Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Accident (1)

　　The news that Concubine De had beaten the Imperial Guards with a stick spread throughout the capital like it had grown legs. Some people say that Concubine De was arrogant because she dared to slap the emperor in the face. However, seeing that Concubine De has closed the palace door tightly and ignored worldly affairs since then, this argument of being arrogant because of favor is untenable. My father has made such extraordinary achievements at the border. Isn't it time to please the emperor and show off his power? However, Concubine De stayed behind closed doors, which shows that she was hurt by the emperor's suspicion!

　　Regardless of the praise or criticism from the outside world, Meng Sangyu ignored it and only closed the door to deal with the inner ghost.

　　"Does this thing look familiar?" Meng Sangyu threw a cloth bag in front of Xia Dong, Lan Xin and Huixin who were kneeling below. The cloth bag was rolled up loosely and spread out automatically when it fell to the ground, revealing the witchcraft doll and two charms inside.

　　Seeing such evil things, the three people's expressions all changed, and then they kowtowed in denial. Looking at their identical frightened expressions, it's hard to tell who is the one with ulterior motives when put together.

　　Bishui approached his master and whispered back the results of his surveillance. All three are suspected, but Lan Xin's abnormal behavior is obviously more. Lan Xin vaguely heard her name from Bishui's mouth, and the sound of kowtowing became louder. After a while, her forehead was bruised and she was covered in cold sweat. She was extremely nervous now.

　　As she became nervous, the smell of rouge mixed with sweat became more obvious. Emperor Zhou Wu moved his nose, jumped off Meng Sangyu's knees, walked up to Lan Xin and barked. That’s it! Can’t be wrong!

　　"Lan Xin, Ah Bao has identified you, and you still don't admit it? Ah Bao clearly remembers the smell you left on the vase, bed, and screen!" Meng Sangyu spoke lazily, her face still covered with makeup. It's sharp and domineering, making people afraid to look directly at it.

　　Xia Dong and Huixin both looked at Lan Xin with disbelief.

　　"Mother, mother..." Lan Xin's body was shaking so hard that she couldn't even speak. She finally knew where she had been exposed. I didn't expect that I would be defeated by a little beast.

　　But being able to avoid Duke Meng's sharp eyes and successfully lurk beside Concubine De for two years was not an easy feat for her. She quickly calmed down and argued, "Back to the empress, my loyalty to the empress can be seen from the sun and the moon. Please Your Majesty is aware of this! A Bao is just a beast, how can he react accurately? Servants often serve in the palace, so it is normal for the smell of slaves to remain in the palace."

　　"Abao, come here." Meng Sangyu ignored her and waved to Abao, who looked fierce. When Ah Bao jumped on her lap, she kissed Ah Bao's little nose and said, "I'll tell you the truth. Ah Bao thinks it's you. No matter what you say, I won't believe it. You don't need to defend yourself." , I will not force you to ask who instigated you. I know clearly in my heart that I will definitely want that person to look good in the future. As for you, just kill me with a cane, and your family will go down to meet you soon."

　　"My Majesty, please don't! I beg your Majesty to spare this slave's family! It's none of their business that this slave was confused for a moment!" Knowing that her master always speaks the truth and acts resolutely, Lan Xin screamed in despair, kneeling in front of her master to hug her Hold her legs and beg for mercy.

　　The eunuch at the door came up and dragged her down with a wink, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief. The begging for mercy stopped suddenly, and was replaced by the dull sound of a stick outside the door.

　　There was silence in the hall, Xia Dong and Hui Xin had already collapsed on the ground, their faces expressionless. Meng Sangyu waved his hand tiredly and asked someone to take them down.

　　"Burn these harmful things. The emperor is still unconscious. Burn a few more volumes of Buddhist scriptures to eliminate his karma." From his womb to the Great Zhou Dynasty, Meng Sangyu still believed in the matter of the soul. Even if he didn't like Emperor Wu of Zhou, he still believed in it. She won't take the initiative to harm the other party. Whether the other party lives or dies depends on God's will. She just goes with the flow.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu hummed in emotion and licked the woman's white wrist. Now the only one who is still thinking about himself in coma is Sang Yu. Shen Huiru really wanted him to die. These witch dolls and charms were genuine.

　　"Yes." Yincui and Bishui took the small cloth bag to the dining room and threw the cloth bag into the furnace and turned it into ashes.

　　Aunt Feng poured her master a cup of tea and said hesitantly, "Mother, Lan Xin's father and mother have passed away. There are only one brother and one sister left in the family. They are still half-grown children. Please spare their lives."

　　"Spare them?" Meng Sangyu's hand squeezing Abao's ears suddenly became harder.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu bared his teeth and suppressed the pain in his ears. He raised his head and looked at the woman who suddenly turned cold with worried eyes.

　　"I spared her family, has she ever thought of sparing my family? If I really fell into her trap, I, you, Bishui, Yincui, father, mother, brother, the two thousand members of the Meng family, and even It’s Ah Bao, he can’t escape death! I only want to take the lives of their family of three, which is considered merciful to her. Since she dares to do it, she must dare to do it, she should have expected this result! "

　　Exhaling a breath, she looked blankly and asked in a deep voice, "Do you still remember Su Jieyu?"

　　Grandma Feng's face was full of shame, and she spoke carefully, "But Su Jieyu who suddenly fell ill and died last night?"

　　"That's her. Do you still remember the two maids beside her? A pair of sisters?" Meng Sangyu asked again.

　　"Remember," Mammy Feng nodded, "my sister was demoted to the clothing bureau by Su Jieyu because she made a mistake. After Su Jieyu's sudden death, my sister was spotted by Concubine Chen and wanted to have her. Now she is the eldest maid beside her. Her sister has also been kicked out of the Clothes Bureau and is working as a second-class maid in Concubine Chen's palace."

　　"Died of a sudden illness? What a sudden death of a sudden illness! In the middle of winter, if the earth dragon was burned in the house, four more braziers would be added. No matter how afraid Su Jieyu was of the cold, she would not be so afraid. The charcoal was burning so brightly that the people in the palace The doors and windows were closed tightly, leaving no gaps. Someone deliberately wanted to suffocate her to death. The charcoal would burn the air in the palace and emit toxic gases. Su Jieyu died of poisoning. The person who did this was besides Who else could be the maid who stayed on duty for her at night? It’s a pity that the imperial doctor didn’t understand the principle and easily allowed the culprit to escape. To eradicate the root, Su Jieyu died because of her soft heart. As for Concubine Chen, she had this matter It won't be clean either." Realizing that his hand was too strong, Meng Sangyu quickly let go of Abao's ears and kissed his forehead apologetically.

　　Su Jieyu was frail and sick, and she was extremely low-key. She died silently. He had never heard anything about it, but he didn't expect that there was such filth hidden in it. These harem women were far more ruthless than he imagined, and while he pushed Sang Yu to the forefront, forcing her to fight to protect herself, he also hated her method of protecting herself. It really is……

　　Emperor Zhou Wu didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, he just wished he could slap himself hard. But his soul had gradually adapted to Abao's body, and Abao's reflex arc was extremely short, so he actually hit him with his claws a few times. After the beating, he himself was stunned, and could only smile bitterly at his increasingly uncontrollable instincts.

　　Seeing Abao patting his face with his little paws, looking funny and tight, Meng Sangyu laughed softly, and the depression in his chest also dissipated.

　　She looked at the dumbfounded Nanny Feng and said helplessly, "Nanny, in order to protect myself, I have to do something. If I let the Lan Xin family go today, how will I frighten the servants in my hands in the future? Can I still believe it? Who? If those two children stay, there is no guarantee that they will not be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives. If they insist on avenging their sister, they may cause two more disasters in the future. A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest. Don’t underestimate anyone, especially Is your enemy."

　　Nanny Feng had already been told that her face turned pale and she nodded in agreement. Emperor Wu of Zhou was immersed in the words "A embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest", and thinking of the devastated court, he had mixed feelings for a while.

　　The witchcraft incident passed just like that, and the palace was peaceful for a while, but unexpectedly, another big incident broke out on this day. The fifth prince who was choked by longan should have recovered a long time ago, but he became weaker and weaker as time went by. In less than a month, he was already terminally ill and no medicine could cure him. Concubine Xian was in great mourning and called all the doctors to consult the fifth prince. The result was that the fifth prince was not ill, but poisoned. The poison was in the decoction the fifth prince drank every day. Due to its extremely high toxicity, the fifth prince could not be saved from being poisoned for more than twenty days.

　　The wise concubine collapsed in tears in front of the Qianqing Palace. The emperor was furious and vowed to investigate the poisoning incident thoroughly. Everyone in the palace is in danger and is afraid of being implicated.

　　In the Bixiao Palace, Meng Sangyu was practicing calligraphy in the study. A Bao was squatting on the desk, placing his little paws on the ink sticks and grinding them back and forth gracefully. The picture was a bit funny, but very warm.

　　Nanny Feng knocked on the door, quickly reported the matter, and then looked at her master with worried eyes.

　　"Don't worry, doesn't Concubine Xian think I'm unlucky? After saving the fifth prince, I never touched her in Jiangzi Palace again, and I didn't even send a gift of condolences. This matter has nothing to do with us." Meng Sangyu put down his pen, After pondering for a while, he said, "This matter is most probably for Concubine Li. I have guarded the palace gate these days and don't let anyone else come in. If I am not mistaken, there will be a lot of trouble in the palace. There is a sea change."

　　"Oh, I know this." Nanny Feng agreed solemnly.

　　Meng Sangyu took a deep breath, spread out a piece of raw silk, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote seven wild cursive characters on the paper: "The rain is about to come and the wind fills the building."

　　Seeing these words, Emperor Zhou Wu's already gloomy mood became even more anxious. The Fifth Prince was actually poisoned? Who could do it? Shen Huiru? The name popped into his mind almost immediately, making his teeth chatter.

　　﹡﹡﹡﹡

　　As Meng Sangyu expected, things became more and more complicated. Before the poisoning incident could be solved, the second prince got into great trouble again. During a joke, he pushed his companion into a lotus pond and drowned. The companion was the direct grandson of Prime Minister Li's most trusted subordinate, and he was also the only child in the family. The subordinate was so distraught that he complained to the Jinluan Hall.

　　The emperor was furious and rewarded the second prince with thirty court sticks, and spent half a year thinking about it behind closed doors. But the matter was not over yet. When the subordinate saw that the second prince only received a beating, but his own family was cut off, he was so angry that he exposed the evidence of Li Xiang's forming a party for personal gain, selling his official position, and taking corruption and bribery to the emperor. , at the same time, the results of the fifth prince's poisoning incident also came out. It was actually Concubine Li. The purpose was to eliminate the contenders for the crown prince's position for her son.

　　As soon as the news came out, the whole court was in an uproar. The emperor quickly dealt with Prime Minister Li's party with thunderous means, removed all Prime Minister Li's positions, and sent him to the sky prison for a thorough investigation. Concubine Li was detained in the cold palace, with no way to surrender. Master Shen took Prime Minister Li's place with lightning speed, and for a time he had power over the government and the public.
