I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

"Your Majesty, from when Lu He left Qiande Palace to when Mr. Luo saw her again, there was a full half an hour. What was she doing in Qiande Palace?" Hong Si asked in a low voice.

Eunuch Cheng bowed his head and did not speak. He has a different personality from Hong Si, and he will always think carefully before speaking.

Luhe is the person next to Concubine Qin, if she has a problem, then Concubine Qin will definitely be involved.

Concubine Qin and His Majesty are cousins, not to mention that in those years, the two siblings spent a period of time dependent on each other in the cold palace.His Majesty looked at this cousin like this, and even gave her the right to mobilize troops, how dare he make a noise so easily?

Luo Bai stood beside Chu Yuzhao, watching all his movements all the time.He noticed that after Hong Si asked this sentence, Chu Yuzhao clenched the armrest of the chair beside him, and his breathing froze for a moment, so he couldn't help leaning over with some worry.

The few people in the room didn't speak any more, they all fell silent, and Luo Bai subconsciously held his breath, looking at this and then that, feeling a little nervous for no reason.

Hong Si took two steps forward, fell to his knees with a plop, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, please allow Hong Si to check on Lu He."

Chu Yuzhao lowered his eyes and did not make a sound. Eunuch Cheng gritted his teeth and took a step forward and knelt down: "Your Majesty, this old servant also thinks that there should be an investigation. Even if it is found that there is something wrong with Lu He, it may not necessarily be related to others, but If she is innocent, then it is even more necessary to investigate."

What Eunuch Cheng didn't say was that if he didn't check, then there would always be a thorn in the emperor's heart, a thorn between him and Concubine Qin, embedded in the flesh and blood, and would cause a dull pain from time to time.

Luo Bai seemed to understand, but he was also a little uneasy, knowing that the time he ran into Lu He should be related to this painting.

So kind sister Luhe, is she a bad person?

After a while, Chu Yuzhao said in a deep voice: "Hong Si, then I will leave this matter to you to investigate."

Eunuch Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and Hong Si responded loudly: "I obey my orders, and I will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom."

When Hong Si and Cheng Gonggong left, Chu Yuzhao picked up the pen and began to write, Luo Bai slowly moved over, pretending to look at the words with his head sideways, but secretly looked at him blindly.

Chu Yuzhao's eyelashes drooped down, and his gaze on the paper was calm, as if those words just now had nothing to do with him.

But Luo Bai knew that he was in a bad mood right now.

Another stroke was crooked, Chu Yuzhao crumpled the piece of paper into a ball, threw it aside, took another piece of paper and was about to write, but an arm came up around his waist, and the hand holding the pen was also held down. .

"Stop writing, I'll kiss you." Luo Bai whispered in his ear.

Chu Yuzhao didn't respond, but also stood still, Luo Bai put his whole body into his chest and embraced him, and pressed his lips to his chin and face.

Luo Bai's lips were soft and moist, and every time they fell, he raised his eyes to see Chu Yuzhao's expression, like a small animal tentatively showing affection.I want to restore the master's mood, but I don't know if the method I use is suitable, so I am extra cautious.

Chu Yuzhao looked down at him, and when he put a thin peck on his lips, his breath froze for a moment.He raised his hand to pinch the back of Luo Bai's neck, and pulled back slightly, as if to stop him from continuing, but he kept this movement and didn't let go, as if he was clamping him not to leave.

The two sniffed each other, and Luo Bai felt that Chu Yuzhao's breathing rate was slightly unstable. He gently stroked the hand pinching the back of his neck, and without much effort, he broke off the fingers one by one. open.

Then he wrapped his arms around Chu Yuzhao's waist and touched his lips again, pecking like a chicken pecking at rice.

Gradually, Chu Yuzhao finally responded. He wrapped his arms around Luo Bai's waist with one hand, clasped the back of his head with the other, and began to kiss his lips, gradually increasing his strength.

Luo Bai's lips hurt a little, and those two iron-like arms strangled him, but he held back and didn't make a sound, only obeying meekly.

After a long time, Chu Yuzhao raised his head, still panting heavily, and his eyes were also red.He looked at Luo Bai with a confused and annoyed expression.

Luo Bai was full of joy, he liked this kiss very much, and wanted to make Chu Yuzhao happier, so he slowly reached down with one hand.

"Brother, I will make you happy." He whispered softly, his voice sticky as if mixed with honey.

But after a while, he was suddenly pushed away, staggered two steps back, and stood still while holding on to the table.At the same time, Chu Yuzhao yelled angrily: "What are you doing?"

Luo Bai raised his head to look at Chu Yuzhao, only saw his face full of anger, but didn't see the panic flashing in his eyes, the thoughts in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he stammered: "I, I just want you Be happy, just want to help you. You helped me too, I feel very comfortable and happy."

Chu Yuzhao looked at him, broke out in cold sweat almost instantly, took a step back almost in embarrassment, strode into the bathroom again, closed the door with a bang, picked up the copper basin on the wooden frame, and looked at it from the side He scooped up half a basin of cold water from the cold water tank, and just poured it on his head, from head to toe.

Panting for breath, he looked at the wet man in the bronze mirror opposite, his eyes were covered with red threads, and even the eye sockets were congested and red, but the eyes were full of self-blame and annoyance, like a trapped animal.

After a long time, he took off the robe that was dripping with water, picked up the silk robe in the bathroom and changed into it, opened the door and walked out.

Luo Bai stood in the middle of the room helplessly, like a child who knew he had done something wrong but didn't know where he went wrong. After seeing Chu Yuzhao, he took two steps forward and said in a panic: " Brother, I was wrong, don't be angry."

Chu Yuzhao's expression had returned to normal, and he was a little tired. He sat down on the chair in front of the window, and seeing Luo Bai still standing there, he said, "Come here."

Luo Bai quickly ran over in small steps, standing upright with his hands hanging by his legs, Chu Yuzhao glanced at him: "What are you doing standing so upright? Find a stool and sit down."

Luo Bai sat beside him, picking his fingers nervously, Chu Yuzhao sighed: "You didn't do anything wrong, don't worry, it's my own problem."

Hearing this, Luo Bai was relieved, but felt a little wronged, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Just now you were angry with me."

Chu Yuzhao reached out and stroked the top of his hair, his voice was a little hoarse: "Luo Bai, I'm just angry with myself."

"You killed me and pushed me."

After a moment of silence, Chu Yuzhao said, "I'm sorry."

"I'm mad at you for what?" Chu Yuzhao said.

"But why are you angry with yourself?" Luo Bai couldn't help asking.

Chu Yuzhao seemed to lower his head in thought, before saying after a while: "Because I shouldn't have those thoughts, after all you don't understand anything..."

Luo Bai didn't like Chu Yuzhao's saying that he didn't understand anything, and he didn't like the tone of loss and pity, as if he was accusing him of not being a normal person, why he was a fool.

"What am I not understanding? What am I not understanding?" Luo Bai suddenly raised his volume, raised his head and said loudly excitedly: "It's just that I don't want me to touch your peas, and I don't want me to kiss you."

Chu Yuzhao looked at him in astonishment, and wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Luo Bai said aggrievedly: "But you obviously like it very much, like me to kiss you and touch your peas, but you just want to get angry. I know everything, but you insist on saying I don't understand."

Chu Yuzhao opened and closed his mouth, closed and opened it, then turned his head to look at the door of the room, wondering if someone outside was listening, and when Luo Bai continued loudly again, he covered his mouth , gritted his teeth and said: "Ancestor, keep your voice down."

Luo Bai covered his mouth with him, and whimpered indistinctly under his palm.

"Okay, okay, you understand, you understand everything, but you are not allowed to say it." Chu Yuzhao said in a low voice.

Luo Bai didn't try to speak anymore, Chu Yuzhao saw that he was quiet, so he let go of his hand.

"I still want to say." Luo Bai looked sideways, a little stubbornly said.

Chu Yuzhao sighed: "Then you can say it, but don't shout, I can hear you even if you speak softly."

"I know everything, these things can only be done with the person I like. You did the same last time, saying that my liking for you is not what you want. I don't know what kind of like you want, but I can die for you, I don't want anyone but you. Isn't this kind of like what you want? You can tell me what kind of like you want, and I can change it and give you that kind of like. "

Luo Bai's posture looked very stubborn, but his words revealed pleading and fear, even his voice trembled slightly, and his eyes sparkled.

Chu Yuzhao was so shocked that he was like a statue, unable to say anything.

These were the most beautiful and purest love words he had ever heard.

He has never been like an ordinary person, when he was a teenager, he longed for love with longing.Those cruel struggles and intrigues for survival seemed to accompany him throughout the first half of his life, and they also prevented him from believing in love. He believed that there was still a person in this world who kept his precious and precious place in his heart and said to him, I can die for you, I don't want anyone but you.

If this is not love, what is it?

If Luo Bai doesn't understand love, then who in this world would dare to say that he understands love?

Luo Bai was looking sideways, trying his best not to let the tears fall, when he felt a generous palm gently close to his face, and straightened his head.

He looked at Chu Yuzhao in front of him with teary eyes, failed to see the deep ecstasy and distress in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't...don't think I'm crying, actually...in fact, there is no, it's sand... It's sand in the eye. Yes, sand in the eye."

Chu Yuzhao wiped away the little water marks at the end of his eyes, gently and carefully, as if he was dealing with some fragile treasure.She didn't say anything, just pulled him into her arms and pressed him tightly against her chest.

Luo Bai felt Chu Yuzhao's emotions at the moment from these actions, and didn't speak any more, just fell in his arms.It's just that the tears that were suffocated can finally flow out, and they secretly rubbed against his clothes, and then cried: "Oh, sand has entered again."

The eunuchs on duty in front of the door took turns quietly, and the eunuchs who had retired had just stepped out of the Qiande Palace when they met Eunuch Cheng who was coming towards him.

"Eunuch." The eunuch hurriedly saluted.

Eunuch Cheng nodded, and after walking a few steps, he turned around and asked, "Is this a job change?"

"Yes, just changed."

"What happened to His Majesty just now?"

The eunuch thought for a while, and said, "Maybe the beans for lunch are not suitable for your appetite, or the size is too big? The servant didn't hear clearly, so he heard Mr. Luo yelling about beans."

"Double?" Eunuch Cheng was taken aback, "There are no beans in the imperial meal today."

"The slave doesn't know."

Eunuch Cheng thought for a moment: "Go to the imperial dining room and send a message that tonight's dinner will include a stewed snow pheasant with beans."

"Yes."

"The beans should be bigger, just kidney beans."

"Yes."

Hong Si's investigation soon yielded results.

One evening two days later, there was thunder rolling in the sky, and it seemed that it was going to rain.Chu Yuzhao was holding Luo Bai's hand, teaching him to write in an embracing posture, when he heard the sound of communication coming from the door.

"Your Majesty." Hong Si came in and saluted, but after calling out His Majesty, there was no further words, and he hesitated to speak.

Luo Bai raised his head from Chu Yuzhao's arms, looked over his arm to look at Hong Si, and shouted with a smile: "Brother Hong Si."

Chu Yuzhao twisted his head back: "Write your handwriting well."

Luo Bai started writing again, and Chu Yuzhao turned around and sat down on the chair, saying, "Just tell me what you have."

Hong Si knew these things and didn't need to hide from Luo Bai, and directly replied: "Your Majesty, I have gone to investigate the matter of Lu He, and the results have already been obtained."

When Luo Bai heard the word Luhe, he couldn't help turning his head to look, and saw Chu Yuzhao lowered his eyes and asked, "What kind of result?"

"I found the food box that Lvhe used to hold the hangover soup. There was a little paint rubbed on one of the layers. Compared with the paint on the painting, it was the same kind. It can be seen that the day She stacked the painted tissue paper in the food box, then found a chance to enter the house, and pasted that layer of paper on the original picture of Yun Ji Qiu Yun."

"Well, have you passed the interrogation?" Chu Yuzhao asked lightly, looking at his fingers resting on the armrest.

Hong Si said: "It's been interrogated, it was interrogated by Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Punishment."

Anyone who has been interrogated by Liu Yuci from the Ministry of Criminal Justice is like going through a purgatory. They can't live but can't die, and the final ending is to confess everything.

"So... did she say anything?" Chu Yuzhao's voice didn't fluctuate, but Luo Bai, who had been staring at him, subconsciously held his breath.

Hong Si gritted her teeth, and said, "She fainted several times and didn't say who it was, but the point is clear."

A flash of lightning flashed outside the window, followed by heavy thunder. Hong Si seemed to take a breath, and said again: "The veil that His Majesty found in the fourth prince's tomb, I also found some clues."

After a moment of silence, Chu Yuzhao asked hoarsely, "Is it her too?"

"Lvhe's mother is from western Yunnan, and her family's handicraft is to make flat gold thread. The flat gold thread used on that handkerchief was brought into the palace after she went home to visit her relatives."
