    Chapter 63 The evil cat concubine who confuses the country 24

    In the side hall, the head of the courtyard was giving medicine to the people on the couch.

    “What happened to him?”

    The head of the hospital turned around when he heard the sound and hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and saluted, “Reporting to the Queen Mother, Mr. Jiang’s chest injury is too serious. Although he has not died, he is really…”

    Before the head of the hospital finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed.

    “You go down first.”

    “Wei Chen, please leave.” The head of the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the medicine box and exited the side hall.

    Xie Rong sat on the edge of the couch, leaned over and opened his lips slightly, exhaling into Jiang Yebai’s pale face.

    The person who was still sleeping suddenly started coughing.

    Xie Rong smiled: “Are you awake?”

    Jiang Yebai opened his eyes, and what came into view was the dreamy face.

    He almost thought it was another dream.

    “My heart doesn’t hurt anymore, does it?” Xie Rong gently placed a hand on his heart.

    Jiang Yebai’s cheeks turned red and he turned away, “No…it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

    “That’s good.” The smile on Xie Rong’s face grew stronger and he picked up the bowl of medicine, “Drink the medicine.”

    After he finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Yebai’s reaction, he grabbed Jiang Yebai’s chin with one hand and poured a bowl of medicine into it very roughly.

    After all, only if Jiang Yebai is well can he go to the morning court tomorrow.

    Jiang Yebai choked and coughed a few times. He lowered his head and wiped the concoction from his lips. The tips of his ears were burning.

    The Queen Mother actually fed him medicine herself.

    Is this too unruly and too intimate?

    While thinking wildly, Xie Rong’s patience has reached its bottom, “You have a good rest and remember to go to the morning tomorrow morning.”

    Jiang Yebai was stunned for a moment, then nodded: “Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern.”

    Early morning the next day.

    The ministers were waiting in front of the Jinluan Hall early as usual.

    “Prince Regent, what’s wrong with your face?” an official asked with concern.

    Gu Qiansi leaned on the stone lion next to the steps, and several courtiers gathered around him to chat.

    “It’s nothing, just scratched by a cat.”

    The official teased: “The Prince Regent is a cat with a very bad temper. If he is scratched harder, his appearance may be disfigured.”

    Gu Qiansi glanced sideways at the official, “What do you know? If he had a lighter temper, wouldn’t he be too ordinary?”

    The official hesitated and shut up.

    “Your Majesty has arrived——”

    “The Queen Mother has arrived——”

    Everyone almost thought they heard it wrong. When they looked up, they almost fainted on the spot.

    The new emperor pulled the Demon Queen’s sleeve and walked beside her with an attached expression, like a mother and son.

    It’s only been one night, how could this happen?!

    How powerful was this demon queen’s intoxication to the Lu family?

    All the courtiers turned to look at Gu Qiansi, their eyes constantly glaring.

    As the regent, why don’t you come out and say a word?

    Gu Qiansi touched the slap mark on his face, hummed softly, and stepped forward to follow.

    The ministers had no choice but to give up and follow behind silently.

    “If there is something going on, go ahead, if there is nothing going on, leave the court -!”

    “I have this to say!” An old minister came out with a jade scepter in his hand, “The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the Queen Mother is invited to return to the palace.”

    “No!” The new emperor stood up, glanced at Xie Rong, and said urgently, “I must ask my mother to accompany me to the morning court.”

    “Since all your beloved ministers say that I am young and need a regent to assist me in government affairs, why can’t it be done if the queen mother is connected to my mother and son?”

    “But-”

    “It’s a good thing that Your Majesty has such filial piety,” Jiang Yebai’s lips were still pale, but his posture was neither humble nor arrogant, interrupting the other party, “Nowadays, both the government and the public are talking about Your Majesty’s identity, especially the royal family members. The Queen Mother is the first wife of the late Emperor, with a noble status. His Majesty recognizes her as his mother. It is a great blessing that the former harem and the harem can be unified.”

    Jiang Yebai rarely showed up like this, and the civil servants behind him couldn’t help but hesitate.

    “Prince Regent, please say something!” The military general on the right could no longer hold back and pushed forward to whisper to Gu Qiansi, “Jiang Yebai was stunned by the Little Demon Queen at first glance. We can’t let them lead us by the nose!”

    Gu Qiansi said perfunctorily: “Yeah.”

    The general’s eyes were so anxious that he said, “Then you should tell me quickly!”

    “Well, tell me,” Gu Qiansi glanced at the squinting and sleepy cat demon above.

    So cute.

    I came all the way to the court, maybe because I was greedy for small fish.

    Gu Qiansi touched the slap mark on his face and chuckled.

    General: “…”

    The general returned to his position with a numb face.

    Xie Rong got up early and came to the morning like this every day.

    At first, Gu Qiansi always relied on him when she had disagreements in order to make him happy.

    But later, things got out of his control.

    In his eyes, a kitten chasing its own tail was just curious and playful, so it coaxed the new emperor, who had never seen the world, into running around and came to listen to politics behind the curtain.

    When I went to the imperial study room, I could occasionally see the little demon cat lying sleepily on the desk as soon as he opened the memorial.

    That’s how kittens are meant to be, all they need is a meow once in a while to get everything they need.

    But gradually, he discovered that there was someone behind the scenes of the little cat demon. Not only did he come up with ideas that would make everyone surrender, he could also target the Gu family without leaving any trace, leaving him unable to tell the story of his suffering.

    And the dizzy Jiang Yebai obeyed him in everything and restricted him at every turn.

    If Jiang Yebai hadn’t deliberately concealed the relationship between the little cat demon and the queen mother, how could he have troubled the little cat demon?

    It’s all Jiang Yebai’s fault!

    Gu Qiansi had always felt that he had a gentle temperament and had never been exposed to the bad habits of a soldier or ruffian during his years in Saibei.

    When he returned home today, he smashed all the decorations in the house.

    Who is it… Jiang Yebai, or another man?!

    He will definitely figure it out.

    Gu Qiansi went to a small attic next to Qifengtai every day to keep an eye on it. He sat by the window, and could clearly see the palace door of Qifengtai through the crack in the window. He did not eat or drink, and relied on people from the mansion to deliver lunch and dinner.

    That night, he finally saw the clues!

    In the middle of the night, he actually saw a man in black entering Qifeng Terrace.

    It took me a full hour to come out.

    He is still wearing a mask, who knows what kind of man he is.

    Gu Qiansi did not alert the enemy, turned around and left quietly.

    Three days later, he finally got information from the secret guards in the mansion.

    It turned out that this person was the imperial master who stayed behind closed doors in Xuanqing Palace.

    What kind of imperial master is he? He is clearly a deceitful disciple, and he dares to try to interfere with the innocence of the little cat demon.

    Three more days passed.

    After going to court, Gu Qiansi went straight to Xuanqing Palace.

    He kicked open the door of Xuanqing Palace, and happened to bump into the imperial master who was pretending to be a ghost and dared not show his true face to others, sitting by the window, making wine and tea, it was so comfortable.

    As he got closer, he realized that the wine was the wine that the little cat demon always loved to drink, and the tea was also the orange-flavored tea that the little cat demon coveted most.

    “Xuanqing Palace is not accepting guests today. Please come back, Prince Regent.” The Imperial Master poured himself a cup of tea with a cold tone in his tone.

    Gu Qiansi sneered, lifted up his clothes and sat down on his own.

    “I’m not here as a guest today.”

    “That’s why he came to investigate.”

    “That’s right,” Gu Qiansi stared at the dark eyes behind the Imperial Master’s mask, “In the past few days, I found out some things in the prison of the Criminal Department.”

    “Master National Preceptor, is the man you imprisoned in the Prison Prison five years ago really just a butcher?”

    “Of course not,” the Imperial Master twitched the corner of his lips curiously, “He is still the sinner who bit Dafeng Xiangrui. Even feeding the dog is an advantage for him.”

    “Really?” Gu Qiansi threw the bundle in his hand on the table, “You might as well take a look, what is this?”

    The Imperial Master paused and looked over.

    There was only one human bone in the bag.

    A human bone with scriptures engraved on it.

    “Everyone in Dafeng has heard a rumor that the imperial master was ordered by heaven to carve scriptures on the flesh and bones of his left arm. Whenever he looks at the stars and performs divination, a golden light will shine.”

    “You are not the Imperial Master, who are you?” Gu Qiansi said coldly.

    “Isn’t he a national master?”

    The two people confronting each other turned their heads at the same time.

    Xie Rong walked in, glanced at the human bone, and looked at Gu Qiansi coldly, “How dare you bring in this dead person who bit me?”

    “Xie Rong, he is not a national master at all. You are simple-minded, don’t let him deceive you!” Gu Qiansi stepped forward to greet him.

    “You can leave the palace,” Xie Rong looked at the Imperial Preceptor. He seemed not surprised. He lowered his head and smiled at the Imperial Preceptor. “I will interrogate him personally.”

    Since the last time he was slapped in the prison of the Criminal Department, the little cat demon never paid attention to him again. Gu Qiansi was afraid of making him angry again, so she held her breath and left.

    He is a dignified regent, and he has managed to survive like this.

    “What do you want to interrogate?” the Imperial Master asked hoarsely.

    Xie Rong’s fingertips gently touched the cold mask on the Imperial Master’s face, “Do you know the consequences of lying to me?”

    “If you want to seize the power of regent from the regent, you can’t do without me.” The Imperial Master grabbed his wrist and stared at him with dark eyes, with some self-righteous revenge. “The Queen Mother, even if I deceive you, if you abandon everyone in this palace, not even Jiang Yebai, not even the new emperor, will never abandon me.”

    “The Queen Mother, I’m afraid you will never be able to get rid of me in this life.”

    Xie Rong couldn’t help but laugh.

    His laughter grew louder and he lay on the man’s shoulder, trembling all over.

    “Lu Wenjing, is this what you call revenge?” Xie Rong burst into tears while laughing, his eyes watery, so clear that you could see the malice in his eyes at a glance, “You want to use me to deal with Gu Qiansi, so that we can kill each other?”

    “It’s a pity, I already guessed it.”

    Lu Wenjing: “…”
