The black cat that hung upside down from the ceiling of the bedroom last night left a deep psychological shadow on Li Jinyu.

The cat's whole body was pitch-black without any stray hairs, its pupils were yellow-green, and its aura was extremely scary!

And laugh!

Definitely not an ordinary cat!

...Even normal cats are scary!

Li Jinyu carefully recalled the original work, and made sure that there was no mention of a laughing black cat in the palace; Emperor Jingchang had a bad temper, and no pet could survive in his hands.

And the chill that appeared with the cat was exactly what forced him to go to Huo Caiyu's side to avoid it!

What the hell is that cat?Is it a cat spirit, or the embodiment of resentment?

Li Jinyu felt terrified at the thought of living in the same place with a cat.

Although his body is a hamster and not a mouse, and he is now a human body many times bigger than a cat, the fear engraved in his bones still makes him restless.

Huo Caiyu broke in first last night, and Chang Kang wandered outside for a while, and when he came in, he had already missed Li Jinyu's voice calling "cat", so he naturally didn't know that His Majesty was scared sick by cats.

Hearing Li Jinyu's order now, Chang Kang murmured in his heart: I never heard that His Majesty loves cats before, why is he suddenly interested in cats?

Of course, you still have to agree quickly.

"By the way, give Huo Caiyu another plate of melon seeds." Li Jinyu recalled the stalwart image of Huo Caiyu who fell from the sky and saved his life yesterday when his liver and gallbladder were torn apart. His heart was filled with gratitude again, and he decided to give away his favorite things, " Reward him for his timely rescue last night."

Changkang didn't understand what a reward is a plate of melon seeds, so he had to answer: "Yes."

"Go check the cat!"

There are no secrets in the palace, let alone things like raising a cat that don't need to be hidden.

Soon, the statistics of the cats in each palace and courtyard were collected.

Under Huo Caiyu's teaching, Li Jinyu can barely read a lot of characters, and can roughly understand the booklet sent by Chang Kang.

Most of the concubines in the palace do not have high ranks, not even concubines. They may not be able to see the emperor for a few years, and their living conditions are naturally not very good.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so you can't afford to keep some small pets.

According to Li Jinyu, most of the high-ranking ones don't have pets, but the low-ranking ones keep some cats and dogs for companionship.

Maybe it's the loneliness in the deep palace, these little guys who don't understand human language but understand human nature can relieve the loneliness they see every day.

High-ranking concubines don't keep pets, probably because they are afraid that these cats and dogs don't understand the rules and offend His Majesty and hurt themselves.

Li Jinyu looked at the thin booklet, and confirmed again and again: "All the statistics are clear? There are no black cats?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, all the little pet lists in the palace are here."

The meaning of the black cat is unknown, even if ordinary people see it on the road, they will shout loudly and run away. How can a concubine be kept in the palace? Isn't this just asking for trouble for nothing?

Li Jinyu was slightly disappointed.

If the cat was raised by a concubine in the palace, he could still think of a way to get the cat out of the palace - he still has the identity of this tyrant for the time being!

But the black cat is not raised by humans, so it will be troublesome.This means that if he wants to solve this trouble, he can only find the black cat's clues by himself.

This realization made Li Jinyu dizzy for a while.

The cold air has already visited him several times, doesn't it mean that the black cat has already set his sights on him?

If he hadn't run fast and quickly found Huo Caiyu to take refuge, would he have been eaten by that cat now!

Woohoo!

Thinking of the bloody mouth of Mao Mao's head, Li Jinyu felt his whole body trembling.

Frightened, Li Jinyu decided to take a walk in the Imperial Garden.

Yesterday's experience left a little shadow in his heart-running on a roller will make him sweat, sweating will make him take a bath, and taking a bath will touch the cat...

He'd better go to the Royal Garden to calm down before going to run the roller.

……

As spring approached, the flowers and trees in the imperial garden became more vibrant day by day.After two days of absence, the flowers in the imperial garden bloomed more brilliantly, and the air was filled with the fragrance of all kinds of flowers, which made Li Jinyu feel particularly comfortable.

This kind of comfort didn't last long, and was soon broken by the sudden appearance of powdery fragrance.

From a long distance away, Li Jinyu's keen sense of smell detected the familiar smell of makeup and powder, and immediately frowned.

Sure enough, after a while, a well-dressed woman turned around from the corner. She was startled when she saw Li Jinyu, and leaned over intimately: "My concubine sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty hasn't seen you for a long time."

Li Jinyu took a step back, feeling a little baffled: "Concubine Xian, shouldn't you be under confinement? Why did you come out?"

Concubine Xian slightly brushed her hair, as if aggrieved: "How cruel is Your Majesty that he forbids the concubine's feet? The concubine is really boring to stay in the palace, so she wants to invite her family to the palace for a while; waiting at the gate of the palace before my uncle arrives, I wanted to take a walk in the imperial garden."

Chang Kang stood behind Li Jinyu, secretly surprised when he heard it.

Concubine Xian has been able to stay No. 1 in the harem for so long, she really is not an idle person.

First she begged coquettishly, and then inadvertently emphasized her biggest identity support - the prime minister's niece.

Even an ignorant man like Chang Kang knew that His Majesty had almost [-]% delegated power to Prime Minister Ye in the past, except that the military power was tightly held by General Meng, so he could almost be called an uncrowned emperor!

Concubine Xian is quietly using the prime minister to put pressure on His Majesty!

Chang Kang secretly looked up at Li Jinyu.

——How will His Majesty respond?

Li Jinyu didn't think so deeply at all.

He frowned, and looked Concubine Xian up and down with a look of "doubting your IQ": "The date I gave you is not here yet, who let you out? Go back soon! I'll see you next time." , I will ban you for one more month!"

Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, her eyes turned red, and she cried out aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, this concubine happened to get a little favor these two days and wanted to give it to His Majesty to enjoy, how could Your Majesty be so cruel!"

pet?

Li Jinyu had a bad feeling in his heart.

——The news about Concubine Xian has always been very well-informed. Just as he asked Chang Kang to inquire about the cats in the palace, he ran into Concubine Xian on the back foot. Could it be...

Concubine Xian let go of her cloud sleeves, and a yellow and white cat poked its head out, its ears moved slightly, and its big blue eyes looked at Li Jinyu curiously.

Li Jinyu froze instantly.

Before he could yell "drive it away", the kitten jumped out of Concubine Xian's arms and jumped directly onto his body. The cat's nose sniffed his dragon robe, and then "meow "Woo meow" cried out.

Li Jinyu lowered his head, just enough to have a panoramic view of the kitten's hunting eyes, ferocious mouth, and dangerous claws.

Li Jinyu: "..."

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that when a person is extremely frightened, the vocal cords will temporarily stop functioning.

In Li Jinyu's mind, his screams should have been so deafening that everyone in the palace fainted; in fact, in order to protect his vocal cords from being overused and burst directly, he didn't make any sound.

From the perspective of outsiders, their majesty now looked down at the cute kitten with a serious face, without blinking his eyes, as if he was addicted to sucking cats.

Concubine Xian was secretly delighted: Hearing the news from the maid, that His Majesty suddenly became interested in little pets, especially cats, so she immediately asked for one from other concubines, intending to come and invite His Majesty to pet him.

Looking at it now, this step is the right one!

The secret joy in Concubine Xian's heart hadn't fully rushed to her cheeks when she heard His Majesty ask majestically, "Did you find this guy on purpose?"

A soft smile suddenly appeared on Concubine Xian's face: "Yes..."

Li Jinyu pointed to the kitten hanging on him expressionlessly: "Take it away."

Concubine Xian was slightly taken aback.

"Take it."

When the kitten was picked off by the winking Chang Kang and sent back to Concubine Xian, Li Jinyu continued to announce with a blank expression: "Concubine Xian does not abide by the palace rules. She will be punished and banned for three months, and the monthly rules will be halved!"

Concubine Xian's eyes widened in disbelief: "Your Majesty? What did this concubine do wrong?"

Li Jinyu added, "Get out of the Imperial Garden immediately!"

When the guards politely "invited" the unwilling Concubine Xian out of the imperial garden, Li Jinyu kept his expression and walked to a gazebo, sat down at a stone table carved with a chess board, and then lay down on his head. on the table.

Chang Kang was taken aback: "Your Majesty?!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Jinyu waved his hand weakly, "I, I just have weak legs, just take it easy, take it easy..."

……

Concubine Xian took the cat back to the palace, and said bitterly: "I beat this little bastard to death!"

It actually caused her to be reprimanded by His Majesty again!

The monthly penalty is fine, she does not lack that monthly penalty; but not only is the grounding unresolved, it has even doubled!

The kitten had no idea of ​​its possible fate, and was licking its paw regretfully.

Just when the maid was about to lift the cat by the back of its neck, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the cat away.

Prime Minister Ye frowned, looked at the kitten in his hand with some distaste, turned to look at Concubine Xian, and reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "Whoever offends you, you just go to him, take a kitten to vent, is there any good for you! "

"Uncle!" Concubine Xian's eyes lit up when she saw Prime Minister Ye, she didn't care about the cat, she just stepped forward and acted like a baby, "My niece is looking for trouble, but that's His Majesty, how can my niece dare to be dissatisfied with His Majesty?"

"So what, Your Majesty?" Prime Minister Ye snorted, looked up and looked around Hexin Palace, "I see that life in your palace is going well, why do you want me to come?"

Concubine Xian curled her lips, beckoned the maid to watch tea, and turned to Prime Minister Ye to complain: "What's wrong with my niece? She's grounded and can't go out!"

"Isn't it great to be leisurely and prosperous in the palace?"

"My niece still wants to fly side by side with His Majesty, and then give His Majesty an heir!" Concubine Xian gritted her teeth thinking that she had been in the palace for so long, but she hadn't really been blessed by His Majesty, "Now Your Majesty is fascinated by a not-so-young man... "

"Huo Caiyu?" Prime Minister Ye put away his casual expression slightly, and gently scratched the kitten's chin with his fingers, "You came here for him?"

"It's business! Uncle has great power and supernatural powers, but there is a way..." Concubine Xian's eyes suddenly flashed a stern look, "Tell that male favorite to simply disappear?"

……

Hearing that His Majesty felt unwell when visiting the Imperial Garden, Huo Caiyu came to see it again.

Li Jinyu knew that Huo Caiyu was good at medicine, so he obediently handed his wrist to Huo Caiyu.

Huo Caiyu gave a slight pause with his fingers, then rested on Li Jin's remaining veins, felt for a long time before saying: "There is no serious problem, but Your Majesty should take care to rest."

Li Jinyu muttered dissatisfiedly: "I just went to relax, I never thought I would run into Concubine Xian..."

Huo Caiyu pursed his lips when he heard this name that he didn't like again, and frowned slightly: "Concubine Xian?"

"Yes, she still has the cat! The cat jumped on me!" Li Jinyu became excited when he mentioned the cat, and he didn't care about his image. "The cat is so big, so big!" ! It licks its tongue at me! It barks! It's horrible!"

Huo Caiyu looked at Li Jinyu's gestures with difficulty, and saw Li Jinyu's excited movements, for some reason, he wanted to laugh a little.

Who would have thought that the tyrant who was rumored to be more terrifying than Yan Luo would be so afraid of cats...

—— Such a majesty seems to be a little cute?

"Not long after I asked Chang Kang to investigate the cat in the palace, Concubine Xian came to me with the cat, do you think she did it on purpose!" Li Jinyu was still crying, "I want to demote her status! "

Why do people love cats so much?

How cute is such a terrifying creature like a cat!

Obviously their hamsters are the most obedient and cutest, okay?

Huo Caiyu heard a key detail, and frowned slightly: "Concubine Xian got the news immediately?"

He doesn't know the situation in the palace, but compared with the officialdom and the army, if there are any measures to go on, and people who have nothing to do with it will know immediately, then someone must take the initiative to report the news!

And it is the first time to report!

How many conspiracies and tricks are there in the palace surrounding His Majesty?

Huo Caiyu felt a little uncomfortable, and asked tentatively: "Does Your Majesty consider rectifying the internal affairs?"

After Li Jinyu finished talking, he calmed down a little. When he heard Huo Caiyu's question, he quickly turned his head around, hesitating a little: "Do you want to rectify it?"

It's not that he doesn't know that the eunuchs and maids in the palace are mixed with the eyeliner of many concubines and even courtiers. It's just that Emperor Jingchang did not care about it in the past, but now he doesn't want to deal with too many people.

What's more, in his heart, the palace will belong to Huo Caiyu in the future, and he is only staying here temporarily.

But this time Concubine Xian suddenly threatened him with a cat, which made Li Jinyu somewhat upset.

He subconsciously cast his eyes on Huo Caiyu for help.

——This imperial palace will belong to Huo Caiyu in the future, so it shouldn't be a problem for Huo Caiyu to clean up her home in advance, right?

Before Huo Caiyu could figure out what His Majesty's eyes meant, he heard His Majesty say firmly, "I'll leave this matter to you."

"His Majesty?"

"Good job!"

Huo Caiyu raised his head and looked at Li Jinyu in surprise.

Rectifying the internal affairs of the imperial palace sounds like a troublesome and offensive matter, but it is an excellent opportunity to find out the forces in the imperial palace.

If you have selfish intentions, you can take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents and install your own people!

His Majesty trusted him so much?

Even if he has no powerful subordinates now, he may not be recruited by other forces!

Huo Caiyu couldn't tell what was going on in her heart, she raised her head to meet Li Jinyu's impeccable expectant eyes, and couldn't say what she wanted to say.

After a while, he lowered his head again, and said in a deep voice, "I will surely fulfill my mission!"

Li Jinyu was very happy to see Huo Caiyu agreeing so readily: Sure enough, Huo Caiyu also wants to clean up his future home!

After all this tossing, another day passed.

Changkang passed on the dinner, which was still Li Jinyu's usual dish.

Originally, he had a strong taste and liked big fish and meat. Li Jinyu's own taste was lighter. After trying something new, he gradually asked the imperial dining room to replace it with his favorite food.

If it weren't for Chang Kang's long-winded talk that the human body would get angry, Li Jinyu might just eat nuts and grains every day.

Seven or eight vegetarian dishes can be regarded as a very noble banquet for ordinary people, but it seems a bit shabby for the emperor's imperial meal.

In particular, Huo Caiyu has seen how extravagant and wasteful Concubine Xian is.

Li Jinyu didn't think too much, and directly greeted Huo Caiyu to take a seat.

It stands to reason that when the emperor and his courtiers ate meals, they would open a small table for the courtiers to hold food alone; but in Li Jinyu's eyes, Huo Caiyu was the real emperor, so he naturally ignored this rule.

Huo Caiyu paused slightly, and sat down obediently.

After a meal, Li Jinyu happily called for a plate of peanuts to eat, and heard Huo Caiyu say: "It's getting late, I'll take my leave."

Li Jinyu was taken aback, the peanuts in his mouth were no longer fragrant: "Are you leaving?"

He turned to look out the window.

It was obviously dark outside, and under the light of the candles lit in the palace, the windows looked like a dark mirror, and also like a bloody mouth hiding danger.

Li Jinyu was frightened by the cat these two days, and immediately grabbed Huo Caiyu's sleeve: "Don't go!"

Huo Caiyu paused slightly when he was about to leave: "Your Majesty?"

Li Jinyu wanted to keep Huo Caiyu to sleep here, but he couldn't find a suitable reason for a while.

Although Huo Caiyu already knew that he was afraid of cats, he still didn't want Huo Caiyu to know that he was too afraid of cats to sleep alone.

Otherwise, the image of a tyrant will be lost!

In an emergency, Li Jinyu's mouth was faster than his head, and he blurted out: "I will order you to sleep tonight!"
