Chapter 19: Death Deserved
"What's wrong with that Persian cat?!"
Kou Yuexin, who was standing on the side, immediately turned pale and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Back to the emperor, that Persian cat..... He's dead. ”
The palace maid pursed the corners of her mouth tightly, her eyes didn't look at Kou Yuexin, her voice trembled and scared, and she spit out for a long time before she spoke.
"My cat!"
The little palace maid slipped down, Kou Yuexin frowned, her face turned pale for a while, and she almost fell to the ground when her feet were soft, but fortunately she was supported by the maid next to her.
"Dead!?"
All the ladies gasped, and they were so frightened that they raised their sleeves and covered the lower half of their faces, as if they didn't want to see anything unlucky.
When Princess Yale heard this, her face immediately became even more angry, and she stepped forward and slapped the little palace maid in the face.
"Didn't I say that two cats might fight, so you should watch over them!"
The palace maid's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The princess spares her life!" Princess, spare your life! The slave doesn't dare anymore! ”
She would be so scared because Princess Yale had specially ordered the two cats to be put together.
"Killed the favorite cat of the county lord of Jianing, how many lives are you worth?"
Princess Yale stared at her fiercely, but she didn't turn her head to ask Kou Yuexin at all.
Kou Yuexin was supported by the maid, her face was pale, and her voice was inaudible, but she still said it.
"Princess, it's just a cat, princess doesn't have to make a big deal about it."
That Persian cat was given to her by Kou Yuexin's brother Kou Weixi when she was a child, and it was also the last gift Kou Weixi gave to Kou Yuexin.
Soon after, Kou Weixi was killed on the battlefield, and his body was not found.
Rong Yunxi knew all this, she never thought that this life would have such a result.
But now, she is a princess, she is just a courtier.
When the princess heard this, she immediately turned her head and walked up to Kou Yuexin with a sad face.
"Lord Jianing, this matter is always the princess's palace maid who has no heart, and you say that you want to punish me."
"It's just the cat...... It's true that I can't come back, so it's better to send the princess's snow to the county lord of Jianing, which is considered compensation, how about it? ”
What she said was too sincere, so sincere that the little girl who was holding the county lord of Jianing turned red with anger and pursed her lips.
Kou Yuexin's face turned even paler, she bit her lower lip tightly and turned around to leave with the support of the maid.
"Pleasant...... Thank you for your kindness, but I can't afford the princess's cat, if the princess insists on sending it, then I implore the princess to transfer the cat to Yunxi. ”
The corners of Princess Yale's mouth pulled up an imperceptible smile, and her face was still sad.
"Okay, come on, bring that cat to Rong Yunxi."
"Yes."
After Shiso answered, Princess Yale frowned and followed up to ask another matter.
"Lord Jianing, what are you going to do with this palace maid?"
Kou Yue's heart stiffened, and she turned her head to look at the palace maid, her eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, and no one knew whether she was looking at the palace maid, or through the palace maid, she was looking at Yale.
Her face was as cold as ice, and she coldly spit out a few words, "Drag it down, let's kill it." ”
"Kill ...... with a cane!"
The ladies and dependents let out a low cry again, in order to see the excitement and not think it was a big deal, some good people even stepped forward and said a few words.
"Lord Jianing, it's just a cat left and right, why should you bother?"
"Isn't a human life more valuable than a cat?"
The county lord of Jianing bit his bloodless lower lip tightly, but he didn't say a word, "The princess forgives me, I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back to the room first." ”
Princess Yale's face was anxious and worried, and she hurriedly sent someone to send Kou Yuexin back to the room.
Rong Yunxi also received from Zi Su the snow and plum hunting that Princess Yale said at the beginning.
It was only pitch black, except for the four white-haired cats, which were considered to be middle and upper class in the cat's suit, and were generally given to the palace or given to the princes for fun.
Ultimately...... It's just a cat......
Rong Yunxi hugged the black cat, and her heart was as cold as ice.
"This cat is very precious, you have to take good care of it after you bring it back, if I find out that you are not good to this cat, I will be angry at that time."
Princess Yale smiled playfully and slowly walked in front of Rong Yunxi.
"Do as the princess commands."
After approaching, Princess Yale suddenly lowered her voice, "Rong Yunxi, you saw that dead cat, you have to be careful, that dead cat is your fate in the future." ”
Rong Yunxi was shocked, and the hand holding the cat couldn't help but shake violently, causing the cat to bark.
By the time she came back to her senses, Princess Yale had already taken all the ladies away.
At this time, Rong Yunxi, who felt that his palm was wrapped in warmth, was suddenly startled, his body was pulled by a force, and he fell uncontrollably into a warm embrace in an instant.
"I'm a little uncomfortable."
Rong Yunxi hugged the cat, her voice was low and cold, and she subconsciously wanted to push Qi Zhan's arms away.
"What's wrong? I'm going to call the Imperial Doctor! ”
Qi Zhan's face became anxious for a moment, and he turned around to find the imperial doctor, and he really didn't look like he was faking at all.
"No need."
Rong Yunxi's cold voice pulled Qi Zhan's thoughts back, and his footsteps stopped for a moment.
"Are you still mad at me about what happened?"
"How dare I? You are a high prince, what am I, how can I be qualified and brave to hate you? ”
Rong Yunxi shook his head and looked into the distance, saying this kind of thing clearly, but the look in his eyes was like an old man in his twilight years.
"Everything I have is just a chess piece in the hands of the Seventh Prince, and all the joys, sorrows, and sorrows I have in front of you are just carefully designed for your future."
"It's clear that each has a ghost, so why bother here, pretending to be affectionate?."
A bright smile appeared on Rong Yunxi's face, but this smile and this tone looked like mockery.
A strange look flashed in Qi Zhan's eyes, and Rong Yunxi couldn't tell whether his suddenly sad tone was to achieve his own goals or to tell the truth.
"Ah Xi, I really didn't approach you for the power of the Hou Mansion and the National Doctor Mansion."
"I'm not a three-year-old anymore, Lord Seven."
"Do you think I'm going to be the next Princess of Yaraku?"
Rong Yunxi turned his head, his gaze cold and sharp.
"I, Rong Yunxi, will never be at the mercy of others, and I don't want to be a pawn in the hands of others, so Lord Seven, I don't think you need to waste your efforts on me!"
After saying that, she left directly, not even leaving Qi Zhan a chance to say a word.
"Ah Xi ......"
Qi Zhan's eyes fell, and he stood in place and watched Rong Yunxi walk away, but he didn't have the slightest intention of catching up.
He suddenly glanced at the figure that had been hiding in the corner, and the corners of his mouth curled.
"Yunxi."
At this time, a clear voice came, Rong Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then saw the prince of Mobei who came over.
"Why are you standing here alone?"
