Chapter 689: Cat and Aphrodisiac <2>

Chapter 689: Cat and Aphrodisiac <2>"KYaaaaaaaaaa!"

"What are you doing?"

"KYAaaaaaaaa!"

It was immediate chaos.

Nan Hua, who was talking with Long Qian Xing about playing music, turned her head once more. This time, she could see that the maidservants were trying their best to separate a white cat from Nan Xin.

The other girls nearby were also screaming and tried to keep their distance lest they got scratched because they were not being careful enough. No one dared to get close to that white cat.

"Her Highness's cat is going wild." Long Qian Xing sighed and stood up.

"Brother Long is going there?" Nan Hua asked. She thought that Long Qian Xing was relieved of his duty as 'Imperial Guard' since he was here to accompany her. But probably the real reason why he wore this outfit was because he also had some duties.

"I should show my face. Wait for me here, Hua'er."

"Mhm."

Long Qian Xing smiled once more at Nan Hua before walking towards the commotion. He also signaled the other guards to start securing the perimeter. They had to find out how this white cat could suddenly turn crazy.

With the help of the maidservants, the white cat finally released Nan Xin. The white cat hissed a few times towards Nan Xin as if it was encountering its biggest enemies before rustling away.

Empress Dowager Mei's face was utterly ugly.

She had been humiliated before because of that flower. Now, a mere girl dared to challenge her patient by agitating her beloved white cat?

Empress Dowager Mei came from poor background, but she had lived in palace long enough to know that even blood related sister could scheme against each other. There was nothing called sisterhood for some of them as they would rather pierce knife on the same person they affectionately called sister just a few moments ago.

And she didn't like Nan Hua either.

However, she didn't want to be used by others again. After being put into difficult position continuously lately, Empress Dowager Mei knew that some people were using her in order to settle their personal problem.

She hated it.

They were treating her as if she was stupid.

"Do you have any proof?" Empress Dowager Mei asked coldly.

Nan Xin was stunned. She then looked at the fragrance pouch that was already partially broken and wanted to say that her sister switched it. However, it would require her to have knowledge that the thing that caused the white cat to go wild was inside her fragrance pouch.

Long Qian Xing saw Nan Xin's gaze and his cold voice rang out, "Is there anything wrong with the fragrance pouch? It's prepared by the palace in accordance to the instruction set by Her Highness Empress Dowager Yan."

In other words: are you blaming Empress Dowager Yan?

Nan Xin shook her head. "No, First Sister must have switched with mine and... and slipped something inside."

Nan Hua had already crossed the bridge and arrived not far from Nan Xin. Her black obsidian eyes were staring at Nan Xin calmly, but her voice sounded aggrieved as she said, "Your Highness, that's not possible."

Empress Dowager Mei turned to look at Nan Hua and felt like gritting her teeth. Nan Hua was wearing a veil that covered her countenance, but her dignified posture was an eyesore in her eyes.

She hated these noble ladies. They always acted as if they were much better than everyone else, not putting anyone in their eyes.

"What makes you say so?" Empress Dowager Mei's voice was as cold as ever.

"Your Highness, I enter the venue earlier than Second Sister and didn't try to stay close with her at all. How could I know what fragrance pouch she picked when I enter first and then leave the area because Young Master Long come to find me?"
