The interaction between the master and servant made the four princes happy, but Jiang Yingli asked in a sinister manner: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, I heard some rumors, is something wrong with the imperial concubine?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was cold for a moment.

Jiang Yingli subconsciously looked at the fourth prince, but found that the latter's face was slightly gloomy, and she secretly said in her heart that it was not good, and sure enough, the fourth prince said coldly: "What do you want her to do?" Let's talk about this calligraphy and painting. As he spoke, he prepared to sit down.

Who knew that Jiang Yingli did not give up, approached the fourth prince and asked: "Your Royal Highness the fourth prince, just say, what happened to the imperial concubine?" ”

"You're not done!"

The fourth prince suddenly stood up and spoke in a displeased tone.

Seeing his sudden black face, Jiang Yingli was obviously frightened and froze in place for a while.

The fourth prince didn't want to be angry with Jiang Yinglian, but he couldn't control his temper, so he simply threw his sleeves and left angrily when he was upset.

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

Jiang Yingliang pretended to chase a few steps, and it was not until the back of the fourth prince disappeared that she withdrew her hand, the doubts on her face dissipated, and she turned her head and smiled at Yunzhu: "How is it, the acting is good, right?" ”

Yunzhu gave her a thumbs up, then covered her mouth and smiled.

"The weather is dry, beware of the fire candle - the weather is dry, beware of the fire candle ......"

A man's voice rang out in the street at midnight, and a gong in his hand was also ringing from time to time.

He yawned as he walked, and complained in a complaining tone: "I don't know how long this job will take, my brother is really, I don't know why he has to do this work when he comes out in the middle of the night, what if he hits a ghost in the middle of the night?" ”

The man muttered to himself while staring cautiously at the dark street, but fortunately there were some sparse stars tonight, so that he could not see anything, and if it was usual, he would have come out with a lantern.

However, suddenly he stopped, wrinkled his nose with a subtle expression, and took two sharp breaths: "What does this smell like?" It's like something is burnt. ”

After speaking, his face changed greatly, and he looked left and right: "It can't be where the fire is on, right?" It's said that the sky is dry, the sky is dry, how can it still ......"

Suddenly, his words stopped abruptly, and he looked in one direction in a daze—

"Oh my God! It's really on fire! ”

He sighed after looking at it for a long time, and at this time there was a fire in his eyes—it was the direction of the palace.

At this time, a certain part of the palace was on fire, and bursts of sparks were floating in the air, wasn't it on fire?

The man who played the shift was inexperienced, he was just a substitute, and after panicking for a while, he shouted directly: "It's on fire, it's on fire!" ”

The residents around him were woken up one after another, struggling to get up from their sweet sleep, but when they heard the word fire, they couldn't sleep anymore.

After a burst of chaotic footsteps sounded, they each lit the lamp and opened the window, and then found a group of people downstairs.

The man pointed in the direction of the palace: "The palace is on fire." ”

Only then did everyone look in the direction of the palace in surprise.

"Good fellow, that's a big fire."

"Yes, the fire is so strong, I don't know if the palace can save the fire."

Over the walls,

Over the many pavilions,

In the end, a sea of fire caught my eye......

"What are you doing? Fill this bucket with it! ”

A eunuch with a black face stuffed the barrel in his hand into the hands of a new eunuch.

The little eunuch took it, and then nodded hurriedly, the burning heat on his face made him dare not stay any longer: "Go here and go!" ”

He glanced at the still burning house, didn't dare to be sloppy any longer, turned around and staggered away.

Seeing this, the eunuch who stuffed him with a bucket gritted his teeth and went to fill a bucket again, and threw himself into the fire one by one.

The shouts of the palace maids and the angry scolding of the eunuchs appeared in the burning courtyard one after another, and there was a burst of chaos, and the flames and people began a lasting confrontation.

It wasn't until the sky gradually turned white that the fire came to an end.

"Shhh

The palace maids and eunuchs at the fire were all embarrassed, their hair was burned, their faces were black for a while, and some of the eunuchs and palace maids had already burned half of their bodies, and they were carried to the hospital in blood at this time.

This fire was known to everyone who lived close to the palace, and the next morning, the fire in the palace spread throughout the capital.

The streets began to be lively, and people who had slept all night went to the streets, and after hearing the news, the whole capital was talking about the fire in the palace.

At this time, the teahouse inn is the most lively, just because of the mouth of the storyteller.

"Smack-" sounded, and the startled wood fell.

The storyteller looked at everyone present with a serious face: "Don't you know that there is a flame falling directly in the palace, do you know where that place is?" ”

The audience looked at each other, and then shook their heads honestly: "I don't know, you know." ”

The storyteller smiled proudly: "I know that the place where the flame fell is a remote courtyard not far from the concubine falling into the water!" ”

He paused and continued: "But this fire doesn't fall elsewhere, why does it fall so close to the concubine?" Isn't it because of the concubine? The concubine fell into the water a few days ago, this matter is not trivial, I am afraid that there is a villain persecution, the concubine is the emperor's favorite concubine, the emperor is now unconscious, I am afraid that it is a fugue outside the world, and has complained to the heavens, someone took advantage of his sleep to persecute his concubine in the palace, so the sky sent the god of fire down to find out the reason, to find the villain to take revenge. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

The storyteller's words flew all over the capital as if he had grown wings, and people were panicked for a while.

The emperor is now seriously ill, and there are small people making trouble in the palace, which affects more than one or two, and one stone stirs up a thousand waves, not only the people of the capital know, but the ears of the ministers in the capital are also spiritual, and they naturally know.

After a minister got the news, he hurried to the imperial study, only to find that he had arrived a little late, and the imperial study was already full of people.

He didn't dare to attract attention, and after quietly entering, he stood on the periphery and looked at his colleague with a serious look and asked, "What's the matter?" Why are they all here? ”

The minister booed him and said solemnly, "I'm afraid it's not good today." ”

"Smack-"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud slap on the table interrupted his words, and the minister quickly shut up with a solemn expression, and the new minister also quickly restrained his expression.

"What bastard? There are such rumors in the capital, are you all eating dry rice? Why not stop it? What is called a small troublemaker in the capital, I am in charge of the capital, there are still such rumors spread, quickly seal those teahouses and inns to me, if someone chews the root of the tongue, drag it directly to the entrance of the vegetable market - ask and behead! ”

The four princes slapped the table angrily, and then pointed at the surrounding ministers and scolded bitterly.
