Such an incident happened at Han Xianzong's birthday banquet, and it frightened so many noble people. One can imagine how bad this incident was.
The other ministers had already been led by the palace servants to go to the side rooms to rest and wait for the dinner. Only a few veteran ministers were worried about this matter and did not leave with them. Instead, they stayed here to watch the progress of the matter.
He resolutely sent someone to bring the eunuch in charge of the dog breeding place and asked him to identify the dog face to face.
The eunuch in charge of the dog breeding department had a face as bright as gold, and he was scared out of his wits on the way here.
How could he, a managerial eunuch who raises dogs, know that he would be involved in such a big thing?
After being brought up by the guards, he knelt on the ground and cried:
"Your Majesty, this old slave is wronged! This old slave doesn't know anything about this matter. Even if I borrow ten of my courage, I don't dare to do anything to you. Your Majesty, please be aware of this!"
The words were spoken in a cadence, mixed with cries, and his voice was strange, as if he was speaking in a hoarse voice.
Not to mention Han Xianzong, who was already irritable, even the bystanders standing next to him couldn't help but frown.
"Who is talking to you about this?" Han Xianzong scolded him: "Let me ask you, do you recognize this dog?" As he spoke, he raised his chin to show him the dog that was placed on the ground.
Of course he knew that the dog matter had nothing to do with the old eunuch. After all, he was not so powerful as to dare to set his sights on his master.
The position of manager of the Dog Breeding Department is suitable for hanging around and waiting for death. As expected, this old eunuch has been in this position for half his life, and there is no way he can destroy the Great Wall.
The old eunuch did not dare to delay and carefully raised his head to look at the dog. At this sight, he frowned and looked carefully.
"How is it?" Han Xianzong saw that he looked wrong and immediately asked: "But did you find anything?"
"Back to Your Majesty," the old eunuch certainly didn't dare to hide anything from Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty. He considered his words in his mind before saying:
"Old slave recognizes this dog as a pet dog he used to raise, but..."
"But what?" Han Xianzong didn't like his intermittent appearance, and his tone was a little unhappy: "If you have anything to say, you can finish it all at once. Do you still want me to ask you to say it?"
"I don't dare!" How dare the old eunuch agree to such words? His face was suddenly full of panic, "But this dog was taken away by a lady a few days ago. The old slave remembers that she took two of them together, one was white, and this is the one."
"Do you remember who it is?" When she heard that she was taken away by a certain concubine, the Queen Mother's eyes turned sharp and she hurriedly asked.
The concubines present were all looking here, waiting for the old eunuch to speak.
In this way, the identity of this dog has been explained. As long as the person who took it can be found, this matter is almost close to the truth.
"This..." The old eunuch started to speak, but before he could say much, he was interrupted by a voice:
"This is my concubine." Concubine Jin went out to salute: "Your Majesty, Rou'er saw that Princess Xiangjia's dog was really cute, and she wanted to get it. I love my daughter very much, so I took Rou'er to the dog breeding place. .”
"It turned out that Rou'er liked both dogs, so I brought two of them back at once. But this yellow dog had a special situation, and it was no longer my concubine who raised it."
Sumire's concubine spoke continuously and clearly explained the ins and outs of the matter.
However, her last sentence caused misunderstanding. Concubine De stood there for a long time, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but ask:
"My concubine Jin, do you mean that you abandoned this yellow dog?"
Following Concubine De's words, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty turned their attention to Concubine Sumire.
Somewhere in the palace, dogs were taken away from the breeding places. Is it possible that they just throw them around if they don’t want them?
It would be better to just instruct the servants to send the dog back to the dog breeding place!
"Empress De Fei misunderstood." Concubine Jin looked up at Han Xianzong and the Queen Mother in a panic: "No, it's the fourth princess who likes this dog. I thought Rou'er couldn't take care of two dogs, so she simply I gave this one to the fourth princess.”
The fourth princess? Isn’t that Rong Jieyu?
Rong Jieyu happened to be here as well. Everyone's eyes turned back and soon settled on Rong Jieyu, who looked pale.
From the moment the eunuch in charge of the dog breeding department was brought in, Rong Jieyu knew that it was only a matter of time before she was found out.
It would be fine if the honeypot didn't cause any trouble, but it bit Princess Fukang's son, and even almost bit Princess Xiangjia, disrupting Han Xianzong's birthday party...
From the time these things happened to now, Rong Jieyu has been in a state of panic, thinking deeply about it several times.
She was extremely tormented in her heart. When she saw His Majesty and others focused their attention on her, her inner panic reached its peak, and her legs weakened and she knelt on the ground.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother. I clearly asked someone to tie up this evil dog. I didn't know when it ran out, and even committed such a fatal mistake..."
As he spoke, tears already fell from his eyes, and the pear blossoms in the rain were pitiful.
But when something like this happened, no one was in the mood to appreciate it.
The culprit was finally found. The Queen Mother was so angry that she didn't even care about her body. She stepped forward and slapped Rong Jieyu twice with her bow left and right.
"Do you know how much trouble you have caused? Not to mention that today is the emperor's birthday and it was all ruined by you. Just say that you have harmed the Ai family's grandson like this. There is nothing you can do to atone for your sin!"
She hit her so hard that Rong Jieyu's cheek soon became swollen. Listening to the Queen Mother's rebuke, she did not dare to speak, so she could only cover her face and beg for mercy.
Gu Yue was frightened when she saw her mother kneeling down and being beaten in public. She opened her mouth wide and started crying.
"Carry the fourth princess down." Han Xianzong thought that she was young and couldn't let her watch this, so he ordered the wet nurse to carry the fourth princess down.
Regarding the Empress Dowager slapping Rong Jieyu in public, Han Xianzong did not express any objection at all, which shows his position.
As the fourth princess was carried away, her cries became more and more distant.
Rong Jieyu felt that she was alone and helpless, and was thinking of countermeasures in her mind.
You can't just sit back and wait for death, otherwise there will definitely be a huge punishment waiting for you.
"It's not good, it's not good!" At this moment, the door of the side room was pushed open, and the maid next to Princess Fukang ran out in a hurry:
"The second young master vomited black blood. The imperial doctor said that the dog was poisoned. Please save our young master!"
Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty immediately asked Laifu to call all the imperial doctors from Jiangtai Hospital for consultation.
Laifu knew that the situation was urgent and did not dare to delay, so he ran away quickly.
As the most popular person around the emperor, it was indeed rare for him to be in such a panic.
Everyone has different expressions.
"Ah?" When Gu Xuan heard that the dog was poisoned, she was dumbfounded for a moment and raised her hand.
