I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

Luo Bai poured out all the mulberries in the jar, carefully fiddled with them into a pile with his claws, and hung the empty jar back around his neck.

He was not willing to leave like this, and looked back at the big bed, seeing that Chu Yuzhao was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, he slid down the desk, walked over on tiptoe, straightened up, leaned on the edge of the bed with his front paws and looked inside.

Half of Chu Yuzhao's face was sunk in the shadows, but the tall nose bridge and sharp facial lines were outlined by the candlelight.After looking at it for a while, Luo Bai went to look at his wrist, it had been scuffed by the iron chain during the day, and he didn't know what happened.

Chu Yuzhao's arm was just outside the quilt, and his wrist was just exposed. Fortunately, although he was injured, the wound had scabbed over, and there were no shocking bloodstains.

Luo Bai was relieved and prepared to leave, but before he left—Xiaobao's round eyeballs turned to Chu Yuzhao's face again—he had to make a fuss before leaving!

He licked his paw excitedly, and moved two steps forward while supporting the edge of the bed.When he moved to the pillow, he stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck. His round, furry head slowly approached Chu Yuzhao's face.

But at this moment, Chu Yuzhao suddenly opened his eyes without warning, and met his gaze who was close at hand.

Those eyes were calm and unwavering, dark and deep, just looking at him so lightly.

At this moment, Luo Bai's entire leopard froze, his ears were flattened against his head, and the fur on his body exploded.

Broken, caught by me.

Since he was a child, he has been told by his mother that he must not be seen by others, so after he becomes a leopard, he will always avoid people.I even knew in my heart that since my mother didn't want him to be seen so much, then his leopard shape must be ugly, not liked by others, and even frightening.

But now he is not only seen by someone, but that person is still a beautiful brother...

Chu Yuzhao was still lying quietly, looking at the little leopard with squinted eyes, watching its big round face slowly receding in front of it, his eyes full of horror, holding the two little paws on the bed rail, They were all trembling slightly.

Then, the little leopard ran back quickly, slipped on its feet because of its speed, and fell to the ground and rolled twice, knocking over a stool.

It turned up quickly and continued to run. It jumped onto the desk with a thorn, knocked over the pen holder, and the brush fell to the ground with a clatter.Then he slammed open the window that had been closed by the wind, and shot it out like an arrow.

The window hit the wall after being knocked open, and was rebounded to close again. The brush rolled for a while and then stopped, and the hall returned to silence.

Just as Chu Yuzhao was about to sit up, he saw the window move, and it was slowly opened a crack, and at the same time, two strange meows came from under the window: "Meow... Meow..."

boom!

The windows were closed again.

Luo Bai trotted on the beam in a panic, almost stepping on the air and falling down several times.Finally, he arrived outside the hall smoothly, and rested on the beam he was most familiar with.

Fortunately, I can learn how to meow, otherwise I would have recognized it as a leopard.

Luo Bai recalled the scene just now with a little fear, and was impressed by his own wit.

"...You stand still, and when you are on the errand, you are on the errand, don't look around."

"Brother, let's change positions. I'm standing under this beam, and my vest is chilly."

"What are you afraid of? Didn't I just climb the ladder to check? There's nothing on it."

"...It's just that I don't feel at ease."

There were small conversations under the beam, it was two young eunuchs guarding the entrance of the main hall.Luo Bai listened absent-mindedly, and prepared to leave after his heartbeat subsided.

It's getting late now, if he still doesn't return to the palace, Aunt Yuan Fu will be anxious and look for him everywhere with a lantern.

Luo Bai supported the little jade crown on top of his head, and was getting up to leave, when he glanced at the wooden sign in front of the beam from the corner of his eye.

By the way, I haven't got rid of the wooden sign yet, so hurry up and get it down.

Xiao Bao, who pays great attention to the sense of ritual, dialed the evil card again before leaving, and only after hearing the soft sound of falling to the ground and the groan of the little eunuch as if he was about to cry, he brought his general With a sense of completeness that everything is done, I return to Yuqing Palace with satisfaction.

As soon as Chu Yuzhao watched Xiaobao close the window and leave, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Eunuch Cheng hurried in with two guards.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you all right?"

Chu Yuzhao sat on the bed and replied, "I'm fine."

Eunuch Cheng looked at his expression and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he was fine: "Your Majesty, this old slave heard some movement in the house just now—" He glanced over the desk by the side of the house, and when he saw the mess on it, he was stunned. "Your Majesty, this is..."

"It's okay, I went to close the window just now, but I knocked off the pen container." Chu Yuzhao said calmly: "I'm fine, you all go down, and I'll clean it up tomorrow."

"Yes."

After Eunuch Cheng and the guards retreated, Chu Yuzhao got out of bed, casually put on a coat, and walked to the desk.

The little leopard just now poured something out of the clay pot, so he had to go and see.

A stack of rice paper on the desk was kicked to pieces, and the edges were stained with purple marks.After he uncovered a few sheets on the face, he revealed the small handful of mulberries below.

Because of being squeezed, several delicate mulberries have been crushed, and the juice dyed the table red and black.

He lowered his eyes for a moment, picked a good one, held it in front of his eyes to look around, and then slowly fed it into his mouth, the sweet juice immediately burst into his mouth.

Chu Yuzhao chewed the mulberries lightly, the depression in his heart faded with the sweet fragrance, and his brows and eyes relaxed a lot.

The next day, Luo Bai was dragged by Yuan Fu to maybe go out, and he didn't slip away to Qiande Palace until Yuan Fu fell asleep at night.

He turned into a little leopard again, and as soon as he climbed up from the pillars outside the hall to the beams of the cornices, he saw a lantern appearing on the road behind him, and there were a few vague figures.

This road led to the outside of the palace, and there were almost no one at night, so his curiosity started to wreak havoc again, so he leaned on the beam and looked down.

The lantern was gradually approaching, and there were three eunuchs who looked at him strangely. They didn't speak, but hurried forward.Two of them carried a door panel covered with a white cloth, and the other walked beside him with a lantern, looking around vigilantly.

When the three of them passed under Luo Bai, suddenly a gust of wind blew by, lifting up half of the white cloth covering the door panel, revealing a pale face with bruises, empty eyes and Luo Bai leaning over the beam. match.

It turned out to be a dead man.

Although Luo Bai was not afraid of death, he was suddenly taken aback and almost jumped off the beam.

"Stop, stop." The eunuch carrying the lantern said repeatedly.

The person carrying the wooden board stood still, and the eunuch on one side used a lantern pole to lift the white cloth to cover it back, saying: "Be careful when you leave the palace, don't let the cloth be uncovered again."

"Yes, father-in-law."

The eunuch covered the corpse again with a white cloth, looked up at the little eunuch who was holding the door panel, and saw that their faces were full of fear and dismay, so he sneered and said, "Don't say I didn't remind you, if you don't Take good care of your master, don't let yourself be the one carrying the door."

A young eunuch shivered and said tremblingly: "But Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan only gave Her Majesty a decoction, how could he be beaten to death by His Majesty on the spot—"

"Shut up!" The eunuch yelled, looked around and lowered his voice, "How dare you say such outrageous things?"

The little eunuch came back to his senses, and his face turned pale with fright, and he said repeatedly: "It's the little one who is ignorant, don't blame the father-in-law, the little one won't dare to speak anymore..."

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that, and I won't bring it up again in the future, and I'm not allowed to say anything about tonight." The eunuch said coldly.

"Yes, thank you, father-in-law, thank you, father-in-law." The little eunuch was grateful.

The three continued to move forward, and the lanterns and footsteps gradually disappeared at the end of the road.Sitting on the beam, Luo Bai always felt that the corpse lying on the door looked familiar.He thought about it carefully for a while, and suddenly remembered that the day before, when Chu Yuzhao locked himself in the room, a young eunuch sent a decoction, and he threw it out with a teacup.

Isn't this corpse the little eunuch who delivered the soup?

But he was just hit by a teacup, why did he die?He also said that he was beaten to death on the spot when delivering the soup and medicine?

These people are simply talking nonsense.

Luo Bai sat sullen for a while, then slipped away to Qiande Palace again.As a result, I searched the front hall and the back hall, but I didn't see anyone from Chu Yuzhao.

It wasn't until I heard the conversation between the two maids that I realized that he had gone to several places that had been flooded. He wanted to inspect the disaster situation there, and he would not return to the palace until a few days later.

A night without a beautiful brother peeping is an incomplete night, and it is also a night of extreme emptiness and loneliness.

The empty and lonely Luo Bai, who has nowhere to send him, finally condescended to put down his figure, and played with the wild cat.

Under the wall of a remote palace, barren weeds grew, and there was a pond not far away, which was covered with green duckweed because it had not been taken care of for a long time.

There is a big rock in the middle of the lawn, and a little leopard wearing a jade crown is sitting on the big rock.Sitting behind him were two tabby wild cats, with their front paws raised high, each holding a banana leaf crossed behind the little leopard.

A group of cats of different colors and sizes gathered in front of them, all sitting on their hind legs, standing upright, with their front paws holding a small wooden board.

Little Leopard tapped lightly with one paw on his side, looked at a dazed black cat in front of him with round eyes, raised the other paw, and pointed vigorously to the side.

——You, go and make some tea.

The black cat didn't know why, but it obediently walked to the place pointed by Xiaobao and stood there, continuing to be dazed.

After pretending to go to court for a while, a thunderstorm suddenly sounded in the sky, and the ground seemed to tremble.

The wild cats wanted to run away immediately, but Luo Bai hadn't given the order yet, so they didn't move, they just stood there and meowed.Luo Bai imitated the actions of Chu Yuzhao he had seen in court, with a sullen face, he held the 'teacup' made of leaves with his paws, and threw it straight ahead: "Oh!"

Where the court is going, the court must not make noise!
