Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 34

Chapter 34 Accident (2)

　　The downfall of the Li family gave Meng Sangyu a hint of conspiracy. Another seven or eight days passed, and the fifth prince couldn't hold on any longer. One night, Yu Chou breathed his last. There was a wail in the Jiangzi Palace, all the red lanterns were taken down, and the concubine Xian's heartbreaking cries and curses were heard. The roars of the clan could be heard from far away.

　　Meng Sangyu tossed and turned in sorrow, unable to sleep, with Abao wrapped in his arms, facing the cold night wind, standing under the dark and heavy sky and looking in the direction of Jiangzi Palace. Emperor Wu of Zhou was whimpering. That was his son, but he died in the hands of his own woman. The source of everything was his fault. He didn't understand people well! Although he did not find out the truth, he knew that Shen Huiru was behind this, bringing down the Li family and killing the fifth prince. She was the biggest beneficiary. What's more, it is very likely that she will not give up, and other princes and princesses who hinder the Shen family's plans will be killed.

　　The sobs turned into growls, and Emperor Zhou Wu's eyes were filled with overwhelming murderous intent.

　　"Abao, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! That's when the fifth prince passed away and he turned into a star in the sky." Hearing Abao's whistle, Meng Sangyu thought he was frightened by the movement in Jiangzi Palace, and quickly wrapped him up tighter. Tight, softly comforting.

　　Become a star in the sky? Sang Yu, do you think I am a child? But this kind of comfort is really heartwarming. Emperor Wu of Zhou stopped sobbing and buried his face deeply into the woman's fragrant embrace. This is the only place where he feels most at peace, and he urgently needs to get some strength from here to maintain his belief in living.

　　"My dear, please go back. It's cold at night." Nanny Feng came out with a big cloak and put it on her master.

　　"Mommy, I have a bad feeling, things are going to change this week." Meng Sangyu's usually calm voice was laced with a hint of uneasiness, "It's actually very easy to bring down a huge family. Attack the weak point directly. The Shen Jiaduan used the second prince as a breakthrough point to find the weakest link of the Li family, and then collapsed with one strike. They wanted to use the same method to deal with the Meng family last time, but it was a pity that I had Po, you have avoided this disaster."

　　Meng Sangyu rubbed his cheek against Ah Bao's nose, receiving Ah Bao's whimpering comfort and licking from his warm little tongue.

　　"They won't let it go if they didn't succeed last time. I have a hunch that they will take action again. This time they are likely to pull the trigger and attack my father directly." Meng Sangyu frowned, with a heavy look of worry on his face. .

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou actually thought of this, and his heartstrings became extremely tight. If we attack Duke Meng at this critical moment, the situation in the border war will definitely turn around. The Shen family is betraying their country!

　　"Your Majesty, the Duke is far away at the border and in the army. The Shen family's hands cannot be extended that far." Nanny Feng was panicked in her heart, but she comforted her softly.

　　Meng Sangyu shook his head and said nothing, and stood in the cold wind for a long time before returning to the dormitory. He tossed and turned again all night long. Abao also kept his eyes open and stayed with her until dawn.

　　Seeing that a month has passed, the layout of the harem has undergone earth-shaking changes. Although Concubine De has survived, her body has been damaged, and even if she regains her favor in the future, she will not be able to go further. The good concubine suddenly became the most beloved concubine in the palace. The emperor favored her day by day and even promised that as soon as she gave birth to an heir, she would be promoted to empress. Her honor would be far greater than that of the former virtuous concubine. Moreover, the good concubine was gentle and easy to get along with. Many of the concubines were favored by her support, and she attracted many dependents in a short time. It is not an exaggeration to say that she dominated the harem.

　　***

　　When Meng Sangyu was thinking that his father should also receive his secret message, news came from the border first. Meng Guogong and Han Changping both disappeared in Jade Dragon City.

　　When he received the chicken letter, Meng Sangyu accidentally broke a cup of tea. He was stunned for a long time before opening the envelope with trembling hands. Abao quickly jumped onto her lap and leaned into her arms to watch with her.

　　The letter briefly described the disappearance of Meng Guogong.

　　Han Changping was transferred back to the position of general on the right by Meng Guogong, but when he besieged the barbarian imperial court, Meng Guogong did not let him serve as the vanguard general, but sent him to escort the grain and grass. Han Changping felt dissatisfied and slacked off a lot. When he stayed in Yulong City at night, he was unexpectedly surrounded by a barbarian cavalry from behind and attacked from behind. His food and grass were in danger. At that time, Duke Meng was holding the battle in the rear, closest to Jade Dragon City. He quickly led his troops back to defend and saved the food and grass in time. However, Han Changping was young and energetic, so he was willing to give up after being tricked by the barbarian army. He actually led a team to chase him despite the darkness. Meng Guogong was afraid that he would fall into an ambush by mistake, so he hurriedly chased him, and then the two of them never returned to the team. , disappeared for no reason, whether by accident or by a barbarian ambush.

　　After reading the letter, Meng Sangyu turned pale. Emperor Wu of Zhou gritted his teeth and regretted his decision to send Han Changping to Duke Meng. If something happened to Duke Meng, how could he face Sang Yu? How else can he win back Sang Yu's heart? This matter may become an obstacle that will remain between them for life.

　　He stood upright, put his front paws on Meng Sangyu's shoulders, and whimpered, licking Sangyu's pale cheeks and tight corners of her lips, trying to give her any comfort he could. He is just missing now. Meng Guogong has been on the battlefield for half his life, and nothing will happen easily!

　　Meng Sangyu held his dog's head, gently rubbed it twice, and finally calmed down. In fact, she had already prepared for any unexpected surprise. This news couldn't break her.

　　"Send someone out of the palace immediately, tell your mother, and let her wait with peace of mind. My father is just missing, and there is good news before there is any bad news. Tell her not to think about it. Also, this matter must be hidden from her brother. If you let him If he knows, he will definitely run away from home again and go to the border to look for his father. The family is already chaotic enough, and there is no need for him to add more chaos." She gave orders to Bi Shui in an orderly manner.

　　Bi Shui only agreed and immediately sent someone to the Duke's Mansion to deliver the message.

　　After settling down at home, she dipped her pen in ink and wrote a short message. Before Emperor Zhou Wu could jump up on the table to read the letter, she had already sealed the letter into an envelope and handed it to Nanny Feng. She said carefully, "If something happens to father, I will find a way to send you three and A Bao out of the palace." , I left a dowry each for Bishui and Yincui. Have you seen the yellow pear wood box? Don’t forget to put it away for her then. After leaving the palace, take this letter to Wang Huashan and tell your mother My brother and I will ask him to take care of us from now on, and Sangyu will repay his kindness in the next life!"

　　This, why does this sound like explaining the funeral arrangements? Nanny Feng's legs felt a little weak immediately. Yincui had already knelt down and went to her master's feet to cry. Emperor Zhou Wu's chest heaved violently, his mouth opened, and he let out a heart-rending roar. He grabbed Meng Sangyu's shoulders with his claws and screamed while licking her lips, jaw, and neck, as if begging her not to leave him.

　　"Be good, Ah Bao, be good! Nothing will happen to me." Meng Sangyu hugged the struggling Ah Bao tightly and comforted her softly.

　　"Mother, I won't leave! I'll stay with you!" Nanny Feng also knelt down at her master's feet, with tears on her face.

　　"I'm not going to die, why are you crying?" Meng Sangyu smiled bitterly and spoke slowly, "I have long planned to send you out of the palace, either this year or next year, but the plan has been advanced. Send you away so that I can concentrate on dealing with Shen Huiru. And the Shen family. This week will not fall into their hands. It has reached this point. I think the Queen Mother has received the news from the secret guard and will definitely return to the palace to take charge of the overall situation. Who is the Queen Mother? Ten Shen The Grand Master and Shen Huiru combined are no match for her. I will definitely join the Queen Mother and expose the Shen family's conspiracy to steal a dragon and turn a phoenix into a phoenix. One is the emperor's adoptive mother, and the other is the emperor's beloved concubine. Who in the world dares not to believe what we say? ? The many sons of the Meng family army will be my backing! The Queen Mother also has a private army in her hands, which is more than enough to control the capital. When the situation stabilizes, the King of Huainan and the King of Northern Hunan will not be able to cause any trouble. At most, the emperor will be forced to abdicate. Zhou will choose another monarch, and I will beg the Queen Mother to let me take care of the emperor. If the emperor is not awake, I will take care of him for the rest of his life. There is nothing wrong with it! It is better than staying in this palace and you plot against me and I plot against you!"

　　"Mother, the Queen Mother, will she come back?" Nanny Feng calmed down, and A Bao's sobbing stopped.

　　Speaking of the Queen Mother Chiang, she was also the number one woman who could not be outdone by men. The Queen Mother's family background can be said to be exactly the same as that of Meng Sangyu. Meng Guogong is the current General Jianwei, and the Queen Mother's brother is the former General Jianwei. The Queen Mother was given the title of Empress as soon as she entered the palace. She had no children for three years after entering the palace, so the late Emperor decided to let her adopt the third prince whose mother had died young, who is now the Holy Emperor. However, the Queen Mother became pregnant shortly after adopting the Holy Emperor and gave birth to the Ninth Prince. The Queen Mother is also a generous person and treats her adopted son and her own children equally. The two princes are respectful brothers and have a very harmonious relationship.

　　But all this came to nothing when the late emperor became seriously ill and appointed the third prince as prince. The Ninth Prince claimed to be the legitimate legitimate son. He originally thought that the position of crown prince must be in his possession, but he did not expect that an adopted son would snatch it away from him. He was extremely angry and resentful. The Queen Mother's family split into two factions, one supporting the third prince and the other supporting the ninth prince. The Ninth Prince's faction was too radical and even took advantage of the late emperor's serious illness to raise troops to force the palace. Fortunately, the late emperor noticed it early and stopped a bloody tragedy. In order to save the lives of the more than 4,000 members of the Jiang family, the Queen Mother personally delivered the poisoned wine to the lips of the Ninth Prince.

　　Soon after, the late emperor passed away, the Jiang family was exiled thousands of miles away, and the Queen Mother became disheartened and stopped caring about world affairs. Speaking of which, all this was actually a conspiracy of the late emperor. This conspiracy had been brewing since the late emperor asked the queen mother to adopt the third prince. He relied on a biological son and an adopted son to divide the empress dowager clan, and then completely defeated the empress dowager clan by appointing a crown prince, eliminating the hidden danger of the exclusive power of foreign relatives for the present.

　　Therefore, Jin Shang felt guilty towards the Queen Mother and sent a private army to the Queen Mother to take to Qianfo Mountain. Most of these private soldiers are the old troops left over from the Queen Mother's mother clan. They are brave and good at fighting, and can defeat a hundred with one. If the Queen Mother returns to the court with her troops, the Royal Forest Army and Long Imperial Guard, which have been reduced to pieces by the Shen family, are no match for her, not to mention the support of Concubine De and the old men of the Meng family.

　　Thinking of this, Nanny Feng and Yin Cui were determined. They just hugged their master's knees and cried, asking her to allow them to stay. But Emperor Wu of Zhou was even more anxious. He knew that things were not as easy as Sang Yu said. If the Queen Mother comes back, there will be a bloody battle between the capital and the palace. There are no eyes on the battlefield. If something happens to Sang Yu...

　　He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he deeply hated God for not letting him return to his soul. When he thought about returning to his soul, he naturally thought of the note, and hurriedly ran to the Royal Garden at night, trying his luck to see if he could bump into Yan Junwei who was entering the palace to investigate.

　　Turning a path, the Royal Garden was right in front of him. As soon as he stepped over, he saw a candle swaying at the end of the path. Upon closer inspection, Chang Xi's face was looming in the candlelight, and the man behind him Although standing in the shadows, his appearance is eighty-nine times similar to that of Master Shen.

　　If you enter the palace so late, what conspiracy does the Shen family have? Emperor Zhou Wu frowned, followed the two of them without thinking, and sneaked into Qianqing Palace.
