At the same time.

Tai Chi Hall.

Li Zhi was on the golden throne, looked at the medicine that came to report, and said in a cold voice:

"Whose fault is it?"

Yao'er didn't raise his head, and said in a trembling voice:

"Right now...... I don't know yet, but ......

But ......"

Xiao Shufei's father, Lord Xiao, who heard the news on the side, couldn't help but say angrily when he saw her swallowing like this:

"But what?!

If you have something to say, you just say it! ”

Such an urgency, although it was done by his heartfelt daughter, but in the end, he was also out of proportion, and he himself was immediately shocked, so he immediately asked Li Zhi for guilt.

Li Zhi knew that he was concerned about his daughter, but he didn't criticize him, but after many comforts, he asked Yao'er:

"If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Yao'er only then grew out of the airway:

"Lord, this fire is strange......

According to Jin Wuwei, who is in charge of water and fire matters in the palace, it seems that someone set the fire. ”

Li Zhi immediately raised his eyebrows:

"Arson?!

What a guts!

Who the hell is it?! ”

When Lord Xiao heard this, he was also shocked and angry, staring at Yao'er.

Yao'er sighed in her heart and stammered:

"Right now......

It has not yet been identified......

However, most of them were done by a certain hall in the palace. ”

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, Lord Xiao immediately said:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Such things...... Such things ......"

At this point, he couldn't say more, Li Zhi understood, and comforted softly:

"Xiao Qing can rest assured, I will give Concubine Shu justice."

After another good comfort, he took him with medicine, took the warrant given by Li Zhi Wang De, and went to the Qianqiu Palace to see Concubine Xiao Shu.

De'an, who was standing on one side, did not speak until they left, and then stepped forward and whispered:

"Lord, this is most likely the work of Wanchun Palace.

And such a big thing......

Although Lord Xiao cares about his daughter for a while and has never thought about it, he will inevitably mention it afterwards......

The Lord must think of some way to deal with it. ”

Li Zhi slapped the table hard, gritted his teeth and said:

"If she keeps her duty, she just goes to embarrass Concubine Shu......

Even if she and Concubine Shu fought to the death, I didn't want her to be too embarrassed......

But since she even harmed innocents like this......

Then don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Dean also sighed:

"Although......

However, the Lord has a reason to abandon the queen completely......

It will also attract criticism and even disgust from hundreds of officials......

But in the end......

Alas......"

Dean couldn't go on:

Although Li Zhi was half-hearted, he just wanted to provoke Wang Xiao and the two to fight, but for Li Zhi, he was used to seeing that when the first emperor was there, the concubines of the palace just had the attitude of being ruthless to their opponents, and it was really unimaginable that there was such an act in this world that involved innocent people in order to conquer his opponents......

In fact, this is also one of the people's hearts, but although Li Zhi has heard of it, he has never seen it in person......

The people around him, men and women, young and old, always act in a way that is only aimed at what they really want......

But there has never been such an act.

Li Zhi gritted his teeth, remorseful and angry, and asked De'an with hatred:

"Does my uncle know about this?"

"Probably I know.

After all, it is impossible for such a major event to escape the eyes and ears of Uncle Yuan. ”

Li Zhi took a breath and sighed:

"It's me, isn't it......

It's me, isn't it......

I'm just begging to be able to take her down with Concubine Shu......

But he never thought of the possible consequences after pushing her too quickly and too tightly......

It's me, it's not ......."

Looking at the guilty Li Zhi, De'an said softly:

"In fact, the Lord doesn't have to blame himself so much, everything has many sides, turn around and think about it, after this time, knowing what she can do, she will naturally be more vigilant in the future, and she will think more......

Moreover, no matter what, as soon as such a thing comes out now, the officials in the court and the central government will inevitably criticize her, and people will be dissatisfied in the long run......

It's not impossible for rotten wood to wither by itself! ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said softly:

"I know the queen's temperament.

Although this incident shows that she did it, it may be ......

She had some arrangements to teach herself to get out. ”

Dean said:

"The Lord is so, but he is too thoughtful......

Even if the queen wants to have a backhand, she is afraid that Sister Wu and her master may not be willing? ”

Dean was right.

When Li Zhi and De'an were discussing this matter, Wang De had already sent Master Xiao into the Qianqiu Palace, and then, taking this opportunity, he looked around in the Qianqiu Palace.

This time, I happened to see something, something unthinkable-

It was a jade ring.

And this jade ring, he has only seen it in one person-

Sure enough, for the queen, what she wants to harm the most is the person who the Lord cares about the most.

With a sneer in his heart, he quietly called Jin Wuwei over and said:

"But there is something here, look at it, or the arsonist left it behind."

When Jin Wuwei heard this, he approached one after another, and immediately a sharp-eyed person called out and said:

"This ......

It seems to be His Majesty's newly acquired White Dragon Ring a few days ago......

How is it here? ”

And the other person who seemed to be a clever person with a smart face, Jin Wuwei, after looking at Wang De thoughtfully, said softly:

"Father-in-law, Li Yu remembers...... This thing is the martial lady who His Majesty gave to the Lizheng Hall on the same day......"

Wang De glanced at him, nodded his head, and said meaningfully:

"That's true......

It's just that this thing is afraid that it is not the one! ”

Jin Wuwei, who called himself Li Yu, was stunned, and immediately asked his subordinates to come with the jade ring, carefully took it in his hand and looked at it again, but said:

"Not bad......

It really doesn't seem to be that one.

When His Majesty gave this thing to Wu Niangzi that day, Li also happened to be on duty......

I remember that the merchant of the Western Regions who gave this thing to Nagong once said:

This thing is special, water and fire do not invade and do not mention, if once into the hands of people, there will inevitably be a light wind like a ring around the person......

But right now, Li is holding this thing, but he is completely insensitive.

'M afraid......

But it was a good imitation of white jade, and it was specially placed here, in order to think that the white dragon ring! ”

When Wang De heard this, he also took the white dragon ring from Li Yu's hand, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then nodded and said:

"Lord Li is right, this thing is definitely not the white dragon ring that the Lord gave to the martial lady that day, although it looks very similar, but the white dragon ring is our family personally inspected before entering the treasury of the palace, the dragon eye of the white dragon ring, but the craftsman borrowed its natural jade, carved a pair of slightly golden light, flexible and vivid......

Therefore, I am afraid that someone deliberately imitates it! ”

The night was dark, and the surrounding firelight had been extinguished, and in the moonlight, the guards and palace people next to them only saw a white jade ring in their hands, but they really couldn't see why.

However, the people in the Guard Palace on the side can see it more or less, and from their point of view, that Long Qing is indeed nothing special, and Wang De and the leader of Jin Wuwei are both discussing this together, so they immediately agreed, and Ming An stood on one side, acting at the opportunity, and said thoughtfully:

"Speaking of which, someone deliberately put this treasure here to slander the martial lady of the palace?

This...... Isn't it the same as the last time? ”

Immediately, all the guards and servants were all talking.

Seeing this, Wang De was also happy in his heart, and he glanced at the leader of the Jin Wuwei, put it in his sleeve pocket, and said in a low voice:

"Okay, don't talk about it anymore, it's better to ask the Lord to break off such a public case!

You all have your own business! ”

On one side, Li Yu also drank lightly.

Immediately, all the guards and servants dispersed, but the rumor that someone deliberately slandered the martial lady of the Lizheng Palace spread as the two of them wished.

Seeing this, Li Yu took a step forward and said to Wang De casually:

"Father-in-law, this matter has been decided now, but right now, I have to inform Wu Niangzi, please be careful!"

Wang De nodded, also made a brief, and said to him:

"This thing, our family will deal with it, just to inform Wu Niangzi about it, but we have to work on the shadow guards. Master Li, I don't know if Lord Li Yun is here? ”

"My brother is out of the palace at the moment......

Not only him, but almost all the people who need it now have gone out.

After all, General Gao's matter can't be solved for a while! ”

Wang De gritted his teeth and sighed:

"But at this moment, the people around our family can't be moved in vain......"

Suddenly, he looked at a figure in the fire, his eyes lit up, and he shouted urgently:

"Amo?

The one over there, but Amo? ”

Hearing Wang De's shout, the little eunuch who looked white and clean, but his clothes were burned to ashes, and he couldn't see that he couldn't cover his body, immediately turned his head to look, and saw that it was Wang De and Li Yu, so he immediately ran forward and said:

"I've seen the princess."

"Okay, Amo, how did you get here?"

"Back to my father-in-law, because of the redundancy of the queen's mother, I went back to the Inner Servant Province with Ah Mo.

Later, because of the lack of manpower in the lady's mother, she ......"

When Wang De heard this, he sighed in his heart:

"Pity you...... Neither of these two is a good master to serve......

Here you are today, and you are almost dying......

In this way, I saw you today, and it is also fate, and the Lord loves you very much...... Later, if I am summoned, I will ask you a lot!

You're a well-spoken person, and you're always better at explaining tonight's events than you're stupid......

But right now, you can't always see the holy face......

Ming'an, you take him, take a step forward to our Taiji Hall, change your clothes and come out, and then wait there...... After our family and Master Li took the camera, they immediately went over and took him to report to the Lord......

Got it? ”

Ming'an didn't know what Wang De meant, and immediately nodded and said:

Ming'an understood...... However, there is still one thing that I ask my father-in-law to make clear, in this case, should we go to the heads of the various halls and the female officials of the inner prison, and always be vigilant, so that the Lord can inquire about it? ”

Wang De nodded, pretending to think deeply:

"It's inconvenient for you to have such a big thing at the moment......

Then call Brother Qingming! Let them take a group of petty eunuchs and go to the temples to spread the word! ”

"Yes!"

When the news reached the Lizheng Palace, Mei Niang did not sleep.

When he heard that he had come to report something, he hurriedly ordered it to be passed on left and right.

And this rumor, it was found that Qing Fei came alone, and he specially brought a small eunuch.

And this little eunuch, no matter how you look at it, looks like ......

Mei Niang's thoughtful gaze was all locked in her eyes, but she said with a smile on her face:

"I don't know what is the important matter for Father-in-law Qing to come today?"

Qinghe didn't raise his head, just looked down at the ground and said:

"It's so late at night, but it's really inappropriate to disturb the lady's rest, but there is a big event in the palace tonight, and please keep watch for the lady first, once the Lord has a call, you should invite all the hall masters (that is, the collective name of the concubines and concubines of each hall) to enter the Taiji Hall to listen to the call."

Mei Niang's eyes froze, and she said a little strangely:

"What's the matter?

Do you want the whole palace to be guarded? ”

Qinghe also did not raise his head and said:

"Zhurong (the god of fire) suddenly descended in the Qianqiu Palace, and I don't know if this omen is auspicious or evil."

Mei Niang was stunned, and said with a slight shock:

"But anyone is hurt?"

Qinghe sighed and said:

"A few little maids in the Qianqiu Hall were robbed and died."

When Mei Niang heard this, she sighed:

"It's a great fire......

Alas!

I'm afraid that in this palace, more Taoist priests will be invited to come to comfort the soul. ”

Qinghe said that it was, and said a few words that were not painful, and then retired by himself.

From beginning to end, he didn't lift his head once.

……

Seeing the two of them go out of the palace, Mei Niang's expression was grim, and she immediately asked Wen Niang:

"Liu'er stays here, you go to Ryan, you take everyone to check together, and see if there are any people in our temple or anything missing.

Fast! At the moment, everyone has something to do at hand, and they are all pressing it for the time being, and they only take this matter as the first priority! ”

Wen Niang immediately responded to the call and went to look for Ruian, and Liu'er was puzzled:

"How is my sister like this?

Although the fire was so big that it did hurt a few lives, it was ......

But it's not our ......."

Mei Niang gritted her teeth and shook her head, silent for a long time.

After a long time, she said softly:

"You go to find Yuming first, ask her to ask her, and see what is going on with the shadow guard.

Remember, don't let anyone see it. ”

Liu'er left in response.
