C122 Snow claw died

Birds die for food and men die for money. Most people in the world do this.

Zheng Qiuqi's waist was indeed not good, so he stayed at the Animal Husbandry Garden. Although he could fish for oil, the place was big, and there was wind permeating everywhere. He was greedy for that snow fox skin. It was a high quality skin, and it was worth at least ten taels of gold. As long as he didn't die, he would be fine.

When he arrived at the Phoenix Cry Palace, Emperor and Empress had just finished his dinner. He reported the news to Head Steward Gao Shenghai, and in his opinion, it was nothing much. When the Head Steward heard him, he might even scold him for making a big fuss out of it.

But no, when Gao Shenghai heard that, he anxiously entered the hall, and after a while, he heard someone call him in.

Zheng Qiuqi suddenly had a bad premonition, but he felt that he was overthinking it. After entering the palace, he kneeled on the floor, with a yellow figure standing high up in the sky.

"Your majesty, this servant deserves to die a thousand times. In the afternoon, that Snow Claw suddenly grew thin and thin, and this servant asked the veterinarian for medicine, but didn't see it improve. This servant was afraid, and only she came to report to the emperor in a hurry."

The emperor sipped on his tea and said nonchalantly, "I'm afraid I've eaten something wrong. You think I'm bored and have to deal with trivial matters?"

Zheng Qiuqian was trembling, but he was only pretending. The emperor was a kind and amiable man, and although his words were full of reproach, he knew it was all right.

"Snow Claw didn't do well. This servant panicked, and entered the palace to beg for forgiveness." He paused for a moment, "Speaking of Snow Claw not eating anything, today Prince Chu brought Princess Chu to take a walk around the garden, Princess Chu wanted to look at the tiger, so I brought his there. She was timid and did not like to look at live chickens, so I got someone to throw beef at his, all six of them eating together.

When the empress heard this, she implicated the Prince Chu as well, and looked at the servants kneeling down below in a probing manner. "Since we can't find anything wrong, then we should go back and investigate.

"Servant," Zheng Qiuqi's back was covered in sweat, "When Princess Chu was carrying food to eat, while the tiger was pouncing on the prey, the wangfei was also eating, this servant seemed to see her throw something into the pond."

The empress's eyes widened. "What do you mean by 'as if', 'there is', 'there is', 'there is', 'there is' no '. What do you want to say to that?"

The Emperor patted her hand. "Empress, don't be angry. Listen to him continue."

Zheng Qiuqi was drenched in cold sweat, he had already reached this point, what should be said must be said, if not everything he had done would go down the drain, "Your majesty, this servant has seen the Princess Chu throw food to him."

"What did you vote for?"

"I didn't see it clearly. It was a small ball, and it just happened to land on the side of the Snow Claw. It lowered its head and ate it."

"So you're saying, Snow Claw ate the food given by the Princess Chu and became weak?"

"..." "Yes."

"Wu, Princess Chu is still just a child, he has a playful nature, and can be mischievous occasionally, but she did not do it on purpose, it's nothing much, just show Snow Claw the medicine he doesn't have, and bring it to the palace. "I will wait and see it in a few days."

"Yes, this servant understands." Zheng Qiuqi heaved a sigh of relief, even if he completed the mission, but Imperial Consort Bai's words were accurate, even if Princess Chu threw in the wrong food, the Emperor would not blame her.

The Queen said, "Princess Chu may be young, but he's also a sensible person. He won't throw things around recklessly, check again carefully and don't wrongly accuse good people."

Zheng Qiuqi obediently complied. Just as he was about to leave, a small yellow door suddenly appeared from outside, he kowtowed far away and said, "Your majesty, there's a message from the Animal Husbandry Garden that Snow Claw died a quarter of an hour ago."

Zheng Qiuqi's legs went soft, and he directly fell to the ground. The emperor was obviously shocked: "What, Snow Claw died? Who came to report the letter, and where was the person? Bring it up. "

He was the second in command of Animal Husbandry Garden, and also an internal official called Ma Rui. He plopped to his knees, and with a teary face and a weeping voice, he said, "Your majesty, this servant deserves to die a thousand times for his crimes. I don't know which heartless person threw poison in Snow Claw, Snow Claw is dead!"

The empress was also surprised. "Didn't you say it was a play? How did you get shot?"

"Yes, I came here in the afternoon and couldn't get any results even after feeding the medicine, but in the evening, it became even worse. The head steward wasn't here, and I didn't know what to do, and just as I was about to go to the palace to invite the head steward back, Snow Claw's eyelids suddenly rolled up and he fainted. He looked at the vet and said that he had lost all his strength, but he died too strangely. "This servant was so scared that he didn't dare delay and immediately came to report to the emperor."

Emperor Long Yan was furious and slapped the table, "Who dares to poison my Animal Husbandry Garden? Someone, the President of the Punishment Department and the Marble Temple Elder, has come to the palace. "

"Your majesty, please calm your anger. Now that Snow Claw is dead, your concubine knows that Your Majesty is feeling terrible inside. Raising yourself like a tiger cub is like raising your own son, but this matter involves the Prince Chu and the wangfei.

In the end, the emperor was the one who calmed down after getting angry. "Prince Chu Xuan and Princess Chu Xuan have entered the palace."

"All of you, leave first. I'll have a few words with the emperor." The empress chased them out, looking worriedly at the emperor. "The emperor has announced that Prince Chu and his wife have entered the palace, what should we say? If it was cast by the Princess Chu, like the emperor said, she's still a child, and she can be mischievous occasionally. Your majesty, don't forget, Princess Chu is not only the direct consort of the Prince Chu, he is also the Fifth Miss of the Prime Minister Bai's Mansion. If it wasn't Princess Chu, the Emperor would have called them in to interrogate them.

The emperor was sitting upright with his hands on his knees. He looked at the copper cauldron quietly and asked, "What does the empress think?"

Your Majesty, you and Prince Chu are brothers, you are also the sovereign and subject of our nation. In these few years, the Prince Chu fought in wars in the east, pacified the rebellion, expanded the territory, and established brilliant military exploits. How can a tiger compare with them? "The Emperor thought back to that year. If it wasn't for Prince Chu saving our leader, the rebel army would have arrived at the city gates …"

"Alright," The emperor waved his hand and smiled wryly, "If I didn't know of the Empress's feelings for me, I would have suspected that the Empress and Prince Chu had something to say to each other. I would always speak up for him."

The empress was slightly angered. "How can the emperor joke like this? Your concubine's sincerity can be seen by the sun and moon."

"Don't be angry empress, I said the wrong thing," the emperor laughed along with her, "Your thoughts are too serious, how could I blame the Princess Chu for a tiger? I don't even care about the buddhist side, her husband is a famous Warlord, even I can't afford to offend him!"

When the Emperor and Empress reached an agreement, the matter finally came to an end. He could only bear it on Zheng Qiuqi and lose his life for the sake of a Snow Fox skin.
