Prince Ling felt that he was really unlucky today. He was just curious and fished up Ying Yu to take a look, but this group of people barged in. In a panic, they knocked Ying Yu unconscious and hid it in the water, then locked him in an iron cage.
In front of so many people, he couldn't turn into a human and escape. He could only maintain the dignity of a prince and sit in the cage expressionlessly. However, when he saw Su Yu's expression, His Royal Highness King Ling couldn't help but raise a paw to cover his face. He really wanted to face the wall for a while more.
Su Yu's mouth twitched as she looked at Imperial Uncle in the cage. She turned to look at the Emperor. The disgust in the Emperor's eyes was almost tangible.
"This cat might just be passing by." Su Yu wanted to go forward and see if Imperial Uncle was injured, but she was stopped by the eunuch guarding the waterside pavilion.
"Impudent!" Wang Gonggong scolded.
"Niangniang, please forgive me. This cat is ferocious and cannot be approached." That eunuch was Concubine De's deputy steward in the palace. In a moment of excitement, he stopped Su Yu. He only reacted after being scolded by Wang Gonggong. Right now, the spearhead hasn't been pointed at Concubine Xian yet. If he was so anxious to take credit, he might overreach himself, so he hurriedly explained.
"Scram." The Emperor coldly spat out a word.
That eunuch froze for a moment, then knelt on the ground. "Emperor, please forgive me."
An Hong-chul didn't even look at him. He pulled Su Yu to the waterside pavilion and squatted down beside the cage. He slowly stretched out a finger and poked the big cat's head. The people around them immediately had their hearts in their throats. If that cat suddenly went crazy and scratched the Emperor, they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
The Empress Dowager was supported by Concubine Lu as she walked over. "What the hell is going on …" Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the big tabby cat in the cage.
After being poked in the head by the Emperor's slender finger, Prince Ling's heart was dead. He fell into the cage and didn't want to see his sister-in-law's slightly twitching dignified face.
The Empress Dowager couldn't catch her breath and immediately coughed twice.
"The baleful aura here is too strong. Let's stand outside." Concubine Lu hurriedly handed over a handkerchief and hurriedly pulled the Empress Dowager to leave, as if staying here any longer would shorten her lifespan.
The Empress Dowager waved her hand. "How did you catch this cat?"
"Empress Dowager, we were searching Ye Xiao Palace and found the blood talisman here. At that time, the cat was standing in the middle of the blood talisman, looking ferocious and terrifying." The chief eunuch in Consort Shu's palace hurriedly said.
Prince Ling, who couldn't get up from the ground, scratched the cage with all his might. 'These people who are lying through their teeth, have they seen this prince's face?
The Empress Dowager took a deep look at Consort Shu.
"Who allowed you to search the Night Cloud Palace?" The cold and dignified voice made everyone tremble. The Emperor stood up and coldly looked at the concubines and concubines who were dressed up in the middle of the night. How did they look like they were here to catch ghosts?
"This … …" Consort Shu felt guilty under the Empress Dowager's gaze. She glared at the talkative eunuch and didn't dare to raise her head to meet the Emperor's gaze. "That Ghost Night Cry is too frightening. The concubines couldn't stand it, so they came to see what was going on."
"Empress Dowager, this Night Cloud Palace is suspicious. In chenqie's opinion, we should thoroughly search it." Concubine Lu glanced at the confused Su Yu and her lips hooked into a cold smile.
The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Lu and felt a wave of annoyance. She raised her head to look at the Emperor.
The Emperor pulled up Su Yu, who was still squatting and looking at the cat, and slowly raised his hand. The palace guards quickly surrounded the pavilion. The meaning was clear. If this matter wasn't understood, no one could leave.
"Send this cat to Ci An Palace," The Empress Dowager sighed. She couldn't rely on the Emperor to deal with the matters of the hougong. She said to Su Yu, who was still in a daze, "Xian fei, carry the cat."
"Ah?" Su Yu blinked and then realized that the Empress Dowager was telling him to carry the cat and follow the Empress Dowager to Ci An Palace. He hurriedly bent down to pick up the cage, his hands flat to prevent it from bumping into Imperial Uncle.
"Empress Dowager, this cat is an inauspicious object. You cannot bring it to Ci An Palace." Concubine Lu hurriedly dissuaded. She hadn't used her prepared speech yet. How could she just leave like that?
The Empress Dowager looked at Su Yu who was carefully carrying the cat and then looked at Concubine Lu. She slowly pulled her arm out of Concubine Lu's grasp. Lin gugu hurriedly went forward and replaced Concubine Lu to support the Empress Dowager. At the same time, she stopped Concubine Lu from sticking close again.
Concubine Lu dazedly watched as the Empress Dowager turned and left. For a long time, she had relied on the fact that the Empress Dowager was her maternal aunt. She could do whatever she wanted in the palace. Concubine De and Consort Shu still came to curry favor with her after she was demoted. It was all because of this. But just now, when the Empress Dowager pulled her hand away, Concubine Lu clearly felt that something no longer belonged to her.
Su Yu followed the Empress Dowager to Ci An Palace. The Emperor originally wanted to follow, but the Empress Dowager asked him to stay and clean up the mess. His Majesty, who was already in a bad mood, became even more unhappy. He slightly narrowed his eyes. The people kneeling on the ground couldn't help but shrink back.
The brightly lit Ci An Palace was no different from daytime. Su Yu stood in the middle of the hall with the cat cage in her arms.
The Empress Dowager sat on the main seat and found that Su Yu was still holding the cage. She couldn't help but smile. She signaled Su Yu to put down the cage and waved her hand to dismiss everyone. Only Lin gugu remained in the hall to serve her.
Su Yu obediently put the cage on the ground. The cat in the cage looked left and right, then opened the latch and came out. It shook its fur and sat down dejectedly.
"Uncle, Aijia doesn't want to scold you, but you're not young anymore. Why did you come out in the middle of the night?" The Empress Dowager began to scold him.
Prince Ling lay on the carpet and hugged his ears with his paws.
"How many times have Aijia said that the Empress hasn't been elected yet. There are too many people in the palace. Unless it's necessary, don't turn into a cat and wander around. You're good. You even made a cat venom." The Empress Dowager chattered endlessly. "This time, it was lucky that it wasn't hurt. If it was hurt by those who didn't know how to treat it seriously, how could Aijia have the face to see the former Emperor …"
Su Yu widened his eyes. This seemed to be different from the cold and taciturn Empress Dowager he usually saw …
After talking for a while, the Empress Dowager took the cup from Lin gugu and drank a mouthful of tea. Only then did she realize that Su Yu was still standing there blankly. "This child, why are you standing there?"
Su Yu thanked the Empress Dowager and was about to find a chair. Unexpectedly, Lin gugu handed him a soft cushion. He blinked and looked at the Imperial Uncle who was lying in a pile at his feet. He put the soft cushion next to Seventeenth Uncle and sat on the ground.
The half-dead Prince Ling moved toward the soft cushion and scratched the rough edge of the soft cushion with his paws.
