Xu Muhua tidied himself up, wiped his face, and walked towards his bed, ready to go to sleep.

Nanny Qi and the others had already left. She usually didn't have to keep watch, except in special circumstances, and tonight was no exception.

When she walked to the bed and lifted the quilt, she was almost scared to death on the spot!

She took a deep breath and stared with wide eyes at the scorpions crawling all over the bed. The scream that was about to come out of her mouth was suppressed in her throat.

When I came to my senses, I found that my hands and feet were stiff and I couldn't move!

She admitted that she was scared!

Anyone would be horrified if they saw their bed full of scorpions!

She breathed a little quickly, took a few deep breaths, and squeezed out two words from between her teeth: "Grandpa!"

The old man crawled out from under the bed, shook off the non-existent dust on his body, then jumped directly onto the bed and raised his chubby paws. "Here, I have invited the scorpions here for you. You can discuss anything among yourselves. Some of them can understand you."

There are smart people and stupid people, and of course there are stupid animals too.

Xu Muhua pointed at the scorpion crawling on the bed and said, "Even if you invite me over, you don't have to hide in my bed or under my quilt!"

How can she sleep tonight like this? How can she sleep!

The old man said confidently: "Where else can we hide it if not here? What if someone finds us?"

Every day after Madam Qi made the bed, she would carefully check the room to see if there was anything she had missed or something unusual. If Madam Qi saw so many scorpions, it would be a disaster. The whole palace would know about it!

The key is that if they are discovered, these scorpions will definitely be killed. If they die because of it, they will also feel guilty!

"How can someone find it if you hide it well?"

"Don't worry, they are all very clean. You can continue to sleep after they leave. It won't affect you." The old man felt that this was not a problem at all.

It reminded them to take a bath and wash itself clean before coming over, so it was not dirty.

Xu Muhua took another look at her bed, then quickly looked away as if she had been pricked by a needle.

I got goosebumps!

She quickly walked aside and sat down, trying not to see it!

"You are such a good cat! But there is no need to send so many scorpions here. Just send a representative."

The old man also jumped off the bed and walked over slowly. "That's what I thought, but they said they were curious and wanted to see what kind of person could understand what they said, so they all came to see you."

Xu Muhua: So she has turned into a monkey?

After a while, several scorpions crawled over. Xu Muhua's mouth twitched. They crawled quite fast and came over in just a few seconds.

Well, scorpions are pretty scary, especially when they're all in a dense nest. But now there are only three or five of them crawling over, on the low table, so it's not that bad.

"Ahem! Hello, it's our first time meeting you."

No movement.

Xu Muhua looked at the old man.

The old man ignored her.

The old man really doesn't take her seriously anymore! He's almost climbing over her head and bullying her!

"She seems to be no different from everyone else!"

"Yes, they all have two eyes, a nose and a mouth."

"Then why can she understand what we say? Is she a monster?"

Xu Muhua had no idea how many times she had heard this kind of conversation and now she was numb to it!

After the scorpions finished chatting, one of them crawled forward and raised its two front pincers, as if to say hello to Xu Muhua.

"Hello, man. It's the first time we meet. I hope I didn't scare you just now."

Xu Muhua: You are quite nice!

"It's okay, it's okay, I know you are all good scorpions, I'm not afraid." Just seeing a bed full of scorpions makes my claustrophobia kick in.

"I heard from you that you have something you want us to help you with, right?"

Xu Muhua glanced at the old man.

How could she say that she wanted to ask them for help to see if they could poison the person sitting on the throne? Wouldn't it be bad to be so straightforward? If she was more tactful, would they understand?

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't waste time!" The old man couldn't stand her hesitation.

It's just killing a person, it's not a big deal. I don't know how many people die in this palace every day. I don't know how many people the old man ordered to be killed every day. If he can kill others, then others can naturally kill him.

Just like a cat, if it is incompetent, it will fight with other cats, lose, and be killed by other cats, which is also a normal thing. The strong prey on the weak, and the whole natural world is like this.

Xu Muhua, who was despised and procrastinated by the old man, told his plan in one breath.

Several scorpion heads leaned against each other, as if they were discussing something, but Xu Muhua couldn't hear it.

After a while, the leader took a few steps forward and said, "This isn't that difficult."

Xu Muhua blurted out: "Can you do it? Can you really poison someone to death?"

"...How about you find someone to try?"

Xu Muhua: "..."

There is no need to do so. Where can she find someone to try it? It's not a food tasting!

"If I ask you to bite someone, can you escape?"

Although there were only a few scorpions, Xu Muhua had never thought of kicking them away after using them. She even wanted to sacrifice their lives to help her. The lives of scorpions are also lives.

"Of course. Even though we are just scorpions, we still cherish our lives."

"Tell us what you want us to do. Let us listen and see if it works."

Xu Muhua was a little worried that what she said would scare them away.

Who knows? After she said that, the scorpions' reaction was very normal!

She couldn't help but ask, and the other person said: We are all human beings, there is no difference!

Well, she was thinking too much!

She lay on the low table and whispered to a few scorpions, while the old man squatted beside her like a guard.

Nanny Qi, who was about to go to bed, suddenly became worried and got up to take a look around to make sure everything was alright before going back to bed. She was still a little frightened by what happened in the East Palace today.

But when I got there, I saw that the lights in the house were still on, even though they should have been turned off!

Nanny Qi immediately walked over quickly and tried to push the door open but found that it wouldn't open. She probably had the door bolt locked!

"Empress, Empress?" Aunt Qi's heart suddenly tightened and she knocked on the door hard.

There was no movement, and Nanny Qi immediately became nervous and turned around to shout.

Xu Muhua opened the door in time, "Mammy! Don't shout! I'm fine!"

Madam Qi looked at her suspiciously and wanted to go in, but Xu Muhua stopped her, "Madam, it's getting late, why aren't you sleeping yet? I'm about to go to bed!"

"My lady, are you really okay?"

Xu Muhua yawned, "It's okay, I took off my clothes just now, and when I heard you shouting, I hurriedly put on my clothes and came to open the door."

Upon hearing this, Madam Qi started muttering, "They said we should leave someone to keep watch at night..."

"Let's talk about this later, now let's go back to sleep!"

Nanny Qi was still worried, but she was pushed away by her!

Xu Muhua also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really worried that if Madam Qi went in and saw a room full of scorpions, she would be so scared that her eyes would roll back and she would faint!
