After Yuehua returned to the bamboo forest, she didn't take what happened today to heart, but Chu Mubai heard the ins and outs from Xiangshen, and was quite uneasy, and told Yuehua to be careful.

That Chang Lingyan has always been revenge, Yuehua provoked her today, making her and Lian turn against each other, she will definitely hold a grudge. What's more, Yuehua was uneven, and he offended Shen Xincai of the Shen Mansion one after another, he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, he was notorious in Beijing, and he was also a master who was extremely bad.

Moreover, Yuehua has now left the palace and is isolated, Chang Lingyan is the most favored concubine in front of Mo Guhan, this time is different from the past, who knows if she will take revenge for personal gain?

Yuehua didn't care, and with a smile, she stuffed the boiled red-skinned eggs in her hand to Chu Mubai, interrupting him: "You got up in a hurry this morning, and you haven't had time to eat eggs yet, so make up for it now." ”

Chu Mubai shook his head helplessly, took the egg, and put the wine jar in his hand on the table: "I brought back realgar wine from the street today, it is a little strong, if you don't like to drink it, you must also remember to sprinkle a little bit on each corner of the house." There are more poisonous snakes, insects and ants in the forest. I'll smoke some mugwort for you in the evening, and I'll see that mosquitoes are starting to get there. ”

Yuehua looked up and smiled, her face was full of heartlessness: "You all think so thoroughly, do you still need me to worry about it?" ”

Chu Mubai tugged at the corners of his lips dotingly: "Then you rest first, I'll take a few people to give Shen Xincai a little warning, lest he turn back and trouble you." ”

Yuehua was not at ease: "That person is a scoundrel, you still don't want to clash with him head-on." ”

Chu Mubai patted her shoulder comfortingly: "You don't have to worry about it, I have my own measure." It's just a swinger brother, I don't need me to make a move, I have my own way to make him not get out of bed for a month. ”

Yuehua became more and more worried, and grabbed Chu Mubai's sleeve and didn't let go: "No, you have been angry with the emperor for me, if there is another conflict with the Shen family, Concubine Ling will be even worse, won't the emperor make it even more difficult for you?" ”

Chu Mubai's lips twitched, wanting to explain something to Yuehua, but he just swallowed it after all. lowered his head and whispered: "I patrol the city every day, and I have heard a lot of Shen Xincai's bad deeds." It is said that he has provoked a concubine of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion these days, and the two often secretly spend time in a mansion.

I looked for someone to hand over this news to Wei Yuanhou to know. It's strange to be so hot at him and not beat him. If you don't give him a little color, is it possible to let him keep causing trouble in the capital and causing trouble for me? ”

Yuehua pursed her lips and smiled: "It's just that I pity that little concubine, I'm afraid that I will shed my skin if I don't die." ”

Chu Mubai smiled: "You still have such a heart, you haven't changed at all." The concubine herself is not a good master, and she is rampant and domineering in the house, so I am afraid that this move is very happy. ”

Yuehua nodded, said no more, and suddenly called Chu Mubai, who turned around and wanted to leave: "I saw King Chen on the street today." ”

Chu Mubai turned around: "Shicai Xiangshen mentioned it to me, she said that you and King Chen talked for a while." ”

Yuehua nodded and hesitated, "I want to ask my brother something." ”

"What's the matter? Why are you still spitting? ”

"That is, does my brother know why the first emperor didn't pass the throne to King Chen but the current emperor?"

Chu Mubai was stunned: "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" ”

Yuehua shook her head embarrassedly: "I just think that King Chen is different from other princes, it is said that he has a high reputation above the court and among the people, why did the first emperor only choose the emperor?" ”

Chu Mubai sighed slightly: "I was not very old at that time, so I didn't care about this. I only know that the first emperor did plan to pass the throne to King Chen, and no one expected that the current emperor would inherit the throne in the end.

There were different opinions about this matter, and many courtiers had doubts, and privately discussed that the holy decree was false, or that the former emperor was forced by the power of the empress dowager. After all, the emperor was young at that time, and he was easier to control than King Chen, and became a puppet of the Chang family.

But my father-in-law once secretly told me that the first emperor had secretly asked him to assist the current emperor before his death. Come to think of it, the holy decree should not be false, the former emperor must have his own ideas in doing this, and King Chen is not as good as the current emperor.

Didn't the facts prove that the first emperor's choice was right? The emperor works hard, works diligently and loves the people, and is a rare good emperor. ”

Chu Mubai's words dispelled all the doubts in Yuehua's heart. In this way, King Chen must have listened to other people's rumors, and had a misunderstanding of Mo Guhan, thinking that Mo Guhan had taken away his country. It is no wonder that he will be deposed and suppressed by the Empress Dowager one after another, and take all the positions in the court, his existence was originally a threat to Mo Guhan.

Yuehua sent Chu Mubai away, wiped away the sweat stains with a handkerchief, and then opened the front and rear windows, let the cool breeze blow in, and was a little sleepy, lying on the bed, closing his eyes, and sinking into a dream for a while.

This sleep until dark, Xiang Shen and Chu Jiu were busy in the kitchen with dinner, talking and laughing, cooking smoke, quiet and harmonious.

The evening wind faded away the heat of noon and blew into the bamboo house, cool as water. Yuehua woke up occasionally, felt comfortable, turned around and still slept.

The two rabbits were not in peace, bouncing around the house, occasionally making the sound of "chirping" and grinding their teeth.

Yuehua was a little worried when she stared at her, they didn't bite the tables and chairs.

Suddenly, the two rabbits seemed to be frightened, let out a "squeak" scream, bounced up instantly, and rushed directly onto Yuehua's bed. Yuehua seemed to be asleep, and suddenly woke up and muttered dissatisfiedly: "What are you two doing?" What a fuss. ”

The two rabbits were still throbbing, arching towards Yuehua's body, their forelimbs constantly scratching the sheets on the bed.

Yuehua didn't feel sleepy anymore, and when she opened her sleepy eyes, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. The two rabbits are timid, but they are not afraid of people. And after moving here, there is a litter of chickens in the yard, often chickens and dogs jump, the two rabbits are no longer strange, and the ordinary movement is not frightening at all.

They were so frightened, they were obviously frightened! There are predators!

Yuehua was startled, and finally heard an unusual movement.

"Rustle...... Rustle......"

It seems to be the sound of fallen leaves rubbing against the ground, and it is also like a thin basket sifting mung beans, fine and light.

Yuehua's eyes widened and she walked around. The room was already a little dark.

Hearing a "snap", this time the sound was a little obvious, Yuehua followed the sound and saw that something fell from the back window and fell to the ground, still squirming.

It's a snake!

Yuehua was shocked and almost screamed. At the same time, she also saw more and more snakes crawling in through the back window and slowly swimming in the bamboo hut.

Yuehua is afraid of snakes, and always feels that this kind of soft and cold thing, when she thinks about it, she can't help but get goosebumps all over her body.

At this time, the "hiss" sound of the snakes spitting out the letter clearly reached Yuehua's ears, and she felt like she was scratching the iron plate with her fingernails, which made her can't help but shrink up, not daring to move.

Why are there so many long insects in the bamboo forest all of a sudden? What to do?

I don't know if it's an ordinary vegetable snake or a venomous snake? In case you are reckless and bitten by a poisonous snake, you will be in trouble.

She looked at the window like a distress call, Chu Jiu was busy with Xiangshen in the kitchen, far away from herself, if he shouted for help, would he be able to come over in time?

On the desk not far from the bed, there is a jar of realgar wine, which was left by Chu Mubai Shi. Yuehua suddenly got a treasure, and they all said that the snake was afraid of realgar, and I didn't know if it was true.

The panicked screams of the two rabbits attracted the group of snakes, and they saw that there were already snakes slowly crawling in their direction.

Can't delay any longer, Yuehua is unarmed, if the snakes get close to him, he won't have the power to fight back at all.

She looked up and saw a tassel on the bed, and without hesitation, she ripped it off.

Her sudden movement had already alarmed the snakes on the ground, and some of them even stood up half of their bodies and leaped towards her. Yuehua shook the tassel in his hand without hesitation, rolled up the jar of realgar wine, and landed in front of his bed, and smashed it with a "snap".

A pungent smell of rich realgar mixed with liquor permeated the bamboo house, and some snakes retreated, while others simply paused and were not afraid.

The sound of porcelain shattering in Yuehua's house alarmed Chu Jiu, and he was startled, and rushed to the bamboo house like an arrow from a string.

"What's wrong with the mother?"

When Yuehua heard Chu Jiu speak, she was overjoyed and shouted in panic: "A room of snakes! Be careful! ”

Chu Jiu looked in from the window, his eyesight was amazing, and he suddenly knew that something was wrong, and he was afraid of breaking the door, causing the snakes to be frightened and attack Yuehua.

He was in a hurry, took out the fire fold from his arms, used a few percent of his internal force, and threw it straight from the window to the Yuehua bed tent: "Fire attack!" ”

The situation was urgent, Yuehua didn't say a word, shook the fire fold, and threw it to the side of the bed, instantly igniting the remaining wine and tassels.

Snakes have different sense of smell, so realgar wine cannot dispel all snakes, but snakes are afraid of smoke and fire, and when the fire is together, the snakes are frightened and retreat, and they all retreat along the same path.

Chu Jiu broke into the door at this time, and with a knife in his hand, he cleaned up the snakes in the room.

Yuehua had palpitations and escaped from the bamboo house, just like the rest of her life after a catastrophe.

Xiang Shen had already come out of the kitchen, and he was pale with shock, and said "luck".

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, where did so many snakes come from? And it's all poisonous snakes? Chu Jiu looked around and asked suspiciously.

Yuehua had just gone through a thrilling catastrophe, and her face was a little pale. She shook her head: "I don't know, thanks to the two rabbits who were frightened and jumped on the bed, otherwise they would have been in danger today." ”

Chu Jiu searched along the bamboo house, lest any fish slip through the net: "Does that lady know where these snakes come from?" ”

Yuehua pointed to the back window: "Today's weather is hot, so I opened the back window, and those snakes poured in from the back window." ”

"Rear window?"

Chu Jiu couldn't help frowning. When the bamboo house was first built, it was afraid of snakes and insects, so the back window was opened enough to be one person high, less than a foot square, how could a group of snakes swarm in from the back window?

It should be man-made!

Yuehua also reacted at this time, and her face was full of surprise: "Someone wants to put me to death? ”

Chu Jiu's expression suddenly froze, and he listened attentively: "Shhhh ”
