Chapter 202 The Terrifying Human Race

"I don't remember that we have castrated dogs in Qingshu Palace."

Behind Chief Steward Shang, the eunuchs in flowery clothes were carrying a big black dog, the one that was defeated by Mao Ba in the Imperial Garden.

The big black dog was dying at this time, lying on a simple stretcher with its back legs spread out, showing its bloody crotch to everyone.

When Concubine Zhang said this, she seemed to be talking about the big black dog, but her eyes were always fixed on Chief Steward Shang.

The eunuchs behind Chief Steward Shang all changed color and silently lowered their heads, afraid that they could not hide their expressions.

Chief Steward Shang was smiling, without any sign of anger.

"My Lady Concubine, it doesn't really matter who raised this dog."

"What's important is that His Majesty is summoning His Royal Highness the First Prince to go to Ganlu Palace."

After saying that, Chief Steward Shang no longer looked at Concubine Zhang, but stared at the First Prince and asked, "Your Highness the First Prince, do you want to go with me now?"

Concubine Zhang saw that she was ignored, and Chief Steward Shang brought up His Majesty's name again, and her face turned ashen with anger.

The First Prince remained silent from beginning to end, his eyes fixed on the big black dog carried by the eunuchs in flowery clothes.

He had long recognized that this one was indeed the black dog he had raised before.

Although the appearance was very different now, he could still recognize that it was indeed that dog.

The First Prince was also a little confused. How could the dog he raised become like this after just not seeing it for a while.

The last time he participated in the animal training competition, the First Prince left the dog on the stage, and he never saw it again.

"My father has summoned me, so I have no reason not to go."

"Mother, I'm going."

The eldest prince bowed to Concubine Zhang and prepared to go to Ganlu Palace with Chief Steward Shang.

"Wait, I'll go with you!"

Although it was in the name of Emperor Yongyuan, how could Concubine Zhang feel at ease when Chief Steward Shang came to see the eldest prince?

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal.

Concubine Zhang planned to go and see what Chief Steward Shang was up to.

"Your Majesty has only summoned the eldest prince."

Chief Steward Shang said so, but he paused and then said:

"But where the concubine wants to go, this old servant can't control it."

"Please do as you like."

After Chief Steward Shang finished speaking, he ignored Concubine Zhang and took the eldest prince straight to Ganlu Palace.

Concubine Zhang snorted coldly, summoned her attendants, and prepared to go together.

Li Xuan, who was secretly observing, only understood where the familiar feeling he had felt when he saw the big black dog before came from.

It turned out that this big black dog was the black thin dog that the eldest prince brought to the competition.

It’s just that his current appearance is nothing like a thin dog, and how can he still see his original appearance.

But Li Xuan had already guessed the reason.

At that time, the last round of the animal training competition was to stop at the master’s command while eating Mengyuan Dragon Fish.

But facing the temptation of Mengyuan Dragon Fish, how could ordinary beasts stop.

The same is true for this big black dog. Facing the eldest prince’s order, it ignored it and only focused on eating the remaining Mengyuan Dragon Fish.

The eldest prince, who had no hope of winning, was so angry that he directly abandoned the black thin dog on the stage and left in a huff.

“No wonder I think this guy looks familiar.”

Li Xuan muttered to himself.

Just listening to what Shang Zongguan said before, the big black dog seemed to have bumped into Feng Zhaoyuan.

But Li Xuan remembered that Feng Zhaoyuan was still in solitary confinement in Suliuyuan?

How did the big black dog get in?

Or did Feng Zhaoyuan sneak out?

Li Xuan was full of questions and planned to follow to see what was going on.

But there were so many cats and it was inevitable that they would attract attention.

So he said hello to Fat Ju and the other cat brother and asked them to go back and wait.

The cat brother didn't have any objections, but Fat Ju refused.

Fat Ju wanted to go with Li Xuan to see what interesting things these humans had that made him so curious.

To some extent, Fat Ju's curiosity was more serious than Li Xuan's.

But this might also be the reason why Fat Ju's intelligence was higher.

Although Li Xuan was a little helpless about Fat Ju's insistence, he had to agree.

Fat Ju was big in size, but very intelligent, so it wouldn't cause any trouble to bring it with him.

Concubine Zhang and the eldest prince walked in the front. Behind them, on one side were the eunuchs and palace maids from Qingshu Palace, and on the other side were Chief Steward Shang and the eunuchs in flowery clothes he brought with him.

The two sides did not interfere with each other, each standing in their own line and heading towards Ganlu Palace.

"Xian'er, just rest assured."

"No matter whether this castrated dog is raised by you or not, and whether it really caused trouble."

"At most, it will be beaten to death with a stick, and you will have to apologize to your father."

"Can your father make things difficult for you for a dog?"

Concubine Zhang was talking, glancing behind her, not knowing whether she was looking at the big black dog or at Shang Zongguan.

Then Concubine Zhang said in a more vicious tone:

"If it wasn't a castrated dog you raised, it would have been beaten to death!"

"How could you leave such a disaster by biting and bumping into your master?"

Concubine Zhang didn't have any intention of lowering her voice, and said to the eldest prince as if no one was around.

The eldest prince was half a step behind Concubine Zhang. He just listened to these words without any reaction, and didn't even nod his head.

Li Xuan followed them from a distance, listening to Concubine Zhang's series of explosive words, and couldn't help but be extremely surprised.

Although Shang Zongguan was just a retired former steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was quite prestigious in the palace, and most of the nobles were polite to him.

Because everyone knew that Shang Zongguan had an important position in the mind of Emperor Yongyuan.

Of course, the powerful power that Shang Zongguan controlled was also one of the reasons why everyone was afraid.

A large part of the power of the flower-dressed eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is still in his hands.

It is unlikely that Shang Zongguan wants to transfer this part of power to Zhao Feng.

Perhaps only after Shang Zongguan has been in office for a hundred years, Zhao Feng can legitimately take over this part of power.

All the way from Caiyun Palace to Ganlu Palace, Concubine Zhang did not look nervous at all, and even mocked Shang Zongguan behind her whenever she had time.

Shang Zongguan just pretended not to hear it.

But Li Xuan could see clearly from behind that the flower-dressed eunuchs following Shang Zongguan clenched their fists.

If it were not for the difference in status, they would have rushed up and beaten this gossipy woman.

"As a noble concubine, this is really too detrimental to your dignity."

Li Xuan couldn't help shaking his head after seeing it.

Earlier in the Imperial Garden, although Concubine Zhang liked to be impotent and furious, she was still very graceful when she had a cold face.

But now, except for the different dress, Concubine Zhang is really no different from a street shrew.

I don’t know what kind of grudge between Concubine Zhang and Shang Zongguan that made her lose her composure like this.

Along the way, this mighty group of people also attracted a lot of attention.

Some nobles passing by, or eunuchs and palace maids, all cast curious glances.

Whenever this happened, Concubine Zhang couldn’t help but shut up and pretended to straighten her chest, as if she was so glorious.

It seemed that in her opinion, it was not a bad thing for the eldest prince to be summoned to Ganlu Palace for questioning.

That’s right.

The other princes and princesses had hardly seen their father all year round, and the eldest prince was specially summoned alone, which was also a special treatment.

As for the matter of Shang Zongguan mentioning the collision with Feng Zhaoyuan, it was not a big deal in Concubine Zhang’s eyes.

In Concubine Zhang’s opinion, it was just that Feng Zhaoyuan couldn’t hold it anymore and wanted to find a reason to get out.

Emperor Yongyuan also went with the flow and wanted to do a favor.

After all, Feng Zhaoyuan was pregnant now, and it would be bad for the child if she was kept in bed.

But as the saying goes, a word is as good as gold, and the emperor's order cannot be easily changed.

Therefore, the loyal eunuch Shang Zongguan gave Emperor Yongyuan an idea to use the eldest prince's dog to find an excuse to let Feng Zhaoyuan out.

Although Concubine Zhang was able to get the position of Concubine because of her family background, she also had some ability.

Although she had lost before, and lost badly, she asked herself that she was not someone who could be manipulated by others.

If you want to find a suitable excuse from their Qingshu Palace, you have to give corresponding benefits.

Otherwise, the eunuch behind you will be whoever's family you want.

But the eldest prince is a son, so it is not convenient to talk about this matter, so Concubine Zhang wants to take action personally to gain more benefits for her eldest son.

Although Concubine Zhang scolded diligently along the way, she had already prepared a draft in her mind and was ready to deal with Emperor Yongyuan.

The closer they got to the Ganlu Palace, the less Concubine Zhang said, until she was silent in the end, and her every move was full of royal dignity.

In just a few steps, Li Xuan witnessed how a street shrew turned into a high and mighty Concubine.

"Life is really like a play, it all depends on acting!"

Li Xuan couldn't tell which one was the real Concubine Zhang.

But no matter what, her ability to switch between these states freely is also a great ability.

"Everyone in this palace has a unique skill."

Fat Ju on the side was also stunned.

Fat Ju still couldn't understand the language of the human race, but he could judge the other party's emotions by tone and voice.

It was the first time that Fat Ju saw a creature with such drastic emotional fluctuations.

Just now, he was still chattering and saying bad things, but now he was as calm as an old monk in meditation.

At this moment, Fat Ju felt that the human race was really terrible!

There is a reason why the cat is angry.

There is no reason to talk to people who are so angry!

At this time, they have arrived in front of Ganlu Temple.

Ganlu Hall was the sleeping palace of Emperor Yongyuan. Every day after the court session, he would review memorials, read books, eat, and summon concubines to sleep here.

Ganlu Hall is located in the eastern corner of the West Palace, next to the West Palace Tower, which is also for the convenience of daily court sessions.

At this time, an old eunuch of about the same age as Shang Zongguan was waiting in front of the door of Ganlu Hall.

Shang Zongguan walked up to the old eunuch and whispered a few words.

Concubine Zhang took this opportunity to wink at the attendants next to her.

The attendants came forward one after another to tidy up the appearance of Concubine Zhang and the eldest prince, striving to meet the emperor in a perfect posture.

Concubine Zhang and the eldest prince also recognized the old eunuch in front of Ganlu Hall. He was one of Emperor Yongyuan's confidants, named Wang Xi.

Wang Xi was not tall and short, but he was short and strong, and he didn't look like a chubby person.

I don't know if he was born short or shrunk after getting old, but he looks a little funny anyway.

He has a kind face. Although he is old, he has black hair and looks radiant.

He is a cheerful and energetic old man.

After listening to Shang Zongguan's words, Wang Xi nodded, put on a smile on his face, and walked to Concubine Zhang and the eldest prince.

Wang Xi has no authority. He is just the eunuch who is responsible for lighting the night lamp for Emperor Yongyuan, but no one in the palace dares to despise him.

Wang Xi came forward and didn't say much. He took out a roll of imperial edict from his sleeve and sang loudly:

"The eldest prince Li Xian received the edict--"

Thanks to "Tianshi Aishuoxiao" and "Yelingyin" for their rewards and support.

Thank you all for your monthly ticket support.

I am in a painful post, so let me ink for a while.
