In the first year of Yongkang, on November 23, the fire of Jiafu Palace.

At first, it was the maidservant who burned paper money for the drowning concubine, but unexpectedly, the burning paper money ignited the curtain under the offering table.

In the panic, she knocked over the oil lamp, and the burning lamp oil ignited the rest of the incense candles, paper money, and a few barrels of sesame oil that Hongguang Temple had just sent and put aside......

The fire developed rapidly, and in an instant, the entire Jiafu Palace was burning, and the flames soared into the sky and crackled.

The forbidden army in the palace arrived as soon as possible, and it was a little difficult to see such a scene.

Jiafu Palace is in the southwest of the palace, and it is just at the tuyere. The fire took advantage of the wind and developed quite quickly.

Sima Ying said that she would not let Yang Xianrong get close to here, "Hurry back, don't be here, it's dangerous!" ”

"Find a corner, it's fine." Yang Xianrong was not afraid at all, and was faintly a little excited.

"Zhang Lianghoe, take care of the queen!" The scene was very chaotic, and Sima Ying didn't care about the sheep, and after seeing her standing in a safe corner, she shouted to follow Chen Dali to put out the fire in a hurry.

It is far from the water source, and there are several large tanks at the entrance of the palace, but there is not much water in it.

The forbidden army had no choice but to use the stupidest method, using the relay bucket of personnel to extinguish the fire. But this is a fire lit by sesame oil, and it must be wrong to use water.

When Mao Hongbin got the news and rushed to support with the people from the Northern Military Mansion, he was so angry that he screamed when he saw such a situation.

However, the forbidden army did not listen to his command and still carried buckets of water.

When Sima Lun arrived, the forbidden army changed the way of filling in the soil to extinguish the fire.

But at this moment, suddenly the voice of shakuhachi came from the Jiafu Palace.

A voice, like a cry.

With the flames soaring into the sky, it was like the ghostly resentment could not be released, and it was dancing wantonly.

The palace people of Jiafu Palace knelt on the ground and wept, snot and tears flowing.

"Concubine Li!"

"You died unjustly!"

"Someone must have killed you!"

"Tell me what you have to complain about!"

"Concubine Li!"

In the deep palace, under the high walls, in the red flames, it seemed to be a fire of resentment that was difficult to extinguish, burning higher and higher.

Sima Lun's face was extremely bad, and he shouted, "What kind of person is this pretending to be a ghost? Scratch! ”

But it was obvious that the shakuhachi player was in the midst of the flames, and no one dared to go in and arrest him.

The pace of the forbidden army was even half a beat slower, pushing Mao Hongbin to the front.

Mao Hongbin had a bitter face and looked at Jiafu Palace, "Lord, let's put out the fire first." If this man doesn't come out now, he won't be able to come out. ”

Before these words fell, the front hall of Jiafu Palace collapsed.

After the loud bang, everyone was covered in dust and looked very embarrassed.

At the same time, everyone found that the fire had been extinguished, and only black smoke was still rising, and the smell of burnt and dust had persisted for a long time.

The palace people of Jiafu Palace rushed in one by one, crying and shouting that they couldn't pull it back.

Sima Lun waved his hand and asked the forbidden army to check the casualties first.

"Concubine Li's body is still inside...... Check it out. ”

"Yes." Yuan Jianshuo, the commander of the forbidden army, took a few people and entered the scene with his mouth and nose covered.

They were all Sima Lun's personal guards, and they moved quickly, looking for them among the rubble that was still burning in the dark fire.

Mao Hongbin turned his head and saw Yang Xianrong standing in the corner, with Zhang Lianghoe, Luzhu, and Cui Xi beside him, so he hurriedly walked over and said in a low voice: "Why are you here?" Such a mess, carefully injured. ”

"Not really, I just want to come and see." Yang Xianrong was also stunned, but there was a bright light in his eyes, "So, is the shakuhachi ghost they said to be true?" Also burned to death with Concubine Li? ”

"Where did you hear all this nonsense?" Mao Hongbin wiped the soil on his face, very unhappy, "Little girl, don't listen to these things, be careful that you can't sleep at night." ”

"Hey, just ask. Everyone has spread it so badly, after this fire, I am afraid that this haunted thing is even more noisy, and it is impossible to cover it up. ”

"That's right." Mao Hongbin wanted to reach out and dust off a piece of ash from Yang Xianrong's hair, but suddenly thought that she had become a queen, so this hand just stopped in mid-air and snapped back to his hair. "I'm afraid this matter will make a big fuss, Lord Dong should also know the news, this ......"

I really can't help but think, this Dong Yuanhe, who is over half a hundred years old and has gray hair, stumbled over, followed by two sons and some relatives.

This group of people actually just left the palace after nightfall, after all, foreign men are not allowed to stay overnight in the palace.

But as soon as the front foot walked, the back foot caught fire.

The white-haired man sends the black-haired man.

It's really distressing to watch.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Dong Yuanhe knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

There was already a lot of water in the potholes on the ground, and Dong Yuanhe's clothes were immediately soaked, mixed with debris and mud, and he looked extremely miserable.

Yuan Jianshuo, the commander of the forbidden army, had already walked out and reported to Sima Lun: "Lord Wang, Concubine Li's body is not damaged, but the coffin has been burned for most of it, and it can still be dragged out later." ”

"Hmm." Sima Lun nodded.

Dong Yuanhe, who was crying on the side, said in a louder voice, "My daughter! Why do you have such a hard life! Who is trying to kill you? ”

"There was a corpse crushed under the pillar, but it was charred and blackened." Yuan Jianshuo, the commander of the forbidden army, said in a low voice, "It looks like there is an object similar to shakuhachi beside her, because it is under the pillar, and it has not moved for the time being." ”

"Well, let's move after dawn." Sima Lun was already very tired, "Lock down the scene, no one can enter or leave." ”

"What about those people?" Yuan Jianshuo pointed to the palace people in the Jiafu Palace who had just rushed into the ruins.

"There is no need to keep these people, let's go back and bury Concubine Li." Sima Lun said this without emotion, "Hurry up and clean it up, this is really annoying." ”

"Yes." Yuan Jianshuo immediately nodded yes again, turned around and raised his hand and waved it simply, those Praetorian Guards completely understood what he meant, and went directly to arrest people, and tied their hands and feet, blocked their mouths, and threw them into the undamaged room on the side.

Seeing such a situation, Mao Hongbin and Yang Xianrong were also dumbfounded, and they didn't react at all.

When Sima Lun looked at them, Mao Hongbin also subconsciously blocked the sheep for fear of being seen by him.

However, Sima Lun had long known that Yang Xianrong was hiding in the corner.

"The fire is also extinguished, the queen mother should go back." There was no joy or anger in his voice, and he saw that Mao Hongbin was still shaking.

Yang Xianrong lowered his eyebrows and looked at him, "Well, the palace has gone back." ”

"Don't go!" Dong Yuanhe suddenly shouted, "You killed my daughter!" I want your life! ”
