According to Chun Hua's memories, there was still half a year before the dethroned emperor would be dethroned.
However, if Jiujiu was in perfect condition, she would definitely be able to find a way to save the dethroned emperor. But now, she was just a little kitten. A little kitten that needed someone to take care of her daily needs.
She couldn't even save herself, how could she save the dethroned emperor?
Jiujiu was in despair.
Jiujiu felt that she was being targeted. Otherwise, how could she become a little kitten when she was just doing a mission?
Jiujiu, who was licking her claws, stopped licking them. She laid down on the blanket and let out a long sigh. Her eyes were filled with unspeakable sorrow.
When the little maid sent by the envoy to take care of Jiujiu saw this human-like state of Jiujiu, she couldn't help but gasp.
She had heard that the national treasure, Snowball, was human-like. But now that she saw how human-like Jiujiu was, she was completely stunned.
In ancient times, carriages were the main means of transportation. The Western Region was thousands of miles away. Since they were here to pay tribute, they naturally had to bring a lot of things. They couldn't travel much in a day. After walking and stopping for about a month, they finally arrived at the capital.
On the first day in the capital, the envoy that Jiujiu had not seen for half a month immediately ordered people to clean Jiujiu. Then, he placed Jiujiu on a white tray and went forward to pay tribute.
Jiujiu knew that she was going to be treated as a tribute, so she wasn't nervous at all. Instead, she did what she usually did. Jiujiu occasionally licked her claws and washed her face. Then, she lay on the soft tray and dozed off.
Jiujiu thought that the envoy was going to offer her as a tribute to the dethroned emperor. She didn't expect that he would offer her as a tribute to Qi Nan.
If one were to talk about who had the most power in the imperial court, it wasn't the Second Prince who rebelled in the end, nor was it the Great General who commanded a large number of troops. It was the East Factory Superintendent, Qi Nan, who was sitting at the head of the table.
The reason why Qi Nan had so much power was also because of the dethroned emperor.
In Jiujiu's opinion, this dethroned emperor was a weirdo.
How should he put it? The dethroned emperor's situation was a classic case of reincarnation. He should have reincarnated not in the imperial family, but in a carpenter's family.
Yes, the Dethroned Emperor was a weirdo who liked to do carpentry instead of reading memorials.
In more modern terms, among the emperors, the Corrupt Emperor was the best at carpentry, and among the carpenters, the Corrupt Emperor was the one with the highest authority.
Although the Crippled Emperor was useless, he occupied two of the most important positions.
Unfortunately, the two of them weren't able to save his life.
Qi Nan had served the Waste Emperor when he was young. Because of this, the Waste Emperor trusted Qi Nan very much.
The Deposed Emperor didn't like reviewing memorials, but he was also worried about his brothers. Therefore, those memorials ended up on Qi Nan's chopping board.
On the surface, the deposed emperor was the emperor, but in reality, the one in charge was Qi Nan.
Although Qi Nan was a eunuch, he had power that could overturn the imperial court. All the Confucian scholars in the imperial court refused to accept this.
However, they couldn't do anything about it. The emperor was obsessed with carpentry, and Qi Nan now held great power. They could either hold it in or rebel.
However, the Confucian scholars didn't have any soldiers and horses, so it was obviously impossible for them to rebel. Therefore, they could only hold it in.
Thinking of this, Jiujiu understood why the envoy from the Western Regions sent her here.
Now that Qi Nan was the master of this country, they came to pay tribute. Of course, they wanted to curry favor with the person who could be the master of this country. Therefore, giving her to Qi Nan was the safest way.
Jiujiu raised her head and looked at Qi Nan.
It was strange. Qi Nan was a eunuch, but he was tall and strong. His face was chiseled, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. When he looked at Jiujiu, Jiujiu couldn't help but shiver.
Jiujiu blinked her beautiful heterochromatic eyes and meowed delicately.
Qi Nan could control the imperial court with his status. In addition to the East Faction Guards in his hands, he was also cruel and merciless.
Although he didn't kill people without batting an eyelid, Qi Nan had killed at least eight hundred people, if not a thousand.
Because he had killed so many people, Qi Nan had a murderous aura. Whether it was people or animals, even Hua An, who had been with him for almost ten years, would tremble with fear when he saw him.
In the past, the envoys had offered animals as tribute, but unfortunately, those animals were too timid. After being frightened by him, most of them would pee in their pants, and more of them would collapse to the ground.
Over time, when someone came to offer an animal as tribute to please him, Qi Nan's first reaction was to scare the animal.
When he saw Jiujiu, Qi Nan's first reaction was that this cat was really beautiful.
But this thought disappeared in a flash. No matter how beautiful it was, it would be meaningless if it was timid.
Qi Nan sneered and tried to scare Jiujiu with his cold eyes. He had thought that Jiujiu would be frightened by him like those animals, but to his surprise, Jiujiu just trembled and meowed delicately.
How to describe Jiujiu's meow?
It was a little childish and delicate. Hearing it, even if one's heart was as hard as steel, it would soften in an instant.
Although Qi Nan didn't like small animals, he was interested in Jiujiu, a cat that was not frightened by him.
Qi Nan's face instantly showed a playful expression. He raised the corner of his mouth and said to Hua An, "Bring it here and let me have a look."
Hua An thought that Qi Nan would ask him to send these small animals to the Cat and Dog Workshop as before, but he didn't expect that Qi Nan would ask him to bring it here to have a look. Hua An was stunned for a moment and hurriedly stepped forward with a tray to bring Jiujiu to Qi Nan.
Qi Nan reached out to take Jiujiu from the tray. After feeling Jiujiu's small and soft body, he was stunned. His first reaction was that it was so small.
Cats were small, and Jiujiu was only two months old. Naturally, it was especially small. When Qi Nan held it in his arms, it was not even as big as his palm.
When Jiujiu saw Qi Nan holding it in his arms, it immediately rubbed its small head softly on Qi Nan's hand. Then, it revealed its small white belly and rolled in Qi Nan's arms coquettishly.
The moment Jiujiu was held in Qi Nan's arms, the envoy's heart tightened. He was afraid that Jiujiu would do something outrageous. After all, Qi Nan was the ruler of this country. If Qi Nan was displeased, he might issue an edict to attack the Western Region.
The envoy kept saying in his heart, "Snowball, you must be obedient. The future of the Western Region depends on you."
Qi Nan was a little surprised when he saw that Jiujiu was not afraid of him. At this moment, when he saw Jiujiu acting coquettishly, he couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "Stay."
Hearing this, Hua An and the envoy both breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Jiujiu immediately jumped up from Qi Nan's arms. Looking at Qi Nan's handsome face, Jiujiu directly jumped onto Qi Nan's shoulder and kissed his face.
