The cat suddenly felt a sense of danger and exploded from its back to its tail.

Thinking that the cat wanted to play, An Le quickly instructed the palace servants to bring over some gadgets like bell balls, peacock feathers, sandbags, glass beads, and so on.

Cats always liked the new and hated the old. After getting a bunch of new toys, Qing Guang forgot all about the red tassel.

The little girl played with all the toys with the cat, and bell-like laughter rose and fell in Jingren Palace.

After playing for an hour and eating dried fish, the cat was so tired that it fell asleep. It curled up into a ball on a soft cushion.

Gu Yanfei accompanied An Le to sit by the window and play chess. They weren’t playing Go and were just guessing chess pieces.

“Five.”

“Oh right!”

“16.”

“Sister, you’re right again.”

Amidst the happy exclamations, Chu Yi arrived.

He didn’t let anyone report it. He came quietly and watched them from afar.

Gu Yanfei was the first to notice him. She smiled brightly. “Do you want to guess?”

Chu Yi was dazzled by her beautiful smile. His heart skipped a beat, and he nodded. “Okay.”

Gu Yanfei casually grabbed a chess piece from the chess box and held it upside down with a cup. She smiled and said, “Guess. ‘

An Le tugged at her brother’s sleeve, her eyes sparkling. “Brother, Sister is very powerful. She hasn’t lost once.”

The implication was that she would lose every time.

Looking at his sister’s flushed face, Chu Yi chuckled and patted her head. “Yes, your Sister Yanfei is very powerful.”

He sat down beside An Le and grabbed a chess piece. He placed the cup upside down and smiled at Gu Yanfei.

The two of them compared the numbers with their hands at the same time and lifted their glasses.

“You guessed it right!’

An Le was even more excited than the two of them. She clapped enthusiastically and looked at the two of them in admiration.

Her excited voice woke up the cat, who was sleeping soundly. The cat opened its eyes and let out an unhappy meow.

Being swept away by its green cat eyes, An Le felt her heart melt. She lowered her head and leaned over, rubbing her face on the cat skillfully.

“Qing Guang, you’re so beautiful!” She said it with a lively smile.

This was the first time Chu Yi had seen his sister’s sunny appearance. He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and reveal a hint of shock. She was like a banished immortal in the clouds who suddenly had the aura of the mortal world.

Clearly, the soul-stirring scene in the Qianqing Palace just now hadn’t moved him at all.

Gu Yanfei rested her chin on her hand and looked at him. She smiled like the bright moon in the night sky and asked, “It’s settled?”

“There’s another wave of people.” Chu Yi’s eyes were filled with smiles. “They’re arguing.”

This was because even the censor had switched sides and exposed Feng She. Even if Xiao Shoufu wanted to help Feng She escape, he couldn’t suppress those angry people.

After Gu Yan flew away, more officials rushed over when they heard the news of the censor crashing into the pillar. These people were all suppressing their anger. They were originally here for Chu Yi, but they realized that this was actually Feng She’s scheme.

Now, the aristocratic families were already confronting each other head-on. They were all quoting from the classics and arguing about the past and present.

The Emperor hid away to rest with a headache. Chu Yi let these people argue, and he came to Jingren Palace first.

Even if Chu Yi didn’t say much, Gu Yanfei could imagine the scene in a tizzy and laughed.

Those aristocratic families wanted to blow up the matter of the censor crashing into the pillar, but now they were trying to steal a chicken and getting shorn.

It was obvious that Chu Yi must have fanned the flames a lot.

“They can argue for a few days.” Chu Yi casually played with a white piece and flipped it nimbly between his fingers.

The crystal clear white piece flashed with a faint luster under the sun. It reflected in his eyes, as if there was a faint light dancing gently.

For him, these few days were enough.

Gu Yanfei found it interesting and picked up a black piece from the chess box. She copied him and flipped the black piece nimbly between her fingers, her slender fingers flying like butterflies.

After playing for a while, she casually threw the black piece back into the chess box. Chu Yi’s clear voice sounded in her ear. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to the Lian family’s house.”

Leaving the cat to play with An Le, Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei left Jingren Palace on the palanquin.

Censor Lian, who had yet to recover from his serious injuries, was lying in a carriage at the entrance of the palace. He was quite weak from excessive blood loss.

Although he had changed sides at the last minute in the Qianqing Palace and had been forced to commit suicide, he had ultimately disrespected the Emperor and almost made a huge mistake. Now, he was considered a sinner and had been removed from his official uniform. He was only waiting for the Emperor to make a final decision..
