in the ancient last days

It was almost New Year's Eve, but the atmosphere in the capital on the originally festive days was a bit panicky. The cold wind was blowing outside the window. Sitting in the warm carriage, Chu Zhao held the stove and listened to the chatter of the guards beside the carriage.

"I heard that a disease broke out in Chi County, and many people died?"

"Yeah, no, it's almost Chinese New Year and no one dares to come out, they're all worried about their own lives."

plague!It still broke out in a county near the capital, Chu Zhao's expression tightened.

Epidemic diseases, also known as epidemic diseases, are believed by Chinese medicine to be often related to untimely severe cold and unseasonable qi, and may also be caused by abnormal evil qi damage with pathogenic factors.It often occurs in people, animals, or plants, and is called an infectious epidemic virus in modern times.It was different in ancient times. There was a description in "Poetry·Xiaoya·Jienanshan" that "Heaven recommended the plague, and there were many mourning and chaos", which shows the seriousness of the plague in ancient times.

There is no scientific method of epidemic prevention, and the only way to carry out indefinite isolation is by killing and burning corpses.

In just a short period of time, the epidemic outbreak, famine, snowstorm, fire disaster, and now the epidemic has fallen... The Great Zhou Dynasty has been full of disasters recently. Chu Zhao has no idea of ​​​​the divine right of the king, so naturally he will not think that these outbreaks These disasters are the king's fault, but what caused such frequent and extensive disasters?

Chu Zhao felt a little uneasy.

Especially if the boundary of the capital is like this, the people in other places... He pursed his lips, feeling a sense of crisis in his heart, as if thick clouds could not linger around him.

——How about letting Ran Mo go home and tell her mother to store up some food?

After entering the school, the people who were standing around his seat and discussing together saw Chu Zhao walk in, they immediately dispersed, and all showed disdain for his arrogance.

Chu Zhao: "..." Cursing his lips secretly, a group of idiots, think they will care about this childish cold and violent method?He was happy when no one bothered him.

Go back to your seat and sit down. After a while, Guo Fuzi and other teachers came to the school in a hurry.Xu Shi heard about the outbreak of the epidemic, and everyone was not in the mood to attend the class, even the masters seemed absent-minded.

So a whole day of school time passed, and Chu Zhao, who was unprecedented, was not picked on today.

As the cold wind blew, he couldn't help shrunk into the white fox's fur. Chu Zhao rubbed his fingers that were about to freeze, and began to put pens into several bags.

"Master, let Ran Mo do it." How could Jin Gui's little master be allowed to do this job, Ran Mo hurriedly wanted to intervene.

The pen and ink in his hand was taken away, Chu Zhao didn’t care, he stood still and looked at the plum tree outside the window, the red plum in winter was covered with a layer of fine snow, the shadows were very beautiful, the eldest princess loved to wear red clothes Influenced by him, he also fell in love with bright colors.

Suddenly, a shadow blocked his sight.

Chu Zhao raised his head and saw Duke Jing's son Jing Qi standing in front of him with a weird smile on his face.

"Chu Zhao." The other party's voice was condescending, "Later, my uncle will show you a good place to take you to. Fuxiang Courtyard in Nanshi is only accessible to high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital. You must have never seen it before?"

"Fu, Xiang, Yuan?"

"Yes, yes," the little follower behind Jing Shizi hurriedly said, "That's a good place that even gods would envy, Mr. Chu, how lucky you are!"

The sudden invitation was very strange, and Chu Zhao frowned with a tone of alms-like respect for relatives, his face was expressionless: "No need, thank you for your kindness."

The little follower was angry: "How dare you reject our son?!"

Chu Zhao didn't want to talk nonsense with them, so he turned around and wanted to walk away.

"Stop!" Jing Qi suddenly stopped in front of him, glanced at Chu Zhao up and down, looked at his face, and a strong irony flashed in his eyes, "Chu Zhao, there is actually a roommate by your side all these years." I don’t have any with the maid, so it’s not possible there, right?”

"Still think His Royal Highness Jing will take a fancy to you by pretending to be clean? It's ridiculous, don't look at your own identity, your mother..."

"To shut up."

A roar stunned several people, and Chu Zhao clenched his fists tightly: "Respect your son, be careful, no matter what, my mother is also the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it's not your turn to talk about it!"

Jing Shizi: "Oh, what's the matter with my son? A woman is still delusional to get a high position. If I say that women should stay at home obediently and take care of their husbands and children, they are not worthy of being like the eldest princess...Ah! "

His stomach was throbbing with a savage punch, Jing Shizi's face was grim: "Chu Zhao, how dare you?!"

No, Chu Zhao realized after finishing the beating that he had no helpers in the school, only a position to be slaughtered.

Jing Qi clutched his stomach: "Quick, stop him!"

Chu Zhao clenched his fists suddenly and hit two servants who were rushing up. In the end, he was defeated and was pushed down.

"Let me go!" Chu Zhao struggled as he was pressed hard against the stone bricks.

"Young Master!" Ran Mo wanted to help the little master, but was stopped by two strong men, and could only watch helplessly as Chu Zhao was dragged to the ice lake outside by two tall servants accompanied by Jing Qi.

A thick layer of ice had formed on the icy lake, and Jing Qi held his stomach and grinned grimly: "Press him on it and take off his pants."

"I'd like to see if Chu Zhao can still be hard after this experience!"

"Young master, young master," Ran Mo cried, struggling desperately, and it was freezing cold. If Chu Zhao lost such a big face on the ice in front of everyone, not to mention the shadow left by the blow in his heart, maybe his body would also suffer. Will be damaged, the eldest princess must know that he must be skinned!

"Who will save the young master!!"

Jingqi was determined to personally humiliate Chu Zhao, a guy who didn't know what to do and who always wanted to fight against him. He reached down and touched Yuebai's belt...

"stop!"

Zhou Jing who was passing by saw this scene, his eyes were tearing apart, his mind went blank for an instant, and he subconsciously found the things in his hand and threw them at Jingqi.

When the people here saw the eighth prince, they were also stunned immediately.

Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black viewing platform descended against the sky, smashing through the ice layer. Unexpectedly, Zhou Jing's strength was so great that the ice layer was broken by more than [-] centimeters. There was a cracking sound that frightened Chu Zhao's body. The respected relative immediately let go of his hand.

He staggered and fell to the ground. Before Chu Zhao could react, the crackling sound of the ice cracking near his ear was getting closer and closer. His heart was throbbing, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. An inexplicable sense of crisis seized him.The next moment, Chu Zhao saw a big black mouth open in front of him, and the white teeth shone with fierce silver light.

The others fell on the ice, watching the terrifying black object suddenly appearing with horror.

"boom!"

At the critical moment, Chu Zhao rolled to avoid it, and something hit the ground with a piercing sound, and then fell into the ice layer and bounced off his body, unable to move anymore.Enduring the severe pain in his ankle, Chu Zhao turned his head, wanting to see clearly what the monster that attacked him was. It had a pointed head and a thin tail, and it was in the shape of a long strip...a ​​fish? !

This monster with a mouth full of fangs is actually a fish?

When did the fish in the lake grow like this?

"Master!" Breaking free from the shackles, Ran Mo rushed over and found that his young master was still safe. He was so thankful.

"Chu Zhao." A figure came hurriedly, the master with a cold face was no longer calm, and there was a little anxiety in his eyes.For no reason, looking at the other party, Chu Zhao felt angry and resentful in his heart. If it wasn't for the other party, why did he suffer so much disaster?

He was not stupid, he had already guessed that half of the humiliation he had suffered in this palace since he was a child was brought to him by Zhou Jing.

Angry from his heart, without thinking about it, Chu Zhao shook his head again to avoid Zhou Jing's helping hand.

Zhou Jing paused, standing there in a daze made others heartbroken. Many students gritted their teeth and turned their eyes to Chu Zhao, thinking that this guy was really impatient.

Being supported by Ran Mo, Chu Zhao took a deep look at the strange fish on the icy lake, remembered the appearance of that thing in his heart, then limped away from the spot without turning his head.

Only Zhou Jing, standing on the ice in the middle of winter, seemed to be splashed with a bucket of ice water from head to toe, the cold air rushed straight up from the soles of the feet, and the bones were filled with coolness.

After returning to the mansion, Chu Zhao started to have a fever.

Because of being dragged into the icy lake by people in the cold winter, and almost being killed by a strange fish, Chu Zhao had palpitations in his dreams, and he couldn't sleep well. In the middle of the night, he had a high fever, and his forehead was hot.

Now Ranmo couldn't hide it no matter how hard he tried, and under the rage of the two masters of the princess mansion, he told everything that happened in the school today.

"what?"

The eldest princess clutched her chest and was out of breath, the tears in her eyes were pattering down, the mother and child were of the same heart, her most beloved son was humiliated in this way in the palace!Do you think that keeping her and Chu Changqing from knowing will make them feel better?

After thinking about it carefully, the eldest princess guessed why Chu Zhao wanted to hide the truth from the two of them, and her heart felt like being cut by a knife, and the pain was unbearable.If she hadn't overestimated her abilities back then, she wouldn't have caused her child to end up like this. Nowadays, anyone who is humble can step on it.

After all, he still felt sorry for his son, Father Chu closed his eyes hard, and after a long time, let out a long sigh: "Yue'er, don't panic, I will go to the palace to see the Holy Majesty."

Although the Chu family is no longer useful, they have accumulated some money in business over the years, which can be used to fill the emperor's private treasury after all.

Today's sex is very extravagant, and ordinary gold, silver and jewelry are not enough. I want to search for rare ones but suffer from financial resources.The Chu family has been working as a businessman for many years because they were unable to enter the court. If they handed over all of it, it would be a lot of money. Maybe the Emperor Zhou would seek an explanation for his son because of the loyalty of the Chu family.

The eldest princess twisted the corner of the quilt for Chu Zhao who was in a coma and said nothing, feeling pessimistic in her heart.

It's not that she belittles, her husband is good everywhere, but he is not very flexible, how can he fight against that shameless Emperor Zhou?At the beginning, the other party was able to watch her fight with others to the death and stay behind to pick up the leaks, which was enough to show the other party's insidious heart.

Chu Changqing has the appearance of a little sheep, afraid that he will be swallowed alive without knowing it.

With many twists and turns in her heart, the eldest princess finally said, "I'll go!"

She stopped her husband, curled her red lips and said, "I am his eldest sister, the only eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I am the most qualified to step into that place. Chu Changqing, you are not allowed to be with me." I fight."
