A kitten dressed as an empress
Chapter 27
Zhao Yao summoned the palace servants to inspect, and then asked: "Why is there one less person?"
"Return to Your Majesty, Cuihua may be lazy again." Li Nanny was worried that she would not have a chance to run people, so she rushed forward.
"Then why don't you go look for it?" Zhao Yao frowned slightly.
"Yes."
The palace people scattered everywhere, there are many houses in the Yuqing Palace, and the long corridors are also intertwined and complicated.
If this big living person who can move really hides, how can it be so easy to find.
Nanny Li walked around half of the palace, due to her age, her legs and feet were naturally not so agile, she leaned against the pillar with difficulty and said: "This little girl is really good at torturing people!"
Chun Lan, a member of the Grand Palace, supported Nanny Li and said, "Isn't that right, Your Majesty will search the Yuqing Palace inside and out in just half a day."
Several palace people who were oncoming bowed their heads and saluted, and reported the situation at the southwestern corner: "Madam Li, I haven't seen anyone here either."
"Then hurry up and look for it!" Nanny Li scolded angrily, and turned to contemptuously look at Chunlan, who looked weaker in Dagong, "They are all useless things!"
If there is someone who can match that little girl's mouth, why bother to suffer so much.
Chunlan, a member of the palace, knew that Nanny Li had something to say, but she still didn't show it on her face, instead she looked eagerly at the dilapidated attic.
"You searched for more than half a day, but you didn't even find anyone?" Zhao Yao sat in a high position and looked coldly at the palace people.
Nanny Li came forward with a flattering smile and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, the palace people have even searched the well, and the Yuqing Palace has been searched inside and out. It is true that no one was found, maybe the person is Went to the outside of Yuqing Palace."
The strong wind mixed with snowflakes fell in the air, and all the palace people stood in the courtyard. Zhao Yao touched the warm teacup lightly with her fingertips and said, "Are there any palace people who are acting on orders in the palace today?"
The people in the palace looked at each other, and Nanny Li stood by and responded, "Anyone who can prove each other will gather together to avoid mistakes."
I saw that dozens of palace people were divided into ten or so groups. Today, the palace people are mostly in groups of four or five, and there are rarely two people in groups. Only two palace people are in one place, which is particularly conspicuous.
Zhao Yao frowned slightly and said, "What are they usually responsible for?"
Nanny Li glanced at Chunlan and Chunyue and said, "Both of them are helping the old slave manage the chores in the palace, but Chunlan has suffered from typhoid fever, so Chunyue is taking care of a lot of things today."
"Who was the last palace official to see the disappearance today?"
All the palace people looked at Nanny Li in unison, and Zhao Yao turned her head to cast her gaze.
"Your Majesty, this old slave is in the flower room today arranging for the palace servants to move flowers, and Chunlan and Chunyue have been by the side to testify." Li Nanny explained in a flustered manner.
Dagong Ren Chunlan had just been punished, so she didn't dare to make a sound, she stretched out her hand and pulled Chunyue's sleeve to signal to make a sound.
But Chunyue from the Second Palace clearly remembered that Chunlan had gone back to the room to drink medicine in the morning, and left about a stick of incense.
"In other words, no one in Yuqing Palace has seen her since the time passed in the morning?"
"Yes."
Zhao Yao glanced at the increasingly dark sky, it was dark very early in winter, and there was a lot of wind and snow, if anyone did anything against her, I'm afraid they would have succeeded by now.
"Everyone, step back." Zhao Yao clasped her hands in her sleeves and quietly looked at the palace servants who were dispersing one after another.
Now that he has just come to power with great difficulty, if there is too much commotion in Yuqing Palace, Chaotian Palace will most likely get wind of it.
In fact, it should be the best way to deal with nothing.
Originally it was just a little pet to pass the time, she was disobedient and insisted on running around, if someone conspired to kill her, it would be too stupid of her.
This palace looks luxurious and rich, but there are traps everywhere inside, if you don't pay attention, you will die.
When the night was getting dark, lamps were lit everywhere in Yuqing Palace, only the dilapidated old attic was engulfed in the night, and the wind passed through the broken windows, like a choked cry.
Wen Ruyan was tied to the beams of the room with ropes, and his hands were tied behind his back. The attic was very cold with air leaks everywhere, and a handkerchief was stuffed in his mouth.
The back of his head hurt so badly, it took Wen Ruyan a lot of time to spit out the handkerchief in his mouth, his face was extremely ugly, and he called for help: "Come here..."
The strong wind outside covered the voice of calling for help, his voice was dry and hoarse, and his whole body was shivering due to the cold wind.
That sneak attacker, why didn't he just kill himself?
Wen Ruyan coughed a few times suddenly, her nose was congested, and the white mist exhaled from her mouth quickly dissipated again.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, tying a seriously injured person to a leaky house is like wanting to freeze to death alive.
This is how much enmity he has had to commit such murderous intentions!
The attic window rattled, and because there was no light, Wen Ruyan's vision was very blurred, and he was scared and angry.
According to the time, the effect of the Hongxiang Pill was coming soon, Wen Ruyan couldn't find any other way but could only wait in the cold.
In the side hall, Zhao Yao looked at the map of Yuqing Palace placed in front of her. The wind and snow outside the window was extremely heavy, and the candlelight at the side flickered slightly.
"Help." Wen Ruyan yelled intermittently.
Her voice was hoarse and uncomfortable, but there was no water, Wen Ruyan's hands were already numb from being tied up, and the beams of the house creaked, feeling a little unsteady.
The light outside suddenly came on, and Wen Ruyan was about to speak, but when he saw the shadow holding a sharp knife in his hand, his heart turned cold.
This, the murderer will not come back to make up the knife!
Chun Lan, a member of the palace, sneaked out from the side courtyard, holding a lamp in her hand, thinking of the raids during the day, she couldn't help but get scared.
Originally, he wanted to make her suffer, but now he just wanted to get rid of her earlier, so as to save trouble.
When the old door was pushed open, Chunlan was stunned for a moment, the rope had been untied, but the person was gone!
Just as Chunlan turned around, the sharp blade in her hand was snatched away, and suddenly her neck was pinched, Zhao Yao glanced at the attic and said, "Where is she?"
Chunlan tried to push her hands away, but she was powerless and said, "I don't know."
There was a small spot of blood on the ground, but it had already dried out, and the sharp blade hadn't been stained with blood yet, the ropes of the beams were loose, it seemed that the person must have run away.
There was a crisp sound of bones, and the hands that had been stretched before fell straight down. Zhao Yao immediately let go of her hands, and took a handkerchief from her sleeves to wipe her hands seriously.
Chunlan, who had been struggling desperately before, fell to the ground, and the cold wind whizzed through the attic, and even the ropes swayed.
The snow drifting in from the window was like the bright moonlight, and Zhao Yao seemed to see the person hanging on the beam in a trance.
Zhao Yao has not been here for a long time.
The wind and snow did not stop all night, and it was not until dawn that they got a moment's rest.
The white-haired little milk cat had its head tied into two bundles of gauze, just like a little white rabbit.
Zhao Yao stretched out her hand to caress the little milk cat nestled in her arms, while the ointment and gauze beside her were still in a mess.
When I went back to Yuqing Palace last night, I saw the little milk cat nestling on the low couch, the blood-stained red and pure white hair was particularly obvious.
The unconscious little milk cat was very obedient and allowed Zhao Yao to bandage the wound, probably because it was too weak to make a sound.
Returning to Yuqing Palace from the main hall at the end of the morning court, Madam Li looked at His Majesty carefully while serving the meal and said: "This morning, some palace people found that the old attic suddenly caught fire last night for some reason, and Chunlan, the big palace lady, was burned to death."
Zhao Yao took a sip of her tea and responded, "The palace has been on fire frequently recently, Madam Li, you should teach the palace talents more."
"Yes." I thought His Majesty would be furious because of this, but now that he is suddenly so calm, Nanny Li is still a little confused.
Of course, what is even more unpredictable is why Chunlan went to the dilapidated old attic in the middle of the night.
When the guards carried the corpse out of Yuqing Palace, a thousand palace people looked around one after another, and there were not a few people who listened to talk.
"I think I must have been sneaking around to do something bad last night."
"Yeah, otherwise why would you go out in such a big snowstorm in the middle of the night?"
"Shut up!" Second Palace Ren Chunyue stepped forward with red eyes.
Seeing this, the rest of the palace people stopped and walked away.
The Chaotian Palace was filled with incense, and the Supreme Emperor was lying on a high floor, looking sideways at the heavy snow falling outside the window, holding hot tea in his palm and frowning slightly, he asked, "Why did the palace servant of Yuqing Palace die?"
"Experimental autopsy found that the palace man had no external injuries, but died of a broken neck bone. The clean and neat technique should have been killed by a martial arts practitioner."
The Supreme Emperor took a sip of his tea, turned his eyes from the window back to the inner hall and said, "A few days ago, you reported that there was an extra palace worker in Yuqing Palace, have you found out the details now?"
"This subordinate is incompetent. The origin of this person is unknown, and there is not much information about him. I only know that he disappeared suddenly yesterday. His Majesty made a big search for it."
"Missing?" The Supreme Emperor sat up slightly, turned his head to look at the person kneeling beside him, and threw the teacup in his hand violently, "Then why don't you go and find out?"
"Yes!"
The palace is heavily guarded, how could there be a disappearance for no reason.
The side hall of Yuqing Palace was exceptionally warm, Zhao Yao lightly pinched the tender paws of the little milk cat lying on the bed with her fingertips, and said, "Meat porridge, don't you like it?"
There are two bows made of gauze on the head of the little milk cat. When it stands up high, it looks like rabbit ears.
"Meow..." Wen Ruyan's head hurt so badly that he was not in the mood to eat at all.
Zhao Yao lightly touched that soft little face with her fingertips, and said with a slight frown, "If you want your wound to heal faster, eat more or you will still have pain."
The size of the little milk cat has not changed much since the first time I saw it. Although it has grown a lot of flesh on weekdays and has thick hair, it looks round, but if you really measure it with your hands carefully, in fact, the small head can be held with just your hands.
The injury was at the back of the head. When Zhao Yao cleaned up the wound and applied medicine, the little milk cat trembled in pain, presumably it was in severe pain.
Now no matter how much I tease him, the little milk cat is not in high spirits, lying on the quilt extremely weakly.
"Who are you feuding with?" Zhao Yao lightly poked the little ear with her fingertips, not intending to tell her what happened last night.
Those big amber eyes looked at this side full of sorrow, and the voice called out softly: "Meow!"
Wen Ruyan wanted to refute feebly, thinking that in addition to eating and sleeping on weekdays, the most he could have was a little communication with Nanny Li.
I don't know many people in this world, and every time I become a human, Zhao Yao is always restricted from Yuqing Palace, how could I have time to make enemies.
"Don't be angry, I won't tease you anymore." Zhao Yao gently held the little tail between her fingers and said patiently, "The porridge is going to be cold, eat as much as you want."
Fortunately, he was injured in winter, otherwise, if it was summer, the wound would be extremely susceptible to infection, and the injury would be even more serious.
Seeing the little milk cat eating porridge obediently, Zhao Yao gently smoothed the messy hair with her fingertips.
Why does it feel like the hair is getting longer and denser in winter, and the fluffy hair makes the little milk cat look a lot bigger.
The bunny ears make her even more cute.
After nearly half a month of recuperation, the little milk cat finally regained some energy. The wound on the back of the head slowly scabbed, and it was hard to see anything because of the hair covering it.
Zhao Yao usually came back very late for the New Year's Eve banquet, and when the fireworks were all set off, the palace was especially lively.
Most of the banquets were for drinking, and most of the ministers were already drunk, and the Supreme Emperor frequently looked towards this side, so Zhao Yao had no choice but to offer a toast to congratulate the New Year.
"Yao'er, you're getting older."
The Supreme Emperor smiled as if he was drunk, his eyebrows and eyes were full of inquiries, "I heard that Yao'er likes kittens recently, and even sent someone to bring two of them back to Yuqing Palace from Concubine Jin."
Zhao Yao let the eyes probe with her usual expression, and slightly clenched the wine cup between her fingers in response: "I just want to keep it for fun."
"You can play, of course, but..."
The Taishang Emperor paused slightly, put his palm lightly on the back of Zhao Yao's hand, and then took away the wine cup, "The Yao'er Palace has not been peaceful recently, even if it's a novelty, those cats and dogs are very weak, if If you suddenly get sick one day, don’t be sad and cry.”
There is something in these words, so Zhao Yao has to think deeply, maybe someone tipped the news.
"Auntie was joking, Yao'er is not a child, how can she still cry?"
The Supreme Emperor clenched Zhao Yao's slender hand tightly between his fingers, leaned forward and said, "Gu Gu is a little drunk, how about Yao'er to send Gu Gu back to Chaotian Palace?"
Zhao Yao's figure was slightly stiff, but she couldn't take back her hand, so she could only help her to get up slowly and said, "Okay."
The courtiers in the Chaotian Palace turned their backs to each other holding lamps, and they did not let go of the hand they held until they entered the main hall.
"Yao'er," the Supreme Emperor slowly fell onto the bed, played with Zhao Yao's fingers, stared at Zhao Yao with his long and narrow eyes, and murmured a few words, half drunk.
There was no sound in the bedroom, and Zhao Yao could hear her heart very clearly.
Kill her and it will be over!
The heavy snow outside the window did not stop, and the cold wind howled through the bamboo forest. There was a bamboo forest outside this bedroom, and it was also green in winter, and it was not uncommon for the occasional shadows of the bamboos to cast shadows.
But Zhao Yao clearly saw the reflection of the weapon, and there were obviously a large number of guards outside the window.
"My aunt is resting, Yao'er stepped back first."
Zhao Yao immediately got up, did not stay any longer, and just left Chaotian Palace in a moment.
When sitting alone in the chariot, the sweat oozing from the palms was blown by the wind, making it extremely cold.
This is just a plan, if it is done, it will be beyond redemption.
After returning to the side hall of Yuqing Palace, Zhao Yao came out from the inner room after bathing, and saw the fluffy mass buried on the desk.
"Meow..." The little milk cat poked its head and looked in this direction.
Sitting in front of the desk, Zhao Yao gently brushed the hair on her little head with her fingertips, checked the injury and said, "The scars will be gone in about spring."
The little milk cat obediently rubbed against Zhao Yao's palm, it seemed that he was really obsessed with leaving scars.
But the scar was on the back of her head, and she couldn't see it, so why did she care so much?
"Meow!" The little milk cat slowly got up, and sat on the side blankly, with two pink paws leaning forward obsequiously.
Zhao Yao stretched out her hand to hold her two little paws and said, "Are you congratulating the New Year?"
The little milk cat nodded hurriedly, and its big amber eyes signaled, the intention of the drawer containing the red incense pills could not be more obvious.
"You don't want to eat Hongxiang pills now, why don't I save them for you first."
Zhao Yao doesn't know what the little milk cat is thinking. Recently, she always pretends to be sick to lie to Hongxiang Wan.
It seemed that this had frightened her.
Before the words were finished, the little milk cat turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, turned around and fell on the book, that fluffy little head was shaking non-stop, looking so cute.
Zhao Yao rubbed her palm lightly and said in a soft voice: "There are people from Chaotian Temple hidden in Yuqing Palace, your identity may be exposed, and it is for your own good that I don't give Hongxiang Wan."
If you were bumped into by the palace people when you suddenly changed your personality, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Wen Ruyan tilted her head and looked at it seriously, thinking that this is actually an ancient duel?
Don't think about it, there must be Nanny Li.
"You don't want to be burned alive, do you?" Zhao Yao said threateningly.
The little milk cat froze for a moment, staring at it with two big eyes in disbelief, perhaps due to recuperating from its injuries, it has grown a lot of flesh in recent days, and its cheeks are even more swollen.
Zhao Yao pinched the hairball-like face with her fingertips, fearing that she would frighten the coward, she hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, you are obedient, and I will keep you."
At this moment, Wen Ruyan wanted to escape from the palace even more.
This ghostly place is not a place for people to stay at all!
In the spring, the snow melted and the sun was shining brightly, but it was still a bit chilly. Ever since Wen Ruyan heard those threatening words, she was completely dumbfounded.
"Meow." The two little orange cats grew extremely fast, and they always secretly came over to play with Wen Ruyan.
He also likes to catch small insects, small frogs and the like. After Wen Ruyan was attacked, he was so frightened that he could not go anywhere. At most, he lay on the window to bask in the sun.
In the morning, the palace people in Yuqing Palace were busy with their own work, and Madam Li asked the palace people to take care of the potted plants. Spring is a good time to cultivate flowers and plants.
The two little orange cats open their paws and always follow behind the little milk cat, especially like to play with their tails.
Wen Ruyan then learned to climb the roof to bask in the sun, so as to avoid those two pestering little orange cats.
The flower room is very busy every day, most of the palace people are used to take care of the flowers and plants, sometimes Zhao Yao will stay for a while.
In the spring when hundreds of flowers are blooming, the flowers are so gorgeous that naturally butterflies and bees are indispensable.
Wen Ruyan was soundly asleep at first, but suddenly a buzzing sound rang in his ears, subconsciously brushing with his small tail, seeing that it was a bee, he quickly jumped down cleverly.
Passing through the long corridor, Wen Ruyan saw the two little orange cats following the Ergong Ren Chunyue like little tails, and they seemed to have something to eat.
These two heartless little fellows, on weekdays, Wen Ruyan would secretly save some dried fish to share with the two little orange cats.
In the evening Zhao Yao went back to Yuqing Palace, got down from the chariot and walked through the courtyard, she saw Li Nanny covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in a very unlucky manner and said: "I don't know what disease I have, I just burn it together."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yao stepped forward and asked.
I saw that the limbs of the two little orange cats were a little stiff, and they were not breathing. There seemed to be vomit next to their mouths, and they seemed to have eaten something unclean.
Nanny Li lowered her head and replied, "These two little orange cats must have taken rat repellent."
Zhao Yao went straight into the side hall without stopping, and saw the little milk cat sleeping soundly in the drawer of the desk.
In fact, Zhao Yao has prepared many spacious and bright cat litters, but she seems to prefer the desk drawer, even if the little tail is still hanging outside, she must go in.
After the palace servants put the dishes on the low table, they quietly backed away. Zhao Yao closed the memorial in her hand, stretched out her hand to open the drawer, and poked the pussy of the little milk cat bent into the shape of a first quarter moon with her fingertips.
It's clearly a cat, but it's as soft as cotton. Such a weird sleeping position is really incomprehensible.
Zhao Yao stretched out her hands to hold the soft little milk cat, wiped the pastry crumbs on the cheek hair with her fingertips and called out: "If you don't wake up, you will miss dinner."
The little milk cat opened its big eyes with two slits, and sat lazily on the palm of its hand. It stretched its two front paws, and the movement was so wide that the whole cat almost fell from Zhao Yao's hands.
"If you fall down again, I'm afraid your head will fall like a fool." Zhao Yao worriedly grabbed the back of her neck and placed it directly on the low table.
The smell of dishes on the table brought the little milk cat back to his senses quickly, and buried his fluffy head in the big plate to eat fish.
Zhao Yao sipped the soup, and looked at this clumsy and cute eating posture with raised lips.
The big plate of fish, usually the little milk cat can't finish it, so the little milk cat will always give the fish to the two little orange cats.
"Are you going to save these fish for those two little orange cats?"
Seeing that the little milk cat nodded, Zhao Yao said hesitantly, "Those two little orange cats have eaten rat repellant, and they are already dead."
The little milk cat who had been carefully sorting the food before suddenly froze, and the big amber eyes burst into tears.
It was the first time Zhao Yao saw the little milk cat shed tears, and the tears dripped down the fur, looking pitifully tight.
She has never seen her cry no matter how teased or bullied, but now she is crying because of the two little orange cats.
"What are you crying for?" Zhao Yao picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears that fell like beans. Even though her head was hurt so badly that day, she just listened to her humming a few words.
The little milk cat stared blankly and called: "Meow."
I'm sad, can't cry!
Wen Ruyan clearly remembered teaching the two little orange cats not to eat food in corners or particularly obvious areas.
The smell of rat repellent was so pungent, and those two little orange cats ate delicacies from mountains and seas with Wen Ruyan all day long, how could they be stupid enough to eat food mixed with rat repellent.
I remember that when I was basking in the sun in the morning, those two little orange cats followed Chunyue, the second palace person, eagerly.
Is it...
Zhao Yao stretched out her hand to gently embrace the little milk cat, and pinched the soft cheek with her fingertips. She was a little unresponsive to the sudden tears.
"If you really like it, tomorrow I will send people to Jin Taifei to get two little orange cats to raise for you to play with." Since Chaotiandian already knew about keeping cats, these two cats are likely to be the ones who were taken care of by others. People deliberately remove.
The little milk cat nestled in his arms abnormally, although he didn't answer, at least the tears stopped flowing.
Zhao Yao teased her fluttering little ears with her fingertips, thinking that the Yuqing Palace is really full of ups and downs.

"Return to Your Majesty, Cuihua may be lazy again." Li Nanny was worried that she would not have a chance to run people, so she rushed forward.
"Then why don't you go look for it?" Zhao Yao frowned slightly.
"Yes."
The palace people scattered everywhere, there are many houses in the Yuqing Palace, and the long corridors are also intertwined and complicated.
If this big living person who can move really hides, how can it be so easy to find.

Of course, what is even more unpredictable is why Chunlan went to the dilapidated old attic in the middle of the night.
When the guards carried the corpse out of Yuqing Palace, a thousand palace people looked around one after another, and there were not a few people who listened to talk.
"I think I must have been sneaking around to do something bad last night."
"Yeah, otherwise why would you go out in such a big snowstorm in the middle of the night?"
"Shut up!" Second Palace Ren Chunyue stepped forward with red eyes.
Seeing this, the rest of the palace people stopped and walked away.
The Chaotian Palace was filled with incense, and the Supreme Emperor was lying on a high floor, looking sideways at the heavy snow falling outside the window, holding hot tea in his palm and frowning slightly, he asked, "Why did the palace servant of Yuqing Palace die?"
"Experimental autopsy found that the palace man had no external injuries, but died of a broken neck bone. The clean and neat technique should have been killed by a martial arts practitioner."
The Supreme Emperor took a sip of his tea, turned his eyes from the window back to the inner hall and said, "A few days ago, you reported that there was an extra palace worker in Yuqing Palace, have you found out the details now?"
"This subordinate is incompetent. The origin of this person is unknown, and there is not much information about him. I only know that he disappeared suddenly yesterday. His Majesty made a big search for it."
"Missing?" The Supreme Emperor sat up slightly, turned his head to look at the person kneeling beside him, and threw the teacup in his hand violently, "Then why don't you go and find out?"
"Yes!"
The palace is heavily guarded, how could there be a disappearance for no reason.
The side hall of Yuqing Palace was exceptionally warm, Zhao Yao lightly pinched the tender paws of the little milk cat lying on the bed with her fingertips, and said, "Meat porridge, don't you like it?"
There are two bows made of gauze on the head of the little milk cat. When it stands up high, it looks like rabbit ears.
"Meow..." Wen Ruyan's head hurt so badly that he was not in the mood to eat at all.
Zhao Yao lightly touched that soft little face with her fingertips, and said with a slight frown, "If you want your wound to heal faster, eat more or you will still have pain."
The size of the little milk cat has not changed much since the first time I saw it. Although it has grown a lot of flesh on weekdays and has thick hair, it looks round, but if you really measure it with your hands carefully, in fact, the small head can be held with just your hands.
The injury was at the back of the head. When Zhao Yao cleaned up the wound and applied medicine, the little milk cat trembled in pain, presumably it was in severe pain.
Now no matter how much I tease him, the little milk cat is not in high spirits, lying on the quilt extremely weakly.
"Who are you feuding with?" Zhao Yao lightly poked the little ear with her fingertips, not intending to tell her what happened last night.
Those big amber eyes looked at this side full of sorrow, and the voice called out softly: "Meow!"
Wen Ruyan wanted to refute feebly, thinking that in addition to eating and sleeping on weekdays, the most he could have was a little communication with Nanny Li.
I don't know many people in this world, and every time I become a human, Zhao Yao is always restricted from Yuqing Palace, how could I have time to make enemies.
"Don't be angry, I won't tease you anymore." Zhao Yao gently held the little tail between her fingers and said patiently, "The porridge is going to be cold, eat as much as you want."
Fortunately, he was injured in winter, otherwise, if it was summer, the wound would be extremely susceptible to infection, and the injury would be even more serious.
Seeing the little milk cat eating porridge obediently, Zhao Yao gently smoothed the messy hair with her fingertips.
Why does it feel like the hair is getting longer and denser in winter, and the fluffy hair makes the little milk cat look a lot bigger.
The bunny ears make her even more cute.
After nearly half a month of recuperation, the little milk cat finally regained some energy. The wound on the back of the head slowly scabbed, and it was hard to see anything because of the hair covering it.
Zhao Yao usually came back very late for the New Year's Eve banquet, and when the fireworks were all set off, the palace was especially lively.
Most of the banquets were for drinking, and most of the ministers were already drunk, and the Supreme Emperor frequently looked towards this side, so Zhao Yao had no choice but to offer a toast to congratulate the New Year.
"Yao'er, you're getting older."
The Supreme Emperor smiled as if he was drunk, his eyebrows and eyes were full of inquiries, "I heard that Yao'er likes kittens recently, and even sent someone to bring two of them back to Yuqing Palace from Concubine Jin."
Zhao Yao let the eyes probe with her usual expression, and slightly clenched the wine cup between her fingers in response: "I just want to keep it for fun."
"You can play, of course, but..."
The Taishang Emperor paused slightly, put his palm lightly on the back of Zhao Yao's hand, and then took away the wine cup, "The Yao'er Palace has not been peaceful recently, even if it's a novelty, those cats and dogs are very weak, if If you suddenly get sick one day, don’t be sad and cry.”
There is something in these words, so Zhao Yao has to think deeply, maybe someone tipped the news.
"Auntie was joking, Yao'er is not a child, how can she still cry?"
The Supreme Emperor clenched Zhao Yao's slender hand tightly between his fingers, leaned forward and said, "Gu Gu is a little drunk, how about Yao'er to send Gu Gu back to Chaotian Palace?"
Zhao Yao's figure was slightly stiff, but she couldn't take back her hand, so she could only help her to get up slowly and said, "Okay."
The courtiers in the Chaotian Palace turned their backs to each other holding lamps, and they did not let go of the hand they held until they entered the main hall.
"Yao'er," the Supreme Emperor slowly fell onto the bed, played with Zhao Yao's fingers, stared at Zhao Yao with his long and narrow eyes, and murmured a few words, half drunk.
There was no sound in the bedroom, and Zhao Yao could hear her heart very clearly.
Kill her and it will be over!
The heavy snow outside the window did not stop, and the cold wind howled through the bamboo forest. There was a bamboo forest outside this bedroom, and it was also green in winter, and it was not uncommon for the occasional shadows of the bamboos to cast shadows.
But Zhao Yao clearly saw the reflection of the weapon, and there were obviously a large number of guards outside the window.
"My aunt is resting, Yao'er stepped back first."
Zhao Yao immediately got up, did not stay any longer, and just left Chaotian Palace in a moment.
When sitting alone in the chariot, the sweat oozing from the palms was blown by the wind, making it extremely cold.
This is just a plan, if it is done, it will be beyond redemption.
After returning to the side hall of Yuqing Palace, Zhao Yao came out from the inner room after bathing, and saw the fluffy mass buried on the desk.
"Meow..." The little milk cat poked its head and looked in this direction.
Sitting in front of the desk, Zhao Yao gently brushed the hair on her little head with her fingertips, checked the injury and said, "The scars will be gone in about spring."
The little milk cat obediently rubbed against Zhao Yao's palm, it seemed that he was really obsessed with leaving scars.
But the scar was on the back of her head, and she couldn't see it, so why did she care so much?
"Meow!" The little milk cat slowly got up, and sat on the side blankly, with two pink paws leaning forward obsequiously.
Zhao Yao stretched out her hand to hold her two little paws and said, "Are you congratulating the New Year?"
The little milk cat nodded hurriedly, and its big amber eyes signaled, the intention of the drawer containing the red incense pills could not be more obvious.
"You don't want to eat Hongxiang pills now, why don't I save them for you first."
Zhao Yao doesn't know what the little milk cat is thinking. Recently, she always pretends to be sick to lie to Hongxiang Wan.
It seemed that this had frightened her.
Before the words were finished, the little milk cat turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, turned around and fell on the book, that fluffy little head was shaking non-stop, looking so cute.
Zhao Yao rubbed her palm lightly and said in a soft voice: "There are people from Chaotian Temple hidden in Yuqing Palace, your identity may be exposed, and it is for your own good that I don't give Hongxiang Wan."
If you were bumped into by the palace people when you suddenly changed your personality, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Wen Ruyan tilted her head and looked at it seriously, thinking that this is actually an ancient duel?
Don't think about it, there must be Nanny Li.
"You don't want to be burned alive, do you?" Zhao Yao said threateningly.
The little milk cat froze for a moment, staring at it with two big eyes in disbelief, perhaps due to recuperating from its injuries, it has grown a lot of flesh in recent days, and its cheeks are even more swollen.
Zhao Yao pinched the hairball-like face with her fingertips, fearing that she would frighten the coward, she hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, you are obedient, and I will keep you."
At this moment, Wen Ruyan wanted to escape from the palace even more.
This ghostly place is not a place for people to stay at all!
In the spring, the snow melted and the sun was shining brightly, but it was still a bit chilly. Ever since Wen Ruyan heard those threatening words, she was completely dumbfounded.
"Meow." The two little orange cats grew extremely fast, and they always secretly came over to play with Wen Ruyan.
He also likes to catch small insects, small frogs and the like. After Wen Ruyan was attacked, he was so frightened that he could not go anywhere. At most, he lay on the window to bask in the sun.
In the morning, the palace people in Yuqing Palace were busy with their own work, and Madam Li asked the palace people to take care of the potted plants. Spring is a good time to cultivate flowers and plants.
The two little orange cats open their paws and always follow behind the little milk cat, especially like to play with their tails.
Wen Ruyan then learned to climb the roof to bask in the sun, so as to avoid those two pestering little orange cats.
The flower room is very busy every day, most of the palace people are used to take care of the flowers and plants, sometimes Zhao Yao will stay for a while.
In the spring when hundreds of flowers are blooming, the flowers are so gorgeous that naturally butterflies and bees are indispensable.
Wen Ruyan was soundly asleep at first, but suddenly a buzzing sound rang in his ears, subconsciously brushing with his small tail, seeing that it was a bee, he quickly jumped down cleverly.
Passing through the long corridor, Wen Ruyan saw the two little orange cats following the Ergong Ren Chunyue like little tails, and they seemed to have something to eat.
These two heartless little fellows, on weekdays, Wen Ruyan would secretly save some dried fish to share with the two little orange cats.
In the evening Zhao Yao went back to Yuqing Palace, got down from the chariot and walked through the courtyard, she saw Li Nanny covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in a very unlucky manner and said: "I don't know what disease I have, I just burn it together."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yao stepped forward and asked.
I saw that the limbs of the two little orange cats were a little stiff, and they were not breathing. There seemed to be vomit next to their mouths, and they seemed to have eaten something unclean.
Nanny Li lowered her head and replied, "These two little orange cats must have taken rat repellent."
Zhao Yao went straight into the side hall without stopping, and saw the little milk cat sleeping soundly in the drawer of the desk.
In fact, Zhao Yao has prepared many spacious and bright cat litters, but she seems to prefer the desk drawer, even if the little tail is still hanging outside, she must go in.
After the palace servants put the dishes on the low table, they quietly backed away. Zhao Yao closed the memorial in her hand, stretched out her hand to open the drawer, and poked the pussy of the little milk cat bent into the shape of a first quarter moon with her fingertips.
It's clearly a cat, but it's as soft as cotton. Such a weird sleeping position is really incomprehensible.
Zhao Yao stretched out her hands to hold the soft little milk cat, wiped the pastry crumbs on the cheek hair with her fingertips and called out: "If you don't wake up, you will miss dinner."
The little milk cat opened its big eyes with two slits, and sat lazily on the palm of its hand. It stretched its two front paws, and the movement was so wide that the whole cat almost fell from Zhao Yao's hands.
"If you fall down again, I'm afraid your head will fall like a fool." Zhao Yao worriedly grabbed the back of her neck and placed it directly on the low table.
The smell of dishes on the table brought the little milk cat back to his senses quickly, and buried his fluffy head in the big plate to eat fish.
Zhao Yao sipped the soup, and looked at this clumsy and cute eating posture with raised lips.
The big plate of fish, usually the little milk cat can't finish it, so the little milk cat will always give the fish to the two little orange cats.
"Are you going to save these fish for those two little orange cats?"
Seeing that the little milk cat nodded, Zhao Yao said hesitantly, "Those two little orange cats have eaten rat repellant, and they are already dead."
The little milk cat who had been carefully sorting the food before suddenly froze, and the big amber eyes burst into tears.
It was the first time Zhao Yao saw the little milk cat shed tears, and the tears dripped down the fur, looking pitifully tight.
She has never seen her cry no matter how teased or bullied, but now she is crying because of the two little orange cats.
"What are you crying for?" Zhao Yao picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears that fell like beans. Even though her head was hurt so badly that day, she just listened to her humming a few words.
The little milk cat stared blankly and called: "Meow."
I'm sad, can't cry!
Wen Ruyan clearly remembered teaching the two little orange cats not to eat food in corners or particularly obvious areas.
The smell of rat repellent was so pungent, and those two little orange cats ate delicacies from mountains and seas with Wen Ruyan all day long, how could they be stupid enough to eat food mixed with rat repellent.
I remember that when I was basking in the sun in the morning, those two little orange cats followed Chunyue, the second palace person, eagerly.
Is it...
Zhao Yao stretched out her hand to gently embrace the little milk cat, and pinched the soft cheek with her fingertips. She was a little unresponsive to the sudden tears.
"If you really like it, tomorrow I will send people to Jin Taifei to get two little orange cats to raise for you to play with." Since Chaotiandian already knew about keeping cats, these two cats are likely to be the ones who were taken care of by others. People deliberately remove.
The little milk cat nestled in his arms abnormally, although he didn't answer, at least the tears stopped flowing.
Zhao Yao teased her fluttering little ears with her fingertips, thinking that the Yuqing Palace is really full of ups and downs.
