Before the fourth set was over, someone from the palace came to report that Concubine Xiang had sent someone to ask to see him.

After listening to the words of the palace people, Yan Guifei didn't raise her eyebrows, "Let's just say that the palace has rested." ”

"Yes." The palace people retreated.

Xiao Xiwei put the chess pieces in his hand into the chessboard and said with a smile, "This Xiang Concubine is really uncontrollable." ”

Before the fourth game of chess was played, the people in Concubine Xiang's palace arrived, and it is conceivable that Concubine Xiang at this moment is really burning her brows, and she should be in a hurry. Also, it was not easy to get the right to assist the six palaces through grace and the dragon fetus in the belly, but at this juncture, Yuli Palace caught fire. Burning the dowry of Yuli Palace is still a small matter, if the ninth princess is injured in the slightest and breaks the relationship with the Northern Desert, then she really can't eat and walk around, no wonder she sent someone to Yikun Palace for help in a panic.

"It's just a palace maid, what kind of table can you get." Yan Guifei snorted coldly, and casually got down again.

Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Yan Guifei, smiled, and did not speak.

Presumably, Concubine Xiang has been in power for a few days when she has come to Yikun Palace to hang out, otherwise, with Concubine Yan's character, she would not have said such a thing. Of course, there must also be a relationship with the Chongde Temple.

The chess game was finally finished, and when the two were separating the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard and picking up the chess box, another palace person came in and said that Concubine Xiang was here.

"It seems that this fifth game will have to be played another day." As soon as Yan Guifei's hand was released, all the chess pieces in her hand fell into the chess box.

Xiao Xiwei helped Yan Guifei and Concubine Xiang to rush to Yuli Palace together, the palace guards carried buckets to and fro, the sky above Yuli Palace was reflected red by the fire, and the blasting sound of 'popping' in the flames could be heard from afar.

When Concubine Xiang saw this driving, half of her body softened, and her pretty face turned white with fright, "Sister, sister...... Can this man, this man still be saved? ”

Yan Guifei didn't even look at Concubine Xiang, but only sped up her pace.

As soon as he arrived at Yuli Palace, Xiao Xi stepped forward a few steps, grabbed a palace maid next to him, and said with an anxious face, "Ninth princess, where is the ninth princess?" ”

The people in that palace are still young, their faces are full of stains, and they will only cry vigorously when they are questioned.

Xiao Xi frowned slightly, and turned his head, "You guys, don't you all know where the ninth princess has gone?" ”

Before those palace people could answer, a voice rang out first.

"Where did the Ninth Princess go, isn't this question clearer than them, Princess Yan knows it better in her heart."

The person who came was dressed in a flying fish suit, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and it was Lu Haiyang, the new deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

"What do you mean by this, Lord Lu?" Xiao Xi turned his face slightly and looked at Lu Haiyang coldly.

Lu Haiyang didn't answer, but just walked to Concubine Yan and Concubine Xiang and raised his hand to salute, "Wechen has seen two mothers. ”

"Alright. Hongu asks you, what the hell is going on? How could the good Yuli Palace burn up? Nine princesses? Nothing happened to her, did she? Concubine Yan waved her hand slightly and asked anxiously.

"What Niangniang said is that the fire in Yuli Palace is indeed strange, and the lower officials are also investigating, as for the Ninth Princess......" Lu Haiyang didn't say anything more when he said this, but glanced at Xiao Xiwei on the side with a vague look.

"What's wrong with the Ninth Princess? No...... It can't be that it didn't get out, right? Concubine Xiang, who was standing beside Concubine Yan, asked cautiously.

Lu Haiyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Xiwei, "What does Princess Yan think?" ”

"The two ladies are so worried about the safety of the ninth princess, but Gongzi Lu is talking about him left and right, it seems that the ninth princess is fine." Xiao Xiwei had already walked up to Concubine Xiang while speaking, and smiled at her, "Niangniang can rest assured." ”

Listening to Xiao Xiwei's words, Concubine Xiang breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

If the Ninth Princess had a case, she really couldn't afford it.

"Then borrow Princess Yan's auspicious words." Lu Haiyang looked at Xiao Xiwei, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.

He wanted to see what means Xiao Xiwei had to steal people out of the palace under his nose.

"Lord Lu, what do you mean by this? Could it be, could it be that the ninth princess she, she didn't save her? Lu Haiyang's words made Concubine Xiang's heart tighten, "Since this is the case, then you, then you don't let people go in to find it!" ”

Lu Haiyang raised his hand to salute Concubine Xiang and said, "Niangniang, it's not that the lower officials don't send people in to find it, it's just that Yuli Palace is full of red silk, and as soon as this fire catches, Mars goes straight up like a snake, and the ninth princess's bedroom seems to have been deliberately smashed into the wine jar. ”

"Lord Nalu just watched the Ninth Princess burn alive inside!" Xiao Xi glared at Lu Haiyang slightly.

"Yes, yes." Concubine Xiang shouted repeatedly.

"Look at what Princess Yan said, the ninth princess may not be in the palace." Lu Haiyang stared at Xiao Xiwei's eyes, and the corners of his lips lifted a meaningful smile.

"In the middle of the night, the ninth princess is an aunt who has not left the cabinet, where can she be if she is not in Yuli Palace? Please think twice before Lord Lu speaks. Xiao Xi slightly lowered his eyes and said coldly.

"Xia Guan is just because the palace maids who escaped from Yuli Palace said that they didn't see the ninth princess tonight, so they inferred that the ninth princess may not be in the dormitory. Why is Princess Yan so excited? Still is...... Princess Yan wants the ninth princess to be in the dormitory? Lu Haiyang looked at Xiao Xi's slight pun.

"Okay, since the ninth princess is not in the dormitory, then you won't send someone to find it!" Yan Guifei twisted her eyebrows and stared at Lu Haiyang coldly.

"Don't worry, the lower officials have already sent people to look around." Lu Haiyang retracted his gaze and bowed his head respectfully to Concubine Yan.

"The emperor has arrived." Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out.

Xiao Xi turned around slightly, and saw that the emperor was sitting in the imperial chariot, with a pale face and a dozen palace people hurriedly walking towards here.

Everyone was about to salute but was interrupted by the emperor's cold voice, "Alright, can any of you tell me what is going on?" Drunk? ”

No one spoke.

Concubine Xiang only felt an invisible pressure pressing on her chest, and sweat oozed from her back. She secretly glanced at Yan Guifei, but saw that Yan Guifei hung her head but did not mean to speak. She pursed the corners of her mouth, and finally couldn't hold her breath anymore, "Your Majesty, the concubine came with the concubine's sister, so it's not very clear......

"You are in charge of the harem and you don't even know this little thing, so what's the use of you!" The Emperor said in a loud voice.

Concubine Xiang trembled, her knees couldn't help but weaken, and the whole person couldn't stand still, but fortunately, the palace maid next to her stepped forward smartly to help her. I didn't forget to reach out and tug at the corner of her sleeve and glance at her. Concubine Xiang came to her senses suddenly, gritted her teeth and covered her low voice, "Hey...... Ouch...... It hurts, Your Majesty, the concubine's stomach hurts a little. ”

The emperor didn't actually say this to Concubine Xiang, but Concubine Xiang would be wrong if she was cowardly, and she would pretend to be in pain.

The Emperor wrinkled his eyebrows.

are also palace maids, and this auspicious concubine is really not a star and a half worse than the jewel.

Thinking of this, the emperor glanced at Concubine Xiang in disgust, but thinking that she was still pregnant with his child in her belly, he waved his hand in annoyance, "Okay, don't come out if you have a body, go back." ”

After hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Xiang was on the verge of amnesty, and hurriedly took the hands of the palace people back to the palace.

As soon as Concubine Xiang left, the emperor glanced at Yan Guifei, but saw that she had not combed her hair, she was wearing a pure white hat, her face was not powdered, although there was a faint anxiety between her eyebrows, but the whole person was calm and calm, and she couldn't help but think of the first time she saw her, and she couldn't help but have a trace of complicated emotions in her heart.

"Your Majesty, don't complain about Concubine Xiang's sister, she is pregnant, and she has never experienced such a thing in the harem for the first time, so she is naturally a little panicked, and it will be fine after a long time." Concubine Yan didn't seem to notice the complicated look in the emperor's eyes, and said softly.

The emperor glanced at her and did not speak.

"Father, mother, this fire can't be extinguished for a while. Why don't you go back first, if there is a situation, Erchen will immediately send someone to invite you, have you seen? Xiao Xi looked at the emperor in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Princess Yan is right, it's cold at night, you better go back first. Wechen will accompany Princess Yan here, and once something happens, Wechen will immediately take Princess Yan to tell you. Lu Haiyang waved his hand to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at Lu Haiyang, and then said, "Okay, then go to Yikun Palace." With that, he went to the imperial chariot and went in the direction of Yikun Palace.

"I don't know how long this fire will burn, come on, go and move a chair for Princess Yan to rest." Lu Haiyang looked at Xiao Xi and said with a smile.

"Yes." A guard answered, and quickly turned around to move the chair.

Xiao Xi hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, "It seems that Lord Lu is very sure that the Ninth Princess is not in Yuli Palace, otherwise how could it be so easy." ”

"Xia Guan naturally hopes that the ninth princess is not in Yuli Palace, but I don't know what Princess Yan thinks?" Lu Haiyang said with a smile.

"I naturally think the same as Lord Lu." Xiao Xiwei also smiled.

"It's a pity, this is just the hope of the lower officials." Lu Haiyang said and sighed heavily.

"Why did Lord Lu say that?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Lu Haiyang and said quietly.

At this time, the guard happened to move a chair in.

"Princess, please sit down first." Lu Haiyang took a step back and made a 'please' gesture.

Xiao Xi glanced at him slightly, and then sat down with Ziyan's hand.

"There is one thing, the lower official wants to ask the princess?" Lu Haiyang suddenly clenched his fists and looked at Xiao Xi and said with a smile.

Xiao Xi raised his hand slightly, "Lord Lu, please speak." ”

"In a short period of time, the fire in Yuli Palace burned so big, Xia Guan thought it was man-made? What does the princess think? ”

"It seems that Lord Lu has discovered something?"

"Indeed." Lu Haiyang hooked the corners of his lips, "Everyone knows that the eldest son of the Ninth Princess is loyal to the mansion, that is, the brother of Princess Yan. For the sake of Prince Xiao, he did not hesitate to anger the saint, and even wanted to refuse to make peace with the Northern Desert. But this marriage was ordered by the emperor himself, and no matter whether the ninth princess cried or went on a hunger strike, the emperor was unmoved. Princess, you said, will the ninth princess not be able to think about it because she doesn't want to go and kiss, so she ......" Speaking of this, Lu Haiyang winked at Xiao Xi.

Hearing Lu Haiyang's words, the purple smoke eyebrows on the side jumped suddenly.

This was originally the reason why the princess used to deal with this fire, but it suddenly popped out of Lu Haiyang's mouth, how could she feel so frightened.
