The cat

Your right what the hell

That what thought

That is what I thought

I was just going to ask the same thing

I dont think it was the same queen though (??) she looked more like the 9th prince's mom...i might be wrong though, im not sure ╮(￣▽￣)╭

It can’t be the 9th Princes mum as she refuses to meet with the king, a little erlier at the autumn ball the king mentioned hoping to see her again at the mc wedding since it’s been so long

o.e Could be one of the many mother's of his son's. The translations are a bit rough when they mean concubine, but say queen.

Maybe just cat corpses?

I’m pretty sure the reigning Queen is afraid of cats, and the one who presented HengHeng with the cat was Consort Yue, her mother in law and the Nine Prince’s mother. However, it is quite questionable that the Queen did not react to the mere sight of the cat like she did before.

Maybe them b!+¢#€$ all look he same

The webnovel explains it all.

9th price's mother = concubine Yun NOT the queen/empress

The empress is afraid of cats.
The one who gave the cat to Feng YuHeng was concubine Yun.
When Feng YuHeng was in the palace, she stayed most of the time at concubine Yun's place. There, concubine Yun fed a cat that showed up there. The cat didn't get close to the concubine but it like Feng YuHeng right away. So, the concubine gave the cat to Feng YuHeng

@Thao The last time the cat was dead but this one's alive. And the other cat was supposed to be bloody, with deep cuts and even starting to decompose. A very gory sight... Anyone would react badly, no need to be afraid of cats...

yeah, that's right. It's just one of the many discrepancies in the story. If you read the novel it's FULL of similar mistakes, maybe because there are really a lot of chapters and the author got confused
