Longsha returned to Chuxiu Palace and first arranged for Nanny Yang and Baiduan to distribute rewards, medicine and gauze to the guards and eunuchs.

Then he took some water to wipe his face and upper body clean, wrapped his head, changed into odorless clothes, and then walked into the main hall of Chuxiu Palace to meet Wen Yuan.

"Did Nian agree to rescue him?"

Wen Yuan covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief that was also soaked in medicine.

In a fire, only a few people are burned to death directly, while the majority are poisoned to death by the toxic gases in the thick smoke.

Yikun Palace is too close to Chuxiu Palace, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Tomorrow, after the fire is out, she will burn some white vinegar outside the yard, sprinkle some medicine, and then fumigate with mugwort to make people feel at ease.

"To answer your Majesty, he was saved, but the imperial physician said that if he develops a fever tonight, it will be very dangerous."

"Well, okay."

Calculating the time, Nian Shilan stayed at the fire scene for nearly half an hour in order to put on a good show...

Nian Shilan is really a ruthless person.

As expected of a daughter of a general, she admired her courage.

Willing to cooperate and willing to give it his all, he is a good teammate.

"What else?"

"Suxi did not return to Yikun Palace yesterday evening. All the oil was used up. The one on duty tonight is Xiao Jinjia. In addition, the people in Shoukang Palace are dead and there is no evidence."

"Okay." Wen Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

All the chess pieces were moving according to the steps she set, bearing the fruits she wanted. All that was left was time.

……

At the same time, Yinzhen was already sitting in the main seat, personally trying the case.

The commander of the imperial guards, Jin Jia Baozhu, reported again the situation and clues of the fire in Sui Yuxuan.

“There is a strong smell of flower oil in the warm room of Suiyuxuan, the side hall, and even inside the main hall, but there is no oil stain outside the house or in the courtyard. I’m afraid this is not a fire, but arson.

And according to the burning marks, the fire in Suiyuxuan was burning from the inside out.

The situation in Yikun Palace was completely different from that in Suiyuxuan. The oil was spilled outside, even on the eaves.

Once the fire is ignited, it is unstoppable and it is difficult to put out before the oil runs out.

A huge fire started from the outside and engulfed the courtyard and palace, first breaking the roof beams and then blocking the doors and windows. If it weren’t for… the bold and orderly command of the palace maid just now, the empress in Yikun Palace would have been impossible to save.”

And the more fatal point is that the commander of the imperial guards did not mention it.

Everyone was shouting that there was a fire in Shuiyuxuan and everyone in the palace was mobilized, but no one came to support Yikun Palace.

If he said it wasn't intentional, he would just twist his head off and let the eunuchs kick it like a ball.

Damn it, just fight in the palace, why are they trying to harm the imperial guards!

If they really neglected the Yikun Palace tonight and caused the empress to die in the sea of ​​fire, all the imperial guards stationed in the palace tonight would be in trouble. Not to mention being beaten with a stick, it is very likely that they would lose their heads!

Not bringing trouble to the family is only out of the Emperor’s mercy.

If I can ignore the Yikun Palace today, I can ignore the Yangxin Palace tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow...

Leader Jinjia had already thought of an excuse for the emperor when he got angry.

Although he couldn't say these words, reporting the situation truthfully and emphasizing the suspicious points about the fire in Shuiyuxuan was his best revenge.

He is the eldest grandson of the Jinjia clan. He has been raised by his grandfather since he was a child. He has never suffered any injustice or been schemed against by anyone!

Others would weigh the pros and cons and hesitate when faced with these things, but not him! He is not afraid of these evil spirits!

To be honest, he is not afraid at all!

“In addition, when we rushed to Suiyuxuan to put out the fire, we captured a eunuch.

He claimed to be the eunuch in charge of Suiyuxuan, but I saw that he was acting suspiciously, so I sent someone to arrest him."

While reporting, several imperial guards brought the gagged young eunuch into the hall.

Zhen Huan saw Xiao Yunzi with her mouth gagged at a glance.

My heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Seeing Yinzhen's inquiring eyes, she had no time to think and could only quickly stand up and salute, and answered,

"Your Majesty, he is indeed Xiao Yunzi, the eunuch in charge of Suiyuxuan."

"Oh?"

After receiving the confirmation, Yinzhen nodded, raised his eyebrows and questioned Xiao Yunzi who was kneeling below,

"When the Suiyu Pavilion caught fire, you didn't help put out the fire, but instead acted sneakily. Why?!"

The relieved Xiao Yunzi immediately responded,

"Replying to your Majesty, I have discovered the arsonist and am preparing to tie him up."

"The arsonist?"

"Yes! I saw it clearly, it was Suxi! Suxi from Yikun Palace!"

Yikun Palace?

If only the Suiyuxuan caught fire, Yinzhen would naturally believe it without a doubt.

But now?

Nian Shilan in Yikun Palace is still in an uncertain state of life or death!

What do you all think of Shilan?

Trash Terminator?!

All the dirty things were pinned on her!

Isn't this bullying a fool...bullying her for not being good at arguing?

Thinking of this, Yinzhen frowned and shouted unhappily,

"Suxi? Then bring Suxi up here! I want to hear what he has to say!"

"Your Majesty...I was arrested by the Imperial Guards for no reason, and let...let Suxi escape!" While explaining the situation, Xiao Yunzi did not forget to flatter the Imperial Guards.

"Escaped? Then go find him! In the Forbidden City, is it possible to find someone alive and dead without even seeing their body?"

There were only a few palace servants left in the Yikun Palace, and since Dandan was moved to the Yongshou Palace this year, they naturally followed as well and were naturally interrogated.

However, before the imperial guards, Su Peisheng and others could find Su Xi and take him away, Song Zhi from the inner room came out first, kowtowed to everyone and said,

"In reply to the emperor, Suxi disappeared yesterday evening, and we couldn't find him in Yikun Palace all day. Finally, we had no choice but to report his disappearance to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for investigation."

Su Peisheng, who had gone out to conduct an investigation earlier, also came back to report.

"Your Majesty, the one on duty at the Yikun Palace also said the same thing.

They discovered that Suxi had not returned at the second watch yesterday, and felt something was wrong this afternoon, so they went to report the situation to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

I have already sent someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to verify the situation. As for where Su Xi is now... I have not found out yet."

The atmosphere gradually became tense.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other, and while they were comforting each other, their hearts were involuntarily hanging in the air.

It would be troublesome if we couldn’t catch Suxi now, or if he died without any evidence.

And Zhen Huan thought even more.

What happened today did not seem to be the work of Nian Shilan. He was more clever and far better than Cao Qinmo.

Once you fall into the trap, one thing leads to another, and piles of "ironclad evidence" come pouring down, which is really suffocating.

Zhen Huan suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

I’m afraid Su Xi can’t be found.

Xiao Yunzi...I'm afraid...

She had to quickly think of a way to protect herself, at least to get herself and Sister Mei out.

At this moment, there was suddenly movement outside the door.

The one who came was a young eunuch.

“Your Majesty, we found a charred body in the warehouse of Suiyuxuan.

We have sent someone to perform an autopsy. It turned out to be a eunuch about fifteen years old with a waist badge of Yikun Palace. After identification by the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he should be...Suxi."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

The arsonist mentioned by Xiao Yunzi, the eunuch in charge of Shuiyuxuan, was actually trapped and died in Shuiyuxuan's warehouse?

After being in the know for so long, Yixiu has roughly figured out the situation.

Although it is not clear who is behind today's attack, if Zhen Huan's arm can be removed at this time, it will be a great relief to everyone and it will be worth her walking around the palace in the severe cold.

So she slammed the table, stared at the little Yunzi who was kneeling on the ground with her mouth wide open in shock and disbelief, and said the first words since entering Yongshou Palace:

"Well, this is probably the thief crying thief.

"Deceiving the emperor and lying to superiors, the entire clan should be executed! You are just a eunuch in charge, how dare you!"
