Willing to be hired by Jiangshan

arrogant

This winter, the temperature in the capital dropped sharply, and everything went dormant, and snakes were no exception.

It is really not easy to find a snake on this day.But the hard work paid off, and at night, Caixiu came in carrying an iron cage covered with black cloth.

Zhao Zhenzhen took the iron cage and asked worriedly, "Didn't anyone see it?"

Caixiu said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, no one will see you."

Zhao Zhenzhen nodded, put the iron cage on the table, lifted the black cloth outside, and saw a green snake entangled in it, motionless.

Zhao Zhenzhen poked the snake with her finger, with a weird smile on her face, "Honey, it's up to you tomorrow."

Caixiu said: "Is your empress really going to put this snake in Concubine Yi's room tomorrow?"

Zhao Zhenzhen was very displeased and glared at her, "Why, are you afraid? We've reached this point, and it's too late to regret it now. Don't worry, she won't doubt us."

On the second day, all the concubines went to the Yongshou Palace to greet the Empress Dowager as usual.After leaving the door, Zhao Zhenzhen stopped Huang Wan, Du Ruo and Luo Ying, "Sisters, don't leave, why don't you accompany my sister to see Concubine Yi! My sister hasn't paid her respects to Concubine Yi for a long time. What happened last time, I want to come Concubine Yi still has a grudge against her sister, if I go alone, it will be embarrassing."

Huang Wan hesitated a little, "My sister still has some things... Besides, I can't always bother Concubine Yi, she is pregnant after all, Xijing."

Du Ruo was also in a dilemma.

Zhao Zhenzhen talked all kinds of things, and they agreed to go with her.

After all, there were so many people, even if Hu Qingqing felt unhappy seeing Zhao Zhenzhen, she couldn't say anything.

Zhao Zhenzhen has also learned to be smart, and she bows to anyone she sees, "It was my concubine's fault last time. I offended my mother and almost caused a catastrophe. I just hope that my lady has a lot of people and can forgive my concubine. A concubine is shameless." Come, after all, the empress has twin bodies, even if the empress is still angry, the concubine should come to let the empress let her go."

What she said was sincere, and Hu Qingqing was not easy to get angry, and smiled, "Look at what my sister said, since it is a misunderstanding, I will naturally not care about this for you. Get up, it's cold, and the ground is cold. Huan'er, for my sister Prepare some hot tea to warm up your body, and the charcoal fire in this room will add more heat!"

Zhao Zhenzhen sat down, looked at Huan'er adding charcoal, and asked: "Your Majesty is pregnant, so naturally she should keep warm. My Yushu Palace is quite warm. Besides, I am afraid of heat but not cold. Why don't you turn around and let Cai come back?" Sleeve will send half of the charcoal distributed this winter to the empress."

Hu Qingqing was a little surprised, "How embarrassing!"

There is a ration of charcoal in the palace in winter, and how much each concubine should share is according to the rules.The Changqing Palace already had a lot more, burning it all day and all night, these are not enough after all, let alone if they can burn more, who would refuse?It's nice to be warm in the house.

"Sister, why should you be polite to me? You're not an outsider!" Zhao Zhenzhen smiled sincerely.

Huang Wan and Du Ruo looked at each other, and said: "Sister, since Concubine Hui is interested, don't refuse. The charcoal fire in Concubine Concubine and Concubine Shu's room is also divided, and there is Concubine Yi."

Huang Wan and Luo Ying nodded accordingly.

Hu Qingqing thought that these people really came to curry favor with her, and she was in a good mood, "Thank you so much, my sisters!"

After a cup of tea, Huan'er went in and urged Hu Qingqing to take a rest, and then they retreated.

Back at Yushu Palace, Zhao Zhenzhen took out the iron cage and ordered: "Hurry up and heat up the charcoal fire in the room, add more, add as much as you can, hurry up!"

The charcoal fire burned from day to night, and Zhao Zhenzhen was so hot that she just wore a lewd dress. Thinking of Hu Qingqing's face turning pale when she saw the snake, she felt comfortable all over.

Perhaps the temperature was enough, but the snake gradually woke up, spitting out scarlet sputum, and looked strangely frightening.

Zhao Zhenzhen found a thick coat to wrap up the iron cage, "Let's go to Changqing Palace with Bengong!" She and Caixiu dressed up as Huang Wan's personal girl, hugged the cage, and quietly blended into the night.

At the entrance of the Changqing Palace, Zhao Zhenzhen opened the cage, saw the snake crawling into the Changqing Palace, then smiled and looked away, bent down and put an object on the ground, and whispered to Caixiu: "Go back! I'm afraid there will be one tomorrow. Good news."

Maybe it was because the charcoal fire was too hot, Hu Qing was too dry to sleep until midnight, so Huan'er asked Huan'er to open the outside door and window a little.Not long after, she woke up from a light sleep, her throat was so dry that she called for Huan'er to pour water.The charcoal fire still can't burn too much.After drinking water, he had to go to the toilet again, after tossing for a while, he finally lifted the quilt.Just as she was about to lie down, she saw a green snake coiled at the end of the bed. She screamed and nearly passed out.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Huan'er exclaimed in surprise, frightened the snake, thinking that someone was going to attack it, and swam towards Hu Qingqing.

Although Hu Qingqing's body was heavy, he jumped onto the bed very quickly, "Huan'er, hurry up! Quickly! Drive him away! Ahhhh! Help!"

Hu Qingqing turned pale, seeing the snake was about to exit, Huan'er pulled the pillow on the bed and threw it at the snake, then pulled Hu Qingqing and ran out of Changqing Palace, shouting all the way: "Help! Come on!" ah!"

Immediately, the imperial guards arrived and entered the room one after another, looking for the snake.

When Zhao Xun rushed over, the snake had already been beaten to death.He frowned and said, "Huan'er! Why did this snake appear in the palace?"

Huan'er was shocked, "This, this, I don't know about this. The lady slept until midnight and felt hot, so she ordered the servant to open the doors and windows. I think this snake came in at that time."

Zhao Xun winked at the left and right, and everyone was about to retreat with the snake in hand, when Hu Qingqing suddenly shouted, "Slow down!"

Zhao Xun was surprised. Seeing her panting and barefoot, he persuaded: "Empress Yifei, the snake has been beaten to death. It's freezing outside, you'd better go back inside!"

Just now she was worried and scared, but now she remembered being wronged, and suddenly burst into tears, "I want to see the emperor! Someone must kill me! How can there be snakes in such a cold day! General Zhao, do you think so?"

To be honest, Zhao Xun was also surprised.There should be no snakes in this year's weather.It is very likely that it was deliberately awakened and placed in Hu Qingqing's room.

It was midnight at this time, and the emperor had already fallen asleep.After all, it is not something particularly important and imminent, how can it alarm the emperor?He was about to speak, but he heard Hu Qingqing say: "This is not a trivial matter! If Bengong was not thirsty in the middle of the night and asked Huan'er to pour a glass of water, maybe... maybe the body on the ground at this moment is Bengong's body! General Zhao, I am pregnant with a dragon son, and there are so many concubines in the harem, who can guarantee that no one will be jealous?"

Zhao Xun was in a dilemma.

Hu Qingqing was crying non-stop.

Zhao Xun broke his heart, "Your Majesty, don't cry, the general will report to the emperor. Your Majesty should go to the palace and wait! The Imperial Forest Army is waiting outside the door. If you need anything, just call!"

Hu Qingqing just entered the palace.

Zhao Xun ordered: "You guys, keep your eyes open, and don't let anything come in."

How could Lin Rongchen be in the Hall of Supreme Harmony right now?

Zhao Xun yelled twice outside, and Zhou Gong opened the door, "General Zhao is looking for the emperor at this time, is there something important?"

Zhao Xun briefly described what happened in Changqing Palace.

Duke Zhou closed the gate of the palace, glanced at Zhao Xun, "The emperor is not in the palace."

"The emperor is not in the palace? Could it be that he is still approving papers in the imperial study?"

Eunuch Zhou raised his hand and pouted in the direction of the secret room.

Zhao Xun: "..." Could it be... at Yan Xi's place?

Eunuch Zhou nodded. "General Zhao, go find the emperor yourself!"

"This..." Zhao Xun was naturally unwilling.If he went to Hehuan Hall like this, if he saw something he shouldn't see, would Lin Rongchen kill him to silence him?Zhao Xun shivered, "How about, father-in-law go with me?"

Eunuch Zhou took two steps back and yawned, "When you are old, you will get sleepy if you haven't slept well. General Zhao, this old servant is going to rest first, you can do what you want."

Zhao Xun: "..."

If she doesn't find the emperor, Concubine Yi will not give up. When she finds the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Lin Rongchen will not kill him, so Zhao Xun closes his eyes and pushes the door open.

The moment the door was opened, Lin Rongchen sat up, held his breath, heard the footsteps getting closer, and pressed Yan Xi into his arms - he thought it was an assassin.

Zhao Xun stood a zhang away, through the curtain, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty?"

Lin Rongchen breathed a sigh of relief and was very displeased, "What are you doing here?"

Zhao Xun also heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't hear any strange sounds. "A snake was found in Concubine Yi's palace. She was making a fuss and refused to sleep. She insisted on seeing the emperor. She insisted that someone wanted to harm the dragon son. Would the emperor go and have a look? I am afraid that if she comes to Taihe The palace... soothed her and came to report."

"Snake?" Before Lin Rongchen could answer, a voice came from behind, "The emperor should go and have a look! After all, she is your flesh and blood and your concubine."

So sour!Zhao Xun smashed his mouth outside the curtain!Anyway, since he's standing here alone, don't they know how to avoid it?At this time, shouldn't Yan Xi pretend not to exist?

Lin Rongchen didn't care whether Yan Xi could see it or not, he turned his head and explained very seriously: "That's not my child, and it's not like you don't know it!"

Yan Xi yawned, "Oh? I really don't know! Not many people in this palace know about it, right?"

"..." Lin Rongchen was helpless, "I'll go and have a look, I'll be back later."

"The emperor doesn't need to come back, I don't want to be woken up." Yan Xi wrapped the quilt and gave Lin Rongchen his back.

Lin Rongchen: "..."

Zhao Xun said in his heart: "Presumptuous! This is simply arrogance! Outrageous!"

Lin Rongchen got dressed, walked to the bed, opened his mouth, shook his head again, and followed Zhao Xun away.

When Yan Xi heard him approaching the bed, her heart thumped wildly. She was waiting for his words, but the sound of footsteps went far away.

Feeling lost in his heart, he sighed.Opening his eyes and looking at the pitch-black roof, he couldn't fall asleep.

This time, can you come back?Then Hu Qingqing can't take the opportunity to entangle people to death?
