The ghost mastiff is a subspecies of the Tibetan mastiff, mostly infected with diseases and very unstable tempers, and is often domesticated by humans to fight dogs. The magnates of the Great Yan Kingdom had a soft spot for fighting dogs and often gathered together to watch, and these fighting dogs in the palace were used to perform at large palace banquets. In order to make the scene more intense and bloody, the eunuchs of the cat and dog workshop would often starve them for more than ten days, and then release the death row prisoners in the prison for them to chase and bite, and the human flesh after biting to death naturally became dog food.

The ghost mastiff of the Eighth Emperor was five years old, and it could be said that there were countless people who had eaten it, so he was so angry that he was even terrified when he saw the evil ghost. Youshu hid in the deepest part of the cave, watching in horror as the claws of the ghost mastiff kept attacking him, but he missed half an inch each time. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that the dog had begun to dig the ground, trying to make the hole a little bigger.

When he was helpless, the Seventh Prince was already wide-eyed, and kept yelling, "Eighth Prince, lock up your dog!" If he is injured Youshu, this palace is not finished with you! ”

The Eighth Prince stood under the porch, staring at him with mocking and vicious eyes.

The Seventh Prince had to look at the rest of the palace people, and ordered hoarsely, "Go and catch the dog, go quickly!" ”

Xiao Shunzi and the little eunuch who had just arrived were about to move, but they were pressed on the shoulders by the two big palace maids, one left and one right, and warned in a low voice, "In this Shuangxue Palace, who dares to move without the order of His Royal Highness?" Don't you want to live? ”

The new little eunuch is sixteen years old, and he looks very thin, but his eyes are bright, and he is also very stable, so he should be a practitioner. He looked at the Eighth Prince, who looked arrogant and cold, and then at the Seventh Prince, who was helpless, with a complicated look in his eyes. No wonder the emperor sent him over, no wonder he was instructed to report the situation in the Shuangxue Palace and Ganquan Palace from time to time before leaving, and to protect the Seven Princes, it turned out to be the case. He tried to break free from the suppression of the palace maid, but was detained by the two eunuchs, so he had to whisper, "But the Seventh Highness is also the master!" ”

"Can't die him." The Grand Palace's answer was chilling.

The ghost mastiff is still digging a pit, and the Seventh Prince knows that if it is delayed any longer, there will be only one death. Without the help of the palace people, he actually supported his body, threw himself forward, and then grabbed the turf and stones with both hands, and crawled forward little by little. His eyes were red, his teeth were clenched, his fingertips were grinding out of the rough ground, and he was bloody, but he still moved stubbornly and firmly. There had never been a moment when he hated himself so much for his incompetence, and he would rather abandon his broken body than turn into a ghost and pounce on the mastiff.

He wants to save Youshu, even if he dies! This belief made his mind extremely clear, and he suddenly remembered that a few days ago he heard shouts from time to time in the courtyard of the eighth child, as if it was a "demon king" or something. Yes, Demon King, this ghost mastiff should be called the Demon King.

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

"Your Highness!" Xiao Shunzi and the new eunuch exclaimed in unison, but they were pressed back again. In the panic, Concubine Hui, who heard the movement, walked slowly from the other side of the verandah, which made the two overjoyed and immediately shouted for help. But the result was unexpected, Concubine Hui turned a blind eye to this, walked to the side of the Eighth Prince and stood still, looking at it from afar with an unpredictable gaze, and there was no intention of stepping forward to stop it.

How so? The little eunuch was horrified, and 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, it is incumbent on him to expose his identity, and he was about to shake away the two palace maids who suppressed him, but he saw that the puppy hiding in the hole actually ran out, chased after the ghost mastiff and bit its tail, attracting its attention back.

"Youshu, you run, leave me alone!" The Seven Princes' hearts were about to break, and their dirty cheeks were washed out of two marks by tears, looking wolf and helpless.

How can Youshu leave his master alone? After biting the ghost mastiff, he stood not far away and barked at it. The ghost mastiff looked left and right, and finally succumbed to the instinct to kill the prisoner, and pounced on the Seven Princes lying on the ground. Youshu hurriedly chased after it, biting its tail, even if it was thrown out of place, it refused to let go, and finally made it change direction and chase its tail to kill.

The Seven Princes were so angry that they slapped the ground and shouted, "Come bite me, come on!" ”

Seeing this scene, the Eighth Prince smiled heartily, but Concubine Hui spoke, "Enough, don't make trouble." ”

The palace people who watched coldly seemed to have lifted the immobilization technique, and quickly moved, some went to lead the dog, some went to help the Seventh Prince, and some cleaned up the blood stains and broken nails on the lawn. In a moment, all traces of messiness vanished, as if nothing had happened before.

yes, that's it, you can watch him die, it's not a big deal. When Concubine Hui told herself, her expression became more and more cold. She pointed to the eunuch who trained the dog, and said lightly, "This slave was derelict in his duties, and he forgot to lock the iron cage, so that the ghost mastiff ran out and injured the seventh child, it is really an unforgivable sin, so immediately pull it out and kill it with a cane!" Whoever chews his tongue outside on the day will end up like him. ”

The queen has a golden seal in her hand, and the six palaces are all under control, she said that this is black, no one dares to say that it is white, she says that this is a deer, no one dares to say that it is a horse, and the right is so charming.

The palace people under the steps bowed in unison and whispered promises. The new little eunuch also fell to the ground to hide his shocked expression. It turned out that the legend cared for His Royal Highness the Seventh, and even said that Concubine Hui, who was willing to reduce her life span for ten years in order to cure His Royal Highness's legs, actually had such a femme fatale. Isn't the Seventh Highness her son?

The Seventh Prince didn't care about Concubine Hui's ignorance of him at all, so he just hugged Youshu who staggered over into his arms, and while caressing the fur around its wound with his trembling fingertips, he choked up and reprimanded, "Idiot! I told you to run, you ran farther, what to do back? ”

If I don't come back, what will you do? Youshu didn't dislike the mess, and carefully licked his bloody fingertips with the tip of her tongue, and many tears fell out of her eyes in the blink of an eye.

The two of the main pets hugged each other and cried silently, their hearts were full of fear and fear, but they were even more hateful. The Seven Princes unbuttoned their clothes, covered the puppy tightly, and kept kissing the top of its hair, cherishing it like a lost treasure. Feeling the puppy's slightly trembling body, his heart also trembled, twitched, and ached. He looked at the Eighth Prince with red eyes, and said in a dumb voice, "Ji Yongye, this palace will definitely not let you go!" "Between you and me, there will never be death!

The Eighth Prince had never seen Lao Qi's ruthless side, and he couldn't help but be suppressed by the cold aura he released. But soon, he laughed disappreciatively, "Oh, is it? Hongu is waiting for you. The words looked at his unconscious legs, and his eyes were full of contempt and mockery.

The Seventh Prince beckoned to Xiao Shunzi, "Push the palace back," and pointed to the new little eunuch, "You, immediately go to the Tai Hospital to find the Tai Doctor." ”

The two of them received orders together, one pushed people back to the palace, and the other called the imperial doctor and went to the Qianqing Palace under the pretext of going to the toilet.

The imperial doctor who specializes in treating Lao Qi has long been bought by Concubine Hui, and even Emperor Jing's imperial doctor is also from the Ouyang family, so she is not worried about the other party's mouths and tongues, so she just called Lao Ba to the palace and taught him a hard lesson, but it was not because he killed his brother, but because his behavior was too reckless.

"Someone will do this kind of thing, so why get your hands dirty? 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 arouse the suspicion of your father. How do you not use your brain? Concubine Hui poked her son's forehead repeatedly.

"Mother, isn't your son impulsive. Later, Erchen also figured it out, and only planned to scare him. Mother, the son knows that he is wrong, it is still the best mother concubine, and he will help the son to clean up any mess, if there is no mother concubine, what should the son do. The eighth prince immediately put his arm around her, coquettish and pretending to be stupid. He knew that what the concubine liked most was his closeness and dependence on her, which was the real reason why he was better than the seventh child.

In the Shuangxue Palace, the hands of the Seven Princes had been bandaged, and the imperial doctor was cutting off the hair on Youshu's body to clean his wounds.

"You tap, don't hurt him!" The Seven Princes gently held Youshu's front paws, staring at the Imperial Doctor's movements for a moment.

"Didn't you understand when this palace told you to tap it? Youshu is shaking, he hurts! "He was so hot-tempered that if you shuddered, one of his nerves would break, and if it weren't for the disability of both legs, he would have kicked the quack out long ago.

The imperial doctor hurriedly knelt down and confessed, arguing that he could only help people see a doctor, and did not know how to treat cats and dogs.

The Seventh Prince stared at him with a cold gaze, neither paying attention to nor shouting, and after a long time, he carefully held Youshu and pressed it to his cheek, but with his other hand, he slammed the table and roared in a low voice, "Get out!" Roll away from the palace, and never appear in the Shuangxue Hall again! ”

Master, you're hurt! Youshu, whose fluff was cut to pieces, hurriedly struggled to get up, wanting to pounce and look at his bleeding fist. The Seventh Prince immediately hid his hand in his sleeve and comforted him in a soft voice, "I'm fine, don't worry." At the end, Xiao Shunzi, who was eager to try, ordered, "You come to treat Youshu's injuries." You should have studied? "He couldn't trust anyone in the Tai Hospital or the Twin Snow Palace, and now he had to rely on the new one.

"Your Highness, the minions are the best at treating kittens and dogs. Youshu looked at the wolf bèi, but it was only a flesh wound, and it was quickly healed after smearing the medicine. Xiao Shunzi took over Youshu as she spoke, and treated the wound in a slippery manner.

When the Seventh Prince saw that he was really capable, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his face was full of tenderness, but countless bloody and cruel thoughts flashed in his heart. He had never been so frustrated, helpless, angry, and for a moment, he even had the heart to kill. When the power is in his hands in the future, even if he picks Ji Yongye's skin and pulls his tendons, it will be difficult to eliminate his hatred today.

After thinking about it, the palace maid came in with a bowl of medicine, as if nothing happened, "Your Highness, it's time to drink medicine." ”

The Seventh Prince said lightly, "Put it there first, and bring the horsewhip from the palace." ”

The palace maid put down the medicine bowl and wondered, "What do you want the whip for?" But he went into the inner chamber and fetched the whip.

"Get on your knees." The Seventh Prince took the whip and his voice turned cold.

The palace maid knew that he wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, and she couldn't help but show a resentful look.

"You are a slave of this palace, this palace asks you to kneel, you have to kneel, if you are not happy, this palace will go back to your father and ask him to help you change an errand."

The palace maid was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down, His Royal Highness the Seventh Heart Dao has always been cowardly, and his temper is also very gentle, even if he teaches people, he will only whip a few whips, and it is not a big deal. She almost forgot that although Concubine Hui held the golden seal, she still had Emperor Jing on her head, and Emperor Jing was the master of the Great Yan Kingdom and the reliance of His Royal Highnesses. But so what? He never imagined that he would die soon, right?

Thinking of this, the palace maid, who had never looked at the Seventh Prince in her eyes, found a trace of balance and lowered her head slightly to hide her disdainful expression. After a while, she heard the Seventh Prince say slowly, "This palace is not a cruel person, and it will not kill anyone for no reason, so I will give you a whip today, so as to teach you to remember who is your real master, and who can control your life and death." ”

It's just a whip, and it's really a woman's kindness! The palace maid secretly contemptuously, and her heart was also relieved, but unexpectedly, the Seventh Prince raised his hand and whipped her face fiercely, and the barbed whip body cut off a layer of her forehead, left eye, nose bridge, lips, and the flesh of her jaw, forming a deep wound that could be seen and the face was cut obliquely. The skin of the eyelids was already the lightest and most fragile, but at this time it had all been cut open, revealing a blood-drenched eyeball, and the palace maid covered her eyes that were about to fall off and screamed, her heart was full of disbelief and horror.

So is the so-called kindness of a woman. His whip directly ruined the palace maid's eyesight, appearance, and future. Even if Concubine Hui relies on her again, when the other party knows that she has too many secrets and has no use value, she will definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Where are the Seven Princes cowardly? Where is mild? He also has a violent and vicious side, and he has the means to kill people without seeing blood, but he has not shown it. At this moment, the palace maid realized that she had despised the Seventh Highness too much, and it was too late to ask for mercy, as long as she was carried out of the Shuangxue Palace, she would only die.

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

The Seventh Prince brushed off the medicine bowl on the table and ordered, "If you want to kneel, kneel in front of the palace." Seeing that Youshu was frightened by the sound of shattering, he hurriedly rubbed his furry head.

With the palace maid as a lesson from the past, everyone did not dare to disobey the order, moved to the front one by one, and knelt on the broken porcelain piece in pain. The hall resounded with the sound of gasping one after another, and the smell of medicine and blood fused to form an atmosphere that made people feel drowsy and depressing.

Xiao Shunzi had already bandaged Youshu and carefully put it into the arms of His Royal Highness the Seventh. A man and a dog immediately hugged each other, you licked my lips, I kissed the tip of your nose, and there were tears in your eyes. This scene made Xiao Shunzi have mixed feelings, and it also made Emperor Jing, who hurriedly walked into the main hall, red-eyed.

The spy was really good at doing things, and he had already reported Fang Cai's details in detail, along with the expressions and movements of everyone. Emperor Jing has been in a high position for a long time, and he has seen many ghost tricks, and he soon understood why Concubine Hui and Lao Ba treated Lao Qi like this, and even more doubted what happened back then.

He was originally furious, but after seeing the tragic situation of his son and puppy, he suddenly became extremely depressed. In vain, he claimed to be a loving father, but he always ignored the situation of the seventh child. Where is he the relatives of Concubine Hui and Lao Ba? It's their stumbling block. In this world, they are the ones who want Lao Qi to die quickly.

No wonder Lao Qi treats a dog as his life-root, it's because he has already noticed it, right? The younger brother is not the younger brother, the mother is not the mother concubine, they are all his enemies, they take care of them in every way on the surface, but they are cold and even murderous behind the scenes, except for the puppy, he can't even get a little warmth and comfort. How did he come back to life all these years? How do you be scared and walk on thin ice?

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's heart was wrenched, and he walked over quickly and hugged his son into his arms.

"Father, don't press Youshu!" The Seven Princes immediately blocked with their hands.

"I'm sorry, my father didn't pay attention." Emperor Jing hurriedly retreated, wanting to press and rub the puppy's head, but was blocked by his son, and the anger and worry in his heart could not be replaced by crying and laughing. But he could understand his son's strong desire to protect. While everyone was watching his life and death coldly, only this little dog rushed forward regardless of the danger, it was only his pet, and the person kneeling here was his minion.

At the end of the day, these minions are not even as good as dogs, so what is the use of coming? Emperor Jing waved his hand lightly, "No need to kneel, pull out all of them and kill them!" ”

After listening to the first half of the sentence, everyone was about to show a happy look, but the next moment they all went limp. At this moment, Concubine Hui and the Eighth Prince rushed over when they heard the news, and they wanted to kneel down to explain, but they were interrupted by Emperor Jing in a deep voice, "Lao Qizi has been taken away, his eight characters are too weak, and you and Lao Bazi are too hard, sooner or later they will rush at him." ”

This is just a high-sounding excuse, and when Concubine Hui saw the little eunuch standing behind the emperor, she understood everything. Her face turned pale in an instant, and she hardly dared to think about what the emperor would think of this. What Lao Ba did today was clearly trying to kill Lao Qi and the dog. The emperor is also the victor who came out of the palace turmoil, will he not be able to guess the inside story? And her motherly demeanor must have been exposed, right?

Only then did Concubine Hui realize that even if she got the queen's golden seal, she was not the master of the harem, and the real master had always been the emperor. In this world, there is nothing he can't find out, only what he doesn't want or even disdain to know.

The Eighth Emperor also panicked, knelt down with a thud, and said in a trembling voice, "Father, every Qiē is a misunderstanding." It was the damn minion who didn't take a good look at the dog and told it to run out......"

Emperor Jing interrupted him, "What about the dog?" ”

The guards who stood on either side immediately went to fetch the dogs, not knowing that an old ghost had passed by them.

"Little Housheng, how are you?" He floated to the side of the Seven Princes and carefully examined Youshu, who was wrapped in a ball. Youshu nestled in the palm of his master's palm, licked his fingertips for a while, and hugged his thumb with his fat short front paws to gain a sense of security.

The Seventh Prince understood that he still had palpitations, so he picked him up and put it on his lips to kiss him, and said in a low voice, "Do you hear it, you Shu, we don't have to worry about it in the future." "But the price to pay for this is too great. He really wanted to provoke the eighth child and make him do irrational things, but he would never risk Youshu. If he could, he hated to transfer all Youshu's wounds to himself, and he couldn't forgive Concubine Hui and Lao Ba for what they did. From now on, they are no longer his relatives, but undying enemies.

Youshu was also crazy with hatred, humming and chirping to comfort the master, while communicating with the old ghost with his mind, "I'm fine." Are you ready for the antidote? ”

"Where can it? The medicinal materials needed for the antidote, the imperial pharmacy in the palace is not complete, I have asked the little ghost to go to the capital to find it, and there are already eyebrows, but I have to wait a few days. I brought the powder to save you, but I didn't expect to be a step late. ”

"What powder?"

"The medicinal powder that can lure away the ghost mastiff will be sprinkled on the Eighth Prince for safekeeping, so that he can do it for himself."

"Then sprinkle it on Emperor Jing."

The old ghost was silent for a moment before saying, "Count you ruthless!" ”

After a while, a guard brought up the ghost mastiff in an iron cage. The ghost mastiff saw the Eighth Prince and Concubine Hui swinging their tails again and again, but when they saw Emperor Jing on the top, they suddenly barked wildly, their front paws kept scratching the door, and their fangs gnawed at the copper lock, making a creepy creaking sound. The copper lock soon appeared a dent, and it was not difficult to imagine what the situation would be like when this pair of minions fell on Emperor Jing.

Emperor Jing was silent for a long time before he said, "Eighth child, you are very well tamed by this dog, except for you and Concubine Hui, you don't recognize anyone, and even I want to bite it to death." ”

Who dares to take the crime of killing the king? The Eighth Prince and Concubine Hui were so frightened that they kowtowed and confessed. Emperor Jing didn't want to deal with the two anymore, so he waved at the guards and said, "Kill it." In the future, fighting dogs are no longer allowed in the palace. ”

The guard took the order, drew his saber from his waist and cut off the head of the barking mastiff. Concubine Hui and the Eighth Prince, who were splashed with blood, screamed, and in addition to horror in their eyes, there was also a deeply hidden despair. It's over, the emperor has begun to suspect them, and according to his suspicious nature, he will definitely conduct a thorough investigation of the former Yiqiē.

Evidence, has the evidence been wiped clean? Concubine Hui tried her best to think about it, but she heard the emperor say, "The queen has recovered from her illness, return the phoenix seal." The words fell and went to push the seventh prince in person, and said softly, "From now on, the seventh will live in Guangling Palace, and I will take care of it nearby." ”

Because there is no evidence, and Ouyang Tao has a heavy army, he can't deal with Concubine Hui and Lao Ba for the time being, so he has to treat it as if he hasn't noticed it yet, and see if they will mess up. Emperor Jing, who came step by step from the power dump, can best understand Lao Qi's hesitation and helplessness, he is talented but ill-fated, and was sacrificed by his mother as an abandoned son when he was ignorant, and he didn't even have the right to choose. Except for his father and the puppy in his arms, he can be said to be helpless.

Looking down at his son, who was holding a puppy like a fragile object, Emperor Jing's heart was full of pity, and he couldn't help but pat the top of his hair, and sighed, "Long night, my father is ashamed of you." ”

The Seventh Prince hurriedly shook his head and said sincerely, "The father and emperor saved his sons from fire and water, and there is no place to be sorry for his sons. Erchen and Youshu will no longer have to be afraid in the future. ”

When Emperor Jing heard this, his heart became more and more uncomfortable. And Concubine Hui, who kept kowtowing, suddenly realized: Lao Qi had already noticed her plan, and took advantage of the situation to put a hidden stake of the Qianqing Palace beside her. Today's qiē was all designed by him, and maybe even the reckless behavior of the eighth child was provoked by him. is worthy of the Ji family's species, the city is really deep enough, I knew it was like this, I should have strangled him to death when I gave birth!

Concubine Hui regretted it and secretly blamed herself for not being ruthless enough, but she didn't know that her life and that of Lao Ba were targeted by a dog.
