Behind the curtain, Gu Nuo’er saw Gu Rao running out, but the door was still open.

She quickly walked out of the curtain and placed the basket on the bed. “Hurry up and come in. I’ll bring you guys with me and run!”

The little frogs jumped into the basket. There were also a few who were slow and were grabbed back by Gu Nuo’er.

In the end, the child ran to the window and called out softly, “Brother!”

Gu Zixiao, who was hiding behind the window, reached out his arm and took the child and the basket.

The window closed again. The siblings did it seamlessly and smoothly.

Gu Rao ran until her hair was in a mess and she looked flustered. She arrived at the entrance of Zhuyou Palace.

She originally wanted to ask the imperial guards to help, but she bumped into Grand Consort Yu, who had just returned from reciting the sutra.

“Ouch!”

When the two of them collided, they both fell to the ground.

The metal box in Gu Rao’s sleeve immediately fell beside Grand Consort Yu’s hand.

Grand Consort Yu rubbed her tailbone which was in pain from the fall and hissed.

She was already exhausted from chanting sutras and had even been put in a difficult position by the people Noble Consort Qiao had sent.

After finally completing all the work, she wanted to come back and rest. However, she was knocked down by someone who didn’t have eyes.

Grand Consort Yu scolded angrily, “Are you blind?!”

She took a closer look and saw that it was Gu Rao. She became even angrier.

“Raorao, have you forgotten the etiquette and manners I usually teach you?!”

Gu Rao stood up aggrievedly. “Grandmother, I… There’s something in my room.

I’m scared!”

Grand Consort Yu rolled her eyes sharply.

“What can there be? You only know how to scare yourself all day long.” Useless thing!

Grand Consort Yu thought to herself, The son she gave birth to is useless, and so is her granddaughter!

The son and granddaughter of the former Empress, Madam Chi, were each more outstanding than the other!

She gritted her teeth in hatred.

At this moment, Grand Consort Yu felt something crawling up the back of her hand.

She looked down.

It was a long-legged spider!

There were also a few others who were leaning against Grand Consort Yu’s clothes as if they were planning to climb up.

On their feet, on a closer look, there was also slightly long fur.

Grand Consort Yu immediately felt her blood run cold!

She was so frightened that she swung her hand and screamed, rolling back and forth on the ground.

Gu Rao was at a loss. “Grandmother!”

After a while, Grand Consort Yu finally shook off the spiders with great difficulty. Only then did she stand up, covered in dirt and looking ashen. The two imperial guards stood at the side and looked straight ahead.

They let Grand Consort Yu roll on the ground.

At this moment, the imperial guard lowered his head and looked at the box on the ground. He warned coldly, “Don’t hide these things on you in case you scare the important people when you take them out. We’ll only allow this once. There won’t be a next time. Otherwise, you’ll definitely be severely punished!”

Grand Consort Yu followed their voices and saw that there seemed to be a dead spider in the box.

She glared at Gu Rao. “This is yours?!”

Gu Rao looked embarrassed. “Grandmother, this… Let me explain.”

Grand Consort Yu pointed angrily at the door. “Go in! If you don’t explain yourself clearly, I’m not your grandmother!”

Her hairstyle was askew as she walked into the courtyard angrily.

Gu Rao followed behind dejectedly.

The spiders didn’t harm Gu Nuo’er. Instead, she was scolded by Grand Consort

At the same time, Gu Zixiao and Gu Nuo’er were already walking on the palace path with their backs facing the Zhuyou Palace.

The little frogs in the basket croaked happily.

Gu Nuo’er also narrowed her eyes and smiled. Her big eyes were curved as if they had been dyed with stars.

She covered her mouth with her small hand and smiled like a silver bell, filled with childishness.

“Let’s see if Gu Rao still dares to do bad things in the future!”
