Yong Lian shook Xiayue's hand and said, "Mother, it's okay, it's just some smell. I don't think it smells bad. Don't talk about them."
Seeing what he said, Xianyue couldn't be harsh and told them to be more careful in the future and not to make such mistakes again.
After pulling Yonglian out of the pavilion, Xianyue said: "After feeding the cat, my aunt has something else to give to you."
Upon hearing this, Yonglian immediately opened his eyes and asked, "What is it? Where is it?"
"Why are you so anxious? I told you that I can't send you off until I finish feeding you." Xianyue deliberately whetted his appetite and said, "Okay, let's go there quickly."
Seeing that Yong Lian couldn't find anything out, he had to go with Xianyue, but it was very strange today that he didn't see the black cat. During this period, it had been used to being fed by Yong Lian, and he knew that Yong Lian was at this time.
I would come here and have been waiting in the corner for a long time, but today I didn't see it after waiting for a long time.
Yong Lian couldn't wait for a long time and couldn't help but said: "Auntie, it's snowing today and it's frozen, so it can't come over? Or is it caught?"
Xianyue comforted him and said: "The whole palace knows that your second elder brother comes here every day to feed the cat. Who will catch it? As for being cold, he won't. Don't worry so much. Maybe you can wait a while."
It’s coming.”
Yong Lian nodded helplessly and kept looking around, but he never saw the cat appear. Yong Lian kept asking questions. Qi Kuan said at the side: "Master, you sent your slave to follow that cat last time, maybe
We know where it is, why don't we go over and have a look, otherwise the second elder brother may not feel at ease."
"That's fine." Xianyue nodded and was about to leave when Aluo suddenly pointed forward and said, "Master, look quickly, that cat is coming."
Before Xianyue could speak, Yonglian had already clapped her hands and shouted: "Yes, the kitten is here, it's okay, aunt, it's okay!"
Xianyue smiled and nodded. The cat's walking movements were a bit strange and crooked, as if it was drunk. Xianyue asked Yonglian to open the oil paper bag and put it on the ground. After this period of contact, the black cat no longer
If you resist them too much, they will come close to eat the fish that Yong Lian brings.
Yong Lian knelt down and waved: "Little kitten, come here and eat your favorite fish."
The black cat walked staggeringly. The fish it usually liked the most seemed unattractive this time, and it didn't even look at it. When it was about ten steps away from Yonglian, it suddenly stopped and pressed its nose.
It fluttered for a few times, and its two vertical pupils landed firmly on Yong Lian. Then, it gave a sharp "meow" cry, changed from its previous slow manner, and rushed towards Yong Lian like an arrow off its string.
.
When the black cat first appeared, Xianyue felt something was wrong and kept staring at it. Therefore, when something unexpected happened, Xianyue was also the fastest to react. She quickly picked up Yonglian and moved aside. The black cat pounced.
Empty, but the cat's face looked more and more excited, all four legs kicked, revealing sharp
Its claws were about to pounce on Yonglian again, but this time as soon as its feet left the ground, it was hit hard on the belly and kicked to the side. Its limbs were twitching, but even so, it still struggled.
He got up and walked towards Yonglian, looking like a maggot attached to his bones.
However, after being kicked by Qi Kuan, the kitten was seriously injured. Blood dripped from its mouth and nose as it walked, and it couldn't walk fast at all. Seeing it like this, Yong Lian felt so distressed that he completely forgot about the danger just now and struggled
He said: "Auntie, please put me down. I want to see it. You see it is bleeding. It must have been injured by Qi Kuan's kick just now."
Hearing this, Xianyue hugged Yonglian tighter and said in a concentrated voice: "Don't go there!"
"Auntie, why don't you let me go? I..." Before Yonglian finished speaking, Xianyue said, "Do you listen to auntie?"
When she asked this question, Yong Lian had no choice but to stop struggling, but kept staring at the cat with a look of unbearability.
When he was about to reach Xianyue's feet, the black cat finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground. After twitching for a while, the black cat's legs froze there. Qi Kuan broke a branch from the side and poked the black cat a few times.
The cat never responded.
"Master, he should be dead." After hearing Qi Kuan's words, Yong Lian's tears fell immediately, but he still did not struggle and allowed Xianyue to hold him.
After confirming that the black cat was dead and there would no longer be any threat, Xianyue put Yong Lian down. As soon as Yong Lian's feet landed on the ground, he ran towards the black cat, but no matter how he barked, the cat did not
After reacting, Yong Lian was sad and couldn't help complaining to Qi Kuan: "Why did you kick it so hard? You kicked it to death. You compensate me, you compensate me for the kitten!"
Qi Kuan said quickly: "I deserve to die, but I was just afraid that it would hurt the second elder brother. Please forgive me, second elder brother."
"I come here every day to feed it, how could it hurt me, you...it's all your fault!" Yong Lian became more and more sad as he spoke, and tears kept falling down.
Xianyue went over and knelt down and said: "Second brother, don't be like this. The situation was indeed critical just now. Qi Kuan did nothing wrong. Otherwise, what if it pounces on you and hurts you?"
"No, it won't hurt me. It just wants to play with me, but...but now it won't move anymore. Oh, aunt, I want a kitten. Let Qi Kuan take the kitten.
I'll make it up to you." Yong Lian had fed this cat for several months and had developed a deep affection for it, but now he could not bear to see it die in front of him.
Xianyue gently stroked his back and comforted him: "Don't be sad. Next time, my aunt will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a better-looking cat, okay?"
Yonglian cried and said: "No, I want it! I want it!"
Xianyue glanced at the kitten's sharp claws stretched out of the pads, and gently advised: "Stop making trouble, be good, stop making trouble, you go back to Kunning Palace first, my aunt will come over to find you after she finishes the things here.
"Don't worry, my aunt will help you bury this cat properly."
Under Xianyue's coaxing and the palace people's half-way procrastination, Yonglian finally left. However, when Qi Kuan was about to take the cat and bury it, Xianyue stopped him and said: "Don't bury it in a hurry. Let's bury it first."
Take it back, be careful not to get caught by its claws. Also, Zhichun, go and invite Imperial Physician Song here."
Although Qi Kuan didn't know what was so good about a dead cat, he still took it back to the Yanxi Palace obediently. He was afraid of being discovered along the way, so he used his hands to cover it and returned to the Yanxi Palace covertly.
After placing the cat body on the ground, Qi Kuan said: "Master, did you find something?"
Xianyue looked solemn and said: "I'm not sure, I'll wait until the Song Dynasty doctor comes and see everything before we talk."
After waiting for an appointment to touch a stick of incense, Zhichun brought Song Zihua in. Xianyue didn't say much and just asked him to see if there was anything weird about the cat corpse.
