Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Insider

    Meng Sangyu gritted his teeth secretly, took two steps back, hugged A Bao and sat on an embroidered pier behind him, his face suddenly turning black and white and very solemn.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu stared at her face nervously, fearing that she would lose control of her emotions and hurt herself. This move was too sinister. It seemed to be targeting Concubine De, but in fact it was targeting Duke Meng and even the entire Meng family. If this crime is carried out, no one among the nine Meng family clans will survive.

　　Nanny Feng picked up the witchcraft doll on the ground. Her hands were shaking violently and she asked in a trembling voice, "Mother, based on the birth date, the person who cursed is most likely the emperor!"

　　"The one who cursed this is the Emperor." Meng Sangyu said coldly through gritted teeth. Aunt Feng didn't know the emperor's birth date, but she and her father knew it.

　　"If this thing is found out! We, we..." Nanny Feng's eyes were splitting, and she was so filled with hatred that she could no longer speak. Bishui, Yincui, and the two eunuchs have spontaneously started to clean up the water in the palace. They must restore the main hall and vases to their original state. This was a dangerous thing to think about, but fortunately, the empress discovered it early and there was still room for saving.

　　Meng Sangyu smiled miserably and said in a cold and deep tone, "The witchcraft conspired to kill the emperor. The greater my father's contribution this time, the greater the crime of our Meng family. Think about it when the daughter of a general with a million troops in his hands cursed the emperor. , what are you trying to do? Want to imitate Taizu and start an army to rebel? If I really get the idea, the Meng family will never be able to get away with the crime of seeking to usurp the throne! They couldn't touch my father, so they started with me, forcing me to plead guilty and put me under house arrest. When my father returned to the palace to express gratitude, he set up a trap to capture his father. He listed all these unfounded crimes, and then pushed us out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded us. Then he quickly destroyed the Duke's palace and the nine Meng family clans, and even everyone was called "Qui". Not even giving him a chance. By the time the Meng family army gets the news, things have become irreversible. What a vicious strategy!"

　　By the time she finished speaking, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, her face turned pale, and waves of chills came over her heart. She could only hold A Bao tightly to keep warm. Emperor Wu of Zhou tightly held her arm with his claws, trying his best to give her some warmth. What Sang Yu could think of, how could he not think of it? Now his eyes were blood red and his anger was surging.

　　Kill Zhongliang and bring trouble to Chao Gang! The Shen family has fallen to this point. When he returns to his soul in the future, the first thing he will do is to order the Shen family to confiscate the entire family and exterminate the entire clan! Taste the bitter fruit of their own brew!

　　Meng Sangyu rubbed A Bao's back with his cheek. Seeing that Yin Cui and others had cleaned up the hall, some of the remaining water had been roasted by the earth dragon and emitted wisps of white smoke, which would soon disappear without a trace. The panic slowly subsided. Now is not the time to be afraid!

　　She calmed down, rubbed Abao's little ears, and said softly, "Baby, I know you can understand. Listen, help me smell everywhere in Bixiao Palace, but there are other abnormalities. , and then help me find the person who is causing trouble. Once you find it, I’ll help the baby get through it, okay?”

　　Even if you don’t tell me, I will help you! Even if it's a dog, I can protect you! Emperor Wu of Zhou barked twice and sniffed around the palace with his nose twitching. Sure enough, if one thing comes out, there are two. In order to be safe, this man not only threw a witchcraft doll in the vase, but also posted a human-shaped talisman under Meng Sangyu's bed. The talisman had the birth date of Emperor Wu of Zhou written on it, and also drew a Many evil and ferocious spells.

　　Meng Sangyu messed up the dishes in the side hall and made them look like they had been eaten, and waited for Abao to check out the dormitory. She wasn't in the mood to eat at the moment, but in order to confuse the ghost outside the palace, she had to act like she didn't know anything.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou was not in the mood to eat. Meng Sangyu held out a bowl of porridge to feed him, but he shook his head and refused. If he doesn't explore the entire Bixiao Palace as soon as possible and get Sang Yu out of danger, how can he eat it? This was the first time that he felt lucky to be a dog. Otherwise, Sang Yu would have been killed!

　　After exploring the dormitory, he then ran to the side hall and the main hall. He did not dare to miss the study, the wing room, the garden, and every corner of the Bixiao Palace. Meng Sangyu ran panting behind him, looking like a master and his beloved. Just playful. The people in Bixiao Palace have long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and they all saluted and watched with smiles in their eyes.

　　Passing by a wing where palace residents lived, Emperor Wu of Zhou stopped and slipped in through the crack in the door. In the room were three palace maids aged fifteen or sixteen, sitting around the fire cage chatting. When they saw Abao coming in, they were all stunned, and then their eyes burst into light.

　　"Ah Bao, come here quickly!" One of the maids smiled and waved to Ah Bao.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou walked over and sniffed the hand of the palace maid. After sniffing one, he switched to another. After sniffing one by one, he was confused because the three women in the room all used the same rouge. The incense and the same hair oil all smell the same. There really isn’t much difference. He clearly knew that the person causing the ghost was one of them, but he couldn't tell the difference! If it were a real dog, it would be able to make correct judgments based on instinct. It's a pity that he inherited the dog's sense of smell, but he doesn't know how to use this instinct.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu grunted twice, feeling very frustrated.

　　"Abao, it turns out you came here!" Meng Sangyu appeared at the door at the right time, looking like he was looking for him, and stretched out his hand to Abao. The three maids quickly stood up and saluted their master.

　　Putting aside the frustration in his heart, Abao quickly jumped into Meng Sangyu's arms, his little tail wagging happily. Meng Sangyu picked him up from his armpits, kissed his little mouth, and said quietly while the maids were saluting, "Point it out to me, which one it is."

　　"Everyone, get up." After putting down Abao, Meng Sangyu called the palace maid and looked at the three of them without leaving any trace.

　　She not only knew these three people, but was also very familiar with them. The youngest among them was named Xia Dong. She was a new palace maid this year. Her family background was quite clean and she was also very simple and lovely. Meng Sangyu fell in love with her at a glance and promoted her to the palace herself. Come to Bixiao Palace. The other two, the taller one named Lan Xin and the shorter one named Hui Xin, were chosen by Meng's father from thousands of sons born in the Meng family and then sent to the palace with great pains. Because she once said that she would send Yincui and Bishui out of the palace to get married when they were older, so that they would not have to die with her in the palace, so Lan Xin and Huixin were the best candidates to take over the positions of Bishui and Yincui as palace maids in the future. Meng Sangyu usually relies on the two of them and trusts them very much.

　　No matter who among the three betrayed him, Meng Sangyu felt uncomfortable, but he had to admire the strength of the person who set up the trap. She had already reached into Meng's house, and the nails were still buried so deep. If Abao hadn't been clever, she would never have been able to escape this time.

　　Thinking of this, she looked at Abao with soft eyes. The little guy turned left and right around the three of them, sniffing left and right, barking twice at everyone's side, and then ran to her feet with a pair of wet black eyes full of guilt. . Seeing his appearance, Meng Sangyu understood what he was doing. After asking the three of them a few words, he picked up Abao and left, without arousing the trio's alertness at all.

　　After the master had gone away, the three of them sat around the fire again, talking and laughing. It was hard to tell who was innocent and who was guilty.

　　"Empress, you are back." After a long distance, Yincui and Bishui walked up to greet their master and pet. The sky had completely darkened, and lanterns had been lit in the palace. Under the bright red lanterns, their faces were covered with a reddish color, making them look very warm.

　　A hint of smile appeared on Meng Sangyu's cold expression, he nodded slightly, and returned to the dormitory with A Bao in his arms. There was a witch doll and two charms on the table in the bedroom. In addition to under the bed, this person also posted a charm on the mezzanine of the screen in the main hall. The location is so secretive. If Po hadn't had a keen sense of smell, who would have discovered it?

　　"Your Majesty, did you find nothing strange in the other palaces?" Yin Cui asked in a low voice.

　　"No more. Just these three places. Thank you for your hard work today, Abao!" Meng Sangyu shook his head.

　　Bishui reported the investigation to his master, "Mother, I asked you secretly. The eunuch who was on duty outside the dormitory left for a while today. He has no idea who came in without authorization. Of course, it is possible that he was the one who robbed him. .”

　　"No, this person, Abao, has been found. He is one of Xia Dong, Lan Xin, and Huixin. It may also be two of them, or a trio of them. In short, just keep an eye on the three of them. , please don’t alert others before this matter is over.”

　　"Yes." Bishui and Yincui bowed in agreement.

　　"Thanks to Ah Bao today! Without Ah Bao, our Meng family would be doomed!" Meng Sangyu picked up Ah Bao in his arms and kept kissing him on the face.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu hummed, squinting his eyes to enjoy the woman's enthusiasm and initiative, and stretched out his tongue to lick and kiss her back. He was very happy today. Sang Yu had always been protecting him, but he never expected that he could also protect Sang Yu. This sense of satisfaction and accomplishment could not be compared to the moment he ascended the throne.

　　The kiss was over, and Abao's empty stomach suddenly let out a scream, which was very harsh in the quiet hall. Emperor Wu of Zhou covered his face with his paws, and a burst of blood rushed to his head. He has never been so embarrassed! Thinking about it, he is an emperor and a noble prince before he ascended the throne. Who would let him starve?

　　Meng Sangyu smiled, pulled down his paw, rubbed his belly and comforted him, "I'm hungry too! Let's go to the small kitchen to see if grandma has prepared the ingredients. I'll make a stew for A Bao." Buddha jumped over the wall."

　　It was already past meal time, and the lights were still on in the small dining room. Aunt Feng and two maids were busy, and she quickly saluted when she saw the master coming in.

　　"Are the ingredients ready?" Meng Sangyu put Ah Bao on the table aside and told him to stay away from the stove fire. Meng Sangyu rolled up his sleeves while asking.

　　"Everything that needs to be soaked has been soaked, and it's time to stew." Grandma Feng said, pointing to the ingredients on the side.

　　Meng Sangyu nodded, put ginger slices, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, chicken, shrimp, tripe, abalone, shark's fin and other ingredients layer by layer into the earthen pot, stir-fried the broth, poured it in, put it in the steamer and simmered it slowly.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu looked at her busy back quietly. She changed into the most ordinary dress, her hair was wrapped in a blue cloth, without any decoration, but he felt that Sang Yu was the most beautiful like this, more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen. She is like an ordinary woman, busy just so that her husband can have a sip of hot soup when he comes home. Because of this fantasy, Emperor Zhou Wu's heart couldn't stop trembling.

　　The dining room was warm, and the aroma of food gradually spread. After putting out the fire, the master and his beloved sat directly on the stools in the dining room and drank soup without returning to the bedroom. There were no magnificent furnishings or hordes of servants, but Emperor Wu of Zhou felt very satisfied as long as he saw the smiling faces of the people opposite him, and the soup in his mouth became the most rare delicacy in the world.

　　The day started with a cold wind, but ended in warmth and tranquility.
