Chapter 69: The Man Behind the Scenes
The fire burned all night and was not extinguished until dawn, and it took almost the entire power of the palace fire department to extinguish the fire.
But although the fire was extinguished, the queen's bedroom was burned to ashes, and there was nothing left.
Pei An walked in front of the burned and completely collapsed dormitory, watching them carry out the corpses from inside, each of them stepped forward to look at it, but none of them were the person he was looking for.
The man he was looking for recognized even if it had been burned to the ground. However, after all the bodies were searched and rescued, he still did not find the person he was looking for, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought, with his cleverness and martial arts, he must have left here. It's just that he's injured and he's a little worried.
The pond in front of the queen's bedchamber was all black, and there was a layer of something floating on it.
Pei An squatted down and lightly dipped his fingers in the floating thing, got closer and smelled it, smelling that it seemed to be oil?
This fire was too unexpected, and with the oil floating in the water at this time, Pei An dared to conclude that someone had carefully planned it, not an ordinary fire.
Choked on the smoke, coupled with the heavy incense, and was burned. Gu Xiaonuan had a high fever at this moment, and the whole person was hot like a brazier, and he didn't dare to touch it.
Li Wang anxiously paced beside him, looking at the imperial doctor frowning at the diagnosis, and his heart became even more uneasy.
The fire was extinguished, and the oil was found in the water, and Peante came to return to the king.
When he heard what Pei An said, King Liwang first fell this deep suspicion on the Marquis of Lin Guofu.
Especially looking at the queen in a coma, his heart to get rid of the Marquis of Lin was even more determined.
It took a whole day and a night for Gu Xiaonuan's fever to subside, and when she woke up, she thought she had returned to her time.
She really had a long dream, in which she dreamed that she was in her own time, that she had met her former friends, her relatives, and that she had shared this trip to ancient times, and she thought she had gone back.
But when she woke up at this moment, she was still in this era, and she had to sigh in her heart, it seemed that it was really not that simple for her to go back.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the voices standing by her bedside, and she was there every time she woke up.
Looking at Gu Xiaonuan, who opened her eyes slightly, her frowning brows instantly relaxed, and she immediately showed a bright smile, and exclaimed happily, "Princess, you wake up, you wake up ......." ”
Nodding slightly, Gu Xiaonuan felt that her mouth was dry, so she stared at the teapot in the distance. Xing Tingyin is really the person who knows her best, and immediately went to pour a glass of water for Gu Xiaonuan.
After drinking a glass of water, Gu Xiaonuan felt much better, and she could already sit up.
She was glad she was still alive, and when she remembered the fire, she was really frightened, and for the first time she experienced how terrible death was.
Although this body was not hers, at that time, she really felt a death.
Thinking that the fire was suspicious, or that she was sure that it was someone who had done it, she felt more and more that she was in a very difficult situation.
"Ayin, is Wei Rou back?"
"I'm back, I'm outside, is the princess going to see her?" Listen to the back.
"Hmm." Gu Xiaonuan nodded.
After listening to the sound for a while, Wei Rou was brought in, and Gu Xiaonuan, who looked at Wei Rou who came in, slowly raised her head.
Wei Rou looked at Gu Xiaonuan who woke up, and also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Princess, you finally woke up, I'm almost worried to death." ”
Gu Xiaonuan looked at Wei Rou, her eyes were very calm, and she said slowly, "Has anyone been saved?" ”
"Hmm." Wei Rou nodded, "Princess, you are really clever, the king really didn't let go of a few of them, and killed them all that night when they were sent to the mass grave, and I went in time to replace the one that the princess wanted to save in the middle of the way." ”
Nodding slightly, Gu Xiaonuan turned the teacup in her hand thoughtfully. In fact, the errand she arranged for Wei Rou was to rescue the leader of Concubine An's errand.
Ever since she guessed the news of Concubine An's death, she knew that Yili Wang's suspicious personality would not keep them alive. After all, once Concubine An's matter spreads, once it is known by the Marquis of Lin Guofu. Then there are many factions in the palace of the prince of Lin in the government and the opposition, and there will inevitably be a turbulent situation that is not under his control.
So for the sake of safety, he will definitely get rid of those people, after all, only the dead can stand the secret.
She asked Wei Rou to save the person who came to the dormitory to spread the message, just thinking that it would be useful in the future, but now it seems that she saved that person, not only in the future, but also in the moment.
As soon as Concubine An died, some people couldn't help but want to get rid of her as the queen, not to mention that the person's scheming was very fine, and the speed at which that person knew the news was terrifying. Presumably, except for his internal response in the palace, it is impossible for him to know the news so quickly.
Moreover, Concubine An's affairs are extremely secret, and it is impossible for others to know. Unless, unless, the fine work he has planted is among the guards.
This person's scheming is also really deep, he knows that at this time, he will not suspect him, he will only suspect Lin Guohou's Mansion, and he will only blame everything in Lin Guohou's Mansion. Second, Concubine An has died, and if she dies as a queen, then the position of queen cannot be vacant, and someone will definitely replace her.
This abacus is really good, Gu Xiaonuan really wants to get to know such a person and see who has this scheming.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaonuan gradually felt that the person behind the curtain was about to appear.
Snakes, fires, and poison are good moves. Lin Guohou's Mansion also has a good pot on his back, big and black.
When Liwang heard the news that Gu Xiaonuan had woken up, he hurried over after leaving the court. Looking at Gu Xiaonuan, who was already able to get up, he was very excited, and as soon as he came in, he hugged Gu Xiaonuan and said, "Ah Yao, you can be regarded as awake, I am about to die of fright." ”
Gu Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment, but she didn't react, or rather, she had no feelings for Liwang, and she was a little surprised and unaccustomed to this hug.
Smiling reluctantly, Gu Xiaonuan said, "Let the king worry, Ah Yao is fine." ”
Liwang was very excited, looking at Gu Xiaonuan's eyes when he woke up, his eyes were red, he was extremely excited, and he was also very excited, "Ah Yao, it's really hard for you, don't worry, this king will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." ”
Looking at his appearance, if Gu Xiaonuan didn't understand him, he really believed that he was an affectionate person. It's just that she knows what he does, and she really can't associate him with affection.
Smiled reluctantly again, Gu Xiaonuan didn't know what to say at this moment. He was like this every time, saying that he wanted to give himself an explanation, but as soon as this matter passed, he seemed to forget about it. Snakes, assassinations, poisoning, none of them promised him, but he didn't do anything.
