I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

On the next journey, Luo Bai started chasing birds and chasing rabbits again, and from time to time picked one or two flowers that he thought were the most beautiful from the grass, and held them in front of Chu Yuzhao like a treasure.

"Brother, is it good-looking? Isn't it pretty?"

Chu Yuzhao said perfunctorily, "It looks good."

"But you didn't even look this way."

"Okay, read it."

"Can you see clearly like this? The beauty of this flower is Xin'er, and you haven't seen Xin'er clearly."

Chu Yuzhao looked into the distance: "Xin'er is good."

"Brother, there is a stream next to it, there may be fish in it, let's go and have a look."

"No."

"Ah, I see a rabbit behind that grass!"

"No."

"Brother, I think—"

"No."

……

After walking for half a day like this, I came out of the mountain unconsciously, the road under my feet widened, and some people were working in the fields beside the road.

Strangers are not often seen here. After seeing Luo Bai and the two of them, a familiar old farmer straightened up from the field and shouted at Chu Yuzhao from a distance: "Where are you going?"

Before Chu Yuzhao answered, Luo Bai responded enthusiastically, "Going to the county seat."

"The county seat, there is still a long way to go to the county seat, do you want to drink some water at home?"

Luo Bai glanced at Chu Yuzhao's expression, waved his hand and refused: "I won't go, thank you, we brought water."

"Oh, little daughter-in-law, are you going back to your mother's house with your man?" A aunt shouted to this side with a smile.

Judging from their attire from a distance, they felt that Chu Yuzhao and Luo Bai should be a young couple.

Luo Bai said: "Ah... Maybe so."

After walking for a while, leaving those farmers behind, Chu Yuzhao suddenly asked, "Do you know what your mother's family means?"

"Of course I know. In our village, married women often come back, that is, to return to their natal home." Luo Bai asked Chu Yuzhao: "Don't you understand what it means to go back to your natal home? I can explain it to you carefully."

"No, I understand." Chu Yuzhao refused.

Luo Bai nodded: "Well, my natal family is not here, my natal family is in the palace."

Chu Yuzhao glanced at him with a half-smile, and asked back, "Is your natal family in the palace?"

"Well, it's Yuqing Palace." Luo Bai didn't feel that anything was wrong, and said confidently: "Yuqing Palace is my natal family."

There are more and more pedestrians on the road, and some officers and soldiers who searched appeared.These officers and soldiers were of very low rank, and had never seen the current emperor. After seeing Chu Yuzhao, who was carrying a bacon bag and a string of garlic around his neck, he never dreamed that this was the person they were looking for.

The two went all the way until Chu Yuzhao saw a few familiar faces when they passed a pier, and then stopped.

Luo Bai leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter? Are we going to hide?"

"No need." Chu Yuzhao said.

A patrolling soldier passed by and saw that Chu Yuzhao had been staring at the temporary military tent on the pier. He couldn't help being suspicious and asked vigilantly, "Who are you? What are you looking at here?"

Chu Yuzhao didn't reply, he freed up a hand, took out a jade plaque from his jacket and handed it to him: "Take it to the person in the military tent."

The soldier took the jade token reflexively, and when he was about to get angry, he felt that the jade token was warm to the touch, and the jade surface was clear without a trace of variegation, and he knew it must not be ordinary.Going to look at the people in front of him again, he saw that although Chu Yuzhao was dressed as a sub-farmer, he had a luxurious and extraordinary bearing, and his expression was majestic, he couldn't help feeling a little bit in his heart, and ran to the military tent with the jade card.

Then, two people emerged from the military tent, looking around anxiously.

When Luo Bai saw them, he jumped excitedly and waved his hands: "Hey, Aunt Cheng, Fourth Brother Hong."

The two people looked over after hearing the voice, with ecstasy on their faces, Hongsi rushed forward, and Eunuch Cheng followed behind, but his foot slipped and almost fell, being supported by the little eunuch next to him, he stumbled towards this side run.

Hong Si rushed forward first, knelt down with a plop, his back trembling under the bow: "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Cheng knelt down in tears.

The surrounding soldiers who were still in a daze also came back to their senses at this moment, kneeling on the ground together: "Your Majesty's dragon body is in good health, long live long live."

Chu Yuzhao lowered his eyes and looked at the crowd. Although he was dressed in coarse clothes and local products were hung on his body, his innate dignity and majesty did not make people feel relaxed at all.

A moment later, in the tent.

Chu Yuzhao was wearing a robe with black background and gold lines, and sat at the head of the tent. Liu Huaifu and Zuoxiang Xinyuan sat on both sides of the lower head.

"I haven't shown up all this time, just to let the person behind the scenes come to the surface. But this person is really calm, and he has been able to stay still without showing any clues." Holding a cup of tea, Chu Yuzhao gently Leaving the lid of the cup aside, the whole face was hidden behind the curling white mist, "It just made you worry about me."

Zuo Xiang Xin Yuan got up and said: "Your Majesty has a high foresight, and has ordered the ministers and others long ago, if one day there is no news suddenly, immediately mobilize the soldiers and horses arranged in advance to monitor everyone in the palace and observe their every move. Therefore, after receiving the disappearance of His Majesty, the ministers did not panic, and just followed His Majesty's instructions."

Chu Yuzhao put down his teacup, tapped his fingers lightly on the coffee table, and muttered, "It's just that this time, the people in the court can see that you, Xin Zuoxiang, are by my side."

Xin Yuan said: "That's not true. It was Liu Shangshu who came forward to deal with it, and the old minister never showed up."

"En." Chu Yuzhao nodded in approval, and then asked: "Then how have they behaved in the past few days?"

Liu Huaifu stood up and replied: "King Lu took people to search along the river banks. They camped and rested by the river, and never returned to the mansion. According to reports from confidantes, several vassal kings assembled their respective troops, but did nothing. It seems to be watching, General Lengbing, who is on the border, will take back the army sent to the Dagel Grassland, and he should also be waiting for new news."

After he finished speaking, Chu Yuzhao didn't make a sound, the room was very quiet, only the sound of his knuckles tapping the coffee table was heard.

"Where is Prince Chu Yu?" After a while, he asked softly.

"Prince Chu Yu..." Liu Huaifu frowned and recalled, "He is still the same, he has been to the opera garden, and he has also bought beetles. He was reminded by his servants halfway, and went to the palace to inquire about His Majesty's news. After beating his chest and feet , Continue to play after leaving the palace."

"Well, I got it." Chu Yuzhao replied lightly with downcast eyes, and asked again: "Then, where is Qin Taifei?"

"Toffee?" Liu Huaifu seemed to be taken aback, not quite understanding why he asked about the concubine, but he still replied: "The concubine Qin sits in the palace and dispatches the imperial army to look for her majesty's traces."

Chu Yuzhao didn't express his opinion on these answers, but just looked noncommittal. Xin Yuan and Liu Huaifu didn't know what he was thinking at this time, so he suddenly changed the subject: "The identities of the assassins in the hunting ground have been found out." ?"

Liu Huaifu said: "Those assassins are divided into two groups, one group is dealing with His Majesty, and the other is dealing with Mr. Luo. The group who dealt with His Majesty retreated very quickly, and even if they were caught, they all committed suicide, leaving no one left behind. Looking for clues about his identity, it turns out that the assassins who dealt with Mr. Luo seem to be from Prince Lu's Mansion."

"King Lu?" Chu Yuzhao's eyes suddenly became sharp, like two sharp knives, revealing a chill, "Why did he assassinate Luo Bai?"

"The people who dealt with Mr. Luo were killed by the assassins of His Majesty, leaving only one alive. After the man survived by chance, he escaped from the hunting ground and was followed quietly by Hong Si, all the way to Lu Wang's mansion. Wait for him to leave the mansion Afterwards, Hong Si arrested him, and after a round of interrogation..." Liu Huaifu's expression suddenly became a little strange, and his words began to hesitate, "It seems, it seems that King Lu's original intention was not to assassinate Mr. Luo."

Chu Yuzhao looked at the hesitant Liu Huaifu, his sharp eyes narrowed.

Liu Huaifu glanced at him, and was about to bite the bullet and answer when Xin Yuan sighed beside him: "Your Majesty, let me tell you, old minister."

"The old official's son, Xin Zhiqu, that villain, ever since he met Mr. Luo in the palace, he, he... Hey!" Xin Yuan waved his hands, with a face of shame and anger, "His thoughts are all on his face , was noticed by King Lu, so he wanted to capture Mr. Luo in the hunting ground and give it to him. But that evil person didn't know that King Lu would do such a thing, and he only found out when I punished him..."

Xin Yuan thumped his chest, unable to say the rest, but it was enough for people to understand the cause and effect.

Although Liu Huaifu didn't know the relationship between the emperor and Luo Bai, he also knew that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, so he couldn't help but looked over with some trepidation.

There was no joy or anger visible on Chu Yuzhao's face, and he just lowered his eyes slightly, staring at a group of dark lines on his robe.

"After I heard the cause and effect, I have already punished the evil person in my family and locked him in the mansion—"

"Xin Xiang, what kind of severe punishment is it?" Chu Yuzhao suddenly interrupted Xin Yuan's words.

Xin Yuan was stunned, and said: "The old minister whipped him so hard that he couldn't get out of bed, shut him up in the mansion to reflect on his mistakes, and was not allowed to leave the mansion for a whole month."

"Yeah." Chu Yuzhao nodded, and agreed, "Xin Xiang really has a strict family style, so the son must have learned a lesson from this incident, and he will never have those unrealistic and absurd thoughts in the future."

An unrealistic and absurd idea... Xin Yuan was secretly surprised when he heard this sentence.

Although Xin Zhiqu was punished, even though he was lying on the bed and could not move, he begged Xin Yuan to beg for Luo Bai in front of the emperor for him.Xin Yuan whipped his son until his body was covered with bruises, he was cursing, but his heart was distressed, seeing his son yearning for Luo Bai so much, he thought that he was just such a person raised by the emperor at will, like a plaything, he simply asked for it, But listening to the emperor's words, it turned out that he could not let him go.

Not only can't let people go, they can't even have a thought.

Xin Yuan was stunned, and quickly said: "The old minister has no way to teach his son, which made him have such absurd thoughts. From now on, he must be strictly controlled. Please forgive him for the mistakes he made when he was young and ignorant."

Chu Yuzhao smiled faintly: "You don't have to blame yourself, Mr. Ling, you are still young, and it is inevitable to have some disagreements. As long as you return to self-cultivation and stop having those absurd thoughts, that's all. Besides, he doesn't know Chu Yu Since Prime Minister Zuo has already punished Luo Bai for kidnapping, I don't want to pursue it further. By the way, it is said that Mr. Ling is very talented. After three months of contemplating behind closed doors, I will take him to the hall for me to meet. "

Xin Yuan thought it was one month, how could it be three months?But he still replied respectfully: "The old minister thanked His Majesty."

Liu Huaifu raised his eyes, met his gaze, and smiled.

Xin Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart.

This beating made him understand that he should take good care of his son and not miss people who shouldn't, but at the same time, he also gave him a sweet date. He will meet Xin Zhiqu in person after three months. There will be a good future.

Xin Yuan was secretly startled by the emperor's tricks, but he was also very relieved that he finally chose the wrong person to support, and he was not on the wrong team.

As for his son's obsessions, after returning home, he taught him a strict lesson to let him know that some people should never forget about them, and put an end to this idea as soon as possible.

Luo Bai was currently in the military tent next door, stripped naked by Yuan Fu, and held in a wooden barrel to take a bath.

"Aunt Yuanfu, I miss you so much. You don't know, these days, I've been thinking every day, what is Aunt Yuanfu doing? Did you leave me chestnut cakes, did you collect my glass beads?" Okay..." Luo Bai lay on the wall of the barrel, letting Yuan Fu rub his back with a towel.

Yuan Fu smiled and said, "Are you thinking about me, or are you thinking about chestnut cakes and glass beads?"

"I'm definitely missing you. By the way, think about chestnut cakes and glass beads." Luo Bai said sweetly.

Yuan Fu smeared soap on his back: "You're thinner, the shoulder blades are protruding." Then he asked in a low voice: "I've been outside for a few days, how is Your Majesty treating you?"

"Okay, Your Majesty is fine, he doesn't even eat the bacon in the bowl, let me eat it." Luo Bai said.

Yuan Fu said: "Your Majesty really cares about you. As soon as you arrived here, he asked someone to pick me up from the palace, saying that it is more appropriate to take care of you than others."

"Of course, His Majesty likes me so much that he can't leave me for a moment." Luo Bai grabbed a ball of foam from the top of his head and squeezed it in his hands to play.

Yuan Fu couldn't help laughing out loud: "Look at your complacency, don't get carried away too much, and be careful that you will be punished someday."

"Punish me to eat five pieces of chestnut cake, and punish me to drink three bowls of Bobobo soup, oh, it's so uncomfortable, I'm so sad." Luo Bai said with a wrinkled face.

Yuan Fu put a wet veil on his head: "It's alright, alright, take a good bath."

After Luo Bai took a shower, he put on the clothes Yuan Fu brought, and became that noble young master again.

"Don't throw away that skirt of mine. If you put it on, you will be Piao Piao's sister, Elvis Presley. Aunt Yuan Fu, please don't throw it away." Luo Bai was pressed on the stool by Yuan Fu to comb his hair, and he turned his head and told him incredulously. .

"Understood, Sister Wang, Piao Piao Mao Mao." Yuan Fu said unhappily.

Luo Bai seriously corrected: "It's sister Piao Piao, Elvis Presley, pay attention to the order."

Yuan Fu tied his hair, while nagging about the loss of the only small jade crown, which he had to go to the House of Internal Affairs to get back after returning to the palace, while inserting the wooden hairpin he had just removed into his bun.

"Although it doesn't look good, it's okay, and I'll change it for you when I return to the palace."

"Yeah." Luo Bai said obediently: "Auntie Yuanfu combs my hair for comfort. When I comb my hair, it hurts me to death."

Yuan Fu paused, and asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty still combs your hair?"

"Yeah, I don't know how to comb my hair, so what if he doesn't do it for me?" Luo Bai replied straightforwardly.

When returning to the palace, Chu Yuzhao did not share the car with Luo Bai this time, so Luo Bai sat with Yuan Fu and continued to answer his questions.

"Your majesty carried your bacon for you?"

"Well, I can't carry it anymore, I walk very slowly."

"Then you have been sharing the bed with His Majesty these days?" Yuan Fu asked cautiously.

Luo Bai looked out of the car window and replied casually: "There is only one bed, we must sleep together."

"Then he..." Yuan Fu couldn't ask what he wanted to ask, and he just sat silently without saying a word.

He originally thought that His Majesty didn't have that kind of thought for Luo Bai, but this time, he was not sure.
