Chapter 553
Before that, let the wolfdog smell the palace servants around the queen, and even Eunuch Huang, who was beside the emperor, took the initiative to let the wolfdog smell it.

Although everyone was terrified, the process went smoothly.

After finding nothing unusual, the wolfhound walked to the square.A pair of cold eyes swept across the crowd in the square, making everyone terrified.

The dog-leader turned back and said to the emperor: "This dog mainly kills its prey. If it smells the same kind of incense as that of Princess Yin Wu, it will definitely regard the person who carries the incense as its prey. May attack prey."

The emperor heard the words and said: "If it really smells it, then there is nothing to say. This person must have ulterior motives, and he will die without guilt! Let him smell it."

After getting the emperor's order, the man led the big wolf dog and walked towards the row of court ladies and eunuchs.

I heard that Princess Yin Wu almost had her throat bitten by a thin and weak hound last time.If such a big ferocious dog pounced on it, it would be killed in one blow, how many people would be able to resist...

As a result, the maid's legs were weak, the eunuch was sweating coldly, and the scene was full of sadness.

Some were even timid, before the wolfdog approached, the maid was already crying.

The person who led the dog said to them: "As long as there is no ghost in your heart, you don't have to be afraid. Now this dog only recognizes those who have been exposed to Seven Sun Incense. If it has not been exposed, it will not attack at will."

This sounds rather unconvincing.However, after inspecting several rows of court ladies and eunuchs, there was no sign of it attacking indiscriminately, so everyone gradually calmed down and tried their best to cooperate with the inspection.

When the big wolfdogs checked in turn, the emperor and everyone watched the expressions of the maids and eunuchs at a glance.

There was another row of eunuchs, and the eunuch standing at the back was already wet with cold sweat.

The big wolfdog walked up to the eunuch and smelled it, and the eunuch hid back.The dog itself is very sensitive to changes in people. It can sense the difference in people's emotions, so if it moves forward, the eunuch can't help but hide back.

The emperor looked a little bit downhearted at first, but seeing this situation, he immediately woke up.

The queen and concubines also noticed something was wrong.

The aura of the big wolf dog was really frightening. In the end, the eunuch was so frightened that he fell back to the ground.

He had been nervous when the big wolfdog checked other people before, and that nerve had been stretched to the limit by now, so his instinctive reaction after he fell was to get up in a hurry and run!
Seeing this, the big wolfhound inspired its hound nature, growled lowly and was about to chase, but fortunately, the person who led it caught it in time.

The emperor immediately ordered: "Catch him!"

Soon, the eunuch was arrested by the guards and held down on the ground.

The emperor said solemnly: "Come here, send this slave to the Inner Court Division for a proper trial!"

So many people witnessed it, if the eunuch hadn't had a ghost, the big wolf dog would have stayed with him?And seeing how guilty he was, he got up and ran, there is no doubt that he was the murderer.

With this, Princess Yin Wu's suspicions were completely clarified.

The emperor and the empress returned to the hall. The emperor thought of the reaction of the big wolf dog smelling the incense pills in Meng Yan's hand, and also remembered the scene of the hunting dog attacking people at the winter ceremony, and asked Meng Yan, "Princess Yin Wu's Is Qi Rixiang so cute to dogs?"

Meng Yan laughed nonchalantly when she heard the words.

Even the Queen twisted her handkerchief over her lips and smiled.

Seeing this, the emperor changed his mind and said with a smile: "Is there anything else that I don't know about?"

The queen said: "The emperor came late, so he didn't know what the concubine was discussing with Princess Yin Wu. There is no such thing as seven-day incense. The reason why the dog reacted like that just now is because Princess Yin Wu was holding a grain of sauce Meatballs, not fragrant balls."

The emperor was very interested: "Oh? So that dog is purely slander?"

Meng Yan said: "This is also to scare the murderer. I didn't explain to the emperor for a while, please forgive me."

She wasn't bullying the emperor, because even if she didn't explain to the emperor for a while, she had spoken to the empress beforehand, and the emperor was simply late.

Meng Yan sighed again with lingering fear, "But that dog is really fierce and scary..."

The emperor came to his senses, this was simply a play, used to force the murderer to mess up.

The murderer knew he was the only one who had touched the cloak, and if the dogs smelled it he would be exposed.Of course, he was more afraid of being killed by the dog on the spot, so when he was in a hurry, he would naturally show a different reaction from others.

The emperor laughed loudly, pointed at Meng Yan, and said, "Prince Yin Wu, your concubine has a lot of tricks."

Yin Heng said: "She will be a little clever."

Meng Yan said: "I'm not afraid of the emperor's jokes, that's because I was terribly scared at the winter welcoming ceremony last time, so I got the inspiration from it."

Emperor Longxin said happily: "No matter what, Princess Yin Wu has made a contribution, reward."

Afterwards, Meng Yan heard that the queen mother woke up in the morning, and since she was here, she stopped by to check on the queen mother's injuries before leaving the palace.

Otherwise, it would be too unkind for her to ignore her.

With the Queen's consent, Meng Yan came out from the palace, accompanied by Concubine Xiao, and went to the Queen Mother's Palace together.

Yin Heng was naturally called by the emperor to go to the imperial study and play two more games of chess.

In the evening, the sky is blue, and Xiao Han's cage is wide.

The clouds above the head are heavy, as if the early twilight is slowly covering up.

On the way to the harem, Meng Yan and Concubine Xiao looked up, and saw that the towering Buddha building in the past was full of scars and crumbling.

Although the upper floor was not substantially damaged by the fire, it was also scorched black by the thick smoke, and it was no longer half as bright as it used to be.

Concubine Xiao said: "The Buddhist hall was burned so badly that it might not be able to support it and collapse at some point. The emperor ordered the Buddhist building to be demolished early this morning, so as not to hurt innocent people when it really collapses."

Meng Yan nodded and said, "It's really dangerous to look at it like this."

After a while, she said again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for testifying for me earlier."

Concubine Xiao said: "What I did was nothing more than a small trick. The one who can really block the population is what the princess did today. It is me who should thank me. The princess didn't come to my place that night, she really meant it. "

Speaking of this, Concubine Xiao couldn't help looking at Meng Yan, and said: "Speaking of which, the concubine finally found the murderer, but she doesn't seem to plan to pursue the murderer?"

Anyone who thinks about it will know, how can an eunuch do such a thing if there is no one behind him?

Meng Yan smiled nonchalantly, raised her eyebrows and said, "The Emperor ordered the Inner Court to try this matter instead of the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment. Do you think it is necessary to pursue it?"

Although the court lady and eunuch committed the crime, she should have been sent to the Inner Court Division.But this case was initially pushed to the head of Princess Yinwu, and if it was taken seriously, it could be handed over to Dali Temple.
