Taking advantage of the night, a corner of the palace gate was opened, and Xiao Lezi led Erniu quietly slipped in, leaving behind the gatekeeper with a dazed look on his face.
After the man and the dog disappeared into the darkness, one of them asked his companion, "What happened in the palace? Why did you bring a dog in at this time?"
"Don't talk nonsense, that's General Xiaotian, his rank is much higher than ours."
"Well, why did you summon General Xiaotian into the palace at this time?"
"Who knows? I have a feeling that things won't be peaceful tonight. Well, these are not our concerns. Just guard the gate well."
Silence returned here, but the East Palace became increasingly lively.
Pan Hai stood in the courtyard, looking towards the door frequently.
The prince sneered: "Why, Eunuch Pan wants to add more people?"
Seeing the East Palace turned into a mess, he calmed down instead.
It has not been found even after being translated so thoroughly, and it seems that it will never be found.
Well, the doll was buried in a very special place and it is not easy to find.
The prince raised the corners of his lips and his heart gradually relaxed.
He would just bear with it for a while. When the day came, he would go to his father and cry to him. He would make Pan Hai, that dog slave, pay the price!
Pan Hai raised his sleeves and wiped his forehead, feeling heavy-hearted.
"Master, here he comes!"
Xiao Lezi turned to the side, revealing a big, sturdy dog.
The prince's eyes narrowed and he blurted out, "Why is Erniu here?"
Upon hearing the voice, Erniu looked at the prince, then at Pan Hai.
Pan Hai bowed to Erniu and said, "General Xiaotian, please."
Erniu wagged his tail but showed no reaction.
Pan Hai was stunned.
The prince suddenly laughed out loud: "Pan Hai, do you really think Erniu can communicate with gods? No matter how capable it is, it is still a dog and cannot understand human language."
Erniu glanced at the prince.
It doesn't understand? Idiot!
Pan Hai's face turned pale at the prince's ridicule.
Xiao Lezi reminded him quietly, "Master, King Yan said that if you want General Xiaotian to find something, it's best to let it smell the person who has touched the object. If the object has the scent of that person, it will be easy for General Xiaotian to find it."
When Pan Hai heard this, he immediately pointed at the prince and gestured the shape of a bone.
Using a puppet to curse the emperor is such a heinous act. No matter how stupid the prince is, he will not use someone else to do it. He will definitely bury the puppet himself. However, it is not known whether the puppet can leave the prince's scent, and it is even more unknown whether Erniu can understand what he means.
Erniu looked at Pan Hai with disdain, then turned and rushed towards the prince.
If you want to find something, just find something. Why do you have to compare it to carving out a bone? If it were another stupid dog, wouldn’t it be misled? What would it do if it really got a bone?
This is indeed a stupid one.
Seeing the two bulls rushing towards him, the prince instinctively screamed, "Don't come over here!"
The big dog, moving as fast as lightning, had already grabbed the prince's leg, sniffed it hard, and then ran away in a gust of wind.
The prince still didn't come back to his senses.
Pan Hai also didn't come back to his senses.
He actually saw a look of contempt on a dog's face just now?
I must be dazzled.
"Are you all dead? Why don't you help me up!" The prince, whose legs were limp with fear, shouted angrily.
Pan Hai quickly shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Continue searching!"
Asking General Xiaotian to come into the palace for help was just a little hope. We can't really put all our hopes on a dog.
Erniu was strong and sturdy, and he jumped around quickly. He soon ran back to Pan Hai and placed everything he had brought in front of him.
An ivory comb, a pair of ramie shoes, a white silk towel...all kinds of things, all are personal items.
The prince laughed out loud: "Pan Hai, this is the helper you invited? I have said it before, beasts are beasts, even if they have some human nature, they can't be stronger than humans. You are desperate, right?"
He did covet Erniu, but the beast had scared him time and again, and his curiosity was long gone.
So what if there is no dog that can predict earthquakes? As long as he sits on the throne, he will not go anywhere. In history, no emperor has ever died in an earthquake.
The prince, who had figured it out, stared at the big dog that was carrying things back and forth, and wished he could kill it immediately and stew it for meat.
Pan Hai's expression became increasingly ugly, and the objects in front of him continued to increase.
At this moment, Pan Hai also felt that he was confused.
Why did he think of calling Erniu to help? This was not helping at all, it was just causing trouble and making him even more embarrassed.
Erniu put down an old purse and snorted twice in dissatisfaction.
What's that person's expression? Is he dissatisfied with the job?
It is also in a difficult situation, because the smell of that person is everywhere here, and these are all carefully selected by it!
It was Xiao Lezi who suddenly had an idea. He coughed and said, "Master, should we let General Xiaotian smell the scent of Paulownia wood?"
Pan Hai's eyes lit up.
Yes, this is the prince's bedroom, and the scent of the prince is everywhere. It would be strange if Erniu could find anything just by smelling the prince's scent. The right thing to do is to smell the scent of paulownia wood.
Pan Hai had the urge to slap his head.
He was stuck in a rut and wasn't as quick as Xiao Lezi in reacting.
Fortunately, Paulownia wood was not difficult to find and was planted in the garden. Soon, a eunuch came to pick some Paulownia branches.
Pan Haidian gave Erniu a sniff, then pointed at the prince and gestured to him the shape of a bone.
Erniu glanced at the prince.
The prince was furious: "Pan Hai, don't be so presumptuous!"
"I dare not."
Erniu ignored the verbal exchange between the two and turned around and ran away.
The sound of searching gradually stopped. The bedroom was searched everywhere but still found nothing, so he had to stop.
Erniu sniffed east and west, as if he had a target, and went straight to the inner room of the prince's bedroom.
Seeing this, the two eunuchs followed.
Erniu went into the inner room, moved his nose, ran to the window, and put his two front paws on the windowsill.
The two eunuchs looked at each other, and one of them whispered, "Did General Xiaotian discover something?"
"What could be here? Could it be the prince's stinky socks?"
"Don't talk nonsense. He is the prince after all. If we can't find anything today, all of us, including the governor, will be in trouble."
"Woof woof!" Erniu barked.
Pan Hai, who was outside the room, heard the noise and hurried in. The prince followed him in with a pale face.
When he saw Pan Hai coming in, Erniu shouted even louder at the window sill.
Pan Hai walked over and stared at the window sill, frowning in thought.
Erniu couldn't bear it any longer, so he stretched out his claws and pushed a pot of flowers on the windowsill to the ground.
The flowerpot was made of porcelain and it broke with a bang, scattering the flowers and soil.
"Stop!" the prince screamed.
Pan Hai's eyes narrowed, and he bent down to pick up something that was half exposed in the soil.
It was a puppet made of paulownia wood, with a needle stuck in the middle of its chest, and its birth date was written on the back.
Pan Hai held the puppet tightly and looked at the prince suddenly.
The prince had collapsed to the ground.
"Take the prince to the Qianqing Palace!" Pan Hai suppressed his inner excitement and anger and said loudly.
