fox repair

The small purple clay pot sitting on the charcoal stove was steaming, Mo Chen was watching with his paws on the side of the stove, so absorbed that he didn't even move Huayu when he walked to the side.

"The little guy is lying here, isn't he afraid of scalding his paws?" Hua Yu actually likes this little white fox very much. Since having it, His Highness Jiu's temperament is much more cheerful than before, and Mo Chen is indeed a beautiful fox, as long as it is not intentional When it's quiet and messy like this, it's usually very pleasant.

Mo Chen wagged his tail lightly, not bothering to pay attention to Hua Yu.The human coaxed away the medicinal herbs he found, saying that the grass would rot after a long time, and wanted to help him make pills. Although Mo Chen was not happy, he still handed over the medicinal herbs. He had to watch it for himself, for fear that a human would accidentally spoil his precious lump.

Ning Yuan often patted him on the head and said helplessly: "How many thousand-year-old spiritual fruits and spiritual grasses have you seen in space? Is a mere seven-soul grass worth hugging like this? What about your vision?"

Mo Chen bit Ning Yuan when he was nagging, and he didn't give up until Ning Yuan promised that all the pills he made would belong to him and he didn't want any of them.

Shen Fanghua's "disease" finally healed after half a year of intensive recuperation. On the day he returned to the court, people were surprised to find that the spirit of this nearly seventy-year-old Zhong Shuling seemed to be much better than before.He was no longer blind and deaf, and he even took the initiative to hand over the papers to the emperor as soon as he came back, asking for the titles of the princes on the grounds that the Queen Mother was about to have her birthday.

The old fox returned to the mountain, and he did such a good job as soon as he came, the courtiers had different opinions, and they all speculated about his intentions in their hearts.Obviously, Shen Fanghua's move was very popular with the emperor, and the emperor immediately gave his permission. The eleven sons under his knees, except for the eleventh prince who was still in his infancy and the tenth prince who was only three years old, were all sealed, especially the fifth prince and The seventh prince's favor was the most important, and he was named prince, while the rest of the princes were named county kings.

What is more noticeable is that besides the two princes who were rewarded with mansions outside the palace, the Ninth Prince was also allowed to open a mansion outside the palace, but the location and size of the mansion were naturally much worse than those of the two princes.So Ning Yuan finally had his own place, Sanjin's courtyard was not luxuriously decorated, he just took a brief rest and brought Mo Chen to live in.

Ning Yuan has no cultivation base now, but as a monk in the spiritual realm, some strange ways of armoring are still not a problem.He was well aware of his situation, and he didn't have anyone he could fully trust, so to ensure safety, he set up some simple formations in the mansion.

Mo Chen is naturally very happy to live in a new place, he can be unscrupulous in the human territory, no more restrained than the palace and the Shen family.On the first day he moved into the Prince's Mansion, he caught fish in the small lake in the courtyard, jumped up and down on the rockery, got into the flowerbed to catch butterflies, played after the skirts of the maids, and went to the kitchen to steal. Snacks, Sa Huan'er tossed about all day, and jumped into Ning Yuan's bed full of energy at night.

Ning Yuan now has to go to court during the day, complete the homework assigned by Shen Fanghua for him, and occasionally be asked by the emperor to question him. He has little time to stay in the mansion, and he is also a little mentally ill, so when he is half leaning on the bed, his expression is already languid Lazy, seeing the fox jumping up, just lightly rubbed his head twice, not teasing him like before.

Mo Chen bit Ning Yuan's sleeve with his mouth, wanting him to play with him, but at this moment, his ears moved suddenly, as if he sensed something strange, he froze his body and turned his head to look outside the door.

In the silent night, a crisp bell rang out.

Mo Chen jumped out of bed and went straight to the door, Ning Yuan also frowned slightly, when he put on his clothes and went out to the courtyard, he saw that the small silver clock hanging under the eaves had returned to silence.

Someone touched the array he had set up in the courtyard.

Ning Yuan's expression became a little dignified.

From the outskirts of the Prince's Mansion to the main courtyard where he lives, the level of the formations he arranged has increased step by step. Because there is no spiritual power to forge, the power of the formations is very low, but it is more than enough to deal with mortal masters, and the formations of the main courtyard where he lives, It can also play a preventive and vigilant role for immortal cultivators below the foundation building stage.

Now there is no movement outside at all, just the silver bell in his courtyard was touched, which means that the person who came this time is a cultivator.

When a maid heard the ringtone, she thought it was blown by the wind, and when she saw Ning Yuan coming out, she immediately stepped forward to ask for her orders.Ning Yuan pushed everyone away, stood in the courtyard and pondered for a moment, then carried Mo Chen back to the room.

However, Mo Chen was very disobedient this time, fighting back and forth in Ning Yuan's arms.

With a thought in his mind, Ning Yuan stroked Mo Chen's hair comfortingly, and asked, "Ah Chen sensed someone? Is it the person who touched the formation just now?"

Mo Chen finally stopped struggling, raised his head to look at Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan asked again: "Do you know this person?"

Of course Mo Chen didn't know him, but the faint scent left in the air disgusted him, because it was very similar to the man who chased him on Pinglai Mountain that day.Although he didn't know why the man wanted to chase him, but because he was chased by the Orion a lot in the snow mountain, he naturally classified the man and the Orion together, and they were all human beings he hated.

"Have you ever met this man? Has he chased you?"

Mo Chen licked his tongue, sighing at the intelligence of human beings, he can always guess his own thoughts.

Seeing Mo Chen acquiescing, Ning Yuan's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Where is it? When is it?"

Mo Chen rolled his eyes, jumped out of Ning Yuan's arms, ran to the nearby grass to find a straw in his mouth, and ran back again, circling around Ning Yuan with the straw in his mouth.

Ning Yuan understood this time, what Mo Chen meant was that someone chased him the day he picked the Seven Soul Grass, and this person was the one who just touched the formation.Since it can be discovered by the formation, it means that this person's cultivation is only at the stage of refining Qi, but for mortals, even this kind of monk who is at the bottom of the world of cultivating immortals is often regarded as a god of Daluo. Do not provoke.

If it was just a monk in the Qi refining period, he must have chased Mo Chen only for the Seven Soul Grass, which made Ning Yuan feel a little more at ease.A monk walks around in the mortal world, and he is quite afraid of secular imperial power. As a prince himself, that person will never stalk him for a piece of Seven Soul Grass. Come.

Sure enough, as Ning Yuan expected, after this night, the Qi Refining Cultivator did not appear again, and it was very peaceful for two consecutive months.

The case of using the land for the Taimiao privately owned by Mr. An's son finally came to an end. Shen Tianfang, as the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is really facing a huge test.Just because An Guogong belongs to the fifth prince, and his son committed a crime of treason against the authority of the Tian family, it is not bad if he is not implicated, and death is inevitable, but An Guogong has always loved his son, so he asked five The prince, who is now King Yong, wants him to help intercede.

King Yong put pressure on Shen Tianfang frequently, using both soft and hard tactics, but in the end Shen Tianfang bit the bullet and turned the case into an iron case. The son of Duke An was executed according to the law. All the evidence was clear. The emperor was very angry after reading the file. He also demoted An Guogong to a marquis, and his descendants who were officials in the court were also demoted or dismissed one after another.

When An Guogong fell, King Yong's wings were injured a lot, and Concubine Lan Gui's line completely became enemies with the Shen family.And after that, there was a round of thorough investigation of the land in the private circle of nobles and bureaucrats. To everyone's surprise, the emperor actually handed over this matter to Ninth Prince Ning Yuan.

The courtiers somewhat understood the emperor's intentions, the nobles' private enclaves of land had already become commonplace, who among the countless families in the capital could guarantee that they hadn't devoured a few acres of fertile land?Now that the two parties in the government and the opposition are divided, whoever is sent to investigate this case will inevitably use power for personal gain to suppress the opponent. On the contrary, the only way to ensure fairness is to let the newcomer Ninth Prince, who has a weak foundation in the court, take responsibility.However, in contrast, there is no one in the court to help, and this offending job is not so easy to do. I am afraid that the Ninth Prince will have a hard time in the future, and I don't know what the emperor is pushing such a thankless job to him. .

Inside the Nine Palaces, Mo Chen was lying on the roof of a palace. Ning Yuan went to the court. He was bored and sometimes ran around the capital. Today he returned to the palace with high walls. He planned to steal two A piece of snacks to eat, unexpectedly passed a garden, was attracted by the garden full of pomegranate flowers.

It is the season when the grass grows and the warblers fly. The spring should be bright and blue, but this year, Liangguo has been flooded with heavy rain. Seven or eight out of ten days are covered with cloudy clouds. Everywhere is gray. , it is rare to see such bright colors.

Mo Chen thought that he had seen maids around humans pick fresh flower petals to make desserts, pear cheese, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, peach blossom cakes, and even the green dumplings made with wheatgrass juice were all very delicious, so he thought, With so many pomegranate flowers planted, some people may use the petals to make desserts, so they sniffed their noses and went to the kitchen smelling the smell.

Having just found the place, Mo Chen walked lightly and silently on the beam, watching the cooks below who were busy, looking for an opportunity to go down and look around, when he saw a well-dressed little maid running in from outside.

"His Royal Highness King Yong came into the palace today to see the empress, and the empress asked if there is any almond milk?"

"Yes, yes, I know His Highness will be here early in the morning to prepare it." The cook wiped her hands and hurriedly handed over a food box, and said courteously: "Today's lunch is also His Highness's favorite dishes, so please rest assured .”

King Yong?

Mo Chen regained his energy. Recently, he often heard Ning Yuan and the bearded old man mention this name. He hesitated for a while, and finally chose the latter between delicious food and curiosity, so he wagged his tail. Without knowing it, he jumped down from the beam, and his claws and eyes quickly grabbed two pieces of pastries and put them in his mouth, then jumped out to catch up with the little maid.
