Where there is oppression, there is resistance. The young eunuch risked his life by doing rude things to the queen.

They kept making trouble until midnight before finally calling it quits.

His Majesty the Emperor changed back into his bright yellow pajamas and held Nian Tu, who was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes, tightly in his arms, with a satisfied look on his face.

After being a bold and madman, he felt that all his bones were stretched as never before, and he was so energetic that he seemed able to review hundreds of memorials overnight.

But since he is here every year, he won't be so desperate as to review memorials!

The night watch has already struck midnight.

The lights were still on in the Zhenguo Mansion, and the whole courtyard was brightly lit. Aaron stood by the window with mixed feelings, and reminded softly, "Master, it's time to rest."

no respond.

Zong Shouyuan remained silent as if he didn't hear his voice. He sat beside the bed with his eyes lowered, repeatedly wiping the sharp sword in his hand.

After wiping it for who knows how many times, he finally threw away the handkerchief, flicked his wrist, and the warm yellow candlelight reflected on the sword edge, reflecting a dazzling cold light.

"...Master," Aaron trembled a little.

calm down……

Even if you are angry, you can't kill the king, right? !

In the blink of an eye, Zong Shouyuan put the sword back into the scabbard and blew out the candle.

He lowered his head slightly, hiding in the darkness so that no one could see his expression, and lay down on the bed with his clothes on.

Seeing this, Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been in his throat, fell back to its original place.

The master is finally going to rest.

He also found a place to rest and fell asleep soon after. Little did he know that Zong Shouyuan on the bed was not sleepy at all. With his red eyes open, he held the sachet embroidered with a gray wolf in his palm and stroked it continuously until dawn.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the scenes of the wedding came back to him vividly. He could clearly recall the hateful expression he had shown when he was cold and perfunctory to Nian Tu.

She never cared about the shortcomings of the wedding ceremony, forgave his neglect and scrutiny, and took gentle care of him despite his lame leg. However, he just pretended to be indifferent and put on a dead face, not even saying a nice word...

The more he recalled, the more vivid the details became. Zong Shouyuan felt angry and regretful. He wished he could go back to the past, pull out his newly sharpened sword, and stab himself to death with one blow.

After tossing and turning all night, at dawn, after a few rooster crows, General Zong, with dark circles under his eyes, got up and quietly left the house.

Even Aaron, who was alert, didn't know when his master went out. It was not until he saw his master, covered in dew and dust, coming back from outside that he rubbed his eyes in surprise, "Where have you been so early in the morning? Is this... a puppy?"

A gray, furry head popped out from between the man's arms and bared its teeth at Aaron.

This little thing, barely the size of a palm, can actually look quite ferocious.

"It's not a puppy," Zong Shouyuan said expressionlessly, stretching out two fingers to pinch the back of its neck, "It's a wolf cub."

He wandered around in the mountains for a long time, found several packs of wild wolves, and after selecting for a long time, he finally picked out this little gray-haired one with the best appearance and the most well-behaved look, and captured it from the wolf den.

But a wolf is a wolf after all, it is wild and hard to tame, and full of aggressiveness in its bones. It had been relatively honest and obedient along the way just now, but now its true colors are showing.

Zong Shouyuan rubbed his brows with a headache, thinking that his mind was not clear because he stayed up late.

How could such a wolf cub be given to Nian Nian as a gift? What if he hurt her?

After pondering for a while, he whispered to Aaron, "Go find some people who are good at dog training."

Now that we have caught him, we have to give it a try.

The little wolf shook its ears vigorously and howled fiercely, not knowing what was about to happen to it.

……

After several big and small snowfalls, the end of the year is approaching.

Since being tricked into the palace, Nian Tu has been tripped by the clingy little cat. He tried to leave the palace several times and returned home, but he could not resist the little white cat's rolling around and playing tricks, so he could only nod and agree to stay for two more days. This stay lasted intermittently until the end of the year.

As usual, Tan Konglin, as the emperor, had to go to the Puzhao Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to worship the gods and ancestors and pray for peace in the world.

Nian Tu wanted to take the opportunity to say goodbye, but the kitten hooked her skirt and refused to let her go, rubbing her with its soft belly, trying its best to seduce her. Nian Tu's will was not strong enough in front of the fluffy cat, and the two of them finally got on the carriage to the suburbs of Beijing.

The pagoda is solemn and majestic, located on a towering mountain. It is a pure place for Buddhism.

As soon as he stepped into this land and heard the vast sound of the bell, Nian Tu was immediately filled with respect. When facing the abbot, elders and several monks who came to receive the holy emperor, he even felt a little guilty.

Although her identity has not been made public, many well-informed people know it, at least the few people in front of us should be insiders.

I wonder what the senior monks think of her... Do they think she is a disaster who seduces the monarch... ?

Nian Tu was very nervous and hesitated for a long time before he dared to raise his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the abbot's attitude was extremely kind. He smiled and clasped his hands together as he bowed to her, just like an ordinary kind-hearted old man meeting a favorite younger generation. He had no prejudice against her.

"Don't worry too much, don't think too much," he suddenly said to comfort her, and said meaningfully, "Just let everything go with the flow."

Then, he whispered a few Buddhist words which Nian Tu could not understand, and left with a few elders with a smile. They came and went in a hurry, and did not even stay for long because of the visit of the Emperor himself.

Nian Tu was full of doubts. As he watched several old figures go away, he felt much more relaxed.

The sacrifice will last for several days, during which time the group will temporarily stay in the temple. No matter how much Tan Konglin thought, he couldn't live with Nian Tu in such a solemn occasion, so he had to settle for the next best thing and arrange her next to him.

Some skillful palace servants helped Nian Tu pack his luggage and sleep. Nian Tu couldn't help and felt that he was in the way and unnecessary.

She stood by the window, looked out for a while, put on her cloak, and decided to go out for a walk.

A team of Yulin Guards stood behind her not too far away, and were on high alert.

Nian Tu was in a very relaxed mood.

The mouth of the previous assassin has been pried open, and the mastermind has been executed, and the rest of the people involved in the case have been imprisoned. This serves as a warning to the others, and the rest of the forces with restless thoughts will temporarily restrain their hands and feet and dare not make any big noise for a while.

If there was danger in this sacrifice, Tan Konglin would never have pestered her to come with him.

Just as I was relaxing and relaxing, not far away, a gray "little stone" suddenly moved, and a rustling sound came from it.

Nian Tu: “…”

The slap in the face came so quickly? ?

She stood up straight with a serious look on her face. The imperial guards became even more nervous, holding their weapons in their hands cautiously.

Several gazes converged into one focus.

Nian Tu narrowed his eyes, looked carefully for two seconds, and finally saw the true appearance of the thing.
