Chapter 52 Fifty-two
fifty-two
Xu You stood at the gate of the courtyard of the imperial study for a while, and the guard at the door glanced at her and did not speak. So she took a few more tentative steps inside, but the two guards were still silent, and had no intention of coming to stop her, so she probably understood, and swaggered into the courtyard.
His Majesty the Emperor was not there, there was no one at the door of the imperial study, the door was hidden, Xu You stepped forward and pushed, and the door opened.
Xu You cautiously poked his head in, and made sure that there was no one, so he jumped into the house briskly, and then pressed the door with his buttocks. An incense burner was lit in the house, and there was a faint smell of green tea in the air, which was refreshing and pleasant.
Xu You was a little thirsty, so he climbed onto the desk to find something to drink. But the desk and desk were all cleaned up, not even a piece of pastry crumbs, the kettle was opened, and it was empty, as if there were one or two drops that had not been poured clean, but Xu You was a little disgusted and didn't want to drink, so he threw the teapot lid aside and didn't care.
She got off her desk, lay in ambush under the desk and waited for the emperor's majesty to come back, and after sitting for less than a few minutes she began to fall asleep, so she obeyed the call of her heart and lay down on the ground, and after a while, she fell asleep in a daze.
Maybe it's because there are still people guarding outside in the emperor's territory, so Xu You has a special sense of security, and he sleeps very deeply, and he doesn't even know when the emperor's majesty will come back, as if something plucked her ears in a daze, she didn't bother to move, and she made a delicate "woo", turned over and continued to sleep.
There was a sudden silence in the room, and the old general, who was still standing and making an impassioned speech, immediately froze his face, and looked at His Majesty the Emperor in disbelief: I thought that it was a rare Ming Jun to be a pilgrimage, but I didn't expect it...... I never thought that he would be so stupid and lustful, and actually hide a goblin under the desk, which is simply morally corrupt!
The old general's face was full of righteous indignation, and he wanted to speak directly several times, but was stopped by the eyes of Minister Liu Gong on the side: These shameless servants are the ones who have brought the emperor's majesty badly!
The emperor vaguely saw a hint of something wrong in the old general's face, and his mind moved a little to understand, and his heart suddenly became furious, and he secretly cursed a thousand words*, but his face still had to pretend to be pleasant, as if nothing had happened, and the dragon's feet quietly probed down, trying to kick the cat demon that had caused him shame out from under the desk.
He still didn't use his strength, and the angle of his feet was not very precise, only plucked Xu You's tail, so she turned over again, and the long fluffy tail finally drilled out of the gap under the desk as the emperor wished, and at the same time, she let out a little unhappily "meow-".
His Majesty the Emperor hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at the old general with a comfortable expression, the old general was a little uncomfortable, and blushed for his obscene thoughts.
Xu You slept soundly, and when she woke up, she heard someone talking below, the voice was very unfamiliar, it shouldn't be someone she knew.
If it was Lord Xu, or Lord Lu, she could still poke her head out from under the desk to say hello to them, but if she changed to someone else, Xu You would not dare, maybe she would cause trouble for His Majesty the Emperor, she listened to the tone of the emperor's speech, and her mood today did not seem to be very good.
I didn't look at the yellow calendar before I went out, and if I knew it was so, she wouldn't come to him today. Xu You thought to himself, so he became more and more well-behaved and quiet, hiding in the corner under the desk without saying a word, not knowing that his whereabouts had already been exposed.
The official below had been chattering, and his voice was extremely high, like a thunderbolt, so loud that Xu Yu's ears couldn't bear it. But His Majesty the Emperor was quite calm, although his face was a little strange, but it was obviously not because he was dissatisfied with this official.
Because the official mentioned Yunzhou, Xu You couldn't help but prick up his ears and listened for a while, as if he was talking about the Hu people's chaos, Xu You was a little worried about Xiaoxue, their family didn't live there, if the Hu people called, they would be the first to suffer. If I knew this, I would have left them in the capital.
It was almost noon when the official stepped back, Xu You finally breathed a sigh of relief, crawled out from under the desk and greeted His Majesty the Emperor, "Meow-"
The Emperor looked at her a little speechlessly, and he was angry and powerless at the thought that his reputation for life was almost ruined by this cat. But soon he was relieved again, competing with a cat was not his style, so he hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, reached out and carried her to the desk, touched her brain with rare tenderness, and whispered: "You think about me today." ”
The tone was resentful, as if he was waiting for a concubine to be lucky.
"Since you're here, I just have a job for you to do." The emperor seemed to be a little hesitant when he said this, his brows frowned slightly, and he stopped for a long time after saying this, and the middle finger of his right hand tapped lightly on the table, and the rhythm was a little fast. After a long while, he seemed to have finally decided, with a determined and resolute look on his face, and said, "Have you ever been to the Queen's Palace?" ”
Is this mission related to the Queen? Xu You's heart moved, he blinked, and he was a little nervous, His Majesty the Emperor had a problem with the Qin family because of the matter of the second master of the Qin family? So you want her to go undercover in the Queen's Palace?
"On the first day of every month, the old lady of the Qin family will bring the ladies of the house to greet the queen, and when the time comes, you will go over there and carefully understand what they say." His voice was very soft, his eyebrows were lowered, and his expression was very indifferent, but Xu You was sensitive to a trace of sadness in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor.
Actually, he should have guessed something. What is it? Could it be that the queen mother has any hands and feet behind his back?
So, isn't she involved in the secret news of the palace? However, under normal circumstances, the result of being involved in this kind of thing is not a good death, and she doesn't want to die now.
Xu guessed Xu Yu's concerns, and His Majesty the Emperor laughed first, and teased: "What, afraid of death?" Don't worry, everyone in the palace knows that you are the cat of Rui Wangfu, and even the Queen Mother praises you, who dares to do anything to you? Besides, who would take a cat to heart. ”
That's why he sent her to inquire about the news? The queen's palace must be well guarded, so even the emperor's majesty can't put chess pieces in it, and it has been reduced to the point of relying on a cat to investigate the case. As an emperor, it's really sad. She always thought that this emperor was omnipotent!
Xu You didn't hurriedly agree, although His Majesty the Emperor said it well, but if something really happened, it was impossible to say. Although she is not like the second parrot who can speak, but in the end she is a cat who writes a letter, in case she hears something unseemly and the emperor wants to kill her, then she is too wronged.
Her mind turned here, and she suddenly remembered the second lack of parrots, although that guy is indeed a little noisy, but the ability to see people's eyes is still quite outstanding, how can it not be presumptuous in front of the queen mother, and was suddenly sent away, is it suspected that it heard something that should not be heard?
Xu You is a little skeptical that she is over-thinking, the queen mother is a well-known virtuous queen, she has always been respected by the emperor, and she has two sons under her knees, what is there about her not to think of secretly making the emperor's majesty suspicious and vigilant?
Perhaps, it's just that the emperor himself is suspicious? Are all emperors so virtuous?
Xu You thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed-she was already stupid enough to send it to the door, what else could she do if she didn't agree? Anyway, the emperor didn't know what she could hear, and even if there was something really big, she pretended not to know.
On the way back to King Rui's Mansion, Xu You remained silent, obediently lying on Zhao Chengjin's knees and not moving, looking very deep. Shen Rong was a little worried when he saw her appearance, and asked Zhao Cheng softly: "The snow group is very quiet today, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
Zhao Cheng touched her ears, touched her nose again, and shook his head gently, "It doesn't seem to be sick." She should be thinking about something. He said seriously.
Shen Rong's face twitched, he glanced at Xu Yu deeply, and didn't speak.
After returning home, Xu You wanted to find the second parrot and ask about the things in the queen's palace, and searched all over the palace before finally finding it in the side courtyard near the back door. There was also a parrot that was slightly smaller than it, which should be its girlfriend, anyway, when Xu Yu entered the hospital, he saw that Er Que had a small piece of something in his mouth, and he was enthusiastic to feed it to the female parrot......
Seeing Xu You come in, Er Que didn't react at all as if he hadn't seen her, Xu You climbed above the roof beam and stretched out his paws to pat at its bird shelf, Er Que turned his head impatiently, and called her in a rough voice, "What are you doing?" ”
"Meow meow meow-" Xu You opened his mouth, and the second one laughed loudly, looking down on the cat, but it knew that Xu You was very bad, and among the animals in the house, she had the largest pedigree, so she didn't dare to say bad things about her.
It's useless! Xu You was very distressed, it was really a helpless and annoying thing to be able to speak, why didn't she dress as a parrot or starling when she crossed in the first place? Well, starlings don't look very good, but macaws, budgies and so on are still very beautiful.
Not long after, the second parrot returned to Liyuan, and with it came back with his girlfriend. However, compared to the noise of Erque, its girlfriend - no, maybe it should be called a wife, is much more mature and stable, standing high on the bird rack and looking down on all humans and animals, looking particularly cold.
The bitter Xu Yu couldn't get a word out of the mouth of the second parrot, so he had to rely on himself completely.
As an undercover cat, although she has the advantage of not being easy to be noticed, she also has a great disadvantage, and the only thing she can do is to sneak around on the roof like a gentleman on the beam and listen to the wall.
However, who doesn't have anything to do with the illegal things they do all day long, Xu You has heard about the summer from the spring, and he didn't find out any special news, but he got acquainted with the Nine Emperor Princes back and forth, and the grandmothers and palace maids in the courtyard here are no longer guarding her like thieves.
In March, Princess Rui added a young master to the palace, and the palace was full of joy, even Zhao Chengjin was immersed in the joy of being upgraded to a brother, and for many days in a row, the younger brother was long, and the younger brother was short, and he always wanted to hold Xu Yu to see the second young master of Rui Wangye, but unfortunately he was stopped by Cui Yu.
As for Concubine Anshu, she suddenly fell when she was about to give birth, and she gave birth to a baby girl after a few days of abdominal pain.
Xu You realized at this time that maybe Concubine Ning Shu had already discovered the problem when she broke the flower pot, and she endured it until the last time to take revenge......
O women who kill each other!
The author has something to say: I'm dizzy, I said that I would speed up the pace, why do you seem to think that the next chapter is going to become human, and it is estimated that there will be several chapters.
I received a notice of thesis review today, a good news, a bad news, the good news is that I passed with difficulty, and the bad news is that I was criticized by the teacher like a storm, and I was so criticized that I wanted to kill myself to thank the world, and then ordered me to revise it quickly, and I should not fail the defense......
So, I'm going to try to change it every day, but there's no hope for it. I want to cry when I mention my paper now.
I still have to save up for my dissertation defense~~~~(>_
