    Chapter 52 The evil cat concubine who confuses the country 13

    It snowed heavily in the middle of winter, making it difficult to walk in the palace. Palace guests coming and going in the corridors all wrapped their winter clothes tightly.

    But it was as warm as spring in the Yangxin Hall.

    The bed curtains on the dragon couch seemed to have never been raised since they were lowered.

    Xie Rong’s stomach has never been flat in the past few days.

    Lu Wenjing finally regained some sense, touched Xie Rong’s bulging belly with her big hand, frowned and said, “You can’t eat it, it’s about to burst.”

    Xie Rong didn’t have a big belly, but when he thought that it was all luck that made his belly round, he felt frightened.

    “I want to eat! I want to eat! If you don’t give me something to eat, you’ll die!” Xie Rong’s originally lazy eyes changed and he immediately became fierce. He wrapped his legs around him and grabbed his hair with one hand to start a tantrum.

    Lu Wenjing’s eyes suddenly darkened, her lower abdomen tightened, and she leaned down again.

    Jiang Yebai followed the old minister and knelt in front of the Yangxin Hall.

    After about a stick of incense, the door of Yangxin Hall opened.

    The sweet aroma is looming and penetrates the tip of the nose, which is particularly familiar.

    Jiang Yebai followed everyone into the main hall. Through the screen, he could vaguely see the emperor sitting beside the couch.

    “Your Majesty, please come to court early!”

    Lu Wenjing’s voice across the screen sounded more indescribably lazier than usual, like a satiated bird of prey after eating: “Dear ladies, do you want to resist the edict?”

    The ministers were speechless, but a snow-white arm emerged from the bed curtain behind the emperor and rested on Lu Wenjing.

    “You are not very good at being an emperor. Anyone can break into your house and come to demonstrate to you.” Xie Rong rested his chin on Lu Wenjing’s shoulder, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with ill intentions, “If I were you, I would teach them a lesson.”

    Lu Wenjing circled his wrist and rubbed it gently, “What lesson?”

    “First capture them and lock them up in prison for a few months, and torture them every day. This will naturally serve as a warning to the monkeys.

    If someone is disobedient again, just dig out their hearts and hang them in front of the palace gate to show the public.” Xie Rong licked his lips excitedly, the malice in his eyes almost overflowing, “You are the emperor, what else do you do with such disobedient ministers?Could it be that without them, your throne would be unstable?”

    The old minister outside the screen was startled when he suddenly heard another voice. He vaguely guessed its identity. He was even more frightened when he heard the vicious instigation of this noble concubine.

    Although their Majesty usually has a bad temper and is quite self-centered, he always has some respect for these old ministers, so how could he be provoked by a few words.

    “Okay,” Lu Wenjing lowered his head, his eyes were unfocused, and he smelled the fragrance on Xie Rong’s temples, “I’ll do whatever you want.”

    [Host, what did you do to the protagonist?】The system sat on Xie Rong’s shoulder.

    “It’s just a little bit of magic,” Xie Rong clung to the man, absorbing the man’s luck bit by bit, like a beautiful dodder that was parasitic on the man.

    “How can I make him obedient without using some magic?” Compared to dealing with Lu Wenjing impatiently, Xie Rong preferred such a simple and crude method, so he remembered a secret method to control the human mind recorded in the secret book.

    Being so unaware of the situation would not only make Lu Wenjing completely lose his mind, but also make the man listen to his words unconsciously.

    [Host, don’t you know the words in the secret book?] I have also read the banned book of the Civet Clan, but many of the words in the book are symbols with strange shapes, and even the system cannot decode it.

    “So what? Back then, my spiritual roots were completely useless, but I could still self-destruct. Didn’t I find a forbidden book? What does it matter if I don’t recognize some of the words? I never deviate from my sect. How can this demonic method and cultivation be different?” Xie Rong didn’t care, “Isn’t he obediently listening to me now?”

    [The host should be careful. The Dafeng Imperial Master in the original book is very powerful. He was the one who killed the villain!】

    Xie Rong wouldn’t take it lightly. It’s not like he had never died before. Even if he died, he would drag Lu Wenjing on his back.

    “Didn’t you hear what the noble concubine said? Drag them all down and send them to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment,” Lu Wenjing said calmly, “Trespassing to the Yangxin Palace without permission, and you don’t take me seriously. This is the consequences.”

    The imperial guards guarding outside the palace heard the order, came in, picked up the old minister, who was only a handful of old bones, and dragged him down.

    “Your Majesty! The loyalty of my ministers can be learned from the sun and the moon!”

    “You misunderstood the words of the evil concubine and harmed the loyal and good. How is it different from the ignorant king!”

    The door to the Yangxin Hall closed mercilessly.

    Lu Wenjing lowered his head and kissed the side of Xie Rong’s neck.

    But while they were kissing, it suddenly came to nothing.

    Lu Wenjing felt lost and opened his eyes.

    “Meow!” On the dragon bed, Xie Rong, who had transformed into a cat, shouted at him angrily.

    Seeing that he didn’t speak and only stared at himself, Xie Rong scratched the back of his hand with a claw.

    He has obviously eaten so much and taken the blood of Lu Wenjing, how could he change back?

    Xie Rong was so angry that when the curse words came to his lips, they all turned into meows.

    Lu Wenjing pinched the back of his neck, lifted the cat up, touched the little country cat’s round belly with his palm, and said thoughtfully:

    “Is it because you’ve eaten too much?”

    “Meow! Meow! Meow!” Xie Rong waved his four claws in the air, but he could only scratch the air.

    The disgusting protagonist actually dares to complain about eating too much!I’m going to scratch your face!

    Lu Wenjing couldn’t help laughing and opened her mouth to bite his cat’s paw.

    Xie Rong’s meowing became louder and louder, and the other three paws stepped on the man’s face with great resistance.

    “Okay, I’ll let the imperial doctor come and take a look.” Lu Wenjing picked up the cat, rubbed his protruding belly, and walked to the imperial desk.

    He glanced at the pile of memorials on his desk and suddenly realized that he had been so confused these past few days that he had been hooked on the couch by a local cat for so long.

    Even the old minister who had just come to invite him to the morning court was sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

    Lu Wenjing’s face was pale, and he thought about how his cat could harm him. These veterans, who pride themselves on being clean and honest in the court, dared to break into the Yangxin Palace without permission. They simply didn’t take him as the emperor seriously.

    How could the emperor, who ascended the throne at a young age and had been talking about what he was doing since he was young, tolerate this group of people disobeying him.

    There was a certain sweet fragrance left in the temple, the same fragrance that flowed from Xie Rong’s legs during midnight lingering.

    Lu Wenjing lowered her head and buried herself in the belly of the little native cat. She took a deep breath and felt lighter than ever before.

    Everyone told him that he was the emperor, he wanted to be a wise king, and he had to control himself.

    He could not let down the late emperor, the civil and military officials, or the common people at dawn. He was covered with a dragon robe and his words and deeds were imprisoned by twelve strings.

    Lu Wenjing even had the absurd illusion that he was like a doll that was forcibly determined by a pair of hands. He had to follow a predetermined line until the end of his life since he was born, and he was never allowed to do anything that deviated from this line.

    He seemed to have walked along this line for a long time, until he felt numb and tired, but he could only keep walking.

    Until he picked up this little native cat, the thread he was about to walk was suddenly taken away by the playful kitten as a ball of thread, biting and scratching it, and finally turned into a knotted ball of thread.
