A Luo bit his lip and said softly: "Master, is it possible that this cat was raised by someone and was deliberately abandoned at the right door of Changkang to lure you and the second elder brother into taking the bait?"
Xianyue pondered: "According to what you said, if this is a bureau, then it has been laid out for two or three months?"
A Luo nodded and said: "Yes, only by raising it for a long time can it be possible to control it to attack designated people, just like what Dr. Song said just now. Not all sites are the first release of No. 1 Romance. Search 15;1 and you will know."
Xianyue stroked her aching temples and said: "At this moment, I can't tell what is going on. Let's wait until Qi Kuan and Zhichun come back. No matter what, I will definitely find out who dared to harm Yong.
People of Lian."
After about half an hour, Zhichun returned to Yanxi Palace first, presented the crystal stone to Xianyue, and then said: "Master, I asked, there are a total of three people in the palace who use this crystal stone to decorate their nails."
, they are Concubine Hui, Concubine Jia and Guiren Lu. The one who has come into contact with cats should be one of these three people."
After Ah Luo repeated the names of the three people, he said excitedly: "Master, this is Concubine Hui. She must be Concubine Hui. She failed to harm you before, but now she has come up with this method, which can not only eliminate the second elder brother, but also
If I can blame you, my master, I will kill two birds with one stone!"
Although Xianyue also felt that Gao was the most suspicious among the three, she did not rush to a conclusion, but said: "We will wait until Qi Kuan comes back."
A full hour later, Qi Kuan came back. Qi Kuan didn't bother to pat the snow off his body, and quickly stepped forward and said: "Master, I asked many people, and finally I asked you, this morning, there is indeed someone."
A palace servant fed the cat."
Xianyue perked up and said quickly: "Do you know who it is?"
"The old eunuch said that the palace man was very unfamiliar and could not be recognized. Moreover, he was busy sweeping at the time, and his eyesight was not good, so he did not pay much attention to it, but there was something strange." Qi Kuan stared at the ground.
The cat corpse frowned, "He said that after the cat ate the fish fed by the man, he let him hold it in his arms docilely without any struggle, and seemed to take him away later."
A Luo immediately shook his head and said: "Impossible. When the second elder brother wanted to touch it, he was scratched. How could he let others hold it?"
Zhichun took over and said, "Unless it's like what A Luo said just now, this cat was raised by someone but deliberately abandoned at the right gate of Changkang."
Xianyue's eyes flashed slightly and she said, "Qi Kuan, do you think this is possible?"
"Raise?" Qi Kuan repeated, then shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be possible, because the old eunuch and the slave said that before Master, you entered the palace, the cat was wandering near the right gate of Changkang, and there was no one there.
Knowing where it came from, the palace people looked pitiful and would sometimes throw things to it." Dunyi
After a pause, he continued: "If the master really wants to find out its origin, he might as well call the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask. All cats, dogs, birds and beasts in the palace must be registered with the Ministry of Internal Affairs before they are allowed to be brought into the palace.
, and all cats and dogs brought into the palace have been manipulated in advance to ensure that they will not give birth to cubs in the palace."
Regarding Qi Kuan's words, Xianyue only said four words, "Go and pass it on immediately."
Before anyone came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Xianyue asked the palace servants to take down the cat body first. After a while, Qi Kuan brought an old eunuch in. As soon as the latter entered the palace, he immediately clapped his sleeves and knelt down, "Slave Lin Changshou
, I would like to say hello to Concubine Xian, may you be blessed."
"Get up." Xianyue said kindly. As early as the moment he came in, Xianyue had put away all the gloom and solemnity on her face and replaced it with a gentle look.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Lin Changshou stood up as instructed, he said respectfully: "I wonder what your Majesty has to say about this slave coming here?"
Xianyue said softly: "I heard that you are in charge of registering all the cats, dogs, birds and beasts in the palace, right?"
"That's right," Lin Changshou replied, and said flatteringly, "If your Majesty wants to raise a cat or dog to relieve her boredom, just give her an order and I will definitely send you the best one."
Xianyue smiled and said: "I recently accompanied my second elder brother to feed a black cat at the right gate of Changkang. It is very cute and I would like to keep it in the palace. However, I am worried that the cat will not be born."
There is a master, so I’ll send you over first to ask.”
"All black..." Lin Changshou murmured and repeated, and suddenly said: "I remembered that when the late emperor was still here, a group of pets were sent from outside the palace, including a cat that was all black. Because the palace
Due to human negligence, the cat escaped from the cage that was not closed tightly and has never been found since then. It must be the one the empress was talking about."
Xianyue said calmly: "In other words, this cat does not have an owner?"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that you have a master." After Lin Changshou replied, he added: "If your Majesty likes it, I will send someone to search for it near the right gate of Changkang, catch it and bring it to your Majesty's place."
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Manager Lin. I will find a solution for this matter myself, so I don't have to worry about it." After ordering him to retreat, Xianyue said: "Aluo, it seems that your speculation is not valid, that is, it is a fleeing bird.
Out come the wildcats.”
A Luo said puzzledly: "But if it is not raised by people, how can it be held in people's arms?"
Qi Kuan turned his eyes and said hesitantly: "If the cat faints, let alone being held in someone's arms, even if it is killed, there will be no resistance."
Xianyue was the first to understand what he meant, and said in a solemn voice: "You mean, the palace servant put a sweat medicine in the food he fed it?"
Qi Kuan shook his head and said: "I am not sure, but this is the only explanation."
Xianyue thought for a moment and said: "Your guess must be correct. Furthermore, if you don't stun it in advance, how can you apply poison on its claws."
A Luo said bitterly: "This must have been done by Concubine Hui. Who else could come up with such a vicious idea except her. Master, you must not let her go this time. You must ask the emperor to punish her severely!"
"Even if your guess is correct, except for these crystal stones, we have no evidence. If we bring the case to the emperor, not only will we not be able to convict her, but she may even beat her up."
A Luo was startled and then said unwillingly: "What should we do then? Is this the end of it?"
Xianyue smiled coldly and said: "She has harmed me again and again, and now she wants to harm Yonglian as well. How can I let her go? No matter how sophisticated her strategy is, there will definitely be flaws. What we have to do now is
Dig out her flaws one by one, and then present the evidence in front of the emperor."
Qi Kuan hesitated: "Master, if we really find evidence, will the Emperor punish Concubine Hui severely this time? Will it be like last time, knowing that Concubine Hui made a mistake but still letting her go?"
