The Regent's little feral cat bites again

Chapter 16 Who sent you here?
Gu Chengyuan's eyes were cold from beginning to end, and after Mu Deze had finished speaking, he raised his head lightly, with a cold tone,
"Concubine Rou kindly gave me such a great gift, if I don't do something, wouldn't it be a disappointment to her?"

"My lord means..."

Mu Deze's eyes flickered, and just as he was about to speak, Xiao Ling hurried in from outside the hall, with thin sweat on his face, obviously very anxious.

"My lord, I have something important to report."

Gu Chengyuan's business was suddenly interrupted while chatting, and he frowned in displeasure, but he also knew that Xiao Ling wouldn't be so flustered if it wasn't for a major event, so he turned his eyes to Mu Deze and said indifferently,

"Master Mu, let's go back first, the king has made a decision about today's matter, so don't worry."

Mu Deze lowered his eyes and looked back: "Yes, I will retire."

After Mu Deze left, Gu Chengyuan glanced at Xiao Ling calmly, and asked, "Where's Xiao Qi?"

Xiao Ling managed to breathe calmly, and felt that he was being reckless just now, so he lowered his eyelids halfway and replied: "This subordinate has already sent it back to Ting Yuxuan."

Hearing the words, the corners of Gu Chengyuan's mouth slightly curled up, and he narrowed his eyes and asked calmly, "Tell me, what's wrong with Xiaoqi?"

Xiao Ling swallowed, and tried to calm his voice, but he still couldn't help trembling slightly: "Xiaoqi it... has become a spirit."

"..."

Even when Gu Chengyuan heard these words, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Ling twice more. It's really strange that such superstitious and superstitious words can still come out of Xiao Ling's mouth.

"say clearly."

Xiao Ling knew that Gu Chengyuan would not believe it when he heard these words, even he himself couldn't believe it, so he told Gu Chengyuan about the gambling.

After Gu Chengyuan listened, his face could still remain calm, but his eyes flickered faintly, which showed that he was still somewhat surprised.

"My lord, even ordinary people who have been in casinos all year round may not be able to practice Xiao Qi's skills, but she is a cat who can tell the points in the dice cup just by hearing. Isn't this a genius?"

Xiao Ling frowned, and couldn't think of a second possibility.

Gu Chengyuan lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then stood up and walked out of the hall.
-
Listen to Yuxuan Hall.

Xuan Yinruo reacted belatedly, Xiao Ling ran all the way back with her in his arms, and then left without looking back. The coherence of his movements was amazing.

Xuan Yinruo was stunned for a while, then blinked his clear pupils.

Could Xiao Ling be anxious?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, Xuan Yinruo nodded his head in a serious manner.

However, not long after, Gu Chengyuan stepped in from outside the hall in a white shirt, and called out in a deep voice, "Xiaoqi."

Xuan Yinruo stood up and looked around, and caught a glimpse of Xiao Ling who was neatly dressed behind him, touched his paws, and sighed inwardly, Xiao Ling's speed is a bit fast.

"come over."

Over there, Gu Chengyuan had already bent down slightly and opened his arms towards her. Xuan Yinruo rushed into his arms with a stride, squinting his eyes and rubbing against her comfortably.

However, Gu Chengyuan didn't intend to touch her, he directly pinched the back of her neck, and raised his eyes to meet his own.

Xuan Yinruo was taken aback for a moment, but she hadn't had time to cry out for pain, because for the first time, she felt the icy chill in the man's eyes.

Even his voice was mixed with a bit of coolness: "Who sent you here?"

If Xuan Yinruo didn't speak, the feeling of pulling on the back of her neck made her feel a little painful, but she didn't intend to struggle, she just watched Gu Chengyuan quietly, her green eyes were full of doubt and innocence, clear and bright, like a newborn baby Generally full of innocents.

"My lord..."

Xiao Ling's heart tightened behind him, he couldn't bear it, he didn't expect that his words would bring disaster to Xiao Qi, and he regretted it instantly.

She wanted to ask for mercy, but she also knew that at this time the prince would never listen to him, and might even be self-defeating.

Xiao Ling could only watch helplessly as one person and one cat watched quietly for a long time, and no one had the intention of speaking first.

Suddenly, Xuan Yinruo's emerald-like eye sockets had a little bit of mist, which quickly gathered into a teardrop and dripped down, moistening the white and soft short hair at the corners of the eyes, looking very pitiful.

Gu Chengyuan saw all this scene in his eyes, his eyes froze, his chest seemed to be squeezed by something suddenly, and there was a sour feeling of strangeness.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yinruo raised a small paw, lightly touched Gu Chengyuan's sleeve as if in fear, and then retracted quickly.

Going back and forth like this a few times, seeing that Gu Chengyuan didn't intend to get angry, he finally stopped on his arm slowly, calling softly,

"Meow~"

It seems to be begging for mercy, and it seems to be coquettish.

From Xiao Ling's angle, he couldn't see Gu Chengyuan's expression, but he could clearly sense that the aura around the prince was no longer as indifferent as before.

Xiao Ling's hanging heart finally let go, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the prince just strangled Xiao Qi to death without making a move.

Xuan Yinruo deliberately softened his tone, opened his innocent pupils, his round head tilted slightly, and looked at Gu Chengyuan pitifully.

In an instant, the strength in Gu Chengyuan's hands was already much weaker, and then he directly hugged Xuan Yinruo in his arms, and slowly and lightly kneaded the place where he just hurt, with some comforting meaning.

Buried in his arms, Xuan Yinruo accepted his overtures with peace of mind, a trace of successful cunning flashed across his eyes.

Although I don't know why Gu Chengyuan lost his temper, but it has something to do with today's gambling.

Thinking of this, Xuan Yinruo couldn't help being a little annoyed, and couldn't restrain the impulse for a while, so he went up to play a few dice, forgetting that she is a cat now, and she can't play these things at all.

Gu Chengyuan followed the cat for Xuan Yinruo, gave Xiao Ling a wink, told him to close the door and dismiss the guarding eunuchs, and then slowly said: "Why do you know how to gamble?"

Xuan Yinruo guessed that Gu Chengyuan hadn't completely let go of her guard against her, but just softened for a moment.

Xuan Yinruo blinked his eyes, took care, jumped from his arms onto the table beside him, dipped his paws in some tea, and began to draw on the table.

Soon, the water stains left a blurred mark on the table, which were two crooked traditional Chinese characters - "learned".

Learned?

Gu Chengyuan raised his eyebrows without saying whether he believed it or not, and asked again: "Where did you learn it?"

Xuan Yinruo stood still for a while, then repeated the action just now and wrote two words - "Dream".

Gu Chengyuan: "..."

Is Xiaoqi himself a fool or is he treating him as a fool?
Seeing that Gu Chengyuan didn't believe it, Xuan Yin waved his little paw anxiously, and the movement was too big, causing a few drops of tea to splash on Gu Chengyuan's face.

"..."

Xuan Yinruo seemed to be even more anxious, and began to crawl on Gu Chengyuan with both feet, making a motion to wipe his cheeks.

Gu Chengyuan pulled it off his body with some helplessness, and lightly reprimanded: "Sit down."

"Ow~"

Xuan Yinruo retracted his movements obediently, hid his two hind paws under his tail, folded his two front paws obediently, stood upright, and sat on the table waiting for Gu Chengyuan to ask questions.
