Gu Qingyue didn't pay any attention to the old eunuch who knelt on the ruins and couldn't stop apologizing.

She reached out and took the things in the old eunuch's hand, put it in her palm and weighed it a few times.

The thing had been wiped by the old eunuch, and the ashes on it had been cleaned up, revealing only a gleaming black.

Just from the surface, it looks like a relatively smooth stone, and there is nothing unique about it.

Gu Qingyue frowned slightly, and looked at the old eunuch curiously.

She waved her hand and stared at the old eunuch: "What did you just say this thing is?" ”

The old eunuch looked at Gu Qingyue tremblingly.

Sure that Gu Qingyue didn't hold herself accountable for saying the wrong thing, the old eunuch was bold and replied in a low voice: "Back to the emperor, this thing is a flint." ”

Gu Qingyue weighed the things in her hand, frowned and looked at the old eunuch: "Flint? ”

Usually the flint needs to be used to grind life, so there are basically traces of wear.

But the stone in his hand is the same color, and there is no trace of wear.

Gu Qingyue reversed a circle, looked left and right, and couldn't tell that this was a flint.

She raised her eyebrows curiously: "What kind of flint is this?" How come I've never seen a flint like this? ”

The old eunuch nodded again and again: "Don't blame the emperor for not knowing." This flint is a common thing used by the border army. ”

The old eunuch stretched out his hand and cautiously pointed it to the flint surface.

"Your Majesty, please see, the bright black surface of this flint is due to the fact that it has been soaked in oil for a long time."

"Such a flint burns immediately at the slightest sight of a spark. If the lantern falls on the flint, I am afraid that the fire that has just been extinguished will burn again. ”

Gu Qingyue changed hands to hold the flint, and sure enough, she found that there was a touch of black in the place where the flint had just been released.

She put it under the tip of her nose and sniffed, and there was indeed a very strong smell of fire oil.

"So, this flint is rarely seen in the capital? Only at the border? ”

The old eunuch hesitated for a moment: "This slave doesn't know." However, this flint is indeed a thing only found in the border army. In order to facilitate the use of fire by the officers and men in the army. ”

Gu Qingyue's eyes pressed and stared at the thing in her hand.

She raised her hand and told the old eunuch to go down first.

Lu Huaijin stood behind Gu Qingyue, looking at the things in Gu Qingyue's hand with the same solemn expression.

He naturally recognized this flint as something in the army, and it was he who was also curious why there was a flint in Fukang's palace that was only in the army?

Could it be that Fukang deliberately took this thing with him when he left the border and came to the capital?

This thing is so heavy that it doesn't matter, and it basically has no role in the army.

What does Fukang do with this?

If it weren't for Fukang's ......

Lu Huaijin raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Qingyue.

saw that the latter had a solemn expression, and looked at him steadily.

Obviously, in this moment's effort, Gu Qingyue's heart is the same as Lu Huaijin, and he is also a battle between heaven and man.

Gu Qingyue stared at Lu Huaijin, raised the things in her hand, shook them slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that this fire is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster." ”

"What does the emperor think?"

Gu Qingyue weighed the things in her hand, her eyebrows and eyes bent, and a cold color flashed under her eyes that was not easy to be noticed.

She slowly withdrew her five fingers, clenched the flint, and her eyes were a little cold: "Since it is a man-made disaster, of course we must find out the culprit." ”

Following.

Gu Qingyue returned to the palace and asked Hui'er where she would arrange Fukang.

She came to Fukang's palace without a single person.

Fukang was temporarily arranged by Hui'er in a small palace.

Compared to the palace before Fukang, this place was a heaven and an underground.

In addition to Fukang's dormitory, there are only two side rooms in the entire courtyard.

The palace courtyard is a little smaller.

Most of the people who served in the Fukang Palace before stayed in the original palace.

It was less destroyed by the fire, and now it needs to be rebuilt and can be rebuilt.

Naturally, there are many fewer people serving here in Fukang than before.

As soon as Gu Qingyue entered the courtyard, she heard Fukang's unhappy voice from the dormitory: "I said, I won't eat." ”

"Concubine Fu, you haven't eaten a single bite since yesterday. If this is hungry, how can we explain to the emperor? ”

Several eunuchs formed a circle around the door, their faces nervous, and they persuaded hard in the dormitory.

Fukang's sharp voice came from the dormitory: "I said let you all go!" Don't you understand? ”

Along with the sound, a teacup was thrown against the door frame, smashing it with a loud bang.

Several eunuchs were startled, and subconsciously dispersed a little, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, and remain silent.

"What's going on?"

Gu Qingyue stood behind several people and asked softly.

Several eunuchs looked back and saw Gu Qingyue, as if they had seen a life-saving straw.

"Your Majesty, you can be regarded as here."

One of them squeezed out from behind several eunuchs with a tray in his hand.

"This Fu Guifei hasn't eaten a bite of food since last night."

"The minions took turns to persuade several times, but it still had no effect."

"What if you don't eat anymore and get hungry?"

Several people nodded again and again, echoing in unison: "Yes." Last night, Concubine Fu kept herself stuffy in the palace and didn't eat anything. Later, there was another incident, and the water and rice did not enter. ”

"It's been a whole day. If it continues like this, I'm afraid that Concubine Fu's body will not be able to support it. ”

When Gu Qingyue heard the eunuch's words, she raised her eyebrows slightly, staring at the tray in the eunuch's hand.

"You said Concubine Fu hasn't eaten since dinner yesterday?"

The eunuch holding the tray nodded again and again: "Yes, at dinner yesterday, the slave went to invite the concubine." The concubine said that he was not feeling well, and he was still asleep, so he was not allowed to be disturbed by the slaves. ”

"This concubine sometimes doesn't like to eat at night, and the slave doesn't take it seriously."

Gu Qingyuedai's eyebrows tightened, and the doubts in her heart became heavier and heavier.

She thought for a moment and raised her eyes to look at the person who spoke: "So, from yesterday's dinner time until the concubine's dormitory caught fire, the concubine has been in her own dormitory and has never come out at all?" ”

Several eunuchs looked at each other, obviously not quite understanding why Gu Qingyue suddenly asked about last night's incident at this time.

Several people looked at each other a few times and exchanged glances.

The eunuch holding the tray looked at Gu Qingyue again, nodded tentatively, and replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”

Gu Qingyue frowned slightly, and the meaning of her eyes was unclear.

She hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand to take the tray in the eunuch's hand: "I will send this thing to the concubine, you should go and get busy first." If anything happens, I will call you. ”

Several eunuchs were relieved, saluted, and left one after another.

When everyone disappeared from sight, Gu Qingyue stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After only two knocks, Fukang's angry voice came from the dormitory: "Don't you understand my words!" ”
