The second day of the first month.

It was not yet dawn, and it was dark and dreary.

Ruo Ling finished his cultivation, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and opened his eyes.

On the side, the little baby woke up at some point, and was looking at Ruoling intently, and when he saw Ruoling coming over, he opened his mouth and was happy.

Ruoling couldn't help but smile and picked up the baby.

was about to tease the child, when suddenly, a golden light flashed on the baby's body.

Worried about what happened to the baby, if the mind moved, the aura instantly gathered in the eyes.

Ruoling saw that the little golden dragon belonging to the little baby had become thicker and bigger. Before, the little golden dragon was the size of her thumb, but now, it was as big as a baby's arm.

What happened?

Why did dragon qi skyrocket so much all at once?

The little baby was unconscious, and stretched out a pair of small hands to Ruoling, and the little mouth was still happy.

Ruo Ling coaxed him, guessing in his heart that something might have happened to the royal family.

After dawn, Ruo Ling didn't have time to ask Gu Ming to help inquire about the royal affairs, but at this time, he heard the bell.

The sound of the bell echoed in the air, one after the other.

Immediately afterward, Ruoling felt a sad mood spread through the air.

This is?

Soon, Ruoling knew that it was the emperor who died.

The emperor died, then the crown prince should ascend the throne next, and all the dragon energy of the first emperor was returned to the prince. And the little baby has more dragon energy, does it mean that the little baby is the prince's child?

Ruoling can't be sure of this speculation, but compared to before, this is the direction of investigation. Ruo Ling returned to the house and told Black Bean about his speculation, and asked it to focus on investigating the princess's maiden family.

Black Bean took the order and left.

For the next few days, Ruoling was a little surprised. She thought that in this ancient period, the emperor died and the whole country had to mourn together, and it was an exaggeration to say that the whole country was wearing linen and filial piety, but there would definitely be a period of time when she was not allowed to marry or have fun.

However, the reality is that except for the first three days, starting on the fourth day, the New Year's celebrations in the county town continued, and those who should be married continued to get married, without delay.

If the spirit is lost, is the influence of the royal family in this plane so low?

Could it be that under the influence of that fellow countryman more than 800 years ago, the royal family had only one symbolic role?

Gu Ming cleared Ruoling's confusion, "No, the military power and political power are in the hands of the emperor, it's just that this is the rule of the founding empress." ”

Speaking of the empress, Gu Ming's expression changed again, full of longing and admiration.

"The empress believes that the ruler is to let the people live a good life, and the imperial power is not granted by heaven, but by the people. Since you enjoy the power given by the people, you must think about the people, and you must not let your own private affairs affect the lives of the people. ”

The empress said that life and death, marriage and marriage are all personal matters, and the people can know about it, but there is no need for the people to do something. And as a royal person, he is not allowed to bother the people to do something. ”

Ruo Ling also admired this fellow a little, ideological progress is one thing, but it is another thing to put this progressive thinking into practice.

has supreme power, but can still restrain desire, it's really powerful.

The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Black Bean's subordinates in the capital didn't bring any good news, but another of its subordinates brought Niu Xiaomei out of the customs.

At the beginning, Ruoling and Niu Xiaomei discussed the contact method through the rats managed by black beans. However, Niu Xiaomei is also from a beast, so she doesn't need to open a smart mouse to deliver messages, she only needs to be smarter.

Niu Xiaomei is out of customs, but Ruo Ling doesn't need to send the baby over for a while. After this period of investigation by Heidou's subordinates, Ruoling has learned that the capital is not peaceful now, and several princes are secretly acting to seize the throne.

At such a sensitive time, it is okay for Black Bean's subordinates to investigate, after all, the rats are not human, who will pay attention to the actions of the mice? Even, who can realize that the actions of the rats have other intentions?

But if Ruo Ling personally participated in the investigation, it would be a bit dangerous.

In human society, once a person takes action, it will inevitably leave clues.

Even in this era when technology is not developed, there are no monitoring tools and various trace detectors, Ruo Ling does not dare to be careless.

Anyway, this child has been raised for so long, what is there to raise it for a while longer?

Let's wait for the capital to calm down.

Ruo Ling waited with peace of mind, one was waiting for the news of Black Bean's subordinates, and the other was waiting for Niu Xiaomei's visit.

After Niu Xiaomei got out of the customs, she felt bored, so she sent a message that she would come to Ruoling and ask Ruoling to take her for a walk in the mortal world.

On this day, Niu Xiaomei had already packed everything before dawn, and she waited for dawn to go to Ruo Ling - Niu Xiaomei still knew some etiquette in the mortal world.

At this moment, Niu Xiaomei suddenly noticed a familiar aura, she couldn't help but be surprised, and walked over with the aura.

didn't go far, Niu Xiaomei saw the comer, and sure enough, it was her good friend Maxima.

"Brother Ma, long time no see. ”

Maxima was wondering, it felt a familiar aura as it galloped, but although it was familiar, it was a little strange, so it stopped to check the situation.

Unexpectedly, this was the breath of Niu Xiaomei after her transformation.

"Little Sister Niu?" Qianli immediately looked at Little Sister Niu and circled around her twice.

Niu Xiaomei smiled happily, and deliberately turned around to show Maxima, "It's me, I've survived the transformation difficulty." ”

Maxima was happy for her, but she was still puzzled, "Why did you transform in advance?" It felt the aura around here, and was even more puzzled - this is not a blessed place.

Niu Xiaomei told Maxima about the matter one by one, and after talking about her own affairs, she couldn't help but become curious about Maxima, "Brother Ma, why are you here?"

When Maxima, who was curious about the benefactor in Niu Xiaomei's mouth, heard this question, he immediately became sad, and immediately told his story one by one.

After spitting out the bitter water and venting a complaint to his friend, Maxima felt much more comfortable, which was really a long time coming.

After hearing this, Niu Xiaomei was deeply sympathetic, Brother Ma, who was originally born in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, but now because of that fox, not only did he leave the best Cave Heaven Blessed Land, but also had to keep running so that he couldn't settle down and continue to cultivate.

"That's right, little sister Niu. Looking at the humanoid Niu Xiaomei, Maxima suddenly had an idea, "I can't get rid of that fox for too long, it will come soon, you can help me make a scene and drive that fox away." ”

Niu Xiaomei was happy to help, and asked at the moment, "What kind of play?"
