Su Yu jealously watched as the emperor rubbed the chubby little cat. The chubby little cat didn't resist at all. It had an honest look on its face. "Why is it so obedient in your hands?"
"Zhen is the emperor." An Hong-chul proudly said.
Was there a connection between the two? Su Yu rolled his eyes and reached out to secretly touch the chubby little cat. But the emperor immediately moved his hand away.
"You don't believe me?" An Hong-chul naturally saw Su Yu rolling his eyes. He raised his eyebrows, put the little cat on his lap, and stretched out a finger. "Raise your paw!"
The younger brother helplessly raised his head and looked at his older brother. He slowly stretched out his paw and placed it on the emperor's outstretched finger.
"Wow!" Su Yu looked at the emperor with admiration. "Such a small cat is actually obedient!"
The emperor was very pleased with Su Yu's admiration. He continued: "Change to your left paw."
The little cat stiffened and looked at his older brother with a bitter face. "Older brother, can cats understand left and right paw?"
"Cough." An Hong-chul dryly coughed and glared at his younger brother, hinting him to be less talkative.
His Royal Highness King Zhao had no choice but to change to his left paw and touch the emperor's fingertip.
"Good boy!" Su Yu exclaimed. This cat can even differentiate left and right. It's almost like sauce.
"Roll!" The emperor pointed at the cat's head with his fingertip.
His Royal Highness King Zhao glanced at his older brother who was addicted to playing with the cat. He met his older brother's threatening eyes. The meaning was very clear. "If you don't listen, I'll pluck your fur." He slowly lowered his head and rolled on the ground. He angrily looked at his older brother who abused his power just to make the beauty smile. Fatuous emperor!
"Huh? Then can it play dead? "Su Yu's eyes lit up. This little cat is really too fun.
"Play dead?" The emperor frowned. "How can a cat play dead?"
"It's …" Su Yu explained. He made a hand gesture like a gun and pointed it at the cat. He made the cat lie down and pretend to be shot.
An Hong-chul raised his eyebrows and looked at his younger brother. Then, he pointed his evil finger at his younger brother. Slap!
His Royal Highness King Zhao was stunned for a moment, then he fell to the ground with a plop. He glared at Su Yu with resentment. She didn't care about the suffering of her subjects, yet she came up with such a ridiculous idea.
"Good boy!" Su Yu was very excited. She took a small piece of fish cake and broke off a corner to feed it.
Demon concubine, you want to bribe this king with food. This king … This king is a real man, I know when to yield and when not to yield … The kitten immediately opened his mouth and put the delicious fish cake into his mouth. Oh, it's really delicious.
The two of them played in the main hall until dusk when the Empress Dowager sent someone to deliver a message.
The agarwood was an ordinary spice, but there were two herbs added to it. The Empress Dowager had asked Prince Zhao to identify the origin of these two herbs. Chen Zhaoyi was in possession of the drug that caused people to fall asleep, while the drug that caused men to be aroused had unexpectedly appeared in Imperial Consort Lu's palace.
Chen Zhaoyi tearfully complained that because she often woke up in the middle of the night, she had the imperial physician prescribe the calming incense. However, Cen Cairen lived in Chen Zhaoyi's Chunhua Palace. At the time, the red sandalwood box was taken away by a young eunuch in Chunhua Palace. No one would believe that this matter had nothing to do with Chen Zhaoyi.
"Empress Dowager, this concubine is only a Zhaoyi. Even if Consort Xian was harmed, the Emperor would not favor this concubine!" Chen Zhaoyi choked with sobs.
"That's hard to say," Concubine De coldly said, "A month ago, someone saw you arguing with Cen Cairen in the Imperial Garden."
"This concubine does not like Cen Cairen, but she is still someone in this concubine's palace. If something happened to her, this concubine would not be able to escape responsibility. How could a normal person do something that harms others without benefiting themselves?" Chen Zhaoyi gritted her teeth and secretly glanced at Imperial Consort Lu. When she had argued with Cen Cairen in the Imperial Garden, it had actually been ordered by Imperial Consort Lu.
Because of Cen Cairen's flamboyant personality, many people knew that her family had connections with Su Yu. Imperial Consort Lu had ordered Chen Zhaoyi to teach her a lesson wherever Su Yu passed by in order to gain Su Yu's sympathy. This would cause the two of them to be more involved and then find a chance to catch the two of them in private, killing two birds with one stone.
Who would have thought that when Su Yu returned the one thousand taels of silver to cut ties with her, Cen Cairen would also happily agree. This plan was then killed before it was even born. When Concubine De brought it up at this time, it became unfavorable evidence for Chen Zhaoyi. Chen Zhaoyi's teeth were about to shatter from gritting them.
Imperial Consort Lu could not even take care of herself right now. She glared at Ye Yuan, who was tied up like a dumpling, and was so angry that her face turned white. That medicine was originally something she had prepared to use to liven things up when the emperor flipped her sign. When Ye Yuan had entered Ye Xiao Palace, she had given her some so that she could find a chance to seduce Su Yu. However, Su Yu had never even looked at these palace maids properly, so she had given up on this idea. Who would have thought that this little hussy would add extra feet to this flawless plan and add such a drug to it!
Now, Imperial Consort Lu and Chen Zhaoyi had gone for wool but ended up losing the rice used to lure it. With all kinds of complicated plans added together, they had instead attracted a lot of trouble.
"Empress Dowager, pinqie feels guilty that such a big thing has happened in the hougong. Pinqie hopes that Empress Dowager can remove pinqie's position of gui fei." Imperial Consort Lu did not explain anything and knelt on the ground with a plop, crying as she pleaded.
The Empress Dowager leisurely looked at the cup in her hand and slowly said, "How many times has aijia said, His Majesty's body is weak and cannot bear this. I told you to manage the hougong, but you used it yourself first." She was neither fast nor slow, as if she was a normal aunt chatting with her niece, but there was no warmth in her voice.
Imperial Consort Lu was truly afraid now. After all these years, she understood the Empress Dowager the best. She would let her do as she pleased, but if the Emperor was harmed, she definitely would not let the matter rest.
"The Empress Dowager has removed the position of gui fei and ordered Lu shi to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors. She is not allowed to take a step out of Yu Luan Palace. Chen Zhaoyi has already been locked up and Yeyuan has been beaten to death," The little taijian who passed on the message narrated everything that had happened in Ci An Palace in detail, "The Empress Dowager said to leave it at that for today and see what His Majesty thinks."
An Hong-chul frowned as he listened. The complicated methods of the hougong were really hard to understand, "Go back to muhou and say zhen understands." The Empress Dowager's meaning was that she had already given him the handle. She was waiting to see what he would do in the court before the Empress Dowager would consider how to deal with these imperial concubines.
After sending away the little taijian, Su Yu remembered that he had to cook. The Emperor, who had nothing to do, carried his younger brother and followed him to the kitchen.
The Emperor couldn't help at all in the kitchen. Fortunately, he didn't cause any trouble. He just circled around Su Yu and curiously watched him cook.
"What's wrong?" Su Yu was stir-frying when a warm body suddenly pressed against him from behind. The Emperor hugged his waist and naturally rested his chin on his shoulder.
"I'm a bit tired," The Emperor yawned. The tiredness from fighting with the National Tutor in the afternoon finally showed.
"Go back to sleep first. I'll call you when I'm done," Su Yu was being hugged by the Emperor. His heartbeat sped up and he was worried that he would spoil the food.
"Not going." The Emperor stubbornly rubbed his nose against Su Yu's neck. The Emperor insisted on not letting go. His Royal Highness King Zhao, who was squeezed between his elder brother's chest and sister-in-law's back, was bitterly struggling to climb up.
