Chapter 390 What black cat?
There were guards guarding outside the King of Chu's residence, and Xiang Sui discovered it when she came not far away.
Fortunately, Hibiscus was with me.
"You go and attract their attention, I'll go in and find the cat." After Xiangsui gave the order, she went around to the other side of the courtyard wall and hid.
Hibiscus immediately exclaimed, "Ah! There's a snake!"
"Someone come quickly!"
Soon all the guards nearby were attracted over.
"What? There are still snakes? Didn't we catch them all?"
Hibiscus was so frightened that his face turned pale and he pointed to the bushes. "I really saw it. A long one crawled in!"
"Hurry up and help catch him! If the emperor comes back and finds out about this, he will definitely not let him off easily!"
After Jinkui scolded him a few times, the guards present realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately started searching in the bushes.
But the area around here was full of grass and gardens with lush vegetation, making it extremely difficult to find. A group of people hid in the grass and searched everywhere, but found nothing.
While everyone was distracted, Xiangsui immediately slipped into the yard.
He rushed over and opened the door.
Look around in every corner of the room.
When she lay on the ground and looked under the bed, there was a dark corner, but two round eyes were looking at her.
"There really is a cat!" Xiangsui was shocked.
This means that the bloodworms injected into Jiang Ningwan last time might have lost their effectiveness, and everything Jiang Ningwan said when she was brought before the emperor were all lies!
We must catch this cat and show it to the emperor!
Let’s see how Jiang Ningwan can escape the crime of deceiving the emperor this time!
Xiangsui immediately crawled under the bed to catch the cat, but the black cat dodged nimbly and she missed several times.
After being chased in the room, the black cat rushed out of the room and escaped all the way to the yard.
Xiangsui immediately chased after him upon seeing this. Jinkui, who was not far away, also saw the scene and quickly stepped forward to close the gate while no one was paying attention.
When he turned around, he saw the guards coming towards him.
"Miss Jinkui, are you looking for the King of Chu or the Queen of Chu? They're not here."
Jinkui froze for a moment, then smiled calmly and said, "If you're not here, I'll come later."
The guard realized something was wrong and asked, "You haven't seen the snake Miss Jinkui mentioned yet. Why don't you help us look for it?"
Jinkui pretended to be surprised, frowned and said, "Could it be that I am seeing things? Thank you for your help."
After saying these polite words, Jinkui left.
Meanwhile, Xiangsui was still chasing the cat.
The sun was shining brightly at this moment, and the black cat could be seen at a glance even when it hid in the grass.
The black cat ran away and entered a yard.
Xiao Anzi, who had just walked out of the yard, was stunned for a moment. He clearly saw the black, furry thing rushing past his feet and into the yard.
Before I could come to my senses, I saw Xianghui chasing after me.
"Did you see a black cat?" Xianghui asked.
Xiao Anzi recalled that he had seen the black cat in General Jiang's yard.
At this moment, General Jiang was accompanying the emperor hunting in the back mountain.
"I've never seen one. What black cat? There are no animals in this palace anymore." Xiao Anzi shook his head.
Xiangsui obviously didn't believe it. She pushed him away and rushed into the yard. She had to find the black cat today!
Xiao Anzi's expression changed, and he immediately stepped in front of Xiang Sui and said, "Miss Xiang Sui, this is where my master and I rest. It's a bit dirty and messy, and I'm afraid it will dirty your feet."
Hearing this, Xiang Sui snorted coldly, "I'm here to look for a cat, I'm not interested in your eunuch's residence."
"Step aside!"
As he said that, he pushed Xiao Anzi again and rushed into the yard.
She glanced around the yard. The yard was simple, with few flowers and plants. She couldn't see any trace of the black cat anywhere. If it wasn't in the yard, then...
Xiangsui glanced at the half-open door.
His eyes suddenly turned cold.
That beast must have gotten into the room!
She strode forward to search the room.
Xiao Anzi was shocked and immediately rushed forward to stop her, "Miss Xiangsui, no! This is my master's room. No one is allowed to enter without his permission!"
Xiang Sui looked dissatisfied, "So what about your master? Isn't he also a eunuch?"
"Don't you know how important I am to the Emperor? It's his honor if I enter his room. How could he stop me?"
If this was a concubine's room, she really wouldn't dare to enter.
It’s just a eunuch’s room, what’s wrong with not entering it?
Xiao Anzi was dissatisfied in his heart, but his attitude was still polite. "Excuse me, Miss Xiangsui. If you want to go in, wait for my master to come back and he will let you in."
Xiangsui's expression turned serious, "It will be too late by then! I have to go in now, get out of my way!"
Xiao Anzi refused to give in.
He knew Xianghui was going to go in and catch the cat, so he couldn't let Xianghui in!
But Xiao Anzi's obstruction angered Xianghui.
Xiang Sui raised her hand and slapped him fiercely.
Snapped--
Xiao Anzi staggered.
Before he could stand firmly, Xianghui knocked him to the ground.
Before she could get up from the fall, she saw Xiangsui trying to push open her master's door.
Xiao Anzi was so anxious that he hugged Xiangsui's feet in panic.
"You can't go in!"
She was just a dancer. Although she was favored by the emperor, she had no status and was essentially no different from servants like them!
Why do you bully people like this!
Xiangsui was angry and kicked Xiao Anzi away.
Xiao Anzi tried to step forward to stop her, but she stepped hard on his wrist.

"Ah!" Xiao Anzi screamed and trembled all over.
Xiangsui gritted her teeth, pressed hard with her feet, and refused to let go.
"You little dog slave! Even if your master were here, he wouldn't have the right to stop me! Who the hell do you think you are?"
Xiao Anzi cried out in pain.
The sound spread out of the yard.
Soon the guards arrived.
Only then did Xiangsui lift her foot and let go of Xiao Anzi.
Xiang Sui insisted on entering the room. At this time, the guard came over and said, "Miss Xiang Sui, the imperial concubine invites you."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Sui's brows showed a hint of anger.
He glanced at the room behind him unwillingly, glared at Xiao Anzi, and walked away.
Concubine Rong already knew about this and called Xiang Sui over to ask about it.
Xiang Sui's attitude was cold, and she reluctantly explained, "There was a beast in this palace. I was afraid of hurting the emperor, so I chased him all the way. That dog servant stopped me, and I accidentally hurt him."
"Is it just a servant? Is it worth the Imperial Concubine going to such great lengths to deal with him?"
This provocative attitude made Concubine Rong unhappy.
She was not doing this for Xiao Anzi's sake.
Just now, a guard said that Jinkui sneaked into Ningwan's residence, and someone saw Xiangsui.
She was worried that he was targeting Ning Wan, so she asked someone to find Xiang Sui, but unexpectedly she saw her bullying Xiao Anzi.
"I think Miss Xiangsui doesn't understand the rules of Daning Kingdom. Guests are guests. Xiao Anzi is a servant, but he is also the master's servant, not yours."
"But it's not surprising that Miss Xiangsui, a dancer, doesn't understand this. After all, you don't come from a wealthy family, and no one has taught you the rules."
Xiang Sui was full of dissatisfaction and challenged coldly:
"What does the Imperial Concubine want?"
The emperor dotes on her.
Concubine Rong is gentle and kind, and she looks like a soft persimmon at first glance. How dare you touch her?
Concubine Rong was calm and composed, and said, "Go kneel outside."
