Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 17

Chapter 17 Rehabilitation

    The matter of setting up the queen and the crown prince was over due to the emperor's anger, and the harem and court were really quiet for a while. Half a month later, it was the memorial day for the late emperor. The concubines, princes and princesses who were above the fourth rank had to wear plain clothes to pay homage to the emperor's mausoleum. As usual, the Empress Dowager did not come back, but only sent a set of cold clothes made by herself for the emperor to burn for the first emperor.

　　At the ceremony, the first prince's performance was mediocre as usual, but the second prince was surprisingly eye-catching. After being reprimanded by the emperor, he was obviously more mature and steady, he was polite and restrained in his actions, advanced and retreated appropriately, and even wrote a sincere and eloquent sacrificial oration, which moved many veterans to tears.

　　After the ceremony, many ministers praised the second prince's filial piety and literary talent, and the emperor also praised the scene a few words. The previous storm of the second prince being scolded for being stubborn and embarrassing him was finally over.

　　"In this palace, even a child in his early ten years is not easy! Such a big scene can be held, it is worthy of being produced by the royal family. (The second prince is twelve years old, but he is only ten years old in reality.) It seems that Li The imperial concubine will soon make another move." Meng Sangyu sighed after thinking about the performance of the second prince at the ceremony.

　　"How did your empress know that Concubine Li Gui is going to make a move?" Bi Shui has long been accustomed to the strange words that her master would pop up from time to time, so she only asked intelligible words.

　　"Knowing that the emperor and the concubine Liang have such a bad idea, how long will she wait if she doesn't hurry up and plan for herself? Don't tell me she's waiting for the concubine Liang to conceive and have a baby?" Meng Sangyu said while stretching out her arms, carrying A Bao into the palace Yin Cui walked over, "Let me see Ah Bao, is there any better today?"

　　What is broken matter? Sang Yu's small mouth really makes people love and hate it. Emperor Wu of Zhou groaned and looked at the woman pitifully with watery dog ​​eyes, as if begging for love and hug. However, after two or three hours away from Meng Sangyu, he felt that something was wrong all over his body, and his ups and downs could not be realized.

　　Ah Bao is wearing a rabbit outfit today, with a dog face wrapped in fluffy rabbit skin, two long rabbit ears on it, and a scar on his eyelids. Moe dizzy. She rubbed her hands vigorously, and took A Bao carefully after her cold hands warmed up.

　　"It's much better today. The small wounds have scabbed over, and the big wounds will take another six or seven days. When the empress left, she fed him a bowl of porridge, and she hasn't eaten since then, and she refuses to drink the medicine. I'm afraid I'm missing him. What about the empress. She started to struggle when she heard the sound of the guard of honor returning to the palace from a distance, and wanted to come out to welcome you." Yincui touched A Bao's paw wrapped like a rice dumpling in a funny way.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou just buried himself in Meng Sangyu's arms and felt her fragrance and body temperature quietly. The longer he became a dog, the more dependent he became on his master, and he felt that nowhere was as safe as Meng Sangyu's embrace.

　　"Then bring the medicine quickly. Feed him the medicine before eating." Meng Sangyu pinched the tip of A Bao's nose, took a small bib from Nanny Feng and tied it around A Bao's neck.

　　Rabbit outfits, small bibs, a dog's face with hair cut... This picture is unprecedentedly funny, and the palace people in the palace bowed their heads and shrugged their shoulders non-stop. Both Bi Shui and Yin Cui blushed, and they had no choice but to retreat quickly for the sake of A Bao's self-esteem.

　　The medicine was boiled quickly, and brought to Meng Sangyu. Meng Sangyu hooked Abao into the crook of his arm with his left hand, and fed him with a small spoon in his right hand. Ah Bao was also very cooperative, taking one mouthful after another without struggling at all, and he didn't spit out because of the pain of the medicine. He was braver than most people.

　　"Ma'am, do you think Ah Bao is very smart? Seems like he can understand us?" Yin Cui asked in a low voice.

　　Ah Bao spat out the spoonful of medicine he had just swallowed, soaking the little bib.

　　Meng Sangyu wiped it clean for him with a smile, and asked nonchalantly, "Isn't it smart?"

　　"It's nothing bad." It just feels weird sometimes. In the second half of the sentence, Yincui didn't dare to answer.

　　"No matter how smart he is, he is still my Abao. I wish he was even smarter." Meng Sangyu pinched Abao's wet nose, and his words were full of pampering.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out his tongue to lick the woman's warm fingers eagerly. Unfortunately, his tailbone was broken, otherwise he would have been swaying happily by now.

　　"My servant pays homage to Empress Defei and asks her to drink medicine." At the gate of the hall, a medical lady who visited three times a month held a bowl of hot soup in her hand and saluted.

　　In the past, Nanny Feng would smile when she saw her, but now she secretly gritted her teeth, wishing she could step forward and overturn the medicine bowl.

　　"Leave it alone, I'll drink it later." Meng Sangyu ordered with a faint smile on his lips.

　　The medical girl promised, put the medicine bowl on the small table beside A Bao's willow basket, and then retreated to the corner to wait. She got an order from her superiors, and she had to watch Empress De Fei drink the medicine before going back to work.

　　Meng Sangyu fed A Bao the medicine, put him back into the willow basket, and was about to pick up the medicine bowl to drink it, but unexpectedly, A Bao raised his paw and flopped over the medicine bowl.

　　"Mistress, be careful!" Bi Shui and Yin Cui stepped forward immediately, one pulled Concubine De away, and the other caught the medicine bowl.

　　Well done Po! Nanny Feng's eyes lit up, and she even moved A'Bao and Xiaowo to the soft couch on the side to prevent him from getting wet, and then she made a embarrassed expression and said to the doctor girl, "This medicine has been spilled. look……"

　　"It's all right, I'll cook another bowl for your mother when I go back, and I'll bring it over later." The nurse knelt quickly and said.

　　"Then I'm going to trouble you." Mother Feng's smile was a little fake.

　　Ah Bao in the willow basket moved his paws, his eyes were dim.

　　When the doctor girl left, Nanny Feng leaned close to Meng Sangyu's ear and said in a low voice, "Madam, although you don't want a child, you can't torment yourself like this? It's a three-point drug. After drinking it for three years, you can't drink it anymore. gone."

　　"Got it, Mommy, I won't take this medicine anymore." Meng Sangyu nodded, thinking in her heart: Anyway, I have fallen out of favor, and the emperor probably won't think of me for a year or so, so it doesn't matter if I don't take it.

　　Back then, she was only a fourteen-year-old girl, even if the emperor didn't treat her like this, she would find some contraceptive pills and take them herself. The emperor's move also saved her a lot of trouble.

　　Ah Bao in the willow basket was immediately relieved when he heard the conversation between the master and the servant, and all the dissatisfaction with Nanny Feng before disappeared. Although this servant is dull, she is better than loyal, so it is better to let her stay with Sang Yu.

　　When the medical girl came back, Meng Sangyu had already changed into a dark open-front cotton gown, covered her face with wide sleeves, and poured the medicinal juice into the cuffs without leaking water. The medical girl didn't see any abnormality at all, she went back with the medicine bowl and told her life.

　　***

　　It was night, Meng Sangyu was sleeping on the couch, and Ah Bao was sleeping on the couch, each of them looked peaceful, even their breathing rate was the same. Thin and dense rain was floating outside the window, and the refreshing coolness penetrated through the cracks in the slightly open window, and then turned into water vapor and fell to the ground by the window.

　　Suddenly, the dark sky was split by a bright white lightning, and after a while, deafening thunder rolled from the sky, as if thousands of troops were fighting on the roof.

　　Meng Sangyu frowned at first, then woke up in the thunderstorm, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and screamed for Nanny Feng. She was trembling all over, her face was pale, her phoenix eyes were wide open to the limit, and she looked extremely frightened and disturbed.

　　Yes, she was afraid of thunder and lightning. In the previous life, when she was four years old, she was locked up at home alone by her parents. In the same thunderstorm weather, a bolt of lightning struck a corner of the villa, and the electrical appliances in the house burst into sparks, almost burning her to death. Thanks to the nanny who arrived in time and rescued her sea ​​of ​​flames. Since then, Thunder and Lightning has become a nightmare that she can't get rid of for two lifetimes.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou was startled awake by Meng Sangyu's cry, flailing his four claws trying to get up, and climbed onto the couch along the embroidered pier. It was the first time he saw a woman in such a panic, with a tight chest. It's a pity that he was covered in wounds, wrapped up like a mummy, and wearing a thick cotton jacket, he was really powerless.

　　"Wow, woof, woof," Sang Yu, don't be afraid, I'm here!

　　"A Bao?" Hearing the barking of the little milk dog Nunuuo, Meng Sangyu froze for a moment, then threw off the quilt and threw herself to the side of the bed, hugging A Bao, who was looking up at her, into her arms.

　　"Don't be afraid, Abao, I'm here! I will protect you!" Thinking that Abao's yelling was because of fear, Meng Sangyu suddenly calmed down, and while patting Abao's back, wrapped him and herself in a quilt .

　　The quilt formed a small space of its own, which was very fragrant and warm. Emperor Wu of Zhou took a deep breath, feeling a little stunned. He hooked his claws around the woman's wrist, and stuck out his tongue to lick the back of the woman's hand and fingertips. The smooth touch and sweet taste made him a little addicted. Meng Sangyu also forgot to be afraid, tickled A Bao's nimble little tongue with her fingers, and laughed softly.

　　"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Nanny Feng and Bi Shui came in in a mess, their hair still dripping with rain.

　　"I'm fine, where have you been?" Meng Sangyu lifted the quilt. Emperor Wu of Zhou was disturbed by the two, and patted the brocade quilt under his body with his paw angrily.

　　"Going back to your mother, it suddenly started to rain in the middle of the night. The servant girl and Bi Shui thought that the window of the study room was not closed, so they hurried over to close it, but suddenly there was thunder and lightning from the sky, and ice particles the size of pebbles fell, killing me and Bi Shui. It's smashing enough!"

　　Only then did Meng Sangyu dare to listen carefully to the movement outside the window, and sure enough, she heard the sound of thumping ice particles.

　　"Your Majesty, it's winter and there are still thunderstorms. It is said that the winter thunder rolls and the summer rain and snow, this is not a good omen! Tomorrow, the servants will go to ask for a peace talisman for the Empress, so please go to the Empress to get rid of the bad luck." Mother Feng stepped forward, Tucked up the quilt for the master, and when he saw Abao in the quilt, he was about to reach out and hug him down.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou frowned, and quickly hooked Meng Sangyu's jade arm with his claws. This servant is good at everything, but he has no winks and is too dull!

　　"No, just let Abao sleep with me. Mammy doesn't have to make a bed for me tonight, so as not to be cold. The peace talisman will bother Mammy. Go back and pack up, take a hot shower and make a bowl of ginger soup Be careful not to get sick." Meng Sangyu hurriedly waved her hand to dismiss Nanny Feng, and carefully carried Abao into her arms.

　　Pillowing on the woman's soft crisp-chest, facing a deep breast-groove in front of his eyes, Emperor Zhou Wu's nose was a little itchy, and his tongue stuck out uncontrollably, licking gently.

　　"Ah~ Ah Bao, you perverted dog!" Meng Sangyu coquettishly laughed, then chuckled.

　　Seeing her master playing around with A Bao, completely forgetting about the rolling thunder outside the window, Nanny Feng smiled reassuringly, and walked out of the dormitory lightly with Bi Shui.

　　On the second day, the ominous omen of winter thunder caused some waves in the court, and the emperor immediately issued an edict, urging officials from all over the country to do a good job of preventing the cold and not to let the people suffer. A few days later, the aftermath of Donglei had not subsided, but the thousand-year-old pine behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony suddenly withered, causing an uproar in the court.

　　This ancient pine also withered once more than a hundred years ago. A few years after that, the previous dynasty collapsed and the ancestor of the ancient family occupied the imperial palace. On the day of Zhou Taizu's enthronement ceremony, the dead ancient pine suddenly sprouted new shoots and revived. Zhou Taizu was overjoyed when he learned about it, saying that it was a blessing from God, which indicated that the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in accordance with God's will, and it would surely prosper forever.

　　Now, the ancient pine, which is so symbolic to the Great Zhou, suddenly withered and died. Could it be that the heavens are warning the people of the Great Zhou? Root out...Combined with the rumors a while ago, shouldn't it be on the emperor?

　　In Fengluan Palace, Concubine Li Gui smiled; in Zhongcui Palace, Shen Huiru forcibly broke a wolf hair.
