The light of the fire in the sky lit up half of the sky, and the dragon soaring into the sky seemed to be flying in front of everyone's eyes, as if it was far and near, as if it were within reach.

The Emperor and his ministers approached quickly towards the place where the fire had started. Soon, a wave of heat in the sky slapped everyone's faces.

After all, Yin Qiang is different from ordinary concubines, what does Emperor Tianlong think of her in his private heart, she is now pregnant with a dragon heir, just to make a show, and Emperor Tianlong can't ignore it.

Even Lin Qiantan, who knew the cause of the fire, was also shocked by the effect of the fire that she imagined after the actual operation.

The first thing she thought of at this time was what happened to Ji Yue. The fire is merciless, and I hope Jiyue is safe and sound.

She knew very well that her improved fire fold would not have such a powerful ignition effect. Such a fire is far beyond her calculations.

Fengguang is also worried about her sister, afraid of whether something has happened here. She followed Lin Qiantan to the closest position to where the fire spread.

Beyond that, there is danger.

As far as everyone could see, the gorgeous dormitory where the former imperial concubine Yin Qiang had lived for more than several years was completely swallowed by the fire dragon. Although he didn't think about taking the lives of Yin Qiang and Lin Bixiang, he didn't use it in this way.

However, Yin Qiang and Lin Bixiang's lives are also much tougher than Lin Qiantan imagined. In the roaring fire, the people who put out the fire were noisy, but no one shouted that the imperial concubine had an accident.

As soon as Emperor Tianlong asked about the situation of Yin Qiang, someone from the palace came over and rushed to report that the imperial concubine Niangniang had nothing to do, and she escaped in time, and at this time she had been temporarily placed in other palaces nearby.

Emperor Tianlong breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned back and paid serious attention to the cause of the raging fire.

There was also a lingering smell of pine nut oil in the air, and the fire was obviously ignited by someone pouring oil and water.

The dormitory of the imperial concubine of a dignified country is so that people can light a fire if they want to, and they don't know what this big group of imperial guards eats.

However, what is puzzling is that at the time of the incident, there were no royal guards patrolling around the fire site.

The shift table, which was obviously wrong with the shift, did clearly list such a large vacancy, which was enough to make people do something unconsciously.

And Ji Yue returned in this chaos, and told Lin Qiantan that she didn't do this.

"The slave maid thought it was strange at the time, but she acted nervously and hastily, but she didn't pay attention to it for a while." She was originally a thief, and she wished to hide from people, so it was not surprising that she didn't pay attention for a while.

Ji Yue was safe, and Lin Qiantan was relieved: "It's okay if people are fine."

I also heard her say that she went to Yin Qiang to set fire according to her orders, and it was impossible to use any oil and water.

"When the slave and maid got it, they didn't smell the choking smell." She took off her shell and took a detour back to the palace banquet site, but she was also halfway through and saw the fire behind her.

Lin Qian said in her heart, that is to say, in addition to them, there are other people who are fishing in troubled waters.

Yin Qiang, who rushed to meet the emperor when he heard the news, also told how he was in danger of surviving: "The fire at the beginning only rose from a wall, and the concubines also asked people to extinguish the fire. It didn't have time to extinguish it, and suddenly it exploded from another place......"

Yin Qiang looked a little embarrassed.

The middle-aged woman, who was originally gorgeous and exquisite, had a section of her hair burned off, and there was some obvious burnt on the tail of her hair. There are also some gray marks left on the face because it was too late to erase.

The imperial guard, who had eaten a row of faces, was busy around, and finally caught a suspicious little eunuch who appeared nearby at the time of the incident, and used it to prevaricate and derelict his duties. They didn't pay attention to it themselves, so they let someone take advantage of the loophole and make a mistake.

This little eunuch insisted that the imperial concubine had beaten his own brother to death, and he was avenging his family. He kept shouting that he had not been able to avenge his brother......

Emperor Tianlong, who has been immersed in conspiracy for half his life, doesn't quite believe in such a trick that looks like a graft. It's not a pity that the little eunuch died, but it still has to be investigated.

Emperor Tianlong was also busy for half a circle, and only then did he seem to remember that the result of Baiyun Heavenly Master's divination had not yet had time to be said. That's when I asked.

However, the palace maid who went to invite the Heavenly Master came back and told Emperor Tianlong in a panic that the Baiyun Heavenly Master had been found dead in the palace. The knife pierced his heart, and the Baiyun Heavenly Master didn't even have time to let out a shout for help.

Just now, when Emperor Tianlong came over, Baiyun Heavenly Master was not like other ministers, who kept up with the team.

He was silenced, and the secrets he knew were as if they had been buried.

This thing was also not done by Lin Qiantan.

However, Beren was not killed by her, but also died because of her. Lin Qiantan still frowned slightly.

Although Baiyun Heavenly Master died inexplicably, what he said left an image in everyone's hearts.

He said that this big businessman has demons and harms the fortune of the country.

The death of a Taoist priest can't arouse the sympathy of the nobles, but people remember that before the death of Baiyun Heavenly Master, the direction of his finger was the direction where the imperial concubine Yin Qiang was. They all had some guesses in their hearts, and they were faintly excited.

So does it mean that the imperial concubine may be the one referred to by the White Cloud Heavenly Master, the demon who affects the fortunes of the country?

Although these are different from what Lin Qiantan imagined, they still achieved the goal that Lin Qiantan wanted.

At least there is no such a Heavenly Master there, she doesn't have to worry about whether the stinky Taoist priest will take her money and do nothing.

Yin Wei didn't intend to let her escape like this easily.

She called for her handmaiden, called her closer, and put her close to her ear and said something to her......

*

Emperor Tianlong was also suspicious of the direction that Baiyun Heavenly Master pointed out before his death.

He didn't plan to do anything to Yin Qiang. After all, she is a member of the Yin family, and the people of the Yin family are not suitable to move too much now.

Although he would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

As a result, the matter was over, and Emperor Tianlong used the fact that the matter had not been clarified as a reason, and perfunctory past.

The emperor is not in a hurry, but the ministers are in a hurry, and it is useless.

If something like this happens, of course, the palace banquet will not be able to continue. The roof became a decoration, and the guests were ready to leave along the palace road.

However, there are still some people who are close to the emperor and reused.

The imperial concubine's bedroom suffered, even if this matter was just for a face, Emperor Tianlong must investigate it in detail. What's more, there is a lot of involvement behind it.

Several important ministers were left in the palace to discuss, and the imperial guards went out to investigate the traces of the events before and after. Those who had not yet had time to leave and stayed in the palace for the time being gathered in the palace room, waiting to leave.

In front of Emperor Tianlong, there were only a few people left.

*

Among those who stayed in the palace and did not leave, Yin Wei was one of them.

Yin Qiang is her sister, and something happened to her sister's dormitory, and it was a matter of course for her to stay.

Yin Qiang, I happened to have something else to do when I found her.

As for Gu Ping's ministers, the things that need to be left to deal with are obviously serious in nature.

In the rush of the incident, Emperor Tianlong lightly flickered all kinds of trivialities at the time of the incident, but everyone had eyes and saw the word "Zhou" that appeared in the fire.

A vision from heaven.

Heaven warns such a thing, and everyone is also in the attitude of believing it rather than believing it. In the imperial study, Emperor Tianlong led a group of courtiers and was discussing these. Since there are demons in the capital, this fire must be related to the demon in the mouth of the Baiyun Heavenly Master.

At this time, just as he was talking about this, one of the courtiers happened to be thinking of something, and mentioned to the emperor that although Baiyun Heavenly Master was killed, his two disciples were still there.

Gu Ping then looked at it and recognized that this person was also a member of the Yin clan.

This person's name is Yin Fu, and he is the cousin of the Yin Ren brother and sister, and Yin Wei saw that he was very easy to use, so she recommended him to Yin Ren and called him. This person does have the ability, so he will rise step by step.

Gu Ping took it for granted that he would speak out, and it was all about tenacity.

Even Emperor Tianlong thought so.

Yin Fu thought in his heart, but he just used this opportunity to repay Yin Wei for his kindness.

Before Gu Ping could argue anything, Yin Ren said inappropriately: "What Lord Yin said is wrong."

Everyone present was also surprised that Yin Ren would run out to dismantle his own platform. Yin Fu is also ruthless.

However, from the emperor's point of view, he is happy to go against the tenacity. If Yin Ren says East, he wants to say West.

Besides, what Yin Fu said was originally very reasonable.

"Come on, go and bring the two disciples of the Heavenly Master to the temple."

So some people went.

Not long after, two little Taoist priests wearing the same robes as Baiyun Heavenly Master entered from outside, and Baiyun Heavenly Master died, but the results of his divination were left behind.

Those who know how to interpret hexagrams do not necessarily have to be Baiyun Heavenly Master.

The two children only knew that their master had contact with the Yin Wei Yin Qiang sisters, but they didn't know that their master had received a bead from Lin Qiantan and planned to swallow it privately.

They took benefits from the Yin sisters, and of course they would only act according to the original plan.

So, one of them, who looked older, stood up and said to Emperor Tianlong: "Back to Your Majesty, from this hexagram, it may not be impossible to deduce which person this refers to."

Emperor Tianlong said, "Oh?"

Xiao Tong kept in mind the task of his master and apprentice entering the palace, and according to the original train of thought, he considered the sentence, and faintly pointed the finger at the seventh lady of the Dongshan Hou Mansion.

These people in the imperial study have not forgotten the direction that Bai Yun Heavenly Master pointed in front of the public, and it is clear which master in the palace is it. At this moment, how did this little boy point to the seventh lady of the Dongshan Hou Mansion?

Gu Ping naturally wanted to protect his apprentices, so he immediately reprimanded him loudly: "It's just nonsense, Your Majesty, this little boy is not good enough, and he doesn't know if he has misinterpreted, and what he says is not credible."

In Emperor Tianlong's opinion, he didn't know that the female student Gu Ping had accepted privately was Lin Qiantan, so at this time, he looked over and Gu Ping spoke, which was quite pertinent.

The little boy was not in a hurry, of course, he also knew that his master's finger in front of everyone, and the fire in the sky that was still burning.

He has also made up a reason, which he said: "The Prime Minister really doesn't know, I heard that Miss Seven often enters the palace to visit the concubine Niangniang, and the reason why the concubine Niangniang is unwell and can't show up is precisely because she has unclean things in the palace."

That is to say, it is far-fetched to have this inauspicious hexagram related to Lin Qiantan.

What Xiao Tong said was barely logical and reasonable, and including Emperor Tianlong, they all listened to it......

Yin Ren stood there, and glanced at the little boy coldly, as if he was smiling, the little boy was looking at Yin Ren as if he was flattering, and was suddenly startled by the ghostly eyes......

His heart was pounding, what did he say wrong?

However, Emperor Tianlong is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong after all. The little boy in front of him looked young, just like Gu Ping said, his strength was insufficient...... The words that came out could only be used as a reference, and when Emperor Tianlong looked at him, his eyes were dodgy......

It's like nonsense making things up.

Of course, the emperor would not listen to and believe partially, but out of some kind of thought, he called Lin Xitan over again.

When Lin Qiantan heard the emperor's summons, she already had a premonition of what was going on. When he arrived at the door of the imperial study, the little eunuch, who had always had a good relationship with Gu Ping, quickly said a few simple words to Lin Qiantan privately and quickly as a reminder, so that Lin Qiantan knew the situation inside......

Lin Qiantan frowned.

The Baiyun Heavenly Master died at an inopportune time, and the discerning person knew at a glance that someone was stopping him from saying something that he shouldn't have said. Lin Qiantan also focused on him, but ignored the two disciples he left in the palace.

Now these two disciples are talking nonsense and involve her. This Taoist saying is the most ethereal, even if it is refuted, it is not easy to refute. The other party only needs to say that this is God's will, and she doesn't have to say anything.

Concubine Lian had a miscarriage, the death of Baiyun Heavenly Master, and then escaped from the Yin Qiang fire, and the word "Zhou" was mysteriously displayed in the sky in the fire.

There is no doubt that for Emperor Tianlong, these are the things that can provoke his sensitive nerves the most.

Although the little eunuch also gave reassurance, she still had to deal with it carefully.

Coincidentally, Lin Qiantan was just about to go in, but it rained heavily on the night sky outside, which was still clear.

In this way, it can help extinguish the fire in the palace.

Ji Yue and the others were blocked, watching Lin Qiantan walk inside, saying in their hearts that it was impossible not to be anxious and worried.

Especially Ji Yue, she is also the most aware of the strangeness of many of these details.

*

The imperial study is heavy, and ordinary people generally can't go in. In Lin Qiantan's two lives, it was the first time that a big girl went on a sedan chair, and it was the first time she entered such a place.

Compared to the outside world, perhaps the furnishings in the study are more serious. As far as the eye can see, it is bright yellow.

On top of the stacked bookcases, there are neatly stacked countless folding documents.

A table that makes people subconsciously feel majestic and wide just by looking at the shape and outline is being placed in the most conspicuous position as a royal object used by the emperor in his daily office.

In front of the table, there were two rows in a staggered manner, and many adults were standing. The adults didn't look back when they heard someone coming in behind them, but they all glanced down at the pear-yellow pomegranate skirts passing by them, and smelled the faint fragrance of flowers passing by.

The autumn breeze outside the window blew, and the hair rose and even hit a certain old man in the face.

When Lin Qiantan stood still, the little boy of Baiyunguan barely endured the heartbeat of seeing the beautiful girl, and with a clear conscience, he detained this matter on others' heads. He felt a little weak in his heart, and after being looked at by Lin Qiantan for so many times, he was even more ashamed and couldn't raise his head.

Speaking of which, Lin Qiantan also rarely met Emperor Tianlong in the absence of Concubine Xiao. Emperor Tianlong's impression of this little girl was originally more than the seventh lady of the Dongshan Hou Mansion.

Lin Qiantan came from outside the door, and every move made Emperor Tianlong think of the second lady of the Chu family back then.

He knew before that Lin Qiantan looked very similar to her mother, but this time when he looked closely, he would have some feeling of falling into a dream. The same style of clothes, Chu Ling also wore them.

In addition, there were several important ministers to help speak, and Emperor Tianlong didn't embarrass Lin Qiantan much.

Lin Qiantan was in the crowd, and she had already seen several people who had a good relationship with her.

Needless to say, Yin Ren and Gu Ping, Wang Shanya and Chen Rui are also in the queue.

Lin Qiantan thought to herself, it was not in vain that she deliberately dressed herself according to her mother's usual dress back then. This trip to the palace, it was not easy to get in or out, she thought about it, and decided to borrow the influence of her mother.

Even Emperor Tianlong was a little surprised by Lin Qiantan's appearance.

To Lin Qiantan's surprise, Emperor Tianlong would leave her in the imperial study after summoning her to ask some questions, asking her to help serve tea, and did not shy away from letting her hear the important secrets of the court.

Lin Qiantan would not think that because of this, Emperor Tianlong took a fancy to himself and wanted to take away his wife.

Chu Jiang was still standing at the very end of those ministers.

Emperor Tianlong was also on a whim.

Chu Ling in the past, but a woman who brought a storm in the capital. There are many men who like her. Even Emperor Tianlong was not exempt from vulgarity, and there was a little appreciation and admiration from everyone.

The reason why Lin Qiantan was asked to stay was just to make up for the little thoughts in his heart when he was young.

Chu Jiang's face was not very good-looking.

Lin Qiantan was also obedient, and was led by the eunuch to the side room, and she didn't talk much. Only through the curtain of the door to hear the sound of the other side talking.

Even if there are ministers who oppose asking a little girl of his subordinates to listen to military affairs there, there are more important matters that need to be discussed by them at the moment.

Lin Qiantan heard it, and the adults outside said the word "Zhou" that everyone had seen.

This is probably also a reason why Emperor Tianlong was able to let Lin Qiantan go.

The word "Zhou" emerged, and many ministers, including Emperor Tianlong, subconsciously thought that this was a surname.

The surname Zhou is a big surname.

Yin Ren stood at the head of the minister, and he had hardly spoken since Lin Qiantan entered the next room.

The word "Zhou" is the country name reserved for himself when he wears the dragon robe in his mind.

It was rare for him to feel a little excited in his heart, the fire dragon ascended to heaven, and all the dragon heads smelted with gold nuggets under it were suppressed under it, didn't it imply something......

He can think of it, and others can also think of it, so there is a minister talking about the ancient doctrine of the five virtues.

Shang extinguished Xia, it was Jin Kemu. Now that there is a sudden wave of opposition to the imperial court outside, and a fire dragon has appeared in the palace, it can be understood that it is a bad sign of fire and gold.

"Your Majesty, the appearance of this fire dragon now means that there is that rebellion outside is enough to make things happen, and you can't take it lightly......"

"The direction that Baiyun Heavenly Master is pointing to on his deathbed may not be in this palace, isn't this direction pointing to the north?"

“……”

Everyone, you say a word to me, and Emperor Tianlong listens to it.

It is true that the appearance of handwriting in this fire is no accident. This is a warning from heaven, and there should be no mistake.

Since the rebel may be surnamed Zhou, then, as the minister at the bottom said, he should indeed take some action to prevent it from happening......

All of these people who entered the palace today had to keep their mouths shut and must not leak out......

At this time, it was still raining outside the palace. While everyone was talking, they watched as the rain slowly suppressed the firelight that had flickered on the window paper from time to time and in the corner of their eyes.

Not long after outside, a little eunuch came in and said that the fire in the imperial concubine's place had been extinguished by itself.

Emperor Tianlong then ordered someone to choose a temporary palace for Yin Qiang to use as a place to live.

It's still being discussed here, and the things that are yin over there are naturally being taken care of.

Yin Wei was sitting with her.

The two sisters sat opposite each other, but for the first time they were speechless to each other, and Yin Qiang looked at her sister with a cold expression. Yin Wei has suffering and has nowhere to argue.

The variables before and after, even Yin Wei herself thought that it was related to the fact that she had privately ordered the White Cloud Heavenly Master to change her plan. One step at a time, one step at a time.

Yin Qiang didn't listen to her explanations, only knew that she was almost burned to death in the fire, all thanks to her sister: "In the past, my sister underestimated you, for my own sake, I can push my sister out without hesitation and extinguish it!" She said, how could Yin Wei send Lin Bixiang here in a dignified manner, and dared to tell herself to stare at the place and not move around casually, so that it is convenient to start! She knew too many secrets about her, and she wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, and put this pot on Lin Qiantan's head.

A moment before the fire, Lin Bixiang suddenly disappeared, and she didn't know where she went. She was worried about being an aunt, but the people also knew in advance, so they ran away.

Lin Bixiang hasn't come back yet.

It was an eventful time in the palace, Yin Wei looked forward to this not being the time for their sisters to fight, so she just begged her sister to send someone to help her find Lin Bixiang, lest something happen to Lin Bixiang and be calculated by Lin Qiantan's little slut......
