The next day, Yu Li was brought back to the Palace.

Yu Li while staying in the General's residence was doing very good. Its whole body was snowy white. Soft to the touch to the point of moving people's heart. Its smooth and glossy back looked like a rouge jade. Adhering to its softness, once coming into contact with it, it would make people unable to stop.

The Blind Concubine embraced Yu Li in his bosom, without restrain, he kissed it dearly.

The cat in his embrace had a warm feeling that would make people feel relieved.

Yu Li quietly and peacefully lied prone. Its pupils were glistening, clean, clear and flawless. More beautiful than any glorious place in the world.

The Blind Concubine hugged her firmly, pressing against the tip of the cat's small and delicately tender nose.

He was sincere. He loved Yu Li to the core of his bones.

From the gate, a loud voice announced: "The Prince has arrived---"

The sound hadn't disappeared yet, Rui Ze's small figure had already come running in. He was carrying a carved food box. His small face was moist with sweat.

Xiao Bao asked him: "Why do you come here?"

"Of course to give His Grace delicious food."

Xiao Bao made a despising face: "You only care about eating."

The Blind Concubine pleasantly laughed, "The Prince is still a little child, naturally he would love to eat."

Rui Ze, for once felt that there was someone backing him up, he proudly lifted his chin towards Xiao Bao.

Xiao Bao opened the carved box. From inside, he took a crisp apple and sweet-scented Osmanthus cake as well as several snacks. He sliced the cake and handed over a small piece to The Blind Concubine's hand, also giving a piece to the Little Prince.

The Blind Concubine was about to put the sweet-scented Osmanthus into his mouth, Yu Li suddenly meowed loudly. It was beyond people's expectations when it suddenly leaped and bit the sweet-scented Osmanthus cake, at lightning speed, it gulped down the cake.

Xiao Bao couldn't help but reprimand that cat: "Ai ya. Look at you. You are indeed capable of doing this fine thing!"

His words hadn't sunk in yet, Yu Li abruptly shrieked severely. Its small body twitched violently. Its front claw waved wildly in the air. Its body abruptly lost its center of gravity, tumbling down from the bed. At the time when everybody lowered their heads to look at it, it had already ceased to move. Its huge cat's eyes were opened blankly. The limpid and clear pupils were still as penetrating as ever. However, there wasn't any trace of lively light anymore.

The Little Prince widened his eyes in fear. The cake in his hand fell and dropped, breaking into pieces on the ground.

The Blind Concubine was unable to see, he didn't know what exactly had happened. Anxiously he asked: "Where is Yu Li? What happened to Yu Li?"

Xiao Bao was gaping and dumbstruck. For a moment he completely failed to react. Distracted for several seconds, like a madman, he seized Rui Ze's front robe. Severely interrogating him: "You tell me, what is this all about? What was in that cake? The cake you gave to Master!"

The Little Prince was still a little child. Strictly being questioned, he was afraid to the point of crying, "I don't know! I was playing at the Empress Dowager's Palace, the Empress Dowager gave me that box with the cake and snacks, told me to bring it and give it to The Blind Concubine to have a taste. Also especially warned me not to secretly eat it. I don't know why it could be like this. I really don't know!!"

He was talking while crying, choked several times and coughed to the point that his whole face became very red.

Xiao Bao loosened his grip on Rui Ze's front robe. Seized with terror, he retreated a couple steps, tumbled and sat on the chair.

The Blind Concubine was extremely anxious: "You all quick tell me! What actually happened to Yu Li?!"

Xiao Bao's mouth was quivering, "Master. Yu Li is dead."
