Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Safety

　　There was a sound of banging wooden fish in the smoke-filled and dimly lit hall. The sound was dull and monotonous, making people feel depressed. Before the man could figure out why he was standing in this empty hall, he was attracted by a thin back figure at the end of the smoke.

　　He walked uncontrollably towards the back of the wooden fish, his heart began to beat rapidly, and his throat became dry.

　　"Your Majesty, you are here." He felt someone approaching from behind, stopped what he was doing, and turned around slowly. She was wearing a blue cloth monk's robe and a monk's hat, and the expression on her face was indifferent, which made the man panic.

　　"Sang Yu? What the hell are you wearing?" Seeing the woman's face clearly, the man's eyes widened in astonishment. He quickly stepped forward and tried to pull her into his arms, but his hands that used too much force failed to grab her. There was no human figure anywhere in front of him, only the long words "Amitabha" lingered in the air, like a magic spell, which made the man feel heartbroken.

　　"Sang Yu!" Emperor Wu of Zhou suddenly woke up from his dream. He wiped his hands and his face was covered with cold sweat. The pain in his chest had not completely subsided, and the feeling of despair and collapse still remained in his mind.

　　"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Chang Xi heard the noise and immediately ran into the bedroom, knelt in front of the man's bed, and looked at the man's pale face worriedly. He seemed to hear the emperor calling out the name of Concubine De, and he didn't know what kind of dream he had, which frightened the majestic emperor like this.

　　"Pour me a glass of water." After regaining his composure, Emperor Zhou Wu spoke hoarsely. Knowing that the scene in the dream could not happen, he now regretted it very much. He should not have compromised with his mother and let Sang Yu accompany her in chanting sutras. What if Sangyu really wants to escape from the world under her influence and wants to have all four elements empty and the six roots pure? No! He will never allow it!

　　"Your Majesty, drink water." Chang Xi poured a glass of hot water and handed it to his clenched fist with white knuckles.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu took it and drank it in one gulp, feeling a little better.

　　Chang Xi put down the tea cup and waited for the emperor to lie down again. Just as he was about to exit the hall, the guard outside the door suddenly ran in and whispered, "Your Majesty, Commander Yan is asking for an audience outside the hall." Yan Junwei wears a dragon token on his waist. The highest pass, whenever he asked for an audience, the Praetorian Guards were not allowed to stop him.

　　"Let him come in." Emperor Wu of Zhou immediately stood up, hurriedly put on a robe and went out. He once told Yan Junwei to inform him as soon as there is news about Meng Guogong and Han Changping. It's already past midnight, and the palace has already issued the key. He came to see her now, 90% of the time, for this matter.

　　Yan Junwei was already waiting in the side hall, holding a piece of intelligence in his hand. His face seemed cold, but his sharp eyes like an eagle were slightly more relaxed than before.

　　As soon as he came in, he stared closely at Yan Junwei's expression. Emperor Zhou Wu's heart was half relieved. He quickly waved his hand to avoid him from saluting, and took the spy report and read it at a glance.

　　"How is Mr. Meng Guo's health?" He leaned back in his chair, his hoarse voice revealing his inner tension and exhaustion.

　　"The Duke of Guo has received treatment. He has some frostbite on his hands and feet. He will be fine soon. On the contrary, Han Changping is in worse health than the Duke of Guo, who is nearly fifty years old. He is afraid that he will not be able to get out of bed for a while. Unexpectedly, Meng Jiajun also came out. The traitor had tricked the Duke's horse. The horse went crazy and ran directly into the muddy beach, otherwise the Duke would not have fallen into such a clumsy trick." Yan Junwei spoke, his angry tone turning to regret. , "It's a pity that two or three days have passed since the two horse corpses were found, and a lot of evidence can no longer be examined."

　　"Protect Duke Meng well and send a few more people to investigate this matter. I will not feel at ease unless the culprit is found out." Emperor Wu of Zhou knocked on the table, a look of solemnity on his handsome face.

　　"Yes." Yan Junwei accepted the promise, thinking of the situation at the border, and said with deep admiration, "After the Duke returned to the camp, the cheers and roars of the soldiers in the camp soared into the sky, resounding through the sky, reaching all the way to the Barbarian Emperor. The court made the barbarians panic and couldn't sleep all night. After Anzada found out the news, he withdrew his troops ten miles to avoid his attack. With the power of one person to defeat thousands of troops, Meng Guogong is nothing less than the best general in the world!"

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou chuckled and spoke slowly, "The return of Duke Meng Guo has greatly shocked the morale of our army. Thinking about it, this battle will be over soon, and the soldiers can return to the court and have a good New Year." When he finished speaking, his expression was cold and solemn. Sweeping it all away, he raised his hand and shouted to Chang Xi, "Show the Cining Palace! Hurry up!"

　　"Your Majesty, please put on some clothes first." Chang Xi quickly stepped forward to stop him. Wearing only a thin outer robe, the emperor didn't feel cold!

　　"What are you waiting for? Change my clothes!" Seeing that his clothes were disheveled, Emperor Wu of Zhou was a little annoyed and ordered the palace servants in the palace. You can't go see Sang Yu like this!

　　"Why is the emperor going to Cining Palace so late?" Yan Junwei asked Chang Xi in a low voice when the emperor returned to his bedroom to change clothes.

　　"Empress De Fei currently lives in Cining Palace." Chang Xi's answer was simple and concise. Yan Junwei nodded with an expression of sudden realization. Besides Concubine De, who else could make the emperor so abnormal? He should have thought of it.

　　"Commander, when will you let Chang Xi die?" Chang Xi lowered his voice, his pale and beardless face full of hope.

　　"What? Isn't it good to be an eunuch? After all, he is also the general manager of the palace, which is equivalent to a fourth-grade official. No one else can ask for anything." Yan Junwei laughed playfully, changing from his previous sternness. Seeing that his subordinate's face was as wrinkled as a chrysanthemum, and his human-skin mask was about to lift, he said seriously, "It will take another half a month, and the successor will not be trained yet."

　　Chang Xi was overjoyed and was about to bow to the commander when Emperor Wu of Zhou quickly walked out of the palace. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe covered with a pure black mink cloak. His handsome face and noble and extraordinary temperament made people dare not look at him.

　　It is said that women should be flattered by their appearance. I never thought that this saying could also be applied to men. It is not troublesome to dress up like this in the middle of the night! Yan Junwei looked serious, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

　　"You can go." Emperor Wu of Zhou waved his hand and hurriedly boarded the imperial carriage to Cining Palace.

　　"Yes." Yan Junwei stood in the corridor and watched, and when he turned to leave, he once again decided to curry favor with Meng Yanzhou. This is the emperor's serious brother-in-law, there is no semicolon.

　　The door of Cining Palace had long been closed. The eunuch on duty inside recognized the voice of Chief Chang Xi and did not dare to neglect. He quickly opened the door to greet him. Aunt Jin heard the noise and ran out quickly. When she saw the bright yellow figure striding towards her, she immediately fell to the ground.

　　"Where does Concubine De sleep?" The man asked as he walked without stopping.

　　"Slave, take the emperor up." Seeing the emperor's anxious expression and hurried steps, Grandma Jin knew something was going on, so she quickly got up to lead the way, and sent another maid to report to the Queen Mother.

　　The snow was falling heavily and the air was cold. Inhaling it would even cause a stinging sensation in the lungs. However, the man did not even hold an umbrella and allowed the snowflakes to fall on his handsome face and melt into droplets of water.

　　Chang Xi stepped forward to hold an umbrella several times, but the man's pace was so fast that even as a secret guard, he couldn't keep up, so he had to give up in frustration. Aunt Jin had just led a short distance when she realized that the emperor had abandoned her and walked straight to the side hall where Empress Dowager De lived, as if she had known about it for a long time.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou's five senses were several times more sensitive than before after returning to his soul. With intuition and the intermittent fragrance of the air, he quickly found Sang Yu's residence, as if there was a rope pulling him in the middle. It felt amazing and made him feel happy.

　　There was no need to ask. When he heard the shallow breathing inside, he knew he had found the right one. Pushing open the palace door, he walked past Nanny Feng who suddenly woke up. He walked to the bed and silently stared at the woman's sleeping face. He wanted to smooth her slightly frowned brows, but he stretched out his hand but stopped. His fingertips were too cold.

　　Just as he hesitated for a moment, Meng Sangyu slowly opened his eyes and saw the tall man standing beside the bed. He was so frightened that he almost fell off the bed. Fortunately, Chang Xi lit the lamp and she saw the man's face clearly, and then she quickly regained her senses.

　　"Your Majesty?! Why are you here?" She raised her upper body and shouted in shock, forgetting to even salute.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou took off his cloak, leaned over with a smile, and said slowly word by word, "Sang Yu, Duke Meng has been found. He is very good and will be back soon."

　　"Ah?" Meng Sangyu kept a shocked expression. It took him a long time to digest the news, and he quickly lifted the quilt and jumped out of the bed.

　　"Are you telling the truth? Are you really okay?" She grabbed the man's shirt and asked repeatedly, with a tremor in her voice.

　　"It's true." Looking down at her "rebellious" hand, the man's smile deepened. Such a willful Sang Yu is the Sang Yu he is familiar with.

　　"That's great, that's great..." Meng Sangyu let go of the man and pulled her hair instead. She wanted to laugh, but she wrinkled her face and almost cried. Her chest was filled with ecstasy, almost about to explode! She jumped on the ground with her bare feet, venting all the joy in her heart and the depression in the past few days.

　　With his hands folded across his chest, the smile on Emperor Zhou Wu's face became stronger and stronger, and the affection and doting in his eyes could not be concealed. Whenever this woman gets too happy, she will pull her hair, jump on the ground, and then...then she will pick up A Bao and kiss her endlessly. Although he looked crazy, he found it so cute and frank, which he never got tired of.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu was immersed in the good memories of the past when the woman suddenly rushed over to him, hugged his neck, kissed him on the face, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty, I'm so grateful!" I'm almost crazy with joy!

　　"Haha~" The man's joyful laughter echoed in the hall. He picked up the woman and let her bare feet step on his dragon boots. Although the earth dragon in the palace would not be cold to the other party, he just liked this feeling of being close to each other and being intimate. Squinting his eyes to enjoy the woman's passionate peck, he felt the same way she was ecstatic.

　　When you truly love someone, you can even share happiness and sadness. This feeling is so subtle that it makes his already soft heart directly turn into a pool of spring water.

　　The Queen Mother stood by the door wearing a big cloak, looking quietly at the pair of children in the hall, her usual calmness was replaced by a smile.

　　"It seems that Duke Meng Guo has been found. Let's go." She waved her hand and dismissed all the palace people in the palace. As if she remembered something, she looked at Aunt Jin and said carefully, "It's getting late. Go in and remind me when it's almost there. Your Majesty, tell him to return to the palace early, the Ai family is not a place where he can stay."

　　Aunt Jin promised in a low voice. Seeing the flash of narrowness in the Queen Mother's eyes, she expressed her deepest sympathy to the Emperor who was warm and fragrant but could not get close to him at will. The Empress Dowager must have deliberately moved Concubine De to Cining Palace!
