Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 32
Chapter 32 Sougong
The next day was calm and nothing happened. Aunt Feng sent people to keep an eye on Xia Dong, Lan Xin, and Huixin, and secretly searched their bedrooms while the three were on duty, but no suspicious items were found. The rooms of other palace residents were also spared. Although some secretive things were found, they had nothing to do with the witchcraft incident, so Grandma Feng didn't pay much attention to them.
Towards the end of the night, the emperor suddenly suffered an emergency in Zhongcui Palace. He had a splitting headache and was almost crazy. All the doctors from the Imperial Hospital were dispatched, but they could not figure out the reason. They stayed up until the morning and the severe pain still did not subside, so they had to forcefully The emperor was given a calming decoction, supplemented with silver needles, to let him sleep for a while.
That day's morning court was canceled due to the emperor's sudden illness. When the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the capital. The emperor's body does not belong to the emperor alone, but to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The emperor's well-being is a top priority related to the people's livelihood of the Great Zhou Dynasty. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the palace.
Several concubines knelt down in front of the Qianqing Palace when they saw that the imperial doctors could not find any problems after taking turns to diagnose and treat the problem. They suggested that the emperor invite the imperial master to come and have a look. Taoism was the state religion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the highest Taoist master, Taiqing Zhenren, was canonized as a national teacher by the late emperor. The title of Imperial Master is only an honorary title and cannot participate in the politics of the Zhou Dynasty.
In Bixiao Palace, Meng Sangyu curled up his lips after hearing the news and said slowly, "It's finally here."
"Mother, are you okay?" Nanny Feng's palms were a little sweaty.
"Don't worry, let them come. They'll slap me in the face one by one when they come. I'm not in a good mood today!" The smile on Meng Sangyu's lips deepened, looking a little evil.
Emperor Wu of Zhou was bewitched by her smile, and his heart beat wildly. He had never seen such a monster Sang Yu, like a seducing and depraved monster.
Seeing her strategizing look, Grandma Feng's heart slowly fell to the ground. She agreed and retreated, secretly keeping an eye on the palace guests coming and going in the palace, especially Xia Dong, Lan Xin and Huixin.
The emperor accepted the opinions of several concubines and immediately summoned the imperial advisor to the palace. After the imperial advisor gave the emperor a bowl of talismanic water, the emperor's severe pain miraculously disappeared. The Imperial Master walked to the palace gate and made some calculations, saying that there was an evil spirit at work in the northwest hall of the palace, which was most likely related to the emperor's sudden strange illness.
The emperor was horrified and immediately assigned a group of imperial guards to the imperial advisor and asked him to lead the imperial guards to search the northwest palaces. It was said that it was the northwest palaces, but the Imperial Master just looked along the road, then made a few hand gestures, and headed straight towards the Bixiao Palace.
At the same time, in Bixiao Palace, Meng Sangyu was dressing up slowly in front of the glazed mirror. She painted her face even paler, and her lips were as red as blood. The slightly upward corners of her eyes were blackened, thickened and lengthened with charcoal pencil to make the upward arc more obvious. Coupled with her eyebrows that flew diagonally into her temples, This bright and radiant face immediately became astonishingly powerful, and her dark eyes were as bright as cold stars. When she looked sideways at her, even Aunt Feng and others who were used to seeing her did not dare to look at her.
Emperor Zhou Wu was also startled. Without the interference of color, this black and white face stood out more clearly, and his aura as sharp as a knife became more distinct. How could this be the Sangyu who was playful, gentle, and elegant at other times? He is clearly a monster! But he is an astonishingly beautiful monster!
Meng Sangyu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Abao trembling slightly. With this smile, the soul-stirring aura dissipated, like an illusion. Grandma Feng and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The empress is so scary like this, may God bless the Imperial Master!
"Bring me my court robe, full-length armor, and hairpin." Meng Sangyu said lazily.
Aunt Feng and others promised to put on the extremely luxurious first-grade court clothes for her, then put on the court beads, inserted the steps, Huasheng, and put on the gold silk armor sets in her hands. Just standing there and raising an eyebrow is enough for Meng Sangyu, who is all dressed up, to make people tremble. Looking at the entire harem, I am afraid that no one in the entire harem can match this graceful and luxurious yet sharp aura.
Emperor Zhou Wu looked up at her with a startled expression on his face.
"Okay, the equipment is all ready. I haven't worn this shirt for a long time. I'm really not used to it!" Meng Sangyu smoothed the folds of his clothes, turned to look at Aunt Feng and asked, "Auntie, do I have a generation of demon concubines? What’s your style?”
"Yes, yes! No one is more seductive than you!" Nanny Feng praised without thinking. Bi Shui and Yin Cui suppressed their laughter and turned red in the face.
Emperor Zhou Wu came out of his daze and heard the conversation between the master and the servant. The expression on his face was a little weird, and then he started laughing. How could Sang Yu be so elfin and so cute! Would any of the enchanting concubines describe themselves like this?
"That's good. Bring your cool and noble style to me, and go to the palace gate to meet the Imperial Master." Meng Sangyu carefully avoided the armor cover, took A Bao into his arms, and led all the palaces People walked towards the palace gate in large numbers.
As soon as they set up their posture, the Imperial Master arrived with a group of imperial guards. Seeing Concubine De blocking the door, he quickly led everyone to salute.
Meng Sangyu sat lazily in a large carved chair, holding his beloved pet in his arms, caressing him every now and then. His black and white eyes were as bright as cold stars, and when he glanced at the Imperial Master, he made the Imperial Master's heart melt. There was a sudden hit.
"What's the matter with the Imperial Master here?" Her voice was a little erratic and cold, and her face was gentle but she had a somewhat aggressive attitude.
The former No. 1 favorite concubine was indeed very powerful and difficult to deal with. The imperial master secretly clenched the Buddha dust in his hand and bowed to reply, "I discovered that there was an evil atmosphere in the palace of the empress. The emperor's dragon body was in severe pain when it was hit by this evil energy. Please also ask the empress to give me a cure. It’s convenient, let Pindao bring someone into the palace to check it out.”
"How can I let a group of grown men inspect my palace at will? Where do you put me and the emperor?" Meng Sangyu said quietly. The pet on her lap twitched its nose and let out a ferocious growl.
The aggressive auras of the two masters and pets are so similar, it's really weird! The Imperial Master felt a little sad, and after calming down, he said, "I am also thinking of the emperor's dragon body, and I also ask the empress to agree. When the emperor is safe, I will come to apologize to the empress!"
The words have reached this point, and if you disagree any more, you will be labeled as disloyal. Meng Sangyu glanced at him and relaxed slightly, "Are you sure that this problem lies with me?"
"Pindao has opened his eyes, and he can see this evil spirit for real." The Imperial Master spoke firmly.
Meng Sangyu smiled sarcastically, and Emperor Zhou Wu also cursed "magic stick" in his heart. When he comes back to his soul, he will get rid of all these magic sticks. He has long been tired of these people preaching about the way of elixir and immortality all day long.
"If you just go in and turn my Bixiao Palace upside down, how will I behave in the palace in the future?" Meng Sangyu asked again.
"Pindao can tell what the problem is just by looking at it, and he will never touch your wife's things carelessly. If there is no problem, Pindao will take the people out immediately." The national master replied patiently.
"Just take a look? The Imperial Preceptor is so virtuous! If there is no problem with my Bixiao Palace, how will the Imperial Preceptor be treated? My father fought bloody battles at the border. How many sons of the Meng family army sacrificed their lives for the country? The loyal sun and moon of the Meng family But it shows that heaven and earth can draw lessons from this, but the Imperial Preceptor slandered me as a witchcraft and harmed the Emperor. The Imperial Preceptor must be responsible for his words and deeds!" Meng Sangyu set a trap word by word.
The Imperial Preceptor had already received the exact information from Liang Fei. He thought that Meng Sangyu was struggling to his death, so he swore a vow to enter the palace to investigate without thinking.
"Okay!" Meng Sangyu curled his lips and sneered, "I, Bixiao Palace, can let you search, but I can't let you search easily. Listen carefully, I will give you a quarter of an hour. If there is any problem, I will admit it." If he cannot be found, the Imperial Master will have to kneel at the gate of Shenwu Sect for three days and three nights to apologize to me, and from then on he will resign from the position of Imperial Master, and the Taoist title of Master Taiqing will be removed, and he will no longer be able to ask questions in eternal life."
"Yes!" Thinking of the glory and wealth in the future, the Imperial Master gritted his teeth and agreed.
"And you," Meng Sangyu pointed at a group of imperial guards with a gold-plated hand, "Anyone who participates in the search of the palace, I will send people to search your body first. Don't bring in any dirty things and get into trouble." Go to the head of this palace. If it turns out that there is no problem with my Bixiao Palace afterwards, each of you will need to be punished with eighty sticks, and the leader will be punished with one hundred. If you agree, go in and search."
"This..." Eighty strokes of the rod can kill someone, let alone a hundred? The leading guard was hesitant, half-kneeling and said, "I would like to ask your Majesty to allow me to report back to the Emperor. Please wait for a moment."
"Okay, go ahead and ask." Meng Sangyu flicked the bullet holster and said casually.
In the Palace of Qianqing, Shen Huiru was reviewing the memorial. When she heard the report from the Imperial Guards, she sneered, "Promise her, she won't be able to do anything except struggle to the death!" The nail was buried so deep that no matter how she discovered something was wrong, she No time to make amends.
The team leader came back quickly to report the situation, and then allowed the palace officials of Bixiao Palace to search them one by one. Even their jade pendants and purses were taken away, and then they were led straight to the dormitory by the imperial master.
Meng Sangyu followed slowly, with a sarcastic smile on his lips as he watched the Imperial Master wander around the vase. Emperor Wu of Zhou watched with red eyes a group of people looting Sang Yu's dormitory, and remembered these faces deeply in his mind.
The imperial master looked enigmatic, holding Buddha dust in one hand and a compass in the other. After pretending to test it, he ordered the imperial guards to overturn the vase. Water flowed all over the ground, and a few wish-fulfilling bamboo trees were scattered, but there was nothing else.
The Imperial Master's heartbeat was a little fast, and Lan Xin, who was hidden in the crowd, turned pale. Bishui and Yincui, who had been paying attention to Lan Xin and the others, exchanged understanding expressions.
Fortunately, there is a backup plan! The Imperial Master secretly rejoiced, and while making hand gestures, he walked towards the bed and said to the Imperial Guards, "There is evil here! Go in and take a look!"
A praetorian guard accepted the promise and crawled under the bed and groped carefully.
The evil smile spread across Meng Sangyu's face, and Abao snorted lightly.
"You have to hurry up, the quarter hour is coming." She reminded her loudly, glancing at the hourglass in the hall.
"Please save me, I won't waste your time. Please let me see the main hall again." The imperial master's face was pale and his voice was trembling. A group of imperial guards lost their arrogance when they first entered the palace.
Meng Sangyu raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to make a "please" gesture, which made the group of people even more frightened.
Naturally, nothing was found in the main hall. The Imperial Master knew that Concubine Liang's plan had been seen through, and any further search would be in vain. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he knelt down in front of Empress Dowager De, trembling.
"My father worked hard for Dazhou, but I didn't expect that I would be slandered and suspected by others. If the crime of harming the emperor is found to be true, you will force me to death!" Meng Sangyu raised his head and sighed.
"I dare not, please forgive me!" The Imperial Master kowtowed loudly. All the glory and wealth, all the power and status, it’s over, it’s all over! After today, how will he still be able to gain a foothold in the Great Zhou Dynasty? After bullying the descendants of the Meng family, the people of Zhou Dynasty could drown him with just a spit of spit! The good reputation he had accumulated for half his life was gone!
"If you want to confess, go to the gate of Shenwu Gate to confess! Someone, drag him down!" Meng Sangyu waved his hand, and the guards of Bixiao Palace quickly threw the Imperial Master out of the palace gate.
A group of imperial guards were already kneeling in the open space in front of the hall. Meng Sangyu didn't even look at them. He picked up a travel journal and flipped through it. He ordered the palace people, "Hit me hard! Please be louder when you count. I am listening in the palace!" He said so. She's not joking about getting slapped in the face one by one!
The sound of crackling sticks outside the palace could be heard endlessly. Every time there was a blow, the palace servants would loudly report the number to Concubine De. The Bixiao Palace was filled with excitement and the sky was filled with people's attention. Even the Imperial Guards who were directly affiliated with the emperor dared to beat her so violently. Concubine De was the only one in the palace. She had asked the emperor beforehand, but this was her usual style. It was hard for others to say anything. , Didn’t you see that even the emperor in Qianqing Palace was silent?
Emperor Wu of Zhou was nestled in the woman's arms, with the screams of the imperial guards in his ears and her evil smile in his eyes. Suddenly, he felt his heart beating like a pounding and it was difficult to control himself. Such a mulberry tree was so strange and evil that it emitted a scorching light like the sun, firmly attracting all his attention. He was so arrogant and domineering that I found extremely disgusting in the past, but now he looks cute no matter how I look at him. Could this be the legendary beauty in the eye of the beholder?
Thinking of this, his dog blushed and buried his head in his paws like a thief.
When the rod duty was over, almost none of the guards could stand up, and a few were even beaten to death on the spot. After hearing the news, the emperor sent a team of guards to carry them out, and rewarded them with many valuable things to appease them. The heart of the concubine. Concubine De knelt down to accept the reward, but because of this, she closed the palace door and asked to be grounded. The emperor could no longer push her aggressively, so he had to let her go.
When the news spread to the palace, people all over the capital were in an uproar. Concubine De, she is the queen of meritorious service! Meng Guogong is still fighting bloody battles on the frontier, but his daughter is slandered like this. This is a clear persecution of loyalty! Master Taiqing, who was kneeling at the city gate to apologize, was almost beaten to death by a rotten egg, and would never be able to gain a foothold in Dazhou in the future. Several concubines who suggested to the emperor that he invite the imperial advisor to the palace for inspection were directly thrown into the cold palace on charges of deceiving the public with their lies. That group of Imperial Guards has since disappeared.
This incident not only failed to bring down Concubine De and the Meng family, but also caused a loss of troops and a severe loss of vitality. Shen Huiru's face turned livid with anger, and she asked the imperial doctor that day because of her depression.
