I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

After Luo Bai got into the quilt, Chu Yuzhao suddenly regretted his decision.

"Brother, you feel so cool and comfortable."

A piece of delicate and smooth skin clings to Chu Yuzhao's arm, and a warm hand also caresses his abdominal muscles.

Chu Yuzhao subconsciously dodged to the side, this movement was a bit big, pulling the wound on his back, and he frowned again and snorted.

"What's wrong? Does the wound hurt?" Luo Bai's worried voice rang in his ears, and his hot breath hit his neck.

Chu Yuzhao held his breath at that moment, and said a little stiffly: "Lie down."

Luo Bai snorted, moved a little to the side, and explained to himself: "Mother said I'm like a stove, I really can't be next to you, it will heat you up."

Chu Yuzhao let out his breath slowly, wondering if Luo Bai heard his slightly rapid heartbeat just now.

Although Luo Bai's body moved away, his head was still resting on Chu Yuzhao's shoulder, his eyes were slightly lowered, and his long eyelashes swept across his shoulder, making Chu Yuzhao feel as if a butterfly had stopped there, fluttering its wings from time to time. Disturbed people a little upset.

Luo Bai didn't move any more, and only heard the snorting of the two in the silence. Just when Chu Yuzhao thought he was asleep, he suddenly said softly, "Brother, why did you save me today?"

Chu Yuzhao closed his eyes and said, "I promised your mother to take care of you, so I watched you die?"

"But, but." Luo Bai organized his words for a while before saying: "But you don't have to save me like that."

He believed that when he was in normal danger, his brother would save him, but at that time the situation was much higher than the normal danger, and his brother was injured just to save him, which made Luo Bai very disturbed and guilty at the same time.

His words were not clear, but Chu Yuzhao understood his meaning instantly, and said, "I didn't think that much."

Luo Bai raised his head to look at his side face, his tall nose bridge and facial contours under the moonlight, without turning his eyes for a long time.I just feel hot in my heart, and I can just stare at people like this forever.

"What are you looking at?" Chu Yuzhao asked faintly as he was still lying flat.

This time, Luo Bai didn't say that he looked at his brother, how good-looking he was, but only murmured: "Brother, you are so kind to me."

He yawned, with tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and rubbed it on Chu Yuzhao's shoulder, and said in a confused voice, "Brother, grandma said you are my man."

Chu Yuzhao had already closed his eyes, but opened them quickly and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

"It's not me who said it, but grandma who said you are my man."

"She doesn't know, don't follow the nonsense."

Luo Bai thought for a while and asked, "Then can you be my man?"

Chu Yuzhao made the wrong teeth: "No."

After a moment of silence, Luo Bai said: "Since you don't want to be my man, then how about I be your man?"

"not good."

Luo Bai smacked his lips regretfully, didn't say anything, moved and adjusted his position so that he could get closer to Chu Yuzhao without making him feel too hot, then he closed his eyes and fell asleep, and soon there was a snoring sound Snoring lightly.

Chu Yuzhao heard that it was close at hand, as if he was pulling his ear, facing the snoring sound in his ears, thinking that he would not be able to sleep because of the noise, but unexpectedly fell into a dream very quickly.

"Brother, help me catch the little fish, you see you let all the little fish go."

"Brother, come here, there are a lot of small fish here."

"Brother, hahahaha, the little fish is biting my toe."

"Brother, brother..."

Chu Yuzhao heard a series of immature laughter and saw the sparkling river.The little boy in the green shirt with the bun on his back was hunched over to touch small fish in the river, half of his shirt was floating in the water and was soaked.

He heard himself reminding: "Go ashore quickly, your clothes are wet, take them off to dry."

The little boy in the green shirt smiled and said, "Then will you catch small fish for me? I'll go ashore if I catch three small fish."

"Okay, then go up quickly, and I'll catch you."

He saw the hunched little boy in the green shirt suddenly straighten up, revealing a face sculpted in pink and jade.Those big eyes looked at him with a crooked smile.

Chu Yuzhao often has this dream, and he also knows that he is in a dream, listening to the conversation between the two boys in the dream from the perspective of a spectator.

He knew that one of them was himself, and the other couldn't see his face clearly. He only deduced from the conversation that it was Chu Yuce, and this was the first time he saw the boy clearly.

The boy was very beautiful, but his facial features were clearly not Chu Yuce's. Chu Yuzhao was secretly surprised, and wanted to take the first two steps to take a closer look.

But no matter how close he was, there was always a distance between him and the boy. He stood there in amazement for a while, then woke up from his dream.

Chu Yuzhao opened his eyes, looked around first, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he looked at Luo Bai who was lying beside him.

It was already late at night, and the scorching temperature dropped, Luo Bai didn't stretch his hands and feet out of the quilt anymore, but hugged his arm tightly, with one leg still draped over his thigh.

Luo Bai's face was leaning against his shoulder, one side was deformed, and his mouth seemed to be pouting.Chu Yuzhao moved, trying to pull his arm out, but he muttered dissatisfiedly, but hugged his arm even tighter.

Chu Yuzhao stopped moving, just opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, and the little boy in the dream floated up in his mind unconsciously.

Obviously he looked very carefully in his dream, but now he can't remember that appearance, only remember a pair of eyes are round and big, like two waves of light.

...It also looks like the eyes of Luo Bai beside him.

Chu Yuzhao subconsciously looked at Luo Bai who was snuggling beside him, wanting to meet his eyes.But those eyes were closed tightly, and only two rows of long eyelashes could be seen, casting a shadow on the lower eyelid.

He watched like this for a long while, until Luo Bai suddenly frowned, moved his head a little uneasily, and uttered vague ravings, as if he was experiencing a dream.

Chu Yuzhao listened carefully, and intermittently captured words such as brother, swim to the shore, don't sink.

The expression on his face softened, and he slowly turned sideways towards Luo Bai, raised the other arm that was not held by him, and gently patted his back.

After a while, Luo Bai finally calmed down, and started snoring very regularly again.

Chu Yuzhao maintained the posture of facing him, and fell asleep with his neck crossed, sniffing and smelling each other.

Lu Wangfu.

In the luxuriously furnished study room, Chu Yulu was sitting in the chair in the center with a sullen face, and there were two people standing below him, one of them had a wounded arm and was wrapped in a thick white cloth.

"Didn't you see the origins of those masked people?" Chu Yulong asked.

The injured man shook his head: "My lord, I obeyed your orders and went to catch Mr. Na Luo with my brothers, but by chance they ran into someone who was chasing Emperor Zhao. When both Emperor Zhao and Mr. Luo fell off the cliff, those people couldn't help but talk to each other. We chopped it down, and all the brothers were gone. Only I was lying behind the tree and pretending to be dead, so I stayed alive and waited to come back and report to the prince. They never said a word from the beginning to the end, nor did they take off their veils. It's normal, and I can't see what the origin is."

After pondering for a moment, Chu Yulu said: "Go down, don't go out in the house these days."

"Yes."

When that person left the room, Chu Yulu looked at the other person and asked, "Wang Jin, what do you think?"

Wang Jin is Chu Yulu's counselor. Hearing this, he took a step forward and said, "No matter who is behind those masked men, it just so happened that the prince wanted to catch Luo Bai and give it to Mr. Xin, but he didn't want anyone There is an even bigger conspiracy, and they ran into it by accident. My lord, you must not reveal anything about Luo Bai's arrest, lest it get mixed up with that matter, and it will inevitably get angry at that time."

"This king is still aware of this point." Chu Yulu smiled darkly, "I can't think of someone who is more impatient than this king..."

Wang Jin said: "Now the emperor's whereabouts are unknown, life and death are uncertain, and the court situation is imminent. It is best for you, my lord, to go to the emperor yourself and search around, and don't stay in the mansion anymore."

"If this king finds him..." Chu Yulu looked at Wang Jin.

"My lord must not." Wang Jin hurriedly said: "Your uncle, General Leng, is still at the border of Ningzuo. Even if he hears the news, it will take several days. The lord has no soldiers in the capital. The person will definitely not be the prince."

Chu Yulu squinted his eyes: "What do you mean, this king wants to protect the emperor?"

"Yes, my lord, the last thing you want to do is to let the emperor have any accidents, otherwise the next target will be you."

Chu Yulu asked: "Then who do you think will be the beneficiaries?"

Wang Jin said: "Since someone wants to kill the emperor, then he is very sure that he can get the throne after the emperor's death. The assassin is also the beneficiary. The prince thinks who is the most likely person?"

Chu Yulu stood up, paced back and forth twice, and muttered: "Qin Yun is the only person who can touch military power, but due to her limited status, she is nothing without Chu Yuzhao supporting her. She should be the one who wants Chu Yuzhao to live the most. Well, Chu Yu, an idle prince without a single soldier in his hands and no ambitions, who only knows how to fight cocks and chase dogs all day long. Even if Chu Yuzhao dies, the throne will not be his turn. to his head..."

Wang Jin pondered and said: "Yes, but don't forget, my lord, there are still a few vassal kings, they have a large number of private soldiers, and they also have royal blood."

Chu Yulu was out of his mind for a while, and said again: "No matter who he is, Wang Jin, you send me a man, and every vassal king will put chess pieces under him. This king must know their every move."

"Understood, this subordinate has already done this matter years ago, and is watching."

"Well, that's fine."

Chu Yulu fastened the button on the top: "This king is going out of the palace now, to find my good brother in person, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight..."

When Luo Bai woke up the next day, he saw that the bed was empty and he was the only one in the room.He got out of bed in a hurry, and didn't even care about putting on his shoes, so he ran to the door and opened the door. He didn't heave a sigh of relief until he saw the tall and tall figure in the courtyard.

Chu Yuzhao was standing under the pear tree in the courtyard, looking at the mountains in the distance. In the early morning, the sun was shining from among the swaying leaves, and the spots of light danced on his face.

Hearing the movement behind him, he turned to look at Luo Bai, his gaze fell to his bare feet, and he frowned: "Go and put on your shoes."

Luo Bai leaned against the door frame and giggled: "I panicked, I thought you were gone."

Chu Yuzhao's eyes seemed to say, what nonsense are you talking about?He turned back and continued to look into the distance.

"Ninny, it's time to have breakfast." The old lady poked her head out of the kitchen, holding a wooden spoon in her hand.

"Oh, I see, grandma."

The small square table was placed under the pear tree, with a bamboo basket of yellowish corn bread, a plate of cured meat and a clay bowl of porridge.

The three of them sat around the table and had breakfast. The old lady picked up the bacon and put it in the two porridge bowls: "Eat, eat meat, eat more."

The cured meat was a bit dry and hard, it must have been left for a long time, Luo Bai bit it down, and it took a lot of tearing to break it, but it was delicious in his mouth.

"Grandma, you can eat too." Luo Bai said while chewing.

The old lady showed her broken teeth with a smile: "Grandma can't bite, you two eat."

She has lived alone in the depths of these mountains for many years, and she is really happy to have guests at home, with a good-looking face and a sweet mouth, and she will bring out any delicious food.

Luo Bai went to see Chu Yuzhao, and saw that he was also eating corn buns in a leisurely manner, so he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Is it delicious? I think it's delicious."

Chu Yuzhao glanced at him, looked at his greasy mouth, and said flatly: "Sit down, eat yours."

There was a plate of bright red vegetables beside the cured meat. Luo Bai stretched out his chopsticks to pick it up, but Chu Yuzhao held his wrist: "This is chili sauce, you can't eat it."

"Chili sauce? I'll try it."

Madam Xue's dishes were very light. Luo Bai seldom ate spicy food since he was a child. After entering the palace, those dishes were more delicate and less spicy. He had never seen such a bowl full of chili peppers.

Chu Yuzhao did not let go of his hand, and warned: "You have never eaten spicy food, how can you bear it?"

"I can take it, I can take it."

The old lady was also dissatisfied and said: "Which girl doesn't eat spicy food? If you eat spicy food and have a spicy temper, you won't be bullied by your husband's family."

Luo Bai hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, brother, let me eat quickly, I don't want to go to my husband's house and be bullied."

Chu Yuzhao's forehead twitched, and he was dazed for a moment, but Luo Baiyan quickly withdrew his hand, took a little chili sauce and fed it into his mouth, after chewing it twice, his eyes lit up.

"good to eat."

Chu Yuzhao looked at him and saw that he didn't think it was too spicy, so he didn't bother and let him eat.Luo Bai ate a few times and found it unsatisfactory, so he picked a big ball and smeared it on the cornbread, dyeing the cornbread bright red.

"Can you eat like this?" Chu Yuzhao couldn't help frowning and asked.

"Yes, any amount will do." Luo Bai complacently stuffed the cornbread into his mouth, and ruthlessly tore a big mouthful into his mouth.

Chu Yuzhao kept staring at him, watching that tiny beads of sweat began to ooze from his nose and forehead, his originally fair face and neck also turned red, his chewing movements gradually slowed down, and finally he opened his mouth and began to pant .

"Spit it out." Chu Yuzhao put his hand under his mouth, urging him sharply.

Luo Bai gasped and looked at him, then closed his mouth and chewed again, his cheeks puffed up, and said vaguely: "I don't spit, I don't want to."

He bit too much on this cornbread, chewing very hard, and occasionally opened his mouth to take two breaths.But he didn't want to be more anxious and unable to swallow, his mouth and throat seemed to be burning, and tears came out of the heat.

He looked at Chu Yuzhao's face that was getting darker and darker with tears in his eyes, and while chewing harder, he raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

Chu Yuzhao couldn't bear it anymore, he slapped his chopsticks on the table, strode to the kitchen, and immediately came out with a ladle of water.He stood beside Luo Bai, put his hand around his mouth, and shouted loudly: "I vomited."

Luo Bai was about to collapse, and quickly spit out the cornbread in his mouth into his palm, and Chu Yuzhao handed over the water ladle again: "Drink quickly."

After Luo Bai took the water ladle and gulped down the water, Chu Yuzhao went to the kitchen to wash his hands.

Luo Bai drank most of the ladle of water, and his mouth felt a little more relaxed.When Chu Yuzhao came out, he saw him obediently sitting at the table, his eyes were as red as a rabbit, his lips were also red and swollen, and he was looking at him pitifully.

Chu Yuzhao sat down at the table again and asked him, "Will you still eat spicy food in the future?"

Luo Bai coughed twice, not daring to say anything more and still eating, he just murmured: "If you don't eat too much, you can eat a little bit."

The old lady gave him another steamed bun, smiled and said, "Don't eat too much at one time, take your time."

"Well, thank you grandma." Luo Bai took the cornbread, stretched his chopsticks towards the plate of chili sauce, glanced at the opposite side, and saw Chu Yuzhao staring at him gloomyly, his hands trembled in fright, and his chopsticks turned in the air direction, only pick up the pickles from the side dish.

After eating, the old lady cleaned up the dishes, Chu Yuzhao stood in the bright place outside the courtyard, and called Luo Bai, "Come here."

Luo Bai didn't know why, but walked over obediently, like a puppy who was only summoned by its master.

"Open your mouth."

Luo Bai opened his mouth to let him see.

Chu Yuzhao looked at his mouth and throat, saw that there was no redness and swelling, and waved his hands again: "Okay, let's go."

Luo Bai didn't move, just stared at him, his eyes were shining, Chu Yuzhao then asked again: "Why do you keep looking at me?"

Luo Bai moved closer, and whispered as if whispering: "Brother, you must really, really like me."

When he said this, his tone was determined, with undisguised excitement.

Chu Yuzhao glanced at him sideways, and snorted from his nose like a sneer, but Luo Bai didn't mind, and tiptoed to his ear and said: "You love to be clean, but just now you can clean it with your hands." Pick up the cornbread I bitten."

Chu Yuzhao stretched out his fingers to push him away, but Luo Bai didn't move, but stuck to him instead.He had no choice but to take a half step back: "Stand up and talk properly." Then he said as if explaining: "It's just that I promised your mother to take care of you."

"I don't believe it, you just really, really like me."

Luo Bai giggled like a rascal, put his hands around his waist, and went to look at his face, but Chu Yuzhao broke his hands away, and turned his head to the side.He went to hug him again, Chu Yuzhao broke off again, continued to hug, Chu Yuzhao finally gave up, let him hug him, and looked into the distance with deep eyes.

It's just that there seemed to be helplessness on that face, but in fact there was a faint smile that was not easy to detect.
