Chen Ning was prepared to go to bed when the door was suddenly pushed open. Xiao Ru ran in in a panic, running to the bed in one breath and shouting, "Young miss!"
"What happened?"
"Did you hear ….. hear a sound?" Xiao Ru had a panicked expression as she looked out the window.
"What sound?" Chen Ning asked in a curious voice.
"Cat ….. Cat meowing." Xiao Ru said in a trembling voice.
"Cat meowing?" Chen Ning couldn't help looking at Xiao Ru.
She had indeed heard cat meowing, but she didn't care. She patted Xiao Ru's shoulder and said with a smile, "A few cat meowing scared you like this? Xiao Ru, are you born in the year of the mouse? "
Xiao Ru pouted, "Young miss, you're making fun of this servant again. This servant is really scared, that cat meowing is very strange. Moreover, it's not just one cat, but rather many cats that are making strange meowing sounds. The sound is just outside the window, this servant is too scared to sleep."
Chen Ning said with a faint smile, "It's spring right now, it's normal for cats to meow, what's so strange about it? Since you're afraid, you can sleep with me tonight."
"How can I do that!" Xiao Ru's eyes opened wide, "This is the emperor's dragon bed, how could this servant dare ….."
"What do you mean dare or not dare, it's just a bed. Mo Chuan will stay in the Peaceful Life Palace tonight to take care of the Empress Dowager, so you can sleep with me."
She didn't say anything as she pulled Xiao Ru onto the bed and covered her with the blanket.
Xiao Ru still had a worried look on her face. She would occasionally get up and look out the window.
"What are you afraid of? Mo Chuan won't come back. Even if he comes back, he's not a tiger, would he eat you? What, are you still afraid of those cats? "
Chen Ning teased her.
Xiao Ru's heart trembled as she shrank back to her side, "Young miss, don't you think that the meowing of these cats is very strange? This servant has often heard cats meowing before, but it's completely different from these cats. When I hear these cats meowing, I feel ….. I feel like something bad is about to happen."
It was fine if she didn't mention it. Once she mentioned it, Chen Ning also paid attention. She listened with rapt attention and heard that the cats' meowing was a bit strange.
The sound was filled with excitement, as well as an indescribable evil aura.
"You always like to let your imagination run wild. It's just a cat's meow. Go to sleep. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. There will be a big banquet in the palace. All the princes and ministers will be attending. You have to get enough sleep to be energetic tomorrow. Don't you like crowds? "Tomorrow the palace will be very lively, I believe you will have a good time. Don't you like crowds?"
Xiao Ru had an unhappy look on her face, "This servant doesn't want to participate in that palace banquet. Young miss, you don't need to participate either, this servant already knows that the Empress Dowager wants to celebrate that Zhao Rong princess' birthday. That Zhao Rong princess is so hateful, this servant gets angry when she sees her, humph!"
Hearing her naive words, Chen Ning revealed a faint smile and said, "You don't have to attend, but as the empress, I have to attend. Alright, if you don't want to go tomorrow, then just obediently stay in the Guan Osprey Palace. I'll have Xiao Si stay and chat with you, alright?"
