Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Raccoon Dog! To Combat! 21

Zhou Jincheng didn’t even bother wiping away her tears. Her Father Emperor and Mother Empress never refused or refuted any of her requests: “It’s just a few servants; if they die, they die. ”

“Imperial Sister is indeed correct, but in this environment, regarding the deceased servants’ work, Imperial Sister, do you think it’s possible to find new servants to replace them?

The servants in this mansion can still eat a full meal a day, but the commoners outside have been starving for nearly two months. They cannot maintain a normal life, and the employment agencies have been closed for over a month.

Imperial Sister, why suffer here? Return to the palace. ”

Zhou Jincheng did feel like retreating. Was Zhou Qingyuan’s orders more important than her own comfort and happiness?

As a member of the Imperial Family, Zhou Jincheng simply didn’t need to be cautious, not that she didn’t understand the intrigues of the palace. Between her brothers, Zhou Qingyuan and Zhou Qingyan, if she had to support one to ascend, it would definitely be Zhou Qingyuan.

When she was young, under the guidance of her Father Emperor and Mother Empress, she was closer to her elder brother. When she grew up, Zhou Qingyan was often fighting battles in various places, so they didn’t spend much time together. Zhou Qingyan himself chose between maintaining a good relationship with her and establishing military merit, so it’s normal for her to support Zhou Qingyuan, isn’t it?

Zhou Qingyuan’s purpose in bringing her to Nanzhou City was to make her stay, regardless of what Zhou Qingyan was doing, to stir things up. Therefore, whether Zhou Qingyan believed her avoidance of the arranged marriage or not was unimportant; what mattered was staying.

Zhou Jincheng secretly made a mental note against her elder brother. When she returned, if Zhou Qingyuan didn’t compensate her properly, she would beat him to death!

“This Princess will go wherever she wants. I will stay here. Third Imperial Brother, quickly have someone prepare a room for me, according to the palace standards. Don’t use the excuse that the servants can’t do the work. If one person can’t do it, assign more people. I don’t care how your Imperial Brother’s mansion is, but my living quarters must be spotless! ”

At this point, Zhou Qingyan understood. Zhou Jincheng and Zhou Qingyuan were joining forces against him.

On his territory, it wasn’t Zhou Jincheng’s turn to be arrogant and domineering: “Since you want to stay, follow the rules of the Prince’s Mansion. If you’re unhappy, go back. ”

Zhou Jincheng sneered: “Third Imperial Brother, that’s all the composure you have. This Princess and the Princess Consort are close friends. Minister Mu knew that This Princess was coming to see Third Imperial Brother and specifically instructed me to visit the Princess Consort. After all, the Princess Consort wrote to Minister Mu saying she was ill, and there’s a disaster here, so the Chancellor is very worried. ”

Zhou Qingyan calmly agreed and had someone take Zhou Jincheng to see Mu Wanyin, but he was somewhat panicked. Mu Wanyin’s current condition was very poor; Zhou Jincheng would definitely become suspicious upon seeing her, especially since her purpose in coming was to disrupt his plan.

He controlled Mu Wanyin’s channels of communication to Kyoto. To make Mu Wanyin’s death not so sudden, from the beginning, he had people spread the news to Kyoto that Mu Wanyin was sick from acclimatization. Coupled with the rapidly developing disaster, he planned to let Mu Wanyin go after the disaster subsided completely.

He didn’t expect Zhou Qingyuan to deal him such a fatal blow. He could be tough on his own territory, but he couldn’t do anything about Zhou Jincheng either. Her journey from Kyoto to Nanzhou City was so long, yet she only had a coachman and a Head Palace Maid with her, which was clearly unusual.

This was only to create the illusion that she had escaped. There should be many people secretly protecting her. Once Zhou Jincheng learned anything, it would be difficult for him to stop her from sending a message back to Kyoto.

After all, those protecting Zhou Jincheng were the top-tier people carefully selected by his Father Emperor and Mother Empress. He knew the abilities of his own men; it was almost impossible to intercept information or even kill those people.

The most reliable approach was to prevent Zhou Jincheng from knowing anything she shouldn’t from the start.

As soon as Zhou Jincheng left Zhou Qingyan’s study, Jia Yu, who had received notification, hurried over.

“Prince, the situation is urgent. We cannot let the Seventh Princess see Mu Wanyin alive. ”

“But I can’t act rashly either. The Shadow Guards following Zhou Jincheng aren’t pushovers. If we send someone to kill her now, Zhou Jincheng will know that my people acted. ”

“Then have the Princess Consort’s dowry maid do it! ”

“That Death Squad Member will be in trouble even if they change their appearance after being caught by the Princess’s people; she’s here to make trouble. Anything amiss is a big problem. ”

Jia Yu was unusually at a loss, lowering his head and frowning in thought. It was mainly too sudden, and they had too little time to think and act.

Liuli looked at the red glow now emanating from the Book of Fate. Originally a kitten so lethargic from the heat, it instantly perked up: “What a stroke of luck! Since Zhou Qingyan is so worried, then this meow will help him solve this problem! ”

Tuánzi looked at the content displayed by the red glow on the Book of Fate and Liuli’s high spirits. If its premonition was correct, this mission should be ending soon.

At this moment, it had no intention of stopping Liuli. Liuli was at least knowledgeable; the hellish scene outside would have a greater impact on a newly born spiritual being.

Liuli, with her agile figure, deliberately appeared on Zhou Jincheng’s path to Mu Wanyin’s residence, mimicking a normal cat stretching after a nap, then reacting normally to the sight of strangers running away before quickly running to Mu Wanyin’s room out of Zhou Jincheng’s sight.

With Tuánzi watching, Liuli timed it perfectly. The moment Zhou Jincheng stepped into Mu Wanyin’s room, she leaped in through the bedroom window. The fake dowry maid, who was somewhat apprehensive but trying to appear calm, hadn’t even reacted when Liuli bit Mu Wanyin’s neck. The major artery ruptured, bl00d splattering Liuli, staining the tabby cat’s fur.

Liuli looked at the Death Squad Member beside her, pounced, and was grabbed by the Death Squad Member. Liuli, in turn, fiercely scratched the Death Squad Member’s face.

The Death Squad Member initially felt relieved that the Princess Consort died in such an absurd way before the Princess arrived. But upon realizing that if she were caught and questioned by the Princess’s people, the disguise on her face would be easily exposed and the Prince would still be in danger, she became anxious. However, the moment her eyes met the bl00d-soaked cat’s, she was surprised to find that she seemed to understand the cat’s intentions!

As the “dowry maid” accompanying the Princess Consort, she had seen this cat during the assassination attempt on their journey. At the time, she didn’t believe the cat was that capable. But now, she truly suspected that the cat might have become a spirit!

However, her cooperation with the cat according to her understanding went without a hitch. She already resembled the Princess Consort’s dowry maid in build, and her face was now covered in deep scratches, making it impossible to discern her original appearance. Even if she died, she wouldn’t cause any more trouble for the Prince.

Liuli didn’t intend to kill this Death Squad Member. This was Zhou Qingyan’s person; it was best if she could be kept alive. She would maximize the use of this life.
