Chapter 444 Little Beast
Although Nan Xi didn't ask, Yinshuang quickly reported a piece of news that made people have to think about it.
Except for Xie Shoufu, the ministers summoned by Rong Yu to discuss matters in the imperial study, the other ministers Ling Fan, Xuanyuan Yao, Xuanyuan Qi and Chu Hongyi were all young upstarts. Ling Fan and Xuanyuan Yao had been Rong Yu's confidants for many years. Military general.
Xie Shoufu was in charge of the military department, and Chu Hongyi was also a general.
Although Xuanyuan Qi was here to accompany his wife, since Chu Hongyi had taught him everything he had learned, he was also a man proficient in military strategy and formations.
Experts gathered together, and the specifications of such a discussion inevitably made people think too much.
Nan Xi frowned slightly. Was there something going on at the border with another country?
"Is there any unusual news recently?" Nan Xi looked at Yinyue, "Have you heard of it?"
Yinyue shook her head: "Master Xie and Master Mo are responsible for the intelligence here in Dongling. If they hear any news, they will report it directly to the prince. For the time being, my subordinates and Qingyang will be responsible for the gossip inside and outside the palace."
Nan Xi understood.
The secret guards who follow their master closely naturally do not have that much time to understand the news from the outside, especially the trends of various countries in the world, which are all responsible for special personnel.
Nan Xi guessed that most of the information in Rong Yu's hands should come from Jiuxiao Pavilion's intelligence network. Those ubiquitous forces can collect important information in the fastest time and send it to Rong Yu as quickly as possible. the place where it is located.
Nan Xi had a strange feeling in her heart.
The Prince of Northern Xinjiang and the Prime Minister of Nanyue are currently staying in Dongling and have not yet returned, but their stay is not too long to cause Nanyue and Northern Xinjiang to raise troops and mobilize many dignitaries.
The presence of Ye Qingcheng and Yunting in the Shu Kingdom was stirring up internal strife in the court, and an undercurrent was raging. The emperor and princes were too busy taking care of themselves, how could they have the energy to cause trouble again?
The power struggle between the regent of Xiqi and the young emperor could not be resolved overnight.
Not to mention Dazhou, with King Yun here and the right-hand man assigned to him by Rong Yu, Dazhou should be relatively stable.
So why did Rong Yu summon so many generals early in the morning?
Nan Xi took a sip of tea and looked quietly outside the window. She was thinking about something when suddenly a pure white petite figure jumped into her sight. At that moment, she thought she was dazzled because it was completely white outside. The little things that pass by are the same color as white snow, and it is normal for their eyes to be dazzled.
Nan Xi was about to open the window to take a look, when suddenly a ball of snow came towards her and hit the window lattice in front of her.
Nan Xi was startled, and she subconsciously stepped back. Yin Yue, who was standing beside her, had a sudden change of expression. She opened the window and said coldly: "What's going on? Who is acting arrogant outside?"
The guards outside the Taisho Palace heard the commotion and rushed towards the window. They looked left and right and saw no suspicious figures. However, it was true that Her Majesty the Queen was frightened, so many guards knelt down in a swarm: " His Majesty--"
"What's going on?" Yin Yue stared at the obvious snow stains on the window, raised her hand to wipe the remaining snow on the window lattice, and asked in a cold voice, "Who did this?"
Nan Xi's eyebrows deepened slightly, thinking of the little white figure just now, she said calmly: "Everyone, get up, I'm not scared at all."
Yin Yue was worried. The snow on the windows was clearly the result of a snowball thrown by someone. How could there be such a bold maniac in the Ouchi Palace, the Taisho Palace where Her Majesty the Queen lives?
It's a crime worthy of death.
During the time when Yin Yue was asking questions, Yin Shuang had already sneaked out quietly and checked all the places on the ridges, pavilions, tree trunks, and corridors around the palace that could hide people, but there was no one there. Saw someone suspicious.
Nan Xi said again: "Everyone, go down."
The guards looked a little uneasy, fearing that Her Majesty the Queen would make the Regent angry. If the charge of poor protection came up, it would be a light matter to chop off their heads.
Although Nan Xi spoke in a calm tone and showed no signs of displeasure at this time, they still did not dare to take it lightly. They quickly returned to stand in line, cheered up, and patrolled more cautiously and on high alert.
Eyes look in all directions, ears listen in all directions.
Don't try to escape their eyes even at the slightest sign of trouble.
Yin Yue was afraid that the cold wind would hit Nan Xi, so she quickly closed the window, but her eyebrows were still locked: "Your Majesty, I still think this matter is suspicious——"
"It's okay, don't worry." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "I seemed to have seen a ferret just now."
Ferrets?
Yinyue was stunned and turned to look out the window suspiciously. Where did the ferret come from?
"Originally I thought it was my own eyesight, but this snow ball was thrown by a ferret. I must have read it correctly." Nan Xi chuckled, and then felt suspicious, "But why are there ferrets in this palace? The emperor's grandfather and Do any of his concubines have such a pet?"
Yinyue shook her head: "I've never heard of it. I'll ask someone to ask?"
But she thinks it's unlikely.
Ferrets are very spiritual and do not easily recognize their masters. Which of the concubines in the harem can afford to keep them?
"No need to ask." Nan Xi picked up the teacup and said in a brisk voice, "If it came for me, it should still show up. It's just being naughty at the moment."
As he spoke, he added slowly: "I have a hunch that it should be coming for me."
Yinyue was surprised: "How can your Majesty be sure?"
"Well, probably just by feeling——"
Before they finished speaking, a squeaking sound suddenly sounded outside. Nan Xi and Yinyue turned their heads to look at the same time, and sure enough they saw a little snow-white thing holding on to the window. With four claws, it screamed at Nan Xi: "Squeak! Zhizhi!”
Nan Xi stretched out her hand to open the window, but Yin Yue quickly reached out to stop her: "Master is in danger."
"Squeak!" The little thing bared its teeth at Yin Yue fiercely, "Squeak!"
Yin Yue frowned and stared at it warily: "Where are you from?"
"Squeak!"
"Who told you to come?"
"Squeak!"
"If you don't tell me, I will let the guards outside catch you and stew you in an iron pot. It will be fragrant and delicious-"
"Squeak, squeak!"
"Yin Yue." Nan Xi laughed, "Don't scare it."
While speaking, she quietly looked at the little beast clinging to the carved window.
It was snow-white all over, with beautiful fur without a trace of mixed colors. It looked fierce and bared its teeth, but it was inexplicably cute, like an ignorant little baby.
Especially at this time, it seemed that it had not noticed that it was surrounded by a large group of guards behind it. It kept shouting at Yin Yue, as if it was arguing, and even looked like it would bite Yin Yue to death if it couldn't win the argument.
Fortunately, Yin Yue was skilled in martial arts and had seen the world, otherwise she would have been scared to death.
Nan Xi was about to order Yin Yue to open the window and let it in, but she saw the guards suddenly kneel down in unison, and then Rong Yu walked to the window, stretched out his hand to grab the little guy's neck and lifted it up, then turned around and walked in through the palace door.
