The hall was empty, and her breathing seemed to be heard clearly, Zhao Yu walked to her side step by step, and lifted the cyan veil.

Her face was calm, as if she had really fallen asleep.

"Why do you do that, does it feel good to be on the cusp?" he sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched her still red face, and muttered to himself, "Does it hurt?"

Zhou Jinhuan didn't sleep at all, Zhao Yu's words were heard in her ears, and the sentence "Does it hurt" made her heart beat violently, and her eyelashes fluttered.

Zhao Yu is a meticulous person, especially now that all his thoughts are on her face, it is difficult not to notice her abnormality.

He retracted his hand stupidly, and his voice became a little cold: "Since you're awake, don't pretend to be asleep anymore, get up, I have something to ask you." ”

It was a little embarrassing to be found to be asleep, Zhou Jinhuan originally wanted to continue pretending to be asleep, but he opened his eyes when he sensed an invisible pressure, and the result was ......

"What are you doing?" she reflexively pushed him and quickly sat up from the bed, but Zhao Yu didn't expect her to be so sensitive, without any defense, she was pushed five meters away, and almost fell to the ground.

"That, I'm sick, others are too close to me, I'll be nervous, so ......" Seeing Zhao Yu coming with anger, Zhou Jinhuan looked at the wall behind her, and could only explain out loud, hoping that her anger could be reduced.

"I see that you are sick!" Zhao Yu walked up to her in a few steps and hugged her, she was pregnant, her belly was big, but her waist was still thin. His originally high anger suddenly dropped, and his fingers brushed over her face, and he whispered in her ear: "I see that your face is still frighteningly red, is there no medicine?"

"Yes, can you let me go first, you pressed my stomach. "Whenever he approached, she would get nervous, it was the fear of him before, it was the after-effects, she had never been able to overcome it.

"We are obviously standing opposite each other, and it's not me pressing on you, how can it press on your stomach?" Zhao Yu was explaining seriously, but no matter how he sounded like he was playing hooligan, Zhou Jinhuan's face turned even redder, and he didn't pin his hopes on him, and struggled to push him away.

Zhao Yu's words didn't mean to be a hooligan, but he hoped in his heart that Zhou Jinhuan would listen to those words as a hooligan, the fact is that she did listen to it like that, but her reaction after that was completely wrong.

The ambiguity turned into embarrassment, and her way to break the embarrassment was to drive him away.

"If there is nothing to do, please ask the emperor to go back first, I need to rest here. ”

Zhou Jinhuan gave the order to evict the guests, and then put all his thoughts on the tea on the table, and didn't even roll his eyes at Zhao Yu.

"Zhou Jinhuan, what do you think I came to Changle Palace for?" Zhao Yu's words can be regarded as stumped Zhou Jinhuan, I saw her eyebrows wrinkled, as if she thought of something terrible, and her face was ugly.

"Let's talk about it, why are you pretending to be a ghost?" Zhao Yu finally found an excuse, an excuse to stay in Changle Palace for a while.

"I just moved to this Changle Palace, and I still heard a lot of old things from the palace people, how can I pretend to be a ghost?" She sat down and rubbed her temples, this is a habit that Xiao Jingzhi has passed on to her, whenever she encounters something difficult, she will do this.

"Do you think I really don't know anything?" Zhao Yu understood the words, but Zhou Jinhuan said stiffly: "If the emperor has real evidence, just send me to Dali Temple, if you just come here and talk about it." ”

She thinks that there is nothing missing in the plan, even if the people from Dali Temple come to check, they can't find anything.

However, after Zhao Yu heard her words, he didn't reply for a long time, just stared at her with those eyes, and when she pursed the corners of her mouth, she opened her mouth: "The world is all mine, how do you think I want to move you, what will Dali Temple say?"

This is hooligan thinking, Zhou Jinhuan was choked by his shamelessness and had nothing to say.

"You first reveal the child's affairs to Wei'er, Wei'er's heart-like person, naturally will find a way to verify the authenticity of the matter, so that night she led me to Changde Palace, as soon as she mentioned the child in your belly, I became angry, so I grounded her, even I am a chess piece in your chess game, right?" Zhao Yu's words were not bad at all, when he told Zhou Caiwei about the child, it was only one of the purposes to win her over.

According to Zhao Yu's proud character, if she knew that Zhou Caiwei knew about the child, she would definitely not let her tell the matter, nor would she be allowed to contact Zhou Jinhuan again, at least some days would not let the two interact.

In fact, Zhao Yu did exactly that, and he became part of Zhou Jinhuan's plan.

He was right, she pursed her lips and didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Then you dealt with Concubine Li, I have heard rumors that you were possessed by the ghost of the former concubine at night, put your hand in the oil pot, and shed blood and tears. He slowly walked behind her, put a hand on her shoulder, and said softly: "However, I have also heard that there is often a sour smell from the palace of Changle Palace, especially the smell of the kitchen, and the imperial study lost a few pigskins a few days ago, so naturally no one cares about the pigskins......

Before Zhao Yu's words were finished, Zhou Jinhuan couldn't bear it anymore, and just as she was about to get up, she was pressed down by Zhao Yu, leaned behind her ear and continued: "If I guessed correctly, the sour smell of the kitchen is those pigskins...... as well as vinegar. ”

"You heard that the concubine of the previous dynasty was jealous, so she used this method to achieve the purpose of pretending to be a ghost, didn't you?" Zhao Yu hadn't said her specific method yet, but in one sentence, it was to the point.

So she was nervous, and she felt her body tremble, and he hugged her from behind, and continued, "Do you want me to explain what you do?"

She swallowed and opened her lips to say something, but found that she couldn't say anything.

"Put your hands in the oil pot, your hands will be safe and sound, one is because the oil is mixed with a lot of vinegar, Li Concubine saw that the oil was rolling, in fact, it was vinegar that was tumbling, and the oil was not hot at all; Because even if the oil is not hot, it will hurt your hand, and the next day your hand will be fine. ”

"The emperor is the emperor, and there is no one with this imagination, if there is really vinegar in the oil pot, how can Li Concubine not smell it?" She knew that such a question would not bother him at all, but she still asked, and sure enough, he chuckled: "The whole palace is rumored that Changle Palace has a sour and rotten smell, Li Concubine can't think of it at all, as for why Su Wan used a human skin mask, I'm afraid it's because the pigskin is so easy to color, and the red color of cinnabar is very similar to blood, especially at night, it is impossible to distinguish at all." ”

In fact, he still missed one point, the reason why Su Wan pretended to be himself, in addition to wanting to scare Li Concubine with her white and tender hands, another reason was that Su Wan would do light work, as a ghost, she "flying" up to have a greater impact on Li Concubine.

Zhao Yu shouldn't know that Su Wan knows martial arts, right?

"What are you thinking about?" Sensing her distraction, Zhao Yu's hand holding her tighter, she broke his hand, slowly stood up, turned around, leaned on the edge of the table, raised her eyes and asked him: "You know all my means, so what are you going to do with me?"

"What do you think I should do with you?" he crossed his arms and asked rhetorically, I don't know if it was her delusion, she always felt that the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, and said coldly: "You can do whatever you want, anyway, I'm just trying to protect myself." ”

"Self-preservation, you made such a big move, just to protect yourself?" his expression seemed to be in disbelief at all: "I always thought that you were quite knowledgeable about political affairs, but I didn't expect that you would not fall into the tricks of women in the palace at all." ”

This is sarcastic to her, but why did Zhao Yu say it with a bit of appreciation, Zhou Jinhuan broke away from his embrace as if he had been stabbed by something, with a rebellious smile on his face: "Do you think I am really willing to play these little tricks with them?"

"Otherwise?" Zhou Jinhuan was angered by these words, she walked to the incense burner, knocked over the stove, and said coldly: "That's because of this, because the pears in the furnace are fragrant." ”

The sound of the incense burner falling to the ground was very loud, but it was the emperor and Zhou Jinhuan inside, no one dared to come in, or Xiao Mengzi asked outside the door, Zhao Yu stared at her red face, and ordered Xiao Mencius through the door: "Let Imperial Doctor Lu come over." ”

"What, don't believe me?" Zhou Jinhuan captured the doubts and incomprehension in his eyes, and continued: "I was pushed to the ground as soon as I arrived at this Changle Palace, I don't care who is using it, I only know that I have to protect my child, this is what I mean by self-preservation, I don't know if the emperor understands?"

"Are you sarcastic that I can't protect you?" she said sarcastically, but it was very pleasant to listen to.

"There are too many beauties in the palace who need the emperor's protection, and if someone like me is ruthless, it's good not to shoot at others, and I don't need your protection. She just went straight over, didn't look at Zhao Yu's blackened face, and continued: "And I didn't attack innocent people, such as your Concubine De Niangniang." ”

"Do you feel so accomplished when you make me angry?" If Zhou Jinhuan was so presumptuous in the past, he would have brushed his sleeves away, but now he stayed, because he saw her red eyes, since he ascended the throne, she seemed to have changed as a person, and at this time she made him want to be close.

He didn't just think so, he did.

After walking a few steps, he took her into his arms, completely ignored her struggles, patted her back gently, his movements were a little clumsy, he wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, just when she wanted to push him away, he increased the strength of his hand, and stopped for a long time before saying leisurely: "Is I really wrong, I really shouldn't have put you here......"

These words were not answered by Zhou Jinhuan, because Xiao Mencius's voice completely suppressed his voice: "Emperor Qiqi, Imperial Doctor Lu has arrived." ”

"Let him in. Pulling Zhou Jinhuan to sit down, even if she didn't want to, her little face was full of dissatisfaction.
