Chapter 108: The Fire
Qiao Yu'an went to protect Grandma Sun secretly, but she didn't expect to see someone sneakily walking outside Grandma Sun's door at night, and when she was about to enter Grandma Sun's room, Qiao Yu'an jumped down from the eaves and directly put his sword against the man's neck.
"Spare your life! I didn't mean to! Not me! The palace maid screamed.
Qiao Yuan did not hesitate, grabbed her and went directly into Grandma Sun's room, and saw that Grandma Sun was still sleeping, so she hurriedly stepped forward to test whether Grandma Sun still had a pulse, and sure enough, Grandma Sun's body was already cold, and she had already encountered an accident.
Qiao Yu Anxin thought, "It's broken! He immediately took this palace maid to find Zhuo Yu.
"Zhuo Yu, Grandma Sun has already encountered an accident." Qiao Yuan said.
"Sure enough, this grandma must have seen something that shouldn't be seen, which led to the disaster of killing, but I didn't expect to take precautions, but I didn't stop the other party." Zhuo Yu said solemnly.
"Zhuo Yu, I was guarding at Grandma Sun's place, and when I saw this palace maid sneaking around, I stopped her." Qiao Yuan said,
"Bring her up!" Zhuo Yu hurriedly said.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty's forgiveness! Slaves don't know anything, Your Majesty! The palace maid said aggrievedly.
"If you confess honestly, I will spare your life and protect you, if not, I will send you to the Criminal Division and find someone to pry your mouth open." Zhuo Yu threatened.
"Your Majesty, the two palace maids who died are good friends of the slave maids, and the three of us entered the palace together, although they are not biological but like sisters, and those two have been serving the queen mother. The three of us were talking well the night before, but they didn't expect to have an accident the next day......" The palace maid couldn't help crying when she said this, and continued,
"The slave maid heard that Grandma Sun was the first to see them today, and there were many people during the day, so I was afraid that it would be inconvenient, so I thought of asking at night, but I was misunderstood by the Qiao guards."
"You mean those two have been in the Queen Mother's palace before?" Zhuo Yu asked.
"Yes, I've been there since I entered the palace." The maid replied.
"Then what was unusual about the two of them two days before the accident?" Zhuo Yu asked curiously.
"There was nothing out of the ordinary, just that the night before the two of them had an accident, they should have come back early to rest, but they never did. The slave maid heard that the Queen Mother had a cold in the past two days, thinking that the two of them might have been serving the Queen Mother, but this happened the next day. The palace maid replied honestly.
Zhuo Yu looked at this palace maid, and it didn't seem like she was lying. If what this palace maid said is indeed true, then these two palace maids must have suddenly encountered something, which led to the murder. As for Grandma Sun, she didn't tell the truth at the time, so it can be seen that she should have found something else at the scene.
Qiao Yu'an, send the secret guard to search Grandma Sun's residence, and also search her body, and hand over anything suspicious.
"Yes." Qiao Yuan said.
"Your Majesty! Big things are wrong! The palace is watery! Xiao Quanzi said anxiously.
"Not good! Joe Yu'an! Hurry up and put out the fire! Zhuo Yu felt bad in his heart.
The place where the water was walked this time was not elsewhere, it was the residence of Grandma Sun. When everyone found out, the fire here was already very dangerous, and ordinary people didn't dare to approach it at all.
Princess Jinghe also responded and hid in Zhuo Yu's own palace. Qiao Yuan led his subordinates to extinguish the fire until dawn.
This time the fire burned very quickly, and it was about to burn to the queen mother's bedroom. Zhuo Siyi and the Queen Mother also hurriedly hid in the distant dormitory, but fortunately, everyone was almost safe.
As soon as the morning dawned, Yu Chi Jin and Situ Ji also rushed to the palace, and they were relieved to see that Zhuo Yu was fine. Zhuo Yu received the palace maid directly into his palace and became his personal palace maid, and she usually slept in the palace, in order to protect her safety.
Zhuo Yu also told everything about Grandma Sun and the palace maid, including her abnormality in her opinion.
"Zhuo Yu, you asked me to check the eldest princess, I already have some eyebrows." Situ said.
"What is unusual or behaving about her?" Zhuo Yu asked.
"During the time when the eldest princess was in Luoyang, it seemed that she was staying there well, but in fact, she had been secretly gathering her own strength, and she herself had a group of loyal dead soldiers who were dedicated to doing things for her." Szeto said:
During her time in Luoyang, she gathered many forces, and if anyone did not listen to her or refused to join her, she sent a dead soldier to kill them. Presumably, the person Mo Yu met on the road at the beginning was killed because he didn't cooperate with the eldest princess. ”
"I knew that Zhuo Siyi was very insidious, but I didn't expect to be so ruthless!" Zhuo Yu said, sure enough, women are the most powerful people in the world.
"Zhuo Yu, there is one more thing." Yu Chi Jin said.
"Zhuo Siyi knows some evil arts, and has the means to control people's hearts, you said that the Queen Mother is a little abnormal, I am worried that the Queen Mother has been controlled by Zhuo Siyi."
"Although the Bai family has fallen, the Queen Mother still has a part of the Praetorian Guards in her hands, and she also has supporters in the court." Zhuo Yu said.
"I guess what she wants is the military power in the hands of the Queen Mother." Situ said.
"This matter needs to be considered in the long run, and it should not be taken lightly." Yu Chi Jin said.
Qiao Yu'an also came back disgraced, extinguished the fire all night, and his face was black.
"Oh my mom, I'm going to faint!" Qiao Yu'an shouted as soon as he came in.
"Brother Yu'an, it's really hard for you, I'll give you a stable hug!" Situ said.
"It's not messy enough for you to stay away from me." Qiao Yuan immediately hid to the side.
"There are no unnecessary casualties in the palace for the time being, the fire has been extinguished, there is no major problem, but it has to be renovated at some cost." Qiao Yuan said.
"It's okay, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem." Zhuo Yu said generously.
"I'll go to sleep first, I can't stand it." After saying that, Qiao Yuan walked less than two steps and fell asleep directly, and got up in less than five seconds after snoring.
"Situ Shu, you can pull him to you to sleep for a while." Zhuo Yu said.
"Okay." Situ Ji struggled to lift Qiao Yuan up from the ground, and called two more people to pull Qiao Yuan away.
"In two days, the mage of the Western Regions will come to see you, and you must take care of your safety now." Yu Chi Jin said.
"Oh, but that day, I saw you and Zhuo Siyi eyebrows, what were you talking about at that time?" Zhuo Yu couldn't help but ask. She had been thinking about it for days, and finally got the chance to ask.
"Your Majesty, are you jealous?" Yu Chijin asked.
"That's a must, no one wants to touch you!" Zhuo Yu said with a big grin.
