Chapter 157 │ Chenghe
In November, it was early winter in the blink of an eye, and the palace was covered with a thin layer of white snow up and down, with clusters of red plums, and a piece of ice and snow outside the window.
This year's winter seems to be much earlier than before, Jiang Qingluo felt extremely cold when he stayed in the palace, so he simply waived the greeting on the fifteenth day of the new year, and held a warm stove in the Fuling Palace alone, ate snacks, and drank hot tea, but Wen Yu had no news for a long time, and Jiang Qingluo was also very worried.
On the first day of the lunar month, when the heavy snow stopped at dusk, Ouyang Yunshu came to Fuling Palace, but the news was not about Wen Yu, but he was the first to tell Jiang Qingluo that Mu Wuchen came back to Changling.
Jiang Qingluo was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't have the heart to inquire about anything else, he just asked Ouyang Yunshu, "How is Wen Yu?" Is it going well in Yue's house? ”
"Don't worry," Ouyang Yunshu said, "Half a year ago, Wen Yu assumed the name Yu'er and has been in the Yucheng jewelry shop, that jewelry shop is often visited by Mrs. Yue, three months ago, Mrs. Yue was optimistic about Wen Yu, I heard that it is the distant cousin of the shopkeeper's mother's family in the mountains, and she looks good and does things neatly, Mrs. Yue bought people back and took them by her side, in the past two months, Yue Wenshan has gone to Mrs. Yue's room a few more times, I guess, it is to look at Mrs. Yue's room, there are more people, a moment of freshness, a few more trips, Wen Yu also had a few words with Yue Wenshan. ”
Jiang Qingluo listened, nodded and said, "It's good to be safe......"
While he was talking, a noisy voice suddenly came from outside, and a palace maid ran in and said, "Oh no, no, Chenghe Palace is gone..."
"Gone out of the water?" Jiang Qingluo immediately got up when he heard this, looked out the window and saw Yun Yun hurriedly running in and said, "Miss is not good, the Chenghe Palace where Yue Chang is is in the water is gone, and the fire is very big." ”
**When Le heard that it was Yue Linglong's palace, he suddenly became suspicious in his heart, but he also asked, "Have you ever gone to put out the fire?" ”
"Go, the palace guards and eunuchs have gone to put out the fire." Yun Yun said, Jiang Qingluo nodded and said, "Let's go, go and see." ”
Above Chenghe Palace, the flames were soaring, and Ouyang Yunshu followed and asked, "Do you need me to help?" ”
Jiang Qingluo saw the figure of Huangfu Qiansheng flashing by in the firelight, so he stopped Ouyang Yunshu and said, "Don't worry about it first, you go back and rest early." ”
Ouyang Yunshu was also not polite, and went out of the palace after listening, and Huangfu Qiansheng passed through the firelight, fell on the eaves of the backyard, and saw the doors and windows that were originally locked by himself by the firelight, and were knocked open by Yue Linglong, after breaking out of the window, seeing that the fire behind him was too big, Yue Linglong couldn't help but catch the branches in the courtyard to dodge, Huangfu Qiansheng saw her directly volleyed into the air, stepped lightly on the plum tree on the side, and escaped directly from the back door.
All this is unaware, but Huangfu Qiansheng is a little surprised, this light skill is really not an overnight effort, and there are even some Taoism, it turns out that what the eldest princess is worried about is true, this Yue Linglong is really not a good stubble, and can hide it for two or three years without revealing any traces.
However, Yue Linglong escaped but did not go far, but hid in a corner of the palace wall and choked on smoke for a while, before staggering out, going around and directly bumping into Jiang Qingluo at the palace gate, and immediately knelt down and cried: "Eldest princess, concubine, you are here, is there someone who wants to kill the concubine, how can there be such a big fire......
Jiang Qingluo helped her and said: "Yue Changzai doesn't have to worry, so let's go back to the Fuling Palace in the main palace first, let the imperial doctor give you a good look, don't hurt anywhere, after this fire is extinguished, the palace must be carefully investigated, and take Yue Changzai back to the Fuling Palace first, and have a good rest." ”
After that, Tong Yun took someone back, Jiang Qingluo looked at the fire that had been almost extinguished, revealing a ruin, this situation and this scene, like the fire in Fuling Palace, after a while, Huangfu Qiansheng came from behind Jiang Qingluo, Jiang Qingluo glanced at her and said, "You put it?" ”
Huangfu Qiansheng nodded: "This is faster and more accurate." ”
"So?" Jiang Qingluo looked at her, saw Huangfu Qiansheng nodded, and said firmly: "Eldest princess, what you suspected before, it's all right, don't worry, this fire can't kill anyone, I just concocted the fire in the Fuling Palace in the same way, and I can't get rid of it with sweat medicine or something." ”
Jiang Qingluo nodded and said, "Thank you." ”
On the way back to Fuling Palace, Jiang Qingluo thought about it again, Yue Linglong did hide her martial arts, but she never revealed it, so she could indeed shuttle freely in the harem without being noticed, this is a confirmation of the past, so today's fire can't be let go in vain......
On the other side, Tong Yun took Yue Linglong back to Fuling Palace, and the imperial doctor came to diagnose and treat, but he just choked a few more cigarettes, and there was no physical injury, Tong Yun sent tea over and said: "Always be careful, it's winter now, the weather is dry, and it is inevitable that there will be a fire, so let's drink hot tea first to suppress the shock." ”
Yue Linglong took it and said with teary eyes: "Thank you, Miss Yunyun, I'm still here at such a late hour, I don't have anything to do here, Miss Yunyun should go back to serve the eldest princess first." ”
Yun Yun listened and said with a smile: "Chang Zai is welcome, the last time there was a fire in Fuling Palace, it was repaired for a month or two after it was rebuilt, Chang Zai had to wait until it was rebuilt, and then moved back, it is better to rest temporarily in Fuling Palace, there are many people in Fuling Palace, and many are lively, and it seems not so lonely in winter, otherwise the eldest princess will say that this palace is empty." ”
Yue Linglong nodded suspiciously after hearing this, and after a while, Jiang Qingluo came back, came to the side hall, and saw Yue Linglong sitting on the edge of the bed, and didn't seem to be injured.
When Yue Linglong saw it, she immediately got up and said, "The concubine has seen the eldest princess......"
"Get up," Jiang Qingluo smiled slightly, "I met the imperial doctor just now, and told the palace that you are fine, but you are frightened, and it is good to recuperate, but the burning in your palace is really ugly, and the fire is also strange, but it is like the fire in the Fuling Palace in the past, which makes people look at it and be afraid, you simply live in the palace for a while, and then move back after the palace is repaired." ”
After Yue Linglong heard this, she had to bow her head and say, "Concubine, thank you eldest princess..."
Jiang Qingluo said: "Alas, I don't know what evil was recruited in this winter, this fire burned Fuling Palace, it actually burned your palace, after the New Year, I have to let the mage come to see what the reason is, speaking of which, could it be because of the tragic death of the concubine in the cold palace, and I want to deliberately retaliate?" ”
Yue Linglong was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then whispered: "But the eldest princess...... It's not that the concubine Niangniang was ...... by Xu Guiren at that time Is this the one who died tragically in the cold palace? This...... What do you have to do with concubines? ”
Jiang Qingluo nodded thoughtfully and said, "Yes, what do you have to do with it?" ”
