This Feiyun Tower is a wooden structure, and the weather is cold and dry, so it burns vigorously as soon as it is ignited, and the fire is out of control.

At this time, Xuan Ling and Tong Gonggong rushed together.

The fire was very large, and everyone brought water from the lake to extinguish the fire, but it didn't help at all, and in the blink of an eye, Feiyun Tower didn't enter a sea of fire, and none of the paintings inside were saved.

The people retreated to the lake.

A moment later, the Feiyun Tower collapsed with a thud.

The muscles on Xuan Ling's face were distorted, his eyes were red, his body couldn't help shaking, and he said angrily: "What, what's the matter, who set the fire!" ”

The two guards were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and one of them stammered and pointed at Yue'er: "No, I don't know, as soon as this lady goes upstairs, it will catch fire!" ”

Yue'er also fell to her knees.

"The concubine wanted to walk casually, but when she came to the second floor, as soon as she pushed the door, there was a fire inside!"

"Who else has been to Feiyun Tower today!"

Xuan Ling asked the two guards guarding the fence sharply.

"No one has been here today, from morning to now, only the emperor is here!"

Xuan Ling glared at Yue'er and shouted: "How is it possible, as soon as you enter, the fire will burn, and say, did you put it!" "He almost flew into a rage.

"Your Majesty is angry, the concubines have no reason to set fire at all, please Your Majesty be clear!"

Yue'er knew that she was framed, but she had no evidence to prove her innocence, so she shouldn't have gone upstairs alone to push the door.

Treasures of the ages, destroyed in one fell swoop.

Xuan Ling looked at the burned Feiyun Tower, and suddenly sat on the ground and cried.

At this time, Mr. Mi came behind Xuan Ling and knelt down together and cried bitterly.

It wasn't until Feiyun Tower burned to ashes that Xuan Ling stopped crying, and he looked at Yue'er, his eyes bloodshot.

"They all say that you are an ominous person, I don't believe it, and now I believe it, is this matter a matter of revenge on me for snubbing you for more than a year?"

"Your Majesty, why did you say this, the concubine is really wronged, this, this must be someone deliberately framing the concubine!"

"Oh, you said someone deliberately framed you, but what about the evidence?"

Yue'er kowtowed again and again, and said, "Your Majesty, can this matter be handed over to the concubine to investigate, I will definitely find out the real culprit and give you an explanation!" ”

Xuan Ling's voice was cold.

"How long are you going to be, check it out for me now, I can't find it, hum-"

Yue'er didn't know how long it would take for her, she was determined, she knew that she must not mess up at this moment, the guards of the Imperial Painting Academy were so strict, ordinary people would definitely leave traces if they wanted to come in, she walked in front of the two guards and asked, "Only a few of us came to Feiyun Tower today, what about yesterday, from last night to this morning?" ”

One of the guards thought for a moment.

"No one has entered Feiyun Tower in the past two days, except for the maid who cleans it."

"Who and when did they clean it?"

"Yesterday evening, there were two people, Tong Wei and Ai Tao."

"Where are they, go and call them!"

A guard hurriedly ran to call someone, and a young man in the crowd was thoughtful, it was Meng Xi who was grinding stones just now.

A moment later the guard hurried with a maid, and the two of them came near and fell to their knees.

"Why is there only one person?"

Yue'er frowned.

"Your Majesty and Niangniang, Tong Wei asked for leave after cleaning yesterday, and she won't come back until tomorrow."

"Who was the last to leave Feiyun Tower yesterday?"

"It's us, but after I came out, Tong Wei said that he forgot to take something, and went up alone."

"Where she lives, find it right away!"

"Yes, yes—"

The guard ran out again.

At this time, Meng Xi was in the crowd.

"Your Majesty, the minister can help Concubine Duan Niangniang find out this case!"

"Oh, how do you check, how long will it take?"

Meng Xi took a deep look and said, "It won't be long before the minister doesn't know who the arsonist is, but His Majesty may know!" ”

Mr. Mi sneered, and Xuan Ling's face became gloomy.

"Meng Xi, what do you mean by this, if Your Majesty knows, how can you condone this matter?"

Meng Xi ignored Mr. Mi and said to Xuan Ling: "The minister thinks that this arson is man-made!" ”

"Of course it's man-made!"

"The minister thought that the arsonist was thoughtful and premeditated, and it should not be a temporary idea, and he missed it for a while."

"How so?"

"Feiyun Tower is so big, it is not easy to burn it down at once, so this fire should be sprinkled with sulfur and other flammable things, otherwise it is impossible to have no chance of extinguishing it!"

This sentence immediately reminded Yue'er.

"Yes, I just smelled a strange smell before I pushed the door, it must be sulfur, because as soon as the door opened, it immediately caught fire!"

Meng Xi nodded and said: "According to Xiao Chen's speculation, this arsonist has already found out the work and rest time of Feiyun Tower, she has incense hanging on the door, whoever pushes the door, the incense head falls, and the sulfur sprinkled on the ground can be lit!" ”

Xuan Ling was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you saying that someone deliberately framed Concubine Duan, is there any evidence?" ”

Meng Xi was confident, pointed to Yue'er's hair bun and said: "Look, the incense ash on Niangniang's head is evidence, she said earlier that as soon as she pushed the door, it was immediately on fire, and it was clear that the incense fell to the ground and ignited the sulfur, and the incense burned overnight, and the incense ash naturally piled up a lot, so it fell on her head!" ”

Master Ze also nodded and said: "Yes, this is an ingenious mechanism, Niangniang was there just now, and there is no incense ash on her head, I can testify to this!" ”

At this moment, everyone was suddenly, and Father-in-law Tong hurriedly stepped forward to check the ash on Yue'er's bun, and he took a pinch with his fingers and put it on the tip of his nose to carefully identify it.

Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, this young man named Meng Xi looked cold, she couldn't imagine that she was so wise, if it weren't for him today, I was afraid that it would be difficult for me to get rid of suspicion.

"Your Majesty, this, this is really incense ash, and this incense seems to have been smelled in the palace!"

Xuan Ling showed a suspicious look, he is a master of smelling incense, and many of the incense in the palace were ordered by him, and he also took a pinch on Yue'er's head at the moment, and put it under his nose to smell it carefully.

"This, this is the royal perilla incense, the taste is special, only a few concubines in the palace have it!"

Xuan Ling's face was shocked, he knew that the perilla incense was particularly resistant to burning, and it could be ordered for a day and a night, but it was difficult to refine, so it was rare, and he hadn't seen the incense ash on Yue'er's head before.

Meng Xi said: "I am familiar with the work and rest of Feiyun Tower, and I know His Majesty's habits, and I can also use the perilla incense in the palace, although the minister doesn't know who this person is, I think the emperor has already understood, and this is what the minister said just now." ”

Xuan Ling's face twitched.

Father-in-law Tong asked cautiously: "It can't be Lin Zhaoyi, right?" ”

Xuan Ling clenched his fists and roared violently: "If it wasn't Lin Zhaoyi, who else would it be, she specially made mung bean cake today and sent it to the imperial chariot, which is obviously to inquire about my whereabouts, okay, very good, I spoil her so much, but I haven't been to see her for three days, she is so frustrated, someone is coming-"

"In!"

The two guards immediately fell to their knees.

"Drive back to the palace and go to the Daisy Palace, I am going to personally try this case now, did she do this!"

Yue'er hurriedly said: "Wait, that Tong Wei hasn't been caught yet, Your Majesty went to the Daisy Hall like this, and there is no evidence!" ”

"Catch that Tong Wei and bring it into the palace immediately, and I will interrogate him personally!"

"Yes—"

After Xuan Ling finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out, Yue'er followed behind, now she didn't catch Tong Huan, if Lin Zhaoyi and Tong Huan didn't have contact, she could push it clean, in today's battle, if she can't defeat Lin Zhaoyi, the situation will be very dangerous.

Along the way, Xuan Ling's mood slowly calmed down, and his face was a little cloudy.

Yue'er said secretly: "If it is really confirmed that Lin Zhaoyi did it, what will the emperor do, can he do it?" Lin Zhaoyi hurt her twice, each time more deadly than the last, she could hide from the first day of junior high school, but she couldn't hide from the fifteenth, so today Yue'er made up her mind to pull her down.

The Imperial Rim went straight to the Daisy Hall.

The door of the Daisy Hall was already open, and Xuan Ling had just taken Yue'er to get out of the palace, when he saw Lin Zhaoyi kneeling at the door with a few palace maids and eunuchs, obviously they had been summoned that the emperor was going to come to the Daisy Palace.

When Lin Zhaoyi saw Xuan Ling, she immediately cried profusely.

"Your Majesty, wronged, wronged, the concubine heard that there was a fire in the collection of paintings in the Imperial Painting Academy, and someone framed it was the concubine, please Your Majesty must investigate this matter thoroughly, and return Tingting to a clean house!"
