dog general sat beside Wei Qing, his bright eyes staring straight at the eunuch.

The eunuch was frightened out of his wits by the brilliant dog general, and knelt there, trembling like a sieve.

"Go ahead." Wei Qing said lightly.

The eunuch had a pale face and his lips were moving slightly.

The Old Emperor and the empress dowager stared coldly at him as the Old Emperor furiously bellowed, "A lowly eunuch dares to destroy the precious books in the Northern Treasury? What crime do you think you should be guilty of?"

The eunuch took a peek at the empress who was similarly upset and opened his mouth wide.

Just as he was about to speak, the empress coughed lightly, warning him not to speak nonsense.

The eunuch's heart skipped a beat, "Your Majesty, this servant was just angered by Princess Chu, this servant was just muddle-headed!"

Wei Qing could naturally tell that there was something very difficult about this eunuch, and she glanced at Old Emperor.

Old Emperor's face was gloomy, "Why can't you be angry at Princess Chu?"

"This …" The overseer was sweating profusely from his anxiety. Soon, a large amount of sweat had soaked through his collar.

"Your majesty, a reckless dog slave like this deserves a heavy punishment!"

The empress was afraid that if the eunuch's mouth was shallow, he would not be able to handle the situation, so she decided to make a move quickly.

Wei Qing looked at the Queen's frightened face with interest, the smile on his face grew even wider.

The empress might seem shrewd and ruthless in her actions, but she was in the end brainless!

She had merely taught Eunuch Chen a few words, saying that the medical manual had been repaired, then easily lured them into the trap before sneaking back to the Compendium Pavilion. Only then was she able to find some clues.

"Your Majesty, I believe that no matter how infuriated a eunuch is with me, he wouldn't have the guts to sneak into the Compendium Pavilion. The most important thing is that on the day that the medical manual was destroyed, Eunuch Chen said that he suddenly became extremely tired, and this humble one did indeed find traces of knockout drugs on the ground. "

Hearing this, the empress's hand beneath her sleeve clenched into a fist.

She fiercely glared at the eunuch and thought to herself: This unscrupulous dog has been caught red-handed by Wei Qing one after another.

However, if this dog really was the reincarnation of the Howling Celestial Dog, would it be able to find his head?

Old Emperor let out a loud snort and ordered the eunuchs by his side to go to Royal Hospital.

Just as Wei Qing had said, if not for the Empress's order, how would a lowly eunuch have the guts to cause trouble in the Compendium Pavilion?!

Wei Qing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, if this eunuch really went to the Royal Hospital to ask for knockout medicine, then he would just be confessing to himself."

"Then what do you mean?" Old Emperor looked at Wei Qing with a deep gaze.

"This knockout medicine can only be purchased outside the palace. As long as I check if this eunuch has left the palace recently, the truth will be revealed."

The space between Old Emperor's eyebrows became deep, after pondering for a moment, he understood the meaning of Wei Qing's words.

If there was no record of this eunuch leaving the palace, then this knockout drug must have been provided by someone else.

Seeing that the Old Emperor was really prepared to investigate further, the Queen felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

She pursed her lips, wanting to pretend to be unconscious, but before she could move, she heard Wei Qing say, "The Empress must have been scared by the dog general just now. With such a pale face, this humble one will help the empress with the needles and ease her emotions.

The Empress thought to herself: If I let Wei Qing give me the needles, wouldn't that mean that she was waiting for Wei Qing to injure me?

"I'm not that pampered!"

The empress dowager had long suspected that the empress was behind all this. Now that she looked at the empress, her eyes were filled with loathing.

The Old Emperor ordered for people to go to a few palace gates. As Wei Qing had expected, there was no record of this eunuch leaving the palace.

"Why aren't you summoning me?" Old Emperor's eyes turned dark, and like a sharp blade, he slashed at the eunuch.

The eunuch was extremely nervous. "Your Majesty, your servant, your servant …"

"Is there anyone behind this?" The empress dowager who had been silent all this time opened her mouth.

The eunuch's breath tightened. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, it's all the empress's fault for abetting this servant. Otherwise, even if you gave this servant ten times the guts, this servant still wouldn't dare do such a thing!"

Hearing this, the empress's face turned pale as she stood up.

"You dog slave, what nonsense are you spouting?" The empress's heart was filled with apprehension as she hastily looked at Old Emperor. "Your majesty, this person doesn't belong to chenqie palace at all!"

"Esteemed empress, can't you look down on the prince like that?" Wei Qing added fuel to the fire.

The empress was so angry that she couldn't breathe properly, her face was as white as paper, and her hands that were pointing at were shaking continuously.

"Wei Qing, you must have intentionally joined hands with this lowly eunuch to slander me!"

As if he had heard an enormous joke, Wei Qing's laughter caused the flowers to shake wildly.

In this cramped atmosphere, Wei Qing's laughter was very piercing to the ears.

The empress pursed her lips. "Your Majesty, you have to trust chenqie. How could chenqie do such a thing?"

Wei Qing stopped smiling and said, "Esteemed Empress, whether or not you are the one who instigated this, the dog general will decide for himself!"

"Wei Qing, do you mean that the emperor is inferior to a dog?" The empress became angry from embarrassment.

This dog was truly strange, if Wei Qing found an opening, she would be forced to continue being passive.

Wei Qing smiled as she looked at the empress. "Empress, you were the one who said this, and I didn't say it. Furthermore, the Emperor is benevolent and benevolent, he would naturally care about the relationship between husband and wife, but the dog general is not. "

"You …"

Wei Qing coldly slandered him with the corner of her mouth.

If he wanted to dig a hole for her to jump into, did he really take her for a fool?

The empress dowager was already facing Wei Qing, but upon hearing this, she patted on the armrest of her chair. "Stop quarreling, it's causing my forehead to buzz loudly."

Everyone held their breath, not making a sound.

The empress dowager rubbed her forehead, then shifted her gaze back onto Wei Qing's face. "Wei Qing, can this dog general really determine if the empress is behind this or not?"

Wei Qing nodded.

Just a moment ago, when dog general rushed out, he stopped by the Empress's side for a moment. Just based on this point alone, Wei Qing absolutely believed that the Empress's body was also stained with the powder that she sprinkled on the ground and at the entrance of the Compendium Pavilion.

A human's sense of smell was not as sensitive as a dog's. Even if one mixed human blood with water, a dog would still be able to smell it.

Wei Qing patted the dog general's head and loosened the chain in his hand.

"Wei Qing, you had basically planned this long ago. You intentionally teamed up with this eunuch and wanted to frame me, and you even slandered me, the crown prince!" The empress howled in anger, her face frighteningly pale.

dog general rushed to the empress's side and tore off her embroidered shoes.

Wei Qing coldly watched as the empress ran into a fit of hysteria, his voice sinking bit by bit. "Empress, do you know why dog general keeps tearing at your embroidered shoes?"
