The little palace maid is charming and charming, and she is a disaster along the way

Chapter 65, Choice

Concubine Zhang felt her lower abdomen tighten.

"Say it again!" Concubine Zhang had cold sweat on her forehead and her eyes were fixed on Luzhi, who was already frightened out of her wits.

"The second princess was frightened by the orange cat and fell off the rockery..."

"Meow-"

Yuxue, who was held in Concubine Zhang's arms, meowed in her arms because her fur was pulled.

However, no matter how much pain it was in, it did not bite back at Concubine Zhang. It was only with its soft and tender voice that it saved itself from Concubine Zhang.

"Meow~"

Concubine Zhang looked at Yuxue, who was quite well-behaved in her arms, and a sweet smile suddenly appeared on her gloomy face.

"My poor Yuxue~ She has been locked in a cage since the beginning of autumn. Now she finally has a chance to go out and get some fresh air." Concubine Zhang said, throwing Yuxue into Luzhi's arms, "Even if the Queen summons you, why don't you quickly take the cage up."

Anything could happen to anyone or any cat, but nothing could happen to her, Zhang Leyao, and Yuxue.

Under the ambitious gaze of Concubine Zhang, Luzhi finally reacted and hurriedly stuffed Yuxue into the wooden cage.

"Yuxue has been locked in a cage for a long time. She really feels wronged..."

Since it had been locked in a cage all along, the orange cat that scared the second princess could not be Yuxue.

……

In Kunning Palace, people were in panic.

The second princess, Xie Zhaoning, was the legitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager. Ever since she fell from the rockery at night, a gloomy atmosphere had enveloped the entire Kunning Palace.

Shen Qingtang, who was following closely behind Dingxiang, had just stepped over the gate of Kunning Palace when he heard the little girl's cries.

The crying was sharp and piercing, not only hitting her eardrums, but even Little Orange seemed to sense the unusual atmosphere and began to twist his body restlessly in Pomegranate's arms.

"Meow~meow~"

Little Orange was crying anxiously in Shi Liu's arms. As they got closer to Queen Ye's bedroom, the little girl's arrogant and domineering voice became clearer and clearer.

“…Wuwuwuwawuwu, where is that cat meowing? Wuwuwuwu, mother, please order someone to beat it to death. Wuwuwuwu… All cats in the world deserve to die… Zhaoning’s face hurts so much, is your daughter disfigured? Wuwuwuwu…”

In the bedroom, the second princess Xie Zhaoning, who had just woken up from a coma, lay in Queen Ye's arms and cried breathlessly.

The second princess, Xie Zhaoning, is the only surviving descendant of Queen Ye.

Whenever Empress Ye thought of Zhaoning's miserable appearance as he was sent back with blood all over his head, she could not help shaking with fear.

Now seeing her crying so sadly again, Queen Ye, who had been holding her, felt even more distressed.

"Zhao Ning, are you sure that the cat that scared you is orange?" Although Queen Ye was asking Princess Zhao Ning, her eyes never shifted away from Emperor Yu Ji.

After all, the people involved now include not only Concubine Zhang who is pregnant but also Concubine Shu who is favored by Emperor Yuji. If...

Empress Ye had something in mind, and her eyes became extremely cruel.

Princess Zhaoning's eyes were filled with resentment after hearing Queen Ye's words.

"Yes! That's right!" Princess Zhaoning cried even harder when she thought of her broken face. "... Father, Mother, Zhaoning is in so much pain... If you find that cat, you must avenge your daughter. Even if you tear its tendons and skin it alive, it won't be enough to vent my hatred. Woo woo woo..."

When Princess Zhaoning's face was ravaged by tears full of resentment, Shen Qingtang finally arrived outside Queen Ye's bedroom.

Before she could enter, she heard the indifferent but helpless voice of Emperor Yu Ji, mixed with the wailing of Princess Zhao Ning, all entering her ears.

"…It definitely can't be Lady Shu's cat."

"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen... Father, you don't love Zhaoning anymore... Mother Zhaoning was harmed so badly by that cat..." Listening to the voice coming from inside, Dingxiang bowed to Shen Qingtang without changing her expression.

"Lady Shu, please wait a moment. I will go in and report."

"Thank you, Miss Dingxiang."

After Shen Qingtang finished speaking, Dingxiang had already stepped into the bedroom.

However, Shen Qingtang didn't have to wait long before Queen Ye summoned her.

"I give you to the emperor——"

Queen Ye, who now disliked Shen Qingtang very much, pierced Shen Qingtang with her cold and stern eyes.

"Lady Shu, where is your cat?!"

"Your Majesty, this is the little orange that I raised."

Shen Qingtang calmly took Little Juzi from Shi Liu's arms. However, what she didn't expect was that before she showed Little Juzi to Queen Ye, Princess Zhaoning, who had been crying in Queen Ye's arms, suddenly pointed at Little Juzi while crying.

"That's it, that's it!"

Princess Zhaoning just took a quick glance and kept nagging Emperor Yu Ji and Queen Ye to beat Xiao Juzi to death.

"Father, mother, it's it, it's it, it's the one that caused me to fall off the rockery, kill it, kill it quickly!!!"

"Princess Zhaoning, you might as well take a closer look. Little Orange has always lived in Fanghua Palace and never went out. I'm sure she scared you today..."

Just as Shen Qingtang was about to explain, he was interrupted by Zi Su who had returned from Linfengju.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Zhang is here."

"Let her in!"

As early as when Shen Qingtang wanted to explain, Queen Ye had a cold look on her face. Now when she heard that Concubine Zhang was also here, her face suddenly became even darker.

It was all these concubines who caused the trouble, otherwise how could her Zhaoning suffer such a disaster!

but--

Empress Ye held Princess Zhaoning in her arms, and when she looked at Emperor Yuji, there was a weakness and fear in her eyes that she had never revealed before.

"Your Majesty, Zhaoning is our only daughter. Do you know how terrified and helpless I was when I saw her fall and lose consciousness with blood all over her head? At that time, I was really afraid that she would leave me like Hui'er..."

Empress Ye was in tears. Thinking of her experience of losing her eldest son, Emperor Yuji could not bear it and embraced her and Zhaoning in his arms.

"What does the Queen think?"

He thought that he already understood what Queen Ye was thinking.

Sure enough, when Concubine Zhang brought Yuxue in, Empress Ye's cold gaze fell on Shen Qingtang and Concubine Zhang like a bone-scraping knife.

"They are the only two people in the palace who have orange cats. You said it wasn't Concubine Shu, so it must be Concubine Zhang. I can consider that Concubine Zhang is pregnant and not pursue the matter, but her cat must die as an apology!"

……

When the Kunning Palace was about to deal with Concubine Zhang's cat because of Princess Zhaoning, someone hidden in the darkness in a corner of the palace clapped his hands in admiration behind layers of curtains.

"Your Majesty, you have used the same trick as the other party. It is really amazing. I believe that in order to appease the Queen and Princess Zhaoning, the Emperor must give up one of them. No matter who it is, I am afraid that they will suffer a serious injury..."

As the man was speaking, he suddenly chuckled expectantly.

"If Concubine Shu loves me too deeply, she will be hurt and separated from me. Concubine Zhang's pregnancy is unstable, so she will have a miscarriage... Your Majesty, who do you think the Emperor will choose?"
