Chapter 144: Suspicion

Yuan Zhen's voice suddenly returned to its former yin owl, and the few cats at his feet stopped eating in an instant, and hesitantly took a few steps to the side.

Yuan Zhen immediately stretched out his hand to them with some regret, wanting to pull them back, but due to Bai Ling's sight, the hand that was stretched out by instinct retracted like an electric shock.

Bai Ling lowered his gaze, smiled indifferently, and stretched out his hand to let Yuan Zhen look at the fish in his bowl.

"I'm here to feed the cats, too." She opened her mouth in response.

Yuan Zhen stared at Bai Ling deadly, neither of them spoke, only the wind blew through the branches and leaves above their heads, making a rustling sound.

Yuan Zhen took a step forward, his voice still carrying a terrifying threat, but he deliberately lowered his volume, "Then what are you sneaking around hiding!" ”

Bai Ling raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Zhen, only to see that Yuan Gonggong's face had turned crimson.

She leaned over and put the big bowl in her hand on the ground, then took a few steps back, bowed slightly, and whispered, "I saw someone coming from a distance, so I hid with the bowl first......

As he spoke, Bai Ling raised his head and said softly, "I said that the cat here looked like someone was taking care of it a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be you, father-in-law." ”

"You...... Shut up! Yuan Zhen looked around, the surroundings were silent and empty, and no third person passed by.

Bai Ling bowed again, "I'm sorry for disturbing my father-in-law's leisure." ”

Her voice sounded peaceful, but Yuan Zhen only felt a hot heat burning from his heart to his cheeks, as if he was doing something unseemly, and was broken by Bai Ling's glance.

"I'll ask you again...... What did you just see! ”

Yuan Zhen stepped forward to grab Bai Ling's shoulder.

Bai Ling quickly took a few steps back, raised his hand slightly, and pressed it slightly in the air, as if he wanted to press down Yuan Zhen's invisible fire.

She looked at Yuan Zhen and said softly, "I guess my father-in-law wants to say, let me not tell what I saw today?" ”

Yuan Zhen was stunned, and the corners of his mouth sank a little, but before he finished speaking, several kittens had already tried to run to the bowl that Bai Ling had put down, and began to eat again.

The kittens had their heads on top of their heads, and despite the bowl being big enough, they clumsily scrambled.

Yuan Zhen looked at the little beast and the little bastard who ate out unceremoniously with a complicated expression, and shouted their names twice in his heart.

"But I might have to warn my father-in-law," said Bai Ling, still with his eyes down, "I see that the fish over there seem to be finished dishes......

Yuan Zhen raised his eyebrows, gritted his teeth and said, "So what?" ”

"I just want to persuade cats not to eat things that are too salty, because cats have no sweat glands, and excess salt can only be excreted by the kidneys, so feeding them human meals will increase the load on their kidneys' metabolism......" Bai Ling pointed to the contents of his bowl, "Just take this paste made of boiled fish and minced meat as cat food, the key is not to put salt." ”

Yuan Zhen hurriedly glanced at the bowl brought by Bai Ling, and replied coldly, "...... Don't worry about it! ”

Bai Ling tilted his head and looked at Yuan Zhen for a while, then didn't say anything more, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Yuan Zhen drank him again, "Our family warns you, if you tell someone else what you saw today-"

Bai Ling turned his head and said with a smile, "It's good that my father-in-law has never seen me here today, and I will treat it as if he has never seen my father-in-law." ”

With that, Bai Ling picked up the hem of his clothes and ran away briskly.

After Bai Ling walked away, Yuan Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, he walked to the side of the wooden stake and sat down a little light-headed, wiped the sweat on his neck with his sleeve, and pinched the clothes on his chest and shook it a few times, and this inexplicable panic subsided after a long time.

A few well-fed and well-fed old cats lay at Yuan Zhen's feet at this time, fell to the ground, and showed their bellies to Yuan Zhen.

"Get out!" Yuan Zhen swept lightly and flipped the cat over, "It's all a group of white-eyed wolves with no conscience......"

After a while, he got up and walked over to the large bowl that Bai Ling had left behind, and the cats had eaten almost all the fish in it. Yuan Zhen stretched out his hand, twisted a little minced meat with his thumb and index finger and tasted it.

"I really didn't put salt in it......"

……

"Your Majesty, this way." Qiu Shi led the way in front of Emperor Jianxi.

Emperor Jianxi followed behind Qiu Shi, and in addition to Huang Chongde, there were only three or five eunuch guards.

He walked silently on the way to Xianfu Palace, and the scenery along the way already felt a little strange to him.

If you count it carefully, he probably hasn't been to Xianfu Palace in nearly two years.

Concubine Ning was also calm, and she didn't come to her to invite her once.

"Alright." Emperor Jianxi suddenly said, "I know the way, you go to Xianfu Palace first and tell Concubine Ning that I want to come." ”

Qiu Shi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, when you started driving from the Qianqing Palace, the news was already β€”β€”"

"The master calls you to go, and you go." Huang Chongde interrupted on the side, and then handed over a look.

Qiu Shi blinked, and then he received his life, and ran in the direction of Xianfu Palace.

"You don't have to follow." Emperor Jianxi turned around again and said to a few people behind him, "I want to walk alone on this road." ”

In the echo of the eunuchs and guards, Huang Chongde helped Emperor Jianxi to walk forward slowly.

The sunlight shone between the towering palace walls on either side, casting the stubby shadows of the two on the ground. Emperor Jianxi didn't use an umbrella, and Huang Chongde didn't mention it, and the master and servant walked forward a short way in silence.

"How's going on at the hospital?" Emperor Jianxi suddenly asked.

"It's calmed down," Huang Chongde replied in a low voice, "but after all, these doctors are all half scholars, and they have a big temperament, and the slaves and maids feel that they have been pressed by the Jinyi Guard this time, and if they don't get the scene back, they probably won't live in peace in the future." ”

Emperor Jianxi nodded, "You will also send someone from the palace to take a look later." To appease, but also not to let go, the scale you hold. ”

"Yes." Huang Chongde said. "The slave and maid have already ordered to go down yesterday, the master can rest assured. That Bai Shijun is also under house arrest for the time being, this person is honest, it's good now, he can't stand the toss of Jinyiwei. ”

Emperor Jianxi laughed, "You think about it thoughtfully......"

Huang Chongde bowed humbly.

"You don't have to follow me to Xianfu Palace," Emperor Jianxi said in a low voice, "You now go to Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother in person, see what she is doing, and recognize who you are." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be. Huang Chongde said in a low voice.

Although Emperor Jianxi didn't point it out, Huang Chongde had already understood itβ€”the token that Bai Ling showed outside the Tai Hospital had obviously reached Emperor Jianxi's ears.

Huang Chongde's eyes were slightly downcast, this is actually nothing strange, even though he can be regarded as the chief housekeeper outside the palace of Emperor Jianxi, but in addition to him, the emperor still has countless eyeliners who monitor everything in the world.

There are probably only things in this world that he doesn't want to know, and there are nothing he can't know.

"There are some things that shouldn't be out there, and if they do, they have to be taken back." Emperor Jianxi said softly.

"Yes." Huang Chongde replied.
