After a while, the guards in the palace surrounded Siguotang, and now the West Chamber is already a sea of fire, and when everyone extinguishes the fire, Luo has been buried in the fire. Use the reader to read thousands of novels, completely ad-free!
In the bedroom of Empress Wei of Yaohua Palace, I heard Mama Zhuang hurriedly calling outside the door outside the room: "Niangniang, something happened, and there is a fire in the hall." ”
Empress Wei had already gone to bed, and when she heard the voice of Mama Zhuang outside the room, the maid who was close to her picked up the fire and lit the candle, and the bedroom instantly lit up.
Empress Wei sat up from the couch, the maid stretched out her hand to pull the curtain open, Empress Wei stretched out her hand and took out her shirt and draped it on her body, and sat up from the couch calmly, her demeanor was still dignified, and she did not see a trace of surprise.
"Mama Zhuang, come in and speak. ”
When Mama Zhuang heard Empress Wei's summons, she walked in from the outside with a respectful look and knelt directly on the ground, "Queen Mother, Siguotang suddenly caught fire, and Princess Huan Luo was buried in the fire." ”
Empress Wei's eyebrows frowned slightly, her eyes were full of mist, she knew the beginning and end of this rumor best, and she knew better than anyone who killed people. She will keep her daughter-in-law in order to protect her son's reputation.
didn't expect Li Shu to kill people, so that no one would suspect her, but she pushed herself to the forefront, her son and King Lang would definitely think that it was her own murder and killing, at this time, Ah Juan and the child in her womb would definitely not be able to die.
"Mama Zhuang, how is Ajuan now?"
"Niangniang, Princess Lang is safe now. ”
In the east chamber, Qi Han had already left, hiding in the dark to protect, Su Juan was restless, it was obvious that someone wanted to kill her.
Now that Princess Huan, who can prove the rumors, has been killed, how can she prove her innocence.
The emperor didn't know what to do with himself, and he still had lingering palpitations about the bowl of abortion "medicine" in the Chongming Palace.
The aunt in charge outside the door called into the room: "Princess Niangniang, there is a fire in the West Chamber, and someone from the palace has come to protect Niangniang's safety." ”
Su Wanxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and Su Wan pretended to be unaware of the "touch" and opened the door.
"What the hell happened to Mama, and why did the West Wing catch fire?"
The housekeeper was also at a loss, "Your Royal Highness the princess, the old slave doesn't know either, I only know that Princess Huan, who was in the west wing, was buried in the fire and was burned alive." ”
I heard that Princess Huan was burned alive by the fire, it was so cruel, she had no grudge against Princess Huan, she spread rumors everywhere, she must have been instructed by someone, the words of Queen Wei on the main hall, the person who can instigate the princess to spread rumors must be Queen Wei, thinking about this is chilling.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, my subordinates have come to protect the safety of Her Royal Highness. ”
Su Juan raised her eyes, reflecting the light of the torches, and saw that the person who came to protect her was a resolute man about twenty years old, with black and white eyebrows and eyes, revealing a sense of righteousness.
Su Wan bowed slightly, "There is Lao, the general." ”
Su Juan returned to the room accompanied by the housekeeper's grandmother, and the housekeeper's grandmother helped Su Juan into the room, and felt the coldness in the room as soon as she entered the door.
"It's so cold in this room?"
Then I saw the quilt that had been thrown in the corner, and said, "Yo, how did such a good quilt fall to the ground?" ”
The quilt was sent by the queen's mother, and Su Juan was afraid that Empress Wei would want to get rid of the child in her womb.
"Mama, that quilt has a fragrance, I feel disgusting when I smell it, if Mama likes it, just take it. ”
The housekeeper's face was smiling, and when the Zhuang grandmother came just now, she ordered that the bag be taken away.
The lady in charge stretched out her hand to pick up the quilt and looked at the fire in the room that had long been extinguished, "There is also some cold in this room, and the old slave will go to the firewood room to get some firewood later." ”
The next day, after the court discussion, in the imperial study, Princess Huan died of a fire in the hall last night, which made the emperor Qi Tianye very annoyed.
Empress Wei had been waiting in the imperial study for a long time, and when she saw that the emperor was angry, she comforted her: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, the matter of thinking about the hall is just an accident, and that Luo clan will light the room because he transcribed the ancestral teachings and overturned the oil lamp when he was asleep." ”
Qi Tianye is not a fool, he just doesn't want to care about the things in the harem, he doesn't believe that this matter is an accident, and looks at Empress Wei with cold eyes.
"Queen, why did such a tragic thing happen when the two of them just entered the Siguo Hall last night?"
Empress Wei's heart froze, knowing that the emperor suspected that the fire was caused by her, her face was calm, but she directly knelt on the ground, lowered her eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has the crime of unfavorable supervision, and please punish Your Majesty." ”
Qi Tianye's eyebrows were awe-inspiring, and the queen avoided the important and light, and dragged the responsibility clean. The matter has happened, and if it continues to be investigated, I am afraid that it will be another scandal in the palace.
Now that the rumors have not subsided, and the princess has died in the palace, it is really an eventful autumn, and the haze between the eyebrows is even thicker.
"The queen should get up! I have no intention of reprimanding. Empress Wei raised her eyes and got up from the ground in a hurry.
At this time, outside the study, there was a eunuch who announced, "King Lang prays for cold outside the hall to ask for a meeting." ”
Qi Tianye Long's heart was displeased, and there was a gloom between his eyebrows, and he didn't want to see Qi Han.
Empress Wei has always left room for doing things, and she will not fall into the hands of others, Li Shu's move has turned the spearhead of the incident to Empress Wei, which made Empress Wei very annoyed, and even the emperor still doubted her.
"Your Majesty, King Nalang must have come because of rumors, and the concubines thought that since Princess Huan entered the Siguo Hall because of rumors, it was better to settle the matter on the grounds of 'suicide' for fear of sin. ”
Qi Tianye's eyes were dim and difficult to see, and after a little thought, although these reasons are far-fetched, they are the only way to plan for the future.
"Let him in!"
Qi Han stayed in Siguo Hall all night last night, and this morning he saw Su Juan's mother and son safely went to the court, and he also thought of a place with Queen Wei, for today's plan, it seems that only this method can free Su Juan's mother and son from the rumors.
Qi Han pushed open the door of the room, walked in seemingly respectfully, and saw that Empress Wei was also there, he couldn't see any waves on his face, but his heart was full of hatred.
"Erchen has seen his father, long live, long live, long live!
"Calm down!" Qi Tianye's voice was extremely cold, as thin as a floating cloud in the sky.
Qi Han stood up, his eyebrows were dyed with a heavy solemn look, and he stepped forward respectfully and said: "Father, the son thought that the fire in the hall last night was very strange, and someone must have done it on purpose. The corner of his eye looked at Empress Wei.
"King Lang, I have already sent someone to find out about the matter of Siguotang, and there is nothing unusual. The emperor's words are obviously biased in favor of the queen and downplaying the palace scandal.
This has long been expected by Qi Han, "Father, since Princess Huan is dead, there is no way to inquire about the rumors, why don't you calm the rumors on the grounds that Princess Huan is afraid of committing suicide?"
