Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 77 I want to see the emperor

"It's easy to find a place to live. At worst, I'll spend the night with Zhuying. If that person wants to harm me, there won't be just one snake. You must check carefully. It won't be good if you hurt anyone."

Zhu Ci's fingers tapped on the table, "As for the snakes we caught, let's raise them first. Maybe they will be of great use in the future."

Xiao Yinzi hurriedly went to do it.

Zhuying poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Zhu Ci, "Master, let's have a cup of tea first to calm down the shock. Who do you think did it, Master? It's so unnoticed. Fortunately, Master is blessed with good fortune, otherwise there would be consequences." It’s unimaginable.”

Zhu Ci was also very scared. If she had just taken a few steps forward, she might have collided with the snake and been swallowed by it.

She has always known that the concubines in the palace are all masters of palace fighting, otherwise she would not be alive today. But she was still shocked today. Someone put a venomous snake into her house, but she didn't notice it at all.

"As for people in the palace, you and Xiao Yinzi are the ones I trust the most. There are only Hong Xiu and Cui Lan. The two of them live in the same house, and it is inevitable that they will not be convinced if they get along day and night.

If it weren't for the people around me, the scope would be a bit large. Several empresses in the palace are Jiangnan women. I have some doubts about a few of them, but I am really not sure. "

"Based on my understanding of Cui Lan, she is also loyal, so it shouldn't be her. Hongxiu has been keeping to herself recently. Apart from being in the palace, she occasionally goes to the Shangshi Bureau and the imperial concubine."

Zhuying bit her lip, "And Hong Xiu's sister is still in our hands, so she shouldn't act rashly."

"So I said I'm really not sure, let's see what Xiao Yinzi finds out first." Zhu Ci felt heavy.

She still underestimated their methods of harming people. Only she could not think of it, and no one else could do it. She would have to be more careful in the future.

But this aroused her fighting spirit, and she wanted to see who would win.

After about two or three hours, the sky outside gradually dimmed, and only a bright orange color remained on the horizon.

Xiao Yinzi and his people searched the palace carefully, and found two snakes as big as bowls on the roof and the sycamore tree in the yard. Fortunately, they did not hurt anyone.

Xiao Yinzi grabbed all the snakes into a sack and threw them into the empty water tank in the woodshed, covering them with a lid. He ordered people to sprinkle realgar powder on every corner, including inside and outside the house.

Then he hurriedly entered the house and reported back to Zhu Ci, "Master, I found another snake on the roof and on the sycamore tree in the yard. I don't know if these are the only ones or if other snakes were frightened and ran away to other places. .”

"I guess it's just these three. There are too many and it's hard not to attract people's attention. That person just wanted to kill me and didn't want to cause a fuss."

Zhu Ci was glad that no one was injured by the snake. The other party never got the news that she was bitten by a snake and died of poisoning. She felt unsure, so she did not dare to act rashly for the time being.

"Have you found out where the snake came from? Did you find any clues?"

Xiao Yinzi's face looked a little ugly, "Back to my master, I found that the tiles on the roof had become loose at some point. When I picked them up, I found such a big hole inside, facing the master's bedroom."

Xiao Yinzi made a comparison. Zhu Ci took a deep breath, her hands and feet were cold, and her heart was pounding as if it would jump out of her chest the next moment.

Zhuying asked puzzledly, "But the roof is so high. How would anyone get up there without a ladder? Also, the roof is covered with tiles. Anyone who walks on it should hear noises."

"Sister Zhuying forgot, it rained heavily a few days ago." Xiao Yinzi reminded. "There are very few people walking around in the palace late at night, let alone a heavy rainy night. The sound of rain is covering the room. Even if the master heard something, he would have thought it was rain."

"I understand. You should all be careful these days and nights to prevent anyone from coming. Also, tell them that no one is allowed to spread the word about this matter. If there is even the slightest bit of news, the snakes will reward you." they."

Zhu Ci thought for a moment, and suddenly heard the noise outside, and she frowned impatiently.

"Who is crying outside and making my head hurt?"

"Master, it's Lu Yunu. Ever since she woke up, Lu Yunv knew that she had no child and the emperor didn't come to see her. She felt depressed and cursed at every turn."

Xiao Yinzi smiled sarcastically, "You are always disrespectful to the master, which is really unpleasant. I have already told the people in the Shangshi Bureau to take good care of Lu Yunv, but it may be harder for the master. ears."

Zhu Ci raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Yinzi, and sneered: "It is said that miscarriage is the most harmful to a woman's health. It seems that our Lu Yunv is different from ordinary women. She is as strong as an ox and has a loud voice like a bell. She is powerful. Very cool."

"No. The emperor is already annoyed with her, and crying and making trouble all day long will only make the emperor even more annoyed."

Zhuying mocked: "It's better to save some energy, but she brought the blame on herself. Who told her to harm her master? In the end, she shot herself in the foot. She deserved it!"

In the Chunxi Hall, the deer and zheng fluttered against the door, and their long nails scratched the water chestnuts on the wooden door, making a harsh sound.

Her originally beautiful face was tinged with blue, her eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes, and her voice was muted when she cried.

"Open the door! I want to see the emperor, open the door! You bunch of dog slaves, you always fawned over me when I was in glory, but now you turn a deaf ear to me when I'm down. Be careful if I go out in the future and ask the emperor to chop off your heads."

No one answered outside, so the palace maid Huixiang stepped forward and took Lu Zheng's hand off the door. Several of her nails had collapsed and even oozed deep red blood.

"Master, don't be like this. You have just had a miscarriage, so be careful with your health. The imperial doctor said you should not catch cold, as it will cause diseases in the future."

Since Lu Yunv was demoted and banned by the emperor, all the people who originally served in the palace were dismissed, leaving only Huixiang to serve her closely.

Even if she was unwilling in her heart, she could not disobey the emperor's order, so she could only stay, but her life was not easy.

Not to mention that the food sent by Shangshi Bureau was cold and sour, Lu Zheng's temperament changed drastically, and he beat and scolded her at every turn, which made her miserable.

"What future do I have? My child is gone. It was originally a boy. The emperor once said that if I can safely give birth to a prince for the emperor, he will make me a beauty.

But all this is gone, I can no longer have children, and the emperor will never visit me again. "

The last ray of sunset outside was extinguished, and the hall became dark.

Lu Zheng took a step back and fell to the ground. The original black and shiny long hair is still no longer full of luster. If you look closely, it seems that there are several more white hairs.
