A kitten dressed as an empress
Chapter 29
The rain had been pattering down for more than half a month before the sun came out. In the morning, the empress came out of the Yuqing Palace to pay her respects, and Chunyue respectfully waited beside Li Nanny.
"That little girl hasn't been found yet?" Madam Li asked with a frown.
Chunyue shook her head and replied, "The large and small rooms in Yuqing Palace and even the cellar of the ice store have been checked by people, as if they disappeared out of thin air."
Nanny Li said with contempt: "It's better for this vixen to die, so as not to be an eyesore!"
"Yes." Chunyue lowered her head and echoed, and she caught a glimpse of the side hall with its closed door out of the corner of her eye.
Your Majesty has ordered the palace people not to enter without authorization, there must be some secret hidden in it.
Chunyue sneaked out of the greenhouse, and entered by the side door of the hall. The outside room was very empty, and there were no objects.
The side hall is not as spacious as the main hall, and there are no secret doors, so Chunyue went straight into the inner hall.
"Meow!" A kitten with hair like snow was lying on the desk and staring at this side in astonishment.
Chunyue was stunned by the sudden sound, but she soon came back to her senses.
Why does this little cat look a little like the one that ran out of the summer palace back then?
Living creatures are never allowed to appear in Yuqing Palace, not because of the random speculation of the palace people, but because of the secret order of the Supreme Emperor.
Just as he was about to come forward to catch the kitten, he didn't expect the fluffy ball to rush out of the window extremely fast.
Wen Ruyan was completely dumbfounded, with her little head lying on the window to peek.
I saw Chunyue wandering back and forth in the inner hall, and went out after a while.
It didn't look like he was looking for something, but rather someone.
The little milk cat jumped up to the roof and followed Chunyue quietly. The palace people in the flower room were busy with their own work, but no one noticed that Chunyue stopped quietly in front of a potted plant with blue petals in full bloom.
Chunyue carefully cut off a piece of fruit from the blue petals, wrapped it in a handkerchief and hid it in her sleeve.
Zhao Yao once said that the brighter the flower, the more poisonous it is.
When dinner was approaching noon, when Wen Ruyan slipped back to the side hall, there were already dishes on the low table.
"Come here." Zhao Yao beckoned as she sat on the side.
The little milk cat walked forward slowly, and was immediately embraced, and a kerchief was tied around its neck before it was released.
Zhao Yao poked the rounder face with her fingertips and said, "You won't be able to eat like this, your face is covered with rice."
Wen Ruyan was lying on the side eating, thinking about Chunyue, she dipped her paws in some tea and wrote a few words on the table.
"Greenhouse, blue flowers?" Zhao Yao looked at the jumbled characters and could only guess, "Did you go to the flowerhouse and see a potted plant with blue petals in full bloom?"
The little milk cat nodded hurriedly, watching with big eyes without blinking.
Zhao Yao took a sip of the soup with a wooden spoon in her hand: "The blue and white flowers should also bear fruit at this time, but the flowers are not poisonous, but its fruit is colorless and tasteless, and has only a strange medicinal effect. After taking it for a long time, it will slowly fade away. It makes it difficult for people to move their limbs, until they have a stroke and cannot move."
This, is there no sex?
"You won't eat that fruit, will you?" Zhao Yao looked at the little milk cat with its head up.
Wen Ruyan looked away in disgust, and lowered his head to eat the soaked rice, wondering if he looked so stupid?
Zhao Yao raised her hand and gently rubbed that fluffy little head, and said with her lips raised, "You can still eat, it seems that you are not so stupid."
"Meow!" The little milk cat awkwardly avoided the protruding hand, and called fiercely.
"I advise you not to go wandering in the flower room casually. Although the flowers and plants in there are beautiful, they are somewhat poisonous." Zhao Yao took some chicken with chopsticks and soaked it in white water, and then put it on the table. In the small dish, "If one day you are poisoned, I have no antidote to save you."
The little milk cat lowered its head to eat the chicken, and grunted several times, wondering if it listened to the words.
In the side room in the backyard, Nanny Li was lying limp, and Chunyue on one side lightly rubbed and beat her legs.
"It's been a while since I've had a few sips." Nanny Li closed her eyes and pointed at the flagon on the cabinet leisurely.
Chunyue got up immediately, turned her back to Nanny Li, mixed the mashed juice into the jug, and then shook it slightly before bringing it to the couch.
Nanny Li took the wine cup and sipped the small building, sighed very comfortably: "Now that it's summer, there are complicated affairs in the palace, Chunlan is gone, and you are the only obedient person beside me."
"If Mammy has an order, Chunyue will definitely do it."
"You are too dull. Although you are not as clever as Chunlan, but fortunately you are thoughtful and considerate. In the future, my wife, I will be indispensable to you."
"Yes." Chunyue watched silently, like a log.
The afternoon in early summer was getting hotter and hotter. Wen Ruyan was lazily lying on the window sill. Occasionally, the breeze blew by, causing the overlong hair to fly along with it, and the finer hairs fell down.
Zhao Yao flicked off the fine white fluff on the skirt with her fingertips, and said with her thin lips, "Your hair has fallen out too much recently."
The little milk cat turned its head slightly and turned its head to look over. It looked very round, but it landed on the low table with a light jump.
"Meow?" Wen Ruyan took a serious look, only to find that there were a lot of fine white fluff on the low table and the low couch.
Summer is here, and it is indeed easier to shed hair than usual. Wen Ruyan raised his paw curiously, and there was a lot of hair stuck to it.
Zhao Yao watched the little milk cat combing its hair by itself, raised her hand to grab the hair on the nape of her neck and said, "I'll cut it for you."
"Meow!" She was cut like a bald man last time, Wen Ruyan resisted from the bottom of her heart!
But when the back of the neck was firmly held down, the little milk cat didn't dare to struggle at all, and lay its two front paws beside its head, very obedient.
Zhao Yao gently rubbed her fluffy little ears with her fingertips, holding the big scissors in one hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, it will pass soon."
The little milk cat was lying on her stomach with nothing to love, afraid that Zhao Yao's hands would shake for a while.
The hair is too long and can be cut quickly. After all, with the experience of the last time, Zhao Yao looked at this little guy who has lost weight with self-conscious satisfaction.
Wen Ruyan jumped to the bronze mirror curiously to have a look, the haircutting technique had indeed improved.
The little milk cat was stuck in front of the bronze mirror, looking at it without blinking its big amber eyes.
Zhao Yao raised the corners of her lips and said, "Don't look at it, you have to deal with these cat hairs."
So Wen Ruyan dragged the small package and jumped out of the window, and walked around the path to the backyard.
There was a large wooden barrel for garbage in the backyard kitchen, Wen Ruyan threw the cat hair into it from a height, turned around and planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, he saw a lot of guards outside Yuqing Palace. Looking at the entire palace from the roof tiles, even the nearby palace roads were heavily guarded.
When Wen Ruyan returned to the side hall and jumped in through the window, Zhao Yao was not there.
In the outer hall, Zhao Yao was sitting on a high seat, holding a memorial in her hand, and said, "Why did you suddenly send more people to guard the Yuqing Palace?"
The female officer respectfully stood aside and responded: "Return to Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has ordered that there may be chaos in the palace, so he specially sent someone to protect His Majesty."
Zhao Yao closed the memorial in her hand, looking at the guard outside the open palace door with murderous intent in her eyes and said: "I know."
"Resignation, my servant." The female officer kowtowed and saluted, then slowly stood up and retreated.
That night, a banquet was held in the Taishang Palace for the four princes, and Zhao Yao also attended the banquet.
Wang Zhoujun is two years younger than Zhao Yao, and he is timid and quiet at the banquet, but Song Jun can't see anything.
Most of the people sent to the palace by the four great families are irrelevant to the family, and now even if they are in their hands as protons, they will not be of much use.
Zhao Yao couldn't see what the Supreme Emperor was thinking, the wine cups kept on going at the banquet, and all the gentlemen were a little bit drunk.
Being on guard against Zhao Yao, he didn't dare to drink too much, the Supreme Emperor took a sip of the wine, and slyly looked at the four princes who were already very drunk.
"Your Majesty's age is right now, and you should also attend to bedtime. The full moon tonight is a good time."
All the four princes reluctantly stood up and saluted, and were helped into the inner hall by a group of palace people.
The Supreme Emperor put down the wine cup in his hand and said: "Which gentleman does Yao'er think is pleasing to the eye, why don't you give it a try?"
Only then did Zhao Yao realize that the Supreme Emperor needed the four great families to deal with the turmoil.
And the best way is to conceive an heir, so as to stabilize the four big aristocratic families that are about to move, and conceive for ten months, which is enough to delay the time.
Zhao Yao held the wine cup with her fingertips and responded, "Auntie, which gentleman do you think is suitable?"
"If you want my aunt to see them, none of them are suitable." The Supreme Emperor slowly got up, and stretched out his hand to signal the palace people behind him to enter the inner hall.
There were only two people left in the outer hall, Zhao Yao looked up at the Supreme Emperor who was slowly approaching.
"Those people have all been drinking, and the palace people are wearing masks, so naturally they can't detect the difference." The Taishang Emperor lightly touched Zhao Yao's side face with his fingertips, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Yao'er, do you know why my aunt did this? "
Zhao Yao tightly clenched the hands that were hanging down in her sleeves, and her thin lips responded slightly: "My aunt wants to use the four great families behind them to help quell the turmoil."
"If they make trouble behind their backs, the Southern Kingdom will be at stake." The Supreme Emperor lightly raised Zhao Yao's chin with his index finger and sighed: "But the palace people are not as good as Yao'er."
The fingertips resting on the side face loosened, and the Supreme Emperor covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.
The outer hall was silent, and Zhao Yao could clearly see the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Logically, it shouldn't happen so quickly, the bluebell grass needs at least five years, and this is only the third year.
The Supreme Emperor turned sideways and breathed gently: "Do you know why you were chosen to succeed the Empress?"
Zhao Yao sat quietly on one side and responded, "Yao'er doesn't know."
"You don't know?" The Supreme Emperor smiled mockingly, "Yao'er and Auntie are the same kind of person from the bottom of their hearts."
"Back then you dared to assassinate with your own hands, but your obedience now is just to restrain your minions temporarily."
The original full moon outside the window was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and the window was rattled by a gust of wind. This scene was somewhat similar to that year.
Zhao Yao turned her head to look at the flickering candle, and suddenly saw a young child approaching the drunk man with a dagger.
But with a flicker of the candle, the child was suppressed to the ground.
There was no plan for the assassination, just a child's rage, and the mother had been watching secretly.
If you succeed, you win; if you fail, you lose.
I am just a pawn.
The Supreme Emperor looked away from the window and said, "The news of the pregnancy will be passed on to the four great families. You are ready to deal with those old foxes."
Zhao Yao restrained her mind and responded, "Yes."
After coming out of the Chaotian Palace, Zhao Yao sat alone on the chariot, with her hands folded in her sleeves and placed in front of her body, the dagger still tightly held in her left hand was not released.
The night breeze was slightly bright, Zhao Yao stretched out her hand to lift the bamboo curtain, and looked at the guards outside the palace road.
That sudden sudden illness of the Supreme Emperor was probably the real cause of the blue bell grass's poisonous attack.
At the end of June, the midsummer was getting hotter and hotter. Zhao Yao wrapped her coat slightly in front of her body, and looked sideways at the bronze mirror.
The person in the mirror is dressed gorgeously, with his hips slightly raised, and his hands folded in front of his body to cover it quietly.
The cicadas were chirping outside the hall, and the Yuqing Palace was silent. Zhao Yao glanced at the little milk cat slumped on the low table, and then left the inner hall.
The Taishang Emperor specially held a banquet in the Imperial Garden on his birthday, the night was getting darker, the palace lanterns were shining brightly, and all the officials looked at Zhao Yao thoughtfully.
The guards stood around, the Supreme Emperor drank a lot of wine, but his expression was extremely sober.
In the middle of the night, the four great aristocratic families summoned them alone on the grounds of their heirs. They thought they were here to discuss the matter of canonizing the queen.
After all, the child is in the empress' womb, but who is the father is still unknown.
Who would have thought that after seeing the Empress and the Supreme Emperor for a long time, the four aristocratic families suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"There are turmoil in the southern country, do you have a good plan?" The Supreme Emperor slowly entered, followed by Zhao Yao.
The four great aristocratic families have many military fiefdoms in their hands, and the two generations of military generals of Wang and Zhou are even more powerful, and the disciples of the two families of Song and Qi are all over the court and the public. Of.
Song Taishi took a step forward and responded: "The veteran thinks that we should send the capital's elite troops to suppress it."
"But if there is no army guarding the capital, what will happen then?"
The crowd didn't respond, the Supreme Emperor turned to look at the two generals Wang and Zhou and said, "How many soldiers and horses may the two generals spare to protect the city?"
General Wang glanced at Grand Master Song and said, "Nowadays there is turmoil everywhere, I'm afraid I won't be able to mobilize many troops."
The Taishang Emperor's eyes flashed slyly, and he changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty is pregnant now, and the fetus in the womb is the prince of the Southern Kingdom. It's just that the position of queen has not yet been determined. Do you have any suggestions?"
Zhao Yao sat quietly on one side, seeing that Wang Tui will be clearly moved, but Song Taishi is a very deep-minded counselor.
At the beginning, the Jin family was a relative of the emperor, and the four great families had seen the prestige in it.
In the past, it was easy for a woman to distinguish her mother when she was pregnant as a concubine, but now the situation is chaotic, and the position of empress has obviously become a struggle for power among the families behind the scenes.
The pursuit of power made the four great families form an alliance, and now it is the search for power that creates a gap between them.
In just half a month's time, General Wang took the initiative to send troops to ask for a fight on Tuesday. Seeing this, Grand Master Song no longer mentioned the matter of sending troops to the imperial court.
The soldiers and horses of the Northwest Kingdom retreated one after another, obviously because they had received news from the court.
But Zhao Yao was forced to stay in Yuqing Palace to raise her baby, and she didn't even have to go to the morning court, and the soup and water never stopped.
It's no wonder that the Supreme Emperor hadn't been pregnant for ten years. If the Empress were to become pregnant, it would be extremely dangerous.
"Hi..." The little milk cat collapsed beside his hand, and half of the soup bowl beside him was still unfinished.
"You can't drink anymore?" Zhao Yao rubbed her soft butt with her fingertips.
The little milk cat had no intention of avoiding it at all, it raised its head and responded very cooperatively: "Meow."
Wen Ruyan glanced sideways at the soup bowls on the big table, thinking that if he drank all of it, he would definitely grow fat.
Zhao Yao sipped the soup while holding a wooden spoon with one hand, and played with the little milk cat's jaw with the other finger: "Does it look like I'm pregnant now?"
Compared with the thinner person before, it seems that he has gained some flesh now, but he still looks very thin.
The little milk cat stood up slowly, and moved forward patiently with its paws. It looked in front of it without blinking its big amber eyes.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Yao looked down at the stunned little milk cat in confusion.
Wen Ruyan looked away in embarrassment, thinking that if there were no papaya in this world, the effect of stewed soybeans with pig's trotters would be similar.
When the night was getting dark, Zhao Yao was sitting on the bed holding a book in her hands, and the little milk cat beside her was poking her head out of her arms to read curiously.
"Do you like to read this kind of book?" Zhao Yao rubbed her pricked ears with her palm, "This book tells the story of an idiot who resents a woman and finally throws herself into the lake cowardly. I don't see what's interesting about it."
The little milk cat looked at it seriously and didn't pay any attention to Zhao Yao's words.
Because the windows were slightly open, the candles swayed slightly, and even the gauze curtains also swayed.
Wen Ruyan was terrified by the sudden wind, and buried her head in her arms, not daring to read the book.
Although the side hall is not as big as the main hall, it is still quite empty compared to ordinary houses.
"It's just the wind, what are you afraid of?" Zhao Yao pursed her lips and pinched the soft flesh of her cheek with her palm, forcing her head to lift up.
The little milk cat peeked at the black shadow outside the gauze tent and responded in a low voice: "Meow."
Zhao Yao poked her soft cheek with her fingertips and said with a smile: "Are you still afraid of ghosts?"
Wen Ruyan nodded sincerely, staring at the thin blanket with her fluffy head, only her little ears were exposed.
"People in the palace are more terrifying than ghosts."
"Meow?"
Zhao Yao smiled and said nothing, closed the book in her hand, then lay down on her side, hugged the soft little milk cat in her palm and whispered: "Tomorrow, how about you sneaking into the palace of Concubine Jin?"
The little milk cat was held in Zhao Yao's arms with one hand, unable to move at all, and her big eyes were full of reluctance.
"It's only natural to pay off debts. If you can't even handle such a trivial matter, how can I let you out of the palace in the future?"
"Meow!" The aggressive method is useless to me!
In the early morning of the next day, Wen Ruyan jumped down from the palace wall of Yuqing Palace in a desperation, and while walking, he did not forget to complain about the black-hearted boss who ruthlessly oppressed small animals.
Concubine Jin's palace has been there several times, so Wen Ruyan is naturally familiar with the route.
Although it is not as magnificent as Chaotian Palace and Yuqing Palace, it is still a very large palace.
After finally jumping over the palace wall, Wen Ruyan realized that there were so many scary guards in front of the palace gate.
Is this a hotel or a prison?
There will be palace attendants in every palace, but few palace attendants have come out for most of the day.
The little milk cat went around to the main hall anxiously, sneaking like a thief along the way, but the doors and windows of the main hall were closed tightly without leaving a crack.
So I had no choice but to climb up to the ridge of the roof and quietly peel off the tiles, poked my head in, and jumped cautiously to the beam.
I thought I was going to die of fear, but I didn't expect Wen Ruyan to be so agile that he couldn't believe it. For this reason, the only red incense pill bag was specially hung around his neck, especially to prevent emergencies.
There is no palace person in the entire main hall, because the doors and windows are closed, it is not particularly bright, and there are faint crying sounds in the inner hall, the whole is a haunted house!
Wen Ruyan was extremely timid, so he gritted his teeth and went in, only to see a person sitting on the bed in the bedroom, his limbs were bound by iron chains, and his hair was disheveled.
But the clothes on her body are complicated and luxurious, she should not be an ordinary woman, and her figure is also very similar to that of Jin Taifei.
Just as Wen Ruyan was hesitating, a man in black suddenly jumped off the roof.
The woman whose back was turned away suddenly turned her head, her eyes were bloodstained, her face was as pale as a ghost, Wen Ruyan froze completely from ears to tail in fright.
If it wasn't for the fear of being exposed, he would have screamed in fright!
"You're here." The blind woman choked up.
The man in black unbuttoned his veil, and it was a middle-aged man with a beard, who stretched out his arms to comfort the woman: "I'm here to take you out of the palace!"
Wen Ruyan squatted in the corner, looking at the woman carefully, only to realize that this woman seemed to be the Concubine Jin.
"No, don't go." Concubine Jin stretched out her hand to grab the middle-aged man's hand, and begged, "Go quickly, or you won't live long if the guards find you."
"How can I abandon you?" The middle-aged man spoke out with great righteousness, and carefully took out the medicine bottle, "After three days, if you take this fake death medicine, I will take this opportunity to take you out of the palace."
The two seemed to be old acquaintances, and they talked about some things in detail, Wen Ruyan didn't dare to stay any longer, so he quietly opened the window and slipped out.
It was already noon when we returned to Yuqing Palace, Wen Ruyan didn't use the red incense pills he had saved, but asked for two red incense pills as salary.
Zhao Yao stretched out her hands to pinch the cheeks of the little milk cat and said, "I hope your news is worth two Hongxiang pills."
But in the blink of an eye, the little milk cat became a girl.
Wen Ruyan sat aside wrapped in a thin blanket, stretched out his hand to pour a cup of tea and took a big sip before telling what he had seen and heard.
"Do you know who Concubine Jin offended?" Wen Ruyan asked after talking a lot.
Zhao Yao took a sip of her tea and did not respond. Naturally, that person is the only one in the entire palace who can treat Concubine Jin like this.
"According to what you said, that middle-aged man has been lurking in the palace for a while." Zhao Yao asked back.
Wen Ruyan was wrapped in a thin blanket, only his head was exposed and a slender white arm was stretched out to take a pastry to answer: "Yeah, that uncle seems to like Jin Taifei, and he said that he stayed in the palace only for Jin Taifei. "
"Uncle?" Zhao Yao looked at the white hand, then looked away, stretched out her hand to remove the plate of pastries and asked, "Do you think everyone is relative?"
"This is polite, okay?" Wen Ruyan couldn't get the pastry, so he had to lean over, then took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "You haven't told me who hurt Jin Toffee."
"Who do you think has the power in the palace to hurt Concubine Jin?"
The girl's cheeks were bulging and stuffed with pastries, she looked at this direction with bright eyes, and said in great surprise: "Wow, it can't be your aunt?"
Zhao Yao frowned slightly and said, "Fortunately, you're not so stupid that you can't be saved."
Hey?
Wen Ruyan gritted his teeth and ate the pastry, "My friend, let me advise you, you have to be kind, otherwise you won't be interested!"
"What is the object?" Zhao Yao poured tea and handed it over.
The girl raised her hand to take the tea very bluntly, and said with a soft snort, "You have never even been in love. There is a time gap between me and you, and it is simply impossible to bridge."
Zhao Yao didn't feel displeased when she heard the novel words, but asked along the way: "Then have you ever been in love?"
Wen Ruyan, who was drinking tea, spat out a mouthful of water, her little face flushed red from choking.
Are the ancients so straightforward?
"Of course I did. Who is like you? You spend all day in the house reading hard-to-remember and hard-to-understand political books, and your only hobby is growing flowers." Wen Ruyan Guilty eyes dodge.
How could Zhao Yao fail to see the girl's guilty conscience, turned her eyes slightly away from the girl's flushed face and said: "If the love you mentioned refers to the story in the book, I would rather not talk about it."
Although Wen Ruyan was reluctant to admit it, what he said seemed quite reasonable.

"That little girl hasn't been found yet?" Madam Li asked with a frown.
Chunyue shook her head and replied, "The large and small rooms in Yuqing Palace and even the cellar of the ice store have been checked by people, as if they disappeared out of thin air."
Nanny Li said with contempt: "It's better for this vixen to die, so as not to be an eyesore!"
"Yes." Chunyue lowered her head and echoed, and she caught a glimpse of the side hall with its closed door out of the corner of her eye.
Your Majesty has ordered the palace people not to enter without authorization, there must be some secret hidden in it.
Chunyue sneaked out of the greenhouse, and entered by the side door of the hall. The outside room was very empty, and there were no objects.
The side hall is not as spacious as the main hall, and there are no secret doors, so Chunyue went straight into the inner hall.
"Meow!" A kitten with hair like snow was lying on the desk and staring at this side in astonishment.
Chunyue was stunned by the sudden sound, but she soon came back to her senses.
Why does this little cat look a little like the one that ran out of the summer palace back then?
Living creatures are never allowed to appear in Yuqing Palace, not because of the random speculation of the palace people, but because of the secret order of the Supreme Emperor.
Just as he was about to come forward to catch the kitten, he didn't expect the fluffy ball to rush out of the window extremely fast.
Wen Ruyan was completely dumbfounded, with her little head lying on the window to peek.
I saw Chunyue wandering back and forth in the inner hall, and went out after a while.
It didn't look like he was looking for something, but rather someone.
The little milk cat jumped up to the roof and followed Chunyue quietly. The palace people in the flower room were busy with their own work, but no one noticed that Chunyue stopped quietly in front of a potted plant with blue petals in full bloom.
Chunyue carefully cut off a piece of fruit from the blue petals, wrapped it in a handkerchief and hid it in her sleeve.
Zhao Yao once said that the brighter the flower, the more poisonous it is.
When dinner was approaching noon, when Wen Ruyan slipped back to the side hall, there were already dishes on the low table.
"Come here." Zhao Yao beckoned as she sat on the side.
The little milk cat walked forward slowly, and was immediately embraced, and a kerchief was tied around its neck before it was released.
Zhao Yao poked the rounder face with her fingertips and said, "You won't be able to eat like this, your face is covered with rice."
Wen Ruyan was lying on the side eating, thinking about Chunyue, she dipped her paws in some tea and wrote a few words on the table.
"Greenhouse, blue flowers?" Zhao Yao looked at the jumbled characters and could only guess, "Did you go to the flowerhouse and see a potted plant with blue petals in full bloom?"
The little milk cat nodded hurriedly, watching with big eyes without blinking.
Zhao Yao took a sip of the soup with a wooden spoon in her hand: "The blue and white flowers should also bear fruit at this time, but the flowers are not poisonous, but its fruit is colorless and tasteless, and has only a strange medicinal effect.

This, is there no sex?
"You won't eat that fruit, will you?" Zhao Yao looked at the little milk cat with its head up.
Wen Ruyan looked away in disgust, and lowered his head to eat the soaked rice, wondering if he looked so stupid?
Zhao Yao raised her hand and gently rubbed that fluffy little head, and said with her lips raised, "You can still eat, it seems that you are not so stupid."
"Meow!" The little milk cat awkwardly avoided the protruding hand, and called fiercely.
"I advise you not to go wandering in the flower room casually. Although the flowers and plants in there are beautiful, they are somewhat poisonous." Zhao Yao took some chicken with chopsticks and soaked it in white water, and then put it on the table. In the small dish, "If one day you are poisoned, I have no antidote to save you."
The little milk cat lowered its head to eat the chicken, and grunted several times, wondering if it listened to the words.
In the side room in the backyard, Nanny Li was lying limp, and Chunyue on one side lightly rubbed and beat her legs.
"It's been a while since I've had a few sips." Nanny Li closed her eyes and pointed at the flagon on the cabinet leisurely.
Chunyue got up immediately, turned her back to Nanny Li, mixed the mashed juice into the jug, and then shook it slightly before bringing it to the couch.
Nanny Li took the wine cup and sipped the small building, sighed very comfortably: "Now that it's summer, there are complicated affairs in the palace, Chunlan is gone, and you are the only obedient person beside me."
"If Mammy has an order, Chunyue will definitely do it."
"You are too dull. Although you are not as clever as Chunlan, but fortunately you are thoughtful and considerate. In the future, my wife, I will be indispensable to you."
"Yes." Chunyue watched silently, like a log.
The afternoon in early summer was getting hotter and hotter. Wen Ruyan was lazily lying on the window sill. Occasionally, the breeze blew by, causing the overlong hair to fly along with it, and the finer hairs fell down.
Zhao Yao flicked off the fine white fluff on the skirt with her fingertips, and said with her thin lips, "Your hair has fallen out too much recently."
The little milk cat turned its head slightly and turned its head to look over. It looked very round, but it landed on the low table with a light jump.
"Meow?" Wen Ruyan took a serious look, only to find that there were a lot of fine white fluff on the low table and the low couch.
Summer is here, and it is indeed easier to shed hair than usual. Wen Ruyan raised his paw curiously, and there was a lot of hair stuck to it.
Zhao Yao watched the little milk cat combing its hair by itself, raised her hand to grab the hair on the nape of her neck and said, "I'll cut it for you."
"Meow!" She was cut like a bald man last time, Wen Ruyan resisted from the bottom of her heart!
But when the back of the neck was firmly held down, the little milk cat didn't dare to struggle at all, and lay its two front paws beside its head, very obedient.
Zhao Yao gently rubbed her fluffy little ears with her fingertips, holding the big scissors in one hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, it will pass soon."
The little milk cat was lying on her stomach with nothing to love, afraid that Zhao Yao's hands would shake for a while.
The hair is too long and can be cut quickly. After all, with the experience of the last time, Zhao Yao looked at this little guy who has lost weight with self-conscious satisfaction.
Wen Ruyan jumped to the bronze mirror curiously to have a look, the haircutting technique had indeed improved.
The little milk cat was stuck in front of the bronze mirror, looking at it without blinking its big amber eyes.
Zhao Yao raised the corners of her lips and said, "Don't look at it, you have to deal with these cat hairs."
So Wen Ruyan dragged the small package and jumped out of the window, and walked around the path to the backyard.
There was a large wooden barrel for garbage in the backyard kitchen, Wen Ruyan threw the cat hair into it from a height, turned around and planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, he saw a lot of guards outside Yuqing Palace. Looking at the entire palace from the roof tiles, even the nearby palace roads were heavily guarded.
When Wen Ruyan returned to the side hall and jumped in through the window, Zhao Yao was not there.
In the outer hall, Zhao Yao was sitting on a high seat, holding a memorial in her hand, and said, "Why did you suddenly send more people to guard the Yuqing Palace?"
The female officer respectfully stood aside and responded: "Return to Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has ordered that there may be chaos in the palace, so he specially sent someone to protect His Majesty."
Zhao Yao closed the memorial in her hand, looking at the guard outside the open palace door with murderous intent in her eyes and said: "I know."
"Resignation, my servant." The female officer kowtowed and saluted, then slowly stood up and retreated.
That night, a banquet was held in the Taishang Palace for the four princes, and Zhao Yao also attended the banquet.
Wang Zhoujun is two years younger than Zhao Yao, and he is timid and quiet at the banquet, but Song Jun can't see anything.
Most of the people sent to the palace by the four great families are irrelevant to the family, and now even if they are in their hands as protons, they will not be of much use.
Zhao Yao couldn't see what the Supreme Emperor was thinking, the wine cups kept on going at the banquet, and all the gentlemen were a little bit drunk.
Being on guard against Zhao Yao, he didn't dare to drink too much, the Supreme Emperor took a sip of the wine, and slyly looked at the four princes who were already very drunk.
"Your Majesty's age is right now, and you should also attend to bedtime. The full moon tonight is a good time."
All the four princes reluctantly stood up and saluted, and were helped into the inner hall by a group of palace people.
The Supreme Emperor put down the wine cup in his hand and said: "Which gentleman does Yao'er think is pleasing to the eye, why don't you give it a try?"
Only then did Zhao Yao realize that the Supreme Emperor needed the four great families to deal with the turmoil.
And the best way is to conceive an heir, so as to stabilize the four big aristocratic families that are about to move, and conceive for ten months, which is enough to delay the time.
Zhao Yao held the wine cup with her fingertips and responded, "Auntie, which gentleman do you think is suitable?"
"If you want my aunt to see them, none of them are suitable." The Supreme Emperor slowly got up, and stretched out his hand to signal the palace people behind him to enter the inner hall.
There were only two people left in the outer hall, Zhao Yao looked up at the Supreme Emperor who was slowly approaching.
"Those people have all been drinking, and the palace people are wearing masks, so naturally they can't detect the difference." The Taishang Emperor lightly touched Zhao Yao's side face with his fingertips, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Yao'er, do you know why my aunt did this? "
Zhao Yao tightly clenched the hands that were hanging down in her sleeves, and her thin lips responded slightly: "My aunt wants to use the four great families behind them to help quell the turmoil."
"If they make trouble behind their backs, the Southern Kingdom will be at stake." The Supreme Emperor lightly raised Zhao Yao's chin with his index finger and sighed: "But the palace people are not as good as Yao'er."
The fingertips resting on the side face loosened, and the Supreme Emperor covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.
The outer hall was silent, and Zhao Yao could clearly see the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Logically, it shouldn't happen so quickly, the bluebell grass needs at least five years, and this is only the third year.
The Supreme Emperor turned sideways and breathed gently: "Do you know why you were chosen to succeed the Empress?"
Zhao Yao sat quietly on one side and responded, "Yao'er doesn't know."
"You don't know?" The Supreme Emperor smiled mockingly, "Yao'er and Auntie are the same kind of person from the bottom of their hearts."
"Back then you dared to assassinate with your own hands, but your obedience now is just to restrain your minions temporarily."
The original full moon outside the window was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and the window was rattled by a gust of wind. This scene was somewhat similar to that year.
Zhao Yao turned her head to look at the flickering candle, and suddenly saw a young child approaching the drunk man with a dagger.
But with a flicker of the candle, the child was suppressed to the ground.
There was no plan for the assassination, just a child's rage, and the mother had been watching secretly.
If you succeed, you win; if you fail, you lose.
I am just a pawn.
The Supreme Emperor looked away from the window and said, "The news of the pregnancy will be passed on to the four great families. You are ready to deal with those old foxes."
Zhao Yao restrained her mind and responded, "Yes."
After coming out of the Chaotian Palace, Zhao Yao sat alone on the chariot, with her hands folded in her sleeves and placed in front of her body, the dagger still tightly held in her left hand was not released.
The night breeze was slightly bright, Zhao Yao stretched out her hand to lift the bamboo curtain, and looked at the guards outside the palace road.
That sudden sudden illness of the Supreme Emperor was probably the real cause of the blue bell grass's poisonous attack.
At the end of June, the midsummer was getting hotter and hotter. Zhao Yao wrapped her coat slightly in front of her body, and looked sideways at the bronze mirror.
The person in the mirror is dressed gorgeously, with his hips slightly raised, and his hands folded in front of his body to cover it quietly.
The cicadas were chirping outside the hall, and the Yuqing Palace was silent. Zhao Yao glanced at the little milk cat slumped on the low table, and then left the inner hall.
The Taishang Emperor specially held a banquet in the Imperial Garden on his birthday, the night was getting darker, the palace lanterns were shining brightly, and all the officials looked at Zhao Yao thoughtfully.
The guards stood around, the Supreme Emperor drank a lot of wine, but his expression was extremely sober.
In the middle of the night, the four great aristocratic families summoned them alone on the grounds of their heirs. They thought they were here to discuss the matter of canonizing the queen.
After all, the child is in the empress' womb, but who is the father is still unknown.
Who would have thought that after seeing the Empress and the Supreme Emperor for a long time, the four aristocratic families suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"There are turmoil in the southern country, do you have a good plan?" The Supreme Emperor slowly entered, followed by Zhao Yao.
The four great aristocratic families have many military fiefdoms in their hands, and the two generations of military generals of Wang and Zhou are even more powerful, and the disciples of the two families of Song and Qi are all over the court and the public. Of.
Song Taishi took a step forward and responded: "The veteran thinks that we should send the capital's elite troops to suppress it."
"But if there is no army guarding the capital, what will happen then?"
The crowd didn't respond, the Supreme Emperor turned to look at the two generals Wang and Zhou and said, "How many soldiers and horses may the two generals spare to protect the city?"
General Wang glanced at Grand Master Song and said, "Nowadays there is turmoil everywhere, I'm afraid I won't be able to mobilize many troops."
The Taishang Emperor's eyes flashed slyly, and he changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty is pregnant now, and the fetus in the womb is the prince of the Southern Kingdom. It's just that the position of queen has not yet been determined. Do you have any suggestions?"
Zhao Yao sat quietly on one side, seeing that Wang Tui will be clearly moved, but Song Taishi is a very deep-minded counselor.
At the beginning, the Jin family was a relative of the emperor, and the four great families had seen the prestige in it.
In the past, it was easy for a woman to distinguish her mother when she was pregnant as a concubine, but now the situation is chaotic, and the position of empress has obviously become a struggle for power among the families behind the scenes.
The pursuit of power made the four great families form an alliance, and now it is the search for power that creates a gap between them.
In just half a month's time, General Wang took the initiative to send troops to ask for a fight on Tuesday. Seeing this, Grand Master Song no longer mentioned the matter of sending troops to the imperial court.
The soldiers and horses of the Northwest Kingdom retreated one after another, obviously because they had received news from the court.
But Zhao Yao was forced to stay in Yuqing Palace to raise her baby, and she didn't even have to go to the morning court, and the soup and water never stopped.
It's no wonder that the Supreme Emperor hadn't been pregnant for ten years. If the Empress were to become pregnant, it would be extremely dangerous.
"Hi..." The little milk cat collapsed beside his hand, and half of the soup bowl beside him was still unfinished.
"You can't drink anymore?" Zhao Yao rubbed her soft butt with her fingertips.
The little milk cat had no intention of avoiding it at all, it raised its head and responded very cooperatively: "Meow."
Wen Ruyan glanced sideways at the soup bowls on the big table, thinking that if he drank all of it, he would definitely grow fat.
Zhao Yao sipped the soup while holding a wooden spoon with one hand, and played with the little milk cat's jaw with the other finger: "Does it look like I'm pregnant now?"
Compared with the thinner person before, it seems that he has gained some flesh now, but he still looks very thin.
The little milk cat stood up slowly, and moved forward patiently with its paws. It looked in front of it without blinking its big amber eyes.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Yao looked down at the stunned little milk cat in confusion.
Wen Ruyan looked away in embarrassment, thinking that if there were no papaya in this world, the effect of stewed soybeans with pig's trotters would be similar.
When the night was getting dark, Zhao Yao was sitting on the bed holding a book in her hands, and the little milk cat beside her was poking her head out of her arms to read curiously.
"Do you like to read this kind of book?" Zhao Yao rubbed her pricked ears with her palm, "This book tells the story of an idiot who resents a woman and finally throws herself into the lake cowardly. I don't see what's interesting about it."
The little milk cat looked at it seriously and didn't pay any attention to Zhao Yao's words.
Because the windows were slightly open, the candles swayed slightly, and even the gauze curtains also swayed.
Wen Ruyan was terrified by the sudden wind, and buried her head in her arms, not daring to read the book.
Although the side hall is not as big as the main hall, it is still quite empty compared to ordinary houses.
"It's just the wind, what are you afraid of?" Zhao Yao pursed her lips and pinched the soft flesh of her cheek with her palm, forcing her head to lift up.
The little milk cat peeked at the black shadow outside the gauze tent and responded in a low voice: "Meow."
Zhao Yao poked her soft cheek with her fingertips and said with a smile: "Are you still afraid of ghosts?"
Wen Ruyan nodded sincerely, staring at the thin blanket with her fluffy head, only her little ears were exposed.
"People in the palace are more terrifying than ghosts."
"Meow?"
Zhao Yao smiled and said nothing, closed the book in her hand, then lay down on her side, hugged the soft little milk cat in her palm and whispered: "Tomorrow, how about you sneaking into the palace of Concubine Jin?"
The little milk cat was held in Zhao Yao's arms with one hand, unable to move at all, and her big eyes were full of reluctance.
"It's only natural to pay off debts. If you can't even handle such a trivial matter, how can I let you out of the palace in the future?"
"Meow!" The aggressive method is useless to me!
In the early morning of the next day, Wen Ruyan jumped down from the palace wall of Yuqing Palace in a desperation, and while walking, he did not forget to complain about the black-hearted boss who ruthlessly oppressed small animals.
Concubine Jin's palace has been there several times, so Wen Ruyan is naturally familiar with the route.
Although it is not as magnificent as Chaotian Palace and Yuqing Palace, it is still a very large palace.
After finally jumping over the palace wall, Wen Ruyan realized that there were so many scary guards in front of the palace gate.
Is this a hotel or a prison?
There will be palace attendants in every palace, but few palace attendants have come out for most of the day.
The little milk cat went around to the main hall anxiously, sneaking like a thief along the way, but the doors and windows of the main hall were closed tightly without leaving a crack.
So I had no choice but to climb up to the ridge of the roof and quietly peel off the tiles, poked my head in, and jumped cautiously to the beam.
I thought I was going to die of fear, but I didn't expect Wen Ruyan to be so agile that he couldn't believe it. For this reason, the only red incense pill bag was specially hung around his neck, especially to prevent emergencies.
There is no palace person in the entire main hall, because the doors and windows are closed, it is not particularly bright, and there are faint crying sounds in the inner hall, the whole is a haunted house!
Wen Ruyan was extremely timid, so he gritted his teeth and went in, only to see a person sitting on the bed in the bedroom, his limbs were bound by iron chains, and his hair was disheveled.
But the clothes on her body are complicated and luxurious, she should not be an ordinary woman, and her figure is also very similar to that of Jin Taifei.
Just as Wen Ruyan was hesitating, a man in black suddenly jumped off the roof.
The woman whose back was turned away suddenly turned her head, her eyes were bloodstained, her face was as pale as a ghost, Wen Ruyan froze completely from ears to tail in fright.
If it wasn't for the fear of being exposed, he would have screamed in fright!
"You're here." The blind woman choked up.
The man in black unbuttoned his veil, and it was a middle-aged man with a beard, who stretched out his arms to comfort the woman: "I'm here to take you out of the palace!"
Wen Ruyan squatted in the corner, looking at the woman carefully, only to realize that this woman seemed to be the Concubine Jin.
"No, don't go." Concubine Jin stretched out her hand to grab the middle-aged man's hand, and begged, "Go quickly, or you won't live long if the guards find you."
"How can I abandon you?" The middle-aged man spoke out with great righteousness, and carefully took out the medicine bottle, "After three days, if you take this fake death medicine, I will take this opportunity to take you out of the palace."
The two seemed to be old acquaintances, and they talked about some things in detail, Wen Ruyan didn't dare to stay any longer, so he quietly opened the window and slipped out.
It was already noon when we returned to Yuqing Palace, Wen Ruyan didn't use the red incense pills he had saved, but asked for two red incense pills as salary.
Zhao Yao stretched out her hands to pinch the cheeks of the little milk cat and said, "I hope your news is worth two Hongxiang pills."
But in the blink of an eye, the little milk cat became a girl.
Wen Ruyan sat aside wrapped in a thin blanket, stretched out his hand to pour a cup of tea and took a big sip before telling what he had seen and heard.
"Do you know who Concubine Jin offended?" Wen Ruyan asked after talking a lot.
Zhao Yao took a sip of her tea and did not respond. Naturally, that person is the only one in the entire palace who can treat Concubine Jin like this.
"According to what you said, that middle-aged man has been lurking in the palace for a while." Zhao Yao asked back.
Wen Ruyan was wrapped in a thin blanket, only his head was exposed and a slender white arm was stretched out to take a pastry to answer: "Yeah, that uncle seems to like Jin Taifei, and he said that he stayed in the palace only for Jin Taifei. "
"Uncle?" Zhao Yao looked at the white hand, then looked away, stretched out her hand to remove the plate of pastries and asked, "Do you think everyone is relative?"
"This is polite, okay?" Wen Ruyan couldn't get the pastry, so he had to lean over, then took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "You haven't told me who hurt Jin Toffee."
"Who do you think has the power in the palace to hurt Concubine Jin?"
The girl's cheeks were bulging and stuffed with pastries, she looked at this direction with bright eyes, and said in great surprise: "Wow, it can't be your aunt?"
Zhao Yao frowned slightly and said, "Fortunately, you're not so stupid that you can't be saved."
Hey?
Wen Ruyan gritted his teeth and ate the pastry, "My friend, let me advise you, you have to be kind, otherwise you won't be interested!"
"What is the object?" Zhao Yao poured tea and handed it over.
The girl raised her hand to take the tea very bluntly, and said with a soft snort, "You have never even been in love. There is a time gap between me and you, and it is simply impossible to bridge."
Zhao Yao didn't feel displeased when she heard the novel words, but asked along the way: "Then have you ever been in love?"
Wen Ruyan, who was drinking tea, spat out a mouthful of water, her little face flushed red from choking.
Are the ancients so straightforward?
"Of course I did. Who is like you? You spend all day in the house reading hard-to-remember and hard-to-understand political books, and your only hobby is growing flowers." Wen Ruyan Guilty eyes dodge.
How could Zhao Yao fail to see the girl's guilty conscience, turned her eyes slightly away from the girl's flushed face and said: "If the love you mentioned refers to the story in the book, I would rather not talk about it."
Although Wen Ruyan was reluctant to admit it, what he said seemed quite reasonable.
