The Treacherous Concubine’s Guide To Whitewashing

The desire to live is so strong.

Gu Yi leaned down and picked up the puppy regardless of the dirt.

"Why is there a dog?" Yuan Luo asked in surprise. There are some wild cats in the palace, abandoned by concubines or court ladies, but there are absolutely no wild dogs, because wild dogs are easy to hurt people, and they are removed from the palace regularly.

"Crawled over from the guard station." Gu Yiyan briefly explained the previous incident.

"Oh, do you want to take it back and eat it?" Yuan Luo asked.

Gu Yi glanced at her with a complicated expression.

"I'm joking, a puppy with such a strong desire to survive would be too inhumane if eaten."

"But its injury is quite serious. I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it without treatment."

"I have golden sore medicine over there, but..." Gu Yi stopped talking.

Yuan Luo understood his scruples, and it was difficult to return to the guard with the "foodstuffs" so that his colleagues could not explain it. He said thoughtfully and authentically: "Send this little thing to the room first, otherwise it will really freeze to death."

The two entered the inner hall, Yuan Luo quickly took a used mat from the seat, spread it on the side of the copper stove, and Gu Yi put the puppy on it.

Gu Yi quickly left to get the medicine. Yuan Luo squatted on the edge of the copper stove, watching the little black dog curled up in a ball.

In fact, she was a bit afraid of dogs. When she was three or four years old, she was chased and bitten by a neighbor’s **** dog. She didn’t escape until she threw down the sausage in her hand. Creatures like dogs have a sense of fear.

"I don't know if you grow up, will you become such an annoying dog?" Yuan Luo poked the little black dog on the mat.

The little thing whined weakly, milky milk. Its eyes widened, but their eyes were stubborn, and probably still a little wronged.

This look really resembles that kid, no wonder he sees you exactly as he did. Yuan Luo twitched the corners of her mouth and poked the puppy's head with the small branch next to her.

Humph, two mourning dogs.

Gu Yi walked in and saw Yuan Luo was "bullying" the puppy.

Yuan Luo hesitatedly dropped the small branch in his hand.

Gu Yi went and returned, not only brought back the golden sore medicine, but also an oil paper bag.

Watching Gu Yi skillfully sprinkle golden sore powder on the puppy's hind legs and wrap it in a bandage.

"Have you studied medicine before?" Yuan Luo chatted one after another.

"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes. Sometimes after a big battle, the medical officer is too busy, and the colleagues often help each other."

Although he was still a thirteen-year-old boy, his mental and perseverance was far more mature than ordinary people, Yuan Luo thought secretly, but this idea was opened when Gu Yi took out a greased paper from his arms, revealing a few fleshy bones. At that time, it collapsed a bit.

"Wait, you don't want to feed it."

Gu Yi turned his head to look at her, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Yuan Luo shook his head: "It's impossible for such a small dog to gnaw bones. The teeth are not fully grown, and the stomach can't digest it."

Gu Yi suddenly realized: "It's because I didn't think well." He immediately put away the flesh and bones.

"This kind of month-old puppy can at best be fed some milk cake or rice porridge. If there is dog milk, it would be fine. What about this puppy's family."

"They're all dead, I was drunk by the stew." Gu Yiyan was concise.

"Stew soup..." Yuan Luo couldn't help but fall on the fleshy bones that Gu Yi had taken out before.

Gu Yi had some black lines: "These are pig bones." No matter how frustrated he is, he won't feed him dog meat.

"I'm going to find food." Gu Yi stood up and left the hall again.

Yuan Luo watched his disappearance, turned her head and continued to look at each other with the puppy. Probably because of the tossing and cruelty before, the puppy was sluggish and drooped his eyelids.

Yuan Luo sighed, helplessly got up and poured a plate of warm water.

The puppy leaned on the edge of the plate, his pink tongue stuck out and licked the water.

After drinking two sips, Yuan Luo turned her head and looked around when she heard rapid footsteps behind her, and she froze. The cup in his hand also fell, and I was frightened.

Gu Yi quickly stepped into the side hall, carrying a giant in his hand.

It was a dog, it should be a dog, half a human tall, bright and majestic. Of course, if it hasn't been **** by the five flowers. In fact, the big dog's four paws were tightly trapped by the rope, tied into a knot, and Gu Yi held them upside down in his hand. Even the dog's mouth was beaten several times, and the whole dog was embarrassed.

Yuan Luo glanced at the big dog's abdomen, and it was indeed a big dog who was breastfeeding.

Didn't you say to find food? Just kidnapped a "nanny".

What a violent guy!

Gu Yi put the poor dog by the fire. The big dog hit the ground and immediately struggled violently.

Gu Yi unceremoniously leaned over to clasp its neck, and shouted in a low voice: "Be good, I'll send you back in a while."

He was so powerful that the big dog struggled twice and felt the crisis, and he dared not move again.

Gu Yi turned his head, looking for help at Yuan Luo.

Yuan Luo's mouth twitched, hesitated again and again, and moved the little black dog to the big dog with his feet.

The little black dog gurgled and drank milk, and soon he was full. Then he fell to the ground.

Yuan Luo and Gu Yi breathed a sigh of relief when they were sure that this little thing was asleep.

Gu Yi stood up and said, "Niang, the minister is in the guard to take it back..."

"No! I don't like dogs! It's too noisy."

Yuan Luo refused, categorically. She didn't want to keep a dog. She hated dogs. Moreover, dogs have a keen sense of smell. She also has a small plan to use her body skills to get good feelings. Once bound by this dog, she might show her stuff.

Gu Yi's eyes were a little lost, his thick eyelashes drooped.

He whispered: "Tomorrow, the humble duty will take turns to go home and take a rest. You can take this little thing back. Can you ask your mother to take care of it for a day."

Words of the day. Yuan Luo thought for a while, and reluctantly nodded, "Then you have to pick it up on time."

Only then did Gu Yi show a smile. He bent down deeply and saluted: "The humble position is causing trouble to the empress."

After the puppy was settled, it was not convenient for Gu Yi to stay for a long time. He immediately brought up the hapless dog and left the hall.

Yuan Luo escorted him to the door, but saw a figure hurriedly running over in the distance.

"A Yi, you really came here, it's not good, something happened..." Cai Yunheng didn't finish a sentence, his eyes fell on the big dog that Gu Yi was holding, and he was stuck halfway.

"Where did you get the dog? Didn't you say you don't want to eat dog meat?"

"It's just that I encountered this dog scurrying on the road, so I caught it easily and was about to send it back to the kennel." Gu Yimian didn't change his silly words, "Yun Heng, first tell me what happened?"

Yunheng, this little brother is Cai Yunheng.

Yuan Luo trembled slightly and looked up at this young man who was about the same height as Gu Yi. Although a face is not as exquisite and beautiful as Gu Yi, it is more valiant and sassy. His big clear eyes are shining like stars, and his smile looks cheerful and sunny.

The name of Cai Yunheng, Yuan Luo, is impressive. He is the son of Gu Liangyong. The two teenagers grew up together. On the way to exile, he exchanged identities with Gu Yi and died on behalf of Gu Yi. Therefore, in the original book, the male protagonist bears the name "Cai Yunheng" most of the time.

The memory of the original book was fleeting, Yuan Luo focused on Cai Yunheng's words.

"It was the Auspicious Hall in the east that killed a concubine. A concubine was pushed into the lake and killed. Director Zhang asked us to check it out."

I don't know, I was shocked when I heard it, the Auspicious Hall was just west of Yuxiu Palace, and the two palaces were next to each other. The concubine was pushed into the lake and killed, which reminded her of what happened to her instantly.

She walked out of the shadows and asked, "Which concubine was killed? Can the murderer be caught?"

Cai Yunheng had seen people at the gate of the palace before and thought it was an ordinary court lady. After taking a look at Gu Yi, he replied, "It's Liu Cairen from the Auspicious Hall. The murderer has been caught. Mr. Zhang is about to let us deal with this matter."

Gu Yi didn't dare to delay the official business arrangements. He handed the big dog to a guard who had come with Cai Yunheng, and immediately followed Cai Yunheng out of Yuxiu Palace. However, Yuan Luo paid attention to this matter, and simply turned a veil on from the hall, and followed them to the Auspicious Hall.

On the way, Cai Yunheng and Gu Yi talked about what happened, and Yuan Luo also listened to it, and only then did he know the whole story.

Early in the morning today, a young **** took his waist card and prepared to go out to the palace. The palace lady **** in the Dayu Harem also had several opportunities to go out of the palace a year. The procedures were quite complete, but when he went out for a search, he was stopped. Down.

There is no other reason. There is a mezzanine in the box carried by the little eunuch. There are many gold pearl hairpin rings hidden. Although the little **** named Xiangming said that it was his master, Liu Cairen of the Auspicious Hall asked him to take him out of the palace. Go, but the guard at the gate refused to believe it completely. Detain the person and take them to Auspicious Hall to ask what happened.

Liu Cairen was in poor health these days, and took leave at Kunning Palace. She slept late in the morning, and the little palace lady did not dare to bother. Today the guards escorted tea to inquire about the palace affairs. The little palace lady went in to pass the pass, but found that the bed in the sleeping hall was neat and Liu Cairen was no longer visible.

The womb panicked, and the chief Zhang, who was in charge of the palace affairs of the North Palace, took the **** and the maid to search around, but found Liu Cairen's stiff body from the Hanyue Lake outside the Auspicious Hall.

When Yuan Luo rushed to the Auspicious Hall with Gu Yi and two people, they found that a lot of court ladies and eunuchs had gathered outside the hall to probe their heads. They were all low-ranking palaces nearby, with curiosity on their faces.

Sikonglin's harem is still harmonious as a whole. Without concubines competing for favor, there are fewer incidents. So Liu Cairen is a rare event recently.

Sure enough, just as she guessed.

Lian Yanqiu was guarding Yuan Luo's side, staring at the flames in the disc with extreme surprise.

These days, he repeatedly checked the utensils on the altar and found no doubt. After Yuan Luo heard about it, he went to worship the Temple of Heaven in person and walked around the newly decorated altar.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites flattered, thinking it was just a whim of the imperial concubine.

Yuan Luo checked repeatedly, recalling the description in the book.

In order to welcome the sacrifice at the end of the year, the decoration of the Temple of Heaven was renewed. The ground was painted with silver paint and the surrounding utensils were also extremely complicated.

When Sikongyan was making sacrifices, suddenly thunder and strange noises rang from a distance. As the officials were shocked, they saw the center of the altar, where the emperor was, bursting with light, and it was amazing.

Then came several screams. The guards rushed up and rescued Sikongyan from the fire group. The others were not so lucky, dead and wounded.

After that, there were rumors in the capital, and the power of the East Sea King rose sharply. It was not until the East Sea King conspired that it was revealed that they were the one who set the game. But the book did not elaborate on how the bureau was set up.

Judging from the scene description, Yuan Luo speculated that there was a fire-catching object in the center of the altar. Looking through them one by one, she couldn't find any clues, and finally she locked her suspicious eyes on the ground.

The silver powder smeared on the altar floor was secretly scraped back. A little experiment, sure enough, confirmed the guess.

Look at the appearance of the burning, it should be mixed with chemical substances such as magnesium powder. Once it encounters a fire, it will burn in an emergency, it will form a bright flame.

Although there is no complete chemical system in this era, because of the development of alchemy and other processes, the properties of many chemicals are mastered by craftsmen. The King of East China Sea was able to think of using this method, and it was a fantastic idea.

People of this era have a high respect for the sky thunder, and the emperor was struck by thunder when he sacrificed to the sky, so people must be panicked.

Not to mention, after that, the King of East China Sea spread rumors in the capital, accusing Sikonglin of being unacceptable in inheriting the throne, and even questioning his blood.

Now that Yuan Luo knew about this, it was of course impossible for him to conspiracy to succeed.

***

Finally came the day of worship ceremony.

The weather was dyingly cold. As soon as Yuan Luo walked out of the hall in a cloak of white fox fur, she felt that the biting north wind had penetrated her clothes.

When we arrived at the square in front of Qianyuan Palace, a carriage and a ride were ready.

The first one is the emperor's imperial court, the back is the queen's, and after that is the frame of Yuan Luo's imperial concubine. In this kind of large-scale celebration, the ancestor's etiquette is set, and it is impossible for her to go past Queen Wei.

Empress Wei came a moment earlier than her, wearing a red palace dress with golden mink velvet trim, her face flushed with cold. Seeing Yuan Luo coming over, he gave a blank look and brought the court lady into the frame.

Yuan Luo walked to her frame and paused. One of the six guards standing in front of the car was very familiar.

She hadn't seen Gu Yi for several days, and since she solemnly warned Lian Yanqiu not to be black hands, she arranged for Tian Pan to carefully choose medicinal materials. A few days later, Tian Pan came to report Gu Yi's recovery from his injury.

Considering Donghaiwang's slander, she consciously kept a distance from Gu Yi.

Because she said that Gu Yi had been used as a guard at the Qianqing Palace meeting before, she ordered Lian Yanqiu to follow this statement. Unexpectedly, Lian Yanqiu was so "considerate and considerate" and arranged the person in the guard team.

In trance. Gu Yi suddenly stepped forward, facing Yuan Luo in front of the car door, and fell on one knee.

Yuan Luo was stunned before realizing that she wanted to step on his back into the carriage. The carriage to the Temple of Heaven is a large carriage drawn by eight horses. It is different from ordinary vehicles and has a high chassis.

How about stepping on the hero?

But this situation, if replaced, will be even more noticeable.

Yuan Luo gritted her teeth and stepped forward on Gu Yi's shoulder.
