Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 8

Chapter 8: disappointment

    A sense of strangeness suddenly rose in his heart, and Ah Bao moved his front paws, wanting to leave this embrace.

　　Shen Huiru secretly tightened her five fingers, grabbed his restless paw, and the gleaming nail cover on her little finger pierced A Bao's jaw fiercely. Because of the angle, no one saw her concealed movements.

　　The puppy's delicate skin was instantly torn, and bright red blood dripped from the skin immediately, but because of the dark brown fur, it didn't show at all. Ah Bao cried out in pain, and scratched Shen Huiru reflexively.

　　Shen Huiru screamed and threw Abao far away.

　　The false emperor and Meng Sangyu both stood up, one went to help Shen Huiru, and the other ran towards A Bao who fell heavily to the ground.

　　"My concubine, what's the matter?" The false emperor put his arms around Shen Huiru's shoulders, his tone full of anxiety.

　　Meng Sangyu gently hugged the dizzy Abao into his arms, and an angry expression appeared on his calm face for the first time. "Concubine Liang, what's the matter with you?" Regardless of the emperor's presence, her tone was full of questioning. Although the grades are the same, De, Xian, Liang, Shu, De is the head of the four concubines, her status is still half a step higher than Liang Concubine, and she has the qualifications to question the other party.

　　The eyes of the concubines watching the play lit up. This aggressive posture is the concubine De! They thought that Concubine De had changed!

　　"Your Majesty, this bastard is harassing my concubine!" Shen Huiru complained, clutching the back of her right hand, ignoring Meng Sangyu.

　　The fake emperor held Shen Huiru's right hand carefully, seeing a scarlet scar on it, and a bit of anger appeared on his handsome and extraordinary face.

　　"Concubine De, you dare to bring an untamed beast in front of me at will, are you guilty?"

　　"My concubine is guilty, please punish me by the emperor." Seeing Abao opened his eyes, pulling at his skirt and moaning, Meng Sangyu's rationality quickly came back, and he agreed without hesitation. I don't have time to chat with the emperor, Abao's injury is serious.

　　"Then you take this bastard back, and when you get rid of him, come out again." The fake emperor shook his sleeves, his face full of impatience.

　　This is a disguised form of confinement, and it is indefinite. Meng Sangyu's heart was clear, and she left under the gloating eyes of all the concubines.

　　Shen Huiru stroked the red mark on her right hand, and nodded slightly to the fake emperor. If you want to ask who is the woman she hates the most in this palace, it's not the queen or the noble concubine, but Meng Sangyu is none other than Meng Sangyu. Obviously he is Shao Ze's favorite, but he wants to stay quietly in Zhongcui Palace, watching Meng Sangyu take away the honor, status and rights that should belong to him. Why is she? What qualifications does she have? Shao Ze said that everything is for his own good, but is he really living well? Every time she sees Meng Sangyu in high spirits, she always has such doubts.

　　But no matter how unwilling she was, she would not take action against Meng Sangyu, because she knew that what Shao Ze loved was her gentleness, pride, cleanliness and purity. The more aggressive and domineering Meng Sangyu was, the deeper Shao Ze's guilt and pity for herself would be. In this way, she could only bear it, and could only dormant silently in Zhongcui Palace. However, now that Shao Ze is in a coma, her patience has come to an end.

　　Exhaling foul breath, Shen Huiru winked at the false emperor. The false emperor understood, and on the pretext that he still had to deal with government affairs, he drove to the Qianqing Palace, leaving Shen Huiru to face the concubines who suddenly became more courteous.

　　Today's trip is just a trial arranged by Shen Huiru for the false emperor. If you want to play Emperor Wu of Zhou well, you must first hide it from the eyes of the concubines in the harem. As it stands now, he's doing pretty well.

　　The real Emperor Wu of Zhou was nestling in Meng Sangyu's arms at the moment. If it wasn't for the fluff covering, his despondent appearance would definitely arouse the suspicion of others.

　　What happened just now happened too fast, and it was only now that he slowly realized that he was being used by Huiru as a tool to attack Concubine De. This situation is somewhat reversed from his usual impression. Although Concubine De has not harmed Huiru, there is still a verbal run-off. Huiru is arrogant and never bothers to argue with Concubine De. It was her open-mindedness that made Emperor Wu of Zhou even more guilty.

　　But Shen Huiru's every move today squandered more than half of the guilt in his heart. It turns out that she also has words in her conversation, she can make insinuations, she can turn black and white upside down, and she will use all means to frame others, just like those concubines. In normal times, he would be relieved to see that Huiru has the ability to protect himself, but now that he is being used to replace himself with the injured object, he will not be able to generate any positive emotions anyway.

　　Feeling the pain coming from his jaw, Emperor Wu of Zhou frowned, and remembered that the substitute had mouthed "Zhen" and punished Concubine De to ground her feet. The discomfort quickly turned into Liaoyuan's anger. A counterfeit dares to touch my woman, the day I return to my soul is the day of your death!

　　The furious Emperor Wu of Zhou obviously ignored the scene where the fake emperor embraced Shen Huiru. The balance in his heart is tilting towards his master bit by bit, but he still doesn't know it.

　　Meng Sangyu rushed back to Bixiao Palace with Abao in his arms, and urged the palace staff to go to the imperial hospital to summon the imperial physician before entering the door.

　　"Your Majesty, it's just a fall, so there's no need to go through so much trouble. The Emperor just restrained your feet because of A Bao. You summoned the imperial physician for him. The Emperor will not be happy." Mother Feng worriedly dissuaded .

　　"A Bao is still young, and I might get internal injuries if he falls like that. The imperial doctor has come to see me so I can rest assured. The feet have been restrained, and it doesn't matter if the emperor is happy or not." Meng Sangyu carefully groped A Bao Her body and her frowning brows expressed her distress.

　　Facing this pair of phoenix eyes as gentle as water, Emperor Zhou Wu's chaotic mood calmed down bit by bit, and the negative emotions in his heart were swept away. Shrinking into the woman's soft and fragrant arms, he didn't understand that the feeling of being extremely at ease and cuddling is called "healing".

　　It was the same imperial physician from last time. After a hasty salute, he stepped forward to diagnose and treat A Bao who was lying on the soft couch. Injured twice in three days, this is really a fateful puppy! The imperial physician sighed inwardly, and checked more carefully.

　　"Mother, Ah Bao has no internal injuries, but a half-inch-long wound on his jaw was cut by a sharp weapon, and he will be healed in five or six days with some golden sore medicine." The imperial doctor bowed and replied.

　　"What? The jaw was cut?" Meng Sangyu frowned, her tone mixed with surprise and anger. Waiting for the imperial doctor to prescribe the good medicine for A Bao, looking at A Bao's bald neck, she couldn't feel more distressed, kissing the top of A Bao's head again and again and whispering, "I knew that A Bao would not attack people for no reason. Making tricks in private! Damn it!"

　　After cursing, she seemed to think of something, and she had a helpless expression on her face. If it was someone else, she would definitely seek justice for Abao, but this person is Shen Huiru, and there is nothing she can do.

　　"Concubine Liang usually keeps quiet, I never thought she was this kind of person!" Mother Feng said angrily, "Your Majesty, you have never had anything to do with her, why would she suddenly target you?"

　　"Have nothing to do with it? Have you forgotten? My brother only seriously injured Concubine Liang's elder brother half a year ago, and even disfigured her. This is a big knot, so it's strange that she didn't target me." Meng Sangyu sighed and rubbed her face. Pain between the eyebrows. In fact, there were other reasons, but it was inconvenient for her to tell Nanny Feng, Nanny Feng couldn't hide things, and it was not good for her to know too much.

　　It turns out that there is still this crop, and I almost forgot! Seeing Concubine De's tired face, Emperor Wu of Zhou felt disgusted with her brother who was not motivated.

　　Meng Sangyu put down his hand rubbing the center of his brows, and added worriedly, "Now Grand Master Shen has returned to the court, with great power in his hands, all of you should stay away from my good concubine, and don't confront her."

　　When it comes to the master's brother in trousers, Nanny Feng is also helpless. She sighed and muttered in a low voice, "The emperor was able to ascend to the throne smoothly back then. Taishi Shen was the biggest contributor. Everyone thought that the Shen family could rise to the sky in one step, but Taishi Shen suddenly got a job and resigned from all positions. He is so indifferent to fame and wealth." Why did you suddenly return to the court?"

　　"The emperor is recuperating from a serious injury. If there is no one he can trust, he will come back naturally. Besides, even if he doesn't return this time, he will always find another opportunity to regain power. Sister, you really think that Grand Master Shen is such a high-minded person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. Wrong! Who can beat him in terms of scheming and scheming in this full court?" Meng Sangyu stroking Abao's soft hair and sneered.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at her with burning eyes. He wanted to see why Meng Sangyu said this about the loyal grand master who had no intention of seizing power.

　　Unaware of A Bao's unusually fiery gaze, Meng Sangyu continued, "Indifferent to fame and wealth, obsessed with mountains and rivers, this is just a way for Grand Master Shen to retreat. If he hadn't retreated bravely back then, the power of the Shen family would have surpassed the queen's mother." family, leaped to the No. 1 family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. But look, what happened to the Queen’s family of the former No. 1 family of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Wasn’t it because of their great achievements that they were suppressed by the emperor’s suspicion and never recovered? He predicted it early on. The emperor's mentality exchanged power for the emperor's trust, and also paved a road to success for the descendants of the Shen family. If Concubine Liang's brother does not lose his appearance, he will be able to become an official after this autumn, and the emperor will definitely give him a piece of money to make up for the Shen family. With a bright future, the prosperity of the Shen family is only a matter of time. But unfortunately, he was really unlucky. He met his elder brother at this critical juncture, and was even broken. The prosperity of the Shen family will be cut off if the talents are available. No matter how willing to accept such a result, Grand Master Shen will naturally go out in person. Haven't you noticed? Since half a year ago, Grand Master Shen has not been far away You, has been living in the capital, and often goes to the palace to meet the emperor to connect with each other. He is paving the way for his return to officialdom, and the concubine Liang has changed her previous low profile and frequently invites favors. They will definitely fight for the hope of turning over quickly, and today’s incident is just the beginning. The Meng family and the Shen family have deep grievances, at this time we must be cautious, and we must not make mistakes in the slightest, you all remember!”

　　Nanny Feng and the others looked terrified, and quickly bowed their heads in agreement.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou opened his mouth wide, his expression hard to hide his shock. In the past six months, the Grand Master did often go to the palace to ask for an audience, and talked about government affairs with him, and it was true that Huiru had been uncharacteristically attached to herself since half a year ago.

　　Because of his trust in the grand master and love for Huiru, he never thought of anything else, but Meng Sangyu's words were too sharp and well-founded, and he couldn't find a suitable sentence to refute. As long as he thinks that the grand master's loyalty and Huiru's love are mixed with such utilitarianism, he feels that he cannot respond, and his decision to get in touch with Huiru begins to waver.

　　His chest was throbbing, and Emperor Wu of Zhou had nowhere to vent it. He bit Meng Sangyu's fingertips and grinded them hard with his teeth. This woman is too intelligent and transparent! It's really hateful to expose the reality that he doesn't want to think about or accept one by one!

　　etc! Since she can clearly see the situation of the Queen's mother family, the Li family, and the Shen family, there is no reason why she cannot see the situation of the Meng family! Could it be, could it be that she knew everything, but she just pretended to be confused?

　　Thinking of this possibility, the anger and depression in Emperor Zhou Wu's heart dissipated in an instant, replaced by a deep guilty conscience.

　　The puppy's teeth are not fully grown yet, so it doesn't feel any pain when biting. Meng Sangyu thought that Ah Bao was playing with her, scratched his tongue twice with his fingertips, and scolded dotingly, "Naughty!"

　　Feeling guilty, Emperor Wu of Zhou wagged his tail reflexively, showing his attitude to please his master even if he was absent-minded. Before he knew it, he had stepped on the path of no return for a loyal dog.
