"Cats?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little subtle, first a little surprised, and then hooked the corners of his mouth, with a look that should have been like this a long time ago. Has this little kitten been going out to play crazy every day lately, and now he has finally found out and come back to investigate the case? His Majesty the Emperor didn't feel at all that it was the effect of his secret sending people to monitor and coerce.

The ministers at the head of the group pretended not to hear them, and looked down at their toes, but they all pricked up their ears in unison.

The emperor raised his eyes and looked around at everyone in the room, waved his hand and said to Liu Gonggong: "Lead it to the side hall next door and wait." Gonggong Liu immediately responded, and was about to leave, but the emperor suddenly stopped him, coughed unnaturally twice, handed him a plate of walnut cake on the table, and said, "Give it to you." ”

Gee! This favored energy made all the ministers red-eyed. Not to mention them, these civil and military officials, even the concubines in the palace are rare to make the emperor so attentive, the loss is a cat, if it is replaced by a person, it will attract envy!

Gonggong Liu was calm, took the pastry and went out lightly, and smiled at the Wei guards: "Your Majesty is busy, let me take it to the side hall to rest for a while, Wei guards together?" ”

Guard Wei nodded, squatted down and hugged Xu You in his arms, and sent him all the way to the side hall.

Gonggong Liu is the eunuch who serves the emperor's majesty closely, and he knows that his majesty's attitude towards this cat is very unusual, although he doesn't know what the reason is, but he can serve the emperor for so many years, he is a human spirit, but he has doubts in his heart, and his face is not half a point, politely led Wei Guards and Xu You to the side hall, and let the walnut cake to the ground, and said with a smile: "This cat is really a great blessing to be able to enter the eyes of the Long Live Lord, and this is the first time I have seen the Long Live Lord to give food to the cat." ”

Xu You glanced at him, and instead of yelling and eating, he jumped on the table, sat down, patted the table with his paws, and motioned to Gonggong Liu to bring the plate of walnut cake.

Gonggong Liu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant. However, Wei Guards reacted immediately, and hurriedly bent down to bring the walnut cake on the ground to the table and handed it to Xu You.

Gonggong Liu suddenly felt a little bad.

The rations under the Emperor's Majesty are really extraordinary, although they are just a small pastry, but they can see the good intentions of the masters of the imperial dining room. The walnuts are pressed into the size of soybeans, and the pastries are made into plum blossoms, neatly arranged in a small plate, exuding a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, which makes people very appetizing at a glance.

Although Xu You has been a little worried about his weight recently, the current self-control of the food has gone to the clouds. Just eat a small piece, a small piece will be fine—she told herself, and then, licking her tongue, she took a small bite on the walnut cake, and then ...... When His Majesty the Emperor summoned her into the house, Xu You couldn't walk a little.

But this time she resolutely didn't let Wei guards hug, and trotted with four small broken legs, and when she entered the imperial study, she was blocked by the threshold, and she rolled straight down with a stumble on her legs, and then rolled several times in succession, and rolled to the desk under the emperor's majesty in a daze, and the Buddhist beads in her mouth also fell out, slipping all the way to the emperor's feet.

Gonggong Liu hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, wiped it carefully with a handkerchief, and then handed it to the emperor.

The emperor seemed to be a little puzzled, took the Buddha bead and looked at it for a long time, his brows still locked. Xu You didn't care that Gonggong Liu and Wei were there, so he quickly climbed onto the desk in front of the emperor, hooked his sleeve with his paws, and dragged him out vigorously when he hooked it. The emperor finally understood, "Let me follow you?" ”

Xu You immediately meowed, slipped down the table, twisted his ass and took the lead. The Emperor couldn't help but laugh a few times and got up to follow. Gonggong Liu glanced at the Wei guards, who were a little dazed, but they also followed step by step.

A group of people and a cat marched towards the imperial garden, and the more they walked in the direction of the rockery where the accident occurred, the more solemn the emperor's face became. He could probably guess the purpose of Xu You's leading him, a little incredulous, and a little expectant. Let a cat investigate the case, this kind of unbelievable thing is estimated to be able to do it, the emperor is a person who does not play cards according to common sense, but even so, in fact, he has no bottom in his heart.

Was it really found out by a cat? Anyway, this matter can't be spread out!

Xu You was proud all the way, and when she arrived at the scene of the crime, she pointed to the hole where the Buddha beads were found with her tail proudly, and then stood aside and did not move, raising her head to look at the emperor with a proud and proud look. But she soon noticed that something was wrong with the emperor's eyes, which were so eager that Xu You's heart was furious, so she shook her hair and carefully hid to the side.

"Pushed this rockery." The emperor lightly commanded the guards, and when the guards heard this, they stepped forward one after another, and with a few booms, the pile of stones from Taihu Lake fell down with a bang. Wei guards stepped forward and looked through them carefully, and soon found more than a dozen Buddha beads from the rubble.

Xu You secretly looked at the emperor's face, and found that he had been tightening his face from beginning to end, and there was no change, even when Gonggong Liu wrapped those Buddha beads in a handkerchief and sent them to him, he just glanced at him and said "um" in a low voice, and then his eyes suddenly glanced at Xu You, and the sight of a person and a cat was just right, Xu You was frightened by him, held it in his throat in one breath, burped firmly, and scared himself like a shrimp.

The corners of Gonggong Liu's mouth twitched, and he finally couldn't hold back his smile, Wei Guard looked at her with sympathy, but the face of the initiator's Emperor looked much better, beckoned to Xu You, and said in a low voice: "Come here." ”

Xu Yu didn't move, blinking his eyes and hesitating. Gonggong Liu lowered his head and pretended to look for evidence in the rubble, and the Wei guards peeked at the emperor from time to time, and saw that his face was pleasant, and his heart was a little calm.

Seeing that Xu You didn't move, the emperor actually walked over in person, paced in front of her in three or two steps, squatted down and stretched out his arm to pull Xu You up, stuffed it into his arms, turned his head and left, and commanded again: "Go and find this person for me!" ”

How are they going to find someone, these things have nothing to do with Xu You, every muscle in her body is stiff now, and she squatted nervously in the emperor's arms and didn't even dare to breathe. Aim at it, what the hell does this emperor uncle want to do, it's really scary to be so gentle all of a sudden!

The emperor carried Xu You back to the imperial study, and did not speak all the way. Gonggong Liu followed closely with his head down, and when he arrived at the door, the emperor suddenly said, "You are waiting outside." ”

Gonggong Liu's heart tightened, his footsteps immediately stopped, and he responded respectfully, and when the emperor entered the house, he also thoughtfully closed the door carefully.

There are only two emperors and Xu Yu left in the huge study, the room is very quiet, the autumn sun shines through the window lattice, shining on the floor paved with porcelain clay in Suzhou, as if enveloped in a layer of soft light. Outside the courtyard there was the chirping of birds, one after another, and when they got closer, they could even hear the sound of their flapping wings.

The emperor touched his chin and looked at Xu You, his handsome face was full of confusion, and he seemed to be hesitating what kind of attitude to use to talk to her. Xu You didn't move, honestly squatting on his desk, looking at him innocently, but there were a thousand grass and mud horses galloping in his heart.

I knew that this emperor was so difficult to serve, she should have been pretending to be dead, how fun it was to go to the Imperial Horse Prison every day to ride a horse, she was kicked in the head by a donkey to do things for this hooligan uncle, not to mention a little reward, but also to be brought back for interrogation.

"Cat," the Emperor stretched out his hand and rubbed his hand on her head, "I know that you can understand human speech, so don't pretend to be garlic for me." After a while, I ask a question, and you answer, yes and nod, don't you just shake your head, understand? ”

Got your mom! Xu You scolded angrily in his heart, but he had to bow his head under the power, and nodded aggrievedly, which looked more and more human-like.

"Have you ever seen the murderer?" He asked.

Xu You hurriedly shook her head, if she really knew who the murderer was, she would dare to play this kind of game with this greasy and crooked person, and she would have hooked his sleeve to arrest someone.

"Are you a youkai?" He asked again, his eyes suddenly sharpening.

Xu You was shocked and hurriedly shook his head, but he couldn't help but think crankily in his heart, if the emperor asked her if she was human, what should she do?

The emperor scoffed, "It's not a monster, who believes it?" How can a cat be so smart? You just admit it honestly, even if you are really a monster, I won't kill you. ”

Nima's, this old rascal's words can be believed, it's a hell! These emperors are not good things, stinky rascals!

Seeing that she refused to admit it, the emperor did not persecute her anymore, and even smiled rarely, scratched her chin lightly with his fingers, and asked, "Did you go to the Imperial Horse Prison to play a few days ago?" ”

Xu You guessed that he must have known, so he nodded honestly, not wanting the emperor to ask again: "I forgot about my errand, if I hadn't sent someone to follow and scare you, wouldn't I have thought about investigating the case?" ”

Xu You immediately stopped moving, hesitated for a while, and nodded honestly avoiding the emperor's eyes. Falling into the hands of this old rascal, she really didn't have the spirit of resistance at all, and was completely subdued.

When the emperor saw her nodding, his face became more and more amiable, and there was even a slight smile in his eyes, and he kindly smoothed her hair, and whispered: "What a good cat." As soon as the words fell, he suddenly continued to ask, "Are you secretly scolding me in your heart?" ”

Xu You nodded—reacted suddenly, shook his head hurriedly, frightened, vigorous, and wanted to break his neck.

The old fox is really hard to deal with!

The emperor was not angry, "Ha Lu Ha" Da Lu laughed, pulled up Xu You's paw and patted it gently, and said: "Okay, you have made a great contribution, I will naturally be rewarded, and I will let people send things to the palace in a while." After that, he called loudly, and Gonggong Liu outside heard the sound, so he pushed the door into the house, lowered his head and paced to the emperor's side and asked, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

"Send it to the upper study." After that, he thought about it again and advised: "Go and tell Lao Wei and them, today's affairs are not allowed to be spread outside, if anyone dares to chew their tongue outside, I will not spare it." When he said the last word, he already had a chill on his face.

Father-in-law Liu's back was immediately soaked.
