The Regent's little feral cat bites again

Chapter 48 The cat demon has become a spirit?
Now that I have said it, I regret it a little.

Although Gu Chengyuan treats her differently from others, it doesn't mean that he can tolerate himself telling him what to do.

It might even be annoying.

Xuan Yinruo's hands hidden in his sleeves tightened unconsciously, and he listened intently to Gu Chengyuan's next answer.

Gu Chengyuan's voice became very low and deep, and slowly sounded in the hall: "Fame is also very important, if you can't guarantee to protect her for the rest of your life, you can't easily promise your fame."

A strange feeling crossed Xuan Yinruo's heart, and then he raised his head and regained his ignorance and innocence: "Can't the prince protect Xiao Qi for the rest of his life?"

Gu Chengyuan's dark purple pupils became deeper and deeper, as unfathomable as the vast starry sky, making it impossible for Xuan Yinruo to tell what he was thinking.

Gu Chengyuan stared at Xuan Yinruo for a moment, then suddenly looked away, as if he didn't want to bring up this topic again, and ordered in a deep voice: "Go to sleep."

Xuan Yinruo blinked his big clear eyes, his long eyelashes curled up just right, and seemed to think seriously for a while before solemnly announcing,
"If the prince can't protect Xiao Qi, then let Xiao Qi protect the prince."

After saying that, he bent his mouth, and without looking at Gu Chengyuan's expression, he turned around and went to the bed in the inner hall to lie down. The bell on his wrist was crisp and melodious, piercing into people's heart.

Xuan Yinruo seemed to be really sleepy. Not long after he lay down on the bed, he heard the sound of even and soothing breathing.

Gu Chengyuan sat in the same place for a long time, quietly looking in the direction of the bed curtain, his eyes were full of intense.

Even he himself didn't realize that what he said just now believed in the identity of the girl in front of him, and he even revealed his sincerity unconsciously.

Gu Chengyuan's eyes turned cold, he immediately got up and walked out of the hall, and came to the side hall next door, where Xiao Ling was sternly warning the guards who had neglected their duties today,
Seeing Gu Chengyuan, his expression changed a lot, he waved them away, and then walked to Gu Chengyuan's side and whispered,
"My lord, my subordinates have severely punished the imperial guards guarding today, and this will never happen again."

Gu Chengyuan didn't seem to pay attention to what Xiao Ling said, he responded casually, and then ordered lightly: "Go and find out if what the woman said today is true."

According to what she said, she disappeared in Huaqing Palace twice and was stopped by the forbidden army. It is not easy to fake this matter, but judging by her determined appearance, Gu Chengyuan probably already knew the result.

But he still wanted to make sure again, as if in this way, he could show that his trust was based on facts, not because of...that woman.

"Yes." Xiao Ling glanced in the direction of the main hall, and seeing that Xuan Yinruo didn't come out, he probably guessed the reason.
"Then, does the prince need his subordinates to prepare another bed?"

"No need, you go and get the memorial sent during the day."

Gu Chengyuan didn't feel sleepy at the moment, his thoughts were disturbed a lot by this woman who suddenly appeared tonight, so he needed to do something to calm his mind.
-
Xuan Yinruo didn't fall asleep on the bed, she clearly heard Gu Chengyuan coming back not long after going out.

During this period, Xiao Ling came over again, as if to deliver documents, Gu Chengyuan also whispered to him to keep his movements light, for fear of waking up the sleeping person on the bed.

Xuan Yinruo still kept his steady breathing on his face, but his heart was already in a mess.

Tonight's development was too smooth, she didn't know whether it was because Gu Chengyuan let down his vigilance or did not take precautions against her.

In his heart, what kind of position does Xiao Qi occupy?
According to the Yushifang incident, more than a month has passed, does Gu Chengyuan still think about using her to deal with those political opponents with ulterior motives?

Xuan Yinruo found that even at this time, she still couldn't figure out Gu Chengyuan's thoughts.

Xuan Yinruo's thoughts were mixed, and somehow he remembered Gu Chengyuan's explanation of fame today, and from his tone, it seemed that he was very concerned about fame.

There have never been any women in his family, and naturally there is no title for them, so why...

When he mentioned these two words today, did Xuan Yinruo feel like he had experienced something because of his status?
Xuan Yinruo didn't think of a reason, and fell into a deep sleep under Gu Chengyuan's nose.

A night without dreams.

Gu Chengyuan approved the memorial all night, and it was not until dawn. He pinched his tired forehead and glanced at the bed. Xuan Yinruo, who was still in human form, was sleeping soundly, and hugged his arms in a naive manner. Xiao Qi's posture is exactly the same when he sleeps.

Thinking of this, Gu Chengyuan's eyes became more smiling, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Seeing that it was still early, he leaned on the couch and squinted for a while, but he did not expect that he actually fell asleep after squinting.

When he woke up again, he was tossed by the touch of fluff. Gu Chengyuan opened his eyes, but his eyes were still sleepy and lazy. After seeing the things in his arms, he suddenly woke up a little bit.

The fat, white kitten was rubbing its head against his chin affectionately, the tip of its tail dangling back and forth, brushing against the back of his hand, bringing a burst of numbness.

Seeing him waking up, the kitten "meowed" very excitedly, the tip of its tail swung in a wider arc, and raised its paw to point to the bedside with a little excitement.

Gu Chengyuan followed her gaze, the quilt was messily thrown aside, the girl's figure from last night was no longer on the bed, only a few lotus root pink court ladies' dresses were placed, as if to prove that there was really someone here last night lie down.

On the other hand, Xiao Qi jumped onto the desk and looked at Gu Chengyuan with a sullen expression, as if to say, "Now you should trust me."

Gu Chengyuan's eyebrows darkened, and just as he was about to speak, Xiao Ling's voice came from the door: "My lord."

Gu Chengyuan narrowed his eyes, and said softly, "Come in."

Only then did Xiao Ling push open the door, and when he saw the kitten on the table, his mind went blank for a moment, and he even forgot what he wanted to say when he came in.

"Little...Little Seven?"

Xiao Ling swallowed, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. After seeing the clothes on the bed in the inner hall, he instantly felt that this world was too mysterious.

No matter how many times you hear the story, it is not as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes.

And the cat in front of him seemed to show off to him on purpose, raised a small paw to beckon to him, and snorted in response: "Meow~"

Xiao Ling almost lost his footing, this is... the cat demon has become a spirit, right?
Xiao Ling diverted his gaze with difficulty, and tentatively asked: "My lord, do you want to find a master to take a look?"

"...??"

Xuan Yinruo understood right away, he actually regarded himself as a monster, grinned his teeth in an instant, made a very angry look, and threw himself at Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling was already scared, but being attacked so suddenly, he staggered two steps in fright, and fell directly to the ground.
