After the beginning of autumn, the weather is getting cooler, and the emperor is in good spirits for happy events recently, and he is finally in the mood to linger in the harem.

The three pregnant women are not far behind, Zhou Ji is naturally the most favored, Su Jingyi is okay, and the remaining status concubine is almost forgotten.

She simply closed the door and raised the fetus with peace of mind, at least the queen mother was sympathetic to her and gave her a separate palace, although the palace people did not rush to slap her, they did not dare to treat her badly.

"Give me a son." The emperor looked at Zhou Qi affectionately, "I won't treat you badly." ”

Although there are countless beauties around him, Zhou Ji is the white moonlight he met outside the palace, and the two enjoyed the flowers and snow together.

The white moonlight that I met when I was young is different in the end.

Zhou Ji leaned on his arms, "Only if I can always be by Your Majesty's side, the concubine will be satisfied." ”

Although the emperor said that his feelings were deep and righteous, his body was still very honest. As soon as it was dark, he went out of the Zhou Palace and went to the newly favored concubine recently.

Zhou Qi didn't move at all, he had a good appetite and ate chicken soup, and his dinner was very fragrant.

After the meal, the palace maid helped her for a walk, and a group of people walked slowly in the courtyard.

"The two new ones have come out recently, and they are in the limelight." The palace maid was a little worried.

Zhou Qi touched his belly, "The only people who can rely on it in the palace are children, as long as you give birth to the little prince, you will have everything." ”

"Also, it's more important to give birth to the little prince safely." The maid rejoiced again.

Although Zhou Qi was close at the beginning, he was calculating. But the Zhou family is precisely because they have expected her since she was a child, so they are very willing to cultivate with money.

The woman who can make the arrogant prince look at her differently is naturally not empty-skinned.

Zhou Qi is also a talented woman who reads through history books and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and sees things in the long run. It belongs to the kind of woman who is ambitious and qualified.

A few newcomers, she didn't care at all. The fact that Beirong has not yet withdrawn from the army makes her happy.

Beirong retreated, but Daqi was saved. There is hope for everything, otherwise the previous efforts will be in vain.

Su Jingyi was also happy, she had already secretly found someone to see the child in her belly, most of them were princes.

The name of the emperor's eldest son, no matter what, she has to sit firmly, plus Yan Chu was in good form in the previous dynasty.

Su Jingyi can now be described as proud, and she has already seen a shining road.

"Prepare things, and people bribe." Su Jingyi commanded in a low voice.

She and Zhou Qi were conceived on the front and back feet, and if they wanted to ensure that they gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, of course they had to use some means.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of Beirong's retreat, planning their own future vigorously, and full of small calculations.

The palace outside Shengjing, but after everyone fell asleep, a raging fire ignited.

As for Empress Dowager Xie, she had already left with someone.

This palace was originally built by her at the beginning, and the emperor did not interfere, and almost all the people in it were her cronies.

They had already left the palace three days ago, and no one in Sheng Jing cared.

The people in the palace were also dismissed and made arrangements, and as for the corpses placed in the fire, they were collected from the palace and outside and kept with ice.

When the time comes, it will be burned by fire, and only the number of people is about right, and there is a high probability that it will be able to mix up.

People die like lights go out, and she, the queen mother, only needs to die on the surface, and there is no point in delving into it.

Such a big fire burned half the sky. Everyone nearby was awakened.

The emperor was woken up by Lin Zheng, and when he woke up, he still had a little anger on his face.

Lin Zheng knelt down, "The emperor's palace is on fire." ”

"Where is the palace on fire?" The Emperor didn't react at once.

"The palace where the Queen Mother lives in the capital". Lin Zhengyu reported, "The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has gone to fight the fire, but there are too many fires, and I am afraid the form is not." ”

The emperor stood up suddenly, "Change my clothes and leave the palace immediately." ”

There are two women living in it who are now the most noble and highest-ranking women in Daqi, although he has no feelings for them, something is really going to happen. It's not good to say, and it's not good for his reputation.

The emperor traveled with great fanfare, and the entire harem was alarmed.

The queen's side moved quickly, she had already dressed up and changed her clothes, and walked over to the emperor and said, "The concubines should also go, after all, the queen mother and the queen mother are here." What's the matter, the concubine is well dressed. ”

Although the emperor did not have much favor for her, he still respected her very much, and felt that she had always handled things well.

"Let's go, let's go together." The emperor was very satisfied with her reaction and performance, which is the demeanor of a queen of a country.

The two rushed to the palace overnight, and when they arrived, the sky was already faintly bright, and they heard the noise in the distance.

The emperor lifted the curtain and looked at it, and when he saw the fire that had not yet been extinguished, his brows furrowed fiercely.

The queen also glanced at it and sighed, "I hope people are okay." ”

Both of them knew in their hearts that such a big fire was more auspicious.

It's just that this fire is weird, and the emperor is inexplicably uneasy.

The two waited another whole day for the fire to be extinguished. The fire burned for a whole day and night, causing everyone to watch and sigh, and became the hottest topic in the palace.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager went to worship the Buddha a few days ago and was not in the palace.

This one was fine, and the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Empress Dowager Xie, as soon as they came, someone reported that they did not come out of the palace.

With such a big fire, it is estimated that only bones are burned.

"How did it catch fire?" The emperor asked.

"The specific cause needs to be further investigated." Criminal Department Road.

In the end, a lot of bones were found from the fire, and the emperor was not interested in them, and he was not very sincere to the Empress Dowager Xie.

"The queen mother's posthumous affairs will be handled by the queen mother, and try to be as grand as possible." The emperor immediately gave the stall to the empress.

I took someone back to the palace first.

Tao Ming Dyeing is very dedicated. She always felt that Empress Xie was a talented and thoughtful woman, but it was a pity that she was trapped in the deep palace.

She followed in her footsteps. Tao Mingran even felt pessimistic. Her ending may not be better than that of Empress Dowager Xie.

After Yan Chu received the news, he was surprised and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Is it really an accident that the fire is so big?"

"The master thinks it's artificial?" The subordinate asked.

Yan Chu chuckled, the time was chosen too delicately, it was hard not to think about it.

"Maybe it was the Queen Mother who planned it." Yan Chu guessed, "Why don't you have a fuel-efficient lamp, but was personally taught by Old Man Xie." ”

"But what is his purpose in doing this?" The subordinates were puzzled.

A good queen is inappropriate, but burns down the palace. Unless she had a reason to leave. Or that life is about to be threatened.

"Send the word out, keep an eye on King Luo's side. As soon as he made a move, he immediately sent a message back. Yan Chu commanded.

He always felt that this one was inseparable from Fu Jingchao.

The situation will soon be turbulent again, and he will have to seize the opportunity.
