When Zhou Baolu saw the flame, he first subconsciously took a step back, and then heard the maid waiting in this room screaming loudly: "Go water, go water, come quickly...... Someone is here to put out the fire......"

This scream, suddenly the room 'boom' became lively, as if everyone was lit, everyone looked over there, and sure enough, they saw that the curtain behind the concubine was burned by the flames, the curtain was gauze, very thin, and the tongue of fire licked it, and it was immediately rolled up.

This house is full of women, no men, it is even more frightened, some people screamed, some young and timid people have cried, everyone is desperate to run outside, usually brought into the palace are the maids who have to be used around them, most of them know the Tao to protect the master, although they are afraid, or tightly pull the master to go outside, but these women, not to mention the pampering on weekdays, this dress is also long and big, where to run, slightly stepped on by someone, more and more staggered and screamed, just shouting indiscriminately, chaotic.

Zhou Baolu saw that although the scene was not too chaotic, because of the Lantern Festival banquet in this Zhaode Palace, it was naturally carefully decorated, with a large number of gauze curtains and silk felt mats, and the walls on the ground and the air were all the easiest things to light.

Seeing that Zhou Baolu was still standing still, Cherry was in a hurry, and pulled Zhou Baolu to send it out, Zhou Baolu hurriedly said: "Don't leave the eldest princess!" ”

At this time, although they are all sisters, the first thing Zhou Baolu thinks of is the eldest princess.

Grandmother couldn't stay away, and Zhou Baolu remembered that her grandmother was older, she came late, and she was still talking to people by the door, and she hadn't had time to talk to her grandmother yet.

The eunuchs and guards outside all gathered over, shouting louder, Zhou Baolu's face was hot, and he couldn't care about anyone, but he saw the ordinary maid next to the eldest princess, holding the eldest princess with one hand and the second princess with the other.

Zhang Degui, the eunuch in charge of the Zhaode Palace, commanded the eunuch guards to fight the fire and save people with a sweaty face: "Hurry up, go up!" What rubbing...... Lao Tzu turned around and peeled off your skin! ”

Zhou Baolu saw that the noble ladies who had run out were frightened one by one, and they were still gathered in the courtyard to discuss, she hurriedly pulled Zhang Degui by the hand: "It is important to save people, several ladies are on the steps inside, the farthest away from the front door, and they are the ones who caught fire in front of them, so they asked someone to save them from the back door!" ”

Zhang Degui nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, a few of you, go around the back door, wet your whole body and wear wet mattresses, go in to save a few mothers!" ”

Zhou Baolu went over again and said: "Mademoiselles are frightened, this is going to be like this, we are just in the way here, ladies, please move over there and sit down." ”

Seeing Jing and the eldest princess inside, Zhou Baolu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Grandmother is frightened?" I've never seen anything like this before, so my grandmother went to my room and sat down. ”

Zhou Baolu separated Zhu Tang and said: "It's chaotic here, there must be a way to know it, it's close to the East Palace, you accompany the eldest princess, lead these ladies to the East Palace, and then ask Concubine Wu to come out to accompany you, freshen up and settle down." ”

Enough cherries around.

Zhou Baolu was heartbroken, and instructed the eldest princess two words, she stood on the side, and gave Dao'er to the eunuch guards who put out the fire, this Zhaode Hall is a big hall, there is no well in front and back, so you can only lift water to the side, the nearest well is more than 20 zhang away, and it is really useless to save the fire.

Now I can only watch the house burn down, and it only matters if the people inside are rescued.

Zhang Degui came over and replied: "This time I am busy fighting fires, people are anxious, and I can't take care of it, so I might as well go back to the East Palace to rest for the time being, and then go back to talk back to Niangniang." ”

Zhang Degui commanded the firefighting, and his throat was broken, hoarse and difficult, Zhou Baolu said: "Okay, I'm also in the way here, but I can't rest assured that there are a few ladies inside, and nothing can go wrong." ”

Just as he was about to leave, a little eunuch rushed over and replied, "Grandpa Zhang, several mothers have been rescued from behind." A few of the maids in it were dragged out after being stunted, and there was no one left. ”

Zhou Baolu hurriedly asked: "The concubine is good." What about the others? ”

She was pregnant.

The little eunuch found out that it was the crown princess who was talking to Zhang Degui, and he hurriedly replied in fright: "If you go back to the mother, the concubine is fine, but she was frightened and has already gone back to Zhengming Palace to rest, but Concubine Ning injured her hand, and the princess is being passed on!" ”

Zhou Baolu nodded, since everyone was rescued, there was no catastrophe after all.

Zhang Degui also breathed a sigh of relief, although he said that he couldn't get rid of such a big event, but the masters didn't have an accident, which was already a great luck.

Zhou Baolu went back to the East Palace.

The Zhaode Hall was completely extinguished until the evening, and the grand and spacious hall burned most of it, and occasionally you can see the green smoke curling up.

Zhou Baolu was tired enough this day, and the lights at night were also in the soup, and it was really bad luck for the Lantern Festival night palace to make such a fuss.

Sakura was active everywhere and came back after inquiring about the news, Zhou Baolu leaned on the kang and listened with half-closed eyes: "I heard that the fire was put out at that time, Concubine Ning Niangniang desperately protected the concubine Niangniang, and the fire burned the sleeves and burned a large piece of the arm, if it weren't for Concubine Ning's maid's loyalty, she used her body to suppress the fire, Concubine Ning was afraid that it would be over." ”

"What's the fire, is anyone in the palace talking about it?"

Sakura said: "There are a lot of things to say, but they don't sound very similar, some say that the candle is down, and some say that it is the spark that flew out of the road somewhere, but no matter who says it, it is the flame of the brazier in front of the concubine, which is seen in all." ”

Zhou Baolu frowned: "There are so many people in the Zhaode Hall today, why are they still holding the brazier?" It's just that the concubine is afraid of the cold, so it's just a matter of holding a hand stove. ”

Of course, the brazier in the palace, although it is a basin, is actually like a stove, a large brass basin, which burns silver frost charcoal, and a brass lid is added to it, which is half an inch high, so as not to occasionally burn people with charcoal explosions.

This kind of brazier bursts out of the flames, which is a bit unusual.

Sakura said: "The concubine Niangniang originally hugged a hand stove, but Concubine Xi Niangniang sat in front of her, and saw that the concubine Niangniang's face was not very good, and said that this Zhaode Hall was large, colder than other places, and the concubine Niangniang had a body, and she should be more precious, so she sent the maid who was waiting in the palace to get a brazier, and asked her to put it in the left corner of the concubine Niangniang, on the horizontal and vertical steps, and there were few people walking. ”

Zhou Baolu pondered for a moment: "Did anyone say that when the flames were rising, someone was in front of the brazier?" ”

"Nope!" Sakura thought for a moment, "They all said there was no one in front of them." But one of the maids was closer, and she said that before the flames went up, she seemed to hear the sound of firecrackers next to her. But I can't say, there are so many people in the Zhaode Palace, so lively, she can't be sure,"

It's kind of weird.

Zhou Baolu always felt that this matter was a bit strange, she really couldn't believe that such a brazier could burst out of flames, and who put the brazier next to the curtain?

Is this intentional or unintentional?

In the palace, the missing eyes die quickly, and it is not easy to find.

Zhou Baolu pondered for a while, thinking back to the surrounding situation when the fire was burning, the concubine was in the main position, Wei Wen's was talking on the left, and Concubine Ning was sitting on the right.

Right! I took a look at it at the time, and thought to myself, the concubine really spared no effort to bring her mother's family, and on such an occasion, calling Wei Wen's side to talk, even the first-class concubine in the palace had to give up a step.

Thinking of the position distance, Zhou Baolu had a general outline in his heart, assuming that the fire in the brazier was destined to explode, and everyone panicked, then the distance Wei Wen's stand, if someone pushed him hard, he could hit the concubine and knock the concubine to the ground, so that if the concubine couldn't keep the fetus in her womb, Wei Wen's would be finished, and even if she was saved, Wei Wen's would be reprimanded, lose face, and lose the concubine's favor.

So, this matter is aimed at Wei Guifei and Wei Wen's family?

Zhou Baolu thought about it for a while, according to her intelligence and analysis, it is certain that Concubine Xi hates Wei Guifei and Wei Wen's now, but Concubine Xi, Zhou Baolu has analyzed, and the private means behind her are a set, but it is not her style to do it in person, and this time's actions don't look like her style.

Although the analysis of the situation at that time pointed to Concubine Xi, Zhou Baolu was still quite puzzled.

There was such an important event in the harem, the emperor first went to visit the concubine and Concubine Ning, the concubine was fine, but she was frightened, and she was slightly moved.

On the contrary, Concubine Ning was seriously injured, and her right arm was burned a large piece, which had been covered with burn ointment and wrapped up.

Hearing that the emperor came to see her, Concubine Ning hurriedly greeted her, because she was injured and treated, wearing a light-colored dress with wide robes and large sleeves, no fat powder, only loose hair on her head, and only a white hosta with a smooth body, which looked extraordinarily beautiful.

Concubine Ning bowed down and was very grateful: "The concubine was only a little injured, but she actually visited Her Majesty in person, and the concubine was terrified." ”

The emperor personally helped her up and said, "Does the injury still hurt?" I had already read the pulse case, and told the imperial doctor to think about it and not to leave a scar. ”

Concubine Ning invited the emperor to sit down and offer tea, and then said: "Although the concubine is not afraid of leaving a scar, she is afraid that she will no longer be able to serve the emperor." ”

The rules in the palace, if you have a scar, it will be difficult to sleep, the brand will be taken down, and only the emperor can choose her to serve. But there are so many beauties in the palace, when will the emperor think of you?

The emperor smiled and said: "Don't worry, you are injured to protect the concubine, and I will not wronged you." ”

Concubine Ning said earnestly: "The concubine Niangniang has a dragon in her belly, and the concubine is just on the side, seeing that the concubine Niangniang is in danger, she naturally has to reach out to protect it. ”

The emperor nodded lightly: "You are sensible, how can a woman not be jealous, but you know how to be measured, it is very good, today you can protect the concubine, it can be seen that you are loyal, your family has followed the grandfather since the ancestors, there is loyalty, and it is also good for your parents to teach." ”

Concubine Ning hurriedly stood up: "The concubine didn't dare to be the emperor's praise, and she was ashamed to say it, just at this moment, the concubine thought of the concubine, and the sour feeling in her heart couldn't be suppressed!" ”

The emperor smiled and said: "Dare to admit in front of me, it can be seen that you are a bold man, I like your temperament, speaking of which, your brother is also twenty years old, and I also saw him in the list recommended by the Ministry of Officials, I originally thought that he was young, and then take a look, but now it seems that your family is loyal, and will teach your children, you are like this, your brother is naturally not bad, tomorrow I will call him to go to the Yushitai to experience the experience!" ”

This is the reward for meritorious deeds.

Concubine Ning was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed: "Concubine Xie Emperor Longen, concubine dare not say anything else, the loyalty of the younger brother must not be bad." ”

After the emperor left, Concubine Ning leaned on the big pillow leisurely and breathed a sigh of relief.

The big girl who was brought into the palace from home by the side waited for the fan to smile and went up to Fu Yifu: "Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang, the second young master has an unlimited future in the future." ”

Concubine Ning nodded, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "The second brother is an honest man, my father went early, and my mother didn't have that thought, I worked hard in the palace, wasn't it for the family?" The sixth master is still young, the second brother wants to count on him, and he can't count on him for ten years, this will be regarded as God's favor, that fool made a fire, and gave me a chance to show my loyalty. ”

Concubine Ning did not hide what she was doing, and she knew the beginning and end of this matter today, so she didn't dare to say more, so she smiled and said: "Although the second young master is not good at drilling, he has a clear and upright temperament, and in the end he is also the son of the uncle's mansion, the emperor is a Ming Jun, there is nothing that cannot be seen, it is nothing more than waiting for two more years, and it will naturally be fine." ”

"Silly boy, what do you know, most of the people standing in the court are the descendants of the noble and high-ranking officials, but the descendants of the noble and high-ranking officials are not standing there, right?" Concubine Ning said: "There are more people with hard brand backgrounds and skills, the emperor just looks at it, and how much can he see?" Don't you have to earn yourself into the eyes of the emperor? As you said, the second brother has a strong temperament, so it is appropriate to go to the Imperial Historical Observatory, Your Majesty...... It's the most holy. ”

Some words, that is, to the most trusted and relied on the fan, Concubine Ning did not dare to say, the emperor's attitude towards the harem, Concubine Ning saw it in her eyes, and she also pondered it for many years, she felt that she had a little experience.

The emperor doesn't like smart concubines, but smart concubines are the safest.

Just like what she said just now, the emperor is the most holy person, the little battle in the harem, the emperor actually sees it in his eyes, whether it is to compete for favor or to win the heir, if you think you are smart, you want to do some tricks in front of the emperor, if it is a small thing, it is just a big thing, and the big thing is to find death.

is like Concubine Xi, she is too clever to be self-conscious.

Now the two major forces in the harem are obviously the crown princess and the concubine, she has not lost the emperor's favor at all, but has never had the emperor's favor, but she is not convinced, she has to provoke, and even has a dream of winning the heir, Concubine Ning feels that it is really not a big deal to step on her.

The deep palace is boring, Concubine Ning naturally ponders these things, Concubine Xi is the crown princess, thinking that she is unpredictable and hides from the world, judging from the disposition of the Han family that day, the saint must know it, and he knows that the Han family is the culprit, so the Han family can't raise his head.

It is obvious that the heavier punishment is to protect the prince.

The saint has always been a ruthless and unrighteous person to the harem, but he will protect his children.

Looking at the example of Concubine Qing and the second prince, it is also very clear.

Concubine Ning thought like this, so she said today, she showed that she didn't like the concubine, dispelled the emperor's suspicion of the harem faction, and then showed that she protected the concubine purely for the emperor's heirs.

Judging by the results, the emperor was satisfied.

Concubine Ning felt that she had touched a little vein.

The emperor loves his children, he is not afraid that the sixth master has no future, the emperor hates the harem the most, meddling in the heirs, and murdering the heirs, and other fights are fine, so he not only wants to stay away from the concubine, but also away from the princess, and he has neither the emperor's favor nor the powerful maiden family, just stay quietly in his palace, although it is not a first-class concubine, but he has a prince, and there is no villain who dares to look down on it.

And...... Concubine Xi's first-class concubine position is about to be vacated.

Concubine Ning closed her eyes, and when she thought she was sleepy and wanted to sleep, she didn't dare to disturb, so she walked out of the hall lightly. Concubine Ning thought, her heart is hardening day by day.

The emperor soon got the accident investigation report on the fire in the Zhaode Hall today, there are witnesses and physical evidence, although the fire burned a lot of things, but in the brazier where the accident occurred, a little ash different from the charcoal ash was found, it was a thing that burned a strange shape, after analysis, it was about a bottle stopper.

Someone added a bottle to the brazier, and there was about gunpowder or something in it, so the brazier came in, and after burning for a while, it exploded, causing a fire.

The brazier placed next to the concubine was aimed at the concubine and the dragon in her womb.

In addition to the maid who carried the brazier, there were all the palace maids who were serving in the palace at that time, and there was also Wei Wen, the sister-in-law of the concubine.

Wei Wenshi said that when the fire broke out and she was panicking, she was waiting for the concubine to speak, and when she looked back to see the fire, she was pushed hard and hit the concubine Niangniang, if it wasn't for Concubine Ning's eyes and hands to block it, she would definitely have to bump into the concubine Niangniang.

Wei Wenshi said that she saw it very clearly that the person who pushed her was Concubine Xi.

Actually, the person who pushed her was the maid next to Concubine Xi, but Wei Wenshi was not soft at all, and she insisted that she could see it clearly, it was Concubine Xi who pushed her.

When Commander Shen replied respectfully, the emperor didn't speak until he heard Wei Wen's confession, and the emperor knocked on the table and asked, "Wen Chengzhou's eldest daughter?" ”

"Yes!"

"Did you find out anything about the heirs of the Jin Palace?" The emperor's questions have always been so jumpy and tricky.

However, Shen Rongzhong had long been accustomed to the style of this emperor, and replied unmoved: "There is no conclusive conclusion, but there should be no doubt that there is a shadow of Wen Chengzhou behind him, but it has not yet been clarified to what extent he has achieved." ”

The emperor knocked on the table again: "What does King Jin mean?" There is also Zhennan Wangfu, and I see that my hands are not short. ”

Shen Rongzhong said: "King Jin is undecided, and he can't see it now, as for the Zhennan Palace, there has been no movement since the princess entered the mansion and asked the princess to say goodbye that day. ”

"What did the crown princess say?" The emperor was very interested.

Shen Rongzhong bowed, but did not answer immediately.

The emperor smiled and said: "You just have to say, they are used to these little guys, I know the way, it doesn't matter if you and I say a few words, hum, hum, they have no rules in one place, look at the right eye, buckle the right ring!" I couldn't find a better match. ”

Only then did Shen Rongzhong say: "The crown princess told the princess of Zhennan that this matter is not the prince's business, and His Majesty will call the shots." ”

The emperor coughed a little as if he was choked, his daughter-in-law is really direct enough, did they really decide that they wanted to take the Jin Palace?

These two lawless fellows actually dared to do everything to his master!

But......

The prince was willing to keep the Jin Wangfu for himself, and even persuaded him to retire from the Zhennan Wangfu in advance, the emperor was actually a little surprised, he knew his son, he had always been bold and black-hearted, what to eat was not enough, Jin Wangfu was such a piece of fat, he was actually willing to send it to himself.

I have to say that this son has grown up and become a parent, so he has to be more mature and respectful.

The emperor thought about it for a while, and really had to say that even if he didn't want to really call the prince right, but after thinking about it, he still needed to take the Jin Palace.

The prince refuses to do it, and if he doesn't make a move, he will have to cheapen others!

This bastard!

The emperor is quite a bit of a taste of falling into his son's calculations, but it is his son's filial piety, not only can he not shirk, but it is indeed difficult to shirk.

The emperor contradicted himself on the one hand and felt that his son was sensible and filial, and his heart was hot, but on the other hand, he felt that he was a little unwilling to ask his son to be right, and after thinking for a while, he asked Shen Rongzhong: "Next month, I will approve the will of the old man of the Lin Pavilion, the cabinet is the most important and indispensable in the court, who should I mention?" ”

Shen Rongzhong said: "This is a major event in the imperial court, and Weichen does not dare to say anything. ”

The emperor smiled: "I think Wen Chengzhou is good, he is from a serious three-yuan background, and now he has been trained for more than 20 years, and he is getting older and older, and his age and qualifications are all on the top selection." ”

Shen Rongzhong was still respectfully silent, but he knew in his heart that the emperor meant to say such a thing at this time, which was to ask him to reveal the news to the prince.

This temper that will be repaid, this twisting and turning heart...... These two fathers and sons actually have the same temperament, they are really biological!

It's just that the prince was born as a son-in-law, and he was bolder than the emperor back then.

As soon as the first month came out, the imperial court issued two wills, and it was impossible to distinguish which of the two wills was more important and important, but the high-ranking families in the imperial capital all knew the way, and the impact of these two wills on the court situation and the forces of all parties could be seen at least in five years, or even ten years!

The author has something to say: there is nothing left for Lu...... Hey, it's so lonely, rolling around and begging for comments!
