After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Shangguan Bailin was older and more sensible, ahem, but he didn't understand much. He probably figured it out, and his brows relaxed. "If that's the case, then let's save the Grandmother."

"it is good!"

Shangguan Qiyou and Shangguan Qingyue looked at each other and saw the fighting spirit to do something big in each other's eyes!

The pets surrounding his feet seemed to feel his owner's excitement and barked even more happily.

"We need to prepare the tools first. Glutinous rice is easy to find, and so is the peach wood sword, but the black dog blood..."

Shangguan Qingyue's eyebrows were twisted together with worry.

Just then, "Woof woof!"

Sanwa looked at Taowu, who was dressed in black.

Taowu: Hmm... why do I sense a dangerous aura?

Shangguan Qingyue waved his hands when he saw this, "No, no, we can't kill it to take its blood!"

Kill it and take its blood?

Taowu was startled when he heard the sound, and then he arched his little body towards Shangguan Qingyue's calf, "Woof woof! (Master, save me!)"

Shangguan Bailin sighed and advised, "Don't you want to give the emperor a surprise? Don't you want your mother to praise you?"

Shangguan Qiyou agreed, "Yes, yes, if mother comes back and knows that you defeated the zombies and saved everyone in the palace, she will definitely be proud of you!"

Shangguan Qingyue's eyebrows instantly drooped into a splayed shape, and her mouth flattened. She was extremely conflicted. It was obvious that her two brothers' words really moved her. "But..."

Shangguan Qingyue looked at Taowu, [Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both filial and righteous. Woohoo... I can only sacrifice you first. ]

Seeing this, the other few had already run away. When Taowu saw Shangguan Qingyue's appearance, he was instantly struck by lightning and his cries became weaker.

Well, he was abandoned by his master...

The master wants to kill it and bleed it, but... master, it's not a real dog, its blood is useless!!!

"Woof woof woof!!!"

Shangguan Qingyue retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up his mind, "Okay! But you have to be gentle!"

Seeing that Shangguan Qingyue agreed, Shangguan Bailin said, "Then let's send it to the small kitchen and let the imperial chef bleed it!"

"Okay!" The two kids nodded.

Shangguan Bailin was about to hug Taowu, but Taowu whimpered, and his hair stood up in fear, especially his cactus-like tail, which stood straight up. He stared at Shangguan Bailin in front of him in a defensive and alert posture.

Just when Shangguan Bailin's hand was half an inch away from Taowu, Taowu suddenly bared his teeth, then shrank his head, and rolled his body like a wave. Then he opened his mouth and vomited a stream of blood.

Shangguan Bailin: ...

Shangguan Qiyou: ...

Shangguan Qingyue: ...

The other three: ...

When Shangguan Qingyue saw Taowu vomiting blood, he hurried forward, raised his hand and touched its head, and asked distressedly, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"Woof~ (Master, there is blood, will you not kill me?)"

Shangguan Qingyue raised his eyebrows, [You are quite clever! ]

Shangguan Bailin was still confused as to why the dog suddenly vomited blood, but Shangguan Qiyou had already reacted and said excitedly: "Second brother, there is black dog blood, there is!"

"But it's not enough..."

Shangguan Bailin looked at the small puddle on the ground and said.

Upon hearing this, Taowu paused for a moment, then his body kept squirming and he started to vomit. Shangguan Qingyue hurriedly took something to catch the vomit, filling up a teapot. However, Taowu was not finished yet and continued to vomit. Shangguan Qiyou also went to get a half-person-high bottle to catch the vomit, and before long, the bottle was full.

Shangguan Qingyue touched Taowu's head and said, "Don't vomit anymore. That's enough."

Upon hearing this, Taowu closed his mouth, burped, and raised his head, looking a little bit proud.

"Woof! (Am I easy? Woo woo…)"

Shangguan Qingyue stood up with a small teapot in hand, "Erdede, we have collected the black dog blood, can we start now?"

Shangguan Bailin looked at the black dog blood in his brother and sister's hands in surprise, then looked at Taowu and scratched his head in confusion. How could such a small dog have so much blood?

However, his brothers and sisters were urging him more and more urgently, leaving him no time to think. Shangguan Bailin checked and found that the black dog blood in the vessel was thick and sticky, bright red and smelly. It must be the best black dog blood!

"Okay, once we get the sticky rice and the peach wood sword, we can set out to march towards the Cining Palace!"

"it is good!"

The three children worked together. Shangguan Bailin asked someone to fetch the peach wood sword he played with when he was a child. There was a small sword tassel on it. He held it and gestured seriously, saying, "This peach wood sword was given to me by my father. The sword tassel was tied by my mother herself. It will definitely bless us to victory!"

Shangguan Qiyou and Shangguan Qingyue looked at each other and nodded firmly.

"lets go!"

"So, I will be the vanguard, Qi You will be the center, and Yue Er will be the rear!"

Shangguan Qingyue: "But aren't there too few of us?"

Shangguan Bailin thought for a moment and said, "Then bring your dog and sheep with you!"

"Okay!" The little guy opened his mouth in a baby voice.

The three kids set off in an orderly queue, with Shangguan Bailin in the lead, holding a peach wood sword, Shangguan Qiyou in the middle holding a bottle, Shangguan Qingyue at the end holding a teapot, and the five pets following behind.

The palace servants passing by the Guangming Palace were amazed by the scene and thought the young masters were just playing house, so they didn't pay much attention.

After leaving the palace gate, they met the palace servants who were waiting in the Cining Palace. The palace servants were surprised, but they didn't worry about it. One of them jumped to Shangguan Qingyue and said respectfully: "Young lady, the Queen Mother invites you..."

Shangguan Qingyue's eyes lit up when he heard this, [The Queen Mother also knows that my brothers and I can eliminate zombies? ]

[It seems that the Queen Mother has some vision! Since she has such good vision, my brothers and I will save her! ]

Shangguan Qingyue looked at Shangguan Bailin and Shangguan Qiyou excitedly. Shangguan Bailin nodded at her and then said to the palace servants in a serious tone, "You go back first, we will follow!"

The palace maids were stunned for a moment, thinking that the Queen Mother ordered them to capture the young lady, so they had to go no matter what... Never mind, just go!

The palace servants agreed and retreated servilely.

After everyone left, Shangguan Qiyou said, "Since the Queen Mother has something to ask of us, let's go quickly!"

Shangguan Bailin nodded.

There was undisguised excitement and happiness in Sanwa's eyes.

……

A perfect day starts with a quiet morning.

Shangguan Shu had his meal and took his medicine, then he pretended to be injured and tricked Zhao Ying into coming over to see him, and then he read a book and rested contentedly.

In the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Jianxi left the court happily. Thinking of how the Empress Dowager would be so angry when he left, Emperor Jianxi felt even happier.

It happened that the old duke came to the palace to give something to Shangguan Shu, and it seemed that he was going to live in Guangming Palace permanently. Emperor Jianxi saw through it but did not say it out loud. He kept the old duke and played a few games of chess with him.

After dismissing the palace maids, they started playing the game of sticking notes.

After a few rounds, the old Duke's face was covered with stickers.

Emperor Jianxi laughed so hard that his beard flew everywhere. He pointed at the old Duke and said, "You are such a lousy chess player and you have not improved in all these years."

Old Duke: If you think my chess skills are bad, why don’t you find someone who is better?

However, he praised Emperor Jianxi a lot, and he was in such a good mood than the weather outside.

In fact, Emperor Jianxi and the old Duke are equally good at chess, and both are poor at it. It is not easy to get one of them, and to get them together is even harder than shooting the halberd at the gate. But how could an event with such a high probability happen?

The reason is... the old Duke was Emperor Jianxi's first Go teacher!

Some things are rotten from the root...

Emperor Jianxi had an unfortunate childhood. He was neglected by the previous emperor, his biological mother died early, his stepmother treated him harshly, his brothers were domineering, and he was raised in the palace of the previous emperor's concubine Jin, who was cowardly and unfavored. It was already difficult for him to have enough food and clothing, let alone a good upbringing.

Emperor Jianxi was able to become successful thanks to his father, Empress Xiaomin, who was enshrined in the Taimiao.
