"I'll have to ask yourself." Zhao Bohu stared at her with good eyes: "On the night of the chaos, there are only two kinds of people who dare to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make trouble, either for money or people with ulterior motives. Madame deliberately lit her house in order to lure the money-hungry thieves over. Is there a more rich place in this prime minister's house than the residence of the head of the house? If you really want money, I'm afraid you won't even be able to walk the road after robbing the main house!"

Meng Ji opened his mouth wide and muttered, "I didn't ------ know what she meant, and I thought it was -----."

"Why?" Zhao Bohu propped his palms on the table, his momentum was overwhelming, and Meng Ji didn't dare to raise his head.

"I think Madame put Zhao Sui and Chang Ji in the dark, and put you in the light as a disguise, right? You and your wife are sisters, so why do you believe what Mother and Daughter say?" Zhao Bohu pointed out the window: "Look at the courtyard where you live, but it is built near the water. Three of the four sides are facing the water, could it be that the thieves can bring their own boats and rafts to attack such a remote courtyard like yours?"

"But------" Meng Ji sobbed, "I ------ I was scared! Sister, she shouldn't have left me, a person in labor, alone!"

"That's your own fault!" Zhao Bohu suddenly raised his voice: "If it's a thief who only wants money, it's easy to do, but those outlaws who rushed into the mansion to kill people and set fire to it are clearly coming for the fourth prince. The Son of Heaven fled out of the palace, if there is a good one, the younger brother will only have the imperial father, if he is not removed, how can the person who laid this earth-shattering conspiracy get his wish? But you ------."

He suddenly turned around and pointed at Meng Ji, and said sharply, "But you took advantage of this opportunity to use the hands of assassins to get rid of Sui'er, so that your child could win the position of the right son of the Zhaogong Mansion!" Hum! You're really a good plan! Around the time when you found out that Tao Qing, Tao Qing, the son of Tao Ma, was interested in Ji Ying, you made such an calculation, right?"

Meng Ji suddenly became agitated, and waved his hand desperately, "No, husband, there will be no such thing. Ying Ji, this girl, was already restless, relying on her own good looks, and repeatedly wanted to show her face in front of Xiangye. The concubine never knew that she and Tao Qing had a head and tail!"

Zhao Bohu glanced at her in disgust: "Do you think that Ying Ji's mother and daughter have been killed by the cane, and no one knows your thoughts? Why do you think I put the mother and daughter to death? It's not because you are also the daughter of your own surname, for the sake of the queen's reputation, for the sake of Mrs. and the Yue family, I have to cover this matter in the pot. Not for you!"

"Husband!" When Meng Ji heard this, as if his soul had been drained, he looked at Zhao Bohu in a daze: "In your heart, what is a concubine?"

"Nothing!" Zhao Bohu flicked his sleeves, he was a scholar who grew up with the orthodox education of "Zhou Li" since he was a child, and he attached great importance to morality, and Meng Ji------ had long been unable to enter his eyes.

Thinking of Meng Ji's attempt to kill his son-in-law by the hands of thieves, and also to borrow the name of the fourth prince's imperial father, his eyes showed deep fear: "You led the thief to kill the fourth prince, if the slightest rumor of this matter leaks out, what will be the consequences? I have hundreds of people up and down the Zhao clan, as well as the Yan country, and I have to fall into the crime of exterminating the clan and cutting the country. Have you thought about it?"

Hearing this, Meng Ji's palms and vests were in cold sweat, but she also knew that it was useless to argue, so she stiffened her neck and asked, "The matter has come to this, what does Xiangye plan to do with the concubine?"

"Dispose of you?" Zhao Bohu smiled slightly, this smile was full of helplessness, and a little bitter: "It's not worth it, you don't deserve my hard work at all." From then on you have lived in seclusion, and every day your food will be served, but there will be no one to serve you."

With that, he pushed open the door and left with two guards. Behind him, Meng Ji's mournful cry was heard: "You don't like me, why do you want me to enter the door? ruined my whole life------"

A rain came at night, which dissipated the heat wave of the autumn tigers in the city of Hojing. But as soon as the sun came out, the earth was steaming, but it added three points of humidity and heat, and sweat was like rain everywhere in the royal city. The palace guards who could walk were busy cleaning up the mess left by that chaotic night.

The three major halls of the Middle Palace, which caught fire first, had almost been razed to the ground, and the corpses that were picked up were all burned to mutilation by the fire

The fire land rushed to the royal city command office.

"What did you say? One body missing?" I was really afraid of something, and the ravine-lined face of the inner servant Jia suddenly collapsed, which shocked Qi Zhong's heart.

He didn't care about wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, bowed down and said, "Yes, there are a total of one hundred and thirty-eight people in the Middle Palace, as well as the infected palace people who were stationed before that night, but there are only one hundred and thirty-seven corpses, one less."

"It's such a big fire, it should not be too late to run out. Didn't you make the mistake?" The chamberlain Jia still couldn't believe it.

"I've confirmed it over and over again, and it's true that there's one less." Qi Zhong didn't dare to raise his head and replied.

The chamberlain Jia grabbed his sleeve and said, "What about that uncle? Are you dead?"

"Ah, this ------" Qi Zhong stammered, "The corpses were burned beyond recognition, and they were unrecognizable. It's just ------."

"Just what?" The chamberlain Jia shouted.

"It's just that a dog hole was found on the side wall of the middle palace, and it seems that someone has crawled out."

"Bang-" sounded, the chamberlain Jia slapped the case, and said hatefully: "It seems that there are really fish that have slipped through the net!"

"Master," Qi Zhong flattered timidly, "there are so many people, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the uncle has escaped!"

"You, you------" The chamberlain Jia stretched out a thin finger and pointed at the apprentice, sighed and asked, "Is there any movement in the palace?"

Qi Zhongyi frowned: "There is nothing else, but I heard that Princess Bo Ji had an argument with General Sima Ji Duoyou of the royal city at the gate of Xuanning Palace for some reason, and the princess actually slapped Lord Sima and punished him for kneeling in Yongxiang for half an hour. Everyone in the palace talked about it, and I don't know why the princess was so arrogant."

"You wait," the chamberlain Jia Yi raised his hand, "Xuanning Palace?"

"Yes," Qi Zhong didn't know what to do, "On the night of the chaos, the princess avoided the night in Xuanning Palace, and only returned to the palace yesterday."

"Where's Ji Tayu? Are you out of the palace?" The chamberlain Jia suddenly straightened up and asked.

"I left the palace at dusk last night and went home! Master, have you forgotten? Or did the Son of Heaven decree him to go back to his house and rest?"

"Oops, oops!" The chamberlain Jia couldn't stop stomping his feet, and regretted: "Thousands of calculations, I still missed a place!" When Ji Tayou leaves the palace, he must have taken that uncle out of the palace!"

"Wouldn't it? Master, do you see that?"

"Do you need to check it if you see it?" The chamberlain Jia slapped the back of the apprentice's head with a palm, and said regretfully: "This woman knows too much, if she is told to flee back to Jianghan, there will be endless troubles!"
