Chapter 253 The Queen Mother and the Regent Who Became a Cat 15

Inside the warm tent, the scent of pears spread.

Zong Yue originally wanted to draw aside the curtain and use the moonlight to see the face of the beauty beneath him clearly.

But Cha Jiu pulled off the gauze beside the bed and covered his eyes.

"You don't want me to see you." Zong Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, "Or... you prefer it this way."

Neither.

Cha Jiu thought.

She was just afraid that Zong Yue would wilt on the spot after seeing who she was.

So Cha Jiu joked, "I'm ugly, I don't want to scare you."

Zong Yue chuckled, his hot and solid chest trembling slightly.

He obeyed Yu Chajiu and did not take off the veil from her eyes. Instead, he lowered his head and kissed her eyebrows.

"Your eyebrows are like distant mountains, curved like a sharp sword, heroic and cool."

His thin lips swept across her undulating eyes, her long eyelashes, and the curve at the end of her eyes through the thin eyelids.

"Eyes are like apricots, bringing a refreshing breeze."

His kiss was delicate and gentle, following her face bit by bit.

"The nose is straight and small and slender."

"Her lips are like pearls and jade, and they are so beautiful that no one can compare to them."

Zong Yue paused for a moment: "You look a lot like someone."

Cha Jiuzhending: "Who does he look like?"

Zong Yue didn't say much, just said: "A poor man."

He is always so rigid and serious, not as lively as his cat.

Cha Jiu put her arms around his neck and smiled sweetly: "So, I look like a poor person."

Zong Yue kissed her on the lips lovingly: "As long as you are by my side, you will never be pitiful."

He would bring all the treasures in the world to her.

Let her be happy forever and free from worries.

The system prompts: "Zong Yue's favorability has reached 60%."

Cha Jiu thought for a moment and decided not to exchange the fertility potion for the time being.

Her body is not stable yet. Sometimes she is a cat and sometimes she is a human. She doesn't know if being pregnant at this time will affect the species of the baby.

To be on the safe side, I'd better wait until I find a way to turn back into a human.

But this does not prevent her from trying out Zong Yue's strength tonight.

But when her hand moved across Zong Yue's ravine-shaped abdomen, he caught it.

Zong Yue was delighted to meet him tonight.

But he didn't want to possess her at this time.

"We still have a long time." His voice was slightly hoarse, but very clear.

Zong Yue remained rational even when he was emotional.

This was only the second time that he and Cha Jiu met each other as humans, and Cha Jiu's condition was still unstable and might change back at any time.

He didn't want to hurt her.

Cha Jiu was startled for a moment, and the next second she was gently embraced in his arms.

"Go to sleep." Zong Yue closed his eyes, held her in one hand, and patted her back with the other hand, one after another, soothing her like he would a cat.

Amid such reassuring comfort, Cha Jiu gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Sure enough, Zong Yue woke up in the middle of the night and felt empty in his arms.

He pulled off the gauze from his eyes and saw Cha Jiu had turned back into a cat lying in the quilt.

He breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he had made the right choice.

…

The Regent's Palace began to spend a lot of money to recruit all kinds of extraordinary people from the public to visit the palace.

However, when these people arrived and heard that what the Regent wanted was a method that could completely transform the beasts into human form, they were stunned.

The system said: "There are thousands of magics in the world, all of which are kept secret by various sects. It is difficult for these people to tell that you have been hit by the witchcraft of the Gaoshan tribe, let alone help you solve it."

Now that his favorability has gone up, Cha Jiu doesn't want to be a cat anymore.

"Then how can I remove the witchcraft on me?"

The system searched for information: "To untie the bell, you must find the person who tied it. You must find the wizard who cast the spell on you and take a bit of his blood, and the spell will be untied."

Now these three wizards are still waiting in the palace.

Originally, Cha Jiu was still thinking about how to enter the palace.

But it happened that the New Year was approaching, and Zong Yue had to attend the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, so Cha Jiu could go with him.

At first, Yun An was worried about his own prince: "If I bring the cat into the palace, what if His Majesty recognizes it?"

This cat was originally "stolen" by the prince.

Now he has to bring her in front of the real owner, which makes him sweat for the prince.

Yunkang saw it more clearly than he did, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether you can recognize it or not. No matter what it is in this world, as long as the prince recognizes it, it will definitely not have a second owner."

This is true for cats and other things as well.

It all depends on whether the prince wants it or not.

Zong Yue raised his arms and was helped to change his clothes. He did not respond to Yun Kang's words.

Everyone knew that he meant it by tacit consent.

At the banquet today, Zong Yue was wearing a black court robe embroidered with a gold dragon robe, his hair was neatly tied up, and with his tall stature of over 1.9 meters, he looked extremely majestic.

Cha Jiu squatted at his feet and looked at him curiously.

The cold Regent looked down at the cat, and the coldness in his eyes melted away instantly, and a soft color surged: "Your new clothes today are also very beautiful."

Cha Jiu sat in a circle, looking at her new clothes.

A red cape with a hood made of white fur sewn around the back of the head.

The cat's fluffy head, round innocent eyes, and pink little ears make it extremely cute.

Zong Yue picked up the cat affectionately, not caring whether his court dress would be soiled by the cat's paws.

People are used to it.

The housekeeper even thought that even if the prince had a princess in the future, he would probably not favor her more than the cat.

As he passed by the courtyard, Cha Jiu took another look at the pear tree.

The branches of the pear trees are covered with white snow, which makes them look like pear blossoms blooming early in winter. It is very beautiful.

"The first batch of pear blossoms will soon bloom." Zong Yue rubbed the cat's head, "Then I'll accompany you to see the real pear blossoms, okay?"

Cha Jiu rubbed the front of his shirt.

…

The palace banquet on New Year’s Eve was extremely lively.

The Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Regent, and all the important officials of the court must be present.

Although the little emperor had not found Cha Jiu yet, he was not panicked.

Because the Lin family has already thought of a solution for him.

That is to find someone who is similar in body shape and appearance, change his appearance, and temporarily replace Cha Jiu.

But Zong Yue, who was sitting at the table, could tell at a glance that the empress dowager was a fake.

The fake empress dowager’s appearance was so realistic that it could be mistaken for real, but a person’s demeanor and bearing were not something that could be easily imitated, especially the imitation of the majesty of a superior.

The fake empress dowager behaved in a restrained manner, her eyes were wandering, and when court officials toasted her, she had to steal a glance at Duke Lin before she dared to reply.

It seems that the Lin family is also involved in the Queen Mother's disappearance.

Zong Yue even felt that the fake empress dowager's demeanor was not as good as the cat in his arms.

At this time, Cha Jiu was looking for an opportunity to temporarily leave Zong Yue.

The system has already reported the locations of the three wizards to her. She has to find them as soon as possible and remove the witchcraft from her body.

Suddenly, an inexplicable cold light flashed by and dazzled Cha Jiu.

She squinted her eyes and looked in that direction.

The cat's pupils slowly widened.

This!

There is an assassin among these dancers!

Before Cha Jiu could remind Zong Yue, the rapid sound of drums suddenly rang out, as if it was a signal.

The dancers with swaying waists and seductive eyes suddenly changed their expressions, drew out the soft swords from their waists, and attacked Zong Yue with cold eyes!

The beautiful music stopped and screams began.

The courtiers in their seats dodged one after another, the table fell over and the dishes were broken, the whole place was in chaos.

But they didn't have to worry at all, because all these assassins were coming for Zong Yue.

Court officials were not allowed to bring guards or weapons to the banquet, so the only people accompanying Zong Yue were Yun An and Yun Kang, who came as his followers.

The two men stood in front of Zong Yue without hesitation, fighting one against many.

Cha Jiu was held in Zong Yue's arms, but found that there were no guards around to support him in time!

Looking at the little emperor and Duke Lin again, they were standing not far away and watching calmly as if they were watching a good show.

Cha Jiu immediately understood that this assassination was most likely the work of the emperor and the Lin family.

She guessed correctly.

Although the young emperor lost the empress dowager, he could not find the secret decree to deal with Zong Yue.

But the Lin family gave him a new suggestion, which was to assassinate Zong Yue in the name of the Queen Mother.

If it succeeds, the little emperor will be able to truly take power.

If they were defeated, they would push all the blame onto the Empress Dowager, causing the two forces to tear each other apart and fight each other, while the Emperor would reap the benefits.

After thinking about the secrets, Cha Jiu couldn't help but sigh at the meanness of the Lin family.

Although Yun'an and Yunkang are highly skilled in martial arts, they have no suitable weapons and are gradually outnumbered and fall into a disadvantage.

Seeing that there was no support for a long time, Zong Yue knew what was going on.

His eyes were cold as he swept over the little emperor sitting on the main seat.

The little emperor's gloating look suddenly turned into panic and fear, and he dodged.

"Find a place to hide." Zong Yue whispered to Cha Jiu.

Having said that, he placed Cha Jiu under the table, drew the dagger from his sleeve, and walked towards the assassin.

"Meow!" Cha Jiu bit his robe desperately to stop him from passing by.

It's dangerous there!

Her cat-like pupils were filled with panic and worry.

Zong Yue was afraid that she would damage her teeth, so he hardened his heart and cut off the piece of robe.

Cha Jiu fell on his butt out of inertia.

The system quickly said: "Now is a good opportunity! Let's go find the wizard!"

Cha Jiu stared at Zong Yue who rushed into the fight, his brows furrowed, "Let's take another look."

If Zong Yue died, then all this would be meaningless.

Fortunately, Zong Yue had come from a bloody battlefield. His moves were simple but one-hit kill. Wherever he passed by, the sky was filled with blood mist, and the assassin was no match for him.

He saved Yun An who was almost killed, and killed the assassin with a cold face.

Every move he made was deadly, like the Ghost-faced Yanluo, and he didn't want to leave anyone alive for interrogation.

This made the assassins, who had originally planned to commit suicide by taking poison if they were caught, feel a chill all over their bodies.

Seeing that the assassins were almost dealt with, the system urged anxiously: "Hurry up, Cha Cha, if you don't leave now, you will miss the chance!"

Cha Jiu took one last look at Zong Yue and decided to run out of the hall.

I'm sorry, Zong Yue.

I don’t know if I can make it in time to accompany you to see the earliest batch of pear blossoms.
