When Emperor Ning heard the words, his mind immediately woke up, he sat up in a hurry, ordered his servants to change clothes, and hurriedly told Director Zheng to get ready and rushed to Xiwu Palace.

When Emperor Ning arrived outside the gate of Qiwu Palace, he saw that the entire Qiwu Palace was enveloped in flames. Emperor Ning frowned, and called the imperial guard over, "What's going on? Why did Qiwu Palace suddenly catch fire? ?”

The commander of the imperial guards was silent for a long while, then knelt down towards Emperor Ning, "The minister is not well guarded, and I ask the emperor to punish me."

"A crime?" Emperor Ning sneered, raised his foot and kicked at the imperial guard, "If you want to make a crime, you have to wait until the fire is extinguished, why don't you hurry?"

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", and the beams on the roof of the main hall of Qiwu Palace had collapsed, and the flames splashed. Director Zheng quickly pulled Emperor Ning back a step, "Your Majesty, it's dangerous here, you'd better go back first." Let’s go to the Palace of Qinzheng, the Commander is here, come back after the fire is extinguished.”

Emperor Ning's expression changed for a long time before he nodded, but turned around and asked, "Where is Imperial Concubine Jin?"

Director Zheng didn't understand why Emperor Ning asked such a question, but hurriedly called his servant to Jinxiu Palace.

Emperor Ning squinted his eyes at Qiwu Palace for a long time before he sat on the step and went back to Qinzheng Hall. As soon as he returned to Qinzheng Hall, the servant who was sent to find Concubine Jin had already returned. At that time, the little prince felt cold, so Concubine Jin summoned the imperial doctor to see the little prince. not open."

Emperor Ning was taken aback, "Chen Xi is sick? Why didn't you report it?"

The servant hurriedly said, "The imperial concubine said that the emperor will be crowned empress in one month, so he should be very busy at this time, so the palace people don't need to disturb you."

Emperor Ning paused, his expression panicked, and he opened his mouth after a while, with a somewhat hoarse voice, "Don't bother me."

At this time, the commander of the imperial guards hurried in, "Your Majesty, the abolished Empress Li is still locked up in the dark room under Qiwu Palace by Concubine Jing."

Emperor Ning was stunned again, and became silent. Yunshang had told him about this before going to Kangyang City. He also hated Li Shi to the extreme, just thinking that the woman had been with him for twenty years anyway. No matter what, she, the queen, did her duty before, so she simply ignored her and just ordered the palace servants to bring her meals on time. Even he almost forgot about Li Yiran. Now Qiwu Palace is on fire, that woman...

"Extinguish the fire quickly and bring her out." Emperor Ning frowned, and ordered in a low voice. The dark room is hidden, and there is a stone gate to block it. Mostly it just feels hotter.

The commander of the imperial guards responded, turned around and left.

The fire almost completely burned the main hall of Qiwu Palace. It was not until the next morning that the fire was completely extinguished. Emperor Ning came to Qiwu Palace again and saw the commander of the imperial guards leading people to rescue Li Still, Emperor Ning stood outside the hall and looked at the Qiwu Palace that had been burned beyond recognition, frowning and watching the imperial guards walk in, but after a while, they retreated again.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Ning asked with a frown.

The commander of the imperial guard immediately knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, the stone door of the dark room where the abandoned empress was imprisoned has been broken. I am afraid that the fire started from the dark room..."

Emperor Ning was startled, he was stunned for a while, his complexion was a little pale, and he only said one word: "Check."

Before returning to Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Ning was stopped again, but the person who came was the number one scholar Liu Qiyan. After Li Jingyan's rebellion, the emperor promoted him to the Minister of Rites.

"Your Majesty, something happened to the empress edict posted in the five places of the imperial city yesterday. Before dawn today, many people saw that the empress edict was stained red with blood, and I don't know who revealed it. The palace was on fire last night. The place is the Qiwu Palace where the previous empresses lived, and now rumors are spreading all over the place, all saying that Miss Jing has lost her virtue and is a punishment from God."

Emperor Ning frowned, if the fire in Qiwu Palace last night was caused by Li Yiran, if it could be regarded as an accidental coincidence, then after the imperial edict was issued today, it must be man-made.

Who exactly?

Emperor Ning secretly calculated in his heart, and only set his targets on Concubine Jin, Yunshang and Li Yiran.

Concubine Jin has always been cold-tempered. Even when he married Li Yiran, he never said a word. Later, because of some misunderstandings, he invited himself into the cold palace. It stands to reason that she is unlikely, but now she is One difference is that Concubine Jin has Chen Xi, if Concubine Jin has the intention of making Chen Xi the crown prince, I am afraid that such a thing can be done, then she is a very smart woman in the first place.

Besides, Li Yiran, although Li Yiran was locked in a dark room in Qiwu Palace, but she has ruled the harem for so many years, there are always some hidden forces, I am afraid that no one except her knows, if that The saltpeter powder in the dark room was really brought in by Li Yiran, which just shows that she still has someone to help her in the palace, and I'm afraid there are people outside the palace, so destroying the post-edict is not an act. less than.

However, it was Ning Yunshang who Emperor Ning was most suspicious of.

He couldn't understand this daughter more and more. Ning Yunshang didn't like Jing Wenxi. Should it be exactly what she expected?

Emperor Ning was silent for a while, but he just ordered to re-post the notice. In the evening, he sent guards to guard in front of the notice boards. It's getting higher and higher, and there is still no evidence to prove that she did it. It would be inappropriate to ask rashly.

It's just that Emperor Ning never thought that even though he sent guards to guard it all night long, there would still be something wrong with the edict. In the morning of the next day, the edict was still stained red as if soaked in blood.

Prime Minister Jing cried in the Jinluan Hall in the early court, saying that someone was framed and was an enemy of the entire Ning Kingdom. If a thief is found, he will be killed without hesitation. As a result, the people in the imperial city were also panicked, but on the third day, something happened to the imperial edict.

What happened was not only the post-sealing edicts in the heavily guarded imperial city, but also the post-sealing edicts posted in several adjacent cities. The same happened.

Immediately, the rumors became more and more popular. Some people went to Ningguo Temple to ask Abbot Wuna for a hexagram, but Abbot Wuna explained it himself. As soon as this remark came out, the people of Ning Kingdom became even more flustered. Some people even saw what happened in Laifeng City, so they talked about it. They only said that Jing Wenxi was vicious and vicious. She even gave the newborn little prince what the patient with acne had used, causing the little prince to almost die.

The news spread in surprise, causing all the people in the imperial city to kneel outside the palace, begging the emperor to take back the imperial edict that made Jing Wenxi the empress.

And the fire in Qiwu Palace has also made some progress. The maid who delivered food to Li Yiran was recruited after being tortured. She only said that she had been punished by Li Yiran and held a grudge against Li Yiran in her heart. When I was going to deliver the meal, I remembered that the emperor ordered Jing Wenxi to be the empress, so I told her about it. Unexpectedly, Li Yiran laughed for a long time after hearing this, and kept saying that she and Xiao Shujin had been fighting for nearly twenty years, but she didn't expect that neither of them won, and they lost to a yellow-haired girl.

The maid said that she didn't know what happened afterwards.

However, where did the things in Li Yiran's hands that ignited the fire and even blew up the stone gate come from?

Emperor Ning waved his hand and told the commander of the imperial guards to retreat, and fell silent. Director Zheng was silent for a moment, before saying, "Your Majesty, since I came back from the Fengcheng Palace, there is no one guarding the Qiwu Palace. I'm afraid that if you are a master, it is very easy to send something in."

Emperor Ning nodded, but still did not speak.

What he was thinking about in his heart was the hexagram of Abbot Wuna. Abbot Wuna has a high prestige among the people, but he also has a very good relationship with Yunshang. When Abbot Wuna got involved in this matter, Emperor Ning felt more and more that he could not get rid of Yunshang.

"Come here, tell Princess Jing to enter the palace." Emperor Ning raised his voice, and there was a chorus from outside, Director Zheng frowned slightly, opened his mouth, but in the end he just lowered his head.

In Prince Jing's mansion, because the weather was fine today, Yunshang asked someone to set up a fire by the lake in the mansion, set up some food and moved a soft couch with Prince Jing to bask in the sun and read a book by the lake.

The winter sun was very mild, and Yun Chang felt a little drowsy under the sun. Perhaps it was because Prince Jing had just opened meat, and the entanglement these days and nights made Yun Chang a little unbearable. Thinking of this, Yunshang glared at the man beside him. Prince Jing went in without knowing it, reached out and touched Yunshang's hair, then lowered his head to read the book again.

The butler came in and saw this scene, two men and women who were equally outstanding were leaning on the soft couch, their posture was laziness, they occasionally talked softly, most of the time they just read books by themselves, But also very harmonious.

With a smile on his lips, the butler stopped a foot away from the two of them, "There is an order from the palace to let the princess enter the palace."

Yun Shang heard the words, turned her head, nodded with a careless attitude on her face, but yawned lightly and said to the man beside her, "I thought that the second day when the accident happened in Qiwu Palace, Father Then he will call me into the palace, it seems that the emperor's patience is better than I imagined." Then he stood up and straightened his slightly messy clothes, "I'll go into the palace first."

Prince Jing nodded.

After Yunshang entered the palace, she saw two people she didn't like to see outside the Hall of Qinzheng. Yunshang squinted her eyes and smiled lightly, but she didn't catch her eyes. "Master Jing and Miss Jing are also here to visit Father's?"\u003c
