As soon as Nie Zhen finished speaking, the hall was instantly silent.

Before the other party uttered the last sentence, Zhu Ming had already kneeled to the center of the hall, kowtowing continuously, his forehead turned red.

He wanted to defend himself, but for some reason, after seeing Prince Rui's indifferent gaze, he felt breathless. The overwhelming fear swept through his mind like a gangrene, and he couldn't think of anything for a while. Only the scene of Master's throat being cut by Prince Rui, who was only 14 years old more than ten years ago, lingered for a long time.

The emperor looked at the national teacher who kept kowtowing solemnly, and he also thought of the prophecy made by the old national teacher ten years ago. What Prince Rui said was indeed true. Even though he was the emperor, he still hated such vicious prophecies.

After all, if it weren't for that prophecy, his imperial brother would not have invited himself to fight against the barbarians at a young age, not to mention that it was difficult to return to his family, and his temperament had also changed drastically in those few years.Unfortunately, he was busy with state affairs and separated from his younger brother by two places, so he failed to discover Prince Rui's anomaly in time, so that now Prince Rui turned into another person at night, and even the genius doctor was helpless about it.

As soon as Concubine Yu saw the emperor's ugly face, she knew that the other party remembered about Prince Rui, she immediately stood up and walked to the emperor's side, gently patted the man's chest, and said softly, "Your Majesty, why are you thinking too much, Rui?" It was just a moment of anger from the king, why did you take it seriously? He has always been kind-hearted, when he saw the kitten was young and weak, he naturally felt pity, so he defended him. Didn't you see that Prince Rui was not angry at all? It's just a joke with the national teacher. Don't get angry about it."

Seeing the emperor's expression softened, Concubine Yu hit the iron while it was still hot: "The national teacher has been loyal all these years. Although he speaks straightforwardly and doesn't avoid taboos, his heart is always good. You see, he didn't make such a move because he was worried that your majesty and his concubines would be implicated by black cats." Prophecy?"

The emperor's face softened a little when he heard this. After all, Concubine Yu is his favorite woman. Even if he speaks a little out of line, he is willing to pamper her. It doesn't hurt to give face, so he smiled and said:

"Since Prince Rui was joking, the national teacher should get up, but today's prophecy offended Prince Rui after all, the palace banquet is over today, the national teacher should go back to the mansion to reflect on himself for a month, and don't make random predictions in the future."

Seeing this, Zhu Ming hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, not daring to look at Prince Rui again, and directly retreated to his seat.

Nie Zhen watched Concubine Yu and Zhu Ming's performance with a half-smile from beginning to end, especially when Concubine Yu spoke out in favor of the national teacher, the smile on his mouth faded a little.

Concubine Yu, who was seated above, happened to meet his cold gaze when she accidentally looked over, she was so startled that the handkerchief in her hand fell off, she quickly looked away and talked with the emperor with a charming smile.

Nie Zhen lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then raised his head, walked straight to the front of the imperial steward, and said in a low voice:

"Brother Huang, since this cat is carrying an ominous sign, why not let me take it back to the palace? After all these years have passed, it doesn't matter to me, and it doesn't matter if I bring more cats. Besides, this cat looks stupid. Well-behaved, my younger brother also likes it very much."

Little Luomo raised his head quietly when Nie Zhen's voice sounded, and secretly looked at the hall with his round eyes open. After catching the man's figure, he sat up in peace, and obediently lowered his head and licked his hair while listening. Nie Zhen hated the national teacher, not to mention how happy he was.

He said he would come to see it at night, and he really came.

The system looked at the kitten Deser with hatred, and said with a headache: "I said my cat ancestor, why are you so happy that Prince Rui is beating Zhu Ming? If he doesn't show up, Zhu Ming will take you back to the National Teacher's Mansion , it’s so convenient to do the next task, you’re lucky, you don’t want to take the shortcut, but you choose the hardest path, you want Zhu Ming to be beaten all over the place by Nie Zhen, right?”

Xiao Luomo was taken aback by what the system said, and replied in a daze: "How do you know I'm thinking about this?"

"..." The system was so shocked by its honesty that a mouthful of old blood choked in its throat. After a few seconds, it had no choice but to remember that it had neither a throat nor blood, so it could only sigh, "Okay, I should have thought that you were not good to Prince Rui. In general, Zhu Ming is also a fool, what are you doing so insidiously when you have nothing to do, scaring away the good luck in vain. Forget it, if you want to go to Prince Rui's Mansion, you can figure out the next task yourself, don't have any more accidents, understand ?"

"Understood." Xiao Luomo nodded, watched the system run back to the consciousness space to sing again, and then watched Nie Zhen speak seriously.

At this moment Nie Zhen came over and said that he would take it home. The kitten was so happy that its tail was up. It was sticking to the cage, and its beautiful cat pupils looked at the man's face without blinking, obediently. It looks a little pitiful.

Nie Zhen lowered his head and looked at it, his eyes were deep and gentle, and he said softly: "Are you scared? Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Little Luomo listened to his gentle comfort, and nodded his little head with nostalgia, but the next moment it tilted its head in doubt, seeing the man's strange smile, its upturned tail slowly retracted, chubby The body moved back without a trace.

"Meow meow, are you Nie Zhen?" Xiao Luomo called a few times in a daze.

It always feels that the Nie Zhen in front of him is different from the one in the daytime... Although he looks more gentle and amiable, and the breath on his body has not changed, but it is also more dangerous.

Nie Zhen noticed the kitten's shrinking and fearful movements, and suddenly remembered the intimacy between another "self" and the kitten during the day. The cat at that time was not what it is now.

He lowered his eyes and smiled softly, he was really handsome and handsome like a god, but the smile never reached his eyes.

Nie Zhen straightened up and said lightly: "This cat doesn't seem to like me very much. If so, let Concubine Yu take care of it." After speaking, she turned and returned to her seat without hesitation. He pours wine.

The emperor glanced at Prince Rui in surprise, thinking that his younger brother's actions tonight were capricious, it was really not like his usual style.However, Nie Zhen didn't want a cat, and the emperor couldn't force him to give it to him, so he had to order: "Send this holy cat to the imperial hospital for treatment by the imperial physicians, and send it back to Concubine Yu after making sure there is no hidden disease."

Little Luomo was still amazed by Nie Zhen's change, but he didn't expect that the man would not want him any more, and the emperor would send him to Concubine Yu to raise him. He remembered that Concubine Yu kept a dog beside her.

It immediately circled around in the cage anxiously, meowing at Nie Zhen while pushing its small head against the door of the cage, rubbing against the top of its head until it hurt a little, but the others were too busy enjoying the palace feast to care about a cat at all .

It stretched its head to look at Nie Zhen in a panic, and saw the man bowing his head to taste the wine, and a strange girl was standing beside him pouring wine for him. She was dressed luxuriously, and she didn't look like a maid. The girl looked excited, as if she was having a good time talking about something.

The kitten yelped a few more times in the direction of the man. Seeing that the other party really ignored it, it sat down in the cage with no strength. It was hungry and tired, and it hung its head and slowly licked its fur and tears. It fell down and wet the fluff on the legs.

Nie Zhen had been sitting on the other side drinking, but out of the corner of his eye, he kept paying attention to the movement in the cage. Seeing that the kitten suddenly stopped moving and was hanging its head in the cage, he suddenly put down the wine glass.

The cold and indifferent expression gradually became calm and unpredictable, and his deep eyes were fixed on the cage. Li Wan, the daughter of the prime minister next to him, was surprised by his change, and stopped talking for a while.

Xiao Luomo licked his fur with his head down, getting slower and slower, and finally stopped moving.It remembered that Nie Zhen still held it in his arms to sleep and fed it during the day, and he didn't understand why he was a different person at night.

The Holy Maiden sat in the back and was still hesitating whether to go up to talk to Prince Rui, and she stood up and walked to the man's seat after she had made enough mental preparations, but she stopped suddenly after taking two steps.

The man who was still holding a glass of wine elegantly in his seat a second ago had already left his seat and came to the cage where the kitten was kept.

He stared down at the cage, stretched out his hand to take the dagger/knife from the dark guard, cut the lock on the cage with just one swipe, and then stretched out his hand to carefully lift the kitten out.

The soft and hot little body is nestled in the palm, and the fluff on the legs even feels a little wet when the fingers touch it, which is exactly the same as the touch during the day, fresh and soft.

The kitten was carried out suddenly, and raised its head in a daze. Seeing that it was Nie Zhen, it just stared blankly at the still steamy pupils, and meowed softly and slowly.

It is asking: "Are you Nie Zhen?"

The man didn't understand, so he just stretched out his finger, and gently rubbed its forehead as if touching it during the day, and asked in a soft voice, "Are you still afraid of me?" With a dark expression, "I'm afraid I won't have the chance to run away now."

Xiao Luomo looked at Nie Zhen's smile blankly, felt the same warmth from the man as in the daytime, immediately raised his head and meowed twice miserably, and wrapped his tail around the other's wrist dependently.

Its little cat's head was buried in Nie Zhen's hand and rubbed hard, as if it wanted to vent the panic of being left behind, its mouth opened, and its sharp teeth bit hard on the tiger's mouth. Looking up at the other party, it still smiled gently It didn't want to leave it alone, and it didn't mean to leave it alone, so it was so wronged that it started to cry.

The soft voice knocked on his heart one after another, and there was a dense pain, which was obviously reluctance and distress, but Nie Zhen narrowed his narrow eyes slightly as if enjoying himself, and the deep and unpredictable desire/thought was in the deep eyes It swelled, but no one noticed.

He gently touched the kitten's back, and there was a little satisfaction hidden in his gentle eyes.

The emperor and Concubine Yu had already noticed the movement here, and looked over as if asking, Nie Zhen turned to greet the emperor, threw the dagger/knife back to the guard, and left without looking back with the cat in his arms left the hall.
