The old and new people of the two dynasties are confined in a palace, and they have nothing to do, and if they can't keep it, some people will emerge to hold their own seniority and act as an elder.

Looking back at the backyard of Emperor Yuan, Chu Zikai's biological mother Concubine Shu died early, and Queen Qi also lay in the underground palace for several years.

It just so happened that the selected Concubine Liu was also willing to play this role, just because when she was originally the concubine of Emperor Yuan, she was first suppressed by Concubine Shen everywhere, and her position and family background were suppressed, and she never dared to swallow her anger and dare not become bigger, and then Yu Zhao appeared out of thin air and ascended to a high position, which made her a dispensable three children.

Now it is easy to survive the death of the two gods who are more graceful than his own family background, and Concubine Li was implicated in Wen Jiang's rebellion, and she was half dead and sick. Concubine Liu understood that she was not majestic at this time, she missed the opportunity, and it was unknown when she would be able to call for wind and rain, so she was naturally touted by the concubines, and summoned all the concubines to her palace every day to enjoy some teachings and beatings, so as not to raise her eyebrows.

was a little bolder, Concubine Liu became more and more proud, and from time to time tried to recruit many royal maids to enter the palace to help Chu Zikai enrich the harem, seeing that he was not close to women, he didn't stop, it didn't matter if the people in the harem were favored or not, and it didn't matter if the heirs of Da Chu were thin, the most important people who came in were good if they could hold her as a concubine.

I have been happy for several years, I never thought that Yu Zhao, the nemesis, had come back from thousands of miles away, Concubine Liu heard the news and didn't know the truth, and was about to make a plan to give the heavenly princess from the west to get off the horse, but before she had time to think about it, she couldn't afford to get sick, and she drank the decoction intermittently, but the wind blew and fell, and she didn't dare to step out of the palace gate for half a step for several months.

Hearing the news of Concubine Liu's recurrence of her old illness, the filial palace concubines couldn't sit still, and they all showed extremely concerned expressions, and asked about Liu Wanrou's situation with concern. Zhang Shurong didn't pursue her belated punishment for drinking, immediately put down the wine glass, and asked eagerly: "Is the concubine Niangniang's cold disease committed again, is there a big problem?" ”

Liu Zhaorong looked worried, and replied in a low voice: "Sister Xie Shurong cares, it's okay, now that the primer of this medicine has been found, you can boil a few pairs of decoction and drink it." ”

"Concubine Niangniang is sick, we juniors should all be dedicated," Concubine Ling also turned her head to participate in the discussion, and asked with concern: "Sister Zhaorong might as well tell me, what kind of medicinal materials are so difficult to find, the elder brother of this palace knows many pharmacists, so he can do his best to help my sister find it." ”

"I say it, sisters, don't be afraid," Hearing Concubine Ling's question, Liu Zhaorong said hello in advance, and then mysteriously told the medicine introduction in the prescription: "The rest of the medicinal materials are usually easy to obtain, but it is a little scary to listen to it, but it is just to ask some life scorpions to enter the medicine together, and you can suppress the pain for the symptoms." ”

"Scorpions!" Hearing this, Zhao Guiren couldn't help but exclaim, and covered his mouth incredulously: "Are you still alive?" It's said to be poisonous! ”

Liu Zhaorong hurriedly waved his hand and comforted: "Don't worry, when you only boil medicine, just take a red-hot knife and remove the tail." ”

Poisonous scorpions, snakes, insects and other living creatures, Yu Zhaoyuan has experienced the catastrophe of sending the formation map in the Western Fan Burning Summer Desert, and has seen the power of the thing that kills people, and then he has always been the most afraid, at this time, when he heard that there was this thing in the palace at this time, although he didn't say anything on the surface, he was secretly afraid, and couldn't help but instruct:

"Since it is alive, Liu Zhaorong has to take care of it, if he accidentally runs out and stings someone, it will be troublesome."

"This is natural," Liu Wanrou nodded again and again, and replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, Sister Yi, those things are all in the pharmacy, and the concubine has sent someone to take care of them, and she will definitely not run out for no reason." ”

"Pharmacy?" Hearing about the place where the scorpions were stored, Zhang Shurong suddenly became cautious, frowned and turned her head, looked at Concubine Ling, and said in a worried tone: "I heard that since Concubine Ling's sister has been taking the imperial doctor's prescription to prepare fetal pills by herself, now there are these poisonous insects there, you have to be careful when you go to the pharmacy." ”

"Sister Xie cares" Concubine Ling nodded slightly in thanks, and agreed: "Sister Shurong is relieved, a few months ago, the concubine Niangniang also drank that medicine, and it is not that this palace has never seen those scorpions before, they are all locked in cages, they like darkness and fear light and do not like to move, they will not sting easily." ”

No matter how many measures are taken, it is impossible to prevent accidents in the palace, Yu Zhao listened to their conversation silently, glanced sideways at Concubine Ling's bulging belly, and didn't know if it was because she was afraid of that thing, she always felt uneasy, and instructed her: "Just in case, Concubine Ling should send someone to dispense medicine and other trivial matters in the future." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Ling hurriedly turned her gaze over and replied with a smile: "Sister Concubine Yi is too worried, when I dispense medicine, I will stay away from the scorpion cage, and I don't have to be so planted." ”

Anyway, it was persuaded, Yu Zhao was rejected, and he didn't want to talk more, he didn't want the two of them to ask and answer casually, others listened to it close to their ears, but they put it in their hearts, Zhang Shurong covered her mouth with a fan, and looked back and forth at Yu Zhao and Concubine Ling, Yin Yin smiled, and said in a non-angry tone:

"It can be seen that those hooves who love to chew the root of their tongues do not have a word of truth in their mouths, according to the concubines, Sister Yi still cares about Concubine Ling's children very much, these days the rumors that have come out of nowhere, red mouths and white teeth want to provoke the relationship between our sisters, it is really hateful."

"But no," Concubine Ling replied with a smile on her face, and said to Yu Zhao: "Concubine Yi's sister is a lucky star, and now she has given gifts and care to the palace, and even gave the child in the womb of the palace, she must have received many blessings from her, and my sister has thanked her sister here first." ”

Yu Zhao is not very good at polite official words, and in the face of their more clever mouths, Yu Zhao is ashamed of himself, and when he opens his mouth, he will only reply lightly: "No need to be polite." ”

"Since Concubine Yi's sister is a lucky star ......" Liu Zhaorong took the opportunity to interject, made a gesture of thought, and said tentatively to Concubine Ling:

"I heard that Concubine Ling's sister drank thousands of decoctions to deal with insomnia, but she still hasn't improved, if she can't rest her mind every night, I'm afraid it's not good for the fetus in the womb."

Concubine Ling smiled and shook her head and said distressedly: "Xu has been used to it for many years, and after having a body, it becomes more and more difficult to sleep, and all kinds of methods have been tried, but they are all useless." ”

Liu Wanrou's eyes lit up, and she looked at Yu Zhao and proposed: "When the concubine and aunt were pregnant with the four kings, they often couldn't sleep, so it would be good to ask for a hundred blessing pillows, the lucky star who gave the pillow at that time was the first queen mother, and now Concubine Yi's sister is also a lucky star, if she embroiders a hundred blessing pillow for you, I'm afraid it will be better." ”
