Chapter 40: The Final Glimpse

Emperor Hong Zheng saw that Gu Fanghua insisted on not leaving, and he was not reluctant, but said to Yan Shaoxun: "Xiao Wu, I heard that you made a good word in Zuiyue Building today, go back and copy a copy, and let people send it to the imperial study." ”

Yan Shaoxun was overjoyed and said respectfully: "Yes, father." ”

After Emperor Hong Zheng and Empress Jiang left, Gu Fanghua and Yan Rongling knelt side by side on the brocade mat, and Aunt Dongchun came in to personally inspect Shi Xuan, so she knelt in the back.

"All the minions of the Taimiao have been taken away?"

Dongchun replied: "Yes, county lord, ten people have been temporarily transferred from the Huanyi Bureau. ”

Gu Fanghua glanced at Yan Rongling, and asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything just now?" ”

Dongchun glanced at Xiao Chengzi and Ying'er, who were standing outside the door, and ordered: "Ying'er, leave Xiao Chengzi to serve, you go and help clean up." ”

After Ying'er and the other palace people retreated, Dong Chun reported: "It is very likely that Ding Hai is the one who strangled Wang to manage things." Moreover, the slave also found that the slave who was in charge of burning paper today seemed to have swallowed something and had been in great pain. ”

Gu Fanghua said curiously: "Aunt Dongchun, why do you think it's Ding Hai?" ”

"Just now, the slave maid learned that Ding Hai had done it in the Yingji Division before, and it was said that his left hand hurt his middle finger. The strangulation marks on Steward Wang's neck are obviously much lighter than the middle finger marks on his left hand. ”

Dong Chun replied carefully, Yan Rongling listened thoughtfully, turned his head and asked Gu Fanghua: "Mingzhu, do you think if you don't want to burn the paper, what will he do when the slave comes to burn the paper?" ”

"Thunderball!"

Yan Rongling and Gu Fanghua said in unison, among the firearms of the Great Zhou, the most powerful is the thunderbolt.

The thunderbolt is powerful, and if you wait for the paper to burn, the minion throws a thunderbolt into the clear oil of the stone. Yan Rongling, who was kneeling next to him, was disfigured and injured at best, and was killed on the spot.

Gu Fanghua's face was gloomy, in the previous life, there was no such thing at all.

Is it because he knelt for a day and a night in the previous life, so the other party didn't do it? Or did Steward Wang not die in the previous life, and this didn't happen at all?

Yan Rongling was also thinking quickly in his heart, who wanted to kill him?

Gu Fanghua sighed: "If the original people of Taimiao are still there, I know who has been here today." From the time the emperor's uncle knelt to the time we came, it was not long, and that person must have come to the Taimiao to report the news. ”

Dongchun said in a low voice: "Even if it is found out, it will be too late, this person must be gone unexpectedly." ”

Yan Rongling sighed and said: "This can't be done, only when I can be crowned a king and build a mansion at the age of eighteen, can I really stay away from danger." ”

Sure enough, when Gu Fanghua returned to Cining Palace, he heard that a eunuch had suddenly died in three palaces. It just happened that they were all people who had been to Taimiao today, and they were confused for a while.

After finishing grooming, lying on the bed, looking at Danzhu, whose steps were slightly stiff, coming over with bird's nest porridge, Gu Fanghua said a little apologetically: "Danzhu, I've bothered you." ”

Zimei poked her head out from behind and said with a smile: "County Lord, as long as you take Zimei with you next time you go out, let alone kneeling for two hours, it doesn't matter if you kneel for three hours!" ”

"All the things you brought back today are divided, right? I don't want to eat it today, but it's a pity for the lo-mei. ”

Gu Fanghua is preoccupied today, and she is really not in the mood to eat lo-mei.

Danzhu watched Gu Fanghua drink the bird's nest porridge in a few sips, took the empty bowl with lotus branches, and said with a smile: "County Lord, next month is the Dragon Boat Festival, and you can go out to buy it after the palace banquet." ”

"Yes, the Dragon Boat Festival is lively, and you can slip away quickly after the palace banquet, and you can catch up with the dragon boat race."

Gu Fanghua was looking forward to it, Danzhu smiled: "I went out last year, and I almost squeezed out the county lord, there are so many people during the Dragon Boat Festival, and I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not allow it this year." ”

Thinking of last year's crowd, Gu Fanghua was still a little afraid, and pouted: "There are too many people, and it's not a good thing." Danzhu, do you know that there are people who died in the palace today? ”

"The slaves and maids also heard about it, saying that it was Kunning Palace, Changchun Palace and Yonghe Palace, and all of them had slaves who fell into the water."

Danzhu said it, his voice was also a little low, and today's news was first transmitted from Cining Palace. Of course, the emperor and the queen and the virtuous concubine Niangniang all brought some people, not necessarily because Cining Palace leaked the news, but it is also possible.

Gu Fanghua sighed in his heart, the emperor's uncle has only five sons, and the battle between the open and the secret is still so fierce.

If the emperor's uncle could have ten or eight sons, wouldn't it be even more ferocious? Now the other princes have their mothers and concubines in the palace, only Rong Ling's brother is weak, and he will talk to his grandmother tomorrow.

Thinking about it, Gu Fanghua fell asleep groggily, a little thirsty in the middle of the night, and wanted to drink water.

Gu Fanghua half-sat up in the faint candlelight and moonlight, and saw Danzhu sleeping on the Luohan couch, while Zimei, who was sleeping on the foot pedal, was sleeping very deeply, and planned to pour water and drink it by herself for a while.

I thought to myself: If the candle flame is bigger, it will be better to see.

Something strange happened, the candle in the silver slug on the table suddenly burned violently, making a "popping" sound, waking Zimei and Danzhu up.

"What's wrong? How can this candle flame burn so big? ”

However, in an instant, the candle in the silver ray had already burned out, but fortunately it did not ignite other places, which frightened Zimei and Danzhu.

Gu Fanghua, who was half-sitting, was also stunned, she just thought like this, why did she suddenly burn out the candles?

"County Lord, why are you sitting up, are you scared? It's okay, maybe this candle is hollow, and the slave will change two at once. ”

Danzhu quickly took two candles and reinserted them into the silver socket. Just as he was about to open the fire fold, Gu Fanghua suddenly said, "Danzhu, wait a minute." ”

"County Lord?"

Gu Fanghua didn't care about Danzhu's surprise, but stared at the candle on the silver bar, and silently thought in her heart: Burn quickly, burn quickly!

It's a pity that the candle didn't move at all, and Gu Fanghua tried for a long time before giving up. I thought to myself: It seems that I think too much, and it is impossible for me to be burned to death by fire in my previous life, and I can control fire in this life.

"Danzhu, it's okay, let's ignite it."

Gu Fanghua said weakly, I really have to go to bed quickly, otherwise I will have no energy at all when I look back at home tomorrow.

Danzhu didn't know why, so he silently took out the fire fold and lit the candle, and then held the silver hammer and said, "Does the county lord think of the night?" Or do you want to drink water? ”

"Drink water, a little thirsty."

Waiting for Gu Fanghua to lie down after drinking water, he felt that the light in the room was a little bright, and he thought that it would be good if the light was dim, and before he could open his mouth to let Danzhu extinguish a lamp, the candle flame dimmed.

Gu Fanghua sat up suddenly, thinking that the candle flame would be bigger in her heart. Sure enough, the candle suddenly burned out again, causing Danzhu to exclaim.

After trying like this a few times, Gu Fanghua remembered the Kong Ming lantern that was extinguished at the beginning, and the fire that had been extinguished most of Yan Qihuo's body today. Finally, I can be sure that I can indeed manipulate fire.

You just can't light the fire or extinguish it, you can only make it bigger or smaller.

What kind of supernatural power is this?
