As soon as the note was opened, Ruoruo heard Mo Xuanshuang's voice:
"Ruoruo, although you missed class this time, your second brother took you to eat lots of delicious snacks, right? Besides, if I hadn't taken you with me this time, you wouldn't have been able to find such a good master and enter the path of alchemy, right?"
As the kitten Ruoruo listened, she nodded. Although her second brother had gone too far in taking her away, he had ultimately gotten a very good result.
"So Father punished me so severely because he was just taking his anger out on me. There's no place to shelter from the wind and rain here at Wanshu Pavilion, and there are no blankets. It's so cold at night, and my brothers are suffering from the cold."
Also, Father hasn't allowed anyone to visit these past few days, not even anyone to bring us food. My brothers are so hungry.
Upon hearing this, Ruoruo couldn't help but press her tail against her belly, feeling a pang of sympathy.
Being hungry is awful, especially when you're both cold and hungry.
"Ruoruo, your second brother knows he was wrong and it will never happen again, so please forgive him, okay?"
Xiao Ruoruo hesitated and bit her paw.
“Your third and fourth brothers are also pitiful. They don’t even have hands, and they have to copy so many books on an empty stomach. Sigh, they will definitely lose weight after three days of this torture.”
The kitten couldn't help but start scratching at the edge of the bed. I felt a pang of guilt. Actually, I could forgive her; she wasn't angry at all.
"So, beautiful and cute little kitten, only you can ignore the barrier here and help your brothers bring them some food. We entrust our brothers' lives to you."
Ruoruo hesitated... but her father had said she couldn't visit him...
"And also, the Wanshu Pavilion is absolutely gorgeous at night! There are fireflies everywhere, and shooting stars like rain!"
As Mo Yunlan spoke in a melodious tone, the small note containing the message spontaneously combusted into ashes in mid-air.
Ruoruo's cat eyes instantly filled with excitement and eagerness.
Don't worry! Ruoruo will protect her brothers' stomachs! She will definitely not let them go hungry.
She wasn't doing it out of curiosity; she just wanted to bring some warmth and food to her brothers.
But recently, Tinglan has been keeping a close eye on her, and Ruoruo doesn't know how to leave Xixiang Palace.
As darkness fell, Ruoruo carefully lifted the blanket and peeked out from under the eggshell.
But Ruoruo didn't see Tinglan's figure, so the kitten happily put away the eggshell and ran outside.
Tinglan is definitely not on night duty tonight, so she can sneak out.
However, as soon as Ruoruo slipped to the door of the room, she heard soft sobbing.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ruoruo quietly pushed the door open a crack and saw the fairy servant on night watch sobbing sadly with his shoulders hunched.
She stretched her hand out in front of another fairy servant, hastily wrapping it with strips of cloth, which were stained with blood.
Another fairy servant helped her remove the strips of cloth, revealing the wound. Ruoruo's tail, which had been wagging behind her out of curiosity, froze instantly.
A long wound ran across the fairy servant's palm, almost tearing the skin and flesh on both sides open. It was slightly white, and blood kept seeping out, looking extremely frightening.
Ruoruo was extremely sensitive to such injuries. When she was bullied by Yin Dalang, if she was injured and did not have a chance to receive proper treatment, the wound would change color and become infected with pus.
How exactly did this celestial servant get injured like this?
"I'll clean the floor for you tomorrow. Your hand is injured like this, you should rest well." The fairy attendant who was cleaning and applying medicine to her wound comforted her gently. "It seems that Fairy Tinglan is still holding a grudge against you because you didn't keep a close eye on the little prince last time, which led to the little prince running to the Ziwei Fairy Pavilion and causing her to be implicated and punished. So you must not show your face in front of her."
The injured fairy servant cried bitterly: "But I really kept an eye on the bed that day and didn't see the little prince get out of bed and go out. Sister, I really didn't slack off. Besides, I was punished. Why does Fairy Tinglan keep harping on me?"
"I remember you, your name is Luo Jin." Ruoruo couldn't help but push the door open and go out.
The two celestial servants were so frightened that they knelt down in front of Ruoruo.
Luo Jin hid her hands behind her back, her face slightly pale: "Isn't Your Highness asleep? Is there anything you need?"
"Was your injury inflicted by Tinglan?" Ruoruo asked, her voice tinged with anger. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"No, that's not it," Luo Jin quickly said. "It was because I was not careful and accidentally broke a flowerpot, which cut my hand. It's just a minor injury, and I wouldn't dare trouble Your Highness with it."
If Ruo Su could transform into human form, he would forcibly grab her hand and bring it in front of him. Looking at her wound, which was even festering, his anger would intensify, and his expression would grow colder.
"This is no minor injury. I heard everything you just said. Are you going to try to hide it from me?"
“Father said that this is my Xixiang Palace, and everything should be decided by me. Since you are a member of Xixiang Palace, you should not deceive me.”
The little girl's stern face and slightly angry expression were just like Mo Yong's.
The concern and distress in her eyes were so real and heartwarming.
Another celestial attendant gritted his teeth and told the whole story: "Your Highness, it's not that we dare to deceive you, but we heard from Celestial Official Lan that if you find out about this, she will at most be punished, while we will definitely take revenge on her. Her brother is Celestial Official Lingxi, and she is trusted by you and the Emperor. How could we dare to say anything?"
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably: "Actually, it wasn't just Luo Jin; Immortal Official Tinglan also beat and scolded us a lot on a daily basis, but we dared not speak out against it."
"I'm telling you this with all my might today because I feel that if things continue like this, Luo Jin probably won't live much longer."
