so long

In Ning Jingyao's memory, Emperor Juxiu was a person who was unpredictable and sometimes even creepy.

Those superficial gentleness and favor that can only last for a while are nothing more than purposeful approach and charity. Such a cold and heartless emperor, Ning Jingyao had learned it when he was young.

In the past, Lord Ning raised a little milk cat in the palace. It was snow-white and fluffy. Its ears were not pointed up like other cats, but were folded down. The big eyes were also azure blue. It looks really cute, and the young Prince Ning couldn't put it down, and often took a nap with the cat in his arms.

At that time, Ning Jingyao was just a playful child, young and immature, who didn't know what to worry about, and didn't know that she was a "monster". Apart from the maids and guards who take care of him, Emperor Juxiu himself is beside him.

After finally being accompanied by a living creature, the smiles on Prince Ning's face increased, even when he was eating, he was sitting in Emperor Juxiu's arms, holding the kitten in his hands.

Emperor Juxiu didn't have any opinion on Prince Ning's raising that beast, he neither agreed nor objected, as if to let Prince Ning make his own decision to feed that little thing.

But the good times didn't last long. After the little kitten grew up day by day, its claws became sharper and its teeth became sharper. After a feeding, Ning Jingyao made a deep and long cut on the back of Ning Jingyao's hand, and Emperor Juxiu picked it up. Ning Jingyao embraced her and smiled.

Emperor Juxiu said: "Look, those are unfamiliar things. Will you keep them in the future?" As he said, he patted Ning Jingyao's back, while lifting the boy's chin, looking at the boy's full of pain. It was the tears that Shuiguang refused to shed no matter what.

At that time, Prince Ning was in awe of and dependent on Emperor Juxiu. Hearing what Emperor Juxiu said, he just raised his hand and didn't speak.

After all, Emperor Juxiu looked at the hideous wound, and the dark color in his eyes sank, he licked the bleeding wound with his tongue without hesitation, sucked, licked, and made Ning Jingyao even more painful Didn't stop either.

In the end, the young emperor had enough for himself, so he asked again with a smile: "Yaoyao, does it hurt?"

Prince Ning looked at the originally slender button, and the wound that had been cracked even more after being sucked by Emperor Juxiu, gasped in pain, and said, "It hurts..."

"So, will you keep those things in the future?"

Ning Jingyao turned her head to look at the 'culprit', and found that the cat was still looking at her with big innocent eyes. She was depressed for a while, shook her head and said, "No, from now on, only Uncle Huang will be left."

"Well, Yaoyao is good." The young emperor kissed Ning Jingyao's smooth forehead in satisfaction, then waved his hand, and a hidden guard suddenly appeared and took the cat away.

"Where are you going to take the cat? What will happen to it?" Prince Ning asked worriedly when he realized that the cat was gone.

The young emperor continued to hold Ning Jingyao's hand, and licked that hand away from the oozing blood, making the originally light-colored lips seem to be stained with rouge, and a smear of bright red was on it, saying: "You Do you want to see Yaoyao?"

Although it was just a question with a smile, the little prince felt chills behind him and subconsciously shook his head: "Yaoyao doesn't look at it, she doesn't want to look at it."

Of course, this is just a childhood memory. After Ning Jingyao left the palace at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she had long forgotten the promise she had made to Emperor Juxiu. The colorful tiger cubs were so fond of them that they were raised in the palace, and a tiger garden was specially built, and when Emperor Juxiu found out that Lord Ning had raised a cub, he didn't say anything against it just like many years ago , just smiled.

Emperors generally cannot leave the imperial capital casually, but now that Emperor Juxiu appears here, no one can say anything. The current relationship between Ning Jingyao and Emperor Juxiu is neither good nor bad, just ordinary , It's just the monarch and his ministers, and he no longer calls the monarch of a country "Uncle Huang" as intimately as he did when he was a child.

The emperor has never been annoyed, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just that the emperor who dotes on Prince Ning loses his previous interest after growing up.

Today's Prince Ning has long forgotten his dependence on the emperor in the past. All that remains is the awe that the courtiers should have for the emperor. Even the emperor resists some of his intimate actions, just like a man who knows the secret of his body. For a while, disappointment with the emperor and despair of himself made Prince Ning farther and farther away from the emperor.

Even if Emperor Juxiu sent many people by his side, it would only make Prince Ning feel that he has no freedom.

Emperor Juxiu touched the man's forearm, but he let go after a while, Prince Ning also took a step back, and respectfully answered the question that Emperor Cai asked him just now, saying: "Jing Yao is very surprised."

"Oh..." Emperor Juxiu looked at Prince Ning up and down, and then sat on the seat that Prince Ning had just sat on. The servants at the side immediately replaced him with new tea. Emperor Juxiu moistened his lips and said , "So... to be more specific, is it a shock or a surprise?"

Naturally, it cannot be said to be frightening.

Lord Ning stood alone in the center of the hall, and replied: "Surprise." The people who came in behind the emperor also stood quietly five steps away from Lord Ning, with their heads lowered. Duan Yiqun, the lord of Shen, is impressively among them.

"Then why don't you laugh?" Emperor Juxiu asked the aggressive question lightly, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, but looked at Ning Jingyao with more and more hidden deep meaning in his eyes.

Ning Jingyao paused and said, "I can't laugh."

"Oh, it must be for your friend with the surname Yi." The emperor put the teacup on the table and said, "Okay, sit down."

In a hall, there are two upper seats, which are usually seated by nobles or masters. Now that the emperor said this, it was obvious that Ning Jingyao was asked to sit next to the emperor. Prince Ning was stunned for a moment, but walked straight to the distance. A closer side of the emperor said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Ning Jingyao didn't do what he said, Emperor Juxiu didn't say anything, he just asked those who had stood aside for a long time to sit down, and said: "I came at the right time, and the matter is clear, Jing Yao has a very good relationship with that friend of yours, so you should avoid suspicion, so it's good to get to know it, don't you want to get to the bottom of it?"

"..." Ning Jingyao remained silent.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Juxiu raised his eyes to look at City Lord Duan who was sitting tremblingly beside him.City Lord Duan immediately stood up clearly and told the whole story.Originally, such matters were not dealt with by the city lord. Generally, when such matters are discovered, the people will consciously tie up those corrupt people and throw them into the river together, hoping that the river god can wash away the sins of those two people. Don't let that strange disease come to them.

But for some reason, it turned out to be the defendant this time. The older man pleaded guilty on his own initiative, saying that Bai Yao was drugged and he was obsessed with ghosts to lure Bai Yao to have sex with him.Everything was his fault and had nothing to do with that scholar Bai Yao.

The matter is clear, the evidence is solid, there is a poisoned wine glass, and the prisoner's own confession, Bai Yao is innocent, but Yi Jiuchen should sink.

Regardless of whether the medicine belonged to Yi Jiuchen or not, he deserved to die!This is everyone's psychology. No one wants to live in another place with such a person, for fear of being infected, and at some point he will also get the disease of liking men.

And even if Bai Yao was forced to do so, it would be ruined. The marriage agreement with Master Ji's daughter could not continue, and he would live with blind eyes afterward.

What's more, when some people said that when Yi Jiuchen was taken away, Bai Yao seemed to be drunk, saying that he did it voluntarily. He fell and broke his head.

Such a scandal happened in that place, and people would hate to say it, but it was the prince and the emperor who wanted him to give a clear explanation, so the city master Duan hurriedly found the relevant people and asked him a lot before he came here Finish like a story.

After Ning Jingyao listened, her face showed sullen expression, and before she could speak, Emperor Juxiu waved the city lord back to his original position, and said, "I can't be more clear about this matter, I will leave this matter to Yin Shen, and I will give it to you." Prince Yao's face, but does Prince Yao have any doubts?"

"Yes!" Ning Jingyao looked straight at the emperor who had always been indifferent this time and said, "Someone framed them!"

"So what?" The emperor looked back at Ning Jingyao slowly, not listening to the prince's disrespectful tone, and just said, "Could it be that Prince Jingyao wants to do favoritism?" After finishing speaking, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up , there is no meaning to blame.

Prince Ning didn't speak, but he acquiesced.

The emperor, who had always been cold and decisive in front of his courtiers and could not be questioned by anyone, said at this time: "Okay, if the people have no objection to the decision to let them go within a day, then it's up to you. How about it?"

It was clearly as if coaxing an awkward little lover to take the initiative to bow his head. He pretended to be generous, but he was bound to win... It's a pity that although the people present felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, they didn't dare to think too much, and they kept their eyes on their noses, noses, noses, and hearts. .Only Yin Qiu looked up at the emperor sitting high above him, wondering what to write, his amber eyes gradually deepened as if he couldn't see the end.

"Okay!" Prince Ning replied.
