Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Fire
Fang Ai Xuan was rebuilt, and Jiang Wanxiu lived in the East Pavilion of Wanzhao Pavilion.
Reading and painting every day, or go to the old lady to say goodbye and visit Jiang Yu, as if he didn't know that he was going deep into the tiger's den.
All the slaves and maids of Fang Oi Xuan also arrived in the East Pavilion, and they performed their duties as they did when they were in Fang Oixuan.
Reborn once, Jiang Wanxiu can control her emotions very well.
At first, she couldn't control the hatred in Bai Qingqing's heart, but gradually, she now lives in Bai Qingqing's courtyard, and her eyes don't fluctuate in the slightest.
Her heart, from the moment she died, was as hard as iron.
Qiu Ju walked in with a tray, "Miss, this is a new example sent by the steward to the Wanzhao Pavilion, and Miss Bai Qingqing sent you a copy." ”
On the tray are some ordinary things, spices, teas, etc.
The daily necessities that the Jiang Mansion distributes to each room every month are called examples.
Jiang Wanxiu's eyes swept over those things one by one, and she picked up the spice box casually and opened it, her index finger twisted on the gray powder, and the faint fragrance was still the same as in her previous life.
Qiu Ju saw Jiang Wanxiu pick up the spice box, and asked in surprise: "Miss, these things have been checked by slaves and maids, and they are the same as usual."
Shape. Is there something wrong with this spice? ”
Jiang Wanxiu's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and her lips hooked up a cold arc, "It's really about the same." But the spices add to the calming weight,
It's too much, if you use it normally, it's sleepy, but there are moments, but it can kill people. ”
At that time, the fourth courtyard was still managed by the mother, and the fire burned quickly, and there was not a single guard nearby, although they ran out early, no
Trapped in the room, but later, Jiang Wanxiu still felt drowsy and fainted in a daze.
Thinking about it in this life, Song Wanxiu realized that it had something to do with incense.
Although he changed places and incense appeared, Bai Qingqing's plan was exactly the same as in his previous life.
Jiang Wanxiu can be sure that this incense is from Bai Qingqing's handwriting.
Bai Qingqing's method is that even if the inappropriateness in the incense is discovered, it will only make people feel that the slaves and maids are not ingredient
Be careful, and don't feel that you are deliberately trying to kill Jiang Wanxiu.
After all, in normal times, the proportion of soothing spices is slightly heavier, and there will be no worries about life.
But when you get drowsy when the fire starts, you are looking for death, and fortunately you didn't faint in the fire in your previous life.
Bai Qingqing is as vicious as ever, and she is afraid that she will run out.
And the appearance of this spice made Jiang Wanxiu sure that Bai Qingqing was going to prepare to do it, that is, these two days.
"What's been going on in this courtyard lately?" Jiang Wanxiu asked.
Xia Zhu, who entered the house later, recalled carefully and replied, "Two days ago, Miss Biao sent all the guards of the Wanzhao Pavilion to the West Fourth Courtyard to help
The house was repaired, and there was no other movement, but the magpie in our courtyard hid a large amount of pine resin under the bed.
She didn't know that her every move was under the surveillance of the slaves, and she had been in frequent contact with Miss Cousin, Miss, only afraid of Miss Cousin
It's to collude with the magpie and it's not good for you. ”
Pine resin can make the fire burn faster, it is not easy to extinguish, and it is more private than combustible substances such as sesame oil and wine, and it is not easy to be discovered.
And transferring the guards can also make it convenient to put out the fire too late.
Jiang Wanxiu's eyes flashed with a cold light, all of this made her feel as if she had returned to the night of her previous life, "It seems that they are ready for everything, just waiting for it to start." ”
In her previous life, Bai Qingqing burned Fang Aixuan, and in this life, she plans to burn down the Wanzhao Pavilion.
But this time, Jiang Wanxiu wanted Bai Qingqing to taste the taste of being burned.
"Xia Zhu, Bai Qingqing is all handing over notes to magpies and giving orders, right?" Jiang Wanxiu asked.
Natsutake Fushen, "Yes. However, the magpie burned the note every time he read it, and the slave failed to get the note. ”
"It's okay, it's okay to burn it, it's just that there is no proof of death."
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanxiu walked to the desk, and there was a pair of calligraphy in front of her, which was a small poem written by Bai Qingqing.
When I went to Bai Qingqing's room two days ago, Jiang Wanxiu had been imitating her handwriting for two days, and at this time, when I lifted the pen, I achieved it overnight, and Juanxiu's small characters were seven points similar to Bai Qingqing:
"Tonight, do it."
If you are an expert, you will know at a glance that it is not Bai Qingqing's words, Jiang Wanxiu does not have such a great ability to confuse the real with the fake.
But fooling outsiders who don't know calligraphy, such as magpies, who can barely recognize words, is enough.
Bai Qingqing arranged everything and was ready to make a move on Jiang Wanxiu.
And Jiang Wanxiu let the magpie do it before she gave the order, and the magpie would definitely mistake it for Bai Qingqing's order.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanxiu's lips hooked up with a raised arc, and said: "Xia Zhu, you go to Bai Qingqing's place, say that I have a new painting here, and ask her to taste it together tonight." ”
Xia Zhu Fushen, "Yes." ”
Jiang Wanxiu has been laying out since she lived in Wanzhao Pavilion, and the foreshadowing of frequent invitations in the past two days will not make Bai Qingqing suspicious tonight. Now the water is a matter of course, and the east wind is just right.
Bai Qingqing, this time, I'll burn you instead.
In the afternoon, the magpie found the note in his room, and thought it was given to her by Bai Qingqing, not suspected of fraud, after seeing the handwriting on the note, he sneered fiercely, and his ugly face looked particularly terrifying.
"Miss, I don't want to destroy you for my own sake!" The magpie read the contents of the note, so as not to leave evidence, and burned it on the candle flame.
He took out the prepared grease from under the bed and smiled very hideously.
As an inferior maid, she is not qualified to serve by Jiang Wanxiu's side, she didn't know that Jiang Wanxiu actually invited Bai Qingqing to a small gathering tonight.
Even if he knew, he would think that Bai Qingqing deliberately arranged it in order to prove his innocence, and he had his own way to get out.
After all, in the eyes of the magpie, this was all arranged by Bai Qingqing. There is only one thing she has to do, fire prevention!
Evening Zhao Pavilion East Pavilion, 戌時. Sandalwood curling, candle flickering, a few plates of delicate snacks, a pot of tea, a leisurely and comfortable night.
"I just said a few words to you and I felt a little sleepy, I really haven't slept well lately, which makes my sister smile."
Bai Qingqing yawned, held the tasting paper in his hand, and said tiredly.
Because he thought that he was about to kill Jiang Wanxiu, Bai Qingqing's attitude towards Jiang Wanxiu has improved greatly in the past few days, and he is like a sister in the eyes of others.
Jiang Wanxiu smiled lightly, "It must be my cousin who came to Japan to practice calligraphy and painting, and I moved to your courtyard, which bothered you and made my cousin tired." ”
"How could it be, you came to Wanzhao Pavilion to be my companion, I can't be happy." Bai Qingqing said immediately.
Having said that, but the sleepiness invaded for a while, and with Bai Qingqing's intelligence, he always felt that something was wrong.
suddenly thought of the incense that was given to Jiang Wanxiu today, and his eyes unconsciously glanced towards the incense burner.
What was just sent today, Jiang Wanxiu has already used it? Didn't they say that their old incense was enough for two more days? What a mistake.
It seems that she can attack Jiang Wanxiu tomorrow, otherwise if this incense is used for a few more days, Jiang Wanxiu will find out that something is wrong.
Bai Qingqing had a gentle smile on his face, and he was already thinking about what excuse to use to go out tomorrow, and after the fire burned, he could dissociate himself from himself.
Jiang Wanxiu took a sip of the teacup, and glanced at the funnel next to her casually, and at the moment, the magpie should be about to do it.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard a commotion outside the door, and in a few moments, the firelight was reflected, and a scorching heat wave rolled in, and thick smoke rose everywhere.
Bai Qingqing looked at the sudden fire outside the door with a shocked face, and exclaimed, "What's the matter?" ”
Jiang Wanxiu said lightly: "It seems to be on fire." ”
There was chaos outside the door, but no one was able to rush in.
Because the magpie smeared the grease on the outside, and added dry wood, the fire burned from the outside in.
Now the entire Wanzhao Pavilion has been plunged into a sea of fire.
The East Pavilion where they were located was in a relatively backward position, so the fire had not spread yet, but no one outside could enter at all.
"Fire?" Bai Qingqing couldn't believe it, he didn't understand why it suddenly caught fire?
The fire spread quickly with the help of grease, and it was only a short cup of tea from the time it was discovered that the fire was burned in front of them.
Bai Qingqing was stunned at first, but finally reacted and shouted for help: "Someone, put out the fire!" Come on! ”
If she hadn't transferred the guards of the Evening Pavilion, she might have had time to put out the fire.
However, in order not to leave a way for Jiang Wanxiu to survive, she had already transferred people to Fang Aixuan two days in advance.
Jiang Wanxiu looked at Bai Qingqing on the other side and spoke calmly, facing a sea of fire, her face was calm and she couldn't see the slightest panic.
"Cousin, it's useless, the guards of the Wanzhao Pavilion have been transferred away by you, and those maids outside can't get in."
Bai Qingqing wanted to get up and run out, but found that he was drowsy and couldn't lift his strength at all, and when he heard Jiang Wanxiu's words, he looked at her suddenly.
Looking at each other, Jiang Wanxiu's composure made Bai Qingqing panic.
Bai Qingqing barely restrained his panic, pretending to be a sisterly and said, "Wanxiu, my limbs are weak, you ...... You helped me to run together, although the fire was big outside, but it was not far from the exit, and it was easier for us to rush out than for them to rush in. You can definitely run out, you can take me with you. ”
Jiang Wanxiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Cousin is right, you can naturally run out." But why should I take you with me? ”
This sentence made Bai Qingqing's mind, which was originally a little groggy because of An Shenxiang, instantly sober up, and looked at Jiang Wanxiu with a shocked and incredible gaze, "What did you say?" Jiang Wanxiu, you ...... I see, it's you! You set this fire! ”
At this moment, Bai Qingqing finally noticed that something was wrong, it was also incense, why was she only drowsy, but Jiang Wanxiu didn't have anything.
Unless Jiang Wanxiu knew that the incense was wrong, she would have dealt with it a long time ago.
Jiang Wanxiu's lips hooked up a bright but bone-eroding cold smile, "You transferred the guards, you got the spices, and if you didn't have your cover, no one would be able to get this kind of thing to Wanzhao Pavilion, and the magpie who lit this fire is also your henchman, cousin, this matter was planned by you from beginning to end, what does it have to do with me?" ”
The sky is full of fire, and the memories of the past and present lives coincide.
