This night, Shen Ciwu studied the 'new tricks' and had fun with Li Mobai.

She didn't play well in Go, so she simply changed the chessboard to teach Li Mobai to play backgammon with her.

At the beginning, when Li Mobai didn't quite understand the rules and routines, Shen Ci was worried and won a few games. When he learned later, he began to kill everywhere. Calculating the time, Shen Ciwei has been losing for almost an hour......

"Oops! This one doesn't count! I didn't see it just now...... "Shen Ciwu took one of Li Mobai's black chess, which had been connected into five pieces, and put his white chess pieces on it to block it.

Li Mobai smiled meaninglessly, and landed another piece at the bottom right of the chessboard.

This one fell, and in an instant, there was a situation in which black was four horizontal and four vertical. In other words, no matter how Shen Ciwei pursues and intercepts, in fact, the winner and loser are already clear.

Shen Ciwu still wanted to regret the chess, but when he saw Li Mobai playing with the chessboard idly, he arranged the white chess pieces in a row, and quipped: "You might as well do this directly, save time and effort, and I just admit defeat." ”

Shen Ciwei felt as if he had been humiliated, "Come again!" ”

"Your Majesty! Zhong Cui Palace is out of the water! ”

Sanfu's anxious voice came from outside the door, and Li Mobai immediately frowned, "What's the situation, come in and talk back." ”

Sanfu stumbled in, and from his reply, it could be heard that the fire in Zhongcui Palace was not small, but fortunately, led by Concubine Hui, all the masters who lived in Zhongcui Palace escaped safe and sound, and only a few palace people were burned by the fire but it was fine.

"Why is the fire uncontrollable? What are the people at the Water Dragon Bureau doing? ”

"The live well and the large vat that prepare water were originally responsible for roasting the fire and removing the ice at night, but after the New Year's Festival, the weather warmed up, and the palace people who kept vigil were always slack and negligent. It's cold today, and they are even more lazy in private, so the living water is frozen, and it takes half a day to thaw. Now the Water Dragon Bureau can only carry a basin of water with the palace people of Zhongcui Palace and pour it on the fire to prevent the spread of the fire. ”

Zhong Cui Palace was the first palace where the Queen Mother lived when she was a concubine, and Li Mobai also lived there for many years when she was young, and she always had different feelings for it.

He said goodbye to Shen Ci worriedly, and hurried to Zhong Cui Palace to check the situation.

And Yong'an Palace is not far from Zhong Cui Palace, and Shen Ciwu can already smell a faint smoke at this time.

She looked at the sky-high fire in the south, and instructed Pei'er: "Take the people in the palace to the Zhongcui Palace to have a look, and see if there is anything that needs help." ”

She did this so as not to be talked about.

After all, she has the power to associate the six palaces, so she has such a responsibility.

But she wasn't worried about what the Zhong Cui Palace would be burned to. Because this palace has been preserved intact until modern times, and Shen Ciwu has been in it a few times, she didn't take this matter to heart.

After everyone was gone, she read a book alone for a while, and when tiredness hit, she blew out the candle and prepared to go to bed.

At the moment when the candle flame was extinguished, there was a strange sound outside the main entrance of the dormitory.

She glanced in the direction of the sound, as if catching a glimpse of a jet-black figure flashing by.

Thinking that maybe it was Pei'er and the others who came back, he called, "Pei'er, has the fire in Zhongcui Palace been extinguished?" ”

No one responded to her words, but the night was so quiet that she could faintly hear the sound of gentle footsteps approaching her.

She took the fire fold from the table and polished the flame, and suddenly poked into the darkness where her fingers were missing.

As far as the light could see, a thin woman with only thin plain clothes and a shawl was reflected.

Shen Ci was so frightened that he thought he had met a ghost.

When I looked closely, I found that the woman in front of me with a pale face and tears in the corners of her eyes was none other than Concubine Ning, who had been beaten into the cold palace in the past.

Her tear-soaked eyes glowed beautifully in the light of the fire, making people look at their hairs standing on end.

She and Shen Ciwu looked at each other, and suddenly, they laughed out loud and evilly.

The smile distorted the features of her entire face.

The hideous face was like a monster devouring human bones and blood, so frightened that Shen Ciwu staggered and sat on the bed.

"Concubine Ning? What are you doing? ”

Concubine Ning dragged her slow pace and approached Shen Ciwu, her voice hoarse to the point of being like the cry of an old crow in the palace in autumn: "In the past, I was beaten into the cold palace by the emperor because I caused you a miscarriage, and my family would be executed by the emperor's cruel decree!" She looked at Shen Ci's flat lower abdomen and said fiercely, "You turned out to be a fake pregnancy?" It's you! You are intent on harming me, and you have killed my whole family! ”

Her expression froze, and she suddenly raised her hand behind her back.

Only then did she see that she was holding a three-inch-long dagger tightly in her hand, and after a low roar, she stabbed towards Shen Ci worriedly.

Shen Ciwu subconsciously grabbed the pillow to resist, and the dagger pulled out the pillow core cotton wool between the entrances and exits, flying in the air like willow catkins and snow.

Shen Ciwu took the opportunity to push Concubine Ning away and run out of the hall, but what made her desperate was that the door of the palace had already been locked by Concubine Ning.

She leaned her back against the door of the palace, and her eyes were full of horror as she looked at Concubine Ning, who was pressing towards her step by step, "If you hadn't made the wrong mind that day, how could I hurt you?" The mistake committed by the Beiyun Division was a felony of the Nine Clans, and you and your father were convicted in the harem of the former dynasty one after another, how can you say that I harmed your family? ”

"Sluts still dare to quibble!" Concubine Ning waved her dagger and gestured at Shen Ci.

Her emotions were so agitated that she was clearly out of control.

At this time, it is useless to reason with her.

What we have to do now is to stabilize her emotions first, and then think of ways to save ourselves.

Shen Ciwei took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down first.

"It's all my fault, it's my fault. Now you want to fight and kill me, I have no complaints, but I feel sorry in my heart. ”

"Don't want to?" Concubine Ning sneered, "What do you think you can't go?" ”

"I killed your family, and I deserve to compensate them." Shen Ci said worriedly and knelt in front of Concubine Ning, "I bow to you three times, which is counted as a debt to your family." After that, I will be at your disposal. ”

Concubine Ning snorted and looked at Shen Ci worriedly with cold eyes.

A prostration.

Two prostrations.

Three prostrations......

It was at the third kowtow that Shen Ci was worried about the time, and suddenly grabbed Ning Concubine's feet and neck with both hands and grabbed it forward, Ning Concubine lost her center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of her pain, Shen Ciwu hurriedly got up and ran to the warm seat window, and climbed out of the window.

Ning Concubine chased after her, and when Shen Ciwu was about to escape from the gate of Yong'an Palace, Ning Concubine flew forward and pushed her to the ground.

She rode on Shen Ciwu's body, and roared almost madly: "You have caused me to live in the world like no one or a ghost, why are you so beautiful? Slut! On the Huangquan Road, give my Zhao family a good way to make amends! ”

As soon as the words fell, the bright dagger stabbed towards Shen Ci's worried heart.
