Difficult strategy? The Queen's top white lotus, directly grasp

"In this case, Concubine Qi is asking for trouble. She thought she could turn things around and become a favorite concubine, but she ended up being a prisoner."

If you want to plot against Song Chuji, you are still too young.

"Okay, wait and see. There will be a good show tonight. The palace gates will be closed tightly."

Hui'an responded.

Into the night

……

Sure enough, something happened.

A terrified scream pierced the night sky, followed by a chaotic uproar.

"Fire! Fire! The Chuxiu Palace is on fire!" Xiaorong, a maid in the Chuxiu Palace, was the first to see it. Her voice was sharp and piercing. Her face was pale and her fingers were trembling as she pointed at the small compartment on the east side.

The other panic-stricken palace maids put on their clothes and crawled out of the house, only to see that a corner of the small compartment had been engulfed by a raging fire, the firelight illuminating their terrified faces.

The fire spread very quickly, as if it had life, greedily licking every inch of combustible material. Thick smoke billowed, accompanied by crackling sounds, and the flames jumped and threatened the people who approached.

The entire Chuxiu Palace was surrounded by a thick flame, and some people were already having difficulty breathing.

The eunuchs came with water to put out the fire, but it seemed to be of no use. The fire was so big that it was almost out of control.

They desperately tried to draw water from the well, but found that the buckets were not enough to put out the raging fire.

The fire was like a ferocious beast, constantly expanding its territory and turning all beauty and tranquility into ashes.

"Go and inform His Majesty! Quick!"

Your Majesty has been bothered by Grand Tutor Qi the entire day today, and he should have rested in the Imperial Study by now.

His voice was almost drowned out by the roar of the sea of ​​fire. Several eunuchs immediately turned around and ran deep into the palace, their footsteps hurried and heavy for such a big thing.

It's strange to say, has Concubine Qi offended anyone recently? It seems that everything that happens is directed at her.

Supported by her palace maids, Concubine Qi stood in the middle of the yard with a pale face, her eyes full of helplessness and panic, but if you look closely, you can find a hint of expectation in her expression.

Many treasures were reduced to ashes in a sudden fire.

The fire was raging, as if it would devour everything. Flames shot up into the sky, smoke billowed, and the entire palace fell into chaos and panic.

Eventually, the entire harem was alarmed, and everyone participated in putting out the fire, which was finally put out.

Finally, when the faint flame was extinguished and the last wisp of smoke rose into the sky, Chuxiu Palace finally returned to peace.

The once magnificent palace is now only left with devastation and ruins.

When Song Chuji arrived, the entire harem was alarmed.

"Your Majesty is here!"

"I have met your Majesty. May your Majesty be blessed with good health!"

A group of people knelt on the ground in unison.

"What's going on? Someone explain it to me!"

Song Chuji frowned in disgust when his eyes passed over Concubine Qi. Today in the court, Grand Tutor Qi never mentioned the matter of protecting her. Instead, he kept talking about other things, saying something about sending his concubine's daughter into the palace to be a noble lady.

how?

No one wants the women in their Qi family, so they have to bring them all into his harem?

Even his illegitimate son Yao Peiyuan couldn't help but criticize him.

I really don't know whether it is Grand Tutor Qi's daughter who wants to marry His Majesty as a concubine, or Grand Tutor Qi himself who wants to marry him?

It's a bit too aggressive to be so eager.

The maidservant beside Concubine Qi knelt on the ground, crying loudly and kowtowed, saying, "The Queen came today and threatened my Queen with many words. She also said something about asking the Queen to recognize her status. She even dared to harm her. If she wanted to kill the Queen, it would be like crushing an ant."

She was the little maid who was willing to stay and serve Concubine Qi.

When Song Chuji heard this, he looked over and saw the maid being slapped in the face by Concubine Qi.

"Shut up! Are you qualified to slander the Queen?"

She looked at Song Chuji with a pitiful look in her eyes, "Your Majesty, it shouldn't be the Queen who started the fire. Please investigate it!"

The tea aroma in this tea made Wang Xiaorui angry.

Why are you pretending? Aren't you just trying to harm the Queen?

Alas, the Queen is so pitiful, always being secretly harmed by these villains.

Song Chuji curled the corners of his lips wickedly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her instantly became sharp and cold, like a sharp blade, which made Concubine Qi feel creepy.

"Oh? You said the Queen set the fire to kill you? Do you have any evidence?"

Nie Shuangshuang had stopped him from taking action before, but it turned out that she wanted to do it herself?

He really thought that there were people in this world who were kind enough to repay evil with kindness, but he didn't expect that they were actually doing something behind his back.

If it were someone else, they would definitely punish her severely, but if it was Nie Shuangshuang, then it was nothing. He was just angry that she was still acting in front of him.

Concubine Qi looked at his expression and couldn't guess what he meant for a moment, nor could she understand what he was thinking.

I couldn't understand any of His Majesty's joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. I just felt that I dared not offend His Majesty's divine power, and even looking at him would be a blasphemy.

The air around him seemed to be infected by his emotions, becoming strangely depressing.

"I...I don't know either, but the Queen did look at me and said something threatening to me..."

"Snapped!"

A slap landed directly on her face.

"Just because the Queen came to see you, you slandered her and threw dirty water on her, Concubine Qi, I think you are courting death!"

Since there was no evidence, he would not punish the queen for it.

At this time, a trembling little palace maid came out and knelt down, saying in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, it was indeed the Queen... She gave this to me... and asked me to set fire to and burn Concubine Qi to death!"

Song Chuji casually glanced at what she was holding, but could no longer control his emotions.

That was the hairpin he gave her when they first met. She had always held it in her arms like a treasure, but she never expected it to be in the hands of this palace maid.

Taking the hairpin, Song Chuji's eyes were gloomy, and that aura was enough to scare people to death.

"This is indeed the Queen's hairpin, why is it with you?"

The maid insisted that the Queen gave her the reward to set fire to Concubine Qi.

There was an uproar in the harem.

"What is the Queen singing this evening?"

"Yes! Your Majesty has already said that Concubine Qi should be executed. She herself asked for mercy."

"So she wanted to pretend to be virtuous in front of His Majesty, but in fact she was secretly harming others' lives. How insidious!"

"That's right! She always looked like a living Buddha and was kind to everyone, but I didn't expect she was such a person!"

……

"Shut up! If you say anything else, you will all be killed!"

Song Chuji looked at the hairpin in his hand and spoke in a low voice, but those who were chattering and gossiping all shut their mouths and dared not make a sound.
