Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Fire Demon Invades the Mansion
Long Chuxia thought that the abbot of Zhenguo Temple should be able to resist tonight, at least in the first half of the night. When she saw that the people from Bufu had not been notified to enter the palace, she thought that they had invited the abbot master. So stay at the Queen Mother's place with peace of mind, and ask about the case of the year.
In fact, the Queen Mother knew that she had basically told Long Chuxia that at least there were many details, and Long Chuxia still wanted to know. Because Jing Zhaoyin, who handled this case, has returned to his hometown, and older people don't remember the past very clearly, especially this case is still a decree issued by the emperor, and it is not allowed to be mentioned again, in the subconscious of many people, this matter is taboo, and they can't forget it as clean as possible, and they won't think about it deliberately.
"Queen Mother, if the first emperor is alive, what will he think about reopening this case?" The Queen Mother should be the one who knows the first emperor best, and the Queen Mother should be able to touch half of his thoughts.
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "If you can catch that murderous demon, the first emperor will naturally be happy." But this case should not be investigated with great fanfare, because it was the first emperor who released him with his own hands back then, and told the world that he was innocent, if it is found out that he is guilty now, then the first emperor has really misjudged the case, how can the family members who were killed by the murderous demon be convinced? Where should the face of the first emperor go? ”
"Didn't the Queen Mother approve of our investigation of this case before?" Long Chuxia couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that the Queen Mother's tone had changed.
"The mourning family said that it should be investigated, but it needs to be carried out in a low-key manner." The Queen Mother said, "What the mourning family said before is indeed inconsiderate, and the reputation of the first emperor is not taken into account. In fact, if you can really correct the murderous demon, it can be regarded as comforting the spirit of the first emperor in the sky. It's just that he can be corrected in many ways, and it doesn't need to involve what happened 20 years ago. In the early summer, you are a person who understands, if the emperor really asks you to investigate this case, you should have a sense of proportion in your heart how to grasp the scale, if he really falls into your hands, you have to give him 10,000 charges, it is an easy thing to mention. ”
Long Chuxia pondered, "I understand what the Queen Mother means. As long as he dies, as for why he died, it's up to Chu Xia to speculate on himself, right? ”
The Queen Mother smiled: "Sure enough, she understands people." Two days later, King Qingping returned to Beijing, and the mourning family asked him to handle the case with you, he is a prudent person, with him to help you, you will get twice the result with half the effort! ”
"King Qingping is back?" Long Chuxia has also heard of this King Qingping, he is a hereditary throne, and his family has three generations of illustrious status, and in his generation, he is not a wine bag and rice bag. Although he is chic and uninhibited by nature, his merits are there. When he was twenty years old, he followed the emperor on the expedition, served as the vanguard of the left, and killed countless enemies. Later, the emperor appointed him as the generalissimo of the Western Expedition, negotiated with the Jin State, and finally signed back the agreement of temporary peace, saving the two countries from the scourge of war.
"You also miss King Qingping?" The Queen Mother smiled narrowly, "The women in this world all love him as a little man, even if he is handsome, he still has a tongue that coaxes women, early summer, be careful not to be hooked by him!" ”
Long Chuxia said calmly: "It would be good if he could really hook my soul!" "At least try the unforgettable love in the book. For beautiful men, she has always had no immunity. But only for likes.
was chatting with the Queen Mother here, but Bufu was beginning to undersurge.
The Master of Wisdom had been sitting beside the man with the blood talisman, keeping an eye on his movements. He doesn't know much about the fire demon, but he has driven away a lot of demons and monsters over the years, and he believes that with his own mana, the other fire demon is still more than enough.
Mrs. Step and Second Lady have already gone to sleep, and the master of wisdom said that the fire demon is full of yang qi and generally does not infringe on the yin body, so the woman is safer. Master Bu ordered the second lady to accompany the lady to go to bed.
Concubine Ying also wanted to stay by the side of the family and watch, but Master Bu did not allow it, because Concubine Ying was weak and afraid of being frightened, Concubine Ying didn't want her father to worry, so she had to go back to the old boudoir to sleep.
Nearly ten years into the palace, but the furnishings are still the same as when she never flew out of the pavilion, the pear blossom wood furniture is spotless, the cabinet is neatly placed, there is a pot of water on the table, and there is a set of tea sets buckled in the saucer, as if the owner will come back to drink tea at any time.
"Miss, rest early!" The palace maid Xiaohong was her personal maid before, and she has accompanied her into the palace so far. Little Red came in with a lantern and lit candles on a human-shaped candlestick one by one, illuminating the room through.
"Xiaohong, I haven't been back for a long time, do you remember where the men's clothes in the palace were placed?" Concubine Ying's expression was a little distant, since she saw the emperor's heroic appearance, she didn't think about tea and dinner, and later heard that the emperor was going to Qingping Palace, she ordered Xiaohong to steal a set of men's clothes for her, buy the Qingping King's family, and mix into the house to be a miscellaneous servant.
Xiaohong smiled and opened a cabinet in the right corner of the room, and took out a set of coarse cloth men's clothes from the cabinet, "Why don't you remember?" For this matter, the young lady was grounded for three months! ”
"When I think of that time, I was so innocent!" Concubine Ying smiled bitterly, "If it was the state of mind at this moment, this palace would definitely not want to marry into the palace!" ”
Xiaohong said angrily: "Miss is now a concubine and a favored harem, what else is there to dissatisfaction with?" Don't be greedy too much! ”
"You've been with Hongu for many years, don't you know the heart of Hongu? Entering the palace on the same day of the draft, it was all based on his love for the emperor, just surviving in the harem, love alone is far from enough, besides, this love is just wishful thinking in the palace, the emperor has never loved the palace! Concubine Ying said desolately, and Xiaohong couldn't help but have red eyes.
Neither of them noticed the fire in the house, and it became more and more demonic, and inadvertently, as if they saw a deformed and distorted face hissing.
It is true that the fire demon does not invade the female body, but in what way he retaliates, even Long Chuxia does not know, and the wisdom master does not know, he thinks that the person who guards the fire demon's resentment can lead him out and subdue him.
In Concubine Ying's boudoir, the candles were burning non-stop, and there seemed to be a large amount of smoke coming out of the air.
"Miss, do you feel uncomfortable?" Xiaohong coughed a few times, and her face turned red.
Concubine Ying took a few deep breaths, and suddenly felt a fever in her throat, and then it became difficult to speak, "Where is the fire?" ”
Xiaohong rushed to the door, intending to open it, but as soon as her hand touched the door, it made a loud noise, and when she looked at her hand again, it turned a big red!
Xiaohong took two steps back, looked at her hands in horror, and said with a sad face: "Miss, is the fire demon here?" ”
Concubine Ying was frightened in her heart, she couldn't care about the pain in her throat, and shouted: "Someone, help!" ”
However, the sound here seemed to be unable to be transmitted, and there was a group of palace people waiting outside, but no one came in to check.
