Chapter 9

The Northern Liang Emperor is not honorable; what kind of hero bullies women

Seeing me mistreat the cat in such a manner, everyone broke out in a cold sweat, exchanging glances with one another

When I could no longer see anyone, I shrank my neck, broke out in a sweat, and hurriedly jumped onto the carriage and ran away

In that instant, the beast's entire body erupted with yellow fur, baring its fangs as it lunged directly at my left hand

The kitten seems to understand human speech, meowed once, walked to the cage, squatted with its head down, and stared at me.

Jia Yue has also been spoiled and still considers herself the beloved golden branch and jade leaf in the Southern Liang court. If she is so distressed by this little bit of pressure that she contemplates death, then when she arrives at the Northern Liang palace, with the Empress Dowager and the Empress above her, and favored beauties below, amidst complex factions and treacherous hearts, and with no one treating her as a treasure anymore, she will find no place to cry.

Returning to my own room, Xia He came over to help me change clothes, saying: "That cat got into trouble, and the princess no longer wants it. They ordered it to be caught and locked in the woodshed, saying they would kill it to honor Lan Feng."

The eunuch in charge of watching the cat extended his arm, which was covered in scratch marks, to show me, lamenting: "This beast may look small, but it is extremely clever. I have endured quite a few scratches while trying to catch it. Your Highness must be very careful and not approach it."

I couldn't spare time for dinner and hurried to the woodshed

It is evident that he heard every word I just said. Coincidentally, he belongs to the group of "blindly arrogant, superficial and hollow" talents that I was criticizing. If he were to speak, it would simply be nonsense. Therefore, the three men present all kept their mouths shut

I have been experiencing a headache outside, so I did not go in to pay my respects

I locked eyes with it for a moment, smiled, and instructed, "Open the cage."

"Now that's more like it." I chuckled and tucked the little creature into my embrace. The cat was quite content, only emitting a pleasant purring sound

I remained calm and unhurried, turning smoothly, my right hand reaching out to grasp the soft skin at the back of its neck, lifting it entirely.

I don't care; I might as well open the cage myself. Everyone immediately stepped back three feet.

I ask again: "Will you listen to me in the future?"

Liao Zhiyuan stared at me in astonishment, unable to speak

Left and right were greatly alarmed, "Your Highness, it is not advisable! This beast is extremely ferocious"

The cat spirit meowed once

I shivered for a moment and then stopped. At this moment, the cat in my hands had already become limp, its ears and limbs drooping.

I ignored him and walked away, leaving behind a room filled with silence

I sigh. It is one thing for the princess to be confused, but it is another for the servants to be confused as well

Regardless of whether you are a tiger or a dragon, the cats of this world have been caught in this place, and no one can bite anymore. The little creature was furious, baring its teeth and thrashing vigorously in my hand, like a fish just landed on shore. However, no matter how it struggled, it could not break free.

The yellow-haired little creature was locked in a bamboo cage, mewing weakly, its big eyes glistening with moisture, looking incredibly innocent and adorable. Had I not seen its sharp claws and teeth beforehand, I would surely have been overwhelmed with affection.

That cat was bestowed by the Emperor of Beiliang, and regardless of whether it killed a chicken or even bit a person's throat today, it remains a royal gift. The princess is certainly to be married to the Emperor of Beiliang. If she were to kill the cat sent by her future husband, how would the people of Beiliang perceive that? How would the couple get along after marriage?

The kitten meowed softly

I do not wish to engage in idle chatter, but this person happens to be blocking the main entrance

"Interesting," I said with a laugh, asking it, "Are you still going to bite me?"

As I opened my mouth, before I could utter a word, Liao Zhiyuan came to his senses, swiftly stepped aside, and assumed a demeanor of humility and restraint.

I extended my left index finger. Bystanders gasped, but the kitten reached out its paw to hold my finger, then gently licked it with its cool pink tongue, displaying an extraordinary obedience

Returning to the courtyard where the ladies were staying, I learned that the princess had already woken up and was crying, saying that she was going to marry far away in another country, but unexpectedly, before she could even leave the palace, she had suffered such humiliation. ... Reflecting on her future life in the harem, what meaning does life hold? What hope is there in living? Woe is me ...

The kitten slowly emerged from the cage. I squatted in front of it, and it came over to sniff my hand

I stood up with a smile, looked at its awkward appearance, and then shook it vigorously as if I were shaking a cloth. The cat followed the rhythm of my hand, emitting a series of strange cries
