Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 23

Chapter 23 See through (2)

    After seeing the situation clearly and knowing that he was in danger, Meng Sangyu could no longer live his life with the mentality of muddling along as before. She walked back and forth in the hall with A Bao in her arms. After pondering for a long time, she put A Bao in the willow basket on the couch and asked Nanny Feng to spread out paper and pen to write a letter to her father who was far away in the border area.

　　As soon as he finished the first few words, a young eunuch responsible for inquiring about information knelt outside the hall and asked to see him. Bishui frowned and went out, then came back with a sullen face and a hoarse voice, "Mother, I just got the news. After the emperor left Bixiao Palace, he returned to Qianqing Palace. He stayed there for less than a quarter of an hour and turned to Concubine Xian again. Your Majesty’s sign is now on its way to Jiangzi Palace.”

　　She was possessed by a man of unknown origin. If the emperor wakes up in the future, the concubine Xian will definitely die! If his master had not taken pills to avoid it, he might have met the same fate as the Concubine Xian! Thinking of this, Bishui broke out in cold sweat. Yincui and Nanny Feng also reacted. While they were scared, they gnashed their teeth in hatred towards Liang Fei!

　　Emperor Zhou Wu's dog face was distorted into a state of disgrace, and a rage filled his chest, almost ready to explode. Six years of cherishing and caring for six years have resulted in this result? Instructing a fake to pervert the harem? What else could he say? He has nothing to say!

　　Meng Sangyu was stunned after hearing the news, and stood still at the table for a long time with his pen in hand.

　　"Mother, do we want to rescue Concubine Xian?" Nanny Feng asked hesitantly.

　　"How to save her? Tell her that the emperor is fake? Can she believe it? Don't be harmed by her seductive words! First, she took refuge in the queen, used the queen's protection to successfully give birth to the prince, and then beat her up and killed her. The dead queen, the wise concubine is not a good person! Furthermore, she can’t even tell the difference between the person next to her, how can I wake her up? Mom, until this matter gets out of hand, we will all die. We can't tell anyone in our stomachs, otherwise we will harm the emperor and bring death to ourselves!" Meng Sangyu put down his pen and slowly rubbed his forehead. His bright face had dimmed and was stained with deep fatigue.

　　Aunt Feng only agreed and never said anything about rescuing Concubine Xian again.

　　After hearing the true face of Concubine Xian, Emperor Zhou Wu's heart was on the verge of collapse and he was completely numb. As Sang Yu said, even the person next to her cannot tell the difference. If the concubine Xian is dirty, she can only blame herself. She can't blame anyone, let alone Sang Yu.

　　Yincui stepped forward to massage her master's temples. Seeing that his master had put down his pen, Bishui also put down the ink stick in his hand and asked hesitantly, "Mother, do you still write this letter?"

　　Meng Sangyu sighed and said in a low voice, "I was thinking, for such a big cuckold, if the emperor wakes up and finds out that we are insiders, will he kill us and silence us? If this letter is sent to my father, what will happen to us in the future?" I can't pick them off anymore. When the emperor sees us, he will think of today's humiliation and wish he could get rid of us."

　　Aunt Feng swayed and said in a trembling voice, "How could it be? We are also trying to save the emperor!"

　　Meng Sangyu said with a sarcastic look on his face, "Don't make your family scandal public, and don't underestimate a man's self-esteem!"

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou had no intention of worrying about the cuckold, and was made to feel miserable by Meng Sangyu's suspicion. In front of you, what kind of self-respect do I have? I let you manipulate me and play with me, and in the end I have to pretend to be good and ugly to make you happy. I am already trying to make up for my previous mistakes. Why do you always think the worst about me? Is this the result of self-inflicted evil? His nose felt sore and he whimpered involuntarily.

　　Meng Sangyu's attention was immediately attracted to Ah Bao, and he hurriedly walked to the couch, patted his back and comforted him softly, in exchange for Ah Bao's four paws that couldn't be pulled away.

　　The little guy is getting more and more clingy! Meng Sangyu thought to herself amusingly as she held Abao, who had the words "please hug me" written in her eyes, into her arms.

　　"Then what should we do? Pretend that we don't know?" Nanny Feng followed to the couch and asked in a low voice.

　　It's best to pretend not to know. Sang Yu had better not get involved in these dangerous things. Before that, I must find Junwei as soon as possible and let him protect Sang Yu. If I can't wake up, I will ask him to take Sang Yu out of the palace and send her to Duke Meng. With Duke Meng protecting him, Sangyu could still live a good life even if wars broke out in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Zhou thought secretly.

　　"If you don't do anything, you can only wait for death! That's all, give it your all. The worst I can do is wait until the emperor wakes up and beg him to spare my life for the sake of saving my father. The emperor can at most give me a big reward and then give me a bigger reward. position, and then sent me far away, out of sight. That’s fine. I have the right to be free and don’t have to serve a scumbag. I feel relaxed and at ease.” Besides, it’s still unclear whether the emperor can wake up. The last sentence was hidden by Meng Sangyu. She picked up Abao with her left hand, picked up the pen with her right hand, and wrote again.

　　How could I be willing to send you away far away? That's tearing out my heart! Sang Yu, I was wrong! I will definitely treat you well in the future! Emperor Zhou Wu lay in her arms and groaned, but it was a pity that no one could understand his confession.

　　"It's freezing cold today, and it took a month for this letter to reach my father's hands. We have to endure it for a while! Simply plotting to usurp the throne cannot be accomplished overnight: at least Shen Huiru must have a prince, and at least she must ascend to the throne. To take the throne, the prince must be granted the title of crown prince, and Taishi Shen must completely evade the emperor's rights to cultivate his own power. After this series of actions, it will not be impossible for more than five or six years. We still have time to deal with it." Meng Sangyu comforted his face while writing the letter. The solemn Nanny Feng and others.

　　After writing the last few sentences, she put down her pen and picked up the letter to read it. She seemed dissatisfied and hurriedly added a few paragraphs. She whispered, "There is a war outside the pass. I have to remind my father to be more careful. The barbarian army has been retreating steadily. , what we should worry about at this time is not external enemies but internal ghosts. Since Master Shen wants to steal the country, he will definitely attack the two most powerful opponents at present, one is Li Xiang, the leader of civil servants, and the other is his father, the leader of military generals. Although It is unlikely that he will reach out to the army in such a short period of time, but it is very possible to bribe the supervisory army to hinder his father in terms of food, information, reinforcements, etc. Once he gets his way, his father will be in danger . I hope the emperor’s confidant Han Changping is reliable and can help my father.”

　　Aunt Feng hurriedly comforted her in a low voice, "Don't worry, Madam, the Duke of Guo has been fighting for his whole life, so he won't be easily plotted by others. I heard that Han Changping is also very capable."

　　Meng Sangyu nodded and said, "I hope everything goes as mama said. Well, let's wait for the news in the palace. With the secret guards and father running around, the emperor will definitely turn the corner." No one noticed the insincerity of her words.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu sobbed in emotion and licked the woman's white wrist with nostalgia.

　　Aunt Feng picked up the letter paper and dried the ink on it. She took a quick look and said in surprise, "This... Madam, this is a very ordinary letter from home! Why is the content you just wrote missing? There is a long string behind it. What do the symbols mean?”

　　Meng Sangyu chuckled, "This is a secret letter. As long as my father has a copy of the Great Zhou Dynasty in his hand and searches with the following symbols, he will naturally be able to understand it. This is also to prevent the letter from being intercepted midway. Mammy, you will read it tomorrow morning Send this letter to my mother, and she will forward it on my behalf. There is no need to cover it up. The more upright it is, the less interested others will be. By the way, don't tell your mother about this matter, so as not to worry her."

　　Aunt Feng agreed repeatedly. Seeing that her master was calm and orderly, the panic in her heart calmed down unconsciously. Bi Shui and Yin Cui recovered faster than her, and now their complexions were rosy again, with a smile on their lips.

　　Having done what needed to be done, Meng Sangyu's nervous heart relaxed. He picked up the calligraphy left by the fake emperor on the table and looked at it. He said with interest, "Yincui, take this calligraphy to the Internal Affairs Office tomorrow and ask him to They made a dog tag for Po according to the lettering. The tag should be made of the highest quality rosewood, oval in shape, the size of a jade pendant, and the font should be inlaid with pure gold. The more luxurious and conspicuous the better."

　　"But empress, these words are false." Yincui said hesitantly.

　　Meng Sangyu rubbed Abao's belly, "If I don't tell, who will know? Besides, if I asked for a word but didn't make a dog tag, the fake emperor and Shen Huiru would become suspicious."

　　Yincui nodded, took the letter, folded it, and put it into her sleeve.

　　Meng Sangyu picked up Ah Bao and kissed his little mouth, "Tomorrow I will make a little yellow mandarin for Ah Bao. He is wearing a little yellow mandarin and has a royal dog tag hanging around his neck. Let's see who dares to bully me. Bao." She burst out laughing as she imagined Po wearing a yellow mantle and wearing a royal dog tag swaggering through the palace.

　　Although Grandma Feng and others didn't understand why their master was laughing, they saw her happy and laughed too.

　　She was so gloomy just now, but she was so happy for a moment. What a heartless woman! Emperor Zhou Wu squinted his eyes and thought to himself, licking the woman's soft lips carefully, feeling satisfied and relieved.

　　***

　　In the Qianqing Palace, Shen Huiru was still reading a stack of memorials. After sending the false emperor to Concubine Xian's Jiangzi Palace, she looked at Chang Xi who was kneeling under the royal table and asked in a deep voice, "What did Doctor Lin say?"

　　"Back to the empress, Dr. Lin is saying that Concubine De has indeed received a letter of the moon. She has taken too many medicines in the past three years, which has hurt her body. This disorder of the month and letter is a sign of physical damage. She may have continuous lochia that lasts for several months. ." There was a hint of schadenfreude in Chang Xi's tone.

　　"How many months has it lasted?" Shen Huiru frowned and said thoughtfully, "The sword of Concubine De is no longer needed in this palace. Fortunately, Concubine Xian, Concubine Li, Concubine Chen and others are not good at making trouble. Together, they can also defeat Li Shujing. That’s disgusting. Recently, you’ve been taking that substitute to the palace of Concubine Xian, Concubine Li and Concubine Chen.”

　　Chang Xi accepted the promise, thought for a while, and added, "Back to the empress, just now Concubine De wanted the emperor to grant a marriage to her brother. The woman is the eldest daughter of Fu Guangda, the minister of etiquette. Look at this..."

　　"Stop this for now, I will find a better one for Meng Yanzhou!" Shen Huiru had a smile on her face, but her eyes were extremely cold.

　　"Your Majesty, it's time to drink medicine." The eldest maid, Wan Qing, came in with a bowl of medicine and knelt at her feet.

　　Shen Huiru also suffered from uterine cold, but the medicine she drank was truly symptomatic, unlike Meng Sangyu's bowl. Although the medicinal materials used were exactly the same, the dosage was slightly changed, but the effect was completely opposite. This secret was also told to her privately by the emperor in order to reassure her.

　　Looking at the steaming medicine bowl, Shen Huiru's cold eyes overflowed with a hint of tenderness.

　　"Empress, you have been nursed back to health for three years and are ready to give birth to an heir." Entrusted by the Grand Master, there were some things that the late Qing Dynasty had to say.

　　Shen Huiru's eyes pierced Wan Qing's body like knives, and Wan Qing was so horrified that she immediately knelt down to apologize.

　　"I have my own opinions, so don't say more." Shen Huiru raised her head and drank the medicine, then dismissed Wan Qing and Chang Xi, and continued to review the memorial.

　　In Fengluan Palace, Concubine Li also got the news and was frowning and thinking carefully.

　　"Did you hear that right? If Concubine De had overdosed on medicine, it would be difficult for her to have an heir?" she asked a medical woman kneeling at her feet. This is Lin Yizheng's favorite medical woman.

　　"My slave, you must have heard that right. Concubine De's vaginal discharge is disordered, and she has constant lochia. She may not be able to remove it for several months." The doctor's voice was very firm.

　　"Three years of pampering, three years of medication, and finally a childless life. Meng Sangyu is also a pitiful person!..." Concubine Li sighed, convinced of what Concubine De said a few days ago.

　　"The emperor also wanted to use her to protect that bitch Shen Huiru. When he saw that her health was broken, he changed her to a virtuous concubine. Huh, it's really well-intentioned! I want to see what the emperor can do for that bitch!" She looked at her eyes There was an uncontrollable trace of resentment in his face. After taking a deep breath, he calmed down his distorted expression and rewarded the medical woman with a large amount of money and sent her away.

　　In a secret passage somewhere in the palace, Yan Junwei, who was dusty with travels, was meeting with his subordinates.

　　"Back to the Commander-in-Chief, several strongholds that Di Zi No. 9 knows have been surrounded and suppressed by Taishi Shen's men recently. We should evacuate as soon as possible without any damage." The subordinate knelt down and reported.

　　Dizi No. 9 was the code name of the former false emperor when he was a secret guard.

　　"He is just a pawn, what can he know? Master Shen is totally wrong if he thinks he can make a fuss about him." Yan Junwei sneered and motioned for his subordinates to follow him to the secret room where Emperor Zhou Wu was housed.

　　"The Shen family's father and daughter have completely committed treason. We will take the emperor out tonight and give them a torment in this palace. They'd better pray that the emperor wakes up so that they can keep his body intact in the future!" Yan Junwei said while saying While gesturing, the subordinates hiding in the darkness immediately split up and acted, and the sound of wind continued to sound.

　　"The substitute went to Concubine De earlier tonight. Concubine De's letter came unexpectedly, so he went to Concubine Xian. Commander, Concubine Xian..." The subordinate hesitated, should the emperor's woman be there? Control?

　　"Concubine De is lucky that she didn't let the substitute get involved. Concubine Xian doesn't need to worry about it. The substitute can find any woman he likes. When the emperor wakes up in the future, he will deal with these women. We only need to be responsible for the emperor's affairs. It's safe. Let's go, there's no time!" Yan Junwei urged coldly.

　　The subordinate promised to kill all the palace servants serving in the secret room, carried the body of Emperor Wu of Zhou on his back, and sneaked out of the palace through the secret passage under the protection of Yan Junwei, disappearing into the boundless night.
