Because of Liu Zhaorong's noisy obstruction, back and forth, and a lot of time was consumed, Yu Zhao felt that it was inconvenient for him to speak, so he only watched and expressed his opinions throughout the whole process, and saw that the matter was resolved, followed Chu Zikai down the steps, and looked at Liu Zhaorong, who was kneeling on the ground and crying without any image, for some reason, the sense of foreboding in her heart did not subside in the slightest, and even worse.

The heart was beating fast without starting a head, and the palms of his hands were also drenched in cold sweat, and the autumn wind never stopped, blowing the whole hand cold, and this coolness spread from his fingertips all over his body, making Yu Zhao shiver.

Chu Zikai immediately noticed Yu Zhao's action, and hurriedly clenched her hand into a fist, wrapped it in the palm of her hand to warm it, but found that her whole hand was ice-piercing, worried that she was weak, and was afraid that she would be blown sick by the wind again, so he stopped, carefully tidied up the cloak on her body for her, and buttoned her hat tightly, and said in a low voice:

"It's hard for you to accompany me to blow the wind, after you go back, you have to drink some ginger soup, warm up your body before sleeping, if you don't let the cold invade your body, you will be even more restless when you get sick."

The warmth given by the thick cloak is not the main help to dispel the cold, the most important thing is that at such a moment, she can still truly appreciate the maintenance that Chu Zikai gave her, and her heart warms the enemy to survive this frozen night wind, Yu Zhao nodded sensibly, retracted his hand into the cloak, and even pulled Chu Zikai's hand in to warm it, and promised: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's warm, don't feel cold." ”

During the conversation, the palace people seemed to have completed the cleaning of the inner hall, and the group came out in an orderly manner, holding some mattresses and quilts and other things in their hands, and suddenly saw that Chu Zikai had not left, put down his things and knelt down:

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor and the slaves said that the bloody atmosphere in the palace will not dissipate, I am afraid that it will disturb the pure heart of the mother, which is really not conducive to the mother's body, so this blood-stained bedding pillow is terrible."

Chu Zikai replied casually: "If she should be replaced, as long as she can cultivate and regulate well, she doesn't have to worry about these things." ”

The palace maid thanked her, nodded yes, and raised her eyelids hesitantly, stared at Yu Zhao with embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "But...... Among them, there is a hundred blessing pillows embroidered by Concubine Yi, which is also accidentally stained with blood, this thing is valuable, and the slaves and maids do not dare to deal with it without authorization, and please show me, how to deal with it? ”

It was originally said that the pillow was given a hundred blessings, originally to settle Concubine Ling's heart and womb, but now such a tragic thing has happened, it can be seen that the so-called Baifu pillow of Shengbai decoction is actually no different from the rest of the embroidered pillows that are not used, Yu Zhao secretly felt sorry in his heart, and took the initiative to say: "It should be disposed of, with Concubine Ling's body as the priority, don't worry about anything, this palace will not have any more thoughts." ”

The palace maid got the order, bowed her head again, got up and picked up her things, and continued to lead everyone out. When she walked to the center of the courtyard, she was startled by a row of scorpion cages in front of her, and she retreated in fear and wanted to dodge, but she bumped into the people behind her, one by one, and a group of people fell to the ground, and the things in their hands were thrown to the ground.

Seeing this, Mama Chang on the side hurriedly reprimanded: "Presumptuous, the emperor lost his manners, and he didn't apologize quickly!" ”

"Your Majesty forgive me, the slave and maid deserve to die, the slave and maid didn't mean it......" The leader fell and the palace maid was afraid of being punished, so she kept asking for mercy in her mouth, and hurriedly crawled over, trying to pick up the bedding and pillow on the ground.

Chu Zikai didn't care about such idle things, so it didn't hurt to say casually, he lowered his eyes and pondered and turned around with Yu Zhao, ready to leave, but before he stepped out of the palace gate, he suddenly heard the palace maids who were picking up the bedding screaming, which frightened everyone.

"Do you want to die?" Being frightened, Feng Yun covered his chest with one hand to relieve his breath, and pointed at the group of palace maids with the other hand and reprimanded: "In the palace, in the middle of the night, there is even more shouting and yelling for no reason, what kind of system is it?" ”

"Ahh

As if they couldn't hear the reprimands from many sides, the palace maids were extremely frightened, threw away the things in their hands, pointed to the scorpion cage, and shrank their hands and feet back. "Scorpion...... The scorpion has escaped! ”

Everyone was shocked, stretched their necks to look, but there were not several black insects moving on the bluestone brick floor, all of them were afraid of a lesson like Concubine Ling who accidentally got into their clothes by this thing, and they all shouted backwards, Feng Yun reacted quickly, opened his hand to protect Chu Zikai Yu Zhao behind him, and shouted loudly: "It's terrible, escort——"

"What are you shouting, I'm so far away from holding something!" It was easy to meet Feng Yun to make a brave move to protect the monarch, but Chu Zikai didn't appreciate it, and waved him with a slap, squinting his eyes to see what was going on with the scorpion cage.

You can clearly see the bustle in the scorpion cage from afar, and the thing inside is instantly alive, and the dragon and tiger flick their tails, and one by one they forcefully push away the insect corpses that had hung in those pores, and desperately drill out.

Sure enough, just as they had guessed, there seemed to be something out there that made them want to get close to each other, tempting them to split their bodies in half rather than escape from the cage to get closer.

Some of them were small, but they were out of the cage in a moment, and they were crawling in one direction. The larger ones can't get out, and they are waving their tails to exert force, and all of them are scrambling to squeeze into those few blowholes, and even at the expense of starting to kill each other, some of them have lost arms and legs when they come out, but they are still limping and crawling in that direction with the current.

After Yu Zhao saw this scene, she felt that her scalp was tingling, and her hair was crispy, so she shrank behind Chu Zikai and only glanced at it, but she didn't dare to look at it again, and her palms were cold and sweaty. Chu Zikai knew that she was extremely afraid of snakes and insects, and hurriedly comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, Zhaozhao, I'm here......"

With his protection, jackals, tigers, leopards, poisonous insects, snakes, and scorpions are indeed not to be feared, and what is even more frightening is the suspicion of dirty water splashed from the sky for no reason.

In front of everyone's eyes, the scorpions who ran out didn't go anywhere, one by one, as if agreed, they only crawled in one direction, and finally landed on the Baifu pillow that Yu Zhaoxiu had given Concubine Ling to calm her nerves, and they climbed to the ground, drilled when they saw the cracks, and tried their best to squeeze in.

Liu Zhaorong wiped away his tears, covered his face with a handkerchief, and exclaimed in disbelief: "There is something wrong with this pillow!" ”

With this voice, everyone invariably cast surprised and questioning glances at Yu Zhao, in the face of these gazes, Yu Zhao was speechless, she didn't know how to react, she was not full of doubts, even if she was innocent, how could she immediately give an explanation to this strange scene?
