Song Chen had just changed his clothes and was waiting for Chu Xue in the inner hall, but he saw Yanling coming over with a solemn expression, still holding the filial piety clothes that Chu Xue had just changed in his hand.

"Please ask the emperor to be the master of the master!" Yan Ling knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

It was rare to see Yanling like this, Song Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yan Ling raised her head and shed tears before speaking, "Your Majesty, just now the fire in the Sheng'an Palace, the master could have escaped quickly, but the master saw that the little county lord of Huaiwang's mansion was also trapped, so he ordered the slave maid to save the county lord first, but who expected that the master's kindness was not rewarded, Mrs. Xia, she ......"

Yan Ling's voice was choked, extremely excited, and Song Chen's face was gloomy, "Go on." ”

Mrs. Xia actually hid in the hall, blocking the master's way, the master told her to run quickly, but she said that she deliberately stayed and waited for the master, and poured tung oil on the master. Before their master and servant left, they also tore down the curtain and set fire to deliberately block the master's way of life, the emperor, Mrs. Xia clearly wanted to put the master to death......"

While crying, he held up the filial piety clothes in his hand.

Song Chen's heart was shocked, and the attendant Liangxi hurriedly took the filial piety clothes, and as soon as he unfolded it, the smell of smoky tung oil had pierced into his nose, in fact, Song Chen had already noticed the smell just now, but the situation was chaotic, and the beauty was lost and recovered, and he didn't have time to think about it in the future, he just thought that the smell was smoked. But at this time, with the bright lights in the hall, the traces of tung oil splashing are clearly visible.

He didn't respond immediately, but asked, "You have no basis for what you say, how can I believe your words?" ”

Yan Ling had long thought that he would ask like this, so she replied unhurriedly, "These things, Mrs. Xia did in front of the county lord Wen Pei, the emperor can go and ask the little county lord, if the slave maid has half a nonsense, he is willing to never recover." ”

"I'll look it up. Rise up first, and go back to serve your master. There was no obvious affection in Song Chen's voice, and Yan Ling was ordered to retreat and go back to serve Chu Xue.

As soon as he turned his head, he summoned Xing Feng and Shi Yi and ordered them to go to the Sheng'an Temple and the Huaiwang Mansion respectively, which were on fire.

Chu Xue knew that Song Chen had ordered someone to investigate, so she comfortably took a hot bath. She didn't have any credentials before, so she could let it go once, but this time there are human and material evidence, and it's about her and the child, the other party hurts her like that, she will definitely not be soft-hearted!

After the bath came out, she also cried in Song Chen's arms for a while, seeing her crying vigorously, Song Chen was very distressed, he knew that she had indeed suffered a great grievance this time, so he had to comfort: "I understand, you have been wronged, I will definitely give you an explanation." Don't cry, there is still a child in the belly, what should I do if I cry badly? ”

At the mention of the child, she cried even more, but she was finally willing to speak, she choked up: "The concubine has no grievances with her, why is she so ruthless, not even letting go of an unborn child?" The concubine is not afraid of grievances, but she is afraid that she will not be able to keep the emperor's children, and she is afraid that she will never see the emperor again in the future......"

Song Chen was extremely sad, but he didn't know how to make her no longer sad, so he had to bow his head and kiss her tears, so that the saltiness also fell into his mouth and heart.

~~

The emperor of Yufu Palace was appeasing his beauty, and in the Huaiwang Mansion, Shi Yi had already seen the family who had just returned home.

As soon as King Huai's family landed, they saw a person catching up from behind, recognizing it as Song Chen's personal guard, King Huai didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led people to the study to talk.

Shi Yi didn't say anything else, but said that he wanted to meet the little county lord in accordance with the holy decree, and King Huai ordered someone to hug Wen Pei over.

Xiao Wen Pei was just frightened and a little scared, but fortunately, she was articulate and had her father who loved her by her side, so she was very cooperative.

King Huai asked her in a gentle tone to verify Yanling's words, and the little county lord thought for a while and said, "I saw that sister splashing that lady with something, and the thing she splashed was so stinky that it splashed on me." With that, the little finger pointed to his clothes.

King Huai took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that there were traces of tung oil on the little filial piety clothes that he had not had time to change.

Shi Yi was sure in his heart, and before he could say anything, he heard the little county lord add, "Father, I also saw that it was that sister, and the maid beside her took a candle to burn the tent." ”

King Huai and Shi Yi glanced at each other, both shocked. If the Xia family just poured tung oil on Chu Xue, and wanted to kill people because of jealousy and hatred, it is reasonable, but if even the fire is caused by her...... The hall is full of female children from various provinces, and at this time, it is a matter of importance, King Huai immediately took Wen Pei and followed Shi Yi into the palace to face the saint.

Chu Xue's love had just calmed down for a while, and he heard a rumor from the palace outside the palace that King Huai came to ask to see him, and when Xing Feng also returned from the Sheng'an Palace, Song Chen temporarily put down the beauty and returned to the Qinzheng Palace.

Xing Feng found a broken clay pot from the overheated side hall, as Yan Ling said, there were traces of tung oil in it, and Wen Pei's words were exactly the same as Yan Ling.

What's more, Wen Pei saw Su Qian set the curtain on fire.

The matter has come to this, Xia Wanyin can never stay, she only gave birth to murderous thoughts because of jealousy, not to mention the following crimes, but also disregard the lives of everyone in the palace, but this matter is related to the royal face, and tomorrow the emperor will be funeral, this is not the time for chaos, Song Chen retired from the palace, and said sincerely to King Huai: "I will except for that woman, but it is not appropriate to cause chaos at this time, and I hope that the eldest brother will focus on the overall situation and do not spread this matter." ”

Song Chen is already the new emperor, and now he is willing to lower his posture to discuss with him like this, and in any case, there is no danger tonight, just in the fire, Chu Xue is even more willing to protect Wen Pei, King Huai is a knowledgeable person, he didn't say much, only bowed down and said: "The minister is arranged by His Majesty." ”

Song Chen nodded, in this matter, he trusted this eldest brother who had always been indifferent.

Hearing that Chu Xue and the others were safe, Concubine Jing finally put her mind at ease and comforted her newly widowed mother-in-law, Xu Jinhe retired and returned to her Fengyi Palace in a sedan chair.

The heavy door of the hall closed, and Xu Jinhe clenched his fists tightly. Could it be that the slut is really auspicious, and such a fierce fire can still let her escape...... Such a great opportunity was wasted!

was angry and unwilling, and suddenly heard Qiu Gui's worried voice, "Niangniang, if today's matter is not successful, Yufu Palace will definitely complain to His Majesty, Ning Cuixuan's side, will it ......?"

"She dares!"

Xu Jinhe stopped her words sharply, and looked at her coldly, "A lowly singer, who has murderous thoughts for the sake of favor, what does this palace have to do?" The palace was not present today, and her own child was also there, even if she insisted on planting it, would the emperor believe it? ”

"Yes." Qiu Gui lowered his head.

His master has always been thoughtful, for so many years, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, when has he not been clean and neat, and when has he ever led the fire to himself?

It's her own overthinking.

~~

Ning Cui Xuan.

Xia Wanyin's heart at this moment can no longer be described as panicked.

She never imagined that Chu Xue and the three of them would be able to escape, and after she and Su Qian ran out after doing those things, the palace gate was sealed by flames, and she thought that the woman would definitely die.

But she was in front of the Sheng'an Temple just now, and she watched someone rescue her, and Song Chen still carried her to the imperial chariot......

Xia Wanyin hurriedly grabbed Su Qian's clothes and asked, "You say, will she sue the emperor?" She's going to sue the emperor, right? ”

Su Qian was already frightened, she had to deceive herself and comfort her master, "Master, even if she sues the emperor, the emperor may not believe her, there is no evidence, the emperor will not listen to her side of the ......"

Although she said this, how could she not know in her heart that the tung oil they poured on her was not the best evidence? Mo said that there is still a little county lord, even if no one sees it, the emperor will definitely believe that woman, right? Isn't he always looking at her?

Miaorui's eyes lit up, "Master, isn't there still a princess, uh no, the queen?" Let's do what she wants, she won't leave us alone, she will definitely find a way......"

Xia Wanyin sneered.

She suddenly felt that no one in this strange palace would care about her, and no one could save her.

The master and servant were at a loss, and the sudden communication outside the door was like a thunderbolt that struck away their last glimmer of hope.

"The emperor has arrived!"

The two maids shook their bodies and knelt stiffly to take over, and Xia Wanyin in front of them was already weak.

Song Chen followed Liangxi, and Xing Feng and Shi Yi consciously guarded the palace gate.

His face was expressionless, and he didn't look at the woman on the ground.

"Why did you want to hurt her?"

He didn't even let her say a word of greeting, and asked coldly.

Xia Wanyin's body trembled, he really came for that woman.

"Say!"

Seeing that she was silent, he accentuated his voice again.

"The concubine body, the concubine body has no intention of harming people, there is no harm to Mrs. Xue......" Xia Wanyin wanted to deny it, but the clumsy lie of not confessing to herself completely revealed the truth.

Seeing that the king's face was ugly, Liangxi said: "Madam, at this time, you can tell the truth, Your Majesty already knows everything." ”

"Since the emperor already knows about it, why bother to ask the concubine ......" Xia Wanyin's beautiful face was distorted by tears and fear.

She knew that there was no way to live, and she had completely given up hope.

"Who's in charge?" Song Chen still asked calmly, such a woman is not worthy of his anger.

But his calm makes people feel unprecedented coercion, as if death has come, making people forget their fear.

No one in the hall dared to speak.

After a while, Xia Wanyin laughed sadly, "Doesn't the emperor know everything?" Now that you know everything, why do you ask? ”

He obviously didn't know that this was Xu Jinhe's idea.

But it's okay if I don't know, although I can't live anymore, Xu Jinhe is still there, as long as she is here, Chu Xue will not be happy. Since she died because of this woman, she will never be allowed to have a good time.

"There is no one to master," Xia Wanyin said calmly, "Your Majesty, there is no one to master, it is the concubine who is jealous of your favor for her, so she has the intention of killing, and the concubine has long wanted to kill her!" ”

"Who's in charge?" Song Chen didn't seem to hear her words, and asked coldly.

"No one, no one!" Xia Wanyin suddenly shouted frantically, she frowned and looked at the indifferent man in front of her with tears in her eyes, "There is no one to instigate, I want to kill her myself!" Your Majesty, you've never liked me, have you? Never liked it, wasn't ......"

Song Chen turned around suddenly, ignoring the crying woman, and the moment he stepped out of the palace door, he left only two words.

"Do it."

The guards outside the palace gate lowered their heads, then turned around solemnly, entered the hall, covered the woman's mouth, and used a little force on the arm of iron.

It's just that those beautiful eyes haven't closed yet, and the moment he fell to the ground, he was still looking in the direction he left.
