As Xiao Youlan spoke slowly, Emperor Yongzheng and Empress Dowager Zong were both stunned.
They barely remembered the matter of the cat; had Xiao Youlan not brought it up just now, they would have forgotten entirely that such an incident had ever occurred in the palace. The Crown Prince had once owned a kitten, but they had conspired to kill it.
Emperor Yongzheng’s face tightened. "You say so much, yet you mean to blame your grandmother and me!" He let out a cold laugh. "What kind of Crown Prince spends his entire day in the study with a cat? He neither speaks nor plays with his brothers and sisters. If this continues, how can he retain even a shred of the dignity expected of a Crown Prince?"
