Yuehua couldn't stay calm anymore, and shrunk nervously, Mo Guhan quietly wrapped his long arms and hugged her into his arms.

She couldn't help but nervously clench the hem of his chest, but she couldn't help but poke her head out and look intently.

The first big mouse to come out to look at the wind dragged a child's tiger head shoes out of nowhere, the colorful silk threads were embroidered into the shape of a tiger's head, and the shoe socket seemed to be covered with cotton.

The mice slapped the pocket instrument on their waists with their paws, and in a chaotic sound, another mouse wearing a red dress and a red flower came out, but it was a snow-white mouse, crawling into the tiger's head shoes with a twist and pinching, sitting upright in a big way, and constantly combing the little head with its front paws, like a girl scratching her head.

Several rats lined up neatly, dragging the tripstrings on the tiger's head shoes with their teeth and pulling them out. The rat in the big red dress sat in the tiger's head shoes and sniffed around, which looked a little funny.

The rats in charge of the music walked in the front, really walking, with their forelimbs raised, only their hind limbs on the ground, swaggering, and triumphantly beating drums and gongs. Behind is the "sedan chair man" who is responsible for dragging the tiger's head shoes, and then behind, there are even mice crawling out of the round hole, dragging a small and exquisite "dowry" behind him, orderly, and alive is a beautiful wedding team.

I have long heard Mama Wei talk about it, saying that everything has a spirit, and animals can cultivate to a certain degree of heat, especially weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, foxes, and mice, which are close to popularity, and there are many spirits. The one who likes to imitate people the most is the yellow skin, who always likes to steal the colorful clothes of the big girl and the little daughter-in-law. Why are these rats wearing red and green?

Yuehua didn't believe in these strange forces and myths, but today's warm pavilion was a little dim when the lights were turned off, and after witnessing this scene with her own eyes, Yuehua's hands couldn't help but tremble a little. Seeing the rats blow out of the door of the warm pavilion, and the courtyard outside was still silent, she felt that something was wrong.

Even if it was the rules of those palace people, Mo Guhan didn't dare to make a sound when he came, they all tiptoed, such a big mess, a group of rats swaggered out, how could no one be surprised?

She looked at the rat hole, and the wall where it was only a partition from the outhouse, and it was clear that a hole had been cut in the wall, and the rats had crawled in through the outhouse.

Only then did she suddenly understand that she had been fooled by Mo Guhan, and this was clearly a "rat show" deliberately arranged by someone!

The mouse is a very spiritual little beast, for example, the mouse steals eggs, it knows how to divide labor and cooperate, one lies on the ground with all fours facing the sky, holding the egg, and the other drags the tail, directly steals the egg into his nest, rolls down, breaks it to eat, and the heart is like a four or five-year-old naughty child.

Therefore, there are rat training artists in the folk, who can train rats, make them obediently obey the command, and perform various performances in the streets and alleys, including Li Sanniang falling into the well, Li Quanjin melon, Fotai stealing lamp oil, etc., but I have never seen it, so today I fell into the trap of Mo Guhan so easily.

As soon as she lifted the quilt, she wanted to get out of bed, but was dragged by Mo Guhan, and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?" ”

Chu Yuehua saw that he was still pretending, looking mysterious, a little funny, and he didn't break it: "Naturally, I chased him out to see, where was such a cute guinea pig carried to?" But Mo really married the big cat. ”

Mo Guhan saw that she was still cowering in her arms a moment ago, like a little mouse who had only seen a flower cat, how could she be so bold in a blink of an eye?

He smiled with great malice: "I guess, the queen is curious, and she can't wait to go to the cave room, right?" ”

"Not really!" Before Yuehua's words of explanation could be spoken, she was pulled down by Mo Guhan.

"They marry girls, we are in the cave room, the spring night is a moment, the two have nothing to do with each other, what are you going to do to join in the fun?"

Yuehua has always felt that Mo Guhan is a cold gentleman, he has never been smiling, and he is not close to women, why, in just a few days, everything has changed?

She didn't have time to think about it, and she didn't come up with an answer, so she was peeled into a guinea pig by Mo Guhan, a mighty big cat, and then eaten and wiped clean.

In the Jiaofang Palace, Concubine Ling was playing with the Yaoqin on the case for a while, a little absent-minded.

Gong Ren Shui Yao came back listlessly from the outside and stood at the door, a little hesitant, not daring to come in.

Concubine Ling turned her head to see her, her hopeful eyes gradually darkened, and she lowered her shoulders dejectedly: "Didn't you come?" ”

Shui Yao nodded, slurring.

"Going to the queen again?"

Shui Yao could only nod.

"Come in, can this palace eat you?" Concubine Ling suddenly became annoyed and raised her eyes.

Shui Yao cautiously came in, stood five feet away from her, and stopped talking.

"If you have something to say, say it!"

Shui Yao smiled very reluctantly: "I heard that in order to please the queen's mother today, the emperor not only ordered the imperial dining room to steam rat buns, but also specially found an artist from outside the palace to train rats. ”

"Rat-training entertainers? Do what? Vaudeville? Concubine Ling asked suspiciously.

Shui Yao shook his head: "It was said that preparations began a few days in advance, and a play "The Mouse Marries a Girl" was prepared for the queen. ”

"Rat marrying a girl?" Concubine Ling suddenly raised her voice: "The emperor actually spent such a mind to please Chu Yuehua? ”

Shui Yao glanced at Concubine Ling timidly, and nodded: "It's a small amount of effort, mainly because it's just the beginning of spring now, and I heard that there is plague in some places, and the emperor is not afraid of that thing being buried." ”

"The plague?" Concubine Ling chewed these words slowly, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she happily ordered: "Hurry up and bring the concubine to the palace." ”

Shui Yao received the order but stood still.

"Go!" Concubine Ling urged impatiently.

"There's one more thing I haven't had time to report to my mother."

"Say! I can't even say a word. ”

"When it was dark today, Yajieyu went to the queen's Qingqiu Palace, and talked to the queen in the courtyard for a while."

Concubine Ling suddenly turned around and raised her eyebrows angrily: "She went to find the queen?" What was said? ”

Shui Yao was startled, and shook his head busily: "Qi Yu Niangniang, our people are afraid of being seen by Yajieyu, so they are far away, and they only see the two of them talking to each other, and I don't know what they said." When Yajieyu was leaving, the queen also ordered Xiangshen to send her out of Qingqiu Palace. ”

Concubine Ling's face suddenly flashed with a fierce look: "It seems that it was the day before yesterday that I remembered to go to the palace, and when I saw that she Chu Yuehua was favored, I wanted to climb another high branch!" ”

Shui Yao didn't dare to answer, only lowered his head.

"Hmph, seeing that the palace has lost momentum for a while, I am busy and want to find another backer, not even a dog!"

Concubine Ling scolded twice, but she was relieved, and glared at Shui Yao in annoyance for a long time, before she ordered: "You have attached your ears, and this palace has something for you to do." ”

Shui Yao approached as she said, Concubine Ling leaned over, explained in a low voice, and there was a touch of pride on her lips.

Shui Yao hesitated, a little embarrassed: "Niangniang, this matter is not trivial, you have to think twice." ”

Concubine Ling glared: "If you want to do it, you will do it obediently, why is there so much nonsense?" Something happened, and naturally there was this palace on top. ”

Shui Yao was silent for a long time, and he didn't dare to say more, so he resigned himself to the order.

In the Qingqiu Palace, two days later, the palace people began to feel unwell one after another, vomiting and sore throat, flushed face, accompanied by low-grade fever.

Mama Wei is old, and she is not immune to the first batch of uncomfortable symptoms.

She thought she was greedy and ate bad stomachs, so she hid Yuehua and didn't let her know. It wasn't until the afternoon that one after another, the palace eunuchs also began to have a low-grade fever in a daze, coughing constantly, and Mama Qin was well-informed and realized that it might be a contagious illness.

She immediately reported it to Yuehua to know. Originally, the people in this palace were lowly and had headaches and brain fever that would not alarm the people in the hospital, and they were all left to fend for themselves. But Yuehua was distressed by the people, and secondly, she was worried that if it was really a contagious disease, it would spread if it was hidden, so she immediately ordered Xiangshen to find a doctor from the Tai Hospital to come and see her.

The queen has a life, and the hospital does not dare to delay, and the appointed doctor also has a status in the hospital, surnamed Lu, and is hereditary for three generations. He came in and kowtowed respectfully to Yuehua, said goodbye, and then went to the next room, looked at it and asked, and when he came out, his face was not very good.

Mama Qin stepped forward first, stuffed a piece of silver, and then asked out loud, "What's going on?" ”

Imperial Physician Lu glanced at the left and right shrewdly, and said loudly: "It's just that I ate something bad, and I had a bit of a seizure, so it's not a big deal." ”

Then the two of them went quietly to no one, and Imperial Doctor Lu wiped the sweat on his face and whispered to Mama Qin: "This disease is menacing, and the onset is so rapid, I'm afraid it's not good." You should always remind the queen to pay attention and try to isolate yourself from the sick people. ”

Seeing his solemn face, Mama Qin couldn't help but be surprised: "Imperial Doctor Lu will tell the truth, if it is really powerful, paper will not be able to keep the fire." ”

Doctor Lu said: "My medical skills are shallow, and I dare not speak falsely, so I will immediately go back to the Tai Hospital to report to the doctor and send a few more people to diagnose." ”

If it is a common headache and brain fever, how can it alarm the court's verdict?

Mama Qin nervously tugged at his sleeve and asked, "Mother-in-law, I have seen this symptom before, when the first emperor was in power, there was such an epidemic in the palace, and there were countless deaths, yes or no?" ”

Imperial Physician Lu was aggressively questioned by her, and his face was embarrassed: "I just doubt, but I don't dare to decide." ”

In one sentence, it verified Mama Qin's guess. Mama Qin was shocked, her color changed suddenly, and her hands couldn't help but tremble.

"How's that for good?"

Imperial Physician Lu waved his hand again and again, and if he encountered a tiger, the color of the conversation changed: "Please forgive me for my shallow medical skills and inability to do so, so I will leave." ”

After saying that, taking advantage of Mama Qin's panic, she broke free and flew away, like avoiding snakes and scorpions.
