Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 81

Chapter 81 Pregnant

　　The imperial doctor arrived soon, with a layer of sweat on his forehead. He walked into the side hall and was about to salute, but the emperor stopped him with a cold voice, "When is it time to salute? Come quickly and show the imperial concubine!"

　　The imperial doctor agreed and hurriedly stepped forward to check her pulse, but saw that the emperor had already rolled up the imperial concubine's sleeves and covered her wrist with a piece of bright yellow silk, showing great care and attention.

　　Seeing this situation, the imperial doctor did not dare to take it lightly and responded with all his energy.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu stepped aside and stood with his hands behind his back. His dark eyes stared at Sang Yu's pale face for a moment, for fear that she would disappear if he made a wrong glance.

　　"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Liang Fei called out several times but saw no reaction from the Emperor. With a flash of her eyes, she boldly stepped forward to tug at his sleeves.

　　"What are you doing?" Emperor Wu of Zhou suddenly fluttered his sleeves and looked at Concubine Liang who fell to the ground. The evil spirit surging in the dark eyes frightened Concubine Liang.

　　"Back to the emperor, I just want to ask, what should I do about the draft in the main palace?" Liang Fei got up in embarrassment, tears welling up in her eyes. The emperor just now was so terrifying. Before he even touched his sleeves, his fierce expression seemed to kill him. Don't you have the qualifications to even touch him?

　　"We will wait until the imperial concubine wakes up. Please step back first!" Emperor Zhou Wu lowered his voice and sounded extremely impatient.

　　Concubine De was the first to retreat and waited outside the palace. When she saw Concubine Xian and the other three coming out with pale faces, she gave them a sarcastic smile. Because of the emperor in the palace, the three of them dared not speak out in anger.

　　"If you want to live a peaceful life, I advise you not to go against the imperial concubine." She curled her lips and whispered.

　　The three of them straightened their backs and left in a hurry, not knowing whether they listened to her words. Concubine De shook her head and sighed, standing quietly on the corridor and looking at the majestic palace in the distance.

　　"Why do you need to remind them? Wouldn't it be better to let them die?" Her confidant maid came up and spoke angrily.

　　"I don't want to remind them, I'm just afraid that they will be stupid and harm me." Concubine De waved her hand.

　　The palace maid nodded with concern and asked, "My dear, aren't we leaving?"

　　"Wait until the imperial concubine wakes up before leaving. The draft is not over halfway yet, so we have to get permission from the emperor or the imperial concubine." She rubbed her forehead, her face full of exhaustion, and she missed the leisurely and quiet life in the past. However, precisely because of her promotion, my aunt's life in the mansion was much easier, which can be considered a gain and a loss.

　　At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly erupted in the palace, and the deep and rich voice was filled with unmistakable ecstasy, which made the palace people outside the palace couldn't help but smile.

　　Concubine De and the palace maid looked at each other and said in unison, "It's the Emperor!"

　　"The Emperor is so happy, it must be because the Imperial Concubine has good news!" Concubine De guessed, but her tone was very firm. This was not the emperor's first child, but the emperor was overjoyed. This shows the emperor's love for the imperial concubine. That's fine, she has no intention of striving for the top, she just wants to live a stable life.

　　In the main hall of the Chuxiu Palace, Meng Ruizhu walked out and stood with the selected show girl. The expression on her face was very indifferent, but her heart was surging inside. Seeing that she didn't show any concern about the imperial concubine's fainting, the ladies secretly exchanged contemptuous glances.

　　The three concubines and concubines turned around the verandah and saw Meng Ruizhu. The evil fire in their hearts finally had a way to vent. Concubine Xian waved, called a eunuch to whisper a few words, then smiled distantly at Meng Ruizhu and walked into the main hall.

　　Because they were too far apart, Meng Ruizhu couldn't see her cold eyes, so she thought the alliance between the two was still strong and nodded slightly in greeting.

　　The eunuch came over and shouted in a sharp voice, "According to the emperor's decree, Meng Ruizhude's words and appearance are slightly flawed, so he will be removed from the list of selected young masters!"

　　"How, how is it possible!" Meng Ruizhu murmured, her body was shaky, she grabbed the eunuch and asked sternly, "Father, did you hear wrongly?"

　　"The Emperor is visiting the Imperial Concubine in the side hall. Who dares to falsely preach the Holy Oracle under his nose? If you don't believe it, you can go and ask." Although I know that this person is the Imperial Concubine's sister, it is obvious that she and the Emperor The relationship between the noble concubine and the noble concubine was not harmonious, so the eunuch dared to accept the favor of the virtuous concubine and come to spread the word.

　　It is a capital offense to falsely preach the Holy Edict. How dare a little eunuch dare? Meng Ruizhu didn't need to ask, she slumped to the ground in a flash. She should have known earlier, how could she defeat Meng Sangyu on her own? Even if he passed the palace election, wouldn't it still be possible for her to change the outcome easily? In the end, she was also stigmatized as having "little flaws in her virtue, appearance, appearance, and merit." It would be difficult to marry into a good family after leaving home! Thinking that she had laughed at Yu Yage for being stupid, but then turned around and followed in her footsteps, Meng Ruizhu covered her face with regret.

　　"Second Miss Meng, get up quickly. Go back and wash your face, pack your things and go home." Chang Gui had already been instructed by the imperial concubine to not let Meng Ruizhu fall into disrepute of the Meng family. Seeing that she was in such a miserable state and being treated as a joke by all the beautiful ladies, they hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

　　With Chang Gui coming forward, the show girls remembered that she had a sister who dominated the harem, and immediately concealed the ridicule on their faces.

　　Meng Ruizhu came to her senses, wiped the tears on her face hastily, straightened her back and left. After she was out of everyone's sight, she staggered a bit, feeling panicked and not knowing how to go back and face her father. Her father had been talking to her for a long time and wanted to choose a well-to-do family for her to live in peace and stability, but she was not satisfied and it was self-defeating. When her father asks about the situation, he will definitely stop making plans for her. As for her aunt, because she had been supported by her grandmother since she was a child, she was very disrespectful to her and her relationship was very bad. How could her aunt worry about her marriage?

　　The more Meng Ruizhu thought about it, the more desperate she became. When she returned to her bedroom, she collapsed on the bed unable to move, her hands and feet getting cold.

　　In the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, Meng Sangyu woke up slowly, only to see Emperor Zhou Wu's head pressed against her belly, as if listening to something. A big hand reached into her clothes and rubbed her lower abdomen gently, causing a numbness and itch. meaning.

　　"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Meng Sangyu smiled and hurriedly grabbed his wanton hand. This man always likes to make weird moves and is clingy, as if he has a large dog.

　　"Sang Yu, you're awake!" The man raised his head in surprise, his dark and deep eyes in the past now shining like cold stars in the sky. He pulled her into his arms, kissed her hair and cheeks carefully, and murmured, "Did you know you're pregnant? It's been a month and a half! We're going to have a baby!"

　　Pregnant? How can it be? A thunder exploded in his mind, and Meng Sangyu was immediately stunned.

　　There is no doubt that the arrival of this child was not expected! She had already planned her life, and she could live a simple and happy life alone. If she added children... the children were not kittens or puppies, they would only live according to the wishes of their masters. When they grow up, they will always have their own ideas. When they see the supreme throne and the majestic palace, who can guarantee that they will not be deceived by power and participate in the endless battles? If you win, you will be at a high place but if you lose, you will be in an abyss. Every road is full of thorns and ups and downs! Can she really hook up with herself and the Meng family to gamble on this? Maybe she thought too far, maybe the child would die due to other people's calculations before she could wait until that day. Is she really capable of protecting him from growing up safely?

　　And the man in front of him didn't have any feelings when he got pregnant when the Meng family was at its peak? No, haven’t you been taking medicine? How could there be a child? Could it be that those medicines are really medicines for regulating the body, and the birth of this child was also expected by the man? What does he want to do?

　　Thinking of this, overwhelming panic occupied Meng Sangyu's heart, and the man's next words made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

　　"Sang Yu, I want to make you the queen and our child the prince!" He sounded very excited and kept kissing her cheeks and lips.

　　In an instant, he thought of what happened to the Queen Mother, of the Qing Dynasty's struggle to seize the rightful son, and of the tragic fate of every prince in history. Meng Sangyu trembled uncontrollably, pushed the man away, got out of bed and knelt on the ground. She kowtowed heavily and said, "I beg the Emperor to take back my life!" Her tone was full of fear, and her cheeks were as pale as paper.

　　"What are you doing?" Emperor Zhou Wu was pushed away and was a little stunned for a moment. After regaining consciousness, he quickly pulled the woman, but she stubbornly broke away with amazing strength.

　　"Please, Your Majesty, take back your life!" She kowtowed again, her hair disheveled and in a state of utter disarray.

　　"Sang Yu, are you crazy?" Emperor Zhou Wu asked through gritted teeth. He clamped his arms hard, pulled her into his arms, and sat on his knees. He was very confused, and Sang Yu's reaction was completely beyond his expectation.

　　"I'm not crazy!" she shouted, the blood in her body was frozen, but a fire was burning in her heart, burning away her reason.

　　"You pushed him to a position below one person and above ten thousand people when he was so young. What on earth do you want to do? Growing up on the cusp of the storm, do you know how many hardships and calculations he will suffer? If he starts to covet you as an adult Position, will you get rid of him mercilessly? If his talent is mediocre, will he become a grinding stone for the heir you like? I can be your shield, I can take charge of palace affairs for you, select concubines, I can comply with anything you do. Please let this child go, okay?" Her voice went from high to low, and the more she spoke, the more helpless she became.

　　She can control her own life, but she has no confidence to shoulder the future of a child and let him grow up healthy and happy. She had never been a mother in two lifetimes, and had never had the idea of ​​becoming a mother. The huge psychological pressure was unbearable for her. What's more, behind the pregnancy, there was a man's ulterior motives hidden, and she felt like she was on the verge of collapse.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou had a ferocious expression on his face. He kept tightening his hands on her shoulders and said through gritted teeth, "How could we be willing to hurt you and the child! I've done so much, is this how you see me? Ah? You don't have the slightest bit of my sincerity. Can’t you feel it? I really want to dig out your heart and see if it’s made of stone!”

　　"Sincerity? There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and there is an election every three years. How much sincerity can you give to me? Today I am your best friend, how can I know that I won't become a thorn in your heart tomorrow? Keep everything together. You have turned into a dodder flower that relies on you to live, waiting for rejection sooner or later, I am not that stupid!" With a high-pitched voice, Meng Sangyu vented out the truest thoughts in his heart desperately.

　　Aunt Feng and others were frightened. Chang Xi stood close to the wall, trying his best to reduce his presence. All the palace members trembled at the imperial concubine's rebellious remarks. The palace was deathly silent except for the emperor's heavy breathing.

　　Meng Sangyu regretted the words as soon as she said them. Seeing the man's increasingly ferocious expression, and feeling that her shoulders were about to be crushed by him, she couldn't help but scream in pain, and a tear fell from the corner of her eyes.

　　Seeing these tears, Emperor Zhou Wu woke up from the edge of rage in time and immediately slowed down the strength in his hands. He stared deeply at the woman's pale face with his blood-red eyes. Seeing a trace of fear in her eyes, he smiled miserably, placed her on the bed, tucked her in and strode away.

　　Even though there was overwhelming anger in his heart, even if he wanted to destroy the entire palace, in front of Sang Yu, he was still unwilling to hurt her in the slightest, and had no choice but to escape.
