Chapter 168.2
Extra Story: The Cat Emperor And The Uninvited Emperor (1)
“Where is the Imperial Doctor? Why don’t you go call the doctor!” The Emperor gave an order.
A few physicians hurriedly rushed over and saw the difficult situation. They say, “Your Majesty …… I only heal people—this, this is an animal, I don’t know how to do it ……”
Wei Shao said, “Treat it like you treat a human being! Hurry up!”
The physicians knew that the cat’s status was more valuable than human. They did not dare to resist orders, hardened their heads, and worked together for a while.
Not sure whether the cat was not dead or was the physician saved its life, a moment later, the cat issued a weak meow.
“Alive– alive!”
All the palace attendants rejoiced. Xiao Qiao was also delighted beyond measure. Seeing the cat’s fleshy paws move, she almost jumped up in joy, grabbing Wei Shao’s arm and saying, “It’s alive, it’s alive! Great!”
Wei Shao glanced and said, “It’s good that it’s alive.” Turning his head, he said to the physicians, “Not bad, there will be a reward from me!”
The physicians wiped their sweat and were busy thanking the Emperor.
Xiao Qiao was overjoyed. The cat was alive but shivering due to cold and looked very weak. She felt heartbroken and hurriedly wrapped it with the cloth, picking it up. Wei Shao grasped the cat and said: “I’ll help you to carry it back!”
Xiao Qiao said, “No need. Don’t touch it.”
Wei Shao said, “There’s no harm. It wraps in cloth! The cat is a bit heavy. You can’t hold it ……”
He was fighting with Xiao Qiao, and his hand brushed the cat.
At this moment, a flash of lightning swept overhead, and then ‘Kerala’ scorching thunder smashed down, shocking the human eardrums. Nearby palace attendants cowardly screamed and covered their ears.
Xiao Qiao trembled with the thunder, subconsciously ducked into Wei Shao’s arms, hugged him tightly, and closed her eyes.
The thunderstorm passed.
Xiao Qiao opened her eyes and found that the dying cat had regained some strength. It stood from the cloth wrapped around it and opened a pair of glazed ball-like cat eyes, fixedly looking at her. She was worried the cat suffered from the cold and did not notice the Emperor was staring at her with shocked eyes. She released the Emperor, placed the cat on the cloth, picked it up, turned her head, and said, “It’s going to rain! Let’s go back!”
A palace staff had already opened the umbrella.
Xiao Qiao held the struggling cat tightly in her arms, stopping it from jumping out, and quickly stepped out of the pavilion. After a few steps, she saw that the Emperor was still not following her. She stopped and turned her head, “Your Majesty, it’s going to rain. Why did you still stand here?”
The Emperor, however, as if he possessed, was still standing. His eyes cast on Xiao Qiao’s face for a long time, and his expression was odd.
“Husband?”
Xiao Qiao finally realized he seemed a bit off and looked at him suspiciously.
The Emperor suddenly came back to his senses. Without looking at her again, he said. “This Emperor suddenly remembered political affairs yet to be cleared. I will go and dispose of them first. The Empress is free to do as she pleases.”
Rain begins to pour, and he walks hurriedly without waiting for the palace staff or the umbrella. He strode down the steps and headed to Imperial Study in the rain.
The servants opened their umbrellas in a panic and chased after him.
Xiao Qiao felt surprised, staring blankly at his disappearing back at the end of the palace road, sensing that Wei Shao had alienated himself from her.
In front of her, he would never call himself ‘This Emperor,’ and in private, he would rarely call her ‘Empress.’
What’s wrong with him?
The cat in her arms seemed to be in a restless mood, meowing endlessly and twisting around uncontrollably. Xiao Qiao returned to her senses, shook her head, and turned around to return to Guang Hua Palace.
……
Wei Shao howled in his heart. Everything was satisfying him today until that damn cat came out to stir things up, and then a thunderbolt came down, and inexplicably, he realized that he had turned into a cat!
No, no, to be exact, his soul went into the cat’s body while another soul took over his physical body!
He didn’t know what was happening, but between the electric collision of the exchanging moment, he captured an intention from the other party.
The one who had taken over his body was no one else but himself, his self from his previous life!
Wei Shao was taken back by Xiao Qiao, forcibly covered in cloth. He was frantic, trying in every way possible to make her realize that the Emperor was no longer himself, to remind her never to take that person for himself, lest he fooled her, but no matter how hard he tried, the only sound he could make was “Meow–” “Meow-” “Meow-“
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
This fucking cat! This cat is really against him! It usually only eats and sleeps, and its body full of meat. After jumping a few times, he felt the cat’s body was weak and couldn’t move. Finally, he only lay back on a fat stomach, collapsing in Xiao Qiao’s lap, spitting his tongue and gasping for air.
“Empress, this cat is pitiful. After today’s accident, I see it is not quite the same as usual.” A court lady said.
Xiao Qiao sighed, “Yes, the little one must have been frightened.”
She picked up the Cat Emperor and stroked its head lovingly.
“I’m your husband ah–“
Wei Shao cried out, meowing.
