Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 53

Chapter 53 Discover

　　After sending Chang Xi away who was sending him off diligently, Meng Sangyu slowly walked toward the Bixiao Palace with Bishui and Yincui. The heavy snow covered the ground with a thick layer, and it was dazzling white everywhere. It looked so clean and empty. The feet stepped on the soft snow, making a rustling sound, which made the walking movement more interesting.

　　Meng Sangyu's calm face showed a slight trace of relaxation, and he marched steadily one step at a time. Bishui and Yincui also became playful and followed in their master's footsteps. The three of them were walking together, and from a distance there was only a line of footprints. After walking for a long time, they were about to walk out of the grounds of Qianqing Palace. Several palace officials who were passing by fell on the roadside to salute Empress Dowager De.

　　"You..." Meng Sangyu's relaxed expression faded instantly, she stopped in front of a eunuch, and pointed towards his waist with trembling fingers, "Where did you get this thing? Tell me!" Her face was livid.

　　The palace man was about to hide the red sandalwood ornaments around his waist, but the sharp-eyed Empress De Fei still looked at her. Her face turned pale and she kowtowed on the snow, "Empress, spare your life! This is The slave picked it up in the flower bed. The slave did not kill the queen's dog. When the slave found it, it had been dead for a long time!" He regretted very much. He should not have secretly hid it when he saw that it was valuable. Although he kept the five things on it The large gilt characters were cut out, but I didn't expect that it was designed by Empress De Fei herself, and I recognized it at a glance.

　　Bi Shui took a step forward and pulled off the ornaments from his waist. After a closer look, although the gold powder on it was worn away, there were still a few dents left, which were the five characters "Bi Xiao Palace A Bao".

　　"Your Majesty," Bishui called out worriedly as he handed the dog tag into his pale master's hand.

　　"Where did you find him? Take me with you!" Meng Sangyu forcefully pulled the badge into his hand and ordered in a deep voice.

　　The eunuch didn't dare to hide it, so he quickly got up and took them to a flower bed close to the palace wall. He threw himself into the flower bed and rummaged around for a while. Meng Sangyu watched coldly, with no unnecessary expression on his pale face. The thick layer of snow was cleared away, but the place where the puppy's body originally lay was empty. The eunuch was a little desperate, and knelt down at Meng Sangyu's feet again and kowtowed, "Mother, please believe me, this slave is really I found the body of that puppy. I knew it was your dog when I saw the sign, and even if I gave ten slaves the courage, I wouldn’t dare to do anything!”

　　He died in Qianqing Palace. Apart from the people around Shen Huiru, who would dare to take action? Meng Sangyu knew everything in his heart, but his face was blank. When he caught a glimpse of a small piece of leather belt exposed in the grass, his heart throbbed. She recognized it. It was made of calfskin that had been deliberately tanned many times for Abao's dog tags. It was light, soft and comfortable to wear.

　　She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she looked at the eunuch at her feet with a serious look, and said coldly, "Are you worthy of taking this thing? Since you know that he is my dog, why don't you come and report it to me?" palace?"

　　The eunuch was extremely frightened and could not find any words to defend himself, so he could only kowtow harder. If he had known this, he should not have been so greedy.

　　"Fifty points for yourself!" Meng Sangyu gritted her teeth and said, seeing the eunuch slapping him as if he had been granted amnesty, she suddenly felt very tired, waved her hand and left with Yincui and Bishui.

　　Returning to Bixiao Palace, she took off her snow-covered cloak and walked to the bedroom in a daze. Without warning, she collapsed and knocked over a set of porcelain on the table to the ground.

　　When Yincui and Bishui saw something was wrong, they immediately reached out to pick her up and helped her lie down on the soft couch by the window. Aunt Feng, who was going to fetch hot water, was startled when she heard the noise. She immediately ran in to check. When she saw her master, whose chest was heaving violently and cold sweat was pouring from his forehead, she screamed in panic, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Bishui, hurry up. Go to the imperial doctor quickly!"

　　Bishui agreed and ran towards the Imperial Hospital as fast as he could.

　　"Mommy, I'm fine!" Meng Sangyu gritted his teeth and pressed hard on his violently beating heart. He tried to sit up, but found that his breathing was getting shorter and shorter, and his head felt dizzy. She knew that this was a stress emergency caused by too much pressure. It was caused by psychological factors and had nothing to do with the body.

　　After hearing the news of A Bao's death, she could no longer deceive herself that A Bao was still alive and well. This also reminded her of her missing father. She felt heartbroken when she thought that her father might be like Ah Bao, whose body had lost its temperature and was lying alone in the wild, with no one finding it, no one restraining it, and little bits of corruption melting into the mud.

　　Her heart twitched violently again. She opened her mouth and breathed heavily, trying to calm herself down. She can't fall down, her mother and brother still need her, and the Meng family still needs her!

　　"Mr. Du, look quickly! What's wrong with her?" Bishui hurried over with Dr. Du.

　　Seeing the Empress De Fei with wet hair, pale face, and violent chest heaving, Doctor Du was startled. He skipped the salute and rushed to the couch to check her pulse. When he saw the wooden sign tightly held in her hand, he was taken aback. It took a lot of effort to pull it out and put it aside.

　　"The empress is suffering from heart palpitations caused by too much stimulation. We must quickly let her drink the calming decoction, otherwise she will have heart problems." Dr. Du gave a simple explanation, quickly wrote down a prescription and gave it to the attendant to grab the medicine, and then took out the Silver needles were inserted into her Qingming point, temples, and Yintang points.

　　The dizziness in his head was quickly relieved and his breathing became smoother. Meng Sangyu turned his head and said with difficulty, "Thank you, Doctor Du."

　　"This is the duty of a minister. Don't talk, just drink the medicine and have a good sleep. Don't think wildly." Dr. Du explained in a warm voice while gently turning the silver needle.

　　The decoction was brought to Empress Dowager De's bedside as quickly as possible. Doctor Du started the injection and saw that the empress' symptoms were relieved after drinking the medicine, so he bowed and left.

　　"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Nanny Feng helped Meng Sangyu lie down on the bed, tucked her in, and asked softly.

　　"Abao is dead." Meng Sangyu closed his eyes tightly, and his voice was hoarse. "It's been so many days, and I'm afraid my father is in bad shape! Mom, I'll get some sleep first, and I have to attend to the emperor's health this afternoon. Greetings, the Queen Mother, please remember to wake me up!" She could not fall down at this time, nor could she relax for a moment. If something happened to her father, she would have to take up the reins of the Meng family. The Queen Mother and the Emperor were her greatest support, and she Don't be lazy.

　　"Your Majesty, why are you still waiting for me when you're like this? I'll go to Qianqing Palace and tell you!" Grandma Feng shook her head firmly.

　　"Mommy, the Meng family depends on me now, and serving as a sick person is my opportunity to show off. I must fight for this favor! The emperor also said this morning that he would recruit his brother to the Jinyi Guards for training. This is an opportunity for the Meng family, and I can't Something went wrong at this time." Meng Sangyu grabbed Nanny Feng's wrist hard and closed her eyes tiredly when she nodded with tears in her eyes.

　　After her breathing calmed down, Nanny Feng caressed the black spots under her eyes, stood up and whispered to Yin Cui, "Go to Qianqing Palace to ask for a leave of absence. I will make my own decision for now. When the empress wakes up, If you come to ask questions, the old slave will bear the burden."

　　Yincui agreed without hesitation and braved the heavy snow to go to Qianqing Palace.

　　Chang Xi already knew everything about what happened just now, and he had already dealt with the eunuch who picked up Abao's dog tags. On the day the emperor returned to the palace, Abao's bones were collected by the commander and brought to the eminent monk for transcendence. Although he didn't know why the commander and the emperor valued the corpse of a dog so much, he realized after seeing the way the emperor got along with Concubine De - the emperor loved the house and the bird!

　　Now that Concubine De is ill because of Abao's death, the emperor doesn't know how to worry. After saying goodbye to Yincui, Chang Xi walked into the bedroom. Seeing the emperor's black eyes and injuries on his shoulders, he quietly left. It is better to wait until the emperor wakes up before reporting, and let the emperor rest for a while.

　　Three-quarters of an hour later, Concubine Chen guessed that the emperor had woken up from his nap, and Concubine De had not yet arrived to attend the ceremony. She carried a food box and walked gracefully to the Qianqing Palace in the heavy snow to ask for an audience. After adjusting day and night, she has come out of despair and is looking for a way out. Now, the last thing she can't lose is the emperor's favor. It doesn't matter if she doesn't have a child, and it doesn't matter if the child doesn't live long. As long as she has the emperor's favor, she can find a palace maid or a low-ranking concubine to give birth to a child for herself, and then beg the emperor to let her adopt it. It’s no different from what I gave birth to.

　　It was precisely because she knew her enemy so well that Concubine Chen had to act quickly. She knew that before long, everyone would want to go with her.

　　"The Emperor is still asleep. Your Majesty may as well go to the side hall and wait." Without the Emperor's verbal instructions, Chang Xi didn't know what to do with Concubine Chen, so she had to wait until the Emperor woke up.

　　Concubine Chen agreed with a smile, walked into the side hall, and placed the food box next to the brazier to keep warm. Standing next to her was a palace maid with beautiful appearance and proud figure, with her pink neck lowered and her face full of shyness.

　　"Do you know what to do later?" Concubine Chen fiddled with the exquisite and luxurious armor on her fingertips and asked slowly.

　　"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not let you down." The maid bent her knees, her clear voice filled with shyness. Concubine Chen obviously has a prince and is quite favored by the emperor, but she still wants to find someone to help her maintain his favor. Although the palace maid has doubts, she also knows that such an opportunity cannot be missed.

　　"It's good to know. If you get pregnant, I will never treat you badly." Concubine Chen glanced sideways at the palace maid, pursed her lips and smiled.

　　The palace maid immediately bent down and once again expressed her loyalty.

　　In the Qianqing Hall, Emperor Zhou Wu opened his eyes on time and looked around the hall. Sang Yu was nowhere to be seen, only a wisp of fragrance lingering on his pillow. He felt empty and indescribably uncomfortable.

　　"Your Majesty, you are awake. I will help you change your clothes." Chang Xi opened the bead curtain and walked to his bedside and whispered softly.

　　"No need," Emperor Wu of Zhou waved his hands, eyes slightly closed, half sitting on the couch, "I'll wait until Sang Yu comes."

　　"Your Majesty, you can't come in the afternoon. Yin Cui just asked me for leave. Since you were still sleeping, I didn't tell you." Chang Xi bowed and replied.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu frowned and said in a deep voice, "Why can't you come? What happened?"

　　Chang Xi roughly told the story of "The dog tag was discovered, and Empress Dowager De fell ill due to stimulation." Seeing that the emperor's face was getting darker and darker, he quickly added, "Mr. Du has already seen it and said that the empress just needs a good rest. Don't think too much, the disease will be cured immediately."

　　"Change my clothes, I'll go over and take a look." Lifting the brocade quilt, Emperor Wu of Zhou quickly got out of bed, picked up his regular clothes and quickly put them on himself. Chang Xi quickly followed to help.

　　After a while, Chang Xi ordered the palace attendants outside the palace to prepare the royal banquet to be driven into Bixiao Palace, and at the same time brought a large cloak and put it on the emperor.

　　After hearing Chang Xi's loud order, Concubine Chen immediately walked out of the side hall and hurried to the door. It's snowing so heavily, and the emperor is still injured, why should he go to Bixiao Palace? What happened?

　　"Your Majesty!" Seeing the handsome man approaching, Concubine Chen and the maids beside her blushed, and stepped forward to salute in a charming manner.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou frowned and strode forward without looking at the two of them. With a flick of his hand, he pushed Concubine Chen aside with her knees slightly bent, sat on the imperial banquet and disappeared into the vast white snow.

　　The palace maid was holding the food box with one hand and helping Concubine Chen who was about to fall down with the other hand. In her hurry, she knocked over the food box and the soup flowed all over the floor.

　　He didn't even get a glance from the corner of his eye, and walked by as if he was nothing. Could it be that the love and affection he had felt during these days was all fake? Concubine Chen's face kept changing from blue to white. When she saw the soup spilled all over the floor, she slapped the palace maid hard and walked away.

　　"Come here, let me check. What happened to Concubine De?" Returning to her own Zhaochun Palace, Concubine Chen became more and more unwilling to think about it, so she summoned her confidant maid and ordered.
