Tan Yuanchu knew that she was not as pitiful as she said, but he still nodded dispensably.

She finally burst into tears and laughed, and threw herself into his arms.

Tan Yuanchu hugged her waist and glanced at her casually, after the irritability dissipated, Tan Yuanchu saw that her joy and sadness were a little dramatic.

Tan Yuanchu lowered his gaze and landed on her face unhurriedly, his eyes were faint, but his eyes were darkening.

The court drama troupe is not as good as hers.

But she was right about one thing, who else could she find to help her but him? The weakness and scheming are all because she is isolated.

Chapter 48: Walking the Water

The night gradually thickened, After Tan Yuanchu left, Yun Xi exhaled softly, Qiu Yuan didn't leave, she brought water in and cleaned Yun Xi's face.

Yun Ji sat in front of the bronze mirror, wiped her face a little bit, Qiu Yuan took a hot silk towel and asked her to apply the corners of her eyes, The room was quiet, Qiu Yuan asked in a low voice:

"Isn't the girl afraid of backfire?"

After all, as long as the truth is investigated, the emperor will naturally make the decision for the girl, and there is no need for the girl to do anything else.

Yun Xi thought of something, frowned in disgust, and she said coldly:

"I know."

Of course, she knew that acting like this would easily cause Tan Yuanchu's dislike, but as long as Yun Xi remembered that the person behind her had induced Lu Cairen to give her to Chang Deyi, she couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust in her heart.

Seeing her face condensed, Qiu Yuan didn't say anything more.

But Qiu Yuan was still a little worried: "Be careful, the slave maid has also been in the Heart Cultivation Hall for a long time, and the emperor is not a person who is easily fooled." ”

Yun Ji frowned at the tip of her nose, her face a little strange.

How could she tell Qiu Yuan that Tan Yuan Chu might have seen through her mind a long time ago?

The one who always thought she was always pretending, but he didn't think it was harmless and didn't bother to care.

At the same time, the Chaoyang Palace was exceptionally quiet, Qianqiu Palace, only a candle was lit in the hall, Forsythia waited for He Meiren to wash, spread the futon on the ground, she turned her head to look at the master who was sitting on the bed without any sleep, her movements slowed down a little, she was a little puzzled, and asked hesitantly:

"Master, it's not that you don't want to do things for Yang Baolin, why do you still let the slave find someone to spread those rumors?"

Forsythia pursed her lips aggrievedly, she knew how He Meiren was coerced by Yang Baolin, and it was precisely because of this that as long as she thought that her master had to do things for Yang Baolin, she was a hundred unhappy in her heart.

He Meiren didn't raise her head, and said in a fluttering tone: "Just let her feel at ease." ”

Yang Baolin threatened her with the poisoning of the eldest prince, she had to do something, so that Yang Baolin knew that she was not inactive.

Forsythia replied depressedly: "Oh. ”

He Meiren glanced at her, knowing that she was unhappy in her heart, He Meiren didn't say anything to appease, just looked out, and said in a salty tone:

"It's a hot summer, and only at night can there be a little cool breeze, it's really dry."

Forsythia heard something, and she bowed her head abruptly and stopped talking.

******

It was night, the darkness was gradually thickening, and the wind rustled the bamboo forest.

Yun Xi turned over, half-asleep and half-awake, she seemed to hear a noise outside, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she opened her apricot eyes with a little difficulty.

"Bang bang bang-"

There was a sudden knock on the door, Yun Xi woke up, she sat up suddenly, picked up a coat and draped it over her body, and her voice was a little soft and glutinous: "What's wrong?" ”

Qiu Yuan's voice came from outside:

"The girl is awake?"

Immediately, the door was pushed open, Qiu Yuan walked in with a solemn face, seeing this, Yun Xi's little drowsiness disappeared instantly, her apricot eyes were completely awake, she didn't ask much, picked up the dress hanging on the side of the bed and put it on, Qiu Yuan handed her shoes and socks, and said in horror:

"Girl, hurry up, Changle Hall is gone!"

Yun Ji looked up in astonishment: "What?!" ”

Yun Xi almost thought that she had heard it wrong, and that Changle Hall was going to water?

Changle Hall is Yang Baolin's residence, before being demoted, she has always been favored, the location of Changle Hall is also one of the best in the palace, the forbidden army patrols at night, almost half an hour has to pass once, in this case, how can Changle Hall go to the water?

Yun Xi suddenly remembered the rumors in the palace during this time, is there any connection between the two?

Yun Xi didn't know, but she didn't delay her and hurriedly put on her shoes and went out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, she and Qiu Yuan rushed all the way to the Changle Palace, and the figures of the two were not abrupt, after all, such a big thing happened in the Changle Palace, and many people in the palace were going to the Changle Palace.

When Yun Xi arrived, there was a circle of people around the Changle Palace, Yun Xi quickly glanced at it, and almost all the concubines in the harem had arrived.

The people who were surrounded at the front were Tan Yuanchu and the queen mother.

Yun Ji subconsciously looked at Tan Yuan Chu, unlike the previous farces in the palace, Tan Yuan Chu looked at the Changle Hall where the fire had not yet been extinguished, he had no emotion on his face, but it made the people around him clearly perceive the coldness.

There was only the sound of palace people carrying buckets to and fro all around.

The fire was raging, and Yun Xi was shocked when she saw a concubine, but when she saw the emperor, she immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth, and she didn't dare to let out the slightest exclamation.

Yun Ji and Qiu Yuan fell behind the crowd and watched this scene quietly, the Qianqiu Hall next door to the Changle Hall was also affected, but it only affected a little, and it was quickly extinguished by the palace people.

Before they arrived, He Meiren was escorted out by the palace people, she was only wearing a thin undershirt, wrapped in a cloak outside, she was embarrassed, there were a little gray marks on her cheeks, the green silk was burned to a little, messily draped on her body, she was a little frightened, she was paralyzed on the ground, and she was crying with palpitations.

Yun Ji finally had time to sort out her thoughts.

Rumors suddenly spread in the palace that Lu Cairen's drowning had another hidden secret, and Yun Xi and Qiu Yuan had long guessed that this matter had nothing to do with Yang Baolin.

After all, once the rumors are confirmed, the biggest beneficiary is Yang Baolin.

But before Yun Xi could find out who the rumors were spreading, Changle Hall was tragically drained, and until now, Yang Baolin has not been rescued, and his life and death are unknown.

Who did it to Yang Baolin?

Yun Xihu was hesitant, but there was one person who knew who did the work today, Rong Zhaoyi's often casual look faded on her face, she clenched Tong Yun's arm tightly to keep calm, she tugged at the corner of her lips, and almost couldn't help the irritability in her heart.

Rong Zhaoyi looked at He Meiren, who was scared, and a touch of coldness flashed in her eyes.

She just asked someone to deliver the news to Yang Baolin, and the rumors in the harem came out, and before she could ask Tong Yun to add a fire, Yang Baolin had an accident?

said that this matter had nothing to do with He Meiren, but Rong Zhaoyi didn't believe it at all.

But just like when Lu Cairen drowned, even if she had doubts in her heart, what could she do?

She couldn't say anything.

Rong Zhaoyi snorted almost imperceptibly, if it weren't for today, she probably wouldn't know that He Meiren, who has always been low-key and gentle, still has such ability.

She tried hard to abolish a Yun Xi, but now she has folded two palace concubines in, but Yun Xi is still safe and sound.

Rong Zhaoyi scolded this group of wastes to death in her heart, but in fact, she could only look away without being bothered.

After a long time, the fire was finally extinguished, and the palace people and the forbidden army poured in, and soon brought out a charred corpse, blistered, hot red, and charred black, making people dare not look at it directly.

There was a gagging sound all around.

The concubine closest to Yun Xi couldn't hold back any longer, her face turned pale in an instant, and she covered her mouth and retched.

Yun Xi felt a burst of discomfort in her heart, she covered her mouth, held back the nausea that welled up in her heart, and observed the expressions of the concubines around her without a trace.

In the end, Yun Xi's eyes fell on He Meiren.

It stands to reason that she shouldn't suspect He Meiren, after all, He Meiren is a member of the fire who was also implicated, and everyone in the harem knows that she is good friends with Yang Baolin, and she has no motive to kill Yang Baolin.

But Yun Xi looked at He Meiren who was afraid of crying, but she inexplicably remembered her and Lu Cairen.

She and Lu Cairen are at odds with each other, do you still expect Yang Baolin and He Meiren to have a really deep sisterhood?

In contrast, Yun Xi was more inclined to He Meiren because of Yang Baolin's former power and had to take refuge in her.

As for why He Meiren killed Yang Baolin?

Yun Ji can easily give an answer - kill people and kill people.

He Meiren has been a small Fu in front of Yang Baolin for many years, and it is difficult to guarantee that there is no handle in the hands of Yang Baolin, so it is normal for He Meiren to kill Yang Baolin.

However, Yun Xi knew very well that these were her guesses, and there was no basis for them.

Yun Xi lowered her eyes and looked away silently, she was behind the crowd and would not be discovered, and endured discomfort to look at the body that was carried out, until the last body was carried out, and there was a sudden uproar all around.

Yang Baolin, who has been proud of the harem for several years.

Half of her former delicate and bright appearance was destroyed by the fire, and her dress was burned, leaving only a little fabric, and when she was covered with a white cloth, everyone easily recognized that she was wearing only a undergarment before she died, and they couldn't help but be shocked, and just think about it, they can realize that she was trapped in the temple by the fire.

Anyway, the people who saw this scene turned their heads a little unbearably.

There were a total of three corpses, except for Yang Baolin, the two minions serving in her palace did not survive.

Only two rough minions escaped, and now the two minions were trembling and kneeling on the ground, terrified and overflowing with cold sweat.

Tan Yuanchu quietly glanced at the corpse covered with a white cloth, and seeing this, the queen sighed: "Please also ask the emperor to mourn." ”

Tan Yuanchu condensed his face and did not speak.

The queen mother looked at the two kneeling minions, and was slightly angry:

"What the hell is going on? How could the Changle Hall catch fire? ”

The two palace people hurriedly kowtowed, crying and complaining about their grievances: "The minions don't know!" The minions were also woken up by the smoke, and when they found out that something was wrong, they immediately called someone to put out the fire! Please be aware of it! ”

No matter how the queen asked, neither of them could say anything.

Someone asked, "You should know where the fire started, right?" ”

They know this problem and dare not hide it:

"The Inner Sanctum! When the slave was looking for someone to put out the fire, he looked back and saw that the fire was burning from the temple! ”

The palace people were a little weak-hearted, after all, when the fire was burning, they only cared about running for their lives, and they didn't think of going to the inner hall to save the master first.

"The fire is burning from the inner hall, and it should be time to burn to the side hall, even if Yang Baolin can't run out, won't he call for help? How did you wake up choking on the smell of smoke? ”

Yun Xi glanced at the concubine who spoke, it was Su Guifei.

She frowned, a cold face adding to it, and stared at the two minions suspiciously.

Yun Xi was a little surprised, not only Yun Xi, but seeing that the person who took the initiative to ask about the abnormality of Changle Hall was actually Su Guifei, the concubines present felt a little confused.

Who doesn't know that Su Guifei had a falling out with Yang Baolin when she first entered the palace, and the two didn't like each other.
