Chapter 156 The Iron-blooded Emperor's Palm
Shi Li abruptly stopped her cat walk, then stared at Ji Junze with innocent round eyes.
The boy seemed surprised that someone was visiting at this time. He glanced at the door nonchalantly and asked, "Who?"
"Sir, it's me. I have something to say to you."
The voice coming from outside was actually a young girl's voice.
Shi Li was cheered up, and then jumped off the bed without thinking, walked directly to Ji Junze, and grabbed the hem of his robe with her claws.
[It’s common for people to be jealous, but this is the first time I’ve seen a cat being jealous, hahaha~]
[So, who is that woman outside? I am a cat person! ]
[You guys are outrageous! Streamer, I support you in taking the initiative~~~]
There are outrageous comments every day, but there are especially many today.
Shi Li rolled her eyes secretly, then looked at Ji Junze innocently, with an expression that said I don’t know anything, but I just want to be with you.
Unexpectedly, Ji Junze actually leaned over and picked her up.
Then he held her in his arms and walked over to open the door.
Standing outside the door was Qin Ling, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying. When she saw Ji Junze, her face flushed. "Master, I know you are leaving tomorrow, I..."
It was obvious that she was going to confess.
Shi Li nestled comfortably in Ji Junze's arms, with one paw casually resting on his lapel, feeling inexplicably nervous in her heart.
"Xiao Aze, why don't you go back to bed so late? Be careful not to get up late tomorrow."
A charming and affectionate voice suddenly came, interrupting Qin Ling's words mercilessly.
In the corridor not far away, Qiu Ji walked towards them with a smile on her face.
When Qin Ling heard her voice, he immediately ran away like a frightened deer, his back looking hurried and embarrassed.
Ji Junze remained silent, just held the cat and looked at Qiu Ji.
"Little girl, are you so shameless?" Qiu Ji blinked her watery eyes innocently, and then turned around and walked back without even trying to get closer, "I'm going back to sleep."
The confession came suddenly, and ended even more suddenly.
But Ji Junze seemed to care neither about Qin Ling nor Qiu Ji.
After Qiu Ji disappeared from his sight, he climbed onto the roof without saying a word, holding his cat.
The night sky is still snow-white tonight, covering the body like a layer of light gauze, or like a translucent mist.
Ji Junze sat on the roof tiles, put the cat on his lap, and stroked the soft fur on her head from time to time.
The boy's eyes were still clear, looking straight and fearlessly in the unknown and distant direction.
Shi Li accompanied him quietly, occasionally curling her furry tail, and then nestled in his arms, drowsy.
When they return to Fengguo, they probably won't have such free time.
Although Shi Li did not understand political tactics, but based on the current situation in Feng Kingdom, he could imagine what Qiu Ji and Ji Junze would face after returning.
After all, they had been separated from Ji Yu for nearly ten years. Ji Yu already had many wives in Fengguo and had many children.
Although the first thing he thought of after becoming the crown prince was Qiu Ji and her son, it was hard to say how much affection they had left.
The next day, Shi Li followed Qiu Ji and Ji Junze and got on the carriage back to Feng Kingdom.
When they went out, Ji Junze did not hold her directly in his arms, but took out the bamboo basket that he had used to hold her at the beginning and put her and the small blanket in it.
He carried the bamboo basket by himself and was teased by Qiu Ji when he got on the carriage.
"Why do I feel that you like this kitten so much? The little girl came to see you yesterday, but you didn't seem to care so much about it."
Ji Junze was sitting opposite her. When he heard such words, he acted as if he didn't hear them and put the basket beside his legs very calmly.
Their journey back was relatively smooth.
Today, Feng State is strong and can barely maintain superficial peace with several surrounding vassal states.
When the envoy revealed the identities of Qiu Ji and Ji Junze, all other countries knew that they were relatives of the Crown Prince of Feng State, and no one made things difficult for them.
Five days later, the group finally arrived at Fengguo.
After Ji Yu became the crown prince, his status rose rapidly, and the palace he lived in was naturally very grand.
The carriage stopped outside the palace, and maids and eunuchs immediately came to greet her and eagerly helped Qiu Ji get off the carriage.
Ji Junze took a step back, glanced at the kitten lying in the basket, and lifted her up by the neck.
The climate in Feng State is colder than that in Su State, so he put on a cloak over his robe.
With this layer of cover, outsiders can't tell even if you are holding a cat.
But Shi Li's vision was blocked by the cloak, and he could not see what was happening outside. He could only hear the sounds.
"This is sister Qiuji, right? You must have had a hard time on this journey. It's good to be back."
An unfamiliar female voice was heard. It was probably one of Ji Yu's concubines, who couldn't wait to show off her power.
