There's A Beauty

Ghost Mastiff is a subspecies of Tibetan Mastiff. Most of them are infected with diseases and have very unstable tempers. They are often domesticated by humans as fighting dogs.The dignitaries of Dayan Kingdom have a special liking for fighting dogs, and they often gather together to watch them, and these fighting dogs in the palace are even used to perform at large palace banquets.In order to make the scene more intense and bloody, the eunuchs of Maogoufang often starve them for more than ten days, and then release the condemned prisoners in the dungeon for them to chase and bite. The human flesh after being killed will naturally become dog food.

The eighth prince's ghost mastiff is five years old, and it has been eaten by countless people, so it is so hostile that even the evil ghosts feel frightened when they see it.Youshu hid in the deepest part of the cave, watching in horror as the ghost mastiff's sharp claws kept attacking her, but every time she missed by half an inch.Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the dog started to dig the ground, trying to make the hole bigger, what should he do?

When he was helpless, the Seventh Prince's eyes were tearing apart, and he kept yelling, "Old Ba, lock up your dog quickly! If he hurts Youshu, I will never end with you!"

The eighth prince stood in the corridor, staring at him with mocking and sinister eyes.

The seventh prince had no choice but to look at the rest of the palace, and ordered hoarsely, "Go and catch the dog, go!"

Xiao Shunzi and the young eunuch who just arrived were about to move, but two big maids pressed their shoulders from one side to the other, and warned in a low voice, "Who dares to move around in this pair of snow palaces without the order of His Highness the Eighth Highness? You don't want to Alive?"

The new eunuch was sixteen years old, and he looked very thin, but his eyes were piercing, and his lower body was very stable, so he should be a practicing family.He looked at the arrogant and ruthless eighth prince, and then at the helpless seventh prince, with complicated expressions in his eyes.No wonder the emperor sent him here, no wonder he was told before leaving to always report the situation in Shuangxue Palace and Ganquan Palace, and to protect the Seventh Prince, so it turned out to be the case.He tried to break free from the restraint of the maid, but was held back by two eunuchs, so he could only whisper, "But His Royal Highness is also the master!"

"He can't be killed." The answer of the grand lady was chilling.

The ghost mastiff was still digging a hole, and the Seventh Prince knew that if there was any further delay, Youshu would have to die.Without the help of the palace servants, he actually supported his body, fell forward, and then grabbed the turf and stones with both hands, and crawled forward bit by bit.His eyes were red, his teeth were clenched, and his fingertips were bleeding from the rough ground, but he still moved stubbornly and firmly.He has never hated his incompetent self like this at a moment, and would rather abandon his broken body than turn into a ghost and rush towards that mastiff.

He wants to save Youshu, even if he dies!This belief made him very clear-headed, and he suddenly remembered that he heard shouts from Lao Ba's courtyard a few days ago, as if they were "devil kings" or something.Yes, Demon King, this ghost mastiff should be called Demon King.

He slapped the ground with his scarred hands and shouted loudly, "Demon King, come here, come and bite me!"

"Your Highness!" Xiao Shunzi and the new eunuch exclaimed in unison, but they were firmly pressed back.In the panic, Concubine Hui, who heard the movement, walked slowly from the other end of the veranda, which made the two overjoyed, and immediately called for help.But the result was unexpected, Concubine Hui turned a blind eye to this, walked up to the Eighth Prince and stood still, looking into the distance with dark and unpredictable eyes, without any intention of stepping forward to stop him.

how so?The little eunuch was terrified, he couldn't help but look to the left, and saw that the ghost mastiff abandoned the puppy in the cave and attacked the seventh prince.Since the emperor ordered him to protect His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, even if his identity is exposed, he is obliged to do so. He was about to shake the two maids who suppressed him away, but he saw the puppy hiding in the hole run out, chasing after the ghost mastiff and biting him. It tails, to draw its attention back.

"Youshu, run away and leave me alone!" The Seventh Prince's heart was about to break, two marks were washed out by tears on his filthy cheeks, he looked embarrassed and helpless.

How could Youshu leave her master alone?After biting the ghost mastiff, he stood not far away, barking at it.The ghost mastiff looked left and right, and finally succumbed to the instinct of killing prisoners, and rushed towards the seventh prince who was lying on the ground.Youshu hurriedly chased after it, biting its tail, and refused to let go even though its internal organs were thrown out of place, and finally made it change its direction and chase after its own tail to kill.

The Seventh Prince was so mad with hatred, he repeatedly slapped the ground and shouted, "Come and bite me, come on!"

Seeing this scene, the Eighth Prince smiled cheerfully, but Concubine Hui said, "Enough is enough, stop making trouble."

The palace servants who looked on coldly seemed to have lifted the immobilization spell, and moved quickly, some to lead the dog, some to help the Seventh Prince, and some to clean up the blood and broken nails on the lawn.But after a while, all the messy traces disappeared, as if nothing had happened before.

Yes, that's it, you can watch him die, it's no big deal.As Concubine Hui told herself, her expression became more and more indifferent.She pointed at the eunuch who trained the dog, and said casually, "This slave neglected his duty, forgot to lock the iron cage, and let the ghost mastiff run out and hurt the seventh child. It is an unforgivable crime, pull him out immediately and kill him with a stick! For today's matter, whoever is gossiping outside will end up the same as him."

The queen has the golden seal in her hand, and the six palaces are all under her control. She said it was black, but no one dared to say it was white. She said it was a deer, but no one dared say it was a horse. Power is so charming.

The palace people under the steps kowtowed in unison and promised in a low voice.The new little eunuch also prostrated himself on the ground to hide his shocked expression.It turned out that Concubine Hui, who was said to have cared so much for His Highness the Seventh Prince and even said that she was willing to lose ten years of her life in order to heal His Highness's legs, had such a vicious heart.Isn't the Seventh Highness her son?

The Seventh Prince didn't care about Concubine Hui's ignorance of him at all. He just hugged Youshu who staggered over into his arms, stroked the fur around its wound with trembling fingertips, and reprimanded with sobs, "Idiot! I let you Run, you can run farther, why come back?"

If I don't come back, what will you do?Youshu didn't dislike being messy, and carefully licked his bloody fingertips with the tip of her tongue, and many tears fell out of her eyes as soon as she blinked.

The master and pet hugged each other and wept silently, their hearts were filled with horror and fear, but their hatred was as deep as the sea.The Seventh Prince unbuttoned his clothes, covered the puppy tightly, and kept kissing the top of its hair, with a cherished attitude like treating a lost and found treasure.Feeling the slight trembling of the puppy's body, his heart also trembled, twitched, and excruciatingly painful.He looked at the eighth prince with red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ji Yongye, I will never let you go!" Between you and me, there will always be death!

The eighth prince had never seen Lao Qi's ruthless side, and he couldn't help being overwhelmed by the cold aura he released.But soon, he laughed nonchalantly, "Oh, really? I'm waiting for you." Hua Luo looked at his unconscious legs, his eyes were full of contempt and mockery.

The Seventh Prince waved at Xiao Shunzi, "Push me back," and pointed to the new eunuch, "You, go to the imperial hospital immediately to find the imperial physician."

The two took orders together, one pushed the person back to the palace, and the other went to Qianqing Palace under the pretext of going to the toilet after calling the imperial doctor.

The imperial physician who specialized in seeing Lao Qi was bought by Concubine Hui a long time ago, and even the imperial physician of Emperor Jing was from Ouyang's family, so she was not worried at all about his talkativeness, so she just called Lao Ba into the hall and gave him a hard lesson , but not because he harmed his brother, but because his behavior was too reckless.

"Of course someone will do this kind of thing. Why do you want to dirty your hands? If Lao Qi is really dead, even if you put all the blame on the eunuch who trained the dog, you will not be able to escape the responsibility of negligence, and it will even arouse your father. The emperor's suspicion. Why don't you use your brain?" Concubine Hui repeatedly poked her son's forehead.

"Mother Concubine, Erchen was impulsive. Later, Erchen also figured it out, and just wanted to scare him. Mother Concubine, Erchen knew that it was wrong. It is best for Mother Concubine to help Erchen clean up any mess. If there is no mother and concubine, what should I do." The Eighth Prince immediately put an arm around her, acting coquettishly and being obedient.He knew that what Concubine Mu liked most was his closeness and dependence on her, and this was the real reason why he was better than Lao Qi.

In Shuangxue Hall, the Seventh Prince's hands had already been bandaged, and the imperial physician was cutting off the hair on Youshu's body and cleaning his wound.

"Take it easy, don't hurt him!" The Seventh Prince gently held Youshu's front paw, staring at the imperial physician's movements without blinking.

"I told you to be gentle and didn't understand? Youshu is trembling, he is in pain!" He has an extremely irritable temper, and if Youshu trembles, one of his nerves will be broken. Kicked out.

The imperial physician quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty, arguing that he could only treat people, but not cats and dogs.

The Seventh Prince stared at him coldly, neither responding nor screaming, and after a long time, he carefully held Youshu and pressed it against his cheek, while the other hand slammed on the table and roared in a low voice, " Get out! Get away from me, and never appear in Shuangxue Palace again!"

Master, you are hurt!Youshu, whose fluff was cut to pieces, struggled to get up, wanting to jump down to see his bleeding fist.The Seventh Prince immediately hid his hands in his sleeves and comforted him softly, "I'm fine, don't worry." Finally, Xiao Shunzi, who was eager to try, ordered, "You come to treat Youshu's injuries. You should have learned it?" He couldn't trust Mrs. Anyone in the hospital or the Double Snow Palace can only rely on the newcomer now.

"Your Majesty, this slave is best at healing cats and dogs. Youshu looks distressed, but it's just a flesh injury, and it will heal soon after applying the medicine." Xiao Shunzi said as he took Youshu, and slipped away. Treat the wound properly.

Seeing that he was really capable, the Seventh Prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his face was full of tenderness, but countless bloody and cruel thoughts flashed in his heart.He has never been so frustrated, helpless, and angry. For a moment, he even has the heart to kill.When the power is in hand in the future, even if Ji Yongye's skin is peeled, his tendons are cramped, and his bones are smashed to ashes, it will be difficult to eliminate his hatred today.

While thinking about it, the grand maid came in with a bowl of medicine, and said as if nothing happened, "Your Highness, it's time to drink the medicine."

The Seventh Prince said lightly, "Put it there first, and bring me my horsewhip."

The maid put down the medicine bowl and asked in confusion, "What do you want the horsewhip for?" But she still went into the inner room and brought the horsewhip.

"Kneel down." The Seventh Prince took the whip, his voice turned cold.

The palace lady knew that he wanted to settle accounts after Qiu Hou, so she couldn't help showing a look of resentment.

"You are my servant. If I ask you to kneel, you have to kneel. If you are not willing, I will go back to Emperor Father and ask him to help you change an errand."

The grand lady was startled, and quickly knelt down. His Highness Xindao Seventh was always cowardly, and his temper was very gentle.She almost forgot that although Concubine Hui holds the golden seal, Emperor Jing is still on her head. Emperor Jing is the ruler of the Great Yan Kingdom and the Seventh Prince's reliance.But so what?He never imagined that he would die soon, right?

Thinking of this, the court lady who never took the Seventh Prince seriously found a little balance and lowered her head slightly to hide her disdainful expression.After a while, she heard the Seventh Prince say slowly, "I am not a cruel person, and I will not kill anyone for no reason. I will give you a whip today to teach you to remember who is your real master and who can control you." life and death."

It's just a whip, it really is a woman's benevolence!The palace maid contemptuously thought to herself, and she breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, the Seventh Prince raised his hand and slapped her hard on the face. With the barbed whip, the corner of her forehead, left eye, bridge of nose, and lips were hit. , together with the skin and flesh of the lower jaw, a layer of flesh was cut away, forming a deep wound with visible bones and an oblique cut of the face.The skin of the eyelids was already the thinnest and most fragile, and it had been completely cut open at this time, revealing a bloody eyeball. The palace lady screamed as she held the eyeball that was about to fall out of her socket, her heart was full of disbelief and horror.

It turns out that the so-called benevolence of women is like this.His whip directly ruined the maid's eyesight, appearance, and future.Even if Concubine Hui relied heavily on her again, if the other party knew that she had too many secrets and was no longer useful, she would definitely kill the grass and root out it.

Where is the Seventh Prince so weak?Where is it mild?He also has a violent and vicious side, and even has the means of killing without blood, but he has not shown it.At this moment, the grand lady finally realized that she had underestimated His Highness the Seventh Highness too much, and it was too late to ask for forgiveness, as long as she was carried out of the Shuangxue Palace, she would have to die.

She began to cry, howl, and confess her crimes, and even wanted to tell Concubine Hui's calculations so that His Highness could show her a way out, but was dragged out by two eunuchs who walked in suddenly.A group of palace people who had just watched coldly knelt down one after another, obviously terrified.

The Seventh Prince knocked down the medicine bowl on the table, and ordered, "If you want to kneel, kneel in front of me." Seeing Youshu trembling from the sound of cracking, he hurriedly rubbed his hairy head lightly.

With the great court lady as a warning, everyone did not dare to disobey their orders, and moved closer one by one, kneeling on the broken porcelain in pain.There were gasps one after another in the hall, and the smell of medicine mixed with blood, forming a drowsy and depressing atmosphere.

Xiao Shunzi had already bound Youshu up, and carefully put her into the arms of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince.One person and one dog immediately hugged each other, you licked my lips, and I kissed the tip of your nose, with tears in my eyes.This scene made Xiao Shunzi have mixed feelings, and also made Emperor Jing who hurried into the hall blush.

That spy is really good at handling things, he has reported everything in detail just now, including everyone's expressions and actions.Emperor Jing has been in a high position for a long time, so he has seen many ghost tricks, and soon he wants to understand why Concubine Hui and Lao Ba treat Lao Qi like this, and even has doubts about what happened back then.

He who was originally furious, suddenly became extremely depressed after seeing the tragic situation of his son and the puppy.It was in vain for him to call himself a loving father, but he kept ignoring Lao Qi's situation.Where is he a relative of Concubine Hui and Lao Ba?It's their stumbling block.In this world, they are the ones who most want Lao Qi to die quickly.

No wonder Lao Qi cherishes a dog as his lifeblood, because he has already noticed it, right?The younger brother is not the younger brother, and the concubine mother is not the concubine mother. They are all his enemies. They take care of them in every possible way on the surface, but they treat them coldly and even murder them secretly. Except for the puppy, he can't even get a little warmth and comfort. arrive.How did he survive all these years?And how do you feel on edge, like walking on eggshells?

And these vague fears, he didn't even have a place to confide, because no one would believe him, including himself before this day.Emperor Jing was heartbroken, and walked over quickly to hold his son in his arms.

"Father, don't press Youshu!" The Seventh Prince immediately blocked it with his hand.

"I'm sorry, Father didn't pay attention." Emperor Jing hurriedly backed away, wanting to rub the puppy's head, but was blocked by his son, his anger and worry were all replaced by crying and laughing.But he could understand his son's strong desire to protect.When everyone was watching his life and death with cold eyes, only this puppy rushed up regardless of the danger. It was just his pet, and the person kneeling here was his slave.

In the end, these slaves are not even as good as a dog, so what's the use of them?Emperor Jing waved his hand lightly, "Stop kneeling, pull them all out and stick them to death!"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, everyone was about to show joyful expressions, but they all collapsed in the next moment.At this moment, Concubine Hui and the Eighth Prince heard the news and came, and were about to kneel down to explain, but were interrupted by Emperor Jing's deep voice, "Lao Qizhen took him away, his horoscope is too weak, and you and Lao Ba are destined to die." Too hard, sooner or later it will be aimed at him."

This was just a high-sounding excuse, Concubine Hui understood everything when she saw the little eunuch standing behind the emperor.Her face turned pale in an instant, and she hardly dared to think about how the emperor would view this matter.What Lao Ba did today was clearly intended to kill Lao Qi and that dog.The emperor is also a winner who has come out of the strife in the palace, so he can't guess the inside story?And his motherly attitude must have been exposed, right?

It was only then that Concubine Hui realized that even if she had won the empress's golden seal, she was not the master of the harem, the real master had always been the emperor.In this world, there is nothing he can't find out, only things he doesn't want to know or even bother to know.

The Eighth Prince also panicked, knelt down with a plop, and said in a trembling voice, "Royal Father, everything was a misunderstanding. It was that damn servant who didn't take care of the dog and told it to run away..."

Emperor Jing interrupted him, "Where's that dog?"

The guards standing on both sides immediately went to get the dog, unaware that an old ghost passed them by.

"Little descendant, how are you?" He floated to the Seventh Prince's side, carefully inspecting Youshu who was wrapped into a ball.Youshu nestled in the master's palm, licking his fingertips time after time, and then hugged a thumb of his with her fat and short front paws to gain a sense of security.

The Seventh Prince understood that he still had lingering fears, so he held him up and kissed him, and said in an inaudible voice, "Did you hear that, You Shu, we don't have to worry about it anymore." However, the price to pay for this was too great.He really wanted to anger Lao Ba and make him do irrational things, but he would never take Youshu to risk.If he could, he wished he could transfer all of Youshu's wounds to himself, let alone forgive what Concubine Hui and Lao Ba had done.From now on, they are no longer his relatives, but endless enemies.

Youshu was also mad with hatred, moaning and chirping to comfort the master, while communicating with the old ghost with thoughts, "I'm fine. Have you prepared the antidote?"

"Where can it be? The imperial pharmacy in the palace is not complete with the medicinal materials needed for the antidote. I have sent the little devil to look for them in the capital. I have a clue, but I have to wait a few days. I brought the medicinal powder to save you." , I didn't expect it to be a step late."

"What powder?"

"The powder that can lure the ghost mastiff away is sprinkled on the Eighth Prince and kept for him to suffer."

"Then spread it on Emperor Jing."

The old ghost was silent for a moment before saying, "You are cruel!"

Not long after, a guard brought up the ghost mastiff locked in the iron cage.The ghost mastiff saw the Eighth Prince and Concubine Hui wagging its tail repeatedly, but suddenly barked when it saw Emperor Jing above it, its front paws kept scratching the door, and its fangs gnawed on the copper lock, making a creepy creaking sound.The copper lock soon showed dents, and it is not difficult to imagine what it would be like if this pair of minions fell on Emperor Jing.

Emperor Jing was silent for a long time before he said, "Old Ba, you have tamed this dog very well. Except for you and Concubine Hui, you actually don't recognize anyone. Even I want to bite it to death."

Who would dare to commit the crime of regicide?The Eighth Prince and Concubine Hui were so frightened that they kowtowed to confess their crimes.Emperor Jing didn't want to talk to the two anymore, he waved his hand at the guard and said, "Kill it. In the future, no more fighting dogs will be kept in the palace."

The guard took the order and drew out the saber at his waist to chop off the head of the barking ghost mastiff.Concubine Hui and the Eighth Prince, who were splashed all over with blood, screamed. In addition to panic, there was also deep despair hidden in their eyes.It's over, the emperor has already begun to suspect them, and according to his suspicious nature, he will definitely conduct a thorough investigation of everything that happened before.

Evidence, is the evidence wiped clean?Concubine Hui thought hard, but heard the emperor say, "The empress has recovered from her illness, please return the Phoenix seal." Hua Luo went to push the seventh prince herself, and said in a gentle voice, "From now on, the seventh prince will live in Guangling Palace. Take good care of me."

Because there is no evidence, and Ouyang Tao has a lot of troops in his hands, he can't deal with Concubine Hui and Lao Ba for the time being, so he can only pretend that he hasn't noticed it yet, and see if they will mess up.Emperor Jing, who came step by step from the power strife, can best understand Lao Qi's hesitation and helplessness. He is talented but has a lot of fate.Apart from his father and the puppy in his arms, he was completely helpless.

Looking down at the son who was holding the puppy like holding a fragile object, Emperor Jing was full of pity, he couldn't help patting his hair, and sighed, "Chang Ye, father is ashamed of you."

The Seventh Prince shook his head quickly, and said sincerely, "Father saved my son from fire and water, and there is nothing I can do to my son. My son and Youshu will never have to worry about it again."

When Emperor Jing heard this, he felt even more uncomfortable.Concubine Hui, who kept kowtowing, suddenly realized: Lao Qi had already sensed her plan, and took advantage of the opportunity to put a hidden stake by her side to clean the palace.Everything today was planned by him, maybe even Lao Ba's reckless behavior was provoked by him.As expected of being a member of the Ji family, the city is really deep enough. If I had known this, I should have strangled him to death during childbirth!

Concubine Hui was too late for remorse, and secretly blamed herself for not being cruel enough, but she didn't know that her and Lao Ba's lives were being targeted by a dog.
