Although the governess standing behind Xueying and the others did not see Yonglian's expression, Xueying, sitting next to Yonglian, naturally noticed that Yonglian seemed hesitant to speak.
Xueying knew that Yonglian was definitely thinking about the frail kitten in the Imperial Garden that day, but with the governess watching from behind, she naturally couldn't say it.
After all, Xueying knew that Mingyu disliked her. Her visit to Xiefang Palace to see Yonglian would likely displease Mingyu even more. If Mingyu found out that she had met with Yonglian in private, it would be even more troublesome. Mingyu would have to keep a closer eye on Yonglian in the future, not to mention taking him to feed the cats after he recovered.
Therefore, due to the presence of the governess behind her, Xueying could not stay in the Xiefang Palace for too long. If she were to be too enthusiastic towards Yonglian, it would arouse suspicion from those with ulterior motives.
Therefore, Xueying spoke a few more words to Yonglian, telling him to rest well, and then left Xiefang Palace.
After returning to Yikun Palace, Xueying instructed A'luo, "Go find the cat that Yonglian is feeding and bring it back to Yikun Palace."
Upon hearing Xueying's words, A'luo's eyes widened, and she said with a wronged expression, "Master, aren't you making things difficult for me? This palace is so big, where am I supposed to find it?"
"Master, did I offend you? Why are you torturing me like this?" A'Luo looked at Xueying with a conflicted expression. She thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what mistake she had made today.
Looking at the aggrieved expression on A Luo's face, Xue Ying was both amused and exasperated. She shook her head and chuckled, "You... I didn't ask you to go looking for it alone."
Upon hearing Xueying's words, A'Luo's face lit up with joy, and the aggrieved look she had just shown vanished without a trace.
"Go and take a look over the Imperial Garden area, and give some silver to the eunuchs and servants who sweep and clean around there, and ask them to keep an eye out for it. That cat is so small, it can't possibly run far."
Upon hearing this, A'Luo quickly nodded and said with a smile, "This servant knew that you wouldn't torture this servant like that, Master."
Xueying watched A'luo grinning foolishly, shook her head, and gave A'luo a serious glare. "Aren't you going to leave?"
"Yes, this servant will go right away." With that, A'Luo turned and left the main hall of Yikun Palace.
Xueying rested in Yikun Palace for a while, then heard A'luo's clear voice coming from outside the palace, "Master, this servant has found her!"
After a while, Xueying saw A'luo walk in quickly. A'luo proudly showed Xueying the cat she was holding in her arms. Xueying looked at the cat in A'luo's arms and realized that it was the same cat that Yonglian had fed in the Imperial Garden that day.
Xueying nodded and instructed A'luo, "Have someone take good care of it."
"Master, why did you keep this cat?" A'Luo asked suspiciously while stroking the cat in her arms.
Because the cat was very weak, its fur was dull and lacked luster. A'Luo didn't understand why Xueying would go to the trouble of finding this cat to raise. Given Xueying's status, if she wanted to keep a cat, she could have easily kept a much more beautiful Persian cat.
"Because Yonglian likes this cat."
Upon hearing Xueying's words, A'luo didn't ask any more questions. She nodded, turned around, and went down to instruct people to take care of the cat.
Then, A'Luo helped Xueying change her clothes and went to the front hall to participate in the celebration.
