the palace people knelt in the palace and sobbed softly.

According to the palace regulations, when concubines are buried in the imperial tomb, the palace people need to be buried with them. Maybe this is the real reason why they cry.

The Supreme Emperor independent inner hall, Zhao Yao saw that thin but too tall figure from a distance.

Hearing that the Empress Dowager was by her side when Concubine Jin died, I guess it wasn't too complicated.

Zhao Yao looked at the thousand-day safflower blooming outside the pavilion, it was because of this flower that Concubine Jin had a complete enmity with her mother, so much so that she became murderous later.

It's a pity that Concubine Jin didn't know that Qianrihong was not as good as its name, and it was not suitable for survival in the cold spring of the southern country.

Just like the concubine Jin, who obviously has a domineering and indulgent temperament, but always thought that the Supreme Emperor loved and loved her because of her gentle and charming mother, so she has been pretending to be gentle and elegant for so many years.

At the beginning, the Supreme Emperor recruited so many concubines into the palace, but now there are only a few left. It is conceivable that Jin Taifei's nature has not changed, but she can only cover up her methods.

"Auntie, don't be sad." Zhao Yao withdrew her mind and stepped forward slowly.

The Supreme Emperor looked sideways, holding a thousand-day safflower in his hand, his brows and eyes were extremely calm, and no pain could be seen at all.

This is the ruthlessness of the emperor, and it was the same when his mother passed away. Zhao Yao always felt that the reason why the Supreme Emperor couldn't forget his mother was just because he became angry from embarrassment.

The mother's disguise has deceived everyone. As an emperor, he cannot tolerate it, even his mother will never allow it.

"The flowers in this courtyard are so gorgeous." The Supreme Emperor put the thousand-leaf red flower in his hand in front of the coffin, then picked up the handkerchief to wipe his hands, and casually discarded it aside.

A gust of wind came slowly, blowing the thousand-leaf red flower in front of the spiritual tablet to the ground.

Maybe Jin Taifei didn't know it when she died, the Supreme Emperor hated Qianye Honghua extremely.

Everything is just love in disguise for the sake of power.

In mid-August, the king will suppress the turmoil in the southern kingdom and return to the capital on Tuesday. He will be named a mighty general, given a set of holy grace armor, rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, and thousands of hectares of fertile land.

After the morning court, all the officials withdrew from the main hall, and General Wang went straight to Grand Master Song and said happily, "It's really a blessing that the Grand Master has worked so hard to assist the court in the past few months."

"Of course, the old minister is comparable to General Wang's contribution."

General Wang proudly led a group of sycophants out of the palace.

"The villain gets his ambition!" Qi An, who was in charge of the Ministry of Punishments, spurned behind his back, "I shouldn't have conspired with such old men in the first place."

Grand Master Song stroked his beard with an extremely calm expression, and said with a cold snort, "They are laughing too early now. Didn't the Jin family also flaunt their power back then, so what will happen now?"

Qi An hurriedly echoed: "What the grand master said is that they will suffer a lot in the future, but now the Supreme Emperor is obviously guarding against the Song and Qi families, and it will be even more difficult in the future."

"What happened in the court hall is now and then, and today's predicament will never be known in the future." Song Taishi glanced sideways at the hall, and frowned, "Order, now be safe, if you go out A mistake is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans."

"Yes."

It was also the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the trip to the palace for the summer vacation was postponed due to turmoil. The Taishang Emperor was unable to travel far due to his health.

So he proposed to change to the largest lake garden in Chengdu, and the four gentlemen would accompany them. Zhao Yao accidentally mentioned this matter with the memorial in hand.

The little milk cat, who was lying lazily on the table, regained energy in an instant, and stared straight at it with amber eyes.

"Do you want to go?" Zhao Yao lightly rubbed her fluffy head with her palm.

"Meow!" It was still surprisingly hot in August, and Wen Ruyan kept talking about why he hadn't gone to the summer palace yet.

"This time I won't go to the summer palace, but just take a boat tour in the garden lake." Zhao Yao pinched her chubby face with her fingertips.

The little milk cat was very cooperative, lying on its head with its head up, its tail wagging non-stop, clearly acting like a spoiled child.

Zhao Yao looked at it with raised lips, lightly rubbed her soft buttocks with her palm, and rolled her eyes cunningly, saying, "Are you flattering me?"

The pink and tender paws that were still hugging his palm before suddenly let go, and his fluffy head was buried on the book, finally regaining his human spirit.

Wen Ruyan looked at the densely packed words on the book in embarrassment, her heart was broken.

Sure enough, being a cat for too long can easily lose your morale!

"If you want to go, it's okay if I take you there, but..."

"Meow?" The little milk cat poked its head to look around, and Zhao Yao lightly pressed the little head with her fingertips, "You should trim your nails."

In recent days, there are many claw marks on many skirts. Zhao Yao held the back of the little milk cat's neck with one hand, and held the soft paws with the other.

The pink and tender little paws are usually curled up, and when they are unfolded like this, the claws that have grown a lot can be seen.

When the crisp sound of "clicking" sounded, the little milk cat buried its head in its arms and dared not open its eyes to look.

Zhao Yao fiddled with her soft paws with her fingertips, holding the small scissors in one hand and looking at her trembling little head in a very funny way.

"You are human, why are you still so scared?" Zhao Yao joked.

The little milk cat still refused to open its eyes and responded softly: "Meow..."

Can we say that it was because I was afraid that you would accidentally cut off your own hand?

This is clearly suffering beyond words.

On the day of the lake tour, Wen Ruyan persuaded Hongxiang Wan to change into the palace clothes with great energy, and followed Zhao Yao very obediently.

At first, I thought it was just a lake tour, but I didn't expect there to be such a vast lake in the capital city. After Wen Ruyan boarded the boat, she still didn't recover.

"The wind is quite cool." Wen Ruyan held a small bowl of sour plum soup in his hand and ate it on his own.

The Supreme Emperor was resting in the cabin due to his physical discomfort, while Zhao Yao and the four gentlemen were not far away on the deck, the palace officials bowed their heads and remained silent, but the music did not stop.

Among the four princes, the prince who was originally the least famous suddenly became the most likely candidate to become the queen because of the prosperity of his family.

Because she is younger than the others, she looks timid, but she is still quite cute.

It's a pity that Zhao Yao's icy face can freeze to death in summer, his face has the same expression all the year round, and his words are even more pitiful.

After the sour plum soup finished, Wen Ruyan couldn't hear a few words between them.

Nanny Li didn't accompany her because of seasickness, so Chunyue had her eyes on the sudden appearance of Cuihua early in the morning, and approached cautiously.

As soon as Wen Ruyan turned around, he saw Chunyue, and he was startled and couldn't help shouting, "Hey!"

Why does Chunyue walk without sound?

"Miss Cuihua, are you okay?" Chunyue hurriedly asked.

"It's okay." Wen Ruyan was a little wary of Chunyue because of the two little orange cats, "I've finished my sour plum soup, and I'm planning to get some more."

Chunyue reached out to get a bowl and said courteously, "Why don't I help Miss Cuihua fill a bowl?"

If this was in the 21st century, Wen Ruyan would have responded casually, but there is nothing to show hospitality in the palace, it is really hard for people not to think about it.

Wen Ruyan covered the bowl with both hands and hurriedly said, "No, I can do it myself."

Chunyue withdrew her hand in embarrassment, looking at the extremely defensive Cuihua with a calm expression.

Zhao Yao on the other side looked at the cowardly Wang Jun on one side, her thin lips were slightly pressed together, but she heard the other side's conversation carefully.

Looking sideways at Na Dang, I saw that the girl was chatting happily with the palace people, with a strong smile on her brows and eyes.

"I'm a little dizzy outside, I'm a little tired."

"The humble minister waits for His Majesty to rest?" Wang Jun lowered his head in fear and did not dare to look at the empress beside him.

He was originally the weak-tempered concubine in the family, and he was the youngest, so he dared not disobey the holy order.

Even the night of attending the bedtime passed away in a daze, and the Wang family sent someone to ask for details, but naturally they couldn't tell the reason.

Zhao Yao entered the boat, and the girl finally knew how to keep up.

"Oh, I was scared to death just now." Wen Ruyan was sitting beside him pouring tea, and was about to drink tea while talking.

But the tea near her mouth was taken away, Zhao Yao held the teacup in her fingertips, stared at the girl in her eyes and said angrily: "Screaming, what a shame!"

The girl's eyes were full of bewilderment, and she poured another cup of tea on her own, and then suddenly asked extremely curiously: "Which gentleman is this making you angry?"

"You don't know?" Zhao Yao raised her eyebrows, pinched the protruding earlobe with her fingertips, and pursed her thin lips a little bit.

"Oh, take it easy, you." The girl frowned in pain, and reached out to hold Zhao Yao's hand, "I was followed by someone just now, so I didn't pay attention to your side for a while."

Zhao Yao then stopped her hands and asked seriously: "Who is following you?"

Wen Ruyan looked at the moody Zhao Yao, stretched out his hand to rub his earlobe, and subconsciously moved away a little: "Chunyue from the Second Palace always looks at me inexplicably."

"Then you still laugh so happily with her?" Zhao Yao noticed something was wrong and asked back.

"I'm not happy, it's obviously a smirk, okay?" The girl covered her ears and said very defensively, "Let's say it first, a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands!"

Zhao Yao held the teacup and replied, "Show me your smirk."

Hey?

Wen Ruyan reluctantly stretched out his hand to grab his cheek, grinned extremely stiffly and asked, "Does it look good?"

"It's ugly." Zhao Yao pursed her raised lips and slowly looked away.

"I see you are envious and jealous of me!"

After the girl finished speaking, she got up and walked to the window, stretched out her hand to open the window, and the wind from the lake blew in, making the room much cooler immediately.

Zhao Yao turned her head and said, "What are you doing with the window open?"

Wen Ruyan leaned against the shaky window and said, "Of course it's cool."

"The water in this lake is very deep. If you fall, I will not save you." Zhao Yao sat on the low couch and did not intend to approach the window.

"Don't worry, I can swim." The girl said confidently.

Zhao Yao picked up the book casually, remembering what the girl said about stalking earlier.

It seems that the Supreme Emperor knew of Wen Ruyan's existence, so he made people approach her on purpose.

The pages of the book were blown by the strong wind and the pages were turned very fast. Wen Ruyan looked at Zhao Yao who was staring at the book in a daze and said, "So you can be distracted too."

"Close the window." Zhao Yao said without frowning.

The girl clutched the window and said regretfully, "Don't, it's very stuffy with the windows closed."

Zhao Yao stood up unhappily and walked to the girl's side, but she didn't expect that the boat suddenly became unstable and she fell straight forward.

There were waves in the lake outside the window, it was so dark that it was bottomless, and the coldness emanating from his bones made Zhao Yao unable to move, and immediately became very dizzy.

Seeing that something was wrong, Wen Ruyan quickly reached out to support Zhao Yao and said, "What happened to you just now?"

Zhao Yao tightly grasped Wen Ruyan's hand, her complexion paled a lot, she stared straight at the lake and said, "Close the window!"

"It's just closing the window, why are you so fierce?" Wen Ruyan closed the window, but the tight grip on her never let go.

It looks a bit like being afraid of water.

But no matter how big the boat is, there will always be times when it encounters wind and waves and becomes unstable on the water. Wen Ruyan stretched out his arms to protect Zhao Yao and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, this window is very strong, you won't fall."

Zhao Yao pursed her thin lips and said coldly, "I know."

Then if you don't let go of your strength, my arm will be pinched green!

Wen Ruyan helplessly helped Zhao Yao to sit back on the bed, but the hand that was holding her still refused to let go.

"Do you have a shadow on the water?" The hand that was held was extremely cold, and Wen Ruyan kindly made a sound to divert attention.

Zhao Yao looked at the girl with extremely cold eyes, but her thin lips were tightly closed.

When the night was getting dark, Wen Ruyan's whole body was not feeling well, the strength of her grip was like an iron chain, but Zhao Yao's complexion didn't look well, and she didn't let the imperial doctor come and see her.

It's no wonder that the ancients didn't live long enough to avoid medical treatment, and Hua Tuo couldn't be saved while he was still alive.

Wen Ruyan, whose stomach was rumbling, turned his head to look at Zhao Yao, who was still pale. Although he complained a little, he looked worried.

Afraid of water, why didn't you tell me earlier?

If I had known earlier, I would not have murmured about coming.

What a waste of red incense pills!

While half awake and half asleep, a shout came from outside: "There are assassins!"

Wen Ruyan woke up in a daze, only to find that the cabin, which was more dangerous than the assassin, was broken!

The lake water poured in suddenly, and the current was extremely fast. If he didn't run away, he would have to drown in this cabin.

"Wake up!" Wen Ruyan stretched out his hand and squeezed the fleshless cheek, "Don't sleep!"

Zhao Yao was displeased and opened her eyes and was about to speak out when she suddenly saw the lake water coming in, almost unable to breathe, her limbs were so stiff.

The girl stretched out her hand to hold Zhao Yao's hand, trying to get up and walk out the door, but Zhao Yao didn't dare to move.

"Don't be afraid, the water has just come in, we still have time to go out." Wen Ruyan held Zhao Yao with great effort, and walked out the door.

The cabin was broken in several places, Wen Ruyan and Zhao Yao planned to jump off the boat first, but Zhao Yao shook her head and said, "No way."

Seeing this, Wen Ruyan could only tear off one side of the headband to bind the two's arms tightly, then stretched out his hand to push Zhao Yao down, and jumped down by himself.

The whole ship quickly overturned and sank, the wind was strong outside, and the bean-heavy rain fell.

Although Wen Ruyan could swim, the person beside her was choking her neck tightly, it was really terrible.

Wen Ruyan, who was on the verge of suffocation, had no choice but to untie the belts of the two of them. Zhao Yao closed her eyes and murmured: "Mother, don't, don't leave me!"

"What?" The sound of the rain was too loud for Wen Ruyan to hear clearly, so he broke free with difficulty and walked around behind Zhao Yao, so as to avoid the danger of being caught and drowned.

The food that he managed to eat during the day has already been exhausted, and there is water all around, Wen Ruyan is also exhausted.

Fortunately, a wave sent the two of them ashore, and Wen Ruyan struggled to get up, only to see that the man with tightly closed lips seemed to be out of breath.

"Hey, you're not going to die!" Wen Ruyan looked around, there was extremely long dry grass beside the bank, and there was no one to be seen.

Wen Ruyan couldn't find anyone else, so he had to fumble to untie the entangled belt, then put his hands together in front of his body, using all his strength.

But after several times, no one woke up. Wen Ruyan, who had never saved anyone before, became even more flustered. She patted Zhao Yao's cheek with both hands, took a deep breath, and pressed her lips tightly together.

After repeating this several times, Wen Ruyan put his hands in front of his body, muttering, "Although you have a fierce and smelly personality, you are still a long-term meal ticket."

Wen Ruyan took a deep breath, then buried her head and leaned forward. Zhao Yao, who was unconscious before, opened her eyes slowly, choked a few times in her throat, blocked her approaching mouth with her palm and said, "You, kiss me enough." Yet?"

The girl froze in a daze, stretched out her hand to hold Zhao Yao's hand, her eyes turned red suddenly, she embraced Zhao Yao with joy and said, "Fortunately, you are still alive, I was almost scared to death!"

Zhao Yao listened to the girl's broken words unable to move, slowly raised her arm and lightly stopped beside the girl, and said with a slight frown, "Didn't you just say that my character is fierce and smelly?"

Wen Ruyan distanced herself in embarrassment, blinked her eyes and said, "No, you must have heard wrong."

"Really?" Zhao Yao stretched out her hand to gently lift the thin hair that fell from the girl's cheek, and stared at the girl.

The girl frowned and smiled, and said very seriously: "Of course it's true. It's truer than real gold. I actually like you quite a bit."

If you are not so fierce usually.

Xu Shi was approaching dawn, the distant sky was faintly white, and the gorgeous morning glow fell on the girl's side. Zhao Yao's cheeks were slightly hot, and she pursed her lips with dodge eyes and said in a low voice: "You are lying."

Wen Ruyan smiled awkwardly, and suddenly regretted saving her.

"You don't mean to avenge your kindness!"

Zhao Yao got up slightly, looked at the lakeside by the water, and said with lingering fear: "It's not safe here."

The girl stretched out her hand to support Zhao Yao and muttered: "I almost died to save you this time."

"You saved me today, and you will be rewarded." Zhao Yao turned her head to look at the girl. There were bruises on the neck at the collar, which was obviously pinched by someone. She said with her thin lips tightly, "You How did you get hurt here?"

Wen Ruyan stretched out his hand and pulled off his collar and came closer, "I almost forgot that you strangled these things, and you almost strangled them to death just now."

Zhao Yao frowned slightly, stretched out her hand to grab the open collar and said coldly: "How can you open the collar at will when you're still outside?"

The behavior of girls sometimes is really unpredictable.

"I let you see it, but I didn't let others see it."

"That's not allowed either."

Zhao Yao looked away, her earlobe felt slightly hot.

Why are you so fierce all of a sudden? Who messed with her?
