She can still tell the difference between a newborn kitten and a grown cat.
These people must have made a mistake.
"That's because you're stupid. You raised the kitten and then someone switched it with another one." Zhengzheng said speechlessly, "A cat that embarks on the path of demon cultivation may occasionally be driven by its beastly nature, but... it is definitely much smarter than an ordinary cat."
Consort Shu was slightly taken aback after hearing its words.
"Alright, you all leave quickly and don't disturb my daughter's cultivation," Ye Miaoyun said impatiently.
As for the fact that Consort Shu was raising a cat demon, she naturally had to send someone to tell Qi Jiu, and also send someone to tell the Emperor.
After they left, Zhengzheng said, "That cat was seriously injured by me. Even if they take it back, it won't survive."
"Zhengzheng, thanks to you today, otherwise they really would have succeeded." Ye Miaoyun looked at Zhengzheng with gratitude.
"No, that won't happen. The restrictions my sister set up are very powerful. Unless a real cat demon comes, it might be able to disturb you. This little kitten that hasn't fully become a demon yet has no ability to bother my sister at all," Zhengzheng said calmly.
Her older sister is very capable, far superior to these other people.
Did they want to harm my sister?
No way!
Qi Jiu heard about this as soon as he finished court and rushed over.
“I knew it. The women in the palace would definitely cause trouble. Miaoyun, you did the right thing just now. You are my Crown Princess and will soon become the mistress of this palace. You don’t need to give those people any face. With me here, you can do whatever you want. I’ll take responsibility if anything goes wrong,” Qi Jiu said.
"Okay!" Ye Miaoyun nodded.
She knew Qi Jiu would be on her side.
Moreover, she has a beloved daughter to back her up, so... she has nothing to fear from these people.
"That Consort Yi has really set up quite a few schemes over the years. Fortunately, Xianya saw through them back then, otherwise it would have been a disaster for our Great Yan Dynasty," Qi Jiu sighed.
"Yes, thankfully, it's all over now. As long as Xianya is alright, we'll definitely have a peaceful life again." Ye Miaoyun said with a smile.
She is now completely content with her daughter.
“With something like this happening, there’s no need to wait until next year. It’s time for Consort Shu to hand over the reins of the harem to you.” Qi Jiu said, taking Ye Miaoyun’s hand. “Miaoyun, you are more capable and competent than I imagined.”
The old man's worries were completely unnecessary; his wife could keep those petty scoundrels in the harem in check.
As long as his wife isn't bullied, it's not a bad thing for her to bully others occasionally.
These women in the palace are too wicked and hypocritical. Someone should have taught them a lesson long ago, lest the once peaceful harem be turned into a mess.
...
After two days of cultivation and healing, Ye Xianya finally recovered.
She spent another two days bringing the red snake and the black tortoise to refine the blood spirit mushroom into a pill before she planned to leave the palace.
"Xianya, are you going to cultivate?" Ye Miaoyi asked.
"No!" Ye Xianya shook her head: "Cultivation should start early for the best results. It's already afternoon, so going to Zizhu Mountain now won't be of much use. I want to go to Taoyuanju. I haven't told fortunes for several days, and I feel like something is missing."
Ye Miaoyun laughed upon hearing this: "You just can't sit still. Go ahead, but remember to come back on time for dinner. We'll be waiting for you."
"Alright!" Ye Xianya nodded and left the palace with Zhengzheng.
Ye Miaoyun has already gained control of the inner palace. She has been very busy these past few days. Although she has many eunuchs and nannies in charge to help her, she is the one who makes the decisions, so she is still quite busy.
Recently, many people have been coming to Ye Xianya for fortune telling at Taoyuan Residence, but Ye Xianya has not left the palace, so their trips have been in vain.
Some people encountered some tricky situations and wanted Ye Xianya's help to solve them, so they would come over every afternoon to try their luck.
As soon as Ye Xianya entered Taoyuan Residence, she was surrounded by the crowd.
Everyone started talking at once, all wanting Ye Xianya to be the first to tell their fortunes.
It wasn't until Ye Xianya cast a spell that these people calmed down, and she was able to enter the house smoothly.
The first person to come to Ye Xianya for fortune telling was a boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old and lived in the suburbs of Beijing.
He lost his cow yesterday when he went out to herd it.
"Sister, my name is Fang Qi, and I live in Santang Village on the outskirts of Beijing. Yesterday morning, I took a nap when I went out to herd the cattle, and when I woke up, the cattle were gone. Sister... I... I must find this cattle, otherwise... my father will beat me to death. Please help me, sister." As the boy spoke, he placed the few copper coins he had saved over the years in front of Ye Xianya.
He had heard from an old woman in the village that there was a girl named Ye Xianya in Taoyuanju in the capital, who was the best fortune teller in the world, and there was nothing that Miss Ye could not predict.
So the young man took all his savings and went to the capital.
He didn't see Ye Xianya yesterday, so he waited at the entrance of Taoyuanju until dawn.
Despite the freezing weather, the boy was only wearing a thin coat and was shivering from the cold.
It was Ye Xianya's aunts who found him when they opened the door that morning. They called him into the house to rest, gave him a cotton coat that was a little small for Ye Xianya's cousin, and had the kitchen staff cook him a bowl of hot noodles, which helped the boy recover.
Otherwise, he probably would have frozen to death before Ye Xianya arrived.
"Your cow has already gone back by itself and is now staying peacefully in your cowshed. You'll see it when you get back!" Ye Xianya said softly after calculating with her fingers.
Upon hearing this, the boy looked around for a moment, then exclaimed with delight, "Thank you, sister! Thank you, sister! I'll go back right now!"
"Wait!" Ye Xianya called out to him, "Fang Qi, your face is dark, you will surely suffer a bloody disaster within three days. I advise you to go back later, so you can avoid this calamity!"
The boy was taken aback by what he heard and didn't know what to do.
"If you'd like, you can stay at Peach Blossom Residence and help with the cleaning. My uncle and the others will take care of your food and lodging, and won't let you go hungry on the streets. Go back in three days, and you'll be able to avoid this calamity," Ye Xianya said softly.
The boy hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then clenched his fist and said, "Thank you, sister, but... I didn't go home last night. My father and sister must be very worried. I have to go back and let them know I'm safe."
Putting everything else aside, his younger sister is only five years old this year. His stepmother has a bad temper and likes to take her anger out on the two siblings when she gets angry. His father has to go out to work and doesn't come home until dark, so he can't protect them at all. If he weren't there, his sister would definitely get beaten a lot.
