When he heard the news that Zong Shouyuan was going to remarry Nian Tu, he could no longer sit still and rushed over without stopping.

Thinking that the loophole he had taken was about to be taken, the little white cat became anxious and paced around Nian Tu.

Since they met and lived together for many years, Nian Tu had hardly ever seen him so unstable. She found it very strange and secretly admired him for a long time before she held him in her arms and stroked his fur soothingly.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor is young, a teenage boy, and cannot restrain his emotions.

Nian Tu kissed his furry face, making the little kitten feel dizzy and ecstatic, but then she calmly rejected his request, "No."

"My status is not suitable for entering the palace. It will give people something to talk about."

It is not a nice thing to say that a king takes his minister's wife, and it will not be good for the three of them if it gets out.

It was just right to stay in this state. Kong Lin's beast form was also very suitable for sneaking into the Duke's Mansion and having an affair with her from time to time.

Tan Konglin was not satisfied.

Who would be willing to be small when there is an opportunity to become big?

However, Nian Tu's heart was as hard as a rock. No matter how much he begged and coaxed her, she just refused to agree.

After being rejected several times, the little white cat curled up dejectedly on Nian Tu's lap, as if it had lost all its strength and means.

"Be good," Nian Tu could not help but feel distressed even though he knew that this was a little green tea cat with perfect acting skills, and coaxed her gently, "Consider the overall situation."

If Tan Konglin's throne was secure and there were no internal or external troubles, she wouldn't mind his reputation and could follow him into the palace.

But the matter of Prince Bao has not been settled yet, and there are enemies eyeing the throne. She does not want her partners to become infamous because of fighting for her, and be accused of being incompetent and losing the support of the people.

Nian Tu persuaded him with emotion and reason, and spent some time with the emperor who had turned back into human form. She tried her best to persuade him to give up the idea of ​​taking her into the palace.

The cat that had stolen the fish was craving for the taste of meat, and from then on it went in and out of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion more frequently, as if it wanted to compensate for the grievance of having no status in another way.

Zong Shouyuan naturally noticed those undisguised traces.

The two hot-blooded men began to fight violently, treating Nian Tu as a battlefield, and both wanted to prove to her that they were stronger than the other.

Nian Tu suffered greatly from it.

She was even a little scared, and her legs went weak unconsciously when she heard the familiar meow coming from outside the window.

early morning.

There was a little snow in the sky, fluttering in the air, creating a cool white. A thin layer of snow accumulated on the ground, and the maids were cleaning the courtyard while chatting quietly, breathing out clouds of mist as they talked and laughed.

It was not until around noon that the snow gradually stopped. When they heard noises coming from inside the house, several maids put down their work and shouted, "Madam is awake!"

They helped Nian Tu wash and brush her teeth, combing her hair into a bun. She still felt a little dizzy.

She slept so late today.

She felt uncomfortable without the kitten waking her up outside the window.

"Not coming?"

When she asked this, the maids also felt strange, "No, he didn't come. Maybe it's because it snowed."

This reason is really untenable. After all, the clingy raccoon came to see the lady every day regardless of wind or snow. How could a little snow be an obstacle?

But other than that, they couldn't think of any other reason.

Without the purring sound of a kitten as a side dish, Nian Tu could not concentrate on his meal.

When she was looking at the account book, she was a little distracted. She stared at a number for a long time and didn't even notice that the ink had soaked the paper.

After working very inefficiently for a while, she sighed, put down the account book, rubbed her brows, and decided to go out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of the room, someone came to tell her that someone had come from the palace. Eunuch Shunxi, who served the emperor personally, wanted to see her and was waiting in the front yard.

Nian Tu was slightly startled.

After being secretly together with Tan Konglin for so many days, this is the first time they have communicated through formal channels.

She didn't want to keep the kitten waiting too long, so she changed into clothes suitable for meeting guests and headed straight to the front yard. As expected, she saw Shunxi, but not the familiar little white cat.

There was no one else in the front yard, and it seemed that everyone had been cleared out. Shunxi, dressed in the clothes of a palace eunuch, stood there in a proper manner, talking to A Long. When he saw Nian Tu, he immediately bowed and greeted him.

"Madam," he knelt on the ground, his face showing grief and anger, "Your Majesty was assassinated last night..."

!!!

Nian Tu's pupils suddenly shrank and his heart started beating wildly.

Assassinated?!

Just two words made Nian Tu's eyes go dark and she could hardly stand. She didn't care about her image and quickly stepped forward to grab Shunxi and interrogate him, "How is he? Where is he injured? He..."

"Calm down! Madam, calm down!" Shunxi was startled by her and hurriedly supported her shaky body. "Your Majesty is not seriously injured. It's nothing serious."

His Majesty is a man of both civil and military skills, and was very agile. The assassins were subdued by His Majesty's counterattack before the imperial guards could even take action. One of the assassins was killed on the spot, and the rest of the accomplices failed to commit suicide, and are currently interrogating the mastermind behind the scenes.

Tan Konglin dealt with these people personally. He could not be said to be unscathed, but he only had a small wound half an inch long on his left arm.

Of course, Shunxi couldn't tell Nian Tu the whole truth.

He received the order from His Majesty to bring Nian Tu into the palace. He fully processed the assassination with exaggerated techniques and vivid language, describing the process of His Majesty's fight with the assassin in a thrilling way.

Nian Tu's heart was in his throat and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Even Aaron was frightened, his face turned ugly, "These bold traitors! I will report to the master right away!"

"......" Shunxi secretly wiped his sweat, "Yes, I should inform General Zong."

Although the assassin has been caught, the matter is not over yet. To find out the mastermind behind the scenes, the young general of your majesty's clan must make careful plans.

But he didn't come here for this.

"The assassins have disturbed your majesty, causing you to be unable to sleep at night," Shunxi kowtowed, "so I dare to ask Madam to come to the palace."

Aaron's mind suddenly calmed down, "..."

He said something was wrong. His Majesty was assassinated, but he did not inform the master first, but came to see the lady instead. It was indeed not right.

If you feel unwell, go find a physician. Madam can’t cure any illness!

Nian Tu didn't think too much about it and agreed directly, "Okay, let's go."

She was completely occupied by worry, and her mind was filled with the tearful and pitiful appearance of the little white cat. She even forgot to pack her luggage and walked hurriedly, even faster than Shunxi.

Shunxi trotted after her, barely keeping up with the pace. When he reached the carriage and was about to kneel down to let Nian Tu step on him to get in, Nian Tu had already climbed up by herself using her hands and feet.

"...This, alas," Shunxi was a step late and could only smile awkwardly.

If the lady found out that she had been deceived, what would happen to His Majesty? He did not dare to think about it, but only prayed in his heart that she would not be angry with him, because he was too old to bear it.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is highly respected and trusted by the emperor, and the imperial mansion is very close to the imperial palace. However, Nian Tu is worried about his partner, and his heart is restless as if it has weeds growing on it. He thinks the road is too far and the carriage is too slow.

Once you enter the imperial city, you have to change to a sedan chair. The carriage stopped, Nian Tu opened the curtain and was about to jump out of the carriage, but when he saw the person kneeling on the ground in front of him, he was stunned for a moment.
