Youshu still remembers the scene of being taken to Ganquan Palace for the first time, the road is full of flowers and colorful butterflies on both sides, and there are several red lanterns hanging under the corridor, swaying lightly in the wind. Now, just three months later, the place is deserted, with rotting petals falling to the ground untended and leaving red everywhere.

Youshu's nose was a little uncomfortable, and under the cover of the old ghost's blinding method, he ran a few steps quickly, and finally arrived at the inner hall. Concubine Hui was standing by the window looking into the distance, her face no longer had delicate makeup and elegant smiles, but gloomy clouds. The eighth prince had just gotten out of school, so he hurriedly ran in and asked, "Mother, they all said that my uncle was demoted to the rank of a five-rank supervisor, is it true?" ”

Concubine Hui turned around and slapped her hard, "Do you still have a face?" If it weren't for you, your uncle wouldn't have been sent by the emperor to attack Nanban. The imperial court has attacked the Nanban for decades, but has it ever won once? The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in your uncle's hands were all lost into it, and before he returned to Beijing to report on his work, the emperor had issued three decrees to condemn the crime, and even went down and degraded, and when he arrived in the capital, he might not even be able to keep the Wupin Supervision Army. I have been plotting with your uncle for more than ten years, but in the end it failed, all because of you, this unsuccessful thing! If you don't provoke Lao Qi, we can have today? ”

"If you had killed Lao Qi early, we wouldn't be where we are today! You yourself are not ruthless enough, but you blame me! The Eighth Prince pushed Concubine Hui away hard, turned around and ran.

Concubine Hui was so angry that she almost fainted, but she couldn't ignore him, so she hurriedly asked the eunuch to chase after her. She finally admitted that she had indeed picked the wrong person, and if she replaced the eighth with the seventh, where would she fall into such a situation now. Although all the evidence of the year has been erased, as long as the emperor has any doubts, he can still rectify you without a trace. The emperor is Dayan's sky, he can do whatever he wants, and he can support whoever he wants.

Now it seems that he no longer plans to hold Ganquan Palace, and his brother's demotion is a signal, and it is his turn next. Concubine Hui was crumbling, but fortunately she was supported by two palace maids so that she did not sit on the ground. She didn't pay any attention when a puppy ran past and chased after the Eighth Prince.

With the help of the ghosts in the palace, Youshu easily got the jade pendant of the Eighth Emperor and ran towards Cining Palace. The eighth prince not only hated Lao Qi deeply, but also hated Lao Qi's puppy, and hurriedly left the palace people chasing after him, and after his heart caught up, he found a hidden corner to kill the dog, trampled it into meat paste, and then cut off a dog paw, and quietly sent it to the old seventh palace, but to see how heartbroken he would be.

Driven by the evil thoughts in his heart, he only knew how to chase wildly, and did not notice that he had entered the realm of Cining Palace. The palace maid guarding the Buddha hall was distracted by the sound of the ghost, and she could pass by him, but she turned a blind eye because of the obscure.

The queen mother was the successor of the first emperor, married into the palace at the age of eighteen, and became a widow at the age of twenty. After Emperor Jing ascended the throne, she pretended to worship the Buddha to escape the other party's liquidation, but she did not accept her fate, and from time to time she had to stir up some turmoil in front of the harem.

At this moment, she was in the Buddhist hall with her brother, and she did not find a puppy squatting at the door to watch. After a while, the puppy turned to leave, and when he walked to the side of the steps, he threw down the jade pendant in his mouth. Yu Pei Ding Ling tumbled for a while, and finally fell into the flower bed next to it. The puppy immediately ran wildly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Who's out there?" The Queen Mother and her brother stiffened for a moment, and then questioned sharply.

The palace maid who was led away was late, but because of the blinding, she didn't see the puppy, nor did she see the eighth prince who was trapped in the back garden by the ghost wall. She stepped forward quickly and said in a trembling voice, "Empress Dowager Qi, the slave maid was just led away." ”

The Queen Mother and the Duke of Yasukuni knew that something was wrong, so they hurriedly put on their clothes and came out to check, and finally found a jade pendant in the flower garden, on which the word "Yong" was engraved in Lishu.

"Ji Yongye?" Except for the Eighth Prince, the Queen Mother couldn't think of anyone else.

And the eighth prince, who had lifted the ghost to hit the wall, walked to the front of the Buddha hall at this time and bowed his hand.

The Queen Mother squeezed out a smile and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"Back to the emperor's grandmother, Lao Qi's dog is really hateful, and he actually took away his grandson's jade pendant. The grandson chased all the way and entered the Cining Palace unconsciously. The words fell and looked up and said in surprise, "Imperial grandmother, it is this jade pendant." ”

The Queen Mother returned the jade pendant and let him go without asking anything. Yasukuni Gong was still laughing with him one moment, but the next moment he was murderous, "Do you believe his nonsense?" Puppy, did you see the puppy come in? ”

The palace people shook their heads in unison, and said in fear, "Don't talk about puppies, I don't even know how His Royal Highness got in." ”

The Queen Mother didn't believe Lao Ba's words, but she wouldn't kill people in her Cining Palace, so she planned to arrange a few nails in Ganquan Palace and slowly poison him to death.

Yasukuni shook his head, "We still need to get rid of him sooner." If he sues Concubine Sù Hui about this, and then sues the emperor, we will be finished. ”

"Find someone to keep an eye on him first. He and Concubine Hui are now in a worrying situation, and they finally have such a big handle as the mourning family, and they will definitely come to trade with the mourning family. These elves in the palace will not waste the slightest opportunity, and they must always seek the greatest benefits. The Queen Mother said firmly, "This kind of scandal, but anyone who knows it can't please it, what happens to the eighth child and depends on the emperor's mood, Concubine Hui will definitely be killed, so they don't dare to say it, even if they want to say it, they have to arrange it, and it's best to pretend to be someone else's mouth." We still have time, no hurry. ”

Yasukuni Gong thought about it for a while, and ordered, "You can watch it, in short, you can't be held by them." In this world, only the dead can keep their mouths shut. ”

"The mourners understand." The Queen Mother stepped forward and rubbed her brother's waistline ambiguously-

When Youshu and the old ghost returned to Guangling Palace, it was almost dusk. Xiao Shunzi found that His Royal Highness the Seventh was asleep and carried him to the bed, and when he saw that there was no Shu in the hall or outside the hall, he was immediately frightened and scattered, and hurriedly sent someone to find him. Seeing that His Royal Highness the Seventh was about to wake up, everyone was so anxious that they were sweating, and when they saw the puppies that popped out of the grass, they were so excited that they burst into tears.

"My little ancestor, you are back! Where did you run and how did you get dirty? Xiao Shunzi hurriedly picked him up and ordered, "Hurry up, hurry up and boil a pot of hot water to wash it before His Highness wakes up!" This master is the life-root of His Highness, if we know that we almost lost it, everyone in the palace will be whipped! ”

Thinking of the palace maid who was crippled by a whip, everyone immediately split up.

Youshu never let anyone other than the master hug her, but today her body is covered with grass clippings, mud and flower juice, and it is so dirty. He didn't dare to think about that scene, so he struggled a little and confessed.

Half an hour later, Youshu, who had been washed white and clean, was quietly placed by Xiao Shunzi next to the pillow of the Seventh Highness. The nervous palace people saw that His Highness was still sleeping deeply, so they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then rushed out. The old ghost floating on the top of the tent turned his palm into a brown pill and said, "You can find a way to let your master take the antidote, and then press and rub the acupuncture points on his legs." I'm leaving, and a new batch of herbs has just arrived in the Imperial Pharmacy, and I have to pick and choose and hide the best. ”

Youshu screamed twice as a promise.

As soon as the old ghost walked on the front foot, the Seventh Prince woke up on the back foot, and found himself lying on the bed, his expression immediately tense, and he saw Youshu squatting on the pillow and looking at himself, so he eased his expression, "I just fell asleep?" Who picked me up? ”

Small straight. Youshu screamed three times, and the fat and short front paws were pounding under the pillow for a while, and finally pounded out a pill, held it in his mouth and handed it to the palm of his master, and then looked up with his face and his eyes eager.

"What is this? Where did you get that? The Seventh Prince half-sat up and pointed the pill at the setting sun and looked at it repeatedly.

Youshu pointed at his mouth with his paws, meaning to let him eat it quickly, for fear that he would not understand, so he pretended that his hind legs were paralyzed, and fluffed on the bed with his two front paws, and after crawling for a distance, he opened his mouth, stretched his neck, made a swallowing motion, and made a very appropriate whining sound, and then his hind legs stood up, jumping and screaming as if he was ecstatic.

The Seven Princes raised their eyebrows and were unmoved.

Youshu turned around beside him, kept slapping his arm holding the medicine with his fat front paws, urging him to swallow it quickly, seeing that he still didn't understand, he performed according to the previous routine. I was paralyzed, crawling, crawling, taking medicine, and suddenly I stood up, so happy! You should understand now, right? He ran back to his master, his dark eyes full of hope.

The little group is crawling, rolling, and jumping again, how can the Seven Princes not understand? He laughed so hard in his heart that he was about to knot, but he pretended to be ignorant on his face, but he was trying to trick Youshu into performing a few more times. He loved the way he fluttered on his bed, so lively, so vibrant.

Seeing that the master still didn't move, Youshu finally became a little anxious, crawled along his arm to his chest, held the pill in his palm to his mouth, and then gently opened his lips with his two front paws, and forcibly fed him.

The Seventh Prince didn't turn his head to dodge, but he didn't open his teeth, and asked vaguely, "Can this pill heal my legs?" ”

Youshu couldn't feed it for a long time, so she couldn't help but be a little frustrated. But he can understand his master, and no one will casually eat anything from his pet's mouth, especially a pill of unknown origin. He nodded his head again and again, and let out an anxious grunt from the tip of his nose.

"Where did you get that?" The Seventh Prince asked again.

Youshu couldn't explain clearly, so she could only pat the master's lips with her fat short paws, and then pat him on the cheeks at the end, but in the end she couldn't, so she had to throw the pill into his shirt first, and then pounce on his face and lick it violently, especially his lips, back and forth, inside and out, until he licked his closed teeth open.

Yes, that's it, don't close it anymore! He screamed loudly a few times, then wriggled his ass into his collar and searched for pills.

Somehow, the Seventh Prince was licked by him and his whole body was soft, and his pale cheeks also revealed an abnormal flush, and he felt that the two points on his chest were rubbed by him, very crispy, and hurriedly took him out, crying and laughing, "Don't make trouble, can't I eat it?" The words took out the pill from the placket of his shirt and prepared to put it in his mouth, but stopped at the last moment.

Eat it? Youshu looked at him with blank eyes, because he was too eager, and the hair on his body exploded unconsciously.

"How can I eat without water?" The Seventh Prince pinched the tip of his pink nose, and then raised his voice to let the palace maid waiting outside the hall pour water.

Seeing that the water was coming, Youshu was afraid that the master would regret it, so he hurriedly rushed over and grabbed the pill in his palm and fed it mouth-to-mouth. The Seventh Prince did not resist, and at the same time took the pill and the small tongue of Youshu was also swallowed, and then he drank the water slowly and methodically.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, I felt that the medicinal power had dissolved, and only then did Shu force the spiritual power, Ziwei Emperor Qi and the golden light of merit into his feet, and pressed the acupoints and Dao to the master. When the Seventh Prince saw him stepping on his legs, he thought he was playing, but unexpectedly, there was a pinprick-like stinging pain from the place where he was stepped on.

How can you feel it? He was horrified and said in disbelief, "Youshu, what you gave me is really an antidote?" Are you massaging my acupoint-way? ”

Youshu nodded again and again, and the little tail twisted too happily, and even the fart-strands shook with it.

The Seventh Prince held his fat tail and rubbed his ass again, his tone was very worried, "Youshu, are you a monster?" Did you come to me to repay your kindness? ”

Youshu shook her head first, and then nodded again, because she couldn't speak, she could only bark.

The Seventh Prince's mind was a little confused, and he pondered for a moment and then asked, "You're not a monster, but you're here to repay your kindness, aren't you?" "To be honest, when he learned that Youshu was not a monster, what he felt was not relief, but disappointment. These days, he often goes to look at some stories of goblins repaying his kindness, and then thinks of Youshu.

What will it look like to be a human being? And when? He even imagined many scenes, such as a moonlit night, a burst of white light flashed, and the fluffy ball that was originally lying in his arms turned into a person, a person with red hair, beautiful face, and pink skin. He must not be very old, and his dark eyes burst into tears because of fear, but because of the instinct of his intimate master, he drilled into his arms vigorously. I hugged him, comforted him softly, and then kissed him on the forehead, cheeks, and lips carefully......

These fantasies had appeared more than once in the dreams of the Seven Princes, making him both sweet and guilty. How could he have such a devotion to his pet?

But if Youshu is really a goblin, why not? How can an ordinary puppy be as smart as he is? All kinds of questions have been held in the hearts of the Seventh Prince for a long time, and now they have a negative answer, even if their legs are sentient, they are not happy at all.

"You're so smart, how can you not be a youkai?" The Seventh Prince wanted to pick up Youshu, but he scratched his paws, his face darkened in an instant, and he said sadly, "Youshu, don't guard against me, even if I know that you are a monster, I won't hurt you." You see, I also took the medicine you brought, which is enough to prove my trust in you, should you repay me with the same trust? ”

Youshu nodded helplessly, unable to understand why the master insisted on admitting that he was a monster. Strange as it is, his fat paws are still pressed and rubbed diligently.

Seeing the puppy nodding, the Seventh Prince's eyes slid through a bright light, and he said in a trembling voice, "You admit it?" Are you really a monster? Can you become-human? Inch by inch, the legs that had been felt were left behind by him.

With three questions in a row, Youshu didn't know which one to answer, and his meaningless barking couldn't explain his current situation at all, so he could only choose to nod.

The Seven Princes, who felt that they were about to fall into the abyss, instantly soared into the clouds and fog and floated into the sky. No matter how old he is, he is only a thirteen-year-old and a half-old boy, and it is almost difficult to restrain the ecstasy in his heart. His Youshu is a goblin, who can become a human being, and can always be by his side. No one knows how he was bent by the overwhelming despair when he learned from Xiao Shunzi's mouth that Youshu only had a lifespan of ten years at most. He even thought that he was poisoned and would not live long, which was a kind of luck. In this way, he can accompany Youshu to grow up together, grow old together, and die together.

But now, he wants to live, live well, because Youshu is likely to live for a long, long time.

"When will you become - human?" Barely holding back the ecstasy and anxiety in his heart, he asked in a dumb voice.

Youshu barked while pressing-rubbing, indicating that she didn't know. He also wanted to restore his body, but not now, at least until his master's legs were fully restored.

The Seventh Prince automatically completed the Dao, "That's right, you are still young now, and the Dao is shallow, maybe it will be another two or three years." Youshu, what do you look like? You're a goblin, you must be beautiful, right? ”

Youshu was extremely confident in her IQ and appearance, and quickly nodded her little head.

The Seventh Prince chuckled, his face flushed. When he was thirteen years old, the most surprising gift for him was Youshu, and the happiest moment for him was now. When Youshu finished rubbing his legs and lay down on the mattress with his belly turned up, he immediately scooped him up and put him to his lips and kissed him. This kiss was very light and soft, revealing a fervent desire and restlessness.

He casually touched his slightly felt legs and pulled Youshu into the placket of his clothes, then supported his upper body, moved to the wheelchair next to him with difficulty, and slowly turned the wheels and walked towards the desk. He polished the ink, spread out the rice paper, lifted the sheep's hair, and muttered, "Youshu, after you became a human, will your hair be black or white?" ”

Guessing that the master was going to paint a portrait of himself, Youshu hurriedly got out of the placket, crawled down his arm to the tabletop, and lit the thick black inkstone with his fat short paws.

"Your hair is black?" The Seventh Prince was obviously a little surprised, he thought that Youshu's hair color was the same as the color of his coat, it was pure white. However, black is better and less noticeable.

"Do you have a round face or a pointed face?" He asked again, and without waiting for Youshu to answer, he smiled first, "How can you have a pointed face with such a round-rolling appearance, it must be round, with some tender soft-flesh on the cheeks." ”

Youshu nodded frantically, wanting to give the master a thumbs up, but when he raised it, it was a fat claw. But the Seventh Prince had already understood, and laughed more and more low, and continued, "Is your nose high, is it not straight?" Is the mouth big or small? Are the eyebrows sword or curved? Are the eyes round or red-eyed? ”

Youshu opened her mouth to bark in a string, and then snorted twice in frustration.

The Seventh Prince rubbed his head, and his tone was extremely doting, "I understand, my Youshu must be a high-straight hanging gall nose; The mouth is not big or small, the shape is beautiful, and the lip color is pale pink, like a peach blossom blooming in March; Eyebrows......" He deliberately lengthened his tone and smiled under the gaze of Youshu, "The eyebrows can't be sword eyebrows, because they are too heroic, and they are very different from your appearance, they should be light and tangible, slightly curvy willow eyebrows." The eyes are round, the eyeballs are black and white, and the tails of the eyes are slightly upturned, which is very agile and refreshing. ”

All-in! Sure enough, I have a heart! Youshu was very surprised, dipped a little ink in her paws, drew two hearts on rice paper, and added two pairs of wings.

The Seventh Emperor Ying was extremely enlightened, and after a few glances, he muttered, "There are no colorful phoenix double-flying wings, and there is a little understanding in the heart, is this what it means?" My family has a beautiful family, and it is really brilliant! ”

Is this called brilliant? Youshu couldn't help but cover her face with her paws, expressing her shame, but she printed a few black plum blossoms on the snow-white fluff, which made the Seventh Prince Lang laugh. Laughing, he thought carefully for a while, then picked up the pen and slowly sketched, first the outline, then the clothing, and then the facial features, the outline and the costume took only a quarter of an hour to complete, but the facial features were full of thought, and each depiction must have been thinking for a long time.

After most of the hour, he put down his pen and stared at the painting, and a touch of amazement quickly slid through his dark pupils. He had long known that Youshu was already so cute as a puppy, and he would be beautiful and unique. However, seeing him was far more exciting than he imagined.

He stood a little farther away, looked at the painting, and looked at the puppy circling around it, and there was a burning heat in his eyes. When the restlessness of his heart subsided, he asked in a dumb voice, "Does this painting resemble your human form?" ”

Youshu nodded, shook her head again, wiped the ink off her paws a little, and then added two faint dots on either side of her cheeks.

The Seventh Prince's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "This is the pear vortex?" Do you still have two small pear vortices? ”

Based on speculation alone, the master was able to depict his appearance as if he had seen it with his own eyes. Youshu screamed twice, and had to express her admiration.

The Seventh Prince hugged the puppy, looked left and right on his face, and said with a low smile, "My family Youshu is really the cutest goblin in the world, and there is even a pair of little pear vortices." When you become a human in the future, I will poke and see. "And of course, to taste it.

Poking the pear vortex has always been the master's habit, and he can't change it for several lifetimes, Youshu has long been used to it, pounced on his face and licked it violently, and stretched out his dog's paws, poking the master's cheek in retaliation. The Seventh Prince held his pink-tender little paws and laughed loudly.

From this day on, a portrait was hung in the dormitory of the Seven Highnesses, and no one was allowed to touch it except for the eunuchs who sprinkled and swept it. It was also from this day that he became more and more cheerful and energetic, which made Emperor Jing feel very relieved.
