"Mother's ......"

Xiangling's face was a little strange when she turned back from the clean room.

The queen was busy embroidering in her hands, and did not look up at her, but said: "Tonight, the emperor still has a sign that is worrying about Shen Ci?" ”

"Not ......"

"Oh? So does the emperor live in Yong'an Palace? ”

"Mother." Xiangling hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "The emperor turned over Xue Guiren's brand tonight. ”

"Hmm......"

The queen who heard this letter was stunned for a moment, and the embroidery needle accidentally pierced the tip of her index finger, and beads of blood condensed like rice grains came out at once.

She subconsciously took her fingers in her mouth, and the smell of blood soon filled her mouth.

"Mother, are you alright? Do you want a slave to send a doctor to show you? ”

The queen shook her head abruptly, and only said, "The palace is a little tired, you can retreat." ”

In the second half of the night, Xiangling saw that the candles in the queen's room were still lit, so she wanted to go in and persuade the queen to rest early.

Pushing open the door, I saw the queen lying on the warm seat, tightly wrapped in a red embroidered phoenix quilt, and her hands were constantly stroking the stitches and threads on it.

Xiangling recognized that this was the wedding quilt she covered on the night of her wedding to Li Mobai.

The unwritten rule of the Qi Dynasty is that the wedding items are only used once on the wedding day, and then they must be sealed up to beg for a prize.

This quilt has been sealed in the dust for five years since the queen married into the imperial city.

Xiangling saw her master like this, and she really didn't feel good in her heart.

Of course, she knew why the queen would take the quilt out at this time.

After being in the palace for so many years, she, the queen of the main palace who was married to the Ming media, only slept with Li Mobai for one night.

On the day of the wedding, Li Mobai shared the bed with her, and the two spent the night without incident.

At that time, the queen thought that this was Li Mobai's respect for her, but she didn't want to pay this respect, so she paid tribute for five years.

Xiangling walked to the queen's side and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, it's not an auspicious thing to be asked out at this time. ”

The queen's fingertips ran over the phoenix wings embroidered with gold thread on the quilt, and murmured, "What is auspicious and unlucky is just bluffing." Hongiya is an unblessed person, so what kind of auspiciousness do you want? ”

"How can a mother be an unblessed person? You are the queen, and like the Queen Mother, you are the most noble woman in the world. It's late at night, don't think too much, let's rest early. ”

Xiangling stretched out her hand to take away the quilt that the queen had slapped on her body, but was brushed by the queen, "Even you know that the blessing of this palace is only for this part." This queen is really boring. ”

She smiled self-deprecatingly, her eyes were blank and the shadow of the candle flame was shaking, "Xue Gui was summoned by the emperor just a few days after entering the palace, and in the future, this palace will no longer be a unique scenery of Shen Ciwei." Flowers bloom and bloom, which is a good sign. ”

Xiangling didn't know how to persuade her, so she had to look at the queen distressedly and silently accompany her.

After a while, the queen suddenly tightened the quilt and asked, "Listen, is it raining outside?" ”

Xiangling glanced out of the Ling window and replied, "It's the sound of the wind blowing the window leaves, it sounds like rain." ”

"Really?" The queen's eyebrows drooped, and she said slowly: "But why does this palace feel that the dormitory is so cold tonight?" It's so cold that my heart chills. ”

Xiangling said: "If the mother feels cold, the slave can go and add a soup woman for you." ”

The queen raised her hand slightly, "In the cold place of this palace, vulgar things can't be warm." That's it, that's it. ”

She got up and folded the quilt carefully, put it in the wooden box with her own hands and relocked it, "Tomorrow I will go to the small treasury to pick up some handy jewelry and give it to Xue Guiren, she will sleep for the first time, and the palace will also give her some rewards." ”

"! Queen Mother! ”

Laixi's voice was already sharp, and when he shouted in the silence of the night, it sounded more like a ghost, somewhat terrifying.

Xiangling saw the queen's frowns, turned around and opened the door of the palace, and slapped Laixi on the shoulder without saying anything, "What are you calling in the middle of the night?" Carefully shocked the mother! ”

Laixi cried and said with a sad face: "Niangniang, it's not good, the eldest son has an accident!" ”

"What do you say? Make it clear! ”

"The eldest prince fell in love with the concubine of the Sun family in the south of the city, and asked the master to come forward and let the second girl of the Sun family marry him as a concubine. But the second girl Sun did not agree to this family business, that is, the master came forward in person, and the Sun family did not give the master this face. The eldest prince was annoyed, so he dragged the person into the bushes when the second girl went out to collect incense, and came up with hard means. ”

Speaking of which, Lai Xi began to gasp for air.

The queen only thought that the matter was over here, so she said, "What is this? Her grandson's family is not worthy of lifting shoes in front of my Zhu family, a concubine, being able to be a concubine is already a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, what else is hypocritical? ”

"But...... But Miss Sun Er is a fierce person, she was humiliated, and she committed suicide within two days of returning home! The Sun family held on to this matter, and they didn't want to be private anymore, so they sued the eldest prince in court with a complaint! ”

"That's it?" The queen is still disdainful, "If she dies, she is dead, she committed suicide, and she is not a son who blocked her, what can she do if she is sued in court?" When people die, the lights go out, and the Sun family can't even come up with conclusive evidence to tarnish her innocence. ”

Originally, it was supposed to be like this, but since the death of King Gongshun, the prefect of Jiangdu has been replaced by Luo Yingshi, who was newly appointed by the emperor. He didn't get firewood, rice, oil and salt, he prefers to do official business, and let the officers and soldiers go to the mansion to take down the eldest prince. This happened tonight, and the emperor will know about it early in the morning, and the lord was in a hurry, so he hurriedly handed the letter in, and asked the mother to help him say two good words in front of the emperor. ”

"The emperor is accompanied by Xue Guiren at this time, what is the palace for?" The queen said a little impatiently: "Zifeng is used to being arrogant, it's good to teach him some lessons." Let him stay in prison for the night, and no one will die. Ming'er made a fuss in the previous dynasty early in the morning, and the emperor would definitely help Zifeng. After all, his father had only made great achievements, and for such a trivial matter, the emperor would not punish his younger brother heavily. You hand over the letter and tell your father that the palace has been angry with the emperor, so that your father can rest assured. ”

This matter was really as the queen expected, the prefect handed over the matter to the prefect as early as possible, Li Mobai immediately let the prefect let him go, only punished the prefect with a small punishment, punished Zhu Zifeng to go to the Sun family to apologize, and then compensated the Sun family with 300 taels of silver, and then confined to the house for half a month.

But how can the eldest young master of the Zhu family, who has never been imprisoned, swallow this evil breath?

When he went to apologize to the Sun family, his attitude was extremely bad, and he even threatened to give the Sun family some color.

In the second half of the night, he ordered someone to go to Sun's house and set it on fire. I just wanted to scare and scare the people of the Sun family, so I just set it on fire, but I didn't lock the door of the Sun Mansion from the outside.

But when the arsonist left, a man in black came out of nowhere and locked the gate of Sun's house with iron chains.

This night, the firelight from Sun's Mansion dyed half of the night sky in Jiangdu a strange orange-red.

In the midst of this blazing fire, the hysterical wails grew from strong to weak, and finally fell silent.

The tongues of fire that burst out were like demons roaming in the night with their fangs exposed, mercilessly devouring their lives.

By the time the government and the people who had spontaneously gathered rushed to put out the fire, the Sun Mansion had already collapsed into ruins in the fire.

The pungent smell of charcoal, mixed with the smell of grease spilled by the charred flesh, wafted away in the wind, permeating the streets and alleys of Jiangdu.
