Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 5

Chapter 5: sneak away

    Even after guessing the truth, the anxiety in Emperor Zhou Wu's heart did not ease in the slightest. Even if the body is not occupied by monsters and the imperial power is not in danger of being usurped, however, if he doesn't wake up soon, Da Zhou will be in chaos sooner or later.

　　But now that he is attached to the body of a newborn puppy, it is difficult to even protect himself, let alone regain his body? He clearly realized that he needed help.

　　When he first woke up, he imagined that maybe he could go back after this body died. But speculation is speculation after all, if he can't go back, then everything will be over. He was used to strategizing and never did such uncertain things, so after two days of hunger strike, he finally gave up the idea of ​​committing suicide.

　　Right now, he has to find the people he trusts the most as soon as possible, get in touch with them, and ask them to find a way to replace his body.

　　In this forbidden palace, the people he can trust are Chief Eunuch Chang Xi, Commander of Secret Guards Yan Junwei, and the only woman he cherishes——Liangfei Shen Huiru. Among the three, with his current status, Huiru is the one who is the easiest to get in touch with. If he had been sent to Huiru's Zhongcui Palace back then, he wouldn't have to bother so much now. Although he can't speak, he can still write a few words with ink on his paws. Huiru is so courageous that she will not be intimidated.

　　Thinking about going to Qianqing Palace and Zhongcui Palace to find out what happened as soon as possible, Emperor Wu of Zhou stayed in the garden, pretending to be concentrating on playing, trying to numb the palace people and then slip away.

　　However, Meng Sangyu is worthy of being born as a general, and his methods of imperial servants are very superb. Since she sent a message to make people look up to A Bao, the servants in the palace will definitely not let A Bao go out of their sight.

　　After working all afternoon, Emperor Wu of Zhou, who couldn't find a single gap, had to give up and was carried back to the inner hall by Meng Sangyu.

　　A continuous fire cloud appeared in the sky outside the window, setting off the autumn evening with incomparable magnificence.

　　Meng Sangyu hugged Ah Bao, staring at the clouds in the sky in a daze. She has a calm face and far-sighted eyes, clearly standing here, but Emperor Wu of Zhou felt that the person holding him has become a soulless shell, and the strong loneliness transmitted from her made his heart tremble .

　　The feeling of tightness in the chest came again, and Emperor Wu of Zhou whimpered, calling Meng Sangyu back to his sanity.

　　"Are you hungry, Bao? Let's pass the meal on. Let's eat lean meat and egg custard tonight. I'll give you a change." Feeling the warmth in her arms, Meng Sangyu met Ah Bao's clear eyes and smiled softly.

　　The feeling of being out of reach disappeared in an instant, and this tranquil smile was reflected in Emperor Zhou Wu's eyes, making him lose his mind for a moment. He flicked his tail unconsciously and then froze quickly, so he had to lower his head to avoid the woman's sight.

　　The dinner was very rich. In addition to lean meat and egg custard, Meng Sangyu also asked the imperial dining room to heat up a bowl of goat milk. Emperor Wu of Zhou consumed too much, and he was hungry for a long time. He ate at a fast pace, and even drank half a bowl of goat milk, which was slightly fishy and never touched when he was an emperor.

　　After the meal, his shriveled belly had already swelled into a ball, and he staggered cutely when he walked, which made Meng Sangyu laugh again and again, and when he was picked up, he rubbed him.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou struggled vigorously, fled amid Meng Sangyu's bell-like laughter, got into his willow basket, pulled a piece of cotton cloth and pretended to sleep. His humane behavior caused a chuckle in the hall again.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou was so angry that he ground his deciduous teeth, and vowed that when he returned to his body, he would teach this woman a lesson. At this time, he didn't realize that facing Meng Sangyu, his heart had already softened. If he had been treated this way in the past, he would not have simply taught him a lesson.

　　Seeing that Abao was asleep, Meng Sangyu took the account book handed over by Nanny Feng and began to handle palace affairs.

　　Concubine Li Gui has the highest status and has a son and a daughter. She is the most powerful candidate for the next position. However, the emperor was afraid of the monopoly of his relatives and was on guard against Li Xiangduo. Under such circumstances, how could he let the power of the harem fall into the hands of Concubine Li Gui? Therefore, Meng Sangyu, who was similar to Li Guifei's family background, had room to shine, and seized part of the power under the deliberate indulgence of Emperor Wu of Zhou. Although it is sad to be a chess piece, it is precisely because she is useful that she can survive in this forbidden palace that cannibalize people. In this regard, she has no complaints, but tries her best to seize every opportunity to create a more comfortable future for herself.

　　When Meng Sangyu was concentrating on handling palace affairs, she didn't realize that Abao, who was supposed to be sleeping peacefully in the willow basket, had long since disappeared. His dark brown hair and petite body became the most perfect camouflage, and the palace people who were a little relaxed at night did not notice that there was a small ball over the threshold under their feet and ran towards the night.

　　As soon as he ran out of the area illuminated by the red lanterns on Bixiao Palace, Emperor Wu of Zhou realized that he had made a serious mistake. He originally thought that dogs and wolves, like wolves, can clearly see things around them even in the dark night, after all, they are of the same family. However, reality told him otherwise.

　　Dogs do not have night vision, they only rely on a keen sense of smell and hearing. Unfortunately, the current Emperor Wu of Zhou is still a puppy, and his sense of smell and hearing are not yet fully developed. Even if they are fully developed, he doesn't know how to use them for a while.

　　Looking at the boundless darkness in front of him, Emperor Wu of Zhou hesitated. But a second later, he was still moving towards the unknown. He never backed down.

　　The gravel-covered path is extremely spaced, and the thresholds and steps that used to be passed by are like mountain peaks. It takes a lot of effort to climb over. The low shrubs and flowers have become towering jungles, which are unrecognizable The eyes of color can only see a shade of black...

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou thought he had walked a long way, but considering his palm-sized stature, he could only walk a few hundred meters. Fortunately, he has a superb memory. Through daytime exploration, he has already firmly engraved the path of the rear corner door into his mind. After stumbling around for more than an hour, the corner door that had been locked long ago was finally within sight.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou was overjoyed, and rushed over, and slipped out from the gap under the door with a chirp. A gust of cool wind blows towards the face, mixed with the burning smell of burning candles, and the uniform footsteps of the imperial guards on patrol can be faintly heard not far away.

　　When you arrive at the Imperial Garden, walk 500 meters north through the Imperial Garden and you will find the Qianqing Palace. Emperor Wu of Zhou was secretly happy, and his steps immediately accelerated. But he obviously forgot that there are dozens of steps beyond the corner gate. The steps are not steep, but they are undoubtedly a cliff for a small dog the size of a palm.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou stepped on the ground suddenly, his body rolled and fell, only then could he think of this incident, and regretted it in his heart. He flapped his four paws vigorously, trying to stabilize his body but failed. Instead, he changed the direction of the fall and fell towards the dwarf holly bushes beside the steps.

　　The dense branches and leaves of the bushes acted as a buffer, and the fall was not heavy. But God did not favor Emperor Zhou Wu because of this, his neck got stuck between a forked tree branch, the more he struggled, the tighter he got stuck, the gradually thinning air was depriving him of his sanity.

　　His chest was heaving violently, something was being pulled away from this small body one by one, very slowly and very painfully. Emperor Wu of Zhou struggled in vain, all he could see were white spots of light suddenly flickering out of his dark eyes. He knew that he was about to suffocate to death, the feeling was indescribable!

　　Will Concubine De discover that she is missing? Will you come to save yourself? As soon as this idea popped up, Emperor Zhou Wu laughed at himself in despair. The key to the palace gate has been unlocked, and she has already run out of Bixiao Palace, even if she looks for it, why would she take so much trouble?

　　It is a great irony that the majestic Emperor Wu of Zhou died silently in a corner of the palace but no one could find out! He scoffed inwardly.

　　However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps coming from behind the corner gate, and a certain court lady was vaguely heard saying, "Go back to your mother, Ah Bao likes to run to the corner gate during the day, and this slave will not remember wrongly."

　　"Look, look for it!" The woman's anxious voice carried a hint of sobs. Then there was a burst of rummaging.

　　"Woo~" Hearing this familiar voice like the sound of nature, the feeling of the soul being stripped from the body suddenly stopped, and the gradually lost energy seemed to start to pour back slowly, and Emperor Wu of Zhou shouted with all his might.

　　"Stop, I think I heard Ah Bao's voice!" the woman snapped, and the palace people fell silent.

　　The whimpering came again clearly, and it became weaker and weaker.

　　"Behind the corner door!" Meng Sangyu's gloomy eyes lit up two bright flames, and he ordered hastily, "Quick, open the corner door for me!"

　　"But empress, it is stipulated in the palace that the palace door cannot be opened at will after the key is released." An eunuch hurriedly dissuaded.

　　"What are you talking about? Didn't you hear Po's voice? Was it painful? If he was able to come in, he would have come in by himself. He must have encountered danger. Please open it quickly for me, I will bear all the responsibilities!" The woman recovered her Domineering style.

　　The tone that usually sounds particularly disgusting is now very cute to Emperor Zhou Wu's ears. He tried his best to maintain his breathing and sanity, he knew that the domineering woman would definitely save him.

　　There was the sound of metal rubbing, followed by a dull creaking sound, the corner door was pushed open, and the sound of messy and hasty footsteps was getting closer. Follow his whimper to find it.

　　The gallows-like branch was broken, and a pair of warm hands picked him up carefully, and hugged him into an embrace full of faint fragrance. Emperor Zhou Wu's nose twitched, and his drooping eyelids were slightly moist. This moment was so peaceful and peaceful that he let himself slip into a coma.

　　Seeing that Abao lay motionless in his arms, Meng Sangyu didn't dare to touch him, and the hands supporting his petite body trembled invisibly.

　　"Quick, hurry up and pass on to the imperial physician!" Her voice was extremely dry.

　　To others, it's just a dog, a plaything for recreation. For her, this is her playmates, friends, and even family members, the kind of existence that cannot be abandoned even if the earthquake erupts or the volcano bursts. She can get close to him unscrupulously without being afraid that her disregard of superiority and inferiority will affect him, and she can tell him all her thoughts without being afraid that he will suddenly betray one day.

　　She has already set aside an important place for Ah Bao in her heart, and she doesn't want to lose it.
