The virtuous concubine was stunned. She had it since birth and had been fed with her blood for decades. It was extremely poisonous. It was no exaggeration to say that it could kill people instantly if it came into contact with blood.
Why isn't the baby afraid?
Why was the centipede so well behaved in her hand? Why didn't it move at all?
Could it be that she also knows how to control Gu? Or does she have the Gu King in her body?
The virtuous concubine didn't believe it. She turned around and winked at her lover, who understood immediately and made a strange sound.
In an instant, several poisonous snakes, all of which were extremely venomous, fell from the beams of the imperial study and crashed onto the desk.
Some fell to the ground.
The emperor, the old duke, eunuch Yuanbao and the guards were all stunned.
Only Chu Xiaoxiao was very happy to see the poisonous snakes. She crawled towards them with a giggle.
The poisonous snakes huddled on the ground, trembling. The pressure from the milk ball was so terrifying that they dared not move at all.
[Ahaha! What a coincidence! They sent so many poisonous things here. From now on, my fathers and uncles will have medicinal wine to drink to dispel wind and relieve pain.]
The emperor saw Chu Xiaoxiao crawling away and was worried that the centipede she threw away would bite him. But when he glanced at her from the side, he saw the centipede lying on the table with its belly turned up, revealing many legs, as if it was dead.
Eunuch Yuanbao walked over quickly and used the whisk in his hand to brush the centipede to the ground.
The virtuous concubine and her lover kept making many strange noises from their mouths, but the snake and the centipede did not react at all.
Snakes: “…”
Master! You killed us. Don't you know there is a little fairy here? You summoned us to die?
Centipede: “…”
There's no hope. His whole body is broken and he can't even crawl. It's no use even if you summon him.
Naituanzi grabbed the snakes one by one in her hands and looked at them left and right, as if what she was holding were not real poisonous snakes but toys.
The old Duke was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he kept shouting, "Xiaoxiao! Don't touch those snakes, they are all poisonous."
[Don't be afraid, Grandfather! They don't dare to bite me. Find me a cloth bag, put them in it and take them back.]
The emperor was very thoughtful and personally took out a yellow cloth bag and handed it to Chu Xiaoxiao.
Milk ball was so happy that he smiled at him.
[Your Majesty is so kind. For your performance today, you will follow me from now on! I also begged for the eight million taels of silver as compensation! ]
The emperor's face froze, and he nodded in his heart, "Okay, okay, I will follow you from now on. If you were not here today, I would have been bitten by a centipede. You have saved me, I wonder what reward you want."
After being slapped, the Fifth Princess saw Chu Xiaoxiao sitting among several snakes. She was very angry. The bamboo green snake she was holding in her hand was the one her mother had prepared for her as a pet.
I've seen it in the flower room in my mother's palace before. It has a lump of flesh on its tail, which is very special.
That was hers and couldn't be taken away by this nasty little kid.
The Fifth Princess ignored the pain on her face, ran to Chu Xiaoxiao, and reached out to snatch the Bamboo Leaf Green from her hand.
"This is mine, you can't take it."
The virtuous concubine and his lover simultaneously exclaimed to the fifth princess: "No."
Before the fifth princess could react, the bamboo green snake bit her hand.
"ah!"
She felt pain and threw the bamboo leaf green snake to the ground. Chu Xiaoxiao looked at it but had no reaction.
[Alas! She sought death herself, and even the King of Hell could not save her. The parents summoned a poisonous snake to kill their own daughter, a doom that could not be undone.]
The fifth princess was bitten by a poisonous snake and the poison took effect in a few minutes. Concubine Xian and her lover watched their daughter's life slip away bit by bit in front of them.
As Chu Xiaoxiao crawled, she picked up the poisonous snakes and put them into a cloth bag, including the murderous bamboo green snake and the centipede whose bones were broken by her.
After picking up the items, he said "Ah" to the old Duke and pointed at the opening of the bag.
The old Duke understood that his granddaughter wanted him to tie the bag tightly.
The emperor also understood it, so he found a yellow cloth strip and started tying it himself.
After that, the emperor asked eunuch Yuanbao to fetch water for Chu Xiaoxiao to wash her hands, and then ordered his men to drag away the virtuous concubine, her lover, and the small box for interrogation.
Eunuch Yuanbao was stunned on the spot. From the emperor's expression, he knew that his apprentice was involved with Concubine Xian a long time ago, but he was like a dead man and knew nothing.
Just as he was about to kneel down to show his loyalty, the emperor raised his hand and sent him away: "Open my private treasury and pick out some exquisite and fun gold toys."
"As you wish!"
Raising his hand to wipe away his tears, Eunuch Yuanbao walked away quickly, flopping his chubby legs.
The old Duke took out eight million taels of silver from his arms and placed them on the emperor's desk.
"This is all the compensation money my daughter has. It's all here."
The emperor looked at the stack of banknotes, then looked at the baby holding the imperial seal and studying it, and felt very relieved.
"The Duke of Huguo's Mansion is devoted to the country, and I will always remember this in my heart. Today's situation was very dangerous, and it was all thanks to Xiaoxiao who saved me."
The old Duke waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you are too serious. Protecting the royal orthodoxy is the Chu family's unshirkable destiny."
Chu Xiaoxiao complained on the side.
[If they are not orthodox, the Chu family will not be tolerated. When Prince Duan succeeded in usurping the throne, the first thing he did was to kill the Chu family. No matter whether they were men or women, old or young, everyone in the Chu family was beheaded.]
The emperor was shocked when he heard this. Prince Duan was so despicable that he actually executed the entire family of the Duke of Huguo.
[However, he did not end up well either. He was killed by the heroine within a few years. The heroine was the winner in the end. She became the queen of Dongsheng Kingdom. ]
The emperor clenched his hands, the heroine must not be kept, she must be killed.
If she wants to be the empress of Dongsheng, not only will there be no doors or windows, not even a dog hole will be left for her.
Eunuch Yuanbao brought several children's toys made of gold, all of which were newly made by the Imperial Manufacturing Department according to the emperor's instructions.
A golden windmill, a golden apple, a golden cicada, and a golden bowl.
When Chu Xiaoxiao saw them, she smiled happily and was satisfied with all the toys.
[Aha! Today is a good day. I came to the palace and got a bag of poisonous snakes and a lot of gold. I have to keep it well. When I feel bad, I will take it out and look at it. I guarantee it will heal my wounded heart.]
emperor:"......"
Don't worry! If anyone dares to hurt you, I will be the first one to not let him go.
Old Duke: "......"
As long as your grandfather is around, no one can hurt you, not even the emperor.
The grandfather and grandson completed their mission and returned with a bag of poisonous insects, snakes and gold items.
When Eunuch Yuanbao saw that the people had left, he immediately knelt down and apologized. The emperor sat behind the desk with lingering fear and waved at him.
"Don't adopt random godsons in the future, or you'll be taken advantage of."
Eunuch Yuanbao replied with tears in his eyes: "Yes! I'll remember it."
"You and I grew up together, I know your temper." The emperor looked at the chubby man on the ground, "You are confused about small things, but you will never act recklessly on major issues. Remember my words, be a good person, and be careful in what you say and do."
Eunuch Yuanbao was so moved that tears streamed down his cheeks: "Remember, I will obey your orders in the future."
