Nanqi is full of talented people, each of them has great abilities. First, they put a curse on Minglang, and then they took some of his pets as their favorites.

It seems that the Queen Mother does not intend to leave anyone alive.

After this incident, Qi Sili became much more stable and no longer showed his possessiveness in front of Qi Siriao as before. The remaining two young men were detained in the Ministry of Punishment, and Qi Sili did not castrate them.

The Queen Mother continued to chant in the morning, wander around in the afternoon, and restrain herself at night, not daring to look for concubines or lovers. However, she went out more often recently, and secretly asked the nanny to buy a lot of delicious food and hide it in the cabinet of the Buddhist hall.

The weather has been hot and humid for the past two days, and a storm is coming. The Queen Mother often cannot eat, and cannot sleep well at night, and has lost a lot of energy.

Hu Luanfei was there to take care of her, serving her tea and water, massaging her shoulders and back. Occasionally, the nanny would even ask her to go to the laundry to do the laundry...

How could this old woman be so unreasonable!

Hu Luanfei rolled up his sleeves and rubbed the empress dowager's brocade robe in anger. When he touched the soapberry, it was gone!

She had no choice but to go to the Imperial Household Department to get a few pieces, but the eunuchs there were too bad and insisted that people from the Cining Palace be present in person to get them. She had no choice but to run back to the Cining Palace in anger...

"Hey, let me tell you something."

"What's the matter, Sister Chunju?"

"Just recently, have you noticed a lot of black bugs near the Cining Palace?"

"No, I seldom go there. But I heard from my mother that there are two aunts in the Cining Palace who like to raise insects. Those insects are very dangerous. They will eat up the internal organs after drilling into the human body. If a person gets excited, the insects will explode and kill the person directly."

Chunju was shocked: "We must not offend those two aunts, it's terrible."

The little girl smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. Auntie said that the bug is used to control disobedient men. Many noble ladies outside the palace buy bugs from auntie to make their men obedient. I don't know if it's true or not."

Wow, I heard it right. I can hear important clues while walking. Where are those two girls from?

Hu Luanfei followed them quietly and found that they were from the flower room. The Buddhist hall of the Cining Palace needed to be replaced with fresh flowers every day. The maid named Chunju often went to the Cining Palace and naturally knew that there were insects everywhere nearby.

But...are the bugs raised by those two maids really that powerful?

After eating the internal organs, the man exploded in excitement. It felt like the two young men who died with bleeding from all seven orifices. However, they should have been killed because they wanted to tell the truth. It's really strange, can insects distinguish right from wrong?

"Princess!"

"Ah!" Hu Luanfei jumped up with a start, and his head hit a bent branch, and stars suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Madame Wang, are you sick?" The angry roar of the Hedong Lion instantly resounded through the sky, and everyone in the greenhouse subconsciously looked in their direction.

The originally busy and busy path in the greenhouse was cleared into a straight passage from the main gate to the courtyard. There was no sound in the huge greenhouse. The palace maids and eunuchs watched with great interest as the princess, whose face was red with anger, rubbed her head and angrily scolded Nanny Wang, "You ghost, you walk so lightly without making any sound."

Nanny Wang answered the question irrelevantly: "Why did your Majesty come to the flower room instead of washing clothes in the laundry room?"

"Why don't you serve the Queen Mother properly and come to the flower room to slack off?"

The greenhouse is busier and more lively today than usual.

"I came to the flower room to get some lilies on the orders of the Queen Mother. What about you?"

Hu Luanfei found an excuse casually, "I want to find some fresh flowers to soak with the clothes. Without fumigation, the clothes will have a light floral scent."

"Really?" Nanny Wang glanced at Hu Luanfei casually with her shrewd eyes, and then reached out her hand...

"What are you doing? Let's talk it out nicely. I am not someone who can be bullied." Hu Luanfei waved away Nanny Wang, only to see a centipede the size of a little finger appear in Nanny Wang's hand.

Hu Luanfei screamed and jumped far away: "I have no grudge against you, why did you cast a curse on me?"

"Poison?" Nanny Wang stared at the centipede in her hand, the sneer on her face becoming more and more intense. "Your Majesty, you think too highly of me. Look at the tree behind you just now, what's on it?"

Hu Luanfei looked closely and saw dense black caterpillars gathered in a pile, with a few centipedes crawling up and down. At that moment, the hairs on his body stood up and his skin actually itched...

"Seeing is believing. In my lifetime, I can still see someone's hair stand up because of being frightened." Nanny Wang dealt with the centipede privately and chuckled again: "Princess, don't worry, the bug will crawl into your ears."

"Oh my god, my whole body is itchy." Hu Luanfei scratched, and his fair skin turned red in large patches, and many small rashes appeared.

Nanny Wang walked around and left the shade of the tree, went to the flower room to get the lilies, and on the way back, she looked up at the sky and walked slowly towards Hu Luanfei, exuding a leisurely aura, as if she was in a different world from the little maids who were hurriedly and absent-mindedly bowing to her. "Princess, it's getting late. After washing your clothes, remember to come back and make some light soup for the Queen Mother."

When passing the backyard, a loud roar made Nanny Wang stop.

"I don't have any more soap nuts. The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that someone from the Cining Palace needs to go and get them."

Nanny Wang's calm eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, and she stared at Hu Luanfei thoughtfully, "Everyone in the palace knows that the princess is in the Cining Palace to take care of the sick. Which servant asked for this?"

"A father-in-law with a hairy mole on the bridge of his nose."

"Oh, that's someone from the imperial court. You asked the wrong person for something."

Hu Luanfei: ...

When she returned to the Imperial Household Department to get the soap beans, as luck would have it, Qi Sili happened to be out.

Since Qi Siriao was not there, Hu Luanfei did not dare to walk forward openly. After seeing the figure, he immediately turned around.

Qi Sili was waiting for her on this road.

As she appeared, the eunuch nearby shouted loudly: "Summon Princess Zhan to see you—"

Hu Luanfei paused, his face gloomy immediately, he bit his lip, his eyes sharp: Who the hell wants to see him, the mother and son are a pair of snakes and rats, they just pick on her, the weak one, right?

She was so angry that she almost tore the handkerchief into pieces.

"Princess Zhan, why don't you come over and pay your respects?" The one who spoke was the eunuch with the hairy mole on the bridge of his nose. Hu Luanfei recognized him. It was he who teased her in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and caused her to waste most of the day.

It was getting late and she was in a hurry to go back and make soup for the Queen Mother. She hadn't even washed her clothes yet. The thought of doing so made her feel overwhelmed.

She gritted her teeth, turned around, and saluted the person sitting in the sedan chair.

Qi Sili's gaze fell at the same time. He got off the sedan chair and asked everyone to leave.

This long street is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

Hu Luanfei had small rashes all over his body, which made him itchy. He kept scratching himself with his hands.

His eyes lingered on her exposed skin. Seeing the red spots on the back of her hands, cheeks, and even around her neck, he asked with concern, "Where did you get the rash? Have you seen a doctor?"

She hastily pulled down her sleeves and said in a distant tone, "I just went to the greenhouse and accidentally touched a caterpillar on the root of a tree. Now I'm thinking of going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some soap nuts to wipe it off."
