The Treacherous Concubine’s Guide To Whitewashing - Chapter 130
The desire to live is so strong.
Gu Yi leaned down and picked up the puppy regardless of the dirt.
“Why is there a dog?” Yuan Luo asked in surprise. There are some wild cats in the palace, abandoned by concubines or court ladies, but there are absolutely no wild dogs, because wild dogs are easy to hurt people, and they are removed from the palace regularly.
“Crawled over from the guard station.” Gu Yiyan briefly explained the previous incident.
“Oh, do you want to take it back and eat it?” Yuan Luo asked.
Gu Yi glanced at her with a complicated expression.
“I’m joking, a puppy with such a strong desire to survive would be too inhumane if eaten.”
“But its injuries are quite serious, and I’m afraid it won’t be able to hold it without treatment.”
“I have golden sore medicine over there, but…” Gu Yi stopped talking.
Yuan Luo understood his scruples, and it was difficult to return to the guard with the “foodstuffs” so that his colleagues could not explain it. He said thoughtfully and authentically: “Send this little thing to the room first, or it will really freeze to death.”
The two entered the inner hall, and Yuan Luo quickly took a half-new cushion from the seat, spread it on the side of the copper stove, and Gu Yi put the puppy on it.
Gu Yi quickly left to get the medicine. Yuan Luo squatted on the edge of the copper stove, watching the little black dog curled up in a ball.
In fact, she was a bit afraid of dogs. When she was three or four years old, she was chased by a neighbor’s **** dog and bitten half a street until she threw down the sausage in her hand and escaped. Creatures like dogs have a sense of fear.
“I don’t know if you grow up, will you become such an annoying dog?” Yuan Luo poked the little black dog on the mat.
The little thing whined weakly, milky milk. Its eyes widened, but their eyes were stubborn, and probably still a little wronged.
This look really resembles that kid, no wonder he sees you exactly as he did. Yuan Luo twitched the corners of her mouth and poked the puppy’s head with the small branch next to her.
Humph, two mourning dogs.
Gu Yi walked in and saw Yuan Luo was “bullying” the puppy.
Yuan Luo hesitatedly dropped the small branch in his hand.
Gu Yi went and returned, not only brought back the golden sore medicine, but also an oil paper bag.
Watching Gu Yi skillfully sprinkle golden sore powder on the puppy’s hind legs and wrap it in a bandage.
“Have you studied medicine before?” Yuan Luo chatted one after another.
“On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes. Sometimes after a big battle, the medical officer is too busy, and the colleagues often help each other.”
Although he was still a thirteen-year-old boy, his mental and perseverance was far more mature than ordinary people, Yuan Luo thought secretly, but this idea was opened when Gu Yi took out a greased paper from his arms, revealing a few fleshy bones. At that time, it collapsed a bit.
“Wait, you don’t want to feed it.”
Gu Yi turned his head to look at her, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Yuan Luo shook his head: “It’s impossible for such a small dog to gnaw bones. The teeth are not fully grown, and the stomach can’t digest it.”
Gu Yi suddenly realized: “It’s because I didn’t think well.” He immediately put away the flesh and bones.
“This kind of month-old puppy can at best be fed some milk cake or rice porridge. If there is dog milk, it would be fine. What about this puppy’s family.”
“They’re all dead, I was drunk by the stew.” Gu Yiyan was concise.
“Stew soup…” Yuan Luo couldn’t help but fall on the fleshy bones that Gu Yi had taken out before.
Gu Yi had some black lines: “These are pig bones.” No matter how frustrated he is, he won’t feed him dog meat.
“I’m going to find food.” Gu Yi stood up and left the hall again.
Yuan Luo watched his disappearance, turned her head and continued to look at each other with the puppy. Probably because of the tossing and cruelty before, the puppy was sluggish and drooped his eyelids.
Yuan Luo sighed, helplessly got up and poured a plate of warm water.
The puppy leaned on the edge of the plate, his pink tongue stuck out and licked the water.
After drinking two sips, Yuan Luo turned her head and looked around when she heard rapid footsteps behind her, and she froze. The cup in his hand also fell, and I was frightened.
Gu Yi quickly stepped into the side hall, carrying a giant in his hand.
It was a dog, it should be a dog, half a human tall, bright and majestic. Of course, if it hasn’t been **** by the five flowers. In fact, the big dog’s four paws were tightly trapped by the rope, tied into a knot, and Gu Yi held them upside down in his hand. Even the dog’s mouth was beaten several times, and the whole dog was embarrassed.
Yuan Luo glanced at the big dog’s abdomen, and it was indeed a big dog who was breastfeeding.
Didn’t you say to find food? Just kidnapped a “nanny”.
What a violent guy!
Gu Yi put the poor dog by the fire. The big dog hit the ground and immediately struggled violently.
Gu Yi unceremoniously leaned over to clasp its neck, and shouted in a low voice: “Be good, I’ll send you back in a while.”
He was so powerful that the big dog struggled twice and felt the crisis, and he dared not move again.
Gu Yi turned his head, looking for help at Yuan Luo.
Yuan Luo’s mouth twitched, hesitated again and again, and moved the little black dog to the big dog with his feet.
The little black dog gurgled and drank milk, and soon he was full. Then he fell to the ground.
Yuan Luo and Gu Yi breathed a sigh of relief when they were sure that this little thing was asleep.
Gu Yi stood up and said, “Niang, the minister is in the guard to take it back…”
“No! I don’t like dogs! It’s too noisy.”
Yuan Luo refused, categorically. She didn’t want to keep a dog. She hated dogs. Moreover, dogs have a keen sense of smell. She also has a small plan to use her body skills to gain goodwill. Once she is bound by this dog, she might show her stuff.
Gu Yi’s eyes were a little lost, his thick eyelashes drooped.
He whispered: “Tomorrow, the humble duty will take turns to go home and take a rest. You can take this little thing back. Can you ask your mother to take care of it for a day.”
Words of the day. Yuan Luo thought for a while, and reluctantly nodded, “Then you have to pick it up on time.”
Only then did Gu Yi show a smile. He bent down deeply and saluted: “The humble position is causing trouble to the empress.”
After the puppy was settled, it was not convenient for Gu Yi to stay for a long time. He immediately brought up the hapless dog and left the hall.
Yuan Luo escorted him to the door, but saw a figure hurriedly running over in the distance.
“A Yi, you really came here, it’s not good, something happened…” Cai Yunheng didn’t finish a sentence, his eyes fell on the big dog that Gu Yi was holding, and he was stuck halfway.
“Where did you get the dog? Didn’t you say you don’t want to eat dog meat?”
“It’s just that I encountered this dog scurrying on the road, so I caught it easily and was about to send it back to the kennel.” Gu Yimian didn’t change his silly words, “Yun Heng, first tell me what happened?”
Yunheng, this little brother is Cai Yunheng.
Yuan Luo trembled slightly and looked up at this young man who was about the same height as Gu Yi. Although a face is not as exquisite and beautiful as Gu Yi, it is more valiant and sassy. His big clear eyes are shining like stars, and his smile looks cheerful and sunny.
Cai Yunheng’s name, Yuan Luo, is impressive. He is the son of Gu Liangyong. The two teenagers grew up together. On the way to exile, he exchanged identities with Gu Yi and died on behalf of Gu Yi. Therefore, in the original book, the male protagonist bears the name “Cai Yunheng” most of the time.
The memory of the original book was fleeting, Yuan Luo focused on Cai Yunheng’s words.
“It was the Auspicious Hall in the east that killed a concubine. A concubine was pushed into the lake and killed. Director Zhang asked us to check it out.”
I don’t know, I was shocked when I heard it, the Auspicious Hall was just west of Yuxiu Palace, and the two palaces were next to each other. The concubine was pushed into the lake and killed, which reminded her of what happened to her instantly.
She walked out of the shadows and asked, “Which concubine was killed? Can the murderer be caught?”
Cai Yunheng had seen people at the gate of the palace before and thought it was an ordinary court lady. After taking a look at Gu Yi, he replied, “It’s Liu Cairen from the Auspicious Hall. The murderer has been caught. Mr. Zhang is about to let us deal with this matter.”
Gu Yi didn’t dare to delay the official business arrangements. He handed the big dog to a guard who had come with Cai Yunheng, and immediately followed Cai Yunheng out of Yuxiu Palace. However, Yuan Luo paid attention to this matter, and simply turned a veil on from the hall, and followed them to the Auspicious Hall.
On the way, Cai Yunheng and Gu Yi talked about what happened, and Yuan Luo also listened to it, and only then did he know the whole story.
Early in the morning today, a young **** took his waist card and prepared to go to the palace. The palace lady **** of the Dayu Harem also had several chances to go out of the palace a year. The procedures were quite complete, but when he went out for a search, he was stopped. Down.
There is no other reason. There is a mezzanine in the box carried by the little eunuch. There are many gold pearl hairpin rings hidden. Although the little **** named Xiangming said that it was his master, Liu Cairen of the Auspicious Hall asked him to take him out of the palace. Go, but the guard at the gate refused to believe it completely. Detain the person and take them to Auspicious Hall to ask what happened.
Liu Cairen was in poor health these days, and took leave at Kunning Palace. She slept late in the morning, and the little palace lady did not dare to bother. Today, the guards escorted tea to ask about the palace affairs. The little palace lady went in to pass the message, but found that the bed in the sleeping hall was neat and Liu Cairen was no longer visible.
The womb panicked, and the chief Zhang, who was in charge of the palace affairs of the North Palace, took the **** and the maid to search around, but found Liu Cairen’s stiff body from the Hanyue Lake outside the Auspicious Hall.
When Yuan Luo rushed to the Auspicious Hall with Gu Yi and two people, they found that a lot of court ladies and eunuchs had gathered outside the hall to probe their heads. They were all low-ranking palaces nearby with curiosity.
Sikonglin’s harem is still harmonious as a whole. Without concubines competing for favor, there are fewer incidents. So Liu Cairen is a rare event recently.
The crowd stood in the cold wind wearing court clothes, and some of the weak could not help shivering.
The King of East China Sea stood in the first row, looking at Sikonglin’s back, and knelt down with the civil and military officials and the nobles of the clan.
The ceremonies of sacrificial rites are the old process, and even Sikonglin who is stupid and easy knows that this kind of occasion cannot be taken lightly. Standing obediently in the center of the altar according to the guidance of the courtesy officer.
The whole altar is decorated with silver lacquer, with golden dragon patterns carved on it, and the ceremony is carried out step by step.
auzw.com Queen Wei stood on the side of the altar, and Yuan Luo stood beside her, staring not far away.
Donghai King seemed to notice her gaze, turned her head, Yuan Luo quickly withdrew her gaze.
Halfway through the ceremony, Yuan Luo suddenly heard a roar from a distance.
it has started!
She instantly lifted her spirits and looked into the distance.
The Temple of Heaven is built on Gongshan Mountain in the north of the city, surrounded by vast mountains in the distance. I don’t know what means the East Sea King deployed on the top of the mountain can make such a loud noise.
Into the ear, it is really similar to thunder in the sky.
A smile appeared at the corner of Donghaiwang’s mouth. Involuntarily glanced at the altar. The ceremonial officer on the side of the high platform received the hands-on signal, and took advantage of the effort of leaning over, and quietly bounced a little flame from his fingertips in front of him.
It was as if sparks fell into the dry straw, and suddenly a ball of flames rose. However, the ceremonial officer was surprised that the fire light did not spread inward along the silver paint, but all the way outward, suddenly rushing to Lian’s feet like lightning.
The ceremonial officer couldn’t avoid it, and flame enveloped instantly. Also shrouded in flames is the King of East Sea. He was standing on the periphery of the altar, originally waiting for the fire to rise, but saw that the fire was completely contrary to what he expected, and it flew at his feet.
He was shocked, and without waiting for the flame to approach, he exerted force under his feet and stood up from the ground.
The smile at the corner of Yuan Luo’s mouth suddenly froze.
Hey, East Sea King is actually capable of martial arts? Why did no one tell her before!
The fire exploded, sparks splattered everywhere, everyone was shocked. The location of the Temple of Heaven was empty and there were not many places where the fire spread, but this is an altar! It is the most sacred and solemn place, and the center of the fire shrouded in the most noble blood of the empire.
For a while, I don’t know which official shouted “Guardian!”
Miao Zifang rushed up with the guards long ago.
Yuan Luo seemed shocked to see Queen Wei in front of her, stretched her hand to hold her, and stepped back.
Empress Wei staggered back to a safe place, and only when the guards gathered around did she gradually wake up.
“What’s the matter?” She couldn’t help but turn back to ask Yuan Luo.
The ceremony was solemn, their maids did not come up, and the guards around them were inconvenient to talk, so they could only ask Yuan Luo in panic.
Yuan Luo caught a glimpse of Miao Zifang’s safe operation of Sikonglin from the altar. Then, she turned around and said, “Maybe the courtesy officer acted carelessly and ignited something. Don’t panic.”
She looked calm, and Empress Wei gradually settled down and retreated behind the guard following her strength.
Pulling Queen Wei’s wrist, Yuan Luo clearly heard the prompt sound of favorability +20, and Yuan Luo was surprised. It turned out that the trick to using favorability was here.
Concubine Zhuo Shu interrupted next to him: “Don’t be surprised, the concubine, it seems that I heard the sound of thunder just now, is it not fire from heaven?”
Concubine Zhuo Shu was obviously not the only one who had this idea.
All the officials in the audience were talking and panicking.
As the center of the crowd’s attention, Donghai King’s face flushed red, because the center of the fire and explosion just now was where he stood. How could this be? The bright flame thunder powder is mixed with silver paint and smeared on the altar.
All this is of course Yuan Luo’s design. After prying through the East Sea King’s conspiracy, he ordered people to clean the silver paint on the altar secretly, and then replaced it with truly safe and reliable silver paint.
And the scraped off the mixed silver paint, mixed with a bit of carbon powder, made it into a dusty appearance, and sprinkled it along the edge of the altar near where the East Sea King was standing.
Treating the other body by the other’s way, the effect is the scene you see before you.
It’s a pity that you can’t kill people, but just think about it. The purity of the chemicals in this era is not enough. Although the sound and light produced are loud, the lethality is limited, and in an open place like the altar, surrounded by guards. It is impossible to kill people.
At the beginning, the King of East China Sea didn’t think that he could kill the emperor, just relying on this trick to win people’s hearts and gain the advantage of public opinion.
Because of the thunder and fire from the sky, this year’s ceremonial offering to heaven came to an end in a hurry.
Si Konglin returned to the capital with everyone.
***
On the East China Sea Palace.
Sikongyan slammed the tea cup in his hand to the ground. None of the trusted advisors and subordinates around dared to speak up.
Du Wang, who was in charge of this matter, knelt on the ground and repeatedly cried out injustices: “The lower officials are loyal to His Royal Highness every day and we can learn from them. There is absolutely no difference.”
Sikongyan didn’t speak, and another courtier asked, “In that case, why does the flame explode on the soles of His Royal Highness’s feet? There have been no flaws after repeated tests before obviously.”
Du Wang cried bitterly: “The minister does not know why.”
Another counselor thought for a while, then hesitated: “Could it be that the last time the imperial concubine went there, the woman’s body was filthy, so she broke the game.”
“Tianlei powder is a thing of the sun. It is smashed by a woman, and it is possible to have an abnormal state.”
The corners of Han Changwen’s mouth twitched, what a woman’s body is filthy, it really means they are using a Taoist method to lead thunder.
The counsellors in the study talked and talked, people in this era do not have a deep understanding of chemistry, and only use silver powder as a medium of magic.
Sikongyan lowered his gaze, concealed his unpredictable expression, and stepped forward to help Du Wang personally.
“This king does not doubt Du Qing’s meaning, but this matter is strange and needs to be investigated in detail.”
Du Wang’s eyes flushed with emotion, “The prince, the minister will definitely pursue the matter strictly, and get to the bottom of the matter.”
Sikongyan nodded, then turned to look at Han Changwen: “This matter has to bother Mr. Han to cooperate.”
Han Changwen bowed and saluted, and in response to this incident, he reminded by the way: “Master, those craftsmen responsible for making fire and thunder powder must be cleaned up.”
Du Wang nodded again and again: “Leave this small matter to the next official.”
Several people discussed the next move, and each went busy.
Sikongyan sat back in the chair, his expression dejected and cold.
Soon, a maid in a crimson dress served tea.
She is a very beloved maid recently. Although she has not officially closed the house, she is already a concubine in the house.
Seeing that the prince is in a bad mood today, she gently put down the tray, picked up the tea cup, and presented it to the owner, softly saying: “The prince has spoken for a long time, drink tea to moisturize your throat.”
Sikongyan took it absently.
The maid looked at the handsome lord, her heart full of sweetness. Sikongyan seldom favored the maid. She didn’t know what kind of **** luck that day she got such a gift. If you can give a name in the future, you can even promote it as a side concubine…
The attendant in the front hall hurriedly entered, “Master, there are rumors in the capital.”
Sikongyan’s face sank. The “Tian Lei” didn’t hit Sikonglin before, but instead aimed at him. After returning to the capital, he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the manpower who was preparing to spread the rumors. Where are the rumors now?
“What rumors?”
The guard hesitated again and again, and finally courageously said: “There are rumors outside that you…coveted the throne and you did something that hurts the heavens and reason, so you were struck by the ancestors.”
After finishing speaking, he quickly added: “The subordinates have arranged to capture the villains who spread rumors.”
Sikongyan’s brows burst into blue veins. This was originally their plan, but now that the evil force is giving back to him, it is extremely unbearable.
Sure enough, someone moved their hands and feet. As for who was the person who did the hands and feet, only the woman went to the altar during this period of time. She is the only one who can mobilize enough manpower to change the day under her nose. I really underestimated her, and quietly bought his people. The plan of the altar this time, everyone involved was confidant. Who is the one who leaked the secrets, you have to clean yourself carefully.
Sikongyan thought bitterly, and suddenly laughed again, but there was a frosty hostility in his smile.
The moody face made the maid who had been staring at him trembling, and she had never seen such an angry look on the face of the prince.
Perhaps she moved too much, Si Kongyan noticed, and his eyes swept away.
“Drag out and kill.” He ordered in disgust.
The maid was like a bolt from the blue, before she waited to call her injustice, two attendants from outside the hall rushed in, gagged her mouth, and dragged the person out.
***
Listening to Lian Yanqiu coming to report the latest rumors in Beijing, Yuan Luo felt extremely comfortable.
After the fire incident of the imperial tomb, although the court publicly stated that it was a small accident caused by the carelessness of the attendants around the altar, igniting the sacrifice. But anyone with eyes could see that the sudden burst of light was definitely not an ordinary fire, and the roar of thunder from the distant horizon.
Thousands of pairs of eyes were staring, and soon the saying that fire and thunder fell from the sky began to spread.
Yuan Luo arranged for someone to go to the neighbourhood to guide him, and the rumor that the East Sea King’s crimes caused the sky to thunder and pierce immediately spread.
The King of the East China Sea did not simply admit his fate. He made a list the next day and pointed out that accidents such as a fire during the sacrifice to the heavens were an ominous omen. There may be natural and man-made disasters in the coming year.
He even tried to pull the entire Tianyu Dynasty down to carry this pot.
Yuan Luo immediately arranged for someone to play, indicating that the bad omen had come to the world, implicitly referring to it, and it was self-evident who caused this natural and man-made disaster.
In the past few days, the court’s upper lip and tongue were quarreling fiercely. But Donghaiwang thanked guests behind closed doors these days, saying it was too frightened.
Do you want to take advantage of his illness to kill him, arrange for the assassin to pretend to be an imperial doctor to visit or something?
After thinking about it, I gave up the idea of adventure. After all, in addition to the East Sea King, there are also a group of nobles and nobles represented by Webster, which is an even greater power.
The author has something to say: Gu Yi: Is the evil consort 2.0 version?
