In response to Queen Qi's teasing, Emperor Qi showed no expression and said calmly: "I did it to show Gu Mingyue, and also to make others be honest, knowing that I like everyone to be honest.
Since he is dishonest, there is no need to keep him. The queen can make her own arrangements. I will give you the advantage and you don’t have to report everything."
"Yes." Empress Qi saw that Emperor Qi looked tired and knew that he had lost a lot of blood today and was actually frightened. He needed to rest, so she thoughtfully said: "Your Majesty, rest. I will leave this matter to my concubine."
Emperor Qi waved his hand and ordered her to go out, closing her eyes and meditating.
Empress Qi went to the side hall, stared at the imperial uniform and sachet, and said, "Go to the Jinxiu Pavilion and bring the black dog."
Maybe it was just a little bit of blood. It was hard to detect with the human sense of smell, and even more so with the naked eye. We had to rely on the dog.
She specifically said: "Cover its eyes."
The palace man had a look of fear on his face, so he agreed bravely.
Empress Qi knew that they were afraid of the dog. In fact, even she was afraid of the dog, so she said: "Tell the owner of the Jinxiu Pavilion and ask her to bring it here by herself. Tell her that His Majesty wants to see her."
Half an hour later, the palace attendant opened the door and said softly: "Your Majesty, the owner of the Jinxiu Pavilion is here."
A thin figure was wearing only a simple plain coat and skirt, the style of the State of Zhao.
The hair was covered in gray and white, with a simple ebony hairpin. There was no other decoration at all, and there was no trace of makeup or powder.
At the age of over forty, there are already fine wrinkles at the corners of the eyes. He is no more skillful than the women in the palace, and he just ages so naturally.
A large dog with shiny black fur followed her feet, its long tongue hanging out and its saliva dripping.
Because a black cloth was wrapped above the dog's eyes, blocking his view, the black dog was very restless, clinging to its owner's legs, and occasionally letting out a low whimper from deep in its throat.
It looks like a coquettish dog, not the ferocious dog in the legend.
It was Mu Erniang and Black Dog who were reborn.
"I heard that your Majesty summoned me for something." Madam Mu Er was neither humble nor overbearing. She saluted lightly, her eyes were calm and peaceful, and she didn't look much elsewhere.
When Empress Qi saw Mrs. Mu, she always had an indescribable feeling.
For example, at this moment, she pretended that Emperor Qi had summoned her. In fact, when Mrs. Mu came, she didn't ask Emperor Qi at all, only asked her.
This gave her an awkward feeling of being seen through. She didn't like this feeling because it was always others who couldn't see through her, not her who was seen through.
"Sit down." Empress Qi became more noble and dignified, and said with a smile: "I need your help with something. Let the dog come over."
A thick belt chain was tied around the new student's neck, and the other end was tightly held in Mu Er's hand to prevent it from hurting anyone.
Madam Mu Er said calmly: "If you let the new baby go, aren't you afraid that it will hurt people? After all, animals are not sensible. If it damages items or hurts people, it will be bad."
Empress Qi said in a joking tone: "As long as you don't hurt me."
"Your Majesty's words are of course true." Madam Mu Er knelt down to untie the chain, hugged the newborn's neck, patted it gently, and whispered a few words in its ear.
Queen Qi pricked up her ears to listen, but when she didn't hear anything, she asked, "What did you say to it?"
Mu Er Niangzi said: "Tell it to behave and stop acting recklessly, otherwise its life will be over."
Queen Qi smiled awkwardly and opened her eyes wide to see the new student.
