Although he was only a seven or eight-year-old child, he still looked like a human being.
Just as she was feeling pleased, a furry, silvery-white object suddenly appeared before her. Puzzled, she grabbed at it, and the moment she touched the soft fur, she immediately realized it was a tail!
It wasn't someone else's tail; it was the tail of a little ferret.
Xi Xizhi followed the tail and touched her own little bottom, sadly confirming the fact.
That wasn't the worst thing. Xi Xi touched her head and wondered what was with those two furry ears on her head!
Is God just playing a joke on her? If you're going to transform, at least do it properly! Half human and half beast, how is she supposed to go out in public?
Just as Xi Xizhi was about to curse the heavens for being blind, a loud shout suddenly came from above, "I know you're hiding in the water. If you don't come out soon, I'll send you to the imperial kitchen tomorrow and skin you alive and make you drink the soup."
Xi Xizhi's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was wondering whether she should go out in this form, a layer of shimmering light suddenly appeared on her body.
She couldn't understand what was going on, blinked in confusion, and then, unexpectedly, all her strength seemed to be drained away, and her body instantly transformed back into a fluffy little mink.
Exhaustion washed over it, and its body, having been underwater for so long, suddenly cramped and became immobile, plummeting towards the depths of the pool. Xi Xizhi, still conscious, saw this scene and screamed in terror. She choked on water as soon as she opened her mouth, coughing violently.
This transformation is so unpredictable! She transforms for only a few seconds before suddenly reverting back. What if she accidentally transforms in front of people? Wouldn't she be mistaken for a monster? Even worse, she might be burned alive.
Seeing that something was wrong, An Honghan immediately bent down and put his head into the water. The pool was more than a meter deep, and even standing, the water just reached his waist. As he submerged, he immediately saw the little ferret, its body convulsing, falling to the bottom of the pool in the distance.
An Honghan's heart skipped a beat. He moved quickly, stretched out his arm, and caught the chubby little white ball steadily.
Xi Xizhi was already in a semi-conscious state, her mind racing. It seemed that each transformation was extremely taxing on her stamina. In just a short while, Xi Xizhi was so tired that she could barely keep her eyelids open.
However... one mystery has finally been solved.
That's why I've been feeling sleepy these past few days!
When Xi Xizhi fell asleep from exhaustion, a group of people were extremely worried.
When An Honghan scooped up the little ferret, he saw that its eyes were already tightly closed. He was so anxious that he didn't care about his image. Holding the little ferret, he took the robe hanging on the screen, casually put it on, and rushed out of the bathing pool.
He shouted at Lynn, "Go and fetch Old Man Xu for me."
This was the first time An Honghan had been so anxious that his hands holding the little mink trembled slightly.
He gently patted the little ferret's rump with his large hand, trying to wake it, but the little ferret didn't move at all. If it weren't for the fact that the little ferret was still breathing through its nose, An Honghan would have really thought that the little ferret had already died.
I knew all along that if I didn't keep an eye on the ferret, it would cause trouble. But I never expected that this time, my negligence would almost cost the ferret its life.
A certain emperor was consumed by deep remorse...
However, Xi Xizhi was actually fast asleep, completely beyond waking. She had no idea how anxious Ren Anhonghan was.
Panlong Palace was thrown into chaos. The palace maids and eunuchs were all in danger, and they lowered their heads to the lowest point in fear.
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn feels like an eternity.
The moment Imperial Physician Xu stepped through the palace gates, all the palace maids and eunuchs turned to look at him, wishing they could rush forward and drag him away. They looked at the old man Xu as if he were a savior, each filled with hope. Even if Little Marten's coma wasn't their concern, what if His Majesty's bad mood affected them?
If Little Marten were to die, given His Majesty's cruel and ruthless nature, he would know without even thinking what fate awaited them.
Old Xu noticed the strange atmosphere and walked over without making a sound.
Seeing the little sable lying wet in An Honghan's arms, he asked, puzzled, "Your Majesty, what happened? The little sable's fur is still wet. It would be better to dry it off quickly, otherwise it will catch a cold and suffer."
An Honghan's handsome face was as if carved by a knife, his two sword-like eyebrows were furrowed in worry, and his expression was extremely heavy.
Lin En stamped his feet anxiously, grabbed Old Man Xu's hand, and walked towards His Majesty. "Imperial Physician Xu, please take a look at him quickly. Little Mink suddenly fainted in the bathing pool and can't be woken up no matter how much we call him."
Lynn had a pained look on his face; compared to An Honghan's expressionless face, he seemed even more anxious.
An Honghan's voice was slightly hoarse, but it was firm and powerful: "If you can't be cured, this time I will really take your life."
His voice was cold, but his murderous intent was even stronger than before.
Old Xu's gaze fell on the little sable in An Honghan's arms. Just looking at the little sable's peaceful appearance, it shouldn't be sick.
However, An Honghan has already made it clear that for the sake of his own life, Old Man Xu must also take this matter seriously.
Furthermore, he and Xiao Diao were quite close, and he didn't want to see anything happen to Xiao Diao.
Old Xu walked to the chair closest to An Honghan and sat down. His withered fingers picked up the little sable, first prying open its eyelids to take a look, and then prying open its mouth. Inside, the white teeth were very neat, like translucent jade stones.
Everyone in the Panlong Palace stared intently at Old Man Xu, not daring to miss a single movement.
Although An Honghan didn't say anything, his icy eyes now held a hint of anxiety.
After waiting for a long time without hearing from Old Man Xu, An Honghan lost his patience and asked, "Have you found out yet?"
He instructed a palace maid to bring a handkerchief, which An Honghan took and used to wipe the sable's fur.
Old Xu stroked his beard with an air of mystery, a glint of enigmatic brilliance in his eyes. Who would have thought that the fearsome emperor of Fengze Kingdom would show such anxiety over a mere sable?
Old Xu took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, a kind smile on his lips. "Little Mink is fine, it's just asleep."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall was filled with the sound of teeth grinding.
Lynn nearly fainted from anger, and only managed to steady herself by leaning against a nearby pillar.
The only calm person present was An Honghan. He remained expressionless, except for a brief moment of relief at the beginning, after which he returned to his usual aloof demeanor.
An Honghan stroked the ferret's back, still puzzled. Even if the ferret was sleepy, it shouldn't have fallen asleep while still taking a bath, right?
He had a premonition that something was about to happen soon.
