Chief Zhao looked at me with a helpless expression and said, "Your Highness, why must you be angry with His Majesty? If you soften your stance, life will be easier."
I smiled faintly.
Who wants to be angry with him?
He doesn't like me, I know that.
He hates me, I understand.
He wishes I would disappear from this world to make room for Puyi; I am very clear about that.
I stood up, brushed off the dust from my clothes, and said to Chief Zhao, "It's his stuff; he can do as he pleases. I don't care. Let him take whatever he wants."
When Liangqiu Hongxin arrived, I was sitting on the threshold in a daze.
He sneered, "Sang Yi, what trick are you playing this time?"
"Burning the swing set, do you think that will anger me?"
I looked up at him, and the anger in his eyes intensified.
"Do you think I would care?"
He mocked, "Don't you want me? Now that I'm here, you don't cherish it?"
I looked at him indifferently, watching Puyi giggling in his arms.
"Sister Sang Yi, His Majesty says I can have whatever I want!"
"Then I won't hold back!"
Puyi circled around my palace and finally stopped at my feet.
She pointed at the Sick Cat by my side and said, "I want it."
I trembled all over, my scalp tingling, and I looked at her in terror.
She smiled, but her eyes were filled with malice.
I knew she was doing it on purpose.
She clearly knew how much I loved the Sick Cat.
It had accompanied me through countless lonely and difficult times.
I had long regarded it as my family.
My face turned pale as I screamed, "No way!"
"That's my cat!"
Puyi squatted down and gently stroked the Sick Cat's fur. The Sick Cat watched her warily and let out a threatening sound.
Puyi's smile grew wider. "Sister Sang Yi, what are you afraid of? I'm just asking His Majesty for a cat; are you that reluctant to part with it?"
"After all, everything in this palace belongs to His Majesty; only what His Majesty grants is yours!"
The Sick Cat was locked in a cage, and I heard its struggling cries, which felt like a knife to my heart.
It was not in good health; every time I called it, I had to coax it for a long time before it would come over to eat.
It was very timid and always hid at the foot of the bed to sleep.
It is very well-behaved and never causes me any trouble.
If it were taken away...
I can't imagine.
I might lose the last bit of courage to live.
I rushed over and tightly hugged Liangqiu Hongxin's thigh, crying pitifully.
"Please, don't take the cat away. I will die without it..."
"I really will die..."
"I'm begging you..."
I cried until my voice was hoarse, looking utterly disheveled.
If you have even a little bit of conscience, you would be moved, right?
Even if you only see me as a substitute, you would feel a little bit of compassion, wouldn't you?
I looked at him through tear-filled eyes.
A hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes.
He looked down at me, his gaze seeming somewhat touched.
However, just when I thought he was about to give in, Puyi squatted in front of the Sick Cat's cage, murmuring to himself.
"When I was young, Your Majesty also lost my cat. It was a Tabby Cat, just like yours!"
"Perhaps it is the reincarnation of that cat."
She said it lightly on purpose, but her tone was filled with sarcasm.
My last hope was shattered.
I watched helplessly as he turned and left, taking my cat with him.

The ministers in the court petitioned to fill the Empress's position and establish a consort to stabilize the court.
Puyi was determined to succeed; she came to find me dressed in a dazzling gown, full of herself.
"Sang Yi, do you see this dress?"
"A woman like you will never wear an Empress's gown in her lifetime."
"Do you think you lost to me? No, you lost to your fate."
"You are destined to be trampled underfoot by me for life, forever looking up at me."
"Even on your wedding day, you can only serve outside the palace."
"And I will be His Majesty's wife."
