For Meng Yining and Gu Zi'an, the only thing that can do good things in pairs without moving quietly is Zhao Chai and Zhao Erze, the sisters and brothers, who lifted a stone and shot themselves in the foot.

In the evening, Zhao Chai went to the embroidery room to inspect and watched the embroidery girls embroider the blooming orchids on the hem of the red long skirt. Originally, all the people in this palace learned from the southern countries, and used thin threads to embroider delicate and small mountain birds and flowers. But Zhao Chai felt that this was too unatmospheric. The territory of Beiyang is vast, not the small bridge and flowing water, so they instructed the embroidery girls to use a special thick needle to wear gold thread and pearl gems inlaid together, and the whole person wore jewelry.

After turning around three times, he instructed everyone to see his little niece standing at the door of Chaolan Palace waiting.

"Queen's mother." She leaned back slightly, and smiled sweetly at Zhao Chai, "You have been busy these days, and I haven't bothered you." I didn't hear that you finally left Chaolan Palace to walk, so I ran to look for you by myself. ”

Zhao Chai is indeed thinking about his son and younger brother in the past few days, and he doesn't see anyone else. But for some reason, he was in a good mood today, so he walked around the palace and had a better appetite. The two talked and walked and stopped at the rockery pavilion with a few people high in the garden of Chaolan Palace, which is like a jade building.

Originally, the palace was on a high ground, so that the scenery on the sun could be seen in full view. The two watched as the sun set over the sky, and a large area of golden light stained the clouds red. The indigo blue mountains are undulating, like a dragon lying on the land of Beiyang, and Zhao Hai suddenly feels good. She looked at her young niece and stopped her nickname: "Bao'er, you can stay in my palace to eat so late, I have already asked my subordinates to prepare more dishes." We've been seen for a long time. ”

Bao'er smiled lightly: "The first king has passed away, and the concubines are terrified, and they eat and chant Buddha in the palace all day long." Today, when I heard that Niangniang came out, I ran to talk with my eyes blank, and asked Niangniang not to accuse me of not following the rules. ”

The niece's words did not have the hostility of confronting Zhao Yien that night, and it was as soft as the drizzle of spring, which made people feel very soft. In Zhao Chai's eyes, she has always been a well-behaved and lovely little girl, obedient, but a little timid, and often runs around like a rabbit. Whenever he was in trouble, he would rush to his palace.

But I didn't know that the rabbit was in a hurry, and it could bite off a finger of a person.

For this niece, Zhao Hai himself feels that he is holding the handle and knows it well. But she never thought that this niece had already resented her in her heart.

If there was no Zhao Chai, she wouldn't have to be a concubine at a young age, and the king of Beiyang was older than her father at that time. used to be a girl who hoped to be a person with one heart and was inseparable from each other, but now she was walking with difficulty, and she was pushed by her aunt step by step. also be superficially obedient and be a caring good niece.

That's it, it's so tiring!

Bao'er looked at Zhao Hai, her eyes were full of warmth. She smiled: "You are my only relative in this palace, if I don't come to you, where else can I go?" ”

Zhao Chai also stretched his eyebrows, "Yes, the first king died." After that, it's our aunt and nephew. However, you don't have to worry, Chongwu will not treat you badly in the future. ”

There was no code word in Zhao Chai's words.

Although she was worried these days, she was in a good mood, and she wanted to praise her son every word. But when her niece heard it, she thought of something else. She remembered what Zhao Yien had said to her the day before yesterday. Although he didn't say it, everyone in the palace knew that Gu Chongwu was lustful, and he even teased his father's concubine. Now, if she was in the palace for a day, she wouldn't feel any peace.

Zhao Chai said that Gu Chongwu would not treat himself badly, what is "bad treatment"? What is he going to do? Bao'er still had a cute smile on her face, but there was already a murderous intent in her heart.

It's all dying, are you still planning these things that can't be seen?

Bao'er glanced at her aunt beside her, "I specially made some small snacks with bean paste crispy heart today, which was your favorite food." As he spoke, he was brought up.

Originally, when Bao'er was homesick, she opened a small stove in her palace to make this snack. Later, during the New Year's holidays, one will also be given. Zhao Hai was defenseless, and the silver chopsticks did not turn black. As usual, I took a bite, and the cinnabar inside was carefully calculated by Bao'er, and there would be no mistakes at all. Moreover, it is mixed in the filling, and it is not easy to notice.

She also took a piece and swallowed it in small bites.

The two chatted and talked as usual, and they didn't find anything wrong. She watched Zhao Hai's throat swallow, and said that this small snack was really delicious. Zhao Chai was rarely defenseless, but now she was a little carried away. Originally, they were cautiously tempted to come and go, but now they are eating it recklessly.

Her fingertips dipped in the oily pastry puff pastry, scented with bean paste. Zhao Chai suddenly recalled a favorite concubine who had died under her, and she also loved this taste and love.

Sweet and greasy, greasy and sweet.

It melts between the water in the mouth, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth.

She smiled, and a small plate of dim sum was quickly eaten in a few words.

Cinnabar is not very toxic, but it will produce mercury when it is hot, although the two of them eat a small snack after hot porridge and hot soup, but Bao'er, who is familiar with Zhao Hai, knows that she has been tired recently, and she needs to lie in bed early to rest. Before resting, I often drink a bowl of soothing soup.

It was a freshly steaming soup that had just come out of the pot.

It was just right for the appetite of the cinnabar that had just been swallowed.

"It's not too early, so I'll go back to the palace to rest first." Bao'er got up to leave, she watched Zhao Chai sitting alone in the room, and instructed her subordinates to keep a look.

Zhao Chai sent Bao'er away, and the palace maid brought a bowl of soothing soup.

She drank it, then lay down on the soft bed and closed her eyes. After a while, he felt his lungs burn as if or as usual, and Zhao Chai covered his abdomen, where it seemed like thousands of termites were gnawing.

She shouted the name of the palace maid in charge, "Damn it, hurry up and get the imperial doctor!" "Accompanied by a headache and dizziness, suddenly my whole body ached. The palace lamp appeared in her eyes, and it staggered closer like a person who had been killed by herself.

Their fangs and claws, their charred skin sticking to the flesh and blood, these were once Zhao Hai's masterpieces. They seemed to be grabbing her arm and trying to make her pay for her life. The palace lamps were lit by the palace maids, and there were more and more figures in front of them.

"You guys are damned! What are you doing here in Hongu! Zhao Hai spoke sharply into the air. It's not that she hasn't had nightmares over the years, but this palace is full of magic weapons, and those lonely souls and wild ghosts don't dare to approach. However, even so, she still saw the faces of those people crying for a moment.

"Don't come here!" She pointed at the ghost, and the sweat on her forehead dripped down and held it in. Panting heavily, but still feeling breathless.

The palace maid found that her mother's demeanor was wrong, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Niangniang! ”

Zhao Chai couldn't listen to these nonsense, and someone seemed to be muttering in her ear. She didn't know it was a hallucination caused by mercury poisoning, but she felt unusually irritable.

Chaolan Palace was suddenly bustling, and the palace maids and guards went to ask for the imperial doctor.

The orchid young master Hongyue, who was lurking in the palace, naturally did not let go of this scene, and originally wanted to inquire, but he heard that the palace maid went to ask for a doctor in a panic. This Zhao Hai, what's wrong?
