Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 61

Chapter 61 seduce

　　With most of the depression in her heart gone, Concubine Chen led her confidants back to Zhaochun Palace.

　　Seeing the master Shi Shiran approaching, a eunuch quickly stepped forward and said anxiously, "I would like to report to you, the Eighth Prince has suddenly developed a high fever and is crying non-stop. Please go and have a look."

　　Concubine Chen still walked at a leisurely pace. She stepped into the bedroom, took off her cloak, and warmed her hands on the brazier before casually asking, "Have you asked the imperial doctor?"

　　"I've already invited you. I'm being treated inside right now." The eunuch responded respectfully.

　　"Yes." Concubine Chen responded softly, taking a cup of tea from the palace maid's hand and sipping it slowly, without any intention of going over to take a look. In the past, the child would get sick every three days, which made her exhausted mentally and physically, and made her fearful and uneasy, for fear that he would not be able to raise him well. Now that she knew that he was deeply poisoned and would die sooner or later, with no chance of becoming a great treasure, all her patience finally ran out. The child was a burden and she had to make other plans.

　　After a while, the imperial doctor came out to take over his life, saying that the little prince's fever had subsided slightly and he had fallen asleep after drinking the medicine.

　　Concubine Chen sent the imperial doctor to the door with a grateful expression. After waiting for the person to leave, she immediately put away her warm smile and ordered the eldest palace maid beside her, "Go to Qianqing Palace to ask for an audience with the emperor. He said that the eighth prince is seriously ill. Please come and see him immediately." !」

　　"Yes." The palace maid agreed and hurried towards Qianqing Palace.

　　"Have a good time dressing up, I'll see how you perform later." Turning back, Concubine Chen told a palace maid next to her who had a beautiful face and a proud figure.

　　Last time when I brought soup to the emperor, the emperor didn't even look at me. The palace maid named Chuxue felt a little uneasy. After all, she was still young, and her face couldn't help but show a bit of it.

　　"Wearing this sachet will be good for you." Concubine Chen smiled slightly, asked for a pink sachet from her confidant, and handed it to her.

　　The scent of the sachet is very rich, and it contains thousands of floral fragrances. It is quite intoxicating when you smell it carefully, and you are actually a little bit fascinated after sniffing it for a long time. The nanny next to Concubine Chen helped Chu Xue, who was blushing, her eyes were blurred, and her figure was loose, and she squeezed her arm hard. The severe pain brought Chuxue back to her senses quickly, and then she realized the mystery of the sachet.

　　"First put it on the window sill to freeze, and then wear it when the emperor comes. The smell of this sachet will be stronger when heated, and it can help you." Concubine Chen's eyes swept over Chuxue's spring-filled face, and her eyes showed a slight satisfaction. look.

　　"Did you drink the soup today?" She asked worriedly as she walked back to the hall.

　　"Go back to my wife, drink." Chuxue replied respectfully.

　　"Very good, try to win a man with one fell swoop, and I will not treat you badly in the future. Go down and dress up." Concubine Chen waved her hand, and Chu Xue stepped back shyly, her steps jumping with joy.

　　"Idiot!" Concubine Chen looked at her retreating back and sneered, casually playing with the luxurious gold armor on her fingertips. Even though one can get a boy in one fell swoop by taking those tiger and wolf medicines, the mother's body will also be exhausted by the fetus in her belly, and she will end up bleeding and dying. In the end, she was able to get a prince without any effort.

　　Ha~ Thinking of this, Concubine Chen covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, her eyes filled with pride.

　　In Qianqing Palace, after hearing Chang Xi's report, Emperor Wu of Zhou originally planned to send Imperial Physician Du there, but he did not go there in person. He seemed to have thought of something and changed his mind.

　　"Take the bottle of fairy water you got the day before yesterday." He curled his lips, smiled playfully, put on his big cloak and walked to Zhaochun Palace with his hands behind his back. Chang Xi agreed, took out a small black porcelain bottle from the hidden compartment of the ancient shelf and put it into his arms, with a look of reluctance on his face. He hasn’t had enough of this thing yet!

　　"I see you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Chen's eyes turned red when she saw the man striding forward, and she kept looking away. She shed two lines of hot tears, portraying the image of a caring mother who was deeply worried and loved her son as much as her life.

　　All the women in the palace have good acting skills, including Sang Yu! It's just that Sang Yu likes to use being domineering and cruel to cover up his softness, and these women like to use softness to cover up their cruelty. The former makes people love and the latter makes people hate.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu's sharp eyes swept across Concubine Chen's face, and he went straight to the inner hall without asking her to get up.

　　Concubine Chen looked embarrassed, quickly wiped away her tears, straightened up and hurried to catch up.

　　There are several braziers burning in the inner hall, and the temperature is quite high. Even if you take off your cloak and only wear single clothes, you will still feel a little hot. The Eighth Prince's cheeks were flushed and his breathing was heavy. He slept fairly peacefully and did not cry endlessly as the palace maid described. A girl wearing a pink palace dress was standing by the bed, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, her mouth was slightly pursed, and she had a sad look on her face.

　　Seeing the emperor come in, she quickly knelt down by the bed and whispered her greetings in a sweet and sweet voice.

　　"Have you seen the imperial doctor?" Emperor Wu of Zhou sat on the edge of the bed, placed his hand on the eighth prince's forehead and asked in a low voice, looking at the palace maid as if she was nothing.

　　Chuxue was a little disappointed, and Daliou gathered her energy to reply, "I have reported to the emperor that the empress was very worried and immediately sent the imperial doctor to visit. After drinking the medicine, the eighth prince fell asleep."

　　"How could she have a high fever for no reason?" Emperor Wu of Zhou looked away with cold eyes, his voice was deep, and his eyes lingered on the pink sachet around her waist for a moment. As soon as he came in, he smelled the evil fragrance, like flowers blooming on a rotting corpse, no matter how beautiful it was, it was disgusting.

　　"I don't know, my servant. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Chuxue kowtowed, her expression of sadness adding a bit of endearing charm to her pretty face.

　　"How can I forgive you for not taking good care of your own master? Come here, drag him down and beat him with a cane for eighty minutes." Emperor Wu of Zhou's tone was calm, but the words he said were horrifying. When Concubine De punished the Imperial Guards with her stick, dozens of tough-minded men died when she was beaten with eighty sticks, let alone delicate women? Even if you don't die, you can't run away even if you're paralyzed!

　　Concubine Chen, who entered the inner hall, paused in her steps and looked at the man sitting in the seat with horror and fear. What's going on, Your Majesty? In the past, he would feel distressed for a long time when he frowned, and he would be as enthusiastic as ever after teasing her. How could he become so cold now?

　　"Your Majesty, spare my life!" Chuxue exclaimed, kneeling forward.

　　"Gag your mouth and pull it out!"

　　The fragrance becomes stronger as I get closer, and the hot feeling burns from my heart to my lower abdomen. His son was seriously ill and lying on the bed, but these women wanted to seduce him in front of the sick bed. Thinking of this, Emperor Wu of Zhou had a cold expression, kicked Chu Xue out, and slashed at Concubine Chen with his sharp eyes.

　　Concubine Chen choked for breath and stepped forward with a forced smile, her voice trembling slightly, "I beg the emperor to spare her for my concubine's sake. The emperor is seriously ill and cannot see blood."

　　"Do you think the air in the palace smells good? What will happen if the Eighth Prince smells it? What a loving mother who can't see blood!" Emperor Wu of Zhou sneered and waved to Chang Xi, "Open all the windows and call Imperial Physician Du over and order outside Those who are here, give me a hard beating!"

　　The emperor had often smelled this smell in the past, and he always followed suit. He also had close encounters with him several times in front of the emperor's bed. How could he be so angry today? Concubine Chen was frightened, and she said, "Your Majesty, the emperor has already seen the imperial doctor. Since he is already asleep, forget it. Let's call the imperial doctor Du to see him another day." When the imperial doctor Du comes, the hands and feet she did may not work. exposed.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at her and held the eighth prince's little hand without saying a word. The suffocating pressure spread in the palace, and the blood in Concubine Chen's body froze, and her beating heart almost jumped out of her chest.

　　Within a moment, Doctor Du arrived in a hurry. Smelling the lingering fragrance in the room, he frowned, but said nothing. He stepped forward and took the eighth prince's hand to feel for his pulse.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou walked to the outside of the palace to wait, and Concubine Chen immediately followed suit. She had full confidence in regaining the emperor's favor, but now, she felt more confused than ever. Is the majestic and imposing man in front of me really the same person as the tender emperor before?

　　"Concubine Chen, do you think there is anyone who can make this bodhi flower bloom in winter?" Emperor Wu of Zhou asked with a smile as he walked to a pot of budding bodhi flowers.

　　Concubine Chen breathed a little quickly and said in a trembling voice, "How is that possible?"

　　"Unless the Bodhisattva descends to earth, right?" Emperor Wu of Zhou's smile deepened, and he tapped the bodhi bud with his slender fingertips. He saw the curled-up petals gradually blooming, layer upon layer, and it was so beautiful.

　　Everyone in the palace was stunned, except Concubine Chen and the nun beside her who looked pale.

　　"Bodhisattva came to the world, God bless the great Zhou Dynasty. Do these words sound familiar to you?" Emperor Wu of Zhou turned around, walked up to Concubine Chen, and asked slowly, word by word.

　　Concubine Chen stopped breathing and looked at the man with a horrified expression. There was only one sentence that echoed in her heart: He knows! He knows everything!

　　She found this bodhi flower in bud after a lot of hard work. She sent several pots to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, and asked for a secret medicine from her father, Marquis Yong'an. She only needed to put a few drops on her fingers. Point it, and put it on the bud a little to make the flowers bloom. She originally planned to invite Master Huineng to the palace to discuss Zen principles with the Queen Mother, and use the miracle of the bodhi flower and Master Huineng's reputation to force Concubine De to become a monk. However, she did not expect that the emperor knew everything and even got the secret medicine! terrible!

　　Concubine Chen trembled uncontrollably.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu glanced at her lightly and sat down on the main seat, with an unpredictable expression on his handsome face. But it is even more frightening because he did not ask any questions or take any action.

　　With the help of her confidant, Concubine Chen managed to stand firm, a thin layer of cold sweat forming on her forehead. At this moment, Doctor Du came out and bowed to reply, "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince has had wind evil enter his body. After drinking the medicine, he is no longer in serious trouble. However, his newly recuperated body has failed again. You need to be more careful in the future." . ”

　　"How could wind evil enter the body of such a good person?" Emperor Wu of Zhou asked in a deep voice.

　　"Back to the emperor, either the Eighth Prince has been exposed to cold air for a long time, or the amount of medicine he drinks every day has decreased. It has been cold recently, and Weichen has adjusted the medicine and deliberately added a few herbs to prevent wind evil. If It doesn't matter if you drink it regularly and rationed, and it won't hurt if you are exposed to a little bit of cold air. You shouldn't be so seriously ill." Doctor Du said with determination. He is the Queen Mother's royal physician and lives in Qianfo Mountain all year round. He doesn't need to look at the concubine's face, he naturally has something to say without any cover-up.

　　"Let's prescribe the medicine. Dr. Du needs to pay more attention in these days." After Emperor Zhou Wu finished speaking, he glanced at Concubine Chen with a gloomy look, and Concubine Chen was shaken.

　　Doctor Du thought for a moment, wrote down a prescription and gave it to the palace attendant of Zhaochun Palace. Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't say anything. He passed by Concubine Chen, who had a pale face, and went straight to Qianqing Hall.

　　"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" After everyone left, he helped the limp master to sit down on the throne, and his confidant asked uneasily.

　　"I don't know, just wait!" Concubine Chen's teeth were still chattering, and it took her a long time to utter these words.

　　In the Qianqing Hall, Emperor Wu of Zhou closed his eyes slightly and leaned on the back of his chair to think. Even his only child could do this to him, and the cruelty of the women in the harem once again opened his eyes. He was an emperor after all. Apart from Sang Yu, he had never thought carefully about any woman's thoughts. He walked all the way back to Qianqing Palace to understand their thoughts. They plan to use palace maids or low-ranking concubines to give birth to children. Once they have healthy children, the weak children will naturally be useless, and they will not hesitate to abandon or even poison them.

　　"Haha, it is indeed the most poisonous woman's heart." He sneered in a deep voice, picked up the royal pen, and quickly wrote an imperial edict: Concubine Chen is unfavorable in taking care of the emperor's heir, and she will be demoted to a concubine with immediate effect, and she will move to the side hall of Zhaochun Palace, with the order He took care of the eighth prince day and night to atone for his sins. In the future, if the eighth prince is seriously ill and has ten sticks, Shang Yao will be demoted to a lower-class palace maid and assigned to the Huanyi Bureau.

　　"After the imperial edict is promulgated, you go there a few more times and tell the prince's mothers and concubines that if anything happens to the prince due to their poor care, they will also handle it accordingly." Putting down the pen, Emperor Wu of Zhou rubbed his brow and added He said, "From now on, place a few people around the princes and princesses and report the situation to me at any time. Go ahead."

　　Chang Xi accepted the order and expressed great sympathy for Concubine Chen in his heart. Being downgraded by nine levels in a row is nothing, what is tragic is the last sentence. It was common for the Eighth Prince to be poisoned and suffer from minor illnesses for three days and one major illness for five days. In addition, after today's torment, his body and bones were even weaker. No matter how carefully Concubine Chen takes care of her in the future, she won't be able to escape after just one meal in these three to five days! Before the eighth prince dies of illness, it is very likely that Concubine Chen will die before the eighth prince. Even if she is lucky enough to survive, she will not be able to escape the fate of being demoted as a palace maid. Your Majesty, this is a soft knife that kills without showing any blood!

　　In Zhaochun Palace, Concubine Chen received the imperial edict and immediately collapsed on the ground. No matter how the maids around her called her, she would not wake up. After hearing the news, several other princes, mothers and concubines stopped their thoughts and focused on taking care of their children. The imperial doctors became busy for a while.
