I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

There was a muffled thunder from the sky, a flash of lightning, and raindrops fell without warning.

Luo Bai felt a few drops of cold fall on his face, but he didn't dare to move, and he didn't dare to remind Chu Yuzhao, he only half-closed his eyes when the raindrops fell.

Chu Yuzhao still didn't speak, but tightened his arms so that his face was facing his chest, and quickened his pace.

He carried Luo Bai back to the Qiande Palace like this, and all the palace people he met along the way saw it and stood aside intently.

When he entered the bedroom, Chu Yuzhao threw his cloak on the soft bed of the green gauze cabinet, and told him to get dressed quickly and go take a bath.

Luo Bai was lying on the floppy bed, his cloak was a little loose between movements, exposing his thin shoulders, neck and collarbone.He looked at Chu Yuzhao from bottom to top, and said, "Okay, I'll take a bath in the petal pool, and come back to accompany you when the bath is fragrant."

His disheveled appearance, coupled with those moist eyes, made Chu Yuzhao look away, and said a little stiffly: "You are not allowed to go to the dew pool, just wash in the bathroom next to it."

"Okay."

But soon, Chu Yuzhao regretted his decision.

"The sound of the rooster crowing is foggy, and it's difficult to lift a flower handkerchief... I'm Elvis Presley... Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

After Chu Yuzhao wrote another typo, he threw the pen back to the desk, got up and strode towards the door.

Cheng Gonggong came over from the corridor and asked quickly, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"I'm going to visit the garden."

Eunuch Cheng glanced at the rain curtain at the end of the corridor, and said in a little surprise, "But Your Majesty, it's raining outside."

Chu Yuzhao stood still without answering, just staring at the front in silence.

"... a bag of dew and a bag of grass, you can't rely on your enemies... Elvis Presley woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...you are so beautiful..."

Eunuch Cheng froze, turned around and said, "This old slave is going to prepare an umbrella for His Majesty."

When Chu Yuzhao walked into the garden, Eunuch Cheng put the umbrella on his head, and he took it over and supported him, so Eunuch Cheng took another umbrella and stood behind him.

"Chengshou, did a famous servant almost get killed tonight?" Chu Yuzhao asked after standing for a long while, when the corners of their robes were soaked by the rain.

The raindrops crackled on the umbrella, and the trees farther away were covered in the thick night.

Eunuch Cheng did not hide anything, and replied: "Yes, it is Chen Rong, the eunuch who serves His Majesty's meals during the day, and was almost thrown into the well."

"Can the perpetrator be caught?" Chu Yuzhao asked without hope.

Eunuch Cheng said: "Run away, those two people just entered the palace this year, and they only did some rough work in the laundry bureau. Tonight, they found an opportunity to sneak into the inner palace and take advantage of the opportunity to commit murder. Hongsi is looking for clues, and there are already Some clues. It was also Chen Rong's fate, who was rescued by the god leopard when he was dragging to the well."

"Xiaobai saved it?"

"Yes."

"The old slave has already mentioned the people serving His Majesty, telling them not to leave the bedroom alone if they have nothing to do, and also told the Imperial Forest Army that two more teams will patrol at night." Eunuch Cheng whispered.

Chu Yuzhao was silent for a moment, then turned around noncommittally and said, "Let's go, we're going back."

Luo Bai took a comfortable bath, and sang very happily, his voice was a little hoarse, and then he crawled out of the barrel to put on the new clothes that the waiter put on the table.

This is a set of silver-white pajamas and pajama pants, made of satin fabric, which is very comfortable to fit, and the length is suitable for wearing.Luo Bai trembled, seeing the rippling lines of the cloth, he was very satisfied.

When he pushed open the bathroom door, Chu Yuzhao happened to come in through the door, he didn't even look at Luo Bai, and walked past him to the bathroom.

With sharp eyes, Luo Bai saw that the hem of his robe was wet, and asked in surprise, "Brother, did you go out to get wet?"

"Ah."

"You didn't wait for me when you went to get in the rain." Luo Bai yelled, annoyed that he missed the opportunity to play with his brother.

Chu Yuzhao stepped into the bathroom without looking back, and closed the door with a bang.

The little eunuch twisted Luo Bai's hair with a dry handkerchief, and when it was done, Chu Yuzhao came out of the bathroom.

He was still wearing a black bathrobe, revealing a small piece of his strong chest dripping with water. When he noticed that Luo Bai's eyeballs were sticking to him again, he turned slightly sideways and fastened the top button calmly.

The little eunuch changed into a dry handkerchief to wipe Chu Yuzhao's hair, Luo Bai took the handkerchief over and said, "Go and rest, I'll do it."

Seeing that Chu Yuzhao did not object, the little eunuch retreated after responding.

Chu Yuzhao sat in front of the desk reviewing the memorial, with long black hair hanging down his back, which softened his cold and solemn demeanor.

Luo Bai imitated the little eunuch and twisted his wet hair with a dry handkerchief. Although he was a little clumsy, his hands were light, and he looked decent.

Chu Yuzhao's hair was long and hard, and Luo Bai patiently brushed it bit by bit.There was constant rain outside the window, but inside the house there was only the rustle of flipping books. Luo Bai glanced at the reflections of the two on the wall from time to time, and rarely spoke, only feeling satisfied and at peace in his heart.

The next day, the Royal Study Room.

Chu Yuzhao rubbed the wooden pony in his hand, and asked Bu Qingfeng who was standing below: "You mean, the soul has been nourished, and you can use the magic circle to save it?"

Bu Qingfeng replied: "That's right. Since Mr. Luo has seen him, it proves that the soul has been raised well, but he doesn't want to show his body, and he can be saved. But the magic circle can't be opened in the palace. Wait until you find a place where there is no one. A quiet place to disturb."

After a moment of silence, Chu Yuzhao asked, "What if you don't go overboard?"

"Not to exceed the degree?" Bu Qingfeng guessed the emperor's thoughts in his heart, and replied hesitantly: "There have been precedents of not exceeding the degree before, and they are all relatives who are reluctant to pass away. It is good to want the soul of the dead to stay by your side. But as time passes, the soul of the dead finally Dissipated, even the chance of reincarnation is gone..."

Chu Yuzhao unconsciously drew a circle along the wood grain with his thumb, and said in a low voice, "Then today, let's go to the Zhuangzi outside the city."

"Of order, the poor monk will go to prepare now. Just ask His Majesty to bring Mr. Luo with him. If the soul of the dead does not want to appear, then he can only ask Mr. Luo to inform the poor monk of his movements at any time."

Luo Bai wore new clothes again this morning, a light blue moiré shirt.He went back to Yuqing Palace to press his claws, flirted with Yuan Fu for a while, showed off his new clothes, and then returned to Qiande Palace.

When passing by the tree where the clothes were hidden last night, I didn't bother to turn into a leopard, so I just climbed up to get the clothes.

After a night of heavy rain, the clothes placed among the branches were soaked, and he picked them up and dripped water, so he squatted on the branch carefully and wrung out the clothes.

After twisting it twice, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed someone beside him. He glanced to the side, and saw the ghost baby's pale face again.

Although he had seen the ghost doll several times, he was still taken aback by seeing it so suddenly, and grabbed the tree trunk next to him.

Chu Yuce seemed to be frightened too, shrank back, and stood lightly on the treetop.

"What are you doing here?" Luo Bai's beating heart gradually calmed down.

Chu Yuce looked at him blankly, as if he couldn't understand what he said.

"Have you stayed in this wood all this time? But your brother is looking for you."

Although Chu Yuce didn't answer, Luo Bai was also very patient: "I'll take you to see him, okay? He really wants to see you, don't be afraid, he won't hurt you, he misses you very much."

Seeing that Chu Yuce didn't respond, Luo Bai boldly went to hold his hand, and glanced at his face.Unexpectedly, before touching him, Chu Yuce showed a frightened expression, and then disappeared before Luo Bai's eyes.

"Hey, where have you been? Don't be so timid, come out."

Luo Bai yelled into the surrounding air, but didn't get any response, so he had to go back to Qiande Palace in dismay.

Stepping into the gate of the palace, Chu Yuzhao was putting on his clothes with his back facing him, a black robe that went out, which matched his broad shoulders and narrow waist, his height and long legs.

Chu Yuzhao adjusted the position of his belt, raised his hand to fasten the buckle around his neck, Luo Bai slowly walked to his side, looked up at him, and whispered after a while: "I met Chu Yuce again."

Chu Yuzhao paused and asked, "What about now? Missing again?"

"Well, it's gone again." Luo Bai said.

Chu Yuzhao continued to fasten the button, and said in his mouth: "Get ready, and leave the palace immediately."

"Going out of the palace?" Luo Bai's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, go out of the palace. Are we going to play or where are we going? Are we going to watch the cricket and cock fight in the west of the city, or go to Lijiajiao to buy a ring? Wang Yuanzi's famous actor sings an opera It’s also okay, or go to Huifeng Building to eat special dishes.”

He heard everything he said from Chu Yu's mouth.

Chu Yuzhao glanced at him lightly, and walked out while fastening his cuff buttons: "Will you go to the Zhuangzi where you stayed that day?"

Luo Bai was a little disappointed when he heard that he was going to that village again, but seeing that Chu Yuzhao had already stepped out of the palace gate, he quickly chased after him: "I'll go, I'll go."

This time, Chu Yuzhao only brought a few personal guards with him, left the palace through the side door, and left in the carriage waiting in front of the palace gate, without alarming others.

Luo Bai watched the outside with relish from the car window, but when he passed a pavilion, he saw a few gorgeous women standing at the door, so he put down the curtain and sat up straight nervously.

Chu Yuzhao had been leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, and now he opened his eyes slightly to look at him, and then reached out to lift the curtain of the car, but Luo Bai held down the back of his hand.

"Don't, don't look." Luo Bai said.

Chu Yuzhao raised an eyebrow, showing a questioning expression.

Luo Bai lowered his voice and said: "There are fox spirits, there are many of them."

Seeing that Chu Yuzhao didn't understand, Luo Bai explained patiently: "These vixens will catch people on the street, drag them into the house after they catch them, and even bite your face."

Chu Yuzhao's eyes were puzzled at first, and then a flash of understanding flashed across his eyes. He glanced at him meaningfully, then leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.

The carriage soon arrived beside Zhuangzi, Luo Bai got out of the carriage, and followed Chu Yuzhao into Zhuangzi's main hall.

Bu Qingfeng was already waiting in the main hall, and when he saw Chu Yuzhao, he wanted to salute, but Chu Yuzhao raised his hand to stop him: "Take me to see the formation."

"Yes."

Under the leadership of Bu Qingfeng, a group of people walked through several long corridors, and then through the backyard. After walking a section of the mountain road, they arrived at the foot of the back mountain.

This is an open land, but it is located at the angle between two mountain peaks, so it is not easy to be found.An altar has been set up in the arena, surrounded by several soul-calling banners.

Luo Bai had never seen such a formation before, but seeing that Chu Yuzhao had a serious expression and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and that Hong Si who followed behind him also had the same expression, he held back his curiosity and did not ask.

Bu Qingfeng was still wearing a cassock over his monk robe today, and with his handsome face, he looked a little out of the ordinary.He asked Chu Yuzhao's meaning in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the time has come, can we start?"

"Let's start." Chu Yuzhao said.

Luo Bai didn't know what they meant by the so-called beginning, but he also felt a little nervous, and leaned against Chu Yuzhao.

Bu Qingfeng walked to the altar and lit a stick of incense. There were several monks meditating beside him, and their chanting became louder, and they kept tapping the wooden fish on their hands.

Luo Bai looked at Bu Qingfeng for a moment, watching him bite his finger and write quickly on a piece of yellow paper.When the final touch was completed, the yellow paper ignited without fire.Bu Qingfeng threw the yellow paper into the sky, and shouted sharply: "Chu Yuce, the soul is back!"

The paper dust flew with the wind, and the monks rang the bell, and the sound waves came out of the valley and spread to the distance layer by layer.

Luo Bai looked at Chu Yuzhao, and saw that although he hadn't said a word, the hand that was hanging on the edge of his robe was tightly clenched, as if his heart was tense, so he quietly reached out and touched the back of his right hand twice comfortingly. .

The moment Chu Yuzhao touched him, his right hand moved slightly, then he took it away, and changed to a posture with his hands crossed over his chest.

A group of people stood still, watching Bu Qingfeng burn another piece of yellow paper, and shouted the summoning order again, but after waiting for a long time, there was still nothing unusual around.

Chu Yuzhao, who had been silent all this time, finally asked, "Bu Qingfeng, what's going on now?"

Bu Qingfeng didn't care that Chu Yuzhao was right in front of him, and asked Luo Bai directly: "Mr. Luo, have you seen Chu Yuce's soul?"

"Ah." Under everyone's gaze, Luo Bai looked around blankly, shook his head and said, "No, he's not here."

Bu Qingfeng frowned and said to himself: "It is said that the soul of the dead will be attracted by the summoning order, why doesn't he come?"

Luo Bai asked: "Are you going to let him come here? Ghost baby is very timid, he dare not come alone."

Chu Yuzhao lowered his eyes and said softly: "He doesn't want to come, he doesn't want to see me..."

His words seemed to be whispering, and Luo Bai, who was standing very close and had been watching him, heard it.

Bu Qingfeng returned to the venue to continue the practice, and the sound of the soul-calling bell and the monks' chanting was endless.But Chu Yuzhao turned around silently, walked under a tree behind, and stared into the distance in a daze.

Luo Bai stared at his back, only felt that the back was lonely and sad, and his heart was also pulled into a ball.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him now, he slowly moved to the side, trotted again, ran to the back of the mountain where no one could see, and turned into a little leopard.

Little Leopard picked up his scattered clothes and looked around, finally got into the nearby bushes, hid the clothes inside, and ran towards the palace.

Zhuangzi was not too far away from the capital. Luo Bai arrived at the west gate, and while the soldiers were not paying attention, he passed under the feet of the people who lined up, and rushed into the city swiftly like a gust of wind, leaving only a piece of fat and a big white Cats marvel.

He jumped on those roofs, and when he encountered wild cats following up, he drove them away with a low growl.

Don't follow me, I'm very busy today and I don't have time to play with you.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he followed a procurement carriage returning to the palace, ran to the wheel axle, avoided the guard's sight, and followed the palace step by step.

He kept running towards the woods in front of the west hall, let out a low growl, and searched for the ghost baby.

Ghost doll, Chu Yuce, where are you?I have something to tell you, come out.

He crawled around in those bushes, climbed up the trees and leaped between the branches, or stood upright, with a paw between his eyebrows, condescendingly looking for the ghost doll.

It was the first time that Luo Bai wanted to see the miserable white face of the ghost doll so much, and ran around in the woods anxiously. When he leaned against a big tree and looked around, he suddenly heard a timid voice from above: "Cat cat."

Luo Bai looked up and saw that the ghost baby was sitting on the branch above his head, looking at himself with those eyes full of black pupils.

Hey!you are here.

Luo Bai was overjoyed and stretched out his two paws upwards.

Come down, come down, come down.

Chu Yuce looked at him with blank eyes, and Luo Bai's two furry paws patted each other.

Come down, I'll follow you.

Chu Yuce stared at the little leopard in a daze for a while, and said cats and cats, and landed lightly in front of the little leopard from the tree.

"Cat cat..."

Luo Bai was overjoyed, yes yes yes, I am a cat, I am a cat, you can call me a dog.

The timidity on Chu Yuce's face slowly faded, and he carefully squatted down in front of Luo Bai.Luo Bai was afraid of scaring him, so he tried his best to stay still, and even showed his most kind and friendly smile.

When the leopard face showed a smile, the ghost doll showed panic again, Luo Bai immediately closed his mouth and kept his face calm.

Chu Yuce reached out his hand hesitantly, as if he wanted to touch him, but as if he heard something suddenly, he turned his head and looked into the distance, then got up and walked a few steps in that direction.

Luo Bai turned his ears to listen carefully, but he didn't hear anything, but when he followed a few steps closer to Chu Yuce, he vaguely heard the ringing of the bell, and there was a sound of Chu Yuce, the soul is back...

Ah, it turns out that the bald brother's voice can be heard here.

He watched Chu Yuce take a few steps forward, then stopped, his blank face showed a little struggle, and then he showed a look of fear, turned around and walked quickly to the tree, stretched out his hand to cover the tree. I blocked my ears.

He was afraid, it wasn't that he didn't want to go, it was that he was really too timid.

Luo Bai was thinking in his heart, walked to Chu Yuce's side, raised his paw and patted his leg lightly.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I will be with you.

Chu Yuce looked at the tree trunk in front of him, muttering something in a low voice, Luo Bai moved closer, pricked up his ears, and heard some intermittent sentences.

"...Brother said you are not allowed to run around...you have to listen to your brother...you have to be obedient..."

Luo Bai was startled, couldn't help but patted his leg again, and let out a soft cry.

Ow...

That's what my brother said before, right?But now he wants you to go, you don't have to listen to what he said before.

Bu Qingfeng's call came to Chu Yuce's ears with a sound, and it seemed to be a great temptation to him, but in his remaining consciousness, he still firmly remembered the exhortations of Chu Yuzhao before his death: Don't run around, it will be dangerous, just be obedient Stay in the palace and listen to your brother.

Seeing that Chu Yuce covered his ears and did not move, Luo Bai had no choice but to see that there was no one around, so he turned back into a boy, squatted naked beside Chu Yuce, and said, "Your brother is waiting for you, I will accompany you." You go, don't be afraid."

Chu Yuce trembled in fright, Luo Bai was afraid that he would disappear, so he quickly transformed back into a little leopard, jumping up and down beside him.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's me, it's me.
