Chapter 168.1

Extra Story: The Cat Emperor And The Uninvited Emperor (1)

Layers of silk curtains block the light from outside Guanghua Palace. Inside the shady bed chamber, an incense burner exhaled fragrance, and the pearls held by the phoenix-shaped candlestick seemed to contain clouds. In the tasseled curtains, the brocade quilt was shining. The double emerald hairpins on the beauty’s head spread on the pillow while her luscious hair was scattered, and her jade skin was glowing.

“…… Man Man want me to be faster or slower …….” The Emperor endured the fire that burned his body, slowed down a little, kissed her closed eyes, and asked her.

The beauty underneath was blushing, and her feathery eyelashes trembled slightly.

“Like this?”

“Or like this?”

“I want you to say ……”

“En– …… everything is fine ……”

The beauty finally spoke, and the Emperor felt happy, interlacing their lips. The dragon root rising and the collision from gold hooks and jade pendant sounded, interspersed with the beauty’s sobs.

Our wise and mighty Emperor held his pretty Empress to roll on the dragon bed when the sound of people talking came from outside.

The cat from the Jiade Palace ran out and fell into the Ganquan Pool in the Royal Garden. The cat was getting older, and it usually not doing much activity during the day, only sunbathing and sleeping. Today, the palace attendants do not pay much attention and discover the cat has drowned in the pool.

Empress Dowager raised this cat for many years. The cat is seven or eight years old, with a fat body as white as an embroidered ball. Fei Fei, the little Princess, liked it so much. She would play with it every day. Because they were going to the temple, they left it in the palace due to inconvenience.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened.

Palace attendants were terrified. When they saw the cat no longer breathing, they ran to the Empress to report and ask for punishment. Naturally, the palace guards stopped them outside the Guanghua Palace.

The inner palace was already quiet. At this moment in the afternoon, it was even more silent. Once they talked outside, the sound was transmitted inside.

Wei Shao wrapping Xiao Qiao like an octopus. He did not hear what was said outside, only vaguely hearing the palace attendant’ sobs as if something had happened. Xiao Qiao opened her eyes and pushed him.

Wei Shao felt disturbed. He was naturally unhappy and said, ‘Ignore.’ But she kept pushing him, and he had no choice but to stop. Without getting off the dragon bed, he lifted the curtain with one hand and roared angrily: “What’s the matter that was so important and risking your heads?”

The guards outside, who didn’t dare to take this matter to disturb the Emperor and Empress, whispered to the palace attendants to wait. When they heard the Emperor’s roar, they startled and knelt.

Xiao Qiao heard it clearly and was shocked. That cat had accompanied the Empress Dowager for many years, and her daughter was also fond of it.

Xiao Qiao herself also liked it and had raised it for many years. Her feelings were not shallow. But because Wei Shao was allergic, she never allowed it to enter the Guanghua Palace.

She didn’t expect it to fall into the pool and drown!

Xiao Qiao let out a yelp of anxiety, pushed Wei Shao away, and sat up, hurriedly trying to put on her clothes.

Wei Shao frowned and forcibly pressed her back down onto the bed.

“Something happened to the cat!” Xiao Qiao pushed him.

“I’ll finish my business first ……”

Wei Shao looked tense, pressed her, and did things ruthlessly. After finally reloading, he exhaled a long breath, lying on top of her, completely relaxing.

“…… I’ll be back early in the evening, you wait for me …… I still want to ……”

After finishing his business, he still hugged her with an aggrieved expression. He never liked that cat and probably didn’t care if it died.

Xiao Qiao rolled her eyes at him, complaining that he was cold-blooded. She pushed him away, got out of bed, and hurriedly put on her clothes.

Wei Shao leaped from the bed and got up with her, baring his teeth at her, “I’ll join you to take a look!”

Xiao Qiao hurriedly finished up and came out. There was already a line of attendants kneeling outside the palace. When the palace staff from Jiade Palace saw the Emperor and the Empress, they felt terrified and pleaded for forgiveness.

The weather was still sunny when the Guanghua Palace’s door was closed. But now, the sky had turned cloudy, the air was dense, and lightning hid between the clouds. It looked as if a thunderstorm was about to fall.

Xiao Qiao looked up at the color of the sky and hurriedly headed for the Ganquan Pond. Wei Shao followed her footsteps and descended the steps. A drop of rainwater hit his face, a little wet and cold.

……

Inside a pavilion by the pool, the palace attendants that surrounded the wrapped cat hollered and knelt when they saw the Emperor.

Xiao Qiao ran to the side of the cat, carried it into her arms, and called it a few times. She pressed its stomach. Its two ears drooped down feebly, and its four fleshy paws didn’t move, looked dead. She was heartbroken and anxious, and turned back to Wei Shao and said, “What to do? What to do?”

Wei Shao saw that she was about to cry out, distressed, and sternly scolded the palace attendants for not keeping an eye on the cat.

The palace attendants were already knelt in trembling. When they saw the Emperor was furious, they felt more fearful and touched their foreheads to the ground.
