It was a new year. The first day of the new year was after the 30th day of the new year. The weather was not as windy and snowy as yesterday. The warm sunlight shone on the ground and into the hearts of the people. The people led their families out of their homes and went to the Shing Wong Temple to burn incense and pray. The journey was very lively. Although the snow on the road made it difficult to walk, they did not feel that it was difficult to walk when they saw the neatly arranged stalls on both sides, heard the cries of hawkers, and the warm smiles on their faces. Moreover, he had his most important family to accompany him.
On the street leading to the Shing Wong Temple in the south of the city, the innocent laughter of children, the kind congratulations of adults, the hawkers 'hard work, the steam rising from the hot food, and the incense held by people, all of these intertwined into a lively scene. It formed a festive atmosphere for the new year, making people involuntarily smile.
The Lan Mansion was peaceful. Gu Moxi lost to the black cat in the end. The bowl of fragrant and nutritious congee with chopped green onions was all in his stomach. The soup was no longer hot. He took the porcelain bowl from Gu Moyan and drank it in one gulp. His handsome eyebrows instantly formed a " Chuan " character. He put down the bowl and his handsome face frowned.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”Seeing Gu Moxi's sad expression, Gu Moyan asked.
Gu Mo Xi waved her hand," No, it's just that the medicine is too bitter. I don't know which imperial physician prescribed it."”
Upon hearing this, the black cat lying on Gu Mo Xi's chest shook its triangular ears and the corners of its mouth opened a little. She knew that Tao Yao would not let go of the opportunity to mess with him. She was afraid that he would continue to drink this bitter medicine for a few days.
Gu Moran responded with a smile and continued," Well, since you're fine, Big Brother will return to the palace first. He has to enter the palace to attend the family banquet in two days."”
"Yes, big brother. I won't send you off.”
The two brothers brought Little Yuanzi and left the Lan Residence together. In the carriage that was returning to the palace, Gu Moran sent secret guards to keep an eye on them. Gu Moyan, who was sitting beside them, was puzzled." Why is Big Brother like this?"”
"Third Brother, do you know that the brothels, gambling dens, and many shops in Shengyang City have changed owners in secret during this period of time? I have sent people to investigate openly and secretly, but they have never gotten an answer. Today, after coming to the Lan Manor, I suddenly remembered that this place was originally a deserted house that no one cared about. I don't know when it was decorated so elegantly. The three of us didn't know anything about it. Besides, the martial world hasn't been peaceful recently. The killer organization is bloodthirsty, and the intelligence organization Ice Silkworm has changed their faces almost at the same time. Whether it's their style or their actions, it shows that their master has long changed. Now, the martial world is in an uproar, and it looks like this turmoil will continue. These changes happened at the same time as the Lan Mansion, so I can't help but associate them together.”
It turned out that Gu Moran, as the ruler of a country, was not unaware of the changes in Shengyang City and the martial world. It was just that he had not found out who was behind the scenes. The martial world and the imperial court were like two different worlds with their own laws. However, those people in the martial world were ultimately the people of Tian Sheng City. He could not really ignore them. Shengyang City was also the capital of a country. Naturally, he had to pay more attention to the situation at the feet of the emperor.
Gu Moyan listened to these words and thought about it for a while before understanding what his big brother meant. However, he couldn't help but worry when he remembered that his second brother was staying in the Lan Mansion. He said," I understand what my royal brother means, but if the person behind the scenes has evil intentions, wouldn't my second brother be in a wolf's den?"”
"This is also something that Zhen is worried about, but it is not without benefits. Second brother is so capable, if the person behind the scenes really has other motives, he will definitely be discovered. At that time, we can spread out an inescapable net.”
The emperor's thoughts were always deeper than ordinary people. Gu Moran said this because he believed that Gu Moxi had enough ability to protect herself. However, Gu Moyan didn't feel good about it. He felt that his big brother was using his second brother, but he couldn't solve it other than that. Who asked Gu Moxi to live there voluntarily? He probably couldn't make his second brother leave even if the sky fell.
After the visitors left, Gu Moxi lay down and pulled the blanket. Her warm hands gently stroked the black cat's back. She watched as it slept so sweetly and her phoenix eyes were filled with tenderness. If Lan Xi opened her eyes at this time, she would probably be addicted to it. Her body was still very weak after recovering from the illness. After a while, she fell asleep with the black cat.
At this moment, the black cat that was sleeping suddenly opened its eyes. Its black cat eyes gently shifted to the magnified handsome face beside it. Its meaty and soft cat paws gently rested on his cheek. Feeling the smooth and tender skin under the meatball, it sighed inwardly. Why was this man's skin so good? At such a close distance, there was not a single thick pore, let alone any bumps.
He retracted his claws and nimbly stretched his body out from under the blanket. He arched his back and stretched lazily. The black cat nimbly jumped off the ground and walked elegantly to the bottom of the window. He looked back at the tall bed and nimbly jumped onto the tea table. He raised his claws and pushed open a crack through the window. The sudden drop in temperature outside made him shiver uncontrollably. He did not care about the window that was still open. Anyway, the secret guards of the Prince's mansion would close it.
Yan and his secret guards had never thought of hiding it from the other party when they moved from the Prince's mansion to the Lan residence. In fact, there was no way to hide it. Ever since they appeared, they were discovered by the other party. Both parties knew that as long as their master did not give the order, nothing would happen. Just as Lan Xi thought, the moment she stepped out of the courtyard, a secret guard appeared and closed the window tightly. Then, he disappeared without a trace.
When they returned to Xi Garden, the black cat smelled the fragrant smell of fish as soon as it entered the door. It immediately ran over and jumped onto the table to eat. Mei Sheng had already removed the fish bones of the Golden-scaled Phoenix Fish. There were very few bones in the Golden-scaled Phoenix Fish. There was only a big bone spur in the middle. In order to make it convenient for Lan Xi, she would peel the fish meat in advance and put it into the bowl every time.
"Miss, Gu Moran has already noticed something.”Mei Sheng said as she helped the black cat to serve the dishes. As soon as Gu Moran left, there were a few more hidden guards near the mansion. Wasn't this obvious?
Yuanyuan, who was standing beside him, was also staring at the black cat's eyes with a red heart. It did not disgrace her personality of loving cute creatures. Her left hand was eager to reach out but she did not dare to do so. Although the black cat in front of her was still her master, how could she dare?! This was simply torturing her.
Hearing this, the black cat shook its upside-down triangular ears. It only raised its head after it finished eating the fish in the bowl. Its pink little tongue licked its lips as if it had not had enough. Then, it said to Mei Sheng," So be it. Tell Soul Eater and Tao Yao not to accept business from the royal family and officials. It's troublesome."”
"Yes, Miss." After curtsiing, Mei Sheng put away the plate and pulled Flower Addict Yuanyuan out of the house.
Gu Moxi slept until after lunch. After taking the medicine, her body wasn't as uncomfortable as it was in the morning. She felt more energetic and got out of bed to put on her clothes. After washing up, she looked for the black cat in the room and went to Xiyuan without success. She didn't listen to Housekeeper Zhu's advice. He was young and skilled in martial arts. He didn't care about a small cold.
After entering the Sunset Garden, Gu Moxi immediately saw the peach blossom spirit Tao Tianhe and the black cat in his arms. His eyes turned cold and his face darkened. This guy was sure that Tao Tianhe had taken advantage of his sleep to forcefully carry the black cat. Without saying a word, he strode forward and reached out to hug the black cat.
Tao Yao would not let him get away with it so easily. She turned around and dodged the outstretched hand. She raised her eyebrows and looked at him provocatively. She smiled and said," What is Your Highness doing? If you are sick, you should be resting in your own room. What are you doing here at Xiao Xi Xi's place?"”
"Cut the crap and return Xi 'er to me.”Gu Mo Xi ordered as she had met her nemesis, especially when Xi 'er was still in her arms.
Tao Yao laughed as if she had heard a joke." Your Highness, aren't you afraid of spreading the disease to Xiao Xi Xi?"”
These words were very successful in blocking Gu Mo Xi's mouth. She suddenly resented the cold and looked at the black cat in Tao Yao's arms with resentment, as if she was saying that he had suffered a great grievance.
Miraculously, the black cat that was sleeping woke up as if it had sensed something. It opened its eyes and stared at Gu Moxi. Its meaty paws pressed on Tao Yao's soft forearm. The slight force spread into his heart. Ah, ah, he also wanted to raise a cat.
Just as he was thinking about it, he felt the weight in his arms lighten. The black cat had already jumped out of Tao Yao's arms and circled around Gu Moxi twice. It raised its small black head to look at him and even made a murmuring "meow ~"
The corner of Gu Mo Xi's lips couldn't help but curl up. She squatted down and scooped the black cat into her arms, carefully feeling its weight and softness, warming her heart. She raised her eyebrows at Tao Yao, her provocative look obvious, as if to say: Look, Xi 'er still chooses me! Tao Yao gritted her teeth in anger.
Lan Xi lay in Gu Moxi's arms, listening to the heartbeat in his chest and closed her eyes to sleep. It was still more comfortable to stay in the arms of a living creature. Although the peach blossom fragrance on Tao Yao was very good, his body was quiet and his body temperature was cold and not as warm as Gu Moxi's. If Gu Moxi knew about this, she would probably vomit blood.
At this time, Mei Sheng came in with a tray and saw Gu Mo Xi smiling as a greeting. He put down the tray and pulled Tao Yao out. Lan Xi's lunch was naturally served by him.
Just like feeding in the palace, the two parties did not change because of the different places and times. Gu Moxi fed Lan Xi first, wiped her mouth and hands, and then put the black cat on the bed. She took off her coat and clothes and hung them on the hanger. He opened the satin quilt and lay down, reached out to scoop the black cat into his arms before hugging it to sleep.
Gu Moxi and the black cat spent two days together, as if they had returned to the time when they were in the Prince's mansion. The Fifth Ghost finally saw how much the Prince doted on Lan Xi at that time. This was simply spoiling her. He fed her, bathed her, combed her fur, and even made a small dress for her. Of course, they were not able to wear it on the black cat.
Two days later, the royal palace held a family banquet in the Wanyue Palace where the empress lived. Only the emperor, the concubines, princes, princes, and princesses could attend. The good brothers and sisters of the princes and princesses were also invited. Naturally, the closeness between the brothers and sisters was comparable to that of family members.
Gu Moxi had already recovered from her cold after resting for two days. What a joke. How could it not be good to drink such a bitter medicine? There were still four hours before the family banquet, so he carried the black cat into the palace. Because he had been recuperating in the Lan residence for the past two days and could not attend court, he deliberately wanted to discuss with his royal brother in advance. Lan Xi said that it would be lively after dinner tomorrow. The Five Ghosts were extremely happy, especially Taoyao and Yuanyuan. They were already arranging programs.
