Yanxi Palace.

"Hahahaha, you didn't see her current down-and-out appearance, which made her so proud before, and now she is grounded in this cold palace."

While drinking tea, Chang Guifei imagined that she had just gone to the cold palace to see Zhu Guifei's down-and-out appearance, and she was very happy in her heart.

"That's right, as long as you dare to go against the concubine, you will definitely not end well, and she deserves it."

Xiao Wu said while fanning Concubine Chang.

"It's just Fluttershy, and she must be mad at me, because we cheated on her."

Chang Guifei thought about it again, and felt that she couldn't stand Ruan Xiaodie very much, because Ruan Xiaodie had helped her again and again before, but she helped Zhu Guifei stab Ruan Xiaodie in the back, and she also felt very guilty.

"It's easy to say, even if it's this Ruan Xiaodie, no matter how bad we treat him, she's just a cook, and you're a high-ranking concubine, can she still dare to mess with the concubine?"

Xiao Wu said to Concubine Chang with a smile.

"That's right, that's what you said, after a while, when her anger is gone, I'll go and apologize to him, give her a soft face, and then reward her with a little something, and this matter will pass, it's really too happy."

Chang Guifei felt that what Xiao Wu said was very reasonable, Ruan Xiaodie was just a cook, and she shouldn't be angry with herself.

The Queen Mother's Palace.

"Hey, it's always not peaceful in this palace these days, and some inexplicable things always happen, and the mourning family is a little tired."

The queen mother not only grasps the affairs of the court, but also manages the affairs of the harem, she is not young, she is indeed a little tired, she rubbed her head and said.

"Queen Mother, I let you pay attention to taking a rest, you don't think it's good now, the most important thing is to take care of your body, you must take care of your body, this is the most important thing Hong'er is most worried about."

Hong'er looked at the Queen Mother so tired, she stepped forward, helped the Queen Mother press her temples, and said to the Queen Mother with great concern.

"Hey, you still feel the most sorry for me, but these things don't matter to the mourning family, the mourning family can't let go and let other people take care of it, so the mourning family is not at ease."

The queen mother has been in charge of the government for many years, and the emperor is just a puppet, and she is even more worried about giving up her carefully earned rights to others.

"Anyway, I can't control other things, Queen Mother, your safety must be protected."

Hong'er said to the Queen Mother again.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, it's not good."

At this time, he only heard a eunuch running over in a panic, and he hurriedly shouted, and the eunuch didn't care about other etiquette.

"What's the matter? is so flustered, there is nothing like words. ”

When the queen mother saw such a eunuch who didn't understand the rules, she was very disgusted, and asked the eunuch with a frown.

"Queen Mother, it's not good, we have an insect plague in Kyoto, the insects crawl all over the streets, even on the houses, all the people are afraid, now all the people dare not go out, everywhere is the worm."

The eunuch said to the Queen Mother in a panic.

"What? It's unheard of for something like this to happen. ”

The Queen Mother was very surprised, she had never encountered such a heavy load, and she didn't know what to do, so she panicked.

"Is there anyone dealing with these bugs now?"

The Queen Mother asked the eunuch again.

"Queen Mother, there are too many insects, there are already a lot of people who have gone to kill insects, but there are too many insects, they really can't kill them, and those people are also very afraid of insects, they don't dare to go forward, and the people are hiding at home."

The eunuch described the scene outside to the Queen Mother, and the city outside was full of those insects.

"What does that bug look like? Is it that scary? ”

The Queen Mother looked incredulous, what kind of insect was it, even people were afraid, she asked curiously.

"It's got two big pincers, and it's so big, it can bite people, and it will bleed when it bites, and I don't know if it's poisonous, and if it's poisonous, then we'll suffer."

The eunuch was very flustered, he had seen those insects with his own eyes, he was very afraid, and it was very terrifying to look at it from a distance, he didn't dare to step forward, and hurriedly described the appearance of the insects to the queen mother.

"What? There is such a thing happening, it is really a disaster for my dynasty, hurry up and send someone to offer a reward of five hundred taels of gold, gather people, and see who can deal with such a plague. ”

The Queen Mother didn't expect this insect plague to be so terrifying, and she hurriedly ordered to find someone to deal with the insect plague.

Soon, the Queen Mother's edict was posted all over the street, and they all shouted on the street, as long as whoever cured the plague and offered a reward of five hundred taels of gold, the people also heard it, but none of them dared to come out, because looking at the insects on the street, they were afraid that they would die in this insect plague.

"Five hundred taels of gold, so much, but we don't dare to go, so many insects, if we go out, they will definitely be bitten to death by insects, I don't dare to go out."

"Yes, yes, this worm just gave me 10,000 taels of gold, and I didn't dare to go."

The people were very afraid, although the queen mother rewarded a lot of silver, but they loved their lives even more.

The soldiers were wearing body armor and armor, and they did not dare to provoke the locust, so they hurriedly left.

Basilica.

It's time to go to court once a day, but today there is no one in the hall, only the emperor is sitting on a chair, and the queen mother is sitting on the side, the queen mother saw the scene in front of her, very surprised.

"What about this man, why didn't anyone come?"

The Queen Mother thought this was simply too ridiculous, and no one came to the court, she asked angrily.

"Queen Mother, don't you know? In the past two days, there has been an insect plague, so no one dares to go out, they are all afraid of being bitten to death by insects, and the insect plague has been unimaginably large. ”

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, he hurriedly walked over and said to the Queen Mother cautiously.

"What? It's really ridiculous that it's come to this point, didn't I give an order yesterday and offer a reward of five hundred taels of gold, and now I haven't found anyone yet? Is there no one in our dynasty who can cure this plague? ”

The Queen Mother felt that the insect plague should be easy to manage, and she also rewarded so much gold, someone would definitely take action to deal with the insect plague, and she believed that the insect plague would disappear soon.
