"Black cat?" The twelfth prince thought for a moment and shook his head, "I didn't see it."

"So do you like playing with kittens?"

The twelfth prince nodded, then shook his head, "I have only seen a cat once, it was so cute and fluffy, but my mother wouldn't let me touch it, so I haven't seen one since."

Chu Yunxi thought for a moment, "When and where did you see the cat?"

The twelfth prince scratched his head and said, "I don't know when. I saw it in Fengyi Palace. Someone brought it here and then took it away."

Someone brought a cat to Fengyi Palace, and then took it away? Chu Yunxi couldn't figure it out. Was it because they were afraid that the twelfth prince would bring cat hair to Yongshou Palace that they didn't allow him to play with the cat?

Chu Yunxi put a question mark in her mind, and then asked: "Do you like to come and play with Grandfather Huang?"

The twelfth prince nodded and said, "Grandfather has delicious food here. He also tells me many stories about wars. I like to come and play here."

After hearing the twelfth prince's innocent words, the emperor was delighted from the bottom of his heart, with a smile on his face, "Heshun, go get some snacks for the twelfth prince. This child has such a sweet mouth, just like the eighth prince when he was a child."

Chu Yunxi glanced at Xiao Mubei and said with a smile, "Did Your Majesty also like to come and play with Grandfather Huang when he was a child?"

"Not only does he love to come and play, he even wants to live in Yongshou Palace every day," the retired emperor recalled Xiao Mubei's childhood and couldn't help but smile even more. "When he was very young, he pestered me to tell him stories. Later, he pestered me to teach him the art of war and asked Xiao Shan to teach him kung fu. In short, he stayed in Yongshou Palace and couldn't be driven away. Concubine Xian didn't come to call him, so she just let him spend his days here."

"Empress Xian knows that the prince can learn more from his grandfather." Chu Yunxi also said with a smile, and handed the Lego in her hand to the twelfth prince who had been staring at it eagerly for a long time, "Here, take it and play."

Yeah! The twelfth prince jumped three feet high and happily ran to the emperor to show off.

The emperor took the Lego and looked at it, then said, "Why aren't you wearing the bells on your feet today? They don't ring when you're running."

The twelfth prince said while playing with Lego: "My mother took it off for me before I came here, saying that my grandfather needed to rest and not disturb him."

The retired emperor seemed to be very interested in Lego. After asking, he did not care what the twelfth prince said. The two of them happily discussed what they were going to build.

Chu Yunxi laughed. She didn't expect that the emperor was also like a child. No wonder Xiao Mubei and the twelfth prince liked to come to Yongshou Palace to play.

As she was laughing, Chu Yunxi suddenly felt that something was wrong. She thought about it carefully, took two steps forward and asked, "Grandfather, are you saying that people wore bells on their feet before they were twelve years old? How long have they been wearing them?"

The emperor thought for a while while holding the Lego, "It's been more than a year, so what happened?"

Chu Yunxi felt that something was not right, but she didn't know what was wrong, so she said, "It's okay, I may need to verify some things. Grandfather, let's stop here today. The Eighth Prince and I will leave the palace first."

When the emperor heard her say that everything was fine, he immediately lowered his head to play with Lego again, and said without raising his head: "Okay, you guys go back first. It doesn't matter if we can't find out the truth for a while, don't worry."

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi responded in unison, said goodbye to Gong Gong and left. When they walked out of the bedroom, they saw Nanny Huang stretching her neck to look inside, with an anxious look and a frown on her face.

Chu Yunxi asked, "Madame Huang, what's wrong with you?"

When Nanny Huang saw Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi coming out, she immediately regained her normal expression and replied respectfully, "Princess Eighth, I am fine. I am just worried that the twelfth prince may not have slept well and disturb the emperor."

Xiao Mubei said calmly: "Twelfth brother is very well behaved. He is playing inside with Grandfather Huang now. You can go in."

Huang Mama immediately responded and went in. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi walked out. Chu Yunxi whispered, "Why do I feel like this Huang Mama has something up her mind?"

"I also think she's a little strange." Xiao Mubei recalled her expression just now, which was indeed a little suspicious. "By the way, did you find anything today?"

"I don't know yet, Your Majesty. When we get back to the Dali Temple, please find me someone who knows about pets. I have some questions to ask."

"it is good."

After returning to the Dali Temple, Xiao Mubei ordered people to find someone who knew about pets, and called Li Jinghong to arrange for the three-court trial.

When Li Jinghong heard that the case of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion was to be retried, he was stunned and whispered, "So, the case of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion was really a wrongful conviction?"

"The evidence is irrefutable. This is indeed a false accusation." Xiao Mubei said in a deep voice, "I was on the battlefield at the time, with the Loyal and Brave Marquis. I am also a witness who can prove that the Loyal and Brave Marquis did not surrender to the enemy. The so-called evidence of surrender to the enemy was fabricated by someone with ulterior motives."

Li Jinghong was stunned. Chu Yunxi took out the evidence one by one and presented it in front of him. After reading it, he said angrily: "Prince Jingyuan is simply lawless. In order to gain power, he would do anything to achieve his goal. He even dared to do such things as collusion with the enemy, treason, and framing loyal officials!"

"Does Li Shaoqing dare to present these to His Majesty?" Chu Yunxi's eyes were burning.

Li Jinghong understood that these things were not suitable for Xiao Mubei to do. If he produced the evidence, he would be criticized by people with ulterior motives and be branded as a fratricide.

In this case, as the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, he has no reason to refuse and fight against traitors for the country.

"I dare, even if it costs my life. As long as I can overturn the verdict of Marquis Zhongyong and clear the name of countless heroes, it will be worth it." Li Jinghong said with great pride.

Xiao Mubei smiled and patted Li Jinghong on the shoulder. "Don't worry, your life won't be in danger. Just go to the three courts for trial and present the evidence. I will take care of the rest."

Someone outside came to report that someone who knew about pets had arrived. Chu Yunxi asked someone to bring the person to the study. After Xiao Mubei finished explaining things to Li Jinghong, the two of them went back to the study to meet the person.

This is a middle-aged man named Xie Fei. According to the constable, he runs a pet business in the market. This is the capital city, so there are ladies and girls from wealthy families who keep cats and dogs when they have nothing to do, so this business is pretty good.

Xie Fei has been in this business for almost ten years and has grown up with these pets since childhood.

Chu Yunxi got straight to the point and said, "Boss Xie, I want to know, if you train a cat, and let it go wherever you want it to go, is there any way to do it?"

Xie Fei was summoned to the Dali Temple for the first time, and he was obviously a little nervous. He swallowed and said, "There are many ways. The simplest one is to use the cat's favorite food to attract it, or use its favorite toys, or use its favorite sounds. No matter which method you use, as long as the cat comes in time, give it a reward. With repeated training, the cat will be able to master the rules and know where the owner wants it to go."
