"Help! Protect the emperor! He wants to harm me! He wants to drug me!"
The veterinarian's face was scratched with several bloody marks. He said with a bitter face, "I am incompetent and cannot control your pet. Miss Ji, please find someone else."
Qiao Yue quickly explained, "There's dirt in Xizi's wound. If it's not cleaned promptly, it might fester and form a sore. I wanted to give it some drugs to make it fall asleep so the pain wouldn't go away, but it reacted so strongly and refused to take the medicine."
Ji Yunhuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She thought Xizi might not understand the situation, so he refused to take the medicine.
She sat down with Xizi in her arms, took the medicine bowl handed to her by the veterinarian, and discussed with Xizi in a gentle voice:
"Be good, drink the medicine and the pain will go away. Don't turn your head away, you really don't want to drink it? Don't scream when it hurts like hell later."
Long Lin particularly disliked drugs that made people drowsy. He hated the feeling of being at the mercy of others. He would rather stay awake and in pain than take this kind of medicine.
“No!”
Long Lin meowed twice, and with one paw, he slapped the medicine bowl away. The bowl fell to the ground and broke into two pieces, and the brown medicine spilled onto Ji Yunhuan's clothes.
Ji Yunhuan gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Very good! You don't want to drink, right? Then let's treat it this way. I'll give you a good pain so you don't forget it!"
"You dare to scratch me and run away? If you run around again and get caught by bad guys, you won't even know how you died!"
Ji Yunhuan held Xizi tightly, exposing his belly. The veterinarian could only bite the bullet and clean the wound of the delicate Persian cat. He was terrified as he was afraid that he would accidentally kill Miss Ji's beloved pet with pain.
Long Lin gasped in pain, his chest heaving violently, but he insisted on not crying out or struggling.
The veterinarian's skills were excellent. He cleaned the wound in a short time and bandaged it. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed:
"My lady's pet is truly extraordinary. It has a bad temper and great strength. I'll come back tomorrow to take a look. Once the wound has scabbed over, it will be fine."
Ji Yunhuan asked Qiao Yue to send the veterinarian out and rewarded him with a bag of silver. The Beast Taming Bureau was different from the Imperial Hospital. Taming wild beasts was very dangerous, but there was not much profit, so the veterinarian was happy to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion to treat a cat.
Long Lin half closed his eyes. He didn't want to die, so he cooperated. The wound throbbed with pain and he let out a weak cry that sounded miserable.
Ji Yunhuan's anger had mostly subsided. He patted Xizi's back gently and said unhappily, "You're asking for trouble. It's good that you're scared now. Stay by my side from now on. When you're healed, I'll take you back."
"Don't worry, no matter what you become, I will help you, and the Ji family will also help you. You can't be that ungrateful cat, you must remember the kindness of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Ji Yunhuan carried Xizi back to Linlangyuan and asked someone to cook chicken and eggs for Xizi to change his taste.
After this experience, Xizi became much more well-behaved and no longer rejected Ji Yunhuan's arms, but this was only true for Ji Yunhuan.
If the maids in the yard tried to hug him, he would only scratch them.
The days of petting cats were very happy. Xizi's injury had almost healed, except for a bald spot on his abdomen, which left a hideous wound. Ji Yunhuan found the best scar removal medicine to take care of him, and he should be able to recover as before.
Ji Yunhuan avoided several banquets under the pretext of recuperating. She didn't want to run into Long Haochang and his female confidantes again. Out of sight, out of mind.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Equinox. Her mother finally got some free time. Seeing that her daughter had not been out for a long time, she wanted to take her to Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense.
When Long Lin heard the name "Daxiangguo Temple", his eyes lit up. He wanted to see the abbot. Since the abbot could calculate his disaster, there must be a way to help him regain his human form.
But Ji Yunhuan didn't seem to have any intention of taking him there. Long Lin became a little anxious and rubbed his palm against Ji Yunhuan's, meowing, "I want to go to Daxiangguo Temple too!"
Ji Yunhuan really enjoyed Xizi's rare act of coquettishness. She hugged him and kissed him fiercely several times until Xizi became impatient and struggled to escape from her arms. Then she held Xizi and said with a smile, "You want to go out and play, right?"
Long Lin meowed and nodded frantically.
Ji Yunhuan pretended to be distressed and said, "It's very troublesome to take you out. I have to split my attention to take care of you. How about this? You stay with me tonight and stay quiet. I will take you to Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow. How about that?"
