Those are Legends as far as I know, I don't remember any of them in the new canon.

There was several instances where Vader could have just let Palpatine die but chose to save him. For example

Sidious almost being killed by a bomb placed in his chair or when he was dying and needed medicial help from the Jedi prison.

Yet, this same Vader plotted multiple times and recruited people to try and help him take Sidious out so he could rule.

So why then if vader wanted Sidious dead, would he go out of his WAY countless times to save his life?

Don't underestimate the Emperor, many of these instances were tests of loyalty. The only real instance was the poison gas attack, but remember, one of Sidious' greatest powers was manipulation; a web of manipulation Darth Vader was tangled in.
