However, in order to coax Wu Jieyu, Li Heng also patiently asked: "How is it a bullying method?" ”

Wu Jieyu was still pouting and being coquettish, "It's that the governor of Fenzhou is not interested, so I have to say that the concubine's grandfather is greedy for some money, the concubine's grandfather has always been very honest, how can he do anything corrupt and pervert the law?" ”

Since it was done by Zhizhou, it is natural to have real evidence to arrest people, and the Fenzhou Zhizhou, he also has some impressions, he is a Jinshi in the Yuanhe period, and the Tanhua hand-picked when the first emperor's palace test was said to be upright, and he is a hard bone who is not afraid of the powerful. The next few evaluations were all grade A, and then he was promoted all the way to Zhizhou.

As a Zhizhou, it is not easy to take down the relatives of Sanpin Jieyu at will, I am afraid that it involves a wide range of things, and it is not easy to deal with it. Li Heng stroked her back with a smile, "Concubine Ai, don't worry, when Ming'er is in the early dynasty, I will know if I go to ask the officials." If not, I will naturally return your grandfather's innocence. But if there is really anything dirty, you have to act impartially. ”

Wu Jieyu was not satisfied with this answer, as His Majesty's favorite concubine, His Majesty was so stingy that he refused to say "I will not let your family be wronged"? When she thought about it, she burst into tears for a while: "When the concubine was young, among all the children, Grandpa was the most spoiled concubine, and if there was anything delicious and fun, the concubine could be ......alone first."

Li Heng frowned, for him, he will never forget how he got this throne for the rest of his life, this is the unspeakable bitterness in his heart, this guilt makes him reluctant to mention it, and he does not want to hear anyone talk about his father. Moreover, this kind of crying is really a bit boring after a long time.

He let go of the hand holding Wu Jieyu, stood up, and paced a few steps in the room, with a little irritability, "The affairs of the court, someone will deal with it, it is enough for you to accompany me in this harem, what do you want to do so much?" ”

Wu Jieyu didn't follow, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and two strings of tears fell, "But the concubine is worried at this time, how can she have the heart to serve Your Majesty well?" ”

He spoiled her because she was simple and easy to satisfy. But once her appetite began to grow, she began to slowly become ambitious, trying to intervene more, and he slowly couldn't afford to give, so he didn't want to give it anymore.

When Li Heng heard her words, a trace of nameless anger suddenly rose in his heart, "If you can't serve, then I'll go somewhere else first, find someone who can serve to serve, and when you figure it out, then come to bed!" ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't look back at Wu Jieyu again, and walked away. Wu Jieyu was angry, rushed to the door, and saw him as if he was going to Wangyun Tower.

In my impression, His Majesty has always responded to her needs, but what is wrong with her today, Your Majesty is also angry with her?

Wu Jieyu was extremely depressed, so she took Lily of the Valley and the other two little palace maids to the flower garden by the Taiye Pond for a walk.

It was a little late, and Lily of the Valley felt that something was wrong, so she persuaded: "Jieyu should go out tomorrow, it's so late......"

Wu Jieyu was wronged by Li Heng, and she had nowhere to vent, so she choked back angrily: "What if it's late, this palace is happy, is there anyone in this palace who dares to do anything to this palace?" ”

Lily of the valley didn't dare to speak.

Her master is inevitably too confident. This Daming Palace, in the end, is not surnamed Wu, the one in Penglai Hall has not made a move, maybe one day it will be fatal. Even if you don't use a knife or a gun, there are 10,000 ways to kill a concubine in this palace without knowing it.

Lily of the valley felt scared in her heart, so she found an excuse not to go out, "Jieyu Niangniang, the slave maid is just ...... Fang was a little uncomfortable, maybe a little diarrhea......"

"That's it, I know that you want to be lazy, just go in." Wu Jieyu glanced at her, pointed to the shawl and motioned for the little palace maid to put it on for her, and took the other two little palace maids to the edge of the Taiye Pool.

It is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the night of Taiye Pond is cool and breezy, with some refreshing fragrance of plants and trees. There are paths by the lake, paved with bluestone slabs, and it is refreshing to walk up.

The shawl on Wu Jieyu's shoulders was blown by the night wind, and she took a deep breath of the air mixed with the fragrance of flowers and the moisture on the surface of the lake, and her mood was finally temporarily relaxed.

The night was not too thick, and the moonlight was quietly pouring down, and I could see it clearly. She thought that the fireworks of the lantern were too heavy and spoiled the fragrance of the flowers, so she didn't turn on the lantern. After walking a short distance, I accidentally looked ahead, and saw that something seemed to be moving four or five steps ahead. She stopped, looked at it, and gasped in fright: Snake!

Three or four blue-green snakes, with dark markings on their bodies, but a piece of red on their necks, Wu Jieyu recognized this as a tabby swimming snake, a common venomous snake.

She was most afraid of snakes, when she was a child, there was an aunt in the family who was bitten by a poisonous snake in the back garden, and called Lang Zhong to heal, but she lay on the couch for seven or eight days, and still died. This incident had left a shadow over her childhood, so much so that she was more afraid of that kind of cold-blooded reptile than ordinary people.

She took a step back in horror, but faintly heard many hissing sounds in the bushes, like countless tiny mouths pumping gasps, as if they had surrounded her.

Snake! No, no, no, how can there be so many tabby snakes in Daming Palace?

She screamed in fright, but fortunately she didn't go far, and quickly escaped from the Taiye Pool along the bluestone slab when she came, and ran along the road until she entered the Chengxiang Palace, and the "hiss" sound behind her head finally seemed to fade away.

"Lily of the valley, lily of the valley! Ming'er went to Shang Pharmacy to get some realgar - no, you go now, get more! ”

Wu Jieyu sat paralyzed in the hall, her face was pale with fright, as if she had collapsed, and her whole body was trembling incessantly. Snakes, the kind of creatures that live in damp places and can't see the light, how can they appear in Daming Palace!

Since there are already snakes in the Daming Palace, will they climb to the Chengxiang Palace? The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and summoned all the palace maids and eunuchs of the Chengxiang Hall to gather in the main hall, and asked people to clean and inspect every corner of the Chengxiang Hall overnight.

After a while, a little eunuch ran in: "Niangniang, Niangniang, the slave found this in the flower pot in the apse!" ”

He put the fruits of his labor in a small silk bag and presented it, Wu Jieyu looked over and looked at it, and she was so frightened: "Take it out quickly, throw it away!" No, the brazier burned, burned! ”

It was a litter of seven or eight small eggs, not much bigger than the belly of the thumb, and not oval like eggs, but long one by one, looking like snake eggs.

"Flower pots, flower pots! Come on, throw all the flower pots out, this palace never wants to see those flower pots again! ”

"This ......" the little eunuch was anxious, "Jieyu Niangniang, these flower pots can't be thrown away, aren't they all rewarded by the Queen Mother a few days ago?" ”

Wu Jieyu suddenly remembered that she saw Wei Zhaoyi's house in Wangyun Tower, and thought that this flower was beautiful, so she asked for it from the Shang Sleeping Bureau. But there is no such thing in the Shang Dormitory, or the Queen Mother rewarded a few pots from Penglai Palace, and when she sent them, she said that these flowers were personally served by Guo Yuma and Princess Hanyang, and they were very valuable, so don't raise them to death.

Listening to the tone of Aunt Yuzhu, who passed the word, she knew that the Queen Mother was not willing to give it, but she still gave it to her. She had been proud of this matter for several days, and specially invited several other concubines to the Chengxiang Hall to enjoy the flowers, as if everyone was envious of something.

Even though she has been a little arrogant recently, she still can't do this kind of thing that allows people to get real handles. Wu Jieyu regained a little reason at this time, and ordered: "Then move outside first, and send it back to Penglai Hall early in the morning, it turns out that this grace, this palace can't afford it, hum!" ”

Chengxiang Hall really searched for snake eggs, Wu Jieyu was so frightened that she didn't dare to sleep, and hurriedly sent someone to Wangyun Tower to call Your Majesty.

Pingsu Wu Jieyu is a very smart person, when other concubines are sleeping, she will say that she has a headache and a stomach discomfort, so she has to ask His Majesty to go to Chengxiang Palace. When she arrived at the Chengxiang Palace, she suddenly didn't feel anywhere, and tried her best to keep Her Majesty for the night, she liked to use such means because all the concubines knew it.

That Wei Zhaoyi didn't have many opportunities to sleep, her position was higher than Wu Jieyu, and her family background was good, so she didn't take Wu Jieyu in her eyes at all, and when she saw her palace maid coming again today, she naturally wouldn't give this face, but only said that Her Majesty was very tired today and had fallen asleep.

When the little palace maid came back to pay tribute to Wu Jieyu, Wu Jieyu exploded and said angrily: "Didn't you tell her that there are snakes in Chengxiang Palace, there are snakes, it seems that they are still poisonous snakes, this palace is most afraid of snakes, and Your Majesty will not come to see this palace?" ”

The little palace maid replied aggrievedly: "I said it, but Wei Zhaoyi said that if there is a snake, you can't let Your Majesty come, and it's best not to let Your Majesty go to Chengxiang Hall for a while." Also said...... He also said that His Majesty is not a snake catcher, as a concubine, how can he ignore His Majesty's safety......"

Your Majesty was angry and went out from her, she originally wanted to use this matter to have another coquettish relationship with Your Majesty, and she was reconciled as before. is a good Wei Zhaoyi, not only domineering His Majesty to say differently, but also deducting such a big hat, saying that she disregarded His Majesty's safety!

Wu Jieyu was very annoyed, but fortunately, at this time, the lily of the valley who went to the Shang Pharmacy to ask for realgar came back, holding a large bag in her hand, and when she opened it, she saw that it was indeed an orange-red high-grade realgar that had been ground into a uniform powder.

The Liushang Bureau's access to things was as happy as before, which made Wu Jieyu's heart feel a little more comfortable.

"Sprinkle these realgars around the Chengxiang Palace, and sprinkle them at the door of the palace's dormitory, and leave a bag for the palace to take with you!"

Lily of the valley handed over a small purse: "The medicine boy from the Shang Pharmacy said that the stinging insects are dispatched, and they have already prepared a drug-avoiding purse for all the mothers." ”

Wu Jieyu took the purse, the smell was not very good, and there was a special smell. She frowned for a long time, but she was still afraid of snakes and insects, so she tied her purse around her waist.
