Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 64

Chapter 64 green head brand

　　The morning session in the Hall of Supreme Harmony had just begun, but the Queen Mother's morning class had already ended. Meng Sangyu and Li Zhaoyi accompanied the Queen Mother on the left and right as they walked slowly towards the main hall of Cining Palace. The atmosphere today was unusual. The concubines waiting in front of the palace were still unwilling to leave at Mao hour. They all knelt at the door, as if they would not give up until they saw the Queen Mother.

　　"Let them come in." The Queen Mother sat down on the main seat and ordered with a calm expression.

　　Meng Sangyu secretly thought about the purpose of these women's coming, and had some calculations in his mind. Li Zhaoyi sat under her, looking at her nose and heart, like an old monk in meditation.

　　"I have met the Queen Mother." All the concubines bowed to the ground and saluted. Li Zhaoyi stepped aside to avoid them, while Meng Sangyu accepted them calmly. Among everyone present, she had the highest status except the Queen Mother, so she accepted this gift with peace of mind.

　　"What brings you here?" The Queen Mother asked unhurriedly, twisting her prayer beads.

　　"I beg the Queen Mother to show mercy and spare Concubine Liang's death!" Concubine Xian stepped forward on her knees and kowtowed heavily. The other concubines echoed in unison, even Concubine Chen who was haggard and gray-faced. No, she is Concubine Chen now. , there was also a trace of brilliance in his eyes, which was the brilliance of hatred.

　　Yesterday, Jinyiwei's investigation into Taishi Shen's party was coming to an end. Several concubines in the palace who were attached to Shen Huiru were demoted to inferior palace maids and assigned to the Yi Bureau, and their families were also confiscated. It was expected that the Shen family would be exterminated in the near future, and the concubines who hated Shen Huiru deeply could not sit still.

　　This is indeed what happened! Meng Sangyu nodded secretly. Seeing that the Queen Mother's eyes were slightly closed and indifferent, she also stood up and knelt in the crowd. She would not think that these women were doing something good for Shen Huiru after being poisoned like this. They were probably just trying to make Shen Huiru live longer and live a life worse than death in order to repay the pain she had inflicted on herself.

　　She was also the victim of suffering. Although Shen Huiru's poisonous plan failed, as long as she thought of her father being trapped in the swamp and almost dying, she wished she could skin and dismember Shen Huiru. However, she had a sense of style. She knew someone was doing the work for her, so she didn't dirty her hands. She just drank a lot of precious medicinal materials every day, and even chanted sutras to pray for her longevity.

　　Li Zhaoyi, who was in trance, opened her eyes, placed the Buddhist beads in her hand on the desk, slowly knelt beside Meng Sangyu, and kowtowed heavily. She didn't say anything, but the bottomless hatred in her eyes was shocking. If it hadn't been for Shen Huiru, what kind of heroic and extraordinary man would her prince have grown into in the future? But now...

　　The Queen Mother sighed, glanced at the hatred-filled eyes of the people sitting down, and admired the good concubine. For a woman to be so scheming and vicious, she is capable of causing such a bloody feud! To deal with such a person, the Queen Mother privately thought that she would kill him cleanly, but the Emperor had already predicted it and ordered her to agree to the concubines' request, so she had no choice but to do so.

　　"You guys, get up. The Ai family will advise the emperor to spare Concubine Liang's life." Waving her hands, the Queen Mother spoke helplessly.

　　The concubines burst into tears of gratitude and kowtowed three times. It was really rare to see such a concerted effort.

　　"Get up. You won't come to the Aijia tomorrow to pay your respects. The Aijia will leave the palace affairs to Concubine De, and you can just ask her if you have anything to do." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she looked towards Meng Sangyu and said in a cautious tone, "This is Phoenix Seal, you have it, don’t let the Ai family down!"

　　"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your trust. I will do my best!" Meng Sangyu knelt down and respectfully accepted the phoenix seal handed over by Grandma Jin.

　　The faces of the concubines who had just smiled immediately turned gloomy, and their pretended indifferent expressions looked extremely stiff. At this time, their intestines were turning green with regret, and they deeply regretted why they did not insist on staying in Cining Palace to accompany the Queen Mother that day. Concubine De was indeed Concubine De, and she was so skillful that she actually coaxed the Queen Mother to hand over the Phoenix Seal! If they had known that they could move the Queen Mother with their filial piety, they would have fought for it even if they risked becoming a monk!

　　"Okay, please step aside. The Ai family is tired." Not happy with the jealousy emanating from the concubines, the Queen Mother waved her hand impatiently. Before leaving her seat, she patted Meng Sangyu on the shoulder and said softly, "Good boy, if you have any questions Come to Cining Palace to look for the Aijia. As the saying goes, flowers don’t bloom for a hundred days, and people don’t stay good for a thousand days. If something happens in the future, you can write a letter to the Aijia, and the Aijia will send someone to pick you up."

　　Of!

　　Feeling her heartfelt closeness, the Queen Mother smiled slightly and took Li Zhaoyi to the Buddhist hall. The remaining palace servants had already received the emperor's order and quickly helped Concubine De to pack her luggage and move back to Bixiao Palace.

　　The main hall of Bixiao Palace has already burned a hot earth dragon to welcome the return of the master. After a few days of absence, many potted plants have been added to the hall, all of which are extremely precious and rare varieties.

　　"Where did these potted plants come from?" Meng Sangyu held up a "Yao Huang" and admired it admiringly.

　　"Back to your Majesty, these are sent by the emperor." The eunuch in charge of Bixiao Palace hurriedly stepped forward to reply.

　　Sending flowers and dogs, this rhythm looks like pursuit. Meng Sangyu's heart moved slightly, and he quickly drove this absurd idea out of his mind. If you want to fall in love already, why wait until three years later? It was just to appease my father for his great achievements.

　　Thinking of this, she shook her head and sneered, put down the potted plant, picked up Erbao at her feet and walked around the hall, "Erbao, this is your new home. Have you seen this small copper plate filled with sand? This is your toilet, this The small bowl is for drinking water, this one is for eating, and this basket is for sleeping..."

　　While she was explaining, she observed Er Bao's performance. She saw that Er Bao's eyes were wet and confused. Although he looked cute, he lacked some aura and was not as smart as Ah Bao. Her beautiful eyebrows could not help but frown slightly. Showing a bit of sadness.

　　"Empress, not every dog ​​is as smart as A Bao. But Er Bao is A Bao's younger brother after all. Just train him more." Bishui saw that the empress' expression was wrong and quickly spoke to comfort her.

　　"I know. Every dog ​​is a different individual, and Erbao also has the cuteness of Erbao. It would be unfair to him if I always compare him with Ah Bao. Since I have decided to raise him, I will Use all my patience." After Meng Sangyu finished speaking, he pressed a kiss on Erbao's forehead.

　　Erbao felt his master's care and started to coquettishly, making Meng Sangyu laugh again and again, and the gloomy atmosphere was swept away. Grandma Feng came in with a small wooden box and a happy face.

　　"Mother, this is a dog tag sent by someone from the Internal Affairs and Construction Office. You put it on Erbao." Opening the wooden box, a jade pei-sized rosewood nameplate with a hollow pattern of auspicious clouds lay on the black velvet, " The five large gilt characters "The Second Treasure of Bixiao Palace" are very eye-catching, and even more eye-catching is the golden royal seal in the bottom corner of the dog tag.

　　"How could it be so fast?" Meng Sangyu picked up the nameplate, rubbed the dents of the gold seal with his fingertips, and raised his eyebrows in question.

　　"Eunuch Chang Xi ordered the craftsmen to work day and night." Grandma Feng smiled so hard that her teeth couldn't even see her eyes. The empress has just received the Phoenix Seal. Who in the palace is not allowed to give Bixiao Palace some respect?

　　"Well, Yincui, take out the clothes that Ah Bao wore before, and I'll put them on Er Bao, and tie the name tag on him. You can take him out to play later."

　　Stringing the nameplate together with a piece of calfskin, Meng Sangyu traced the length on Erbao's neck. Bishui lowered his head and looked at the nameplate carefully, and sighed with envy, "This brand is really valuable. Even if there are not five words written by the emperor, the gold seal the size of a fingernail is enough for the second treasure in the palace." He walked sideways. If Po also has such a piece, why..."

　　Her unfinished words were lost in the sound of Nanny Feng's cough.

　　Meng Sangyu smiled bitterly and said sarcastically, "No matter how genuine the fakes are, they can't replace the real ones! The gap is obvious as soon as we compare. Po's bad luck and he didn't catch up."

　　Bishui and Nanny Feng lowered their heads and said nothing. Yincui found a set of small cotton-padded jackets, and the master and servants worked together to put them on Erbao. At this moment, a eunuch stood outside the palace asking to see him.

　　"Come in, have you found out?" Meng Sangyu waved him in and asked in a low voice.

　　"Back to your Majesty, there were dozens of people in the court impeaching the Duke, but they were all suppressed by the Emperor. The execution of the prisoners of war was originally the Emperor's order and had nothing to do with the Duke. The prince did not cause any trouble in the court." The eunuch bowed. body and report the news one by one.

　　"Very well, let's go down and receive the reward." After dismissing the eunuch, Meng Sangyu looked thoughtful: Killing the prisoners of war was actually the emperor's order. If it was detrimental to the Meng family, he could use this impeachment incident to force his father to hand over The military power brought the Meng family army to eternal infamy. My father had to get an oral order, and there was no physical evidence or human witness. He had to have his teeth knocked out and his blood swallowed, and he was expelled from the court in an extremely humiliating way.

　　But he didn't do that. Instead, he shouldered the responsibility. What was he planning to do? Moreover, why did you test yourself with words yesterday? Did he see something? Meng Sangyu's forehead throbbed, and he felt that he could not figure out the man's thoughts. Forget it, anyway, my father will take the initiative to hand over military power and submit a letter to become an official. There is no need to be afraid of the man's calculations. He only needs to remain unchanged in response to changes.

　　Sensing the danger hidden behind this incident, Meng Sangyu clenched his fists and became more wary of the man, which had just been reduced.

　　In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Wu of Zhou was still dealing with the mountain of memorials. Chang Xi stood guard at the entrance of the palace and saw a eunuch slowly approaching with a tray. He quickly reached out to stop him, "What are you doing?"

　　"Eunuch Chang Xi, the emperor has already recovered from his injuries and can turn over the green cards." The eunuch replied in a low voice. The emperor had not passed on the green-headed cards for a long time, and he did not dare to bring them to him without permission. However, after receiving heavy rewards from several empresses, he thought that since his life was not in danger, he might as well come and take a trip.

　　Green head brand? The eunuch in the respectful room! Chang Xi reacted immediately and waved the eunuch in. Concubine De is in good health and should be able to sleep with her. If she waits any longer, the dark circles under the emperor's eyes may not disappear for the rest of his life. He thought to himself.

　　"This servant has seen the emperor." The eunuch walked into the palace and knelt down.

　　"What's the matter?" Emperor Zhou Wu asked without raising his head.

　　"Back to the emperor, this servant is here to deliver green-head cards. Please choose." The eunuch took a few steps forward and held the tray in front of the man.

　　Green head brand? Emperor Zhou Wu raised his eyes and looked at the tray. When he saw Sang Yu's name brand mixed with the concubines, like goods for anyone to choose from, he suddenly felt extremely angry. How come his mulberry trees are so lowly that people can pick and play with them casually? Thinking that the fake had picked up Sang Yu's name brand and had dirty thoughts towards Sang Yu, his dark eyes immediately turned red.

　　"Chang Xi, drag this slave out and give him a fifty-fifty stick!" He put down his imperial pen and shouted with an evil spirit.

　　Chang Xi was startled, and quickly called two guards to pull the frightened eunuch out. The tray fell to the ground with a clang, and the green-headed cards were scattered all over the floor.

　　"Burn all these signs! You are not allowed to appear in front of me in the future!" He raised his head in disgust. After all the signs were cleared away, he calmed down his anger and asked in a deep voice, "Has Concubine De moved back?"

　　"Your Majesty, we moved back." Chang Xi quickly bowed and answered.

　　"Well, let's go out." The man's gloomy expression softened, he picked up the pen and continued to correct the memorial, but the speed was much faster than before, and the corners of his straight mouth were slightly raised.

　　Chang Xi secretly looked at the emperor's expression, and withdrew while thinking, "The emperor's heart is unpredictable."
