Chapter Eighty-Seven: Encountering Danger
Qin Zhao looked at the fold in his hand and said helplessly: "These ministers are used to saying good things, and they are such useless things all day long, and I don't know if they are tired or not. ”
Ji Chen sat on a chair not far away, and his voice was lazy: "Your Majesty, isn't it almost customary, this is a habit left over from the previous dynasty, if you want to change it, I'm afraid you will have to wait for many days." ”
Qin Zhao rubbed his forehead: "Let's not talk about these things first, is there any result of the things that asked you to check a few days ago?" ”
Ji Chen stood up and saluted when he heard this: "The minister has already found out that this Wei Jinzhi is indeed related to the forces of the previous dynasty if there is no accident, but I don't know his identity yet, I can only find out that he is a musician." ”
Qin Zhao slammed the fold in his hand on the table; "These miscellaneous pieces of the previous dynasty will be these crooked ways, if they had governed the country well at the beginning, why should they be like now, but now it is hard."
Ji Chen stood quietly to the side and didn't speak, Qin Zhao seemed to remember something important, he waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Dequan to take someone out, Zhang Dequan's eyes flashed a few times and walked out a little reluctantly.
Ji Chen looked at his back and frowned, and only said cautiously when there were only two people left in the main hall; "Does the emperor already know, but unfortunately it's not the time yet."
Qin Zhao's face was full of wood, and even his tone was light: "He is the person arranged by the first emperor, even if I know what is the use, it will never be the time to rely on this identity." ”
Ji Chen's brows furrowed even tighter, and he shook his head disapprovingly; "Your Majesty think twice, now is the time for the country to worry about internal and external troubles, this charity mage is clearly not on our side, especially his people even include the personal eunuchs around His Majesty, it is really impossible not to guard against it!"
Qin Zhao rubbed his forehead a little tiredly; "This matter can only be said later, what is said is that the Charity Mage has no bad attitude now, he is the benefactor of the former emperor after all, even if I don't like it, I can't touch him casually."
Ji Chen closed his mouth in amusement. After a long while, Qin Zhao spoke again; "I heard that the prince of Wei already knows about the potatoes in the imperial village, how do they react?"
Ji Chen thought about it carefully, and his voice was a little uncertain; "They seem to look down on potatoes, and the minister heard that the prince of Wei said publicly that this thing was useless, but secretly they brought a fire oil, and it was not without action."
Qin Zhao smiled a little sarcastically; "They saw the usefulness of potatoes, but they didn't want to start with me, thinking that they wanted to burn the Huangzhuang so that I couldn't get it."
Ji Chen hurriedly arched his hand: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has secretly arranged a lot of people, even if they use flint, they can't blow up the imperial village." ”
Qin Zhao nodded and said with some hesitation: "There may still be some things in the palace these days, but don't worry, I think your sister can't stand too much grievance." ”
Ji Chen nodded and said meaningfully; "Although Chen's sister is said to be a general's material, she is a smart person in the end, and Chen believes that she knows how to do it."
Qin Zhao squinted his eyes as he looked at Ji Chen's departing back, and Zhang Dequan came in from outside, his face full of panic: "Your Majesty is not good, the slave just heard that there was a fire in the palace of the queen mother, and the people of the Internal Affairs Office have not been able to rescue the mother so far!" ”
He spoke in a loud voice, and Ji Chen, who had not gone far, turned around in surprise when he heard this, Qin Zhao's face turned pale for a moment and said hurriedly; "Ji Chen, don't leave the palace yet, follow me to have a look."
Ji Chen remembered that his sister was also having a cold war, he believed that Concubine Li was dead and would not do such a thing, but it was because of this that it was more worrying, because if it wasn't Concubine Li, it might be someone else, and the safety of the lady in this palace could not be guaranteed.
Qin Zhao hurriedly came to the outside of the queen's palace, along the way, many little eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly carried buckets back and forth, and they were shocked.
When they saw Qin Zhao coming, they made a vain salute, turned around and still looked at the fire worriedly, Qin Zhao didn't have time to worry and asked; "How's it going inside, has the queen come out?"
A little eunuch replied with a sad face; "I don't know how this fire started, the queen mother was originally in the dormitory for a lunch break, but the fire didn't burn over. But this has already surrounded the fire, and I am afraid that it is already more auspicious. ”
Qin Zhao looked at the already surging flames in disbelief and roared angrily; "If the queen can't come out safely today, all the people in this palace will go to the funeral."
The people around didn't dare to stop when they heard this, and hurriedly sped up to put out the fire, Ji Chen looked at Concubine Li with a worried face, hesitated for a moment and spoke; "The minister knows that the emperor is worried about the queen's mother, but there are not many people serving in this palace, and the emperor wants to allow the minister to send the soldiers in the palace."
In fact, this sentence is very unruly, there are a lot of female dependents in this palace, and there has been no reason to let the soldiers enter the palace since ancient times, but Qin Zhao can't take care of it now, their minds are all pictures of Lu Qingjin who may have been fierce and unlucky, and hurriedly said: "What you said makes sense, I'm accurate, you take someone with you." ”
Ji Chen agreed and quietly took Concubine Li away, asking as he went; "What's going on, how can it still burn in the palace?"
Concubine Li couldn't care about her manners and hurriedly said; "Brother has to believe me, this matter has nothing to do with me, and it may not be done by other people in the palace, after all, Concubine Yun just said in the morning that she wanted to teach the queen a lesson, she can't be so fast, someone should have taken advantage of the loophole."
Ji Chen sighed and shouted to the people not far away; "The emperor has ordered that the soldiers of the General's Mansion can enter the palace to put out the fire, so be sure to be fast."
Qin Zhao stood anxiously not far away, the soldiers of the General's Mansion had already arrived, the fire had weakened, and after a while, two figures came out of the fire, still covered with quilts, looking quite embarrassed.
Qin Zhao hurriedly greeted him, Lu Qingjin's face was exposed from the quilt, she looked fine, but the little spirit beside her was already scarred, and before Qin Zhao could speak, he heard Lu Qingjin's faint voice repeating vigorously; "Hurry up and save Xiaoling, she is all for me, you save her."
Before he finished speaking, he fainted, Qin Zhao's heart was unbearable, and he hugged Lu Qingjin's bloodstained body and said loudly; "Doctor, call Doctor Tai over quickly."
Ji Chen didn't pay attention to the two people on the ground, but looked at the fire in front of him thoughtfully.
