Lord Li speaks the truth.
"Princess, I would like to take this opportunity today to both tell you a funny story and to ask for your help.
The thing, with a red glow, landed in the courtyard of my residence.
Its entire body is pink and covered with a layer of fine fur. Its head and face look very ugly, with a few small bumps on the top of its head and a pair of wings on its back. Its body is the size of a newborn calf.
By the way, it lay on the ground and howled, and soon it was able to stand up. I didn’t know what it was, and I couldn’t bear to let it get wet in the rain, so I locked it up in a cage.
We asked people to feed it some food, but it was very picky and only ate raw meat. It would bite people if we let it out.”
After saying this, Lord Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The monster landed in his mansion with a red glow, like a hot potato. He wanted to deal with it but was afraid it was some kind of mythical beast. Even if it was a mythical beast, it was getting uglier and uglier.
I had this idea in mind at the time, but I didn't expect that I would actually receive a reward from the princess because of it.
Nangong Jiu listened to what Lord Li said and what he was thinking, and her brows furrowed more and more as she listened: "Oh? There is such a thing. Then after the court is dismissed, I will go with you to take a look.
What Lord Li said sounds interesting and suspenseful. I wish you three months of good luck."
Lord Li's face was filled with joy: "Thank you, Princess!"
The other ministers spoke one after another about their own affairs.
Nangong Jiu listened to the ministers while concentrating on listening to everyone's thoughts. When he heard two or three discordant voices, he raised his hand and pointed inconspicuously.
"A few days ago, I was bored, so I went to Cuihonglou to drink and have fun. There's a new girl there, she's so beautiful..."
Emperor Dongling quickly covered Nangong Jiu's ears.
The minister who was speaking realized what he had said and quickly covered his mouth, but he couldn't cover it up no matter what he did. He had to finish explaining what he had said.
The ministers couldn't help laughing as they listened.
It’s over, Master Yan is going to be punished now.
After listening to this, Emperor Dongling said calmly, "Sir Yan, since you are a minister in the court and your surname is Yan, how can you be so shameless? What do you want the people to think of you?"
Suspended from work, sent home to reflect on his mistakes for a month, and fined for one year's salary."
Nangong Jiu continued, "I asked you to tell funny stories, but Master Yan told you some scandalous things that were offensive to the ears. You will be punished with six months of bad luck!"
Several ministers who were pointed out by Nangong Jiujiu uncontrollably spoke out about the dirty things they had done, and Nangong Jiu gave them the corresponding bad luck one by one.
After these people came to their senses, they kept slapping themselves in the mouth.
Damn it, this is so weird, why are people telling everyone everything?
After the court session, Emperor Dongling brought Nangong Jiu back to the imperial study, and the grandfather and grandson burst into laughter.
"Jiu'er still has a solution. People who have done bad things can't hide even if they want to. Let's see if they dare to do bad things in the future."
Nangong Jiu nodded and said, "That's right, there's a price to pay for doing bad things. Oh, and I have to go check out that monster in Lord Li's house."
"Okay, go quickly and come back soon. We'll go directly to Kunning Palace later."
"good!"
Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing turned into a dog and a small broom respectively. Nangong Jiu rode Xiao Wang out of the imperial study and saw Lord Li waiting not far away.
"Princess!"
Nangong Jiu nodded: "Let's go, lead the way!"
Li Mansion.
Lord Li took Nangong Jiu directly to the room in the mansion where the monster was imprisoned.
When the monster saw someone coming, it was so excited that it kept howling and banging against the cage.
"Princess, it behaves like this when it sees people, so I had to ask someone to build this iron cage."
Nangong Jiu took a look and was shocked.
Isn't this just a ferocious beast cub? How did it end up here? Could it be someone from the demonic realm who died and was reincarnated, then went astray?
"Master Li, when did it come?"
"More than half a month ago, on the sixth day of September."
Nangong Jiu calculated in his mind.
The timing matches. Could it be that besides the high priest and Qiongqi, there are other important characters in the demon world?
Nangong Jiu searched his memory carefully and shook his head in denial.
No, if there was such a thing that day, there is no way I didn’t know about it.
I have taken away Qiongqi's inner elixir, so it is impossible for it to be reborn.
Could it be the high priest?
How is this possible?
Could it be that the high priest took advantage of his position and used some evil magic to reincarnate himself, but ended up making a mistake and turning into a ferocious beast?
Well, there is that possibility.
Thinking of this, Nangong Jiu said directly to Lord Li: "This princess admires you very much. How dare you leave something of unknown origin in the mansion?
Speaking of which, you and your family are really lucky not to have been eaten by it.
Do you know that although it is just a ferocious beast cub that was born not long ago, it is more powerful than an ordinary tiger.
You guys go out first and leave it to this princess to deal with."
Lord Li's expression changed drastically. After expressing his gratitude, he quickly retreated.
Xiao Wang opened the cage and released the ferocious beast cub. Unexpectedly, as soon as it came out, it pounced on Nangong Jiu with its fangs and claws bared.
Nangong Jiu simply flicked his hand and flipped it to the ground.
After a careful inspection, he asked Xiao Wang Xiaoxing: "What kind of monster is this? Have you seen it before?"
"I've never seen him before. He looks a bit like Qiongqi, a bit like Zhu Huai, and a bit like the Black Demon King. In short, he looks nothing like him at all!"
Nangong Jiu nodded: “I think it’s the masterpiece of the high priest.
It's only been born now, and it knows how to attack people. It will definitely cause endless trouble when it grows up. We can't let it go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he punched the ferocious beast cub on the head as it struggled to get up.
The cub twitched a few times and died.
Nangong Jiu took out its inner elixir and after a careful examination, he concluded, "This inner elixir is unique. I can now confirm that it was created by the high priest based on the characteristics of several ferocious beasts.
It seems that he wants to create a monster that can destroy everything for the demon world.
Unfortunately, the sorcery was not yet fully mastered, and the cub, who was supposed to be born in the demon world, was born in the mortal world by mistake, and was unlucky enough to be bumped into by me."
Nangong Jiu put the monster's body into his small pocket in a good mood.
"Let's go, let's go back!"
Lord Li, who had been waiting outside the house, heard the conversation between Nangong Jiu and Xiao Wang through the crack in the door and was trembling with fear.
Seeing Nangong Jiu coming out, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Princess, it's my fault. If I had known it was a ferocious beast, I should have killed it then."
Nangong Jiu glanced at Lord Li and said, "This princess will take it away and dispose of it somewhere else."
"yes!"
After leaving Li's Mansion, Nangong Jiu took Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing directly to Kunning Palace.
At this time, there was laughter and joy in Kunning Palace.
Empress Chen and the others were listening to a young eunuch recount an anecdote from the morning court session: "Those ministers revealed all their own scandals..."
Empress Chen was delighted to hear this: "Such interesting things can only be heard when Jiu'er is around. By the way, it's been so long since the court was dismissed, why hasn't Jiu'er come to Kunning Palace yet?"
The young eunuch bowed and said, "The princess followed Lord Li to his house to see the monster..."
