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.”
