Chapter 185: Looking for a Cub

The black cat’s unusual state gave Shen Tingyu the feeling that something had happened.

Seeing this, Shen Tingyu said slowly: “An Chi, let’s follow it and see where it wants to take us?”

An Chi: "Okay, Imperial Master."

The black cat walked in front to lead the way. Its agile figure was like a wandering shadow. It meowed continuously, almost speaking human language in a hurry.

Feeling the Black Cat's inner anxiety and worry, Shen Tingyu was a little confused. What had happened?

Without giving it much thought, she used the mount talisman directly.

[Ding! 30 points deducted!]

By communicating with it through the talisman, Shen Tingyu roughly understood why the black cat was looking for them.

Following the black cat's footsteps, they arrived near a rockery.

The black cat shuttled back and forth in and out of the rockery, sometimes jumping up, sometimes falling to the ground, sometimes turning around in confusion to search, and finally walked into a cave with crisscrossing rocks.

After using the talisman, its IQ has increased a little.

I demonstrated to them directly what happened at that time.

An Chi looked confused and asked curiously, "Master, do you know what it is doing?"

Shen Tingyu's eyes dimmed slightly, and she said slowly: “The black cat said that her cub is missing, and someone was taken away in front of it.”

"No one could understand it, so it asked us to help find the kittens.

"It's very worried about its cubs."

An Chi was stunned, his soft spot in his heart was touched, and he looked at the black cat with loving eyes.

"She's so smart, she even knew to ask you, the Imperial Master, for help."

Shen Tingyu pondered for a moment, then said slowly, “Let’s go.”

"The black cat said that its cub was taken into the rockery and disappeared."

"Let's go in and see if there are any clues that can help it find its cub."

"It will take us to where the cub disappeared."

The rockery is rugged, with gaps that are sometimes wide and sometimes narrow.

An Chi brought Shen Tingyu and entered through the spacious gap.

An Chi asked curiously as the black cat walked in front of him.

"How strange! This black cat has an owner. Its fur is black and translucent, and it's obviously very well-loved."

"So even though its cub is very weak, in the palace, everyone looks at the expression and status of the person, so no palace servant would intentionally harm it, that's right."

"How could he be taken away for no reason?"

Shen Tingyu looked at the black cat’s back, thinking about An Chi’s words.

"Bang!"

A club suddenly hit An Chi on the head from behind.

An Chi frowned when he failed to notice the danger in time, and thought to himself, "Oh no! The Imperial Master is in danger!"

His eyes went dark and he fainted without a sound.

Shen Tingyu hadn't noticed the person who hit him with a club from behind until An Chi's body slowly fell to the ground.

The black cat arched its body towards An Chi's back, making a sharp meow and taking a defensive posture ready to attack at any time.

"An Chi, how are you?"

The back of An Chi's head was covered in blood, his eyes were closed, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.

Shen Tingyu then realized that the black cat's cub was captured because he knew the relationship between her and the black cat and was sure that she would follow him to the rockery.

She fell into a trap, someone in the palace wanted to deal with her!

Who could it be?!

Shen Tingyu was shocked: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The eunuchs and palace maids who were hiding the shadows of the rockery were all silent, and they all covered their faces in broad daylight.

Shen Tingyu looked around, his heart sinking.

The rockery was a small place, and any place she could leave was surrounded by strange palace maids. Dealing with her was as easy as catching a turtle in a jar.

They were very familiar with the various paths in the rockery. Even if Shen Tingyu was more agile, he could not escape from this narrow place and was trapped inside.

The black cat recognized the person who had taken the cub away, let out a shrill cry, and rushed forward, biting and scratching him, leaving bloody marks with its claws.

There was a huge disparity in strength, and there was a snap.

Shen Tingyu and the black cat were thrown onto the stone wall of the rockery, and Shen Tingyu was dizzy.

The last scene before she fainted was that she was as straight as a bullet and hit the wall heavily, with stars in her eyes and her eyes went black, and she completely fainted.

The eunuch said coldly: "Is this really the Imperial Master?"

Palace maid: "Besides this black cat and the person on the ground, there is no one else around here."

The other palace servants said in unison, "Yes."

Things went smoothly. The maid put the fainted heroine into her wide sleeves and gave her instructions: "Follow the plan. Have you forgotten it?"

"We must get this done. Let's go. We must not make any mistakes in our actions."

"yes."

The palace servants dispersed and left from the interconnected paths in the rockery, and soon they were quiet in every corner of the palace.

The palace maid who had just been given instructions hid the imperial teacher in his sleeves, followed the palace maids who went out to purchase things, and left the palace at an extremely fast speed.

The other palace maids dispersed and quietly placed a letter on the table in His Majesty's palace while cleaning.

As if worried about not being discovered, he took out an empty glass cup and placed it on top of the letter.

An Chi, who had been unconscious in the rockery for who knows how long, stood up from the ground with his face covered in blood, holding his aching head.

Even though he was seriously injured, he still had a determined look on his face, supported himself with his hands on the stone wall, and stumbled out of the rockery.

Still thinking about Shen Tingyu, he kept murmuring in his mouth.

"National Master..., National Master..., is missing. She is in danger!"

After the maid left the palace, the letter she left behind was soon discovered by other palace servants.

It was then delivered to Xin Hongying by Gao Tang.

"Your Majesty, a letter addressed to you has been found."

Xin Hongying opened the letter, and the letter paper fell to the ground, unfolded in mid-air, and spread flat on the ground. The familiar handwriting suddenly caught Xin Hongying's eyes.

Xin Hongying took a quick glance at it, and the contents of the two lines of words quickly entered his mind, and his pupils shrank.

Gao Tang didn't see the words clearly, and subconsciously squatted down and picked up the letter on the ground.

Just as he was about to present it with both hands, His Majesty snatched it away.

Xin Hongying carefully read the familiar handwriting on it.

His face was dark, his fingers trembled with anger, and he threw the letter with his slender fingers and roared in a cold and trembling voice.

"Father!"

"How dare he!"

Xin Hongying did not avoid Gao Tang at all. Gao Tang glanced at her calmly, taking in the contents of the unfolded letter.

The kind and smiling look in his eyes suddenly changed, and a storm of emotions arose in his heart.

On the white letter paper, the Regent wrote in a somewhat sloppy handwriting, saying arrogantly:

Your Majesty, the demon master is in my hands!

If you want her to be safe, go to the Queen Mother's tomb alone, kneel in front of the tombstone, and commit suicide to atone for the Queen Mother's sins, and I will spare her life!

Otherwise, her life will be in danger!
