Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Burning Monster Cat
After a good night's sleep, Xiao Mo'er got up early and went to Ye Xi Pavilion to visit Feng Xiye.
"The concubine has seen His Highness. β
"Mo'er, are you here?" Feng Xiye's injuries are almost healed, and he only needs to recuperate for a few more days.
"Is Your Highness's body okay?" Xiao Mo'er saw that Feng Xiye was looking good, and stepped forward to help Feng Xiye get up and take a walk in the courtyard.
"Well, it's much better, why haven't you seen Mo'er come to see me for the past two days?" Feng Xiye stopped and looked at Xiao Mo'er.
"There have been some small things in the past two days, so I haven't been able to take care of Your Highness, please don't blame Your Highness. β
"Oh, are you still learning cooking with Rou'er, and you don't even pay attention to your husband?" Feng Xiye took Xiao Mo'er's hand and pretended to blame.
Xiao Mo'er withdrew the hand held by Feng Xiye without a trace, and smiled slightly, "Your Highness said that you are laughing, how can Mo'er learn cooking skills and not take care of her husband?" Then she told Feng Xiye about the disappearance of the cat, including the matter of seeing the woman in white, Xiao Mo'er knew that even if she didn't tell it, Feng Xiye would know, it was better to say it first.
After that, he accompanied Feng Xiye to have breakfast sent by Zeng Rouer before returning to Yimoju. Mu Ruoqino has been waiting for a long time.
"My subordinates have seen the crown princess. Mu Ruoqinuo clasped his fists and saluted.
"Well, excuse me, this cat is for you. Xiao Mo'er hugged the white cat dyed purple to Mu Ruoqinuo.
The little white cat was obediently held by Mu Ruoqinuo and did not dare to be presumptuous. Mu Ruoqinuo felt strange, but he didn't find any problems, and thanked Xiao Mo'er and left.
On the second day, the streets and alleys of Kyoto were plastered with imperial billboards. "Come and see, come and see, what's sticked. β
"Wow, there's a cat in the picture, I don't know what it's written about. β
"Yes, what is written, I can't read, Boss Zhou, read it to everyone. A certain vendor said to the pot-bellied grocery store owner Zhou. Boss Zhou looked around with contempt, it seemed that there were few literate people, and he opened his mouth to read aloud: "My emperor has an order, the chaotic party assassinated the prince of our dynasty, the behavior is bad, the intentions are ill, and there is a purple demon cat cholera world, my emperor is very indignant, and now he ordered to stab the demon cat to death, and the Huangmen city tower will be burned in the afternoon three days later." β
"Wow, there is such a thing, the chaotic party is too bold and reckless. "Passerby A.
"Yes, yes, even the prince was assassinated, that's the real son. An old woman put her hands together and looked at the sky with emotion.
"But what's the matter with this demon cat?"
"You don't know this, I saw it that day, on the street not far from the prince's mansion, the prince was surrounded by people in black, and suddenly came up with a purple cat, the size and appearance of a cat, but who has ever seen a purple cat, it must be a cat demon. "Passerby C.
"Ahh A young woman asked nervously.
"That's why the emperor ordered the fire, the true Son of Heaven can't subdue a cat, don't worry. The young woman's husband patted the young woman on the shoulder and comforted her.
"My emperor is wise. β
"My emperor is wise. β
"My emperor is wise. β
The people knelt down in unison, kneeling in the direction of the palace, shouting in their mouths that our emperor was wise. In a carriage not far from the Emperor's List, a white-clothed young man clenched his fists tightly, and the flame on his head was darker, just like the anger he was now experiencing. "Mother, you have to send the cat back, now it is going to die, and the woman doesn't care whether it lives or dies. β
The woman in white frowned slightly, her eyes were puzzled, and she never spoke.
"Hmph, that woman, I can't spare him. The young man in white said fiercely, his eyes falling with murderous intent.
"No, you can't. The woman in white spoke up urgently.
"Why, mother, what is your relationship with that woman, and why did you stop the child?"
"Don't ask too much, just listen to your mother. The cat is its destiny. The woman in white gave a sharp order, her expression serious. The boy was sullen and stopped making a sound.
Three days later, early in the morning, the people of the Huangmen City Tower gathered, which was extremely spectacular. Under the castle tower, dry firewood was piled up to form a two-person high platform, presumably the demon cat was going to be burned at noon.
In a desolate courtyard somewhere in Kyoto, a man dressed in white and wearing a silver mask with a flame-shaped mark between his eyebrows came to life, like a raging fire.
"Luo'er, where are you going?" a woman's voice sounded from behind her, and the woman was dressed in a white gauze dress with a veil.
The white-clothed masked man called Luo'er turned around and sighed, "Mother, let the child go." β
"Let you go? I know it's a trap, why do you want to go?" the woman in white was slightly angry.
"Mother... Then how can you let me watch the cat die?" Luo'er gently tugged at the sleeve of the woman in white, and prayed anxiously.
"Whether the cat is dead or alive is its life, you can't send it to death, Fengxi Emperor must have laid a net waiting for you, Luo'er, why are you so stupid?" the woman shook her head sadly, comforting.
"Mother, with the child's force, no one can hurt the child, so let the child go. Luo'er's voice seemed to be crying, but the woman was still unmoved: "You can resist a thousand armies, but you can't defeat ten thousand horses, do you really think you are invincible?
"Mother..."
"Don't say it, let's leave for the village, this time, it's nothing more than to explore the reality of Fengxi, and give them a dismount, the purpose is to stay for a long time, go and pack up. Someone came, and accompanied the son to pack his things. The woman in white said, and two women in pink clothes stepped forward, "Childe, let's go back to the room and pack up." β
Luo'er shook off the two women in pink, "Mother, are you spying on the child?"
The woman sighed, said no more, shook her head and walked back to her room to pack up.
Luo'er was "accompanied" by the woman in pink, went back to the room to pack up, the woman in pink didn't give Luo'er a chance to slip away, and the angry Luo'er lay back on the bed, covered the quilt and no longer moved, and could faintly hear the sound of crying. In the middle of the night, the door was gently pushed open. "Master, the son hid in the quilt and refused to come out. β
The woman in white shook her head, walked to the bed, put her fingers a little through the quilt, and Luo'er was silent. "Lift the son into the carriage and set off back to the village. β

"Lord Qiyu Muruo, noon is coming soon, and there is still no movement. A guard bowed to Mu Ruoqinuo, who was standing on the castle tower. Mu Ruoqinuo rubbed his aching temples, looked at the sun overhead, and waved his hand to signal the guards to go down.
"What's the matter? No one has come yet?"
Mu Ruoqinuo looked at the people, and Feng Xiye, who had recovered from his injuries, took Xiao Mo'er to the Imperial City Tower.
"My subordinates have seen the crown prince, the crown princess. Back to the prince's words, there is no change. β
Feng Xiye frowned, and looked down at the city tower standing with Xiao Mo'er, they were just people watching the excitement, and there was nothing abnormal.
"Prince Qiyu, noon has arrived, will the execution begin?" Wu Jun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, walked up to the city tower and asked Feng Xiye.
"Well, since there is no one to save it, let's burn the purple cat and appease the people. Feng Xiye looked at the crowd and said thoughtfully.
"Obey. Wu Jun walked down the city tower and executed the punishment of burning the purple cat. The surrounding people cheered and praised our emperor for his wisdom.
