"What?" As soon as she finished speaking, the imperial concubine stood up in shock, stared at the little eunuch and asked repeatedly: "Has the fire been put out? How is the Ninth Prince?"

The little eunuch gasped and said, "The man was caught before the fire was lit."

After hearing his words, the imperial concubine felt relieved. She turned to look at the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, I am a little worried about the Ninth Prince."

The Queen Mother sat high on her head, with a chill in her brows, and ordered: "Qingshan, follow the imperial concubine to the Awakening Moon Pavilion to take a look."

As for the Queen Mother herself, as well as the Empress and other female family members of the harem, they still have to stay in Tangyu Tower to entertain the princesses and the princesses and princesses in the clan.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"The slaves obey."

About half an hour later, Qingshan returned to Tangyu Tower.

She walked slowly to the Queen Mother's side, leaned close to the Queen Mother's ear, and whispered something.

Jiang Shiying couldn't hear what she said clearly, and could only guess from the change in the Queen Mother's face that the situation in Xingyue Pavilion was not serious.

I think so. The little eunuch who reported the news just now said that the arsonist was caught before the fire was lit. Everyone in the Awakening Moon Hall was probably a little frightened at most.

About half an hour passed before the Dragon Boat Festival officially ended.

The princesses and the female relatives of the clan resigned from the garden one after another, while the concubines of the harem went to visit the Xingyue Pavilion together.

No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, they all sighed that today was really lucky.

There was a kind smile on the queen's face: "Now that the person has been caught, the noble concubine does not need to worry too much. I think the result will be found out soon by the Criminal Division."

"What are you worried about? I'm not worried. I just don't know if you, the Queen, are worried?"

When she said this, the imperial concubine's eyes slightly raised, squinting in the direction of the queen, quite provocatively.

There were so many worries mentioned in this sentence that it made people's heads go crazy.

But everyone knows that what the imperial concubine means is that she suspects that the arson today was arranged by the queen.

Jiang Shiying thought to herself that the imperial concubine hated the wrong person this time. Even she herself, if she hadn't ordered the people from the Craftsman's Department to keep an eye on her secretly, she would have suspected the Queen.

Who doesn't know that the queen and the concubine have been old rivals for many years. As long as there is an opportunity to kill the other party, he will never hold back.

After all, Yi Meiren is the queen's cousin and takes the lead in charging into battle on her behalf.

"The Queen is very kind-hearted. What do you mean by this? Don't you think that your words are a little overstepping?"

Ning Guifei, who has always been quiet and quiet, started to choke people when she opened her mouth, but she was not left behind.

"Does the Imperial Concubine suspect that this matter was arranged by the Empress? The Empress is respectful to the world and has a compassionate heart. She treats me and other concubines and all the princes and princesses with kindness and gentleness. If the Imperial Concubine really speculates like this, then it is based on The heart of a villain will judge the heart of a gentleman."

Of course, the imperial concubine is not fighting alone.

Then I heard the concubine say: "The imperial concubine did not name anyone, saying that the arson incident was related to the empress. Why are Ning Guifei and Yi Mei so anxious?"

Jiang Shiying stood on the outside watching the excitement. At some point, Zhen Chongrong came to her side.

"The empress saved the fourth prince, and she was kind to Concubine Ning. When Concubine Qing was in the cold palace, I heard that it was Concubine Ning who took great care of her. Now, both Concubine Ning and Concubine Qing have let down the good intentions of Concubine Ning. , switch to others. I am really not worth it to you."

When saying this, Zhenchongrong lowered his voice. Only she and Jiang Shiying could hear this soft whisper clearly.

After Jiang Shiying heard this, she showed no anger at all, and a trace of amusement flashed in her eyes: "Oh? Isn't Zhen Chongrong worth it for me?"

Zhen Chongrong nodded, her face full of sincerity.

Jiang Shiying's lips curled up: "Then what do Zhen Chongrong think I should do?"

Zhen Chongrong said softly: "I don't know so much. I just think that if a person who has been favored does not repay the kindness, he will be struck by lightning."

Listening to her words, Jiang Shiying always felt that it was not just to provoke her, but also had a hint of separation.

Is there anyone who has received Zhen Chongrong's kindness but doesn't repay it, or even slaps him in the face?

Now is not the time to delve into this. At the moment, we have to get rid of this smart-aleck Zhen Chongrong.

"Has anyone ever said that you are quite similar to Lan Mei?"

Zhen Chongrong was stunned. Wasn't this talking about Ning Guifei and Qing Concubine? Why did the topic jump to Lan Meiren?

"What do you mean by this?"

"Lan Meiren also wanted to stir things up in my ears. Do you think she succeeded?"

After saying this, Zhen Chongrong took a deep look at her and said, "I am too talkative."

Jiang Shiying's eyes moved around her face twice, but without saying anything, she turned to look at the queen and the concubine.

The imperial concubine took two steps forward gently and stood in front of Ning Guifei and Yi Meiren: "I am talking to the queen, what do you want from me?"

Ning Guifei and Yi Meiren pursed their lips, but before they spoke, they heard the concubine's sarcastic words: "They are really two good dogs raised by the queen!"

"Noble concubine!" the queen shouted angrily: "All the people present are sisters from the harem. Even if you have a higher status, you shouldn't be so insulting to other concubines!"

The imperial concubine tilted her head and looked at Ning Guifei and Yi Meiren nonchalantly: "I was emotionally excited for a moment and made some mistakes. You two sisters, please don't mind."

Ning Guifei and Yi Meiren both said they didn't dare.

The imperial concubine glanced at the two of them, stopped entangled with them, and turned to look at the queen: "I am really worried about the queen, not suspicious of anything."

"What should I worry about?"

"The Queen is in charge of the harem, and everything in the garden today is also arranged by the Queen. In the midst of a good festival, evil things like arson happen to happen, which will inevitably show that the Queen is not doing things well. I don't know if His Majesty sees it in his eyes. I will punish the empress for this, and it would be bad if Feng Yin is left alone again."

At the end of the sentence, the imperial concubine protracted her voice and lowered her tone. When she looked at the queen, the words "with bad intentions" were clearly visible in her eyes.

How could the Queen not think of what she said? But even so, she couldn't show weakness in front of the noble concubine.

"It's time for your concubine to worry."

Without further ado, the Queen quickly left the Xingyue Pavilion with her people.

Jiang Shiying and other concubines did not stay long.

When stepping out of the courtyard, Jiang Shiying paused slightly and glanced at Concubine Shu.

She thought to herself that Concubine Shu was smart and steady, and it would be a pity to have such a son.
