Chapter 42: The Black Hand

In the post station, Dugu Butterfly stood by the window, and outside the window, snowflakes were flying.

Yushu stood quietly behind Dugu Dieyi, not daring to say too much.

"Eighteen lives, eighteen lives...... Who the hell is it? How ruthless can you do it? Take eighteen human lives instead of human lives......" Dugu Dieyi's tone was full of anger.

Last night's fire not only burned Wanfuyuan Brocade Village, but also affected more than 30 families, and the most infuriating thing was that it also burned 13 people and 5 servants.

It's all human life.

"Princess, Mr. Ouyang has already started to investigate. According to reliable information, it is said that when the fire first broke out last night, someone poured sesame oil on the path near the silk village, which led the fire to the people's homes...... "Yushu told Dugu Dieyi the news she received.

Dugu Dieyi's face became more and more heavy.

"Princess, do you think the person who started this is the king of Rui? In Pingsuri, he and Duanwang are the most difficult to deal with. Today, he spent the whole day busy at the scene of the fire, which was quite a bit of a cover-up. ”

Yushu's words are not unreasonable, Dugu Dieyi shook her head gently.

"I'm afraid King Rui doesn't have this IQ." Dugu Die said as he spoke.

Indeed, although King Rui does not deal with King Duan very much, there are not many people available under King Rui. If you want to do this without knowing it, it is simply impossible without the hands of the people.

Moreover, everyone knows that King Rui and King Duan do not deal with each other, if King Rui is really so much, it is easy to get burned. In fact, even if King Rui didn't do this, I am afraid that this fire would burn on his body.

"Could it be the black hand of King Qing?" Yushu whispered.

Dugu Die thought about it. King Duan and King Rui fight, the most profitable person, I am afraid that only the King of Qing, and only he has the motivation to let this fire burn prosperously, anyway, it can't burn him.

The king of Qing is indeed the most suspicious, and now, he has laid out all the bureaus, just waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Yushu, deliver a message to Mr. Ouyang and suspend all actions. Disperse all his men. This matter will not be investigated for the time being. Lonely Butterfly did as she was told. At this point, it's wisest to hold it out. If the Qing King found out Ouyang Yichen's power, it would not be good.

Yushu should be the head. "The slave will go down and arrange this."

Sun Cheng entered, saw Dugu Dieyi, and saluted. Yushu went out and closed the door with her, and outside the door, the soldiers of Western Xia stood guard with weapons. Although the post station belonged to the Celestial Empire, at this time, it was full of soldiers from Western Xia, and the post station was guarded as tightly as an iron bucket.

"Princess, Emperor Tianwei said, I will personally take you back to the palace to live in three days. His punishment of Duanwang did not meet our expectations. Sun Cheng told Dugu Die what happened in the court today.

Dugu Dieyi had expected it, so that King Duan was also the biological son of Emperor Tianwei, this matter is not big, but it is not small. How could Emperor Tianwei punish King Duan severely?

"Forget it, I expected that King Duan has been walking in the court for many years, and he has been participating in political affairs for many years, and his power should not be underestimated. Emperor Tianwei was afraid that he was also worried, so he did not punish him heavily. Dugu Dieyi's analysis is not unreasonable.

"Princess, what should we do next? Do you have to push out the five princes? Sun Cheng asked again.

Dugu Dieyi still shook his head: "It's better not to, let him have a few more relaxed days, if we push Su Zimo up at this time, it will inevitably make him the focus of everyone, the time is not ripe, and he is afraid that he will not be able to cope with it alone." ”

Dugu Dieyi still feels sorry for Su Zimo. As she said, the court of the Celestial Empire is a pool of mixed water, and as long as Su Zimo sets foot in it, there is no possibility of withdrawing. It's better to let him rest for a few more days, and then put on his clothes.

"You say, Emperor Tianwei is going to personally take me into the palace in three days?" Dugu Die asked rhetorically.

Sun Cheng replied: "Yes, today in the court, he said it himself. Princess, it is precisely because Emperor Tianwei said so that I can't force him to punish King Duan anymore, after all, we are still on their territory, don't be aggressive......"

Dugu Dieyi nodded, Sun Cheng did the right thing. Just do it in moderation. Pressing it too tightly made Emperor Tianwei bored.

"Three days later, Emperor Tianwei came out of the palace to pick me up, this is a good opportunity." Dugu Die thought about it: "Sun Cheng, arrange for someone to inquire and see if Concubine Mei can enter Beijing in three days?" ”

Sun Cheng responded: "Just hurry up." ”

"Okay, you go down and make arrangements. Three days later, Concubine Mei will be allowed to enter Beijing. Dugu Die said heavily.

She wants to arrange a fate, a fate to resolve all the misunderstandings between Emperor Tianwei and Concubine Mei. It will also make this fate take root indelible in Emperor Tianwei's heart.

In the palace, Gu Zuzong sat on a high platform, and Queen Sun and a group of palace concubines waited around. Gu Zu is still in that tattered clothes, looking extremely pitiful.

All the palace concubines knew the weight of their ancestors in Emperor Tianwei's heart, so they naturally didn't dare to offend, this one served tea and poured water, and the other said flattering words. But Gu Ancestor ignored everything, and the anger on his face has not disappeared from the beginning of entering the palace to the present.

"Ancestor, what's wrong with you? From the beginning of entering the palace to the present, you have not given the concubines a good face, if you let the emperor know, you will definitely say that we are not waiting well, which will make your old man angry. Empress Sun took her ancestor's hand and teased her vigorously.

Gu Zuzong replied coldly: "I can't be happy, anyone's home is burned down in this cold winter, and you can't sing and dance at the same time, and then set off firecrackers to celebrate, right?" ”

Empress Sun had a long face, and she couldn't say anything more.

Concubine Yue Guifei took the fruit and came to the front of her ancestor with a light smile: "My ancestor, don't be angry with your old man, didn't the emperor say it when he went out?" Whoever burns down your house, let him build you another house in the same way......"

"The house I built again is not the same as it used to be, I planted a lot of flowers and grass in the old house, and some of them are extinct. Even if I build a new house, I won't be able to get back the flowers and plants of my treasures......" Gu Zuzong's crested cane landed on the ground and knocked on the ground fiercely.

When Concubine Yue heard this, she had no choice but to retreat, not daring to say too much.

"Don't please my wife, I don't eat anything, I don't drink anything, just wait for the emperor to tell my wife about this. If you don't give me a fairness, don't give an explanation for those eighteen lives, I can't get over this matter......" Gu Zuzong was furious, and the frightened palace concubines didn't dare to step forward and say any more.

Although this old woman is over eighty years old and has no soldiers or power in her hands, the momentum on her body is enough to be used by thousands of troops.
