Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 26

Chapter 26 unlucky

    A group of concubines were placed in the side hall of Jiangzi Palace to wait. Meng Sangyu sat alone with A Bao in his arms and did not talk to the concubines. Instead of whispering, the concubines occasionally had hidden smiles in their eyes. From time to time, she raised her head and glanced towards the main hall, with an expression on her face full of anxiety.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou also stared closely at the door of the main hall, waiting for the imperial physician to come out and report the situation. After all, he is his own son, how can he not feel distressed? I saw my son's face turned purple and his breathing almost stopped. The helpless and heart-wrenching feeling still remains in my heart.

　　But the more worried he was, the more gloomy he felt at the moment. Without him, it was only because his ears were too sensitive that the whispers of the concubines reached his ears word for word. What does "meddling in other people's business" mean? What does "why is life so big" mean? What does "really know how to act" mean? These damn women!

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou's nose twitched and he whimpered ferociously. Suddenly, I felt that the pretty, cute, or gorgeous faces in front of me were so ugly and hideous that it was disgusting.

　　While waiting, the sound of "The Emperor has arrived" came from outside the palace. All the concubines immediately put away the relaxed expressions on their faces, and all put on worried and frightened faces, and their movements were incredibly coordinated. The pale face and slightly frowned brows each have their own beauty and taste, which really makes people want to pity her involuntarily.

　　So this is how they usually deal with me? Emperor Wu of Zhou made a low, depressed sound in his throat, and felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

　　"What's wrong with Abao? Are you scared because there are too many people? It doesn't matter. We'll leave when the fifth prince is safe. Just hold on for a while, ah!" Hearing Abao's low cry, Meng Sangyu leaned over and whispered in his ear. , and finally kissed his twitching little nose.

　　The rising anger in Emperor Zhou Wu's heart was instantly dispelled by this kiss, and he hummed unconsciously, his voice becoming sweet and greasy. From the beginning, he had no choice but to accommodate to Concubine De, to later he was willing to please Concubine De, to now he is subconsciously trying to please Concubine De, and his mental journey has completely sublimated.

　　When the false emperor came in, a group of concubines were already kneeling at the palace gate to greet him. On the way, he heard the eunuch report the whole incident, and he couldn't help but be surprised by Concubine De's bravery and cleverness in coming forward. Who wouldn't stay away from this situation? But she rushed forward regardless, she was indeed a simple woman!

　　The fake emperor shook his head, but in his heart he felt more appreciation and love for Concubine De. He unconsciously searched for Concubine De, and saw her falling behind the other concubines, with her arms bulging and wrapped around his beloved pet. The image was really funny, and a deep smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.

　　"My beloved, please get up, the ground is cold, and you are weak, so be careful of getting sick. It's all thanks to you that the fifth emperor is safe today." He walked straight to Concubine De and helped her up with his own hands.

　　These tender eyes, gentle words, and careful caring demeanor were like a knife stabbing Emperor Wu of Zhou in the heart, causing him to bleed. He bared his teeth and growled lowly.

　　Meng Sangyu stood up, quickly covered Abao's mouth, and smiled flatteringly at the fake emperor. The fake emperor smiled, and the soft color in his eyes became stronger, which stung the eyes of all the concubines. I thought that Concubine De was gone, but I didn't expect that she would make a comeback and use Concubine Xian and her son as a stepping stone. What a great skill!

　　The eyes of a palace maid serving in the side hall darkened, and she quietly walked into the inner hall, reporting the situation to Concubine Xian, whose hands and feet were weak and frightened.

　　When Concubine Li arrived at the side hall, she happened to see the behavior of the fake emperor. If it were normal, she would have thought Concubine De was an eyesore like the other concubines, but now that she knew the truth, she could only smile sarcastically. The concubines on the throne came to visit after receiving the news, but your beloved is sitting quietly in the Zhongcui Palace and doesn't care about it. It's such a high profile! Since she has so much capital, why not boldly stand up and have a fight? What's the point of finding someone else to block the knife and gun for her? !

　　The thoughts in her heart were getting darker and darker, but Concubine Li's face became softer and softer. She walked over and bowed to the fake emperor. The fake emperor received Shen Huiru's instructions and ignored Concubine Li. He only helped Meng Sangyu sit down beside him and waited for the imperial doctor's diagnosis. Concubine Li was so embarrassed that she managed a smile and sat down under him.

　　After a while, two palace maids came in carrying the pale concubine who had been groomed again. When she saw the fake emperor, she took two steps quickly and saluted when her body softened. After all, they had been husband and wife for one night, and the Concubine Xian was a rare beauty. Her pale face made her look even more fragile, which made people feel pity for her.

　　The fake emperor quickly pulled her up, held her in his arms and caressed her. Concubine Xian's nose was sore and she burst into tears. She choked and said, "Your Majesty, I was scared to death just now! I thought I would never see the emperor again. How can I live in the future..."

　　The fake emperor hugged her tighter and kept comforting her softly.

　　All the concubines in the palace, except for Meng Sangyu and Li Shujing, looked at the two people hugging each other closely with jealous and hateful eyes, wishing they could change with the virtuous concubine.

　　Meng Sangyu curled his lips and just lowered his head to comfort Abao, who had a somewhat gloomy temper. Li Shujing reached for a cup of tea and sipped it slowly, looking at the two people in front of her with calm eyes, as if watching a play.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu stared closely at the two people who were almost fused into one body. After a while, he hummed and turned his eyes away indifferently. How do you say that as a folk saying goes? The sky is going to fall and Yuniang wants to get married, so let her be! Although these words are rough, they truly explain the mood of Emperor Zhou Wu at this moment. What else could he do besides stand by and watch?

　　Concubine Xian cried for a long time, but the delicate makeup on her face was not faded at all. On the contrary, she looked even more beautiful. She looked exactly like two different people from her previous embarrassed appearance in the imperial garden. It was then that she was truly sad, but now she is just acting like this. Her son is still lying inside to check his pulse, and his safety is not yet certain, but she still has the thoughts to invite favors. This woman...

　　Emperor Zhou Wu shook his head and sighed secretly in his heart. He couldn't help but think: If Sang Yu stayed by the emperor's bedside and refused to leave, he might not even come out to pick him up when he arrived, let alone get her any attention. !

　　At this moment, the attendant beside the imperial doctor came out with a prescription, saluted and greeted the fake emperor, and hurried to the pharmacy. The fake emperor quickly entered the palace with his concubines to visit the fifth prince. The concubines waited for Concubine Li and Concubine De to stand up and move before they followed.

　　The fifth prince was lying on the couch, with tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes. When he saw the fake emperor, the tears fell even more fiercely. He kept calling his father incessantly, and struggled to get up to pay tribute to his father.

　　The fake emperor quickly pushed him back to the bed, tucked him in, held his hand and comforted him softly. The concubine Xian sat on the edge of the bed and held his little head in her arms. The three of them were whispering, just like an ordinary folk family. The warm and touching scene made the concubines' eyes turn red.

　　The imperial doctor knelt at the feet of the false emperor and slowly described his condition. The general idea was that the treatment was timely and the cause of the disease was not found. He was just a little frightened and he would be fine after a few days of careful nursing.

　　The fake emperor nodded with satisfaction, looked at Meng Sangyu with extremely gentle eyes, and said to the fifth prince, "Your Majesty, your safe escape this time is all thanks to Concubine De's timely treatment. Thank you very much, Concubine De."

　　Meng Sangyu smiled slightly, and was about to wave his hands to refuse. Unexpectedly, the fifth prince actually showed a fearful and uneasy expression, and went straight into Concubine Xian's arms, shouting in a sharp voice, "No, it's all her fault that I got choked! She If she is infected with bad luck, she is like a broom star and a crow's mouth! If she hadn't cursed her son, he wouldn't have done this! She is a bad person!"

　　Is this what a three or four year old child can say? Does he know what bad luck is? What is a crow's beak? It was obvious that someone was teaching it deliberately! Besides, no matter how ugly the words of such a young child are, what can you do to him? Can you beat him and scold him? In addition to suffering, you are still suffering.

　　It is precisely because of this that Concubine Xian plotted against herself so blatantly. The emperor had been upset by the bad luck talk a while ago. After hearing what the fifth prince said, even if he didn't think much about it at the moment, he would feel resentful when he returned and would neglect himself. This forbidden palace! So dirty! Even the innocence and purity that belongs to children must be taken away!

　　Meng Sangyu sighed secretly in his heart, but the smile on his face remained calm. She didn't care about Emperor Zhou Wu's favor, not to mention that the person in front of her was a fake, so she wouldn't care even less.

　　"It seems that the fifth prince is indeed too frightened and is a little incoherent. It's better for me to leave first, so as not to irritate him." Meng Sangyu wrapped up Abao, who suddenly became frantic, and bowed to the fake emperor to leave.

　　The fake emperor was helpless and waved her away.

　　As soon as he stepped out of the hall, a cold wind hit his face, making Meng Sangyu shiver uncontrollably. She quickly covered A Bao's face with her hands, blocking him from the cold wind. The furious Emperor Wu of Zhou immediately calmed down, and his turbulent mind calmed down bit by bit. Sang Yu doesn't care, so what else does he care about? However, an ungrateful woman is not worthy of his concern. She just pities his fifth emperor's son. She is still used by her mother during her illness. What should she do if her temperament changes in the future?

　　At this time, he remembered what Sang Yu had said before, that there is no hate without love. Instead of wasting feelings on irrelevant people, it is better to love yourself well. In this palace, even three- and four-year-old children can stab others with knives. If you really want to care about everything, you really won't be able to survive! His heart gradually tightened, and the continuous severe pain made Emperor Zhou Wu couldn't help but scream. How could Sang Yu be so disappointed in human nature to have such a thorough understanding? How much suffering did she suffer when she couldn't see? He didn't dare to imagine it at all.

　　"Okay, we're out now. Don't be afraid, Ah Bao! We'll go home right away." Meng Sangyu comforted the restless Ah Bao by scratching his chin.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu felt even more sorry for her. Seeing her heartless look, he became deeply annoyed. He bared his teeth and grinned, and took her cold fingers into his mouth. Not daring to use force, he grinded his teeth a few times as if to vent his anger, wanting to melt the cold finger into his mouth.

　　"Sister De Fei, take a step slowly." A gentle female voice came from behind, interrupting the warm interaction between the two masters.

　　Seeing that the visitor was Concubine Li, Meng Sangyu knelt down and bowed.

　　"There's no need to be polite." Concubine Li stepped forward to hold her arm, and whispered in a friendly manner, "My sister was reckless today. She knew that Concubine Xian was such an ungrateful person, so she shouldn't have interfered with her affairs. It's better now. , I didn’t even say a word of thanks, but I was covered in dirty water.”

　　"She said her, I rescued you, I just need to have a clear conscience." Meng Sangyu smiled lightly, his attitude was extremely open-minded.

　　Concubine Li's eyes quickly flashed with appreciation. He has scheming and means, but his conscience is still intact, and he maintains the most basic principles of life. There are not many people like this in this palace! But precisely because of this, he would feel at ease by cooperating with De Fei.

　　Thinking of this, Concubine Li asked tentatively, "Sister, are you planning to live like this for the rest of your life? You know, it is extremely difficult to live in this palace without children and no love. Why don't you cooperate with me? I will replace you after my wish is fulfilled." How about you find a child to raise by your side?"

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou bared his teeth and thought unhappily: Why does Sang Yu want to interfere with your affairs? No matter how many children she wants, I will give them to her in the future, children that are truly our own!

　　"I accept the empress's kindness, but I am disheartened. I really have no fighting spirit. Now I just want to stay quietly in Bixiao Palace and spend my days leisurely." Meng Sangyu waved with a smile.

　　"Yeah, forget it. If you change your mind, or if you need anything, just send someone to find me." Concubine Li said warmly with some compassion in her eyes.

　　"I would like to thank you, my concubine. I would also like to advise you, if you don't fight, you will fight." Seeing that Concubine Li was somewhat sincere towards her, Meng Sangyu couldn't help but say one more thing.

　　"If you don't fight, do you fight? Ha~ In my position, how many pairs of eyes are staring behind you, how many hands are pushing behind you. If I don't fight, what will happen..." Hiding the unfinished words, Concubine Li shook her head. Head away.

　　Meng Sangyu and Emperor Zhou Wu looked at her thin but firm back for a long time, and sighed together.
