Chapter 139: Lady Yu was attacked
"Ah!!" Concubine Yu suddenly let out an ear-piercing scream, her body trembled violently, she hugged Wei Yingluo's arm tightly, and tried her best to hide behind her.
Her voice was full of fear and despair, which made people feel pity.
"Don't come over here, don't bite me, don't bite me!" Her cries were extremely shrill.
The emperor's eyes darkened when he saw this, and he immediately ordered, "Come here, catch that dog."
The eunuchs heard the sound and quickly pounced on the dog. They were agile and after some twists and turns, they finally captured the furry little creature.
The dog was obviously pampered on a daily basis and rarely suffered such rude treatment. At this moment, it looked extremely aggrieved. After whimpering a few times, it barked in the direction of Concubine Gao.
When Concubine Gao saw this, her face became gloomy and she was very unhappy.
She quickly said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please tell the servants to be careful not to hurt my snowball."
However, before she could finish, Concubine Yu could no longer suppress her inner grief and anger and burst into tears.
Her face was covered with tears as she cried, "Noble Concubine Gao, you are trying to kill me! You failed the first time, and now you are trying the second time. What do you want?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly and asked in a serious tone: "What is going on?" He glanced at everyone, expecting someone to give him a reasonable explanation.
"Reporting to the emperor." Wei Yingluo gently patted Concubine Yu on the back, her face full of obedience, and said softly, "A month ago in the Imperial Garden, this dog suddenly broke in and frightened Concubine Yu. At that time, Concubine Yi kicked the dog to protect Concubine Yu, but this angered Concubine Guifei, and she was punished with a slap in the face.
Nowadays, the two masters of Yonghe Palace need to drink a bowl of calming soup every day before they can fall asleep, which shows how deep the fear in their hearts is. I didn’t expect that today, when Concubine Yu’s spirits finally improved a little, she ran into this incident again! "
"You daring slave!" Concubine Gao's face changed and she shouted sternly, "What do you mean by that? Do you suspect that I ordered that beast to scare people?"
"I dare not." Wei Yingluo lowered her head quickly and replied in fear and trepidation, "I am just reporting the truth."
At this moment, Concubine Yu suddenly broke free from Wei Yingluo's embrace and fell at the emperor's feet, tears streaming down her face, choking as she said:
"Your Majesty, please save me! Your Majesty, please save me! If this continues, I really can't hold on any longer. I'm afraid I'll end up with two dead bodies! And Sister Yipin, she's been humiliated in public, and she's already upset..."
The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at her, with a trace of pity and pity in his eyes.
"Someone, help the nobleman up." He said slowly, his tone calm, but the pressure contained in it made people dare not ignore it.
"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter for you." His eyes fell on Concubine Gao beside him, with a barely perceptible majesty.
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Gao shouted anxiously, her voice full of dissatisfaction and anger. "Could it be that you really believed her lies? Look carefully at the lychee tree, it was clearly scalded to death by boiling water, but she insisted that it was killed by a dog..."
Tears glistened in her eyes, and she seemed to have suffered great injustice.
Hearing Concubine Gao's words, the Queen's heart was moved. She thought: Concubine Gao didn't go to the lychee tree to take a closer look, how could she know that it was scalded to death by boiling water?
“Noble Concubine Gao!” Empress Fucha did not want to give Noble Concubine Gao another chance to explain, and immediately said in a stern voice, “You have repeatedly disturbed Noble Concubine Yu’s pregnancy, and today you let your beloved pet disrupt the lychee banquet that I carefully prepared. What exactly do you want to do!”
Concubine Gao gnashed her teeth and said, "Snowball has always been very well-behaved. How could such a small creature go crazy? Someone must have deliberately put it in the lychee tree to frame me!"
The Queen shook her head gently. "Last time, this vicious dog disturbed Concubine Yu in the Imperial Garden and rushed towards her. Today, it did the same thing again. It also set its sights on the tribute from Fujian and wanted to destroy the gift that the Emperor had sent to me from afar! Who did this on purpose?"
Concubine Gao was speechless and didn't know how to defend herself.
Given the incident of Xiren in the Imperial Garden, how could such a vicious dog be well-behaved and not cause trouble on a daily basis as she said?
"My Lady." The Emperor's indifferent eyes slowly swept over, "Do you have anything else to explain?"
In the Forbidden City, if you want to survive and live well, you must learn to read people's expressions, especially the emperor's.
Concubine Gao suddenly knelt at the emperor's feet and cried, "It's all the fault of that beast Snowball. I will punish him severely when I get back and skin him alive..."
"Tigers and rhinoceros escaped from cages, and tortoise shells and jade were destroyed in their caskets. Whose fault is it?" The emperor suddenly interrupted Concubine Gao.
"The tiger and rhino escaped from the cage, and the tortoise shell and beautiful jade were destroyed in the box. It was certainly the fault of the keeper." Wei Yingluo suddenly knelt down beside him.
"When we were transporting the lychee trees today, Snowball was running around under our feet. He happened to be the Imperial Concubine's pet dog, so we didn't dare to drive him away. As a result, this happened. It's my fault for not taking good care of him. I am willing to accept the punishment! But..."
Her eyes passed by Concubine Yu, who was already crying like a tearful person, and she lowered her voice and said, "I am risking my life to ask Concubine Yu one more question. The person who guarded the lychees has been punished, so how should the person who destroyed the lychees be punished?"
"What a bold servant!" Concubine Gao slammed the table and shouted angrily, "The masters are here, how can a servant like you have the right to speak!"
"...She is asking on my behalf." Concubine Yu sighed softly and slowly raised her tear-soaked face. "I also want to know if there is still a place for me to stay in this Forbidden City."
Concubine Gao was dumbfounded and speechless for a moment.
"The Empress is kind and magnanimous, the Emperor is wise and benevolent, please forgive my rudeness!" Wei Yingluo spoke sternly, her voice sonorous and powerful.
"Noble Lady Yu is pregnant, and her status is extremely noble; lychees are the annual tribute from Fujian, and are a gift from the emperor; the lychee banquet of the Empress was originally a joyous occasion.
"Everything is related to Snowball, but the vicious dog is just an animal after all. It has no manners. If we want to hold it responsible, we can only blame its owner for not disciplining it or restraining it, causing it to cause trouble again and again! Please make a decision, Your Majesty!"
