There was more than one snake in the house.

A few more are swimming down the edge of the window.

Cha Jiu was so frightened that he used his hands and feet at the same time, and went directly into Zong Yue's clothes.

"I've never seen cats teasing snakes, and it's the first time I've seen a cat like you who has been scared by a snake into a little bag."

Zong Yue teased, then pulled Cha Jiu out of his clothes and put it on the bed.

He pulled out the long knife beside the couch and cleanly disposed of the snakes in the room.

Only then did Cha Jiu understand how vigilant Zong Yue was.

Even when you fall asleep, you can quickly detect a snake that is barely moving.

Under the pillow, daggers and long knives are placed next to the couch at any time.

He was not allowed to have any living creatures around him while he was asleep, and that was not an excuse.

After a while, Yun An also rushed over, and when he saw the snake body in the prince's room that had been cut into several pieces, his face turned pale and he immediately knelt down.

"More than a dozen snakes slipped into Yan Guilou, and his subordinates failed to clean them up in time, disturbing the prince, please punish him!"

Zong Yue calmly wiped the blade with a white cloth and said, "Let Yunkang go and check." You clean up these things and take the punishment yourself. ”

"Yes." Yun An is not dissatisfied.

Doing things by the side of the regent, everyone is fair, and there are clear rewards and punishments.

This time he was derelict in his duties, and it was normal for him to receive fifteen lashes.

Zong Yue returned to the bed and looked at the small bulge in the middle of the originally flat quilt.

The bulge shook like chaff.

It's so pitiful and cute.

Zong Yue was afraid that she would be bored, so he lifted half of the quilt and comforted: "Okay, there are no snakes now, go back to sleep." ”

Cha Jiu silently covered the lifted quilt with his paws, and continued to hide in the quilt, pretending to be invisible.

Zong Yue: "...... You don't want to go back to the cat kennel? ”

Cha Jiu was silent: Who's a good person wants to sleep in a cat nest.

In the end, Zong Yue compromised.

He put the long knife back on the couch, moved Cha Jiu to the inside of the bed with the quilt, and lay down himself, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Seeing that he was no longer expelling himself, Cha Jiu became emboldened.

She walked directly to Zong Yue's hand and lay down, used his warm palm as a pillow, squinted her eyes comfortably and slumped to sleep.

Zong Yue lifted his eyes and saw that there seemed to be a cat's head on his palm.

“……”

That's it.

What can you do if you don't give in to the cat you picked up?

……

There was a cat lying beside him, and Zong Yue didn't plan to fall asleep.

But for some reason, listening to the subtle, very regular breathing sound of the cat, Zong Yue naturally felt a sense of relaxation and sleepiness, and unconsciously fell asleep for half an hour.

This is one of his rare hearty sleeps.

When he woke up, the cat that had been sleeping at his hand somehow lay on his chest, and the tip of his wet nose was breathing and sleeping sweetly.

"Lord Wang." Yun Kang's voice sounded outside the door.

Zong Yue gently took down Cha Jiu and put it on the bed, and also covered the corner of the quilt on her belly.

Then he put on his robe and walked out in silence.

Yun Kang made it clear that the news he had checked: "This batch of snakes was temporarily sent by the head of Yujin Garden to buy them, saying that they were going to be used to make snake soup at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet tonight, but the palace people in the kitchen were not optimistic, so they let these snakes escape everywhere." ”

Zong Yue's dark robe was draped casually, and he sat lazily and arbitrarily on the chair.

Knuckles tapped on the table, eyebrows and eyes mocking.

"The dishes for the birthday banquet were drawn up two months ago, and in the end, they still need to be seen by the Queen Mother, can it be changed by a small Yujin Garden manager?"

Yun Kang said again: "It should have been ordered by Your Majesty, and the head of this Yujin Garden is also from Your Majesty and the Lin family." ”

The Lin family is the maiden family of the little emperor's biological mother, and now Lin Guogong is the ancestor of the Son of Heaven.

However, the Lin family has always been mediocre and talentless, and the first emperor was not allowed to reuse it when he was there, but only later relied on Lin Guifei to be killed and sold miserably, and sympathized with the little emperor who also lost his mother, so that he won a position of a prince with little real power.

In order to hold the little emperor's heart tightly on their side, the Lin family often trampled on the queen mother and the regent in private.

Therefore, the little emperor is so disgusted and hated the two, and a big reason comes from the Lin family.

At this time, a cat that had just woken up walked out of the inner room with sleepy eyes, and slowly jumped onto the upholstered chair beside Zong Yue and lay on his stomach.

"Are you awake?" Zong Yue held her in his arms, and his slender fingers slowly brushed the messy hair on her body.

"Meow woo......" Cha Jiu replied lazily.

Zong Yue rubbed her fleshy chin in exchange for a painless paw.

Yun Kang pondered for a moment, and then said, "Could it be related to the Queen Mother?" The Queen Mother has always been at odds with our royal palace, and perhaps she acquiesced to His Majesty's actions this time. ”

Cha Jiu was sober now, and howled at Yun Kang.

The emperor did stupid things, don't get involved with her!

Zong Yue put her head in her big palm, pinched her meowing mouth, forced mute, and said:

"There is no real grudge between me and the Queen Mother, it's just that His Majesty doesn't want us to get too close, so we just do what he wants."

mentioned the Queen Mother, Zong Yue's eyes saw a serious and majestic face that was obviously in the mood for love, full of stereotypical loyalty.

Although he had some respect, he also felt pathetic.

Zong Yue lowered his head and gently stroked the tea Jiu in his arms, his voice was almost inaudible: "She and I are just pawns of the first emperor." ”

Cha Jiu was slightly stunned, raised his head to look, and happened to bump into the self-deprecation and loneliness that flashed in his eyes.

Yunkang didn't hear clearly: "What? ”

"Nothing." Zong Yue's tone returned to normal: "There is no need to investigate the matter of releasing the snake, pass on my order, dismiss the head of Yujin Garden, punish two hundred rods, and investigate and deal with the relevant people together." ”

Two hundred rods, that is what it means to take human life.

Zong Yue knew that dealing with the head of Yujin Garden was to slap the little emperor in the face.

But so what?

The injuries on Cha Jiu's body when he was brought back, as well as the revenge that he was almost bitten by a snake just now, all of them have to be recovered.

only uprooted a group of minions buried by the little emperor in the opera garden, Zong Yue felt that it was too cheap for him.

……

In the Hanzhang Building, the little emperor was furious.

"Zong Yue, Zong Yue! How dare he! ”

The little emperor's face turned pale, and he swept the Xiuyu incense burner placed in his hand to the ground.

The palace people who served trembled and knelt down.

Those snakes were deliberately released by him, these are not ordinary snakes, but spiritual snakes used by wizards to find people and things, and it costs hundreds of taels of gold to raise one.

If you can't return to the building openly, then send a snake to explore.

Who knew that Zong Yue actually had all the snakes hacked to death!

and also killed the head of Yujin Garden, as well as a number of people, to death

At this time, there was still Lin Guogong's daughter Chen Lin kneeling on the ground, and her husband was the head of Yujin Yuan Chen, who was killed by a cane an hour ago.

Chen Lin's tears fell like rain, mourning relatives.

Lin Mincong, the third son of Lin Guogong, who was supporting her, was heartbroken and angry, and reprimanded Zong Yue in front of the little emperor.

"Who doesn't know that Manager Chen is the person hand-picked by His Majesty? But the regent still said that he would kill it, cut it first and then play it, and he didn't put His Majesty in his eyes for half a point! ”

"According to what the ministers have seen, the regent's domineering heart is clearly revealed!"
