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

Chapter 252 I Want the Leftovers Too

After putting the brocade box in her pocket, Mei Susu wrapped herself in a cloak and went to Xuanyuan Che first.

Upon hearing that Mei Susu was going to the Queen Mother's place to play, Xuanyuan Che expressed his willingness to accompany her.

The two were about to go out when Zhuiying came into the hall and told them that the Prime Minister wanted to see him.

As soon as Cao He got into trouble, the Prime Minister came to visit. Needless to say, what he came for was.

Xuanyuan Che was about to refuse, but Zhuiying said that General Lin would come with him.

Xuanyuan Che frowned and finally paused.

Mei Susu saw his embarrassment and pulled his sleeve obediently, shaking it: "Cheche, don't worry about me. Business is more important. Anyway, I have been to the Queen Mother's place several times."

Xuanyuan Che took her little hand and squeezed it, then looked at Zhuiyu and Zhuixue with deep meaning in his eyes, asking them to protect Mei Susu at all costs if they encountered any danger.

Zhuiyu and Zhuixue gestured with their fists.

Watching Xuanyuan Che walking further and further down the stairs, Mei Susu gathered her cloak and said to Zhui Yu and the others behind her, "Let's go too."

Mei Susu went to Shoukang Palace. The empress dowager was very happy and asked the servants to make tea and bring fruit. She was very busy.

Mei Susu was not interested in the wine. She sat with the old lady for a while before she felt itchy on her buttocks and could not sit any longer. So she asked casually, "Why didn't you see the black cat of the Empress Dowager?"

The Queen Mother glanced at the small wooden couch by the window and said, "My pet is very naughty. It is hard to see him during the day. But it is not entirely true. When it is time to eat, he comes back, as if he knows the time."

As the Queen Mother spoke, she smiled at Mei Susu and asked intentionally but unintentionally, "I remember Che'er also has a pet. Why can't I see it these days?"

Mei Susu wanted to ask, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, when have you ever met me?"

When I was a cat, I couldn’t see you even once for months.

Mei Susu was annoyed, fearing that her topic had made the Queen Mother think of this, and she was really shooting herself in the foot.

Not knowing how to fool her, Mei Susu could only make up an excuse: "The Queen Mother said that Miss Susu is doing well in Chaoyang Palace, eating well and sleeping well. It may be because the weather is cold, so she doesn't want to move. Every day she either eats and sleeps, so the Queen Mother can't see her."

Mei Susu touched her nose, a typical sign of someone who was talking nonsense and feeling guilty, but in fact she was not wrong, she did not just eat and sleep every day.

The Queen Mother nodded in sudden realization: "So that's how it was. Something happened to Ming Ye that day, and I asked Doctor Xue to come and check on his injuries. Doctor Xue said that pets should not be too fat, otherwise they will get sick easily."

Mei Susu's jade hands involuntarily pinched her abdomen. It was soft and had a little flesh, not much, but it was definitely a lot more than when she first transformed.

She couldn't have really gained weight, Mei Susu was surprised, and decided to go back and take off her clothes to take a closer look.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Susu is in very good health."

The Queen Mother smiled and patted Mei Susu's little hand, her eyes full of love: "In this case, I am relieved."

She sat with the Queen Mother for a while, but before Mingye came back, as time was getting later, Mei Susu stood up and said goodbye.

The Queen Mother did not try to keep her. After all, they could still meet at the palace banquet later.

After Mei Susu left, Nanny Qian replaced the Queen Mother's cup of hot tea.

"The Queen Mother likes Lady Su Su very much. What a coincidence that Lady Su Su and the Crown Prince's favorite pet have the same name."

The Queen Mother picked up the hot tea, took a deep sniff of the tea fragrance, then skimmed off the tea foam and slowly took a sip.

"There are not so many coincidences in this world. It's just human nature."

Mei Susu left Shoukang Palace, looked around, and confirmed that Ming Ye was not there before leaving with her men.

She did not return to Chaoyang Palace, but went to a remote courtyard she had not been to for a long time.

Pushing open the gate, the yard was as dilapidated as ever, with weeds covered by snow, which made it look unusually tidy.

The door of the main house was pushed open with a creaky sound, and what came into view was not the dusty and cobweb-covered mess as before, but neat bedding, clean tables and stools, and a red plum blossom in a rough jade vase on the windowsill, which made this simple house instantly elegant.

I think it was after the last time that Xuanyuan Che gave him this house.

As Mei Susu stepped into the house, she heard Zuo Qingxian's voice.

"Little cat demon, didn't Xuanyuan Che tell you that you should knock on the door before entering someone else's house?"

Zhui Yu drew his sword directly behind Mei Susu, stared at the source of the voice and said in a bad tone: "Who do you say is the cat demon? How dare you call His Highness by his name? You are so brave!"

Zuo Qingxian was not afraid either. He walked out from behind the couch, flicked his folding fan, and looked at Zhui Yu with disdain: "What? Are you going to chop off my head?"

Zhui Yu was filled with murderous intent, and Zuo Qingxian was no less aggressive. Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was tense and a fight was about to break out, Mei Susu shouted, "That's enough! I'm going to get angry if you keep doing this!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhui Yu's killing intent disappeared, and he clasped his fists towards Mei Susu: "It's my fault. As long as Miss Susu is not angry, you can punish me however you want."

Mei Susu had no intention of punishing her. She just asked her and Zhuixue to wait at the door, and then took Yueya into the house.

After everything in the room returned to calm, Zuo Qingxian's face turned pale, and he immediately covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Mei Susu was startled and quickly stepped forward: "Why hasn't your injury healed yet?"

At the beginning, Xuanyuan Che gave him a palm strike, causing him internal injuries, but she sent him nourishing ginseng afterwards. It shouldn't have been so serious after such a long time.

Zuo Qingxian brushed away Mei Susu's hand that was stretched out to support him, sat down with his hands on the table, wiped the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth, and forced a smile: "The wound has healed. This mouthful of black blood has been stuck in my chest for quite some time, and it has never been forced out. Today, I was provoked by the murderous aura of your subordinates, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It will be healed in a few days of recuperation."

Mei Susu looked at him doubtfully: "Really?"

Zuo Qingxian smiled and opened his folding fan: "If Susu doesn't believe me, you can stay here and observe me for a few days. Then you will know the truth. Susu, are you willing?"

"You can still joke like that, it seems to be true." Mei Susu rolled her eyes at him, then took out a brocade box from her bosom: "This is a New Year's gift for you."

Zuo Qingxian clicked his tongue twice and used his fan to tease the red silk on the brocade box: "Could it be that someone else gave it to me as a leftover?"

"Do you want it or not? If not, come back." Mei Susu tried to grab it angrily, but Zuo Qingxian was one step faster than her and put the brocade box into his arms.

"There's no reason to take back the gifts you gave away. I want the remaining ones too."
