"It's me."
Xue Tuan and Yuan Xiao were prepared, but they were still startled. Su Bai, on the other hand, was overjoyed, since he hadn't performed much back then either.
After a long while, Yuanxiao spoke: [Are you really not some kind of spirit or monster?]
"No, I am a human being."
Although the experience was a bit magical, it still didn't go beyond the realm of human beings!
Xue Tuan and Yuan Xiao quickly accepted the fact that there were humans who could understand them.
Wu Lingzhu had prepared a lot of dried fish, and the three cats ate and drank their fill, their faces showing satisfaction.
Snowball: [Do you want to know about Yonghe Palace?]
Wu Lingzhu hadn't expected Xue Tuan to be so quick-witted. She nodded and said, "I am a little curious."
Xue Tuan said helplessly, "That's how you humans are, fighting each other all the time, even killing your own kind."
Wu Lingzhu paused, her words carrying a hint of something, for this was, after all, a cat from Yonghe Palace.
Sure enough, Xue Tuan's next words confirmed her suspicions: "[Consort De recently sent people to deal with two eunuchs, and it was related to a concubine named Dai Jia.]"
Wu Lingzhu's heart skipped a beat. Consort Dai Jia, the birth mother of the Seventh Prince, the recent event that happened to her was the birth of the Seventh Prince, who was lame.

"Could you tell me in detail what Consort De did to Consort Daijia?"
[Two things. One was that a palace maid she had placed beside Consort Daijia complained to the emperor that Consort Daijia had previously been in love with someone else and that her service to the emperor was not voluntary, and that there were also some letters exchanged, some true and some false.]
Wu Lingzhu was shocked. This was no small matter. No wonder Consort Dai Jia gave birth to a prince but Emperor Kangxi made no mention of it. The seventh prince was lame, but not seriously. It seemed there was another reason behind this.
"And what about the other thing?"
[Another matter was that she had a blue gemstone, a gift from the Emperor to Consort Daijia, replaced with one that had supposedly been blessed by Buddha. A maidservant serving Consort De said the stone was cursed, and that several women who wore the gemstone during pregnancy had given birth to children with birth defects.]
Blue gemstone? It should be a radioactive stone.
In this day and age, without the concept of science, even cursed gemstones are not considered wrong.
