Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 60

Chapter 60 Leng Gong

　　An hour later, the morning court ended. Many people walked out like zombies, and many people were happy. When he came to court again, the emperor acted boldly and resolutely, turning away from his previous weakness and indulging in women. This was obviously a good thing that everyone celebrated. Only such an emperor can lead the Zhou Dynasty to glory.

　　Meng Yanzhou pushed aside several ministers who were chatting with him, caught up with Yan Junwei, and asked in a low voice, "That Han Hai is..."

　　"Ah, it's your brother-in-law." Yan Junwei patted his shoulder and joked, "Your brother-in-law has already opened the back door for you. You have to work hard and don't let him down."

　　Meng Yanzhou was speechless and thought to himself: This brother-in-law is not as bad as his mother and sister said!

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou, who had gone to court, ran to Cining Palace before he could change out of his court clothes. Walking into the main hall filled with Buddhist incense, he heard the dull and monotonous sound of banging wooden fish in the hall. His breath suddenly stagnated, and he involuntarily opened the bead curtain and looked at the back of the wooden fish banging.

　　The woman was wearing a light blue monk's robe and a monk's hat. She was chanting sutras and her voice was plain but full of piety. This scene was exactly the same as last night's nightmare. The man tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, ran to the woman in a few steps, and grabbed the woman's shoulders with force.

　　"Your Majesty? I have met your Majesty." The woman cried out in pain, turned around and saw the man's livid face, and quickly knelt down to salute.

　　"It's you!" These two words were forced out of the man's throat, with a bit of shock and relief.

　　"I have been reciting sutras with the Queen Mother since today. The Queen Mother has just finished her morning classes and taught Concubine De in the back hall how to manage palace affairs." Li Zhaoyi replied respectfully, with pain in her tone. What's going on, Your Majesty? Almost crushed her shoulders!

　　"That's right." Emperor Zhou Wu responded lowly and put his slightly trembling hands into his sleeves without leaving any trace.

　　"I sent someone to make tea for the emperor. Your Majesty, please wait a moment." Seeing the man's expression was different, Li Zhaoyi did not dare to stay longer and quickly found an excuse to leave.

　　After she walked away, Emperor Zhou Wu slowly sat down on the chair behind him, and his heartstrings that were so tight that they ached a little loosened little by little. The quiet and ethereal atmosphere in Cining Palace and the long-lasting Buddhist fragrance in the air made him feel nervous and disgusted. He wished he could take Sang Yu back to Bixiao Palace immediately.

　　Those who are close to vermilion are red, those who are close to ink are black. Why did he agree to let Sang Yu stay with his mother who wanted to become a monk? What a mistake!

　　Just when he was feeling remorseful, the Queen Mother entered the palace with Meng Sangyu's money.

　　"Son, please give your regards to the Queen Mother." Emperor Wu of Zhou stood up and stepped forward to support the Queen Mother. His eyes lingered on Sang Yu's cheeks. He was quite satisfied when he saw that her face was rosy, her eyebrows were relaxed, and the black and green under her eyes had slightly faded.

　　"I have met the emperor." Meng Sangyu bowed and saluted, with a true and bright smile on his face. No matter what, the other party saved her father and family, she remembered this.

　　"Without courtesy, sit down." Emperor Wu of Zhou patted the seat next to him, feeling unspeakable joy in his heart. A smile as bright and brilliant as the sun, besides Abao, he, as the emperor, finally got it. As expected, Sang Yu is still soft-hearted. As long as he treats her well, she will pay the same in return.

　　"Mother, how are Concubine De's studies in palace affairs?" Squeezing Sang Yu's soft palm affectionately, Emperor Zhou Wu turned to look at the Queen Mother. Although Sang Yu had assisted in palace affairs before, he did not give her too much power because of his fear of the Meng family. If she wanted to be in charge of the Sixth Palace, her mother would still need to watch over her.

　　"Concubine De is smart, smart, and enlightened. Soon she will be able to hold the Phoenix Seal alone." The Queen Mother's expression was calm, but her eyes were filled with admiration. After experiencing a catastrophe, his son's vision has finally improved. Concubine De is definitely the best choice for a mother in the world. Among all the concubines in the palace, even if they are not tainted by others, she only likes this one. one person.

　　"At present, the post is vacant and the six palaces in the East and West are in disorder. My son is in urgent need of a good housekeeper to help rectify the situation. Since Concubine De is so capable, why not let her take over today. With Li Zhaoyi accompanying me in chanting and copying sutras, my mother will not be reluctant to part with her. ?" Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled slightly with a hint of ridicule.

　　Okay, co-authors are waiting for Aijia here! However, after only half a day, he regretted it, his concentration was so poor! The Queen Mother pursed her lips, waved her hands and said, "Don't worry, Concubine De is still weak, let her recuperate for a few more days. The Ai family, the palace servant, will help you take care of it first, and let Concubine De stay with the Ai family so that you can watch and learn at the same time." Something will go wrong in the future.”

　　Emperor Zhou Wu's eyes darkened slightly, and he wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother, "Concubine De, what do you think?"

　　"Huh?" Meng Sangyu, who was leisurely drinking tea, was unexpectedly dragged into the water by the Queen Mother. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately put down the tea cup and said firmly, "Of course I should study with the Queen Mother for a while!"

　　"It's time to be cautious and step-by-step in doing things. My good child, you are a sensible person, and it is not in vain for the Ai family to take the trouble to teach you." The Queen Mother twisted her beads and smiled, half in her heart was her appreciation for the concubine, and half was the pleasure of having troubled her son. .

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou curled his lips and glanced at his wife with a smile, "Then I have to thank my mother-in-law." He looked at Sang Yu next to him and said casually, "Speaking of which, I saw my concubine's brother in court today."

　　Meng Sangyu squeezed the embroidered handkerchief in his hand and looked at the man with gleaming eyes.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu secretly smiled in his heart, but frowned slightly, "I have heard people say that Meng Guogong's legitimate son is impulsive and reckless, and this is true. No one dared to answer me today, but Deputy Commander Meng stood up and spoke boldly, all officials They all looked at him sideways."

　　Meng Sangyu turned his eyes, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and said softly, "My brother is indeed too straightforward and does not understand the twists and turns in the officialdom. Please, Your Majesty, please take care of my brother. I am sure that I will be a good student and will not go out of my way." I can take over the palace affairs in five days, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

　　Just now, I said that I should learn slowly, but in a blink of an eye, it became "no more than five days". This is the skill of adapting to the wind! The Queen Mother paused while twisting the beads.

　　"Yes." Emperor Wu of Zhou agreed, his brows stretched, he laughed lowly first, then laughed loudly, and finally laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth. He hadn't realized that Sang Yu was a wallflower before. He was so good at reading people's eyes. He was... so cute!

　　Thinking of this, Emperor Zhou Wu started laughing again, and even the Queen Mother, who had a dull expression, narrowed her eyes.

　　Damn, did I tell you some shocking joke? Don’t be too funny! Meng Sangyu picked up the tea cup to cover the twitching corners of his mouth, and thought to himself.

　　After chatting with my mother and daughter-in-law for a while in Cining Palace, seeing that it was getting late and it was time to go back to handle government affairs, Emperor Zhou Wu reluctantly left. Turning his head to look back at the main hall where the fragrance of Buddha was lingering and the sound of chanting sutras and the sound of wooden fish could be heard all the time, his eyes darkened. He couldn't let go even if Sang Yu stayed here for only five days.

　　"Has the dog been treated properly?" The wind and snow had stopped and the road had been cleared. Emperor Wu of Zhou waved back the imperial ban and walked slowly towards the Qianqing Hall.

　　Chang Xi was stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to react. He hurriedly said, "It's almost time to return to the emperor."

　　"When you're cured, bring it to the Qianqing Palace." He urged in a deep voice. In case Sang Yu really wants to escape from the world, it's better to find something for her to make her nostalgic. Everything she likes is given to her, and it seems she is willing to leave.

　　"Yes." Chang Xi promised, keeping this in mind.

　　The group of people walked five or six hundred meters and met several groups of concubines, all of whom were accompanied by young and beautiful palace maids or the extremely low-ranking but handsome Yaosheng and Changzai.

　　"I have seen the emperor." Seeing the handsome man approaching at a dragon's pace and a tiger's pace, all the concubines knelt down to say hello. In the imperial garden, orioles chirped and swallows murmured, creating a beautiful scene.

　　"Get up." The man's face was indifferent, his eyes were straight, and he walked through the thousands of flowers with his hands behind his back, without even a moment's hesitation or pause.

　　The cold wind picked up the dead leaves on the ground and swirled them in the air. The concubines trembled and stood up blankly to look in the direction of Qianqing Palace. The bright yellow tall back has completely disappeared, and the emperor who would accompany them to warm wine in the pavilion, enjoy flowers by the pool, and linger passionately every night seems to have changed.

　　Concubine Chen's face changed several times, and finally she revealed a sinister smile, waved her hand and said, "Let's go to the cold palace to see the good concubine." If it weren't for the good concubine, she wouldn't be in the situation she is today!

　　When many high-ranking concubines heard this, their faces twisted for a moment. They dismissed the low-ranking concubines and palace officials who were unaware of what was going on around them, and took their respective confidants to the cold palace.

　　After being devastated by successive blizzards, the cold palace looked even more dilapidated, but it also looked much cleaner, with all the filth being covered up under the heavy white snow. The emperor has not officially taken action against the Shen family, but has only sent the good concubine to the cold palace, without depriving her of the concubine's position. But seeing the emperor's thunderous tactics today, the Shen family has no hope of turning around. Everyone can complain and take revenge.

　　Because the mistress often comes to "visit", the bedroom where the good concubine lives has been cleaned, and all the furniture has been polished and polished, clean and tidy, and there are also specially appointed palace attendants to enjoy the special treatment in the cold palace. .

　　When Concubine Chen and her entourage arrived, Shen Huiru was being pinned down on the bed and given medicine by a strong nun. She shook her head and struggled desperately, and the brown liquid flowed down her cheeks and onto the bed, soaking the quilt all over. This happens often, because her bed and clothes have been soaked with different shades of medicine stains, and the original color cannot be seen. When she gets closer, she can smell a pungent odor.

　　The entire palace was very clean, but Liang Concubine herself and Liang Concubine's bed were the filthiest things, making people feel disgusted even if they took a second look at them. The proud and aloof white lotus in the past has long since rotted into a ball of mud.

　　Nian Ci helped to hold down Liang Fei's legs, and when he saw several empresses, he quickly stepped forward to salute. Shen Huiru's legs were freed and she kicked the nanny fiercely. Unexpectedly, the nanny made a mistake and knocked the rim of the bowl hard against her teeth, prying off her front teeth, and blood suddenly flowed out.

　　Shen Huiru was in unbearable pain, covering her mouth and curling up on the bed. Mammy put down the bowl and bowed to the masters.

　　"Get up, you are very dedicated, I am very satisfied. She must drink the medicine on time, but she cannot die." Concubine Chen sat sideways in the large carved chair, lazily shaking the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and saw Shen Huiru smiled with interest as she saw the blood between her fingers and a front tooth on the ground.

　　Concubine Xian pinched her nose and stepped forward, her eyes swept across a red mark on Shen Huiru's neck, and said coldly, "Want to commit suicide? It's not that easy! If you are too lazy to watch her at night, tie her up and gag her. Get cotton and see how she seeks death!"

　　Mammy and Nianci agreed and happily took the rewards from the hands of the ladies.

　　The virtuous concubine wanted to step forward to rectify the good concubine, but she hesitated when she smelled the stench on her body and saw her dying eyes, as gray as a dead dog. The torture was too much in the past few days, and this bitch almost died. This time, she was allowed to live for a while. If she is not allowed to live for a long time and suffer endless torture, she will hate it hard!

　　The nanny put away the silver reward, warmed up a bowl of medicine and forced it to drink for Shen Huiru. After everyone admired Shen Huiru's extremely miserable condition and determined that her body could survive for a long time, they left with satisfaction.

　　After the people left, Shen Huiru's confused eyes regained their clarity little by little. She hugged her knees hard and curled up into the dirty bed. Two lines of tears slowly came out and fell silently down her cheeks. Entering into a quilt full of stench.
