nChapter 16: Mo Youyou’s Difficult Situation

nAfter hearing Helian Yi’s question, Mo Youyou hurriedly turned around, intending to slip out of the southern courtyard and distance herself from Helian Yi.

nWho knew that Helian Yi would extend his hand and make a sudden gesture in the air? Mo Youyou felt her entire body unconsciously going backward. She directly arrived in front of Helian Yi.

nMo Youyou angrily scowled at the man, and thought, “Aren’t you sick?! Or was it a fake illness? Weren’t you guarding against me just now like I’m an AIDS patient? And now you’re dragging me back? ”

n

n

n“What are you thinking?” An indifferent voice pulled Mo Youyou back to reality. Hearing Helian Yi’s words, Mo Youyou shook her head and replied:

n“No…nothing. Royal Uncle, it’s already late. If we don’t go back now, Eunuch Sun would be angry. If you have anything to say, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

nHelian Yi ignored her words as he repeated his question:

n“Are you the one who did this to Bai Xue?”

nMo Youyou looked at him speechlessly. “Which Bai Xue? I’ve only arrived at the Palace, how would I know any Bai Xue?”

nAs soon as her voice fell, the cat that Mo Youyou dyed into a tiger cub ran over and quietly squatted down at her feet. Its mouth continuously licked its front paws, as if it was washing its face, and also playing around.

nWhen Mo Youyou saw that Helian Yi’s gaze was on the little tiger, she hurriedly squatted down and picked it up. She thought that he wanted to kill it.

n“Royal Uncle, Youyou knows that you are a prince, but what about being a prince? You can’t just go messing around with people! Look at it! It’s so cute! It would be a pity to Kill him!”

n

n

n“Who told you that I wanted to kill it?”

n“…”

n“Do you know whose pet Bai Xue is? You certainly dared to dye it like this!”

nWhen Mo Youyou heard this, she turned to look at the little tiger in her hand, then back at Helian Yi. Her gaze eventually settled on the little tiger.

n“It’s called Bai Xue? The pet of the Queen-Empress? And I drew it as a tiger?”

nHelian Yi answered coldly: “What do you think!”

nSuddenly, Mo Youyou sat down on the ground and hugged the struggling kitten on her hold. Wiping away her tears as she cried out of grievance.

n“Royal Uncle, Youyou only saw a cat barging into her room to cause trouble. Since Youyou was a kind and gentle child, she was unwilling to step on an ant to death. Naturally, Youyou was reluctant to make a move against Bai Xue.

nBut if Youyou didn’t teach it a lesson, it would never be able to remember! That was why Youyou dyed it as a little tiger. If the queen blames you, blame it on me. Royal Uncle, I admit my mistake.”

nLooking at Mo Youyou’s resolute and decisive eyes, Helian Yi couldn’t stand it any longer. He wouldn’t bear if he sent her to the empress to confess.

nAfter all, he had promised his grandmother that he wouldn’t harm her good sister’s granddaughter.

nHelian Yi opened his mouth and told Mo Youyou.

n“Wash it clean and return it to its original color.”

n“Royal Uncle, can you wash it?” Mo Youyou was worried that the cat would turn ugly if she washed it. She wasn’t afraid that the empress would hate her, but rather faint from anger when she sees the cleaned cat.

n“Hmm? No way!”

nMo Youyou lowered her head and could only nod in response.

n

n

nAfter Helian Yi and Wu Shang left, Mo Youyou carried the little tiger and hurried towards the southern courtyard. When she saw Yue Er lying on the stone slab and fast asleep, Mo Youyou’s eyes became moist. This servant was stubborn. If she couldn’t find her, she should have gone to rest!
