Chapter 243 The Queen Mother and the Regent Who Became a Cat 4
Cha Jiu stared at the sachet and jade pendant in front of him, hesitating about the decision.
She tilted her little head back and looked at Zong Yue eagerly.
——Don't hand me over to those people.
She seemed to be saying this.
"It's no use pretending to be pitiful. Make your choice." Zong Yue pretended to be indifferent, but a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.
Cha Jiu had no choice but to tentatively stretch out his paw towards the sachet, while secretly looking at Zong Yue's expression.
Zong Yue showed a look of regret on his face and said softly, "What a pity."
Cha Jiu's claws paused, then immediately turned 180 degrees and pressed on the jade pendant.
A low, sweet chuckle rang in her ears.
The voice was like a feather, gently touching her heart.
"You can indeed understand what people say." Zong Yue said with certainty.
Cha Jiu's body stiffened, and he turned his cat head to look at him, just in time to meet a pair of deep eyes.
The system slammed the table and said, "Cha Cha, he lied to you!"
Zong Yue had no intention of using this choice to determine whether Cha Jiu would stay or go.
His real purpose is to test Cha Jiu!
If the humanity displayed by Cha Jiu while watching the opera and taking a bath just now could be explained as coincidence, then Zong Yue was now basically certain that Cha Jiu was able to read people's expressions and understand what they said.
Cha Jiu felt sad in his heart.
It's over. It's over now.
Zong Yue would not treat her as some mountain goblin and burn her directly.
She buried her head in the soft towel guiltily, leaving only a piece of her fluffy butt exposed, not daring to move her tail.
Like covering one's ears to hear a bell.
Yun An said what Cha Jiu was most worried about: "Could this cat be some kind of monster that harms people? If so, it would be better to kill it directly or release it far away."
Zong Yue didn't take it seriously: "If it was really a monster that harmed people, it wouldn't have been chased by a group of guards and had nowhere to escape. There are animals with intelligence in the world, maybe this cat is one of them."
Yun An saw through his master's thoughts: "Then the prince has decided to keep this cat."
Cha Jiu quietly stuck one ear out and eavesdropped.
The soft ear moved and the moment it popped out from the edge of the soft towel, Zong Yue's lips couldn't help but twitch.
He put the jade pendant and sachet aside, pulled the cat towards him with the soft towel, and continued to wipe her drier hair.
"Yes." He said cheerfully, "I like smart things."
Nice person too.
Cats are also good.
Only smart people will not make others feel bad.
At this moment, Zong Yue included the cat in his possession.
Hearing that Zong Yue had no intention of sending her back, Cha Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and let him rub her head all over the place with the soft towel.
As Zong Yue was wiping, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
There were faint purple scars on the cat's body.
When I was giving it a bath just now, I couldn't see clearly through the soap foam, so I didn't notice it immediately.
But now, by carefully rubbing its hair, I can clearly see what marks are beneath that delicate skin.
Zong Yue frowned and ordered, "Go find Doctor Xu to come over."
Yun An should be.
Doctor Xu hurried over with his medicine box, thinking that his master was injured, but when he looked, he found that he was actually treating a cat.
He was dumbfounded on the spot.
Zong Yue urged, "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and take a look at its injuries."
Although Doctor Xu had his doubts, he still did as he was told.
After some examination, Doctor Xu said, "Most of the injuries on this cat's body are superficial. They will heal in a few days with some medicine. However, there are some bone contusions, which will require careful care for some time."
Zong Yue's frown deepened: "Frustrated"
There were also nobles in the palace who kept cats and dogs. Doctor Xu had done some research and replied, "It's possible that the cat was naughty and jumped from a high place and got hurt. It's also possible that the cat was thrown to the ground by someone and was forced to get hurt."
"Meow..." Cha Jiu called out aggrievedly.
She's not so stupid as to hurt herself.
Zong Yue, however, deepened her meaning and asked, "Was it the emperor who hurt you?"
He grew up in the palace and saw many concubines and nobles raising cats and dogs to relieve boredom. In order to train them to be well-behaved, they often deprived them of food, whipped them, and threw and kicked them. These training methods were very common.
I don’t know how much suffering this cat in front of me must have gone through before it was trained and became intelligent.
Thinking about it, Zong Yue looked at Cha Jiu with more sympathy.
Cha Jiu was confused: "Meow"
Zong Yue took it as her acquiescence.
Doctor Xu secretly asked Yun An: "When did the prince start raising cats?"
Yun An whispered back, "Today. But the prince still cares about this cat. He held it in his arms even though it was dirty, and even gave it a bath himself. Tsk tsk."
Doctor Xu's attitude towards Cha Jiu suddenly became respectful. He held the medicine and smiled. The wrinkles at the end of his eyes could kill flies. "Master Cat, I will apply the medicine for you."
Seeing that his hand was about to touch her, Cha Jiu quickly jumped into Zong Yue's arms, and her little paws tightly grasped Zong Yue's collar.
——No, no, no, I don’t want him to apply medicine to me.
After all, Cha Jiu's "cat body" is actually a human.
Before, when Yun An pinched the fur on the back of her neck, she endured it.
It was unbearable to let Doctor Xu pull apart her hair to apply medicine.
Fortunately, Zong Yue also knew that she didn't want others to touch her, so he took the medicine from Doctor Xu.
"Let me come, you guys step back first."
He was afraid that Cha Jiu would feel embarrassed, so he asked the two people to leave and applied the medicine to her alone.
Zong Yue was very tall and strong, with his palms covered with scars and thick bands, making him look like a man who could move mountains and rivers.
But the way he applied medicine to Cha Jiu was incredibly delicate and gentle.
He used his rough, slender fingers to gently push aside the snow-white hair on Cha Jiu's belly. He dipped some ointment in his other hand and wiped the purple area bit by bit.
Sometimes, fearing that she was in pain, Zong Yue would extend his fingers to rub her chin to divert her attention.
The cool ointment was applied to the wound, temporarily covering up the burning pain.
Zong Yue's fingers seemed to carry electric current, not only relieving pain wherever they went, but also bringing waves of comfort and numbness.
Cha Jiu was so comfortable that her almond-shaped eyes narrowed into long crescents and her ears trembled.
At this moment, her cat nature had overwhelmed her human nature, and she began to act coquettishly towards Zong Yue instinctively, rubbing her cheeks with his fingers, and then putting them in her mouth and biting them gently with her tiny fangs.
Zong Yue also followed it.
"Meow~ Meow~"
The kittens' cries overlapped in the house, each one sweeter than the last, like paws stepping on honey, pulling up strands of honey.
The system looked at the host who seemed to have lost consciousness, and hesitated to speak.
Harmful……
This cry is like a cat movie.
"Okay." After applying the medicine, Zong Yue pulled his wet fingers out of the kitten's mouth and patted her head soothingly.
Cha Jiu woke up instantly.
She was stunned for two seconds, then the cat's face under the snowy fur turned completely red, and she turned her head and buried it in the soft towel.
The system said righteously: "I won't tell anyone."
Cha Jiu: “…”
System: “I will delete the video too.”
Cha Jiu: "Shut up."
As a result, Zong Yue applied the medicine, but what he got was a cat that was even more listless than before the medicine was applied.
"What's wrong? Weren't you so energetic just now?"
He was referring to the honey-like cry just now.
Cha Jiu buried his head deeper.
Zong Yue stroked her fur, and it took him a while to come up with something.
He walked out of the room, opened the door, and ordered, "Bring the food. Make some food that cats can eat."
The cat is unhappy, probably because it is hungry.
