Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Waiting for illness (1)

　　At midnight, the palace of Qianqing was still brightly lit. Emperor Wu of Zhou was sitting behind the royal table, looking through the documents Shen Huiru had approved and the imperial edicts issued in recent months. Because the workload was too heavy, Yan Junwei and two subordinates also helped out. The guard outside the door held the handle of the knife in his hand, standing upright in the night, guarding Qianqing Palace like an iron barrel.

　　The palace maids of the Qianqing Palace were killed by secret guards during the royal visit. When the Empress Dowager came back, she used the excuse that the emperor was injured and the palace servants were not caring enough to clean up the palace. At this time, the Qianqing Palace was completely controlled by Emperor Wu of Zhou. within control.

　　While looking through the excerpts and imperial edicts, Emperor Wu of Zhou made notes on paper, and finally picked up the list he had just written and sneered.

　　"So many officials have been deceived in five months. Should I be ashamed of my incompetence or should I lament Shen Zhongliang's extraordinary methods?" Putting down the list, he changed a red pen, outlined the individual names on it, and handed it to Yan Junwei .

　　"These people hold important positions and need to be removed as soon as possible. The methods should be secretive, and I will deal with the remaining ones slowly. As the saying goes, misfortune depends on blessings. Without this rebellion, I would not be able to see the court so clearly. In the future, in addition to Shen Zhongliang, there will be new blood in the court, and I can further weaken the influence of the aristocratic family. Ha~ From this point of view, I still have to thank Shen Zhongliang." He leaned back in his chair with a murderous smile. Qi.

　　It seems that the future will be a bloody one! Yan Junwei sighed secretly, put away the list, picked out the two imperial edicts and handed them to him, "These two imperial edicts have not been sent out yet. Your Majesty, you must take a look."

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou picked up the first imperial edict and read it ten lines at a time.

　　This was Shen Huiru's imperial edict to destroy the Li family, cut off Prime Minister Li and Concubine Li, and demote the second prince to a commoner. Although most of the charges she used to bring down Prime Minister Li were true, many were fabricated out of thin air. Li Xiang and Li Guifei were not guilty enough to die, but the second prince was beaten with dozens of sticks. Because the executioner secretly acted cruelly and did not receive medical treatment afterwards, his legs were disabled. Being demoted to a commoner was tantamount to death. his way of survival.

　　Although he didn't like the Li family, he was even more unwilling to see Shen Huiru's vicious plan succeed. After pondering for a moment, he said to Yan Junwei, "Tomorrow, you will reveal the news of the Queen Mother's return to Concubine Li in the cold palace, and then mobilize the guards and let her out. She is a smart person and will definitely go to the Queen Mother to make the decision. I will use my help. The Queen Mother will reopen the case of Prime Minister Li. What kind of punishment the Li family and Concubine Li should receive will be decided by the Prosecution and Prosecution Commission."

　　Yan Junwei nodded in agreement and looked at him with expectant eyes as he picked up another imperial edict.

　　"Hmph~" He slapped the imperial edict hard on the royal table, causing a frightening muffled sound. The two attendants who were still cleaning up the documents were startled. Yan Junwei raised his eyebrows, looking like he was looking forward to a good show. .

　　"The heart of a woman is the most poisonous! She wants to destroy Yanzhou and the Meng family! It's a pity that Shen Xiyan is dead, otherwise I would have asked him to stop marrying and remarry! Let the Shen family suffer the consequences!" Emperor Wu of Zhou was furious. , picked up the imperial edict and threw it into the fire pot at his feet. A pair of dark eyes flashed with a cold light under the light of the fire.

　　This is Meng Yanzhou's imperial edict of marriage, and the object of the marriage is the second daughter of King Huainan who was left as a hostage in the capital. This woman had a dissolute nature and sinister methods. She caused numerous scandals before she was married. Killing a maid and slave was considered a minor offense, and there were even rumors of pregnancy out of wedlock. Therefore, even though she is a princess, at the age of nineteen, no one cares about her.

　　The emperor granted marriage and did not allow divorce. If this imperial edict were to be issued, Meng Yanzhou and even the entire Meng family would become a laughing stock in the capital and would never be able to hold their heads high. Emperor Wu of Zhou closed his eyes and thought to himself, "What a dangerous situation!" Fortunately, he came back before this happened, otherwise I don't know how angry and sad Sang Yu would be!

　　Exhaling a breath of filthy breath, he looked at Yan Junwei with a serious look, and said carefully, "Go and find out what the character of Fu Guangda's eldest daughter is, and then select all the girls of the right age who have not yet left the palace. , pick out a few good ones, so that I can have an explanation when Sang Yu asks about this matter in the future."

　　You are the emperor, and you still have to answer to Concubine De? Yan Junwei slandered and agreed at the same time.

　　At this moment, Chang Xi came in with Buddha Chen in his arms and greeted the two of them softly.

　　"Get up, why did she ask you to go?" Emperor Wu of Zhou asked in a deep voice. Both the Zhongcui Palace and the Qianqing Palace were now members of the Queen Mother, and Shen Huiru could not handle political affairs through the secret passage, so she handed over a note in the afternoon and asked Emperor Zhou Wu to send Chang Xi there because she had important matters to discuss.

　　Chang Xi took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, half-kneeled and sent it to Emperor Zhou Wu. His voice returned to a low tone, "Concubine Liang gave me a bottle of medicine, and asked me to secretly give it to Nian Ci tomorrow. The Queen Mother will give it to me every day." In the Buddhist incense."

　　Emperor Zhou Wu opened the cork of the bottle and took a slight sniff. A murderous look flashed across his dark eyes.

　　"It's requiem incense. It smells exactly like Buddhist incense. If you burn it for ten days in a row, people will decline and die." Yan Junwei took the porcelain bottle and smelled it, saying coldly. Shen Huiru really dares to think and do. I once liked such a woman. I wonder how the emperor feels now?

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't feel anything. He took back the porcelain vase, put it in the palm of his hand and played with it carefully, with a smile on his lips, looking very comfortable. But the more unpredictable he was, the more frightened Yan Junwei became.

　　"Give the medicine to the Queen Mother and let her handle it by herself. Get a bottle for Madam Jealousy and order it for Shen Huiru tomorrow." Throwing the medicine bottle to Yan Junwei, he spoke calmly.

　　Madam Jealousy is colorless and odorless. When mixed with other spices, it can kill the fetus in a pregnant woman's belly without anyone noticing, and it can also hollow out the body of a pregnant woman. The effect of the medicine is very strong, and it is one of the banned drugs in Dazhou.

　　Yan Junwei nodded solemnly. If a person wants to die, even ten horses can't pull him back. It is Shen Huiru's fault for what she is today.

　　"Did she say anything else?" Emperor Zhou Wu tapped the table with his index finger.

　　"Back to the Emperor, Concubine Liang asked her subordinates to give this to you." Chang Xi handed over a few pieces of paper.

　　On the paper were the government affairs that the fake emperor had to deal with in the next ten days. Shen Huiru gave a detailed explanation and attached a list, asking him to draft an imperial edict as soon as possible and dispatch these people to the positions designated by her so that they could rush Let them take office before the year.

　　Seeing this, Emperor Zhou Wu smiled and handed the list to Yan Junwei, "These are also dealt with together. Shen Huiru is so generous. She becomes a high official in the border area as soon as she makes a move. It must be very prosperous to follow her."

　　"It's indeed very beautiful. It's even more beautiful when you get to the underworld." Yan Junwei showed a bloody smile. As the old saying goes, if a person is seeking death, even ten horses can't pull him back!

　　After finishing all the urgent documents that needed to be dealt with, Emperor Wu of Zhou sent his subordinates away and went to bed full of expectations. Close your eyes and wake up to see Sang Yu! He squeezed the sachet in his hand and thought to himself.

　　The next day, Meng Sangyu also came to Qianqing Palace with anticipation. Although there were speculations yesterday, she was not sure yet without close contact.

　　At that time, the sky was only slightly white, and there were still a few flickering stars hanging in the sky. The biting cold wind made people's cheeks hurt, and even the breath they exhaled could freeze instantly. The Qianqing Palace was lit with orange lights. The lights give people a sense of warmth when viewed from a distance.

　　Meng Sangyu held a small heater in his hand and stood outside the Qianqing Palace for a while, then slowly walked in step by step. Yincui and Bishui followed her, their eyes watching their noses, their noses watching their hearts, not daring to look around at all.

　　"The Imperial Concubine has an audience!" The eunuch guarding the gate began to sing loudly, still twenty meters away from the palace gate.

　　"Xuan!" A deep and rich male voice sounded.

　　Meng Sangyu was stunned for a moment, feeling that he could hear a hint of urgency in this voice. She shook her head secretly, putting aside this illusion, walked in gracefully, and bowed respectfully. His knees were only half bent when he heard the voice speak again, speaking a little fast, "Without courtesy, come here and help me change my clothes."

　　"Yes." Meng Sangyu promised softly, walked to the couch and helped the man up. When she met the man's deep eyes, she was stunned again for a moment. These eyes were as unpredictable as the abyss. They looked so focused when looking at her, as if they wanted to suck her whole body in. There was no coldness or indifference there, just a darkness that she couldn't identify, as if there was some violent emotion surging behind it.

　　Is this the real Emperor Wu of Zhou? She lowered her head, feeling a little unsure.

　　"Sang...what's wrong with my beloved concubine? Won't you help me change my clothes?" Emperor Zhou Wu stretched out his arms and hugged her into his arms. He wanted to rub her into his chest but could not hold back because he felt Sang's feeling. Yu was stiff for a moment. She is resisting!

　　"Your Majesty, let go of my concubine first, and I will help the emperor change his clothes immediately. It's cold in the morning, so be careful of freezing." Meng Sangyu smiled softly, and broke away from Emperor Zhou Wu's arms very naturally.

　　There was a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold; he was clearly looking at me, but his eyes were empty. Emperor Wu of Zhou suddenly remembered these two sentences, which Sang Yu once used to describe him. But in fact, isn't it true that Sang Yu treats him like this? The corners of his raised lips pursed into a straight line little by little, and his eyes were fixed on the smiling woman in front of him.

　　"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Meng Sangyu's heart skipped a beat when he met his dim and unclear gaze, and he immediately overturned his previous suspicion. Is this emperor real or fake? She couldn't tell the difference for a moment.

　　"Nothing, please dress me." Caressing the woman's slightly raised eyes, Emperor Zhou Wu hooked his lips again and spread his arms. One day, he will be reflected in these eyes.

　　Meng Sangyu blinked, suppressed his troubled mood, carefully avoided the wound on his shoulder, and changed his clothes. He twisted out a wet handkerchief to clean his face and hands. During this period, the man's deep eyes kept circling her body, making her scalp numb.

　　The hot breakfast was served at the right time. Meng Sangyu helped Emperor Zhou Wu sit down at the table, while he stood beside him, preparing to serve him food.

　　"My beloved, please sit down and feed me." Emperor Wu of Zhou pulled the woman to his side and sat down.

　　"Huh?" Meng Sangyu stared, wanting to pick out his ears.

　　"My beloved, please feed me. I am injured and have difficulty moving." Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at her steadily and spoke again. Sang Yu used to like to feed him.

　　Damn, you hurt your shoulder, not your hand, okay? ! You did it on purpose! ? This man is definitely a fake! Meng Sangyu put on a stiff smile, but the villain in his heart was roaring.
