Cheng Qian ignored it and rushed into the dormitory of Jinyun Palace, only to see a mess and charred corpses on the ground. The corpse's face was blackened and unrecognizable, and its upper body was charred.

He looked at the charred corpses on the ground and the pearls and jades that fell all over the ground, and his heart twitched: "Wen Mei." She also had a three-inch-long feather arrow stuck in her chest, and it seemed that someone had deliberately planned to kill her today.

The fire was still spreading, and after a moment's thought, he pulled the burning mattress over the bed, quickly extinguished the fire on the mattress, and wrapped the body on the ground with the mattress.

The moment he turned his head, he saw a knife-carved word "Mo" under the charred carpet. He frowned, but he didn't have time to think about it, he hugged the corpse horizontally, and ran through the sea of fire towards the outside of Jinyun Palace.

He seemed to have exhausted his strength before rushing out of the Jinyun Palace Gate with her corpse in his arms, kneeling on one knee and placing her corpse on the ground, but he no longer dared to uncover the mattress on her face.

Cheng Qian's hand stopped in mid-air, his heart throbbed and throbbed, and the pain was unpleasant. His tears fell in large gulls and smashed against the slate brick wall.

Concubine Hui had been waiting outside Jinyun Palace, and now when she saw the body wrapped in bedding, she understood what was going on, and her whole person was so frightened that her legs weakened, and she fell straight behind her.

"Mother." Zhilan behind her was clever and helped Concubine Hui.

At this time, the Queen Mother also hurried over in a sedan chair, and saw Cheng Qian half-kneeling on the ground with a sad face, his robe was blackened by the fire, and there were still a few holes, where was there still a little bit of the demeanor of the Son of Heaven.

The Queen Mother thought that the emperor was too young and emotional after all.

"Emperor!" The Queen Mother shouted Cheng Qian, and Cheng Qian froze in place, as if he hadn't heard it.

"The Queen Mother." Zhuang Xianren heard the news of Jinyun Palace, and also hurried over, followed by Concubine Lan and others: "The concubine is the queen mother." ”

"Let's be flat." The Queen Mother said, got down from the sedan chair, frowned and glanced at the corpse on the ground: "Shu Yun, you quickly go to the people of Dali Temple to come and end this matter." ”

Zhuang Xianren followed the queen mother's gaze and also looked at the corpse on the ground. The corpse was wrapped in a mattress that had almost been burned off, revealing half of its charred face and half of its ragged body, and the air seemed to smell of burnt human flesh.

"Gross." Zhuang Xianren only glanced at it, and then he was nauseous, and couldn't help retching, and the people present saw it and looked at her one after another.

"No, Queen Mother!" Cheng Qian raised his head, looked at the Queen Mother with red eyes, and said word by word: "The child is only afraid, Wen Mei was framed, if this is the case, the child must give her justice and make the person who harmed her pay for her life!" Therefore, when Zhang Ying of the Ministry of Punishment. He didn't look back: "Little Lizi, you go quickly." ”

Mo Lanyan and Zhuang Xianren, who were behind the Queen Mother, both clenched their hands involuntarily.

Xiao Lizi looked at the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother didn't speak for a long time, so he received the order: "Yes." ”

"Emperor. What you do today, where is there still a trace of a king! The Queen Mother approached him: "The emperor is the king of a country, and state affairs should be the most important, how can the children be long-term, Concubine Wen's affairs, Zhang Ying and Dali Temple will solve it!" Shu Yun, you send the emperor back! ”

"No!" Cheng Qian's eyes were red: "Don't worry about the queen mother, after the criminal department Zhang ushers in, the son will go back." ”

The queen mother's hand hidden in her sleeve tightened, when Su Wenmei entered the palace, the first time she saw her, she had a mustard for her, Su Wenmei, too much like that person.

It's just that he once promised the emperor to take a concubine. Su Wenmei always looks obedient in front of people, so people can't find fault with her, so they have to accept her.

Fortunately, she died today! The Queen Mother looked at Cheng Qian's uncomfortable appearance and felt a little distressed. After all, he is the Ninety-Five, and he is his own child.

About half an hour later, Zhang Ying rushed to Jinyun Palace with a group of officials of all sizes in the Criminal Department, and knelt on his knees: "Your Majesty." ”

Cheng Qian's head raised to look at him, and a few words seemed to have exhausted his life's strength: "Zhang Ying, my beloved concubine died in Jinyun Palace, and I order you to investigate this matter." ”

Zhang Ying clasped his fists and saluted: "Yes." ”

Concubine Hui stepped forward and bent her knees, and her eyes were red at this time: "Your Majesty, it's night, let's go back to the palace to rest early, Lord Zhang Ying has always been fair and selfless, and he will find out about the affairs of Jinyun Palace." ”

When Cheng Qian heard this, he got up from the cold ground, lost his soul and walked in the direction of the Qianzheng Palace, and Xiao Lizi also walked behind him.

"In this harem, if there are people who do not do their hands and feet cleanly, and the atmosphere in the palace is ruined, let alone the emperor, the mourning family will not be able to tolerate her. Take it as a warning, that you may do it for yourselves. The Queen Mother looked at the concubines of the various palaces who were still kneeling on the ground: "It's not early, I am inevitably frightened today, so I will disperse earlier." ”

The Queen Mother said, got on the sedan chair, and the concubines knelt on the ground to salute, and they didn't dare to come out. All the concubines are seventeen or eighteen years old, and when they see the dead body today, they are inevitably a little scared.

The Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace and the palaces of the concubines of the palaces were not in the same place, so when she left the Jinyun Palace, she parted ways with the concubines of the palaces.

The palace concubines walked on the palace road, and the virtuous concubines were in the front and took a sedan chair.

"This Concubine Wen Niangniang, who was the most favored in the former palace, was not envied by us, but now she has only been in the palace for a few months, and it is already like this. Just looking at the burned corpse on the ground, this palace felt sick in his heart. ”

"Concubine Wen is stunning in the world, so it's a pity to go like this. However, it is enough to see that the world is impermanent, and the world is unpredictable. Concubine Xian shook her head, and there was deep irony in her eyes.

Mo Lanyan walked behind and squeezed her fists - the spring water has not appeared yet, and in the Jinyun Palace, only one corpse was found, and she was faintly uneasy. All this happened too quickly and too suddenly, so she didn't have time to go to Fangyi Palace and tell Zhuang Xianren.

"Niangniang, Zhang Yingying of the Emperor's Punishment Department must have his reason for dealing with this matter. People are watching the sky, if there are really evil people who deliberately set a fire in Jinyun Palace, I believe that they will be brought to justice in the near future. Concubine Hui raised her head, squeezed out a slightly sarcastic smile, and looked at Zhuang Xianren on the sedan chair.

Zhuang Xianren met her eyes, inexplicably weak-hearted, but also looked directly into her eyes: "Concubine Hui, in the palace, when you talk and do things, you have to talk about evidence, you say this today, is it implying that the palace harmed her?" ”

"The concubine didn't dare, she just saw that Niangniang cared for Concubine Wen, and said it casually, so that Niangniang could be relieved for the time being."

When Fangyi Palace arrived, the sedan chair of the virtuous concubine stopped: "That's not necessary." Concubine Hui and Concubine Wen have always been good friends, so it's good not to grieve too much. ”

"The main palace has arrived, so you can leave by yourself." Zhuang Xianren got off the sedan chair, and all the concubines knelt down.

Hui Concubine's residence is the most remote, all the concubines have returned to the palace, she and Zhilan walked on the cold and uninhabited palace road, a weak leg almost fell, fortunately, Zhilan was quick and helped her: "Niangniang." ”

Zhilan looked at Qian Hui again, but found that she had already tears in her eyes and her makeup was wet.

Originally, in Jinyun Palace, she thought that Concubine Hui, who had always been gentle, would not be surprised, and her heart was strong, and she could be calm when she saw Concubine Wen's dead body. It turned out that everything was her hard support in front of people.

Zhilan feels sorry for Concubine Hui, she is gentle and kind. If it weren't for Concubine Hui, I'm afraid she would still be a slave in the Siyi Library at this time, and she would be bullied.

"Mother, you want to mourn and change. If Concubine Wen was killed, the emperor would definitely find out the truth and seek justice for her. Zhilan hugged Hui Concubine, walked forward, and comforted.

Concubine Hui shook her head, walked all the way, choked up: "What about getting justice again?" Sister Wen Mei is gone after all. It's my fault, I owe her all my life. ”

"Concubine Wen was indeed very good to you when she was alive. But Niangniang, you treat her the same, and whatever is good, you also think of Concubine Wen for the first time. ”

"When Concubine Wen was snubbed, you were the only one who treated her sincerely, went to visit her, and helped her out several times. So Niangniang, you don't owe her, and besides, she is not harmed by Niangniang, Niangniang doesn't have to worry too much. ”

After hearing this, Concubine Hui cried even more and seemed to be even more sad. Zhilan didn't hesitate, so she didn't speak again.

When they were about to arrive at the door of Zhongxiu Palace, Qian Hui stopped, Zhilan sorted out her manners, and the two of them returned to Zhongxiu Palace as usual under the welcome of a group of maids and eunuchs.

Cheng Qian returned to the main hall in despair, sitting in front of the hall, his eyes were hazy, and the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the past and Su Wenmei seemed to be recalled in his mind one by one.

In the past, the country was important, state affairs were important, and the harem was important. So he listened to the Queen Mother's words, knew how to forbear and restrained, and suppressed his emotions very well, even making her think that he just regarded her as a dispensable plaything.

No, no, if he did it all over again, he would definitely ignore it and spoil her alone. It was he who wanted to take her into the palace at the beginning, but now he abandoned her and let the vicious people in the palace take advantage of it, which caused today's tragedy. Now, even if he gives everything to her, it is irretrievable.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Li Zi tiptoed forward, looked at Cheng Qian in grief, and said softly: "Zhang Yingying of the Criminal Department." ”

Cheng Qian's thoughts were pulled back from his memories, he glanced at Xiao Lizi, and then looked up at the brilliant palace wall bricks and tiles on the well wall, his eyes swirled in his sockets, and the tears under his eyes were suppressed: "See." ”

His eyes were red, and he sat upright on the dragon chair, waiting for Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying held a tray in his hand, and put the bloody feather arrow taken from the female corpse on the plate, and stepped forward: "See the emperor." ”

"Weichen checked Concubine Wen's residence and body, and found that Concubine Wen was hit by an arrow before her death, and this arrow penetrated her heart from behind, which was a fatal injury, presumably killed by an arrow." Zhang Ying said, lifting the tray in his hand above his head.

Cheng Qian's brows furrowed, he got down from the dragon chair, walked in front of Zhang Ying, picked up the feather arrow and looked at it: "What do you mean, Concubine Wen was hit by the arrow first, and then burned by the fire?" ”
