Chapter 71: The scenery is beautiful tonight
He changed into civilian clothes and took a carriage to the Wen Restaurant.
is still in that room, Ji Xuanyuan is still sitting alone in front of the desk, holding a copy of "Rich Collection" in his hand.
This book records the ups and downs of the Xue family over the years.
Xue Qian got straight to the point: "What does Tianji Valley want?" ”
Ji Xuanyuan closed the book: "It's not that I want anything, but whether Lord Xue wants to save your daughter?" ”
"If I ask for nothing, how will you help me."
Ji Xuanyuan smiled: "Even if Lord Xue doesn't come to me, he has his own way, but it will endanger the family, but is the current person of the Xue family still worthy of your protection?" ”
Xue Qian was silent for a while, Ji Xuanyuan was unfathomable, and from his words, he knew that he already knew everything about the situation of the Xue family.
"We're not there yet."
"I can get her out, I can heal the wounds on her face, and I can even give her a new identity and let her follow you."
"What do you need me to do?"
"You just need to ......"
It wasn't until the moon appeared that Xue Qian left the Wen Restaurant.
"Master, is it so easy for him to listen to you?" Merlin appeared in the private room, leaning against the door.
"Of course—no."
"Then you still talk to him so much, don't be afraid that he will turn back."
"What are you afraid of, when he is forced to be anxious, he can only listen to me obediently." Ji Xuanyuan got up and stretched.
It was impossible for him to hide the meeting with Xue Qian today from Chu Heng, and he didn't want to hide it.
"Master, Mo Xuan hasn't heard from me yet, or I'll look for it."
"You don't need to go, he'll come to Kyoto in a few days."
In the Ziyang Palace, Chu Heng looked at the news in his hand, and was puzzled in his heart, Ji Xuanyuan, a lonely minister, was about to start forming a party for personal gain? actually met with Xue Qian secretly.
The Xue family's sky-high wealth has always been coveted by him, but Xue Qian, as the head of the family, serves as the head of the household department, and can also distinguish the family affairs from the state affairs and guard the property for the family.
War is about to break out, and it's time to use money.
just used Xue Fuyin's matter to make him comply.
But the truth is still important, who killed Zhao Xinran?
Under the cover of night, in the palace, there was a figure back and forth from the palace.
Su Qingwan was removing her earrings when she heard footsteps behind her, saw the person's appearance in the mirror, and smiled: "The emperor is here, why don't you let people report in advance, and the concubines should prepare early." ”
She got up and saluted and approached Chu Heng.
Chu Heng's face was calm, and his eyes looking at her were full of elegance: "You and Zhao Xinran are not on good terms, did you kill her?" ”
"Huh?"
Su Qingwan was stunned for a moment.
Then he turned cold: "The emperor is suspicious of the concubine, since the emperor gave the concubine to death, it turns out that I am such a ruthless woman in your eyes, what is the point of living like this." ”
Chu Heng's eyebrows twisted: "Why are you still in a hurry, I just asked you." ”
Su Qingwan said angrily: "Yes, it is a matter of one sentence for the emperor, but in the ears of the concubines, my heart is like a knife, my beloved doubts me for other women, this is something I never thought of." ”
The more she spoke, the more she felt aggrieved, her expression was miserable, and she swore to the sky: "If Zhao Xinran is killed by me, I will teach me that the five thunders will not die well!" ”
Chu Heng's suspicions about her were gone, and before he came here, he thought of what Xue Qian said during the day, who seemed to be innocent of suspicion must be the murderer.
"Okay, okay, how could I doubt you, just now I was not good, I said the wrong thing."
"Hmph."
"Concubine Ai is going to rest, I will remove your makeup."
"Don't bother the emperor, the emperor still goes to accompany the queen's sister, she is weak, if you don't take care of it, you will not feel at ease."
When it came to accompanying the queen, Chu Heng was a little impatient, today in Chaofeng Palace, Tang Xinrou complained to him again, saying that he would kill Xue Fuyin and strictly investigate the palaces.
Seeing him hesitating, Su Qingwan persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, you go and accompany the queen, compare your heart to your heart, if I am sick one day, I also hope that the emperor can be by my side, even if I just sit and chat, I feel happy." ”
Chu Heng had never seen such a sensible woman, and when she thought about it, she was right, if only the women around him thought like her.
Unfortunately, there are always those who are not satisfied.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, Changding Palace is gone."
Chu Heng was just about to leave when he heard a noise outside the door.
Su Qingwan was stunned: "Changding Palace, isn't that where Concubine Xue lives?" ”
Chu Heng frowned: "You are resting in the palace, don't run around, I'm afraid someone will set it on fire." ”
Su Qingwan shouted behind him, "Your Majesty, be careful. ”
Changding Palace is not far from her side, and the fire is now soaring into the sky, reflecting half of the sky, and everyone in the palace outside can see it.
Su Qingwan walked out of the dormitory and leaned against the railing to look at the fiery red sky to the south.
"Bright as the morning glow, the streamer is flying, there was Linhua Hall in the past, and now it is Changding Palace."
The scenery was beautiful tonight, and she wanted to celebrate with a drink.
Outside the Changding Palace, the palace people carried wooden barrels in and out, but because the fire was too big, they couldn't contain the fire even if they tried their best.
When Chu Heng arrived, tongues of fire rolled up inside and outside the Changding Palace, and the red flames engulfed the entire palace, and no one could enter.
"Where's Xue Fuyin?" Chu Henghe asked.
"Xue Niangniang failed to come out, this fire was put by Niangniang." The little eunuch of Changding Palace replied.
"If she sets fire, you won't know how to stop it! A bunch of rubbish! Chu Heng kicked him down, and the little eunuch spat blood, and then he lost his breath.
This thing is too strange, how could Xue Fuyin kill herself, someone set up a bureau to save her.
"Sui'an, send someone to investigate the harem, but if you find a suspicious person, you will be killed."
Lin Luoshu hurriedly came and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, the end will be late." ”
"That's how you guard the court, and I'm so disappointed in you! Find out who set the fire, and I will spare you! Chu Heng was really angry this time.
It's nothing to dare to kill someone in the cold palace, but setting fire to the Changding Palace is a great disrespect to him.
At dawn, Changding Palace burned to the point that only a ruin remained.
And in Sui'an, they didn't find anything.
It was as if the person who set the fire was really Xue Fuyin.
But how could a person with a broken finger make the whole palace burn, and there were no wine or oil stains, how could it burn so big.
The eunuchs and palace maids in Changding Palace all insisted that it was Xue Concubine herself who lit the dormitory with a candle.
I never saw anyone else.
But he didn't believe it.
Chu Heng sat on the carved armchair with a gloomy face, and the queen stood aside, also gloomy.
After going around and checking for so long, I finally went around to the queen.
Chu Heng said angrily: "You set fire to Changding Palace, are you venting your anger, or are you slapping me in the face!" ”
Tang Xinrou was aggrieved in her heart: "I said that I didn't set the fire, how can you believe me?" ”
Chu Heng smiled cruelly: "Believe you? Then you can tell me why you didn't rest in the palace last night, but ran to Changding Palace! Say! ”
