After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 430: Unusual Movements in the Capital
The giant tiger put its big head close to Niu Niu, stuck close to her, and then turned around and stared at the emperor with a scrutinizing look.

Although the emperor had seen the tiger's brutal and hurtful side before, the victim at that time was a masked assassin. Only when he faced the giant tiger head-on did he realize its terrifying deterrent power.

Although he was clearly a beast, he had a feeling that everything about him was seen through by the other party.

The giant tiger opened its bloody mouth threateningly towards the emperor.

The guards on the side hurriedly shouted: "Protect the emperor!"

The emperor was so frightened that he took two steps back. He felt that the tiger seemed to really want to eat him at a certain moment.

No matter how scary the giant tiger is, fortunately we still have Niu Niu.

Niu Niu tilted her head and looked at the tiger and then at the emperor. The tiger instantly restrained its ferocity, and stayed close to Niu Niu like a kitten, then lay down with its whole body.

"Hu Hu said it wants to go back to the woods." Niu Niu said.

The emperor didn't know how they communicated. The big tiger hadn't barked since it left the forest. How did Niu Niu know what it wanted to say?

But after being frightened by the tiger just now, the emperor no longer dared to dream of keeping the tiger in the zoo. He laughed dryly and asked, "What if you want to see it in the future?"

The little girl thought about it carefully and said, "When I want to see you, I can see you naturally."

The emperor felt that this was equivalent to saying nothing.

Niu Niu turned her head again, stretched out her little hand and touched its big head.

"Hu Hu, thank you." Niu Niu said seriously.

The giant tiger came closer and clung to her like a human being, its warm breath blowing on Niu Niu's face, making the little girl couldn't help but shout, "It's too itchy, stop teasing me!"

The giant tiger didn't stop after hearing this, but moved its big head closer.

The people around looked at the ferocious big tiger, which was so well-behaved and considerate around the little girl, and listened to the little girl's silver bell-like laughter, as if this was not the king of the forest fighting ten people alone, but Niu Niu's pet.

A man and a tiger played together for a long time and finally stopped.

Niuniu touched its big head and said, "Huhu, go back. You belong to the forest."

The giant tiger gently placed its big head against Niu Niu's forehead, then stood up, turned around and walked towards the forest.

Niu Niu stood there and watched her friends go home.

The giant tiger turned around, its golden pupils filled with reluctance. After seeing Niu Niu waving at it, the giant tiger finally turned around and slowly walked towards the woods, disappearing from everyone's sight.

The emperor felt strange when he saw this scene. He also asked the person in charge of the enclosure. Before the emperor and his entourage arrived, their people had searched the forest at least three times, but they did not find any trace of the giant tiger at all. It was as if this big guy appeared out of thin air.

"Your Majesty, not to mention that we didn't find it this time, even in the previous few times or years, I have never seen this giant tiger! I have served in this enclosure for fifteen years. I have seen foxes and civets in it, but I never knew there were tigers in this forest." The person in charge of the enclosure said with a bitter face.

This was not the first time the emperor had come to this enclosure, and he knew exactly what kind of prey there was. The more the enclosure manager spoke, the clearer his guess became.

This giant tiger seemed to have come specially for Niu Niu, as if Niu Niu could not fall into a dangerous situation. Once she encountered danger, something would naturally come to save her. His eyes just fell on Niu Niu, and the little girl suddenly tilted her head and fell straight into the soft grass.

"Good boy!"

No matter how many thoughts the emperor had in his mind, he stopped thinking after the little girl fell down.

"Call the imperial physician quickly! What are you all standing there for?" the emperor urged the people around him in a stern voice.

Originally, the emperor was supposed to stay in the enclosure for three days, but after what happened, the emperor was in no mood to stay here any longer. Even though the imperial physician took Niu Niu's pulse many times and said that she was frightened and unconscious, and there was nothing wrong with her body, the emperor was still worried and urged them to set off and return to Beijing early.

This time, Niu Niu woke up quickly, but she was unconscious for more than an hour. After she woke up, everyone could see that she seemed visibly weak.

"How is the uncle captain of the guard?" Niu Niu asked.

Previously, the captain of the guards was sent to the imperial physician covered in blood for treatment, and Niu Niu was also very concerned about his condition.

"The imperial physician has bandaged him to stop the bleeding. He said that it was fortunate that he was sent back in time. If it was any later, he would probably die from excessive blood loss. I also want to thank Ju Hu for helping me save a loyal minister." said the emperor.

Niuniu was relieved to hear that no one was hurt and said, "That's great. Everyone is fine."

However, the seven guards who were sent by the emperor to chase the white fox and the white deer did not return until a long time later. Although they brought back the prey ordered by the emperor, they felt so guilty that they wanted to commit suicide to apologize.

The emperor personally comforted them: "It was my fault that I was careless and fell into the trap of the thieves. You were all just following orders. How can I blame you?"

The seven guards were so moved when they heard this that they all started crying.

Although the emperor said this, he privately sent someone to inquire whether any of the seven people had deliberately delayed while chasing the prey.

These seven people were only innocent on the surface. In fact, the subsequent seven people were all cleared out of the emperor's personal guards and were soon marginalized in the officialdom.

The emperor also ordered his men to turn the forest upside down. Although they found the escaped masked assassin and Concubine Lin, strangely enough, they did not find the giant tiger.

Concubine Lin was also lucky. She had been through so many things, whether it was the previous pursuit by the assassins or the subsequent being left alone in the forest, she had always been unharmed. Now that she had seen the emperor, she still had the energy to protest her injustice.

Since it involved royal women, it should have been kept secret, but this time it threatened the emperor's personal safety, so the emperor sent someone back to Beijing in advance to ask Gu Mingda to prepare for the interrogation.

The emperor didn't think Gu Mingda was special. He just thought that the top scholar was extremely talented. After experiencing so many things, he realized the benefits of having someone who was good at solving cases. No matter who the mastermind behind the scenes was, he would always be exposed under Gu Mingda's investigation.

"Is there any unusual movement in the capital?" the emperor asked his spy.

The spy knelt in the shadows and said, "To reply to your Majesty, someone has contacted the deputy commander of the Beijing Camp, and someone has contacted the governor of the Nine Gates."

When the emperor heard this, a fierce look suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Whose man is this?"

"I am incompetent, and I have failed to find out the person who had contact with the Nine Gates Admiral. As for the person who had contact with the deputy commander of the Beijing Camp, it seems that he is from the Prince Qi's Mansion, but his behavior was too obvious, so I and others still have doubts." The spy said respectfully.

The Nine-Gates Commander controls the inner city of the capital, while the Beijing Camp controls the outer city. By contacting people from these two areas, the answer to what the person behind the scenes wants to do is obvious.
