When Lu Qingjin was confused, she felt that someone was feeding sweet and greasy things to her mouth, although she couldn't open her eyes, she still obediently spit out the things in her mouth.

The doctor beside the bed wiped the sweat from his head and said helplessly; "Please forgive the emperor, the old minister is really powerless, the burns on the queen's body are not serious, but I have been in the fire for too long, and some smoke and dust have entered the body, I am afraid that it will leave asthma."

Qin Zhao almost stumbled, Zhang De beside him supported him expressionlessly, the imperial doctor thought about it and seemed to be worried that his words were too heavy, so he hurriedly remedied; "Although there are sequelae, but Niangniang is blessed with a great life, and she should wake up in a while, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Qin Zhao's face was quite hideous, and Concubine Li behind him spoke in time; "The queen mother is resting now, the emperor should go out first. In the main hall of the concubine, someone from the Internal Affairs Office has been called to interrogate. ”

Qin Zhao then remembered that because the Queen's Palace was almost burned down, everyone was in Concubine Li's Liyun Hall at this time, he took a deep breath and said; "What you said makes sense, this place will be left to your maid to serve, and you must ensure the safety of the queen."

Concubine Li glanced at the queen on the bed with some concern, and spoke quite proudly when she heard this; "The emperor can rest assured, the concubine guarantees that no thief can come here, and the concubine knows the queen's affairs."

Qin Zhao sighed and walked outside, saying something almost imperceptibly before going out; "Thank you so much."

Concubine Li's expression was not a little sad, and she followed Qin Zhao out as if she hadn't heard it.

Ji Chen in the main hall saw Qin Zhao and hurriedly saluted, Qin Zhao waved his hand and said coldly; "The general thinks it's been a long time since I've seen my sister, and now I give you the privilege to live in the palace, but the cause of the fire in the queen's palace must be investigated."

Ji Chen agreed, and glanced at Concubine Li, who seemed to be a little worried, and Concubine Li shook her head imperceptibly before he took someone away.

The remaining concubines sat on the chairs steadily, and the atmosphere was a little solemn for a while, until Concubine Yun slowly spoke: "The concubines know what Your Majesty is worried about, this matter is not done by the concubines, the concubines really want to teach the queen a lesson, but they haven't had time to arrange it, and they don't want to kill her." ”

Qin Zhao glanced at her coldly, and only spoke after a while; "I know what you look like, and when the general finds out, it will be clear, you are all the daughters of the ministers of the humerus, and I really don't want this matter to have anything to do with you."

The four concubines had different expressions, and after a while, Concubine Yun led a few people to salute and retreat one by one, leaving only Concubine Li still standing in place, Qin Zhao heard the voice of the imperial doctor before he could speak: "Your Majesty, the queen has woken up, do you want to go and see." ”

Qin Zhao immediately couldn't take care of Concubine Li, and left in a hurry. Seeing this, Xiaocui looked at Concubine Li with some concern, and Concubine Li hesitated for a moment but reluctantly followed.

As soon as Lu Qingjin opened her eyes, she saw Qin Zhao's worried eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief and sat up with some difficulty, she didn't know where the wound was involved, and she lay down very weakly, Qin Zhao's heart hurt like a knife when she saw her weak appearance.

When Concubine Li saw that Lu Qingjin seemed uncomfortable, she handed over a cup of tea, and Lu Qingjin took a hard sip of her hand before saying with difficulty; "How is Xiao Ling, how are the other people in my palace?"

Qin Zhao lowered his head and said helplessly; "Although Xiao Ling has a lot of injuries on his body, fortunately, there is no danger to his life, no one in your palace except for the two of you has come out, and the queen's palace is almost burned."

Lu Qingjin was stunned and muttered; "There are nearly fifty people serving in my palace, and the two of us escaped?"

Concubine Li looked at Qin Zhao, who was grieving and didn't seem to be able to speak, and let out a long sigh; "Don't be sad, the queen mother, the general has already entered the palace, and the reason will be found out in a while, so you can drink tea again."

Lu Qingjin lowered his eyes and didn't speak, but after he took the tea and drank it, Zhang Dequan's voice outside the door came in in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, Miss Xiaoling has woken up, do you want to let her in." ”

Qin Zhao didn't want Lu Qingjin to see Xiao Ling touching the scene, but when he saw Lu Qingjin's begging eyes, he said helplessly: "Pack her up and bring her in." ”

There was a sound outside that seemed to be tidying up, and after a while, Xiao Cui helped Xiao Ling to walk in, Xiao Ling knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully, seeing that Lu Qingjin was okay, he smiled peacefully, and said hoarsely to Qin Zhao; "The slave and maid know the reason for this fire, and the slave and maid are obsessed with bringing in the letter given by the charity mage, but they don't know that the letter is soaked in fire oil, which is why this disaster happened, in the final analysis, it is all the slave's fault, and I hope the emperor will punish him heavily."

Qin Zhao looked at her fiercely, and then at Zhang Dequan, who lowered his head and was silent; "You really have the guts, you dare to ask for guilt for doing such a thing, are you thinking that I dare not kill you?"

Lu Qingjin on the bed choked and coughed for a while before he said weakly; "The concubines begged the emperor to let her go, but all these concubines were not pursued, and they only hoped that the emperor would spare her life."

Concubine Li looked at it quietly for a while before she spoke: "This palace maid should be kept first, after all, my brother is still poor, and the cause of this fire is easy to investigate, so it is better to deal with her after the truth is revealed." ”

Qin Zhao nodded, took the ginseng soup handed over by Xiaocui and fed it to Lu Qingjin little by little, although Lu Qingjin felt that this was not good, he didn't have the strength to drink it.

After a while, Concubine Li handed over the handkerchief in her hand and said with a smile: "Niangniang's body is now raised, and it just so happened that someone sent a strange thing a few days ago, saying that the desert and windy countries always love to eat, and it is good for Niangniang's body, and it will be stewed in a while." ”

Qin Zhao wiped Lu Qingjin's mouth, and said in a faint voice; "Forget it, I don't know if it's suitable yet, it's too late to eat when her body gets better in a few days."

Lu Qingjin was still very grateful to Concubine Li for lending her her bedroom, and smiled at Concubine Li's flattery, Qin Zhao's already unsightly face was even more ugly, but he didn't say anything because he was afraid of face.

Ji Chen, who was outside the door, saw this scene, his eyes darkened, he raised his hand and asked the little eunuch beside him to send the paper in his hand and turned around and left, vaguely only to see a line of words on the paper that read: The fire is a letter stained with fire oil, and the fire is burning because someone poured fire oil on the corner of the palace.
