I lay in bed, feeling weak and exhausted from days of recurring fevers that drained my energy.
Her words had no effect on me.
Because I simply didn't care.
I could only look at her dress with a sense of regret.
Beautiful like the evening glow, dazzling like flowing light.
How lovely it was, a dress I would never wear in my lifetime.
Later, I heard Awei say that Puyi was insisting on becoming the empress, causing quite a stir and nearly threatening to die for it.
However, Liangqiu Hongxin never relented.
During this time, he visited me several times, but each time I was deep in sleep.
He seemed to finally realize how seriously ill I was.
Doctor Sun said I was suffering from emotional distress.
Out of compassion, he brought Sick Cat to me.
He hoped it would keep me company and lift my spirits a bit.
I knew he was just trying to alleviate his own guilt.
After Sick Cat arrived, I felt revitalized.
I busied myself, holding a small bowl to feed it milk, cutting meat for it to eat, and cuddling it while scratching its back.
It cuddled in my arms, rubbing its head against my hand.
This was a sense of fulfillment and happiness I had never experienced before.
However, happy times are always fleeting.
It got tired of playing and was about to leave.
I held it tightly, refusing to let go.
Awei was anxiously pacing nearby: "Your Highness, let it go!"
"If the Emperor sees this, he will get angry again!"
My eyes turned red as I crazily bit down on Liangqiu Hongxin, who came to take the cat away.
He scolded me: "Rascal."
Then, he left the palace chamber.
I held the cat and smiled foolishly.
"From now on, we will rely on each other!"
"You are my child, and I am your mother."
"I will treat you well and will never abandon you..."

The important matters of the court have nothing to do with me.
I’m not in the mood to care about anything else right now.
However, when Awei told me that Puyi's father had been investigated and was now locked up in prison, I couldn't help but feel happy.
"I heard that during the raid, they found over twenty large boxes."
"Their family's private treasury was filled with gold, silver, jewels, antiques, and jade."
"Puyi's father bought and sold official positions, disregarded human life, forcibly took women, and trained soldiers without permission; there’s evidence for each and every one of these crimes."
Awei spoke with great excitement.
I held my milk in a good mood, sipping it slowly.
"Now she can't become empress."
"That's just wonderful!"
"God has eyes, God has eyes!"
I smiled.
No, it’s not that God has eyes.
It’s my father, it’s the Old Marquis, it’s my father who is avenging me.
I had instructed my father to keep a close watch on Puyi's family.
Since my father loves me so much, he naturally wouldn’t let me down.
Puyi, oh Puyi, in the end, you still lost to me.
I raised my gaze to the courtyard, where sunlight spilled onto the leaves, vibrant with life.
Suddenly, a piercing cat's cry shattered the sky.
Awei dashed outside.
I followed suit.
Lying on the ground was Sick Cat, its limbs twitching, froth at its mouth, curled up and motionless.
Its once bright eyes were now dull.
Its formerly soft fur was matted with blood.
It had once been a companion that brought me countless joys; now, it lay as a cold corpse.
"Little cat, my little cat..."
I cradled it in my arms, gently stroking its head.
Once, it would nuzzle against me.
Now, it would never do so again.
It was dead, right before my eyes.
I stared at it blankly, tears blurring my vision.
