I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

Luo Bai knew that Chu Yuzhao was dealing with business, so after putting down the tea, he would retreat in a sensible way, and absolutely not to disturb him.

But it was rare to be so close to my brother, and he was not chased away by the guards, so I really didn't want to leave.

He reluctantly took two steps back, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the two court ladies behind the Dragon Seat holding fans of honor.Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he turned his feet around, moved over quietly, and stood side by side with a court lady.

It's really nice here...

Luo Bai saw that the maid next to him was standing straight and not looking sideways, so he also stood up properly, but seeing that the fan of ceremonial guards did not seem too light, he leaned slightly and asked kindly: "Sister, can I lift the fan for you?" ?”

Although the maid didn't look at him, she was beating her heart, she didn't know the identity of this young master, she was making tea for a while, and squeezed to stand beside her for a while, and now she actually offered to help her hold the ceremonial fan.

Seeing her silence, Luo Bai thought she had acquiesced, so he reached out to get the handle of the fan.The maid was flustered and didn't dare to say anything, Luo Bai took the fan of honor away and smiled at her, two dimples appeared on Bai Shengsheng's cheeks.

The maid stood with her hands empty, and looked at the maid holding the other fan begging for help. The maid had never encountered such a thing, but she was still calm, so she gave her a look and signaled her to back off.

The maid had no choice but to bow and walk away quickly, and entered the inner hall along the passage, Luo Bai meticulously held up the ornate fan of honor, standing solemnly.

It's just that those eyeballs are stuck to Chu Yuzhao's solid back.

The officials standing below finally noticed something was wrong. Why did someone come out from behind the Dragon Seat, who was neither a servant nor a palace lady, and was holding a fan of honor with the palace lady?

But someone who can stand beside the throne with such fanfare is not a stranger assassin, not to mention that the atmosphere in the hall is solemn, and his own money can't be distressed, so why would he worry about this, and put this doubt in his mind in an instant back.

Only when Chu Yu saw Luo Bai, he quickly raised the back of his hand to cover his mouth, coughed twice, and then turned his gaze away.

The guards also recognized Luo Bai, but the emperor was still in the hall, and they didn't dare to arrest him. Fortunately, they knew his identity, and they only complained secretly in their hearts, hoping that he would not cause any trouble.

Chu Yuzhao didn't know that Luo Bai was already standing behind him, sneering, and looked at Lu Wang Chu Yulu.

"King Lu really has a heart. He relieved my worries and solved the urgent need for the empty treasury."

Chu Yulu's eyelids twitched, and the hands hanging on both sides were secretly clenched, with hatred in his heart, but he respectfully said: "Your Majesty's praise is ridiculous, and I am terrified."

"King Lu's health is not good, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand for a long time, show him a seat and give him tea."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, how can I afford Your Majesty's love."

Even though Chu Yulu said so, he sat down unceremoniously on the chair brought by the maid, and Shuangxi hurriedly made new tea and bent down to serve it.

When Shuangxi passed by, Chu Yuzhao said: "That cup of tea is hot to your hands, and I sent this cup of tea to King Lu. It has just been brewed not long ago, and it hasn't touched my lips yet."

"Yes." Shuangxi put the freshly brewed tea on the table in front of the throne, and picked up the tea that Chu Yuzhao started.

Holding the guard of honor fan in his hand, Luo Bai looked at the cup of tea he made for Chu Yuzhao and was taken away by Shuangxi to others. He felt lost and anxious, but he didn't dare to speak up, so he could only look at Chu Yuzhao's back with aggrieved eyes. .

Chu Yulu took the tea from Shuangxi, lifted the lid of the cup and lightly skimmed off the tea foam, and brought it to his mouth.

Luo Bai looked at him helplessly, and said in his heart, burn your mouth, you obviously made me unhappy just now, and you still want to drink the tea I made to burn your mouth.

Chu Yulu imported the tea, and his face instantly became very strange, with the tea in his mouth, he couldn't swallow it for a long time.

Luo Bai was overjoyed, he was indeed burned.

Chu Yulu only felt that he had never drank such bad tea in his life, and perhaps even Coptis chinensis water could not be compared.At least Coptis chinensis is purely bitter, but this one is bitter and salty, mixed with unspeakable fishy smell.The five flavors are mixed, and the taste is ecstasy.

He wanted to vomit out reflexively, but when he looked at Chu Yuzhao, he saw that he was staring at him with a smile that was not a smile, and his eyes seemed to be sarcasm or mockery, so he suddenly became vigilant and stopped the thought of vomit.

This is a provocation, a demonstration, and a temptation!

If I spit out this cup of imperial tea, what else is waiting for me?

Knowing that he was no longer the Prince Lu who could do whatever he wanted, Chu Yulu immediately calmed down his face, swallowed the tea as if nothing had happened, and took two more sips before handing the empty teacup to the palace man not far away .

The two Shangshu Cheng and Li were still kneeling on the ground, Chu Yuzhao finally looked at the two of them with a majestic look on his face: "Cheng Shangshu, Li Shangshu, although the problem of rebuilding the dam has been solved, the dam collapsed before The accident still needs to be investigated, and it must be investigated to the end! I will send people to the two departments, and until the matter is thoroughly investigated, the two of you will stay at home and take care of yourselves."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this old minister...you are wronged..." Li Shangshu suddenly fell to the ground, covered his face with his sleeves and burst into tears.

Cheng Shangshu also wailed: "Xiandi, Xiandi, open your eyes and see, a subject who has been loyal to Dayin all his life, is humiliated like this... my late emperor..."

Some officials began to persuade, some sighed sadly at the death of the rabbit, and there was a commotion in the hall.

Luo Bai felt that the two old men were ignorant at all, they were crying even when they had a beard, and Chu Yuzhao would be angry and throw the teacup again, so he couldn't help but moved half a step to the side to see his side face.

Seen from this angle, Chu Yuzhao has a straight nose, deep eye sockets, and although his jaw line is tight, he doesn't look particularly angry.Luo Bai was also relieved, and just about to look away, when his gaze fell on his hand on his lap, he suddenly stopped.

The hand was trembling, and it was tightly clenched into a fist, the knuckles were white, and the back of the hand was bulging with blue veins.

Luo Bai looked at his face again, and saw that his expression was still normal, but his face was even paler, and there were a few drops of sweat dripping from his forehead.

What's the matter, pretty brother?

Eunuch Cheng, who had been standing silently beside the throne, also glanced at Chu Yuzhao at this time, and after seeing his abnormal state, he took a half step forward calmly: "Your Majesty is going to retreat?"

"Back." Chu Yuzhao squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

Eunuch Cheng flicked the whisk in his hand, and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty has an order, retreat!"

The two ministers, Cheng and Li, were wailing with all their might, when they suddenly heard that the emperor was retreating, they were both taken aback for a moment, and then they became even more violent, trying to slam into the pillar, and were grabbed by the people around them.

Chu Yulu sighed beside him, pretending to feel empathy, while Chu Yu, after hearing the word retreat, walked out holding the wat board, as if he was afraid to stay in the hall for a moment longer.

Chu Yuzhao didn't say much, stood up and walked towards the inner hall, his steps were fast but steady, Eunuch Cheng seemed to want to reach out to help, but stopped his hand in time, and hurriedly followed behind.

Luo Bai didn't know what happened to Chu Yuzhao, so he followed behind with his fan of ceremonies on his shoulders.Chu Yuzhao quickly entered the aisle. When Luo Bai passed the gauze curtain, he saw Shuangxi standing beside him bent over, and hurriedly handed the guard of honor fan in his hand to his eyes: "Here."

Shuangxi took over the ceremonial fan without knowing why, and Luo Bai quickly chased after him with his long gown.It wasn't until his back disappeared around the corner that Shuangxi came back to his senses, looked at the fan in his hand, wanted to throw it away but didn't dare, his face was deformed.

Really pissed off.

Chu Yuzhao's footsteps were fast, the sleeves of his black robe fluttered, and the beaded curtains of his crown collided with each other.Eunuch Cheng and several servants followed closely behind, all of them with serious expressions.

Luo Bai trotted to the back, and the court ladies and eunuchs he met along the way all stood with their heads bowed, no one noticed him, and followed him all the way to the outside of the bedroom.

"You all retreat, and none of you are allowed to stay." Chu Yuzhao quickly stepped across the gate of the palace, and while walking, he tore off the crown on his head and threw it aside, and was caught by the quick-eyed little servant.

"Your Majesty, let this old slave stay with you." Eunuch Cheng was getting old and a little out of breath.

Chu Yuzhao's body swayed suddenly, and Eunuch Cheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, but he pushed him away, with a bit of suppressed irritability in his words: "Go away, don't let anyone stay."

"Get out, servants, get out now."

Eunuch Cheng drove away a group of servants behind him. The servants were already terrified, and immediately bowed back, but Luo Bai, who had been chasing at the end, was not on guard, and was bumped into by someone. Hold on to the door frame to stand firm.

The servants were like a flock of panicked birds, and retreated in an instant. Luo Bai was about to go out, when he heard Chu Yuzhao angrily shouted: "You also go quickly."

"Your Majesty, let the old slave stay and guard you, the old slave is worried that you will hurt yourself—"

"roll!"

Chu Yuzhao yelled loudly, so frightened that Luo Bai in the next room didn't dare to move, he shrank behind the door, only showing his eyes to look out from the crack of the door.Seeing Eunuch Cheng wiping his eyes with his palms while walking back, the sound of his footsteps gradually disappeared.

The hall returned to silence, Luo Bai could only hear Chu Yuzhao's heavy breathing outside, which seemed to be in pain.He wanted to go out and have a look, but he was afraid of being chased away by Chu Yuzhao, so he stood in a tangled place, digging the door frame in front of him with his fingers.

Boom!

Some vases and other utensils fell to the ground, and at the same time, it seemed that someone had fallen and hit the floor with a heavy muffled sound.

Luo Bai couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately went out of the house, and as soon as he ran to the gate of the hall, he stopped slowly.

Chu Yuzhao stood up holding the door of the palace, and looked over after hearing footsteps.His already pale face now lacked even a trace of blood, but the fundus of his eyes was filled with scarlet, and his eyes were dark and vicious, rolling with violent and stormy waves.

Luo Bai stood there helplessly, muttering: "Brother, brother, Your Majesty..."

Chu Yuzhao came out step by step, slowly stretching out his fangs like some kind of large beast moving around.

The little leopard in Luo Bai's heart had shrunk into a ball, trembling while holding his paws, but still stood firmly in place.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I..."

Chu Yuzhao walked up to him and stood still, slowly stretched out his hand, strangled Luo Bai's neck, and asked hoarsely, "Are you looking for death?"
