Junior brother?

Eleven, who was trimming the candle wick nearby, heard the name again and blurted it out for some reason.

"Who is this little junior brother that the little princess often mentions?"

When Xiao Ruyu saw him asking, she opened her mouth to explain.

[Junior Brother is...]

"alright."

Before she could finish her words, Doctor Yang suddenly interrupted her.

Xiao Ruyu looked at him in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

"Don't bring past lives into this life. Don't break the karma."

Doctor Yang pretended to be mysterious and touched his beard which had not yet grown.

Xiao Ruyu could only hold back her words.

Seeing that the two were unwilling to talk, Eleven did not continue to ask, but the mystery in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

Three days passed in a flash.

Imperial Physician Yang was sorting letters in his study when a servant came to report.

"Sir Yang, we have searched the city from top to bottom these days, but we still haven't found the person you mentioned."

Although it was an expected result, Xiao Ruyu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed for a moment.

Why can’t we find the person behind the scenes?

Doctor Yang saw that she was in a bad mood and tried to comfort her.

"Don't worry, little princess. There is no news about the person behind this at the moment."

"But locust control has been effective, so we just need to look for other clues."

This is all we can do for now.

On the way back to the room, Xiao Ruyu caught a glimpse of the wild rabbit.

[By the way, I promised to give the little black dog some compensation. ]

She suddenly remembered the little black dog and pulled Eleven to deliver the wild rabbit over.

[Dogs should also eat rabbit meat, right? ]

Eleven spoke up to remind her, "Little Princess, you'd better make the rabbit into broth and send some over."

He looked at the rabbit that weighed ten pounds and couldn't bear to feed it all to the little black dog.

Xiao Ruyu held her chin in her hand, feeling that there was some truth in what he said.

[Then let's go to the kitchen and stew the rabbit into soup and send it over.]

The Zhenling Mansion is different from the palace. Since Zhenling Li was dismissed, all the servants have been dismissed.

The two of them had to do it themselves. They plucked the rabbit, cut it into pieces and threw it into the pot to cook.

An hour later.

Xiao Ruyu opened the pot and was delighted by the aroma.

【The little black dog will definitely be happy! 】

Eleven took a bowl, filled it with rabbit meat, and followed her to find the little black dog.

The little black dog was curled up at the door, lying lazily on the ground.

A fragrance wafted over, and it immediately sat up.

Xiao Ruyu placed the rabbit meat in front of it and started communicating with it using his spiritual power.

[Little Black Dog, I came here this time to thank you for telling me the news about the bad guys a few days ago.]

The little black dog's eyes sparkled and his mouth was watering as he sniffed the rabbit meat in front of him.

"Are these all dogs'?"

Seeing Xiao Ruyu nod, it immediately started to eat voraciously.

【Slow down, don't choke. 】

Xiao Ruyu touched its head with a smile.

After a hearty meal, the little black dog lay on the ground comfortably with his belly exposed.

"You are a very nice woman."

Xiao Ruyu sighed and sat down next to it on the lawn.

[It’s just a pity that the person was not found. ]

The little black dog suddenly sat up and sniffed his nose.

"Woman, I smell a scent, it's the person you're looking for!"

【real?】

Xiao Ruyu rolled over and got up, shaking the little black dog excitedly.

"Slow down... I'm going to vomit."

【Then take me to catch him! 】

Xiao Ruyu loosened the leash of the little black dog, and it ran out in a flash.

【Eleven, let’s catch up with it! 】

The little black dog was running in front, and Xiao Ruyu was following closely behind.

After walking a few steps, the little black dog grabbed a man's clothes and started barking.

“Woof woof woof!”

Xiao Ruyu was delighted and hurriedly followed.

But when she saw the man's face, she was dumbfounded.

“Master?!”

The little black dog was seen holding Doctor Yang's clothes tightly in its mouth, refusing to let go at all.

Doctor Yang was also confused. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of the little black dog.

Seeing Xiao Ruyu walking towards him with a shocked look on his face, he was confused.

"What's wrong, little princess? Is there something on Master's face?"

He touched his cheeks back and forth and found nothing unusual.

[Master, are you a bad guy?! ]

"ah?"

Doctor Yang gave a puzzled look.

【Xiao Hei, stop biting. 】

At Xiao Ruyu's command, the little black dog fell to the ground.

But she still couldn't accept this reality and stared at Doctor Yang intently, trying to find some clues on his face.

[Master, could it be that you have turned evil?! ]

Doctor Yang's face wrinkled up, and he didn't understand what she meant.

Just when the situation was becoming awkward, Eleven carefully noticed that the little black dog seemed to be licking something.

He squatted down and saw that there was a small wet spot on Doctor Yang's trouser leg.

A meaty aroma came from there.

"Doctor Yang, did you eat the rabbit meat from the kitchen?"

Eleven stood up and asked.

Doctor Yang came to his senses and suddenly realized.

"That rabbit soup you mentioned is really delicious."

Xiao Ruyu also saw the wet marks on his trouser legs and several black lines on his head.

【Master, did you spill the soup? 】

Doctor Yang scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "The bowl is a little hot, Master didn't hold it firmly..."

Looking at the little black dog still lying beside his trouser legs, everything could be explained.

[Master, the little black dog just told me that he smelled the scent of the person behind the scenes and came straight to you.]

[I thought that the master had betrayed me.]

Xiao Ruyu felt relieved as he felt his chest down, but then he was hit on the head.

"What are you thinking about? What kind of person am I, your master?"

Doctor Yang tapped her head lightly.

【It’s all the fault of the little black dog.】

Xiao Ruyu looked at the little black dog speechlessly and picked it up.

Its eyes rolled around and it rubbed her sleeve in a flattering manner.

"Oh, woman, why are you so angry?"

"Put me down and talk it over."

Seeing it shrink its neck, Xiao Ruyu's mouth twitched and he was speechless for a moment.

[Where is the person I asked you to follow? Why are you here to lick the soup? ]

"The dog couldn't help himself..."

The little black dog knew that he had made a mistake, and his tone softened.

【Where did the bad guy go? 】

Xiao Ruyu had no choice but to continue asking.

“I… I lost him…”

The current clue was broken again. Xiao Ruyu put the little black dog down and sighed helplessly.

Doctor Yang interrupted.

"Princess, please don't embarrass a dog."

[I am not making things difficult for him, but there are no other clues at the moment. ]

She reached out to Eleven for a hug in frustration.

"Sir Yang, someone from the government wants to see you."

The servant suddenly appeared and came to report.

Xiao Ruyu was curious about what was going on, so she followed Doctor Yang into the hall.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw several officials sitting together, all of them with worried looks on their faces.

Eleven whispered in Xiao Ruyu's ear.

"In the past few days, the people and the government have been extremely tense. These government officials have come here several times."
