Although Xiao Qingqian really wanted to know what method Wei Qing had that caused the Empress to fall into her trap, he knew that no matter how much he grinded his lips, Wei Qing would probably not tell her.
On the morning of the next day, when Wei Qing was preparing to enter the palace, the secret guard handed her a small bottle.
Wei Qing raised her eyebrows and smiled sinisterly.
Everything in the imperial garden was progressing smoothly. In the evening, Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian went to the Compendium Pavilion.
Eunuch Chen told her that there really was someone who had come to ask him about the medicinal books that had been tainted yesterday.
Wei Qing nodded in satisfaction, "Which palace?"
Eunuch Chen thought for a moment. "It seems to be someone from the royal kitchen."
Wei Qing raised his eyebrow, "Are you sure?"
"There are so many people in this palace, this servant really doesn't remember much. I just feel that the food in his hand should be in the royal kitchen."
Should...
Wei Qing shook her head.
How treacherous was the empress? How could she let the people in her palace show their faces so easily?
However, no matter how quickly the news spread to the imperial kitchens, it still wouldn't spread to the imperial kitchens!
"Alright, let me remind you again. Come here."
Eunuch Chen nodded his head, "Don't worry Princess Chu, this servant will definitely do as you said."
Wei Qing sprinkled the powder in her hands over the entrance and the entrance of the Compendium Pavilion. She did not stay too long at the Compendium Pavilion either, and returned to Prince Chu’s Mansion with Xiao Qingqian.
On the morning of the next day, the news of Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian leading the dog general into the palace spread throughout the entire imperial palace in the blink of an eye.
After pushing open the door, there was still a large footprint on the ground. She looked at Xiao Qingqian and said, "Let's go catch the culprit."
As soon as they arrived at the imperial garden, the empress arrived with her men.
"Wei Qing, you are really getting more and more impolite, you actually brought an animal into the palace."
Facing the Queen who was looking at her aggressively, Wei Qing pretended to be terrified, "Empress, this is not an ordinary beast."
"Regardless, the palace is a solemn place. You have to either run like mad or lead a dog into the palace. Do you still have any royal prestige in your eyes?"
The Queen felt that by grabbing onto Wei Qing's little braid today, she would be able to settle new and old debts with Wei Qing properly.
Wei Qing's face did not reveal the least bit of fear as she looked at the empress with a beaming smile, "Empress, how could I not know what Emperor's might is? If not for the fact that some people disregarded the might of the Emperor and even destroyed such a precious medical book in order to frame me, I would not have brought my Howling Celestial Dog into the palace. "
Hearing that, everyone looked at dog general in shock.
dog general was not a timid dog. Seeing that there were so many people staring at it, he held his head high and shouted at the people who were trying to discuss something.
Everyone's expression changed as they kept quiet.
The Queen frowned, staring straight at the ferocious dog general.
dog general felt the enmity, and he roared at the Queen, ready to break free and pounce on her at any time.
The empress's heart skipped a beat, and she stumbled back a few steps. Fortunately, the palace maids were quick enough to catch her in their arms.
The smile on Wei Qing's face became wider and wider. "Empress, have you ever heard of Erlang Shen's Howling Celestial Dog?"
The empress realized that she had lost control of herself just now and quickly suppressed the fear in her heart. She said in a low voice, "Don't try to seduce the masses with your lies."
Wei Qing's smile became even more profound. "Empress, you'll know in a while whether it's me who is bewitching the masses or whether dog general is truly the possession of a Howling Celestial Dog."
While they were talking, Xiao Qingqian had already sent someone to report to the Old Emperor and the empress dowager.
"Howling Celestial Dog Possession?"
The empress dowager's voice suddenly traveled into her ears. The empress was stunned. "Chenqie greets mufei."
"Wei Qing, this is the dog general that you told This Dowager about?" The empress dowager's gaze never left the empress dowager's face as she asked Wei Qing directly.
Wei Qing knew in her heart that all of this was something that Xiao Qingqian had arranged for him.
She nodded her head, "Back then, when I had a private interview with Your Highness and happened to cut off Ladies' Dress Bighead's serial killer case, dog general was wise and mighty, someone called dog general the reincarnation of Erlang Shen's Howling Celestial Dog!"
The empress dowager replied with a "hmm". "So, the reason you brought it into the palace today was to investigate the matter of the books in the library being destroyed?"
"Esteemed Empress Dowager, I truly feel sorry for that destroyed medical manual. After all, it was the product of the intelligence of my predecessors. Furthermore, the Emperor also said that this medical manual cannot be measured by gold and silver. Since someone is up to mischief, then this humble one can only request dog general to lend me a hand once more! "
When Wei Qing said this, she would glance at the Queen from time to time.
The empress was increasingly apprehensive, but then she realized that even if they found out who the culprit was, it had nothing to do with her. Therefore, her expression was much calmer than before.
Coincidentally, Old Emperor also came to the imperial flower garden and listened to most of the conversation between Wei Qing and the empress dowager.
"Wei Qing, can you really find the real culprit who destroyed the medical book?"
Wei Qing calmly looked into the profound eyes of the Old Emperor, "Your Majesty, if I didn't have my dog general, it would have been difficult for me to find the real culprit. But with my dog general, it would naturally be a piece of cake!"
dog general had heard Wei Qing mention it several times, so she arrogantly sobbed twice.
Wei Qing reached out and rubbed dog general's head.
The originally vicious wolfhound immediately transformed into a little pampered puppy.
Xiao Qingqian thought about the cartoon that Wei Qing had drawn and the look of dog general's lackey's face changed several times.
Wei Qing held back her laughter and pretended to be mysterious as she whispered a few words into dog general's ear.
Just as the chain in his hand loosened, dog general shot out like an arrow leaving the bow.
Passing by the empress, dog general took a whiff and barked at her.
The empress's face drained of all color, and she collapsed to the ground.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the empress was bedraggled.
Wei Qing shot a glance at the Empress with a deep meaning as she smiled.
This smile was very meaningful, and it magnified the fear and unease in the empress's heart.
dog general ran forward with Mo Qi following closely behind.
The empress fell to the ground, her waist hurt, and she grimaced in pain.
Xiao Qingqian looked at her coldly, wishing that he could have died a moment ago.
Time slowly passed by, and Mo Qi arrived in front of everyone with a eunuch in tow.
When she saw him, the empress's expression changed.
"Young miss, this is the person that the dog general found." Mo Qi reported solemnly.
Wei Qing squinted his eyes, his sharp eyes swept across the eunuch's face quickly, and at the same time, praised and patted dog general's head.
