Want to tease the prince, the cat is soft and delicate

Outside, the sound of rain hitting the yellow tiles woke Mei Susu from her nightmare.

There was a cool and damp feeling beside her, making her feel a little dazed.

Her four little pads were all a little wet, probably because of the cold sweat caused by the nightmare.

She turned her head to look at the couch inside. It was actually empty, and the mattress was made very neatly without the slightest wrinkle.

Xuanyuan Che really didn't come back to rest.

Meisusu stood up from the cushion, all sleepiness gone.

She poked her little head out from the curtain and saw Yueya sitting on the ground, leaning against the corner of the couch, sleeping soundly.

Mei Susu glanced at the half-open window with her big eyes. Rain was hitting the window sill, and the rain was dripping down without any sign of stopping.

The cold air drifted in through the window, and Mei Susu could feel the chill even inside the curtains.

Mei Susu jumped off the couch and took off her small mattress in the process.

She covered Yueya's legs with the small mattress and was worrying about how to cover her upper body.

Yueya moaned, and when she felt the warmth, she pulled the small mattress closer to her body, adjusted her position and continued to sleep.

Mei Susu felt relieved when she saw that she covered herself with the quilt consciously.

She walked over to the timer and looked at the time on the hourglass.

The clepsydra ruler is exactly in the middle between the Yin hour and the Mao hour.

At four o'clock in the morning...

Mei Susu jumped onto the windowsill, avoided the rain and took a look outside the palace. Although it was raining outside, the palace maids and eunuchs were still under the eaves.

The lanterns were swaying in the wind. Although it was dim, I could still see things.

She didn't know whether Xuanyuan Che was in the palace tonight, but she didn't want to sit and wait for death. Anyway, she had woken up, and when she had nothing to do, she could go to the palace he often went to look for him.

He must be really angry with her today, otherwise he wouldn't be so cruel as to leave her alone in the palace.

Mei Susu knew that Xuanyuan Che would not really "separate" from her. He would probably calm down after three or five days and come back to hug her.

But she wanted to be by his side right now, to nestle in his arms, and didn't want to wait even a moment.

She decided to take the initiative, no matter where he was, as long as he was by her side.

Mei Susu jumped off the window sill and swiftly ran into the rain.

The little palace maid guarding the palace door seemed to see a dark shadow flash by, but when she looked, there was nothing.

Mei Susu ran to the study in the rain, but not long after she ran out, she was stopped by someone.

Ming Ye emerged from the rain, all wet, and stood in front of Mei Susu.

Seeing his appearance, Mei Susu was startled and ran over quickly: "What's wrong with you? Why are you still in Chaoyang Palace in the middle of the night and not back to Shoukang Palace?"

Ming Ye looked at her with his golden eyes, as if examining something. Even though his hair was soaked by the rain, his noble aura was not diminished at all.

Mei Susu was frightened by his gaze and couldn't help asking, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ming Ye said: "I saw it all."

Mei Susu was puzzled: "What did you see?"

"What you did with the Taoist priest in the Yangxin Palace." Mingye's golden eyes flashed with a faint light: "You want to assassinate the emperor?"

Mei Susu was startled and quickly explained: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Who wants to assassinate the emperor? Why would I want to assassinate the emperor?"

Ming Ye seemed not to hear her words. He stood up and approached Mei Susu: "You colluded with people outside the palace. Do you know that assassinating the emperor is a capital crime? Aren't you afraid of implicating Xuanyuan Che?"

Mei Susu was really speechless. She didn't want to assassinate the emperor. Did this man not understand what she said or what?

"Since you saw the beginning, it's impossible that you didn't see the end. Why don't you say that I jumped in to save him regardless of my own life?"

He walked forward and Meisusu stepped back, explaining as she stepped back.

"How do you know that Taoist priest?"

"We met by accident."

"You know that we and the Taoist priest are mortal enemies. Aren't you afraid that he will take your life with a yellow talisman?"

Mei Susu's back was against the pillar. She had no way to retreat. She finally got angry and looked back at Mingye in an unkind manner, her tone was not very good either: "What does it have to do with you?"

Ming Ye: "How is it not my business? When Jinli left, you asked me to take care of you, so of course I have to consider your safety."

Mei Susu retorted: "Jingli asked you to take care of me, not to control me."

Ming Ye choked, his golden eyes shrank, and he was unable to refute for a moment.

"Mingye, I'll say it one last time that I did not assassinate the emperor, and you'd better not get involved in the matter with the Taoist priest. He will leave the palace after he recovers from his injuries, and although what he did today was inappropriate, it was to help me. You can dislike him, but I can't."

After saying that, Mei Susu walked past Ming Ye and prepared to leave, but Ming Ye stood stiffly and did not react.

Mei Susu glanced at him and said, "You are soaked. Go back quickly. The Queen Mother must be worried about you."

After saying that, Mei Susu ran towards the study.

Ming Ye turned around and looked in the direction she left, with those words echoing in his ears: Koi asked you to take care of me, not to control me.

Ming Ye was a little confused. He was just worried about her. He waited here for half the night just to find a chance to see her.

I was afraid that she was bewitched and persecuted by the Taoist priest, so that made her so angry.

Mei Susu ran all the way in the rain, and the little figure who was determined to go to the study stopped at the fork in the road.

Ming Ye just reminded her that Zuo Qingxian did something wrong in the evening.

Whatever his reason was, he shouldn't have done that, and she needed to explain it to him.

She saw that his injuries seemed to have healed, and it was time to ask him to leave the palace.

Mei Susu looked around, then turned around and headed towards the cold palace.

Arriving at the cold palace, Mei Susu found the house where Zuo Qingxian was with ease.

"Zuo Qingxian, are you there?"

The room was dark and without any light, but it had no effect on Mei Susu. She walked past the obstacles and walked inside, but did not see Zuo Qingxian.

Looking at the secret door, Mei Susu squatted down, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the secret passage.

The door of the secret passage opened, and a musty smell wafted out. Mei Susu subconsciously covered her nose with her paws.

With the help of the cat's excellent eyesight, she reached into the secret door with her little paws.

As soon as her little body entered, the secret door closed automatically.

But before the secret door could be completely closed, a long sword pressed against the secret door from the gap, and then tilted outward. The secret door was forced open, and the black shadow chased Mei Susu into the secret passage.

It was very dark in the secret passage, and gusts of cold wind blew from time to time.

Mei Susu jumped down the stairs. She heard a noise behind her and was so scared that she tucked her tail in and looked behind her vigilantly.

After realizing that it was the sound of the secret passage door closing, Meisusu put down his tail and looked inside.

Walking further in, Mei Susu saw many branching roads. Zuo Qingxian had not lied to her. This tunnel was indeed interconnected.

Along the way, Mei Susu did not see Zuo Qingxian, and it was obvious that he did not come back.

But there were so many tunnels, no one knew where he went, and Mei Susu didn't know how to find him.

After squatting at the fork in the road for a while, Mei Susu decided to back out. Just as she was about to turn around and go back, she heard footsteps coming from a secret passage.

Mei Susu suddenly froze, and quickly ran into the darkness, hiding her figure.
