The beautiful young woman smiled gently and said softly, "Uncle, I am not a ghost, I am Qinglin... the Qinglin you locked up and burned to death!"

The old man was so frightened that he trembled all over, shook his hands desperately and shouted, "It's not me who set the fire! It's not me who set the fire!"

The beautiful young woman smiled sweetly, "Uncle, if it wasn't you, who else could it be? At that time, I was imprisoned in Yuhua Palace. Without your order, outsiders could not enter... So don't deny it anymore!"

"It's not me! It's not me! I just had you locked up, but I didn't have anyone set you on fire..."

The beautiful young woman sighed quietly and said, "It's a pity that I died in the sea of ​​fire... I didn't get to see my son and husband for the last time... I was burned along with that thing..."

When Meng Jifei heard this, he carefully observed the emperor's uncle's expression, but he suddenly laughed wildly with triumph, "Hahahaha... Although I didn't set the fire, it was set in a way that suited my wishes! By the time the father and son of the Miao family came back from a long distance, the entire palace had been burned down... Humph, this is God's retribution for the Miao family!"

When Meng Jifei heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked!

That thing was burned in the fire? That's not right. The emperor clearly said that he had sent people to search the rubble field countless times but found nothing. How could it be burned?

He pulled the corner of his lips and said sarcastically: "Dai Sheng, you are lying! You clearly don't know the whereabouts of such a thing, but you are talking nonsense here!"

The old man looked up and said with disdain: "How could I not know! It must have been hidden by this stinky girl!"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Qinghe!

Meng Jifei looked at Qinghe in confusion, his brows wrinkled involuntarily...

This matter is becoming increasingly difficult...if things go wrong, Mrs. Jiang's life might be in danger!

……

A maid ran into the palace in a hurry and said to Concubine Jia, "Your Majesty, Madam Jiang and Master Meng are back!"

When Concubine Jia heard this, she immediately followed her out without saying a word!

Jingying and Concubine Rong looked at each other and were both extremely nervous!

If they don't handle this well, they will be in great danger once the truth is revealed in the future, and Jiang Yaonian will definitely not let them go!

Jingying was especially scared... The example of Li's mother and daughter was right in front of her! Although Jiang Yaonian didn't kill them for the sake of the little village girl, he still ordered people to beat them up every day in prison!

If he knew that I was involved in killing that little village girl, he would definitely make me pay with my life!

A huge fear struck Jingying's heart...she had to find a scapegoat to take the blame!

Who should I look for?

Although Jingying felt that the Li mother and daughter were very good candidates, if she wanted to reasonably direct the blame towards them, she had to make careful arrangements in advance!

What they are most afraid of is that if they fall into Jiang Yaonian's hands, they will be finished. He will definitely give them away everything!

Jingying hurriedly said goodbye to Concubine Rong and got on the sedan chair and went back.

In front of the palace gate.

Qing He, who had changed back into her own clothes, got off the sedan chair. Meng Jifei, who was waiting beside her, said, "Madam Jiang, I still have some things to take care of. Be careful on your way back!"

Qing He nodded and said in a clear and gentle voice, "Master Meng, please do as you wish!"

Meng Jifei nodded, turned and left.

Qinghe also got on another sedan chair that was waiting there.

Sitting in the sedan chair, she recalled the situation in the dungeon just now, and vaguely guessed the general cause and effect...

In order to win over the important court officials Miao family who held a large number of troops, the emperor of the previous dynasty betrothed his Princess Qinglin to the eldest son of the Miao family.

The old man imprisoned in the dungeon was the emperor's younger brother. When his elder brother was dying, he colluded with foreign invaders to rebel. As a result, he was captured by the Miao family and became a prisoner. The Miao family thus became the new generation of emperors. Only the poor Princess Qinglin died in the sea of ​​fire...

Qing He guessed that the thing the emperor asked her to ask about should be the imperial seal!

However, the uncle has been imprisoned in the dungeon for decades, but he has never revealed the whereabouts of the imperial seal, so the Miao family allowed him to live until today. However, they still go to the dungeon every month to ask about it...

Ever since the emperor saw that he looked exactly like Princess Qinglin, he thought of letting himself pretend to be Princess Qinglin to trick the uncle into revealing the whereabouts of the imperial seal...

When Qing He thought of this, she suddenly shuddered! She knew such a shocking secret. Would the emperor want to kill her to silence her?

An inexplicable and huge fear enveloped Qinghe's heart...

She felt her mind was in a mess, and the blood in her body seemed to be sucked out from the soles of her feet. For a moment, she didn't know what to do...

Just when she was terrified to the extreme, she suddenly felt the sedan stopped!

Then I heard the sedan bearer say outside: "Young Madam, please come down for a moment!"

Qing He's face suddenly changed when he heard this! He thought, this is the end!

When she went out today, she didn't bring either guards or maids with her. If anything happens to her, there won't even be anyone to collect her body!

The eunuch who went to pick her up today said that due to confidentiality, only she could enter the palace alone... Now that I think about it, could it be that the emperor had already planned this in advance and wanted to kill me to silence me afterwards?

At this time, the sedan bearer outside urged, "Madam, please come down for a moment. Someone wants to see you!"

Qinghe knew that this was a trick to trick her into getting out of the sedan chair. After hesitating for a while, she made up her mind and decided to get out!

It is a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that cannot be avoided!

Since the emperor is determined to kill her, she can't escape it even if she tries!

Anyway, this day will come sooner or later. The only regret is that Furong is still in the Jiang Mansion, waiting for me to take her back to my hometown. I hope Jiang Yaonian can take care of her food and clothing for the sake of our past love...

Qinghe straightened her clothes, lifted the curtain and walked down, only to see a beautiful woman in gorgeous dress standing in front of the sedan.

Tall figure, fair skin, beautiful facial features...it is Jiang Yaonian's sister, Concubine Jia!

Qing He was startled. She didn't expect it would be her...

Although she hated and resented this woman, she had no choice but to put on a smile and asked, "Sister, what are you waiting for?"

Jiang Jianian smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to say something to you..."

Qing He said openly, "Sister, please speak!"

She felt that although this woman dared to hug Jiang Yaonian and cry in private, she might not have the nerve to confront him about this in person!
