Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Chapter 144 Dealing with Snowball

"Woof woof, woof woof!" Snowball kept shouting.

Li Yu hurriedly pressed with his hand, forcing the snow-white dog's head that was sticking out of the basket back into the basket.

"Guard Soran." He then stuffed the basket into the hands of the guard in front of him, "The emperor has ordered you to deal with the dog."

Li Yu looked at the snowballs in the basket with reluctance. Although a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, he finally turned around and left resolutely.

After watching Li Yu leave, Hailancha couldn't help but spit bitterly: "Humph! What emperor's order? It's probably your own idea. You're afraid that Concubine Gao will come after you in the future, so you push this troublesome matter to me!"

He glared in the direction where Li Yu left, his heart filled with resentment that was difficult to calm down.

But in front of the eunuch Li Yu, he didn't dare to utter a single complaint, but as soon as Li Yu left, he began to chatter incessantly.

"Guardian of Soran."

Hailancha was startled: "Who? Who is eavesdropping on me?"

He looked around extremely vigilantly, and his eyes finally fixed on a corner not far away.

Wei Yingluo, who turned around the corner, was slightly startled when she heard his words: "I just arrived. What did you say just now?"

She had a faint smile on her face and didn't look abnormal.

Hailancha finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed dryly twice: "Nothing...nothing, I was just mumbling to myself."

Wei Yingluo nodded, walked straight to him, and her eyes fell on the snowball in the basket.

"I came here today because Snowball injured Concubine Yu, disrupted the Queen's banquet, and caused me to be punished, so I want to take the dog back and deal with it."

Her voice was steady and resolute, revealing a firm determination that could not be questioned by others.

Hailancha was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Oh? Miss Yingluo, what are you going to do with it?"

He looked Wei Yingluo up and down, thinking to himself that she was really brave and Fu Heng would have a hard time in the future.

Wei Yingluo's face was smiling, like a gentle spring breeze, but her words were as cold as the biting spring wind: "Of course I will vent my anger first, then kill it, peel off the skin and send it to you, so that you can return the task as soon as possible."

"How can you, a girl, really do such a thing?" Hailancha said, and after a moment's hesitation, he handed the basket over. "Okay, I'll leave it to you! But if anyone asks about it later..."

Wei Yingluo reached out to take the basket and said to him naturally, "Guard Sauron, rest assured. Yingluo will keep her mouth shut and will never embarrass you."

Only then did Hailancha let go of her hand with relief and let her take the basket away.

It was not until Wei Yingluo's back disappeared at the entrance of the corridor that Hailancha breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the pillar and said, "Huh, I'm finally free from this hard job..."

"Hailancha!"

"Who is it again?" Hailancha was so surprised that he turned around quickly.

A man walked out from behind, wearing the same guard uniform as Hailancha and with the same knife on his waist, but in comparison, his temperament was more elegant and noble.

It turned out to be Fu Cha Fu Heng.

"You are so bold." Fu Heng said gloomily, "You actually threw the matter that the emperor entrusted to you to Yingluo to handle."

"Look at what you said." Hailancha quickly denied, "I didn't do that. She asked for it on her own initiative."

"You could have refused." Fu Heng frowned even more tightly. "You didn't refuse because you were afraid that Concubine Gao would come to her senses and hold her responsible for the murder of her beloved dog..."

"Yes, Concubine Gao can't do anything to the emperor, so can't she deal with a small guard like me?" Hailancha spread his hands.

She frankly admitted in front of her friends, "When a woman loses her temper, she can be quite scary, especially a powerful woman."

"Then why are you pushing this matter onto Yingluo?" Fu Heng said with a hint of annoyance.

"She is a maid in Changchun Palace. Changchun Palace and Chuxiu Palace are enemies. What's there to be afraid of? But then again..."

Hailancha stared at Fucha Fuheng thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "Aren't you her fiancé? Why don't you go and help her?"

Fu Heng was confused and turned his head away: "I will go if I go."

He knew that with Wei Yingluo's temper, she would most likely not have the heart to let Snowball stay, but doing so would instead give others a handle against her.

Fu Heng hurriedly chased after Wei Yingluo.

He grabbed Wei Yingluo's arm and asked anxiously, "Yingluo, why did you get involved in this mess?"

Wei Yingluo just rolled her eyes and said stubbornly, "No, I really just killed it to vent my anger. Are you scared, Master? I am just that kind of person. It's not too late for you to regret the engagement now!"

"Yingluo, you are talking nonsense again!" Fu Heng said helplessly.

But Wei Yingluo was so aggrieved that she kept silent. She felt that Fu Heng did not trust her.

"Wang!"

The barking of a dog broke the silence between the two.

Fu Heng looked over and saw a snow-white dog's head poking out from behind the leaves, barking at them twice.

"Snowball?" Fu Heng was stunned.

How come the puppy that should have been disposed of is still alive?

Snowball came out from behind the leaves, took short steps, and ran to Wei Yingluo's feet, barking all the way, with a long rope dragging around his neck.

"You little guy, it would be fine if you didn't stay in there properly, but why are you running around everywhere?" Wei Yingluo sighed.

Fu Heng watched her teasing Snowball and feeding it some food from the sachet she carried with her. He suddenly said, "You are really raising it."

"Yeah." Wei Yingluo responded softly, "How can a dog distinguish right from wrong? It will only obey the master's orders. If the master tells it to guard the house, it will guard the house. If the master tells it to harm people, it will harm people."

Fu Heng said nothing more, but just lowered his head and looked at the man and the dog.

"...Master, is there anything else?" Wei Yingluo suddenly looked up at him, "If nothing else, I'll take it back first, so that no one will find out..."

If things go wrong, you might be accused of deceiving the emperor.

Fu Heng's heart skipped a beat and he blurted out, "Give it to me. The Forbidden City is so small that it will be discovered sooner or later. By that time, you will have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor... Why don't you let me send it out of the palace and find a good family to adopt it."

Wei Yingluo finally relaxed her frown, thinking that Fu Heng had finally taken the bait again. She stroked the snowball reluctantly, then handed it to Fu Heng and said gently, "Then I'll leave it to you, Master."

Fu Heng then smiled happily, took the snowball from her, took it out of the palace, and placed it in his newly purchased house.

He thought that when Yingluo got married, she would be very happy to see the lively Snowball.
