Chapter 238 Suspicions in the Royal Palace

Murong Qing knew that it could only go as far as this, and asking might arouse suspicion.

So she poured a bowl of hot tea, handed it to the imperial concubine and said, "Your Majesty, please have a cup of hot tea."

The imperial concubine opened her eyes, her brows filled with exhaustion. She waved her hand and said in a low voice, "Madam, please go back to the side hall. I am a little tired, so I won't see Madam off."

Murong Qing put the hot tea back on the table, "Okay, then I'll take my leave first, so that I can have a good rest."

After taking one last look at the decadent imperial concubine, Murong Qing left the main hall calmly.

But her heart was far from as indifferent as her face. She was as shocked as the waves roaring and the earth collapsing.

As night fell, Murong lay in bed early in the morning and thought about it.

This deep palace was far from as peaceful as she thought. Underneath this tranquility were surging undercurrents and treacherous clouds.

In this world, the highest and most severe is the imperial power, and the most dark and dark is also the imperial power.

What kind of role does the imperial concubine play in it?

Not like a lantern, not like a torch, more like a burning building!

The sound outside the door woke Ping'er up, and she asked, "What's going on? It's on fire!"

"Come out! The Queen has been rescued!"

She sighed, and suddenly felt that the little guy in her belly was kicking herself again. She frowned and patted her belly, hoping that the little guy would be quieter.

Murong Qing said in her heart, no, I really can't stay in this palace any longer, since I can't find out anything anyway, I might as well leave the palace early tomorrow morning!

Fortunately, the Queen has escaped from the fire scene, and those who did not come out were just some nameless pawns.

This is a web with many crawling spiders inside. Rufei became a cicada caught in the net. Everyone was well fed, but she was the only one who died.

The palace maid's face was blackened, and she was obviously someone who had come out of the fire. "Madam, the Queen's Purple Fortune Palace is on fire. The fire is too big and it has not been extinguished yet. I have to rush to put out the fire. I'll go first."

Gone."

The area twenty feet in front of the palace is as bright as daylight, and the hot breath can be felt from the area fifteen feet away.

There was a loud noise, the beams collapsed, and the plaque of Zifu Palace fell to the ground and fell into pieces.

Even if someone knows the secrets of the royal family, they can be arrested and killed on any charges. Why is it so complicated?

Ping'er could only follow Murong Qing towards the noisy Zifu Palace.

"Ping'er, pick up the bucket and follow me to the queen's palace to put out the fire."

Is it true that she has a relationship with Pei Mo's mother, Rufei, as she said?

The imperial doctor had arrived a long time ago. At this time, several imperial doctors surrounded the queen, followed by palace maids and eunuchs, and the crowd was tight.

In the two-story palace, the flames licked the eaves.

She just felt like her mind was in a mess, and there were more and more doubts.

More and more guards and eunuchs rushed into the fire scene, making the situation even more tense.

It was only when Murong Qing arrived that he realized that he was simply delusional.

Murong Qing suddenly woke up and gasped while pressing his painful Naoren. After a long time, it didn't feel better, and even his stomach began to hurt.

"Send the message to the imperial doctor quickly!"

Then only the Queen of the Middle Palace was left. Murong Qing's heart sank. If she was the Queen, then there would be even more things involved, ranging from the Queen Mother and the Queen's mother's family to the low-ranking officials and literati who had received favors from the Queen's mother's family.

and various staff.

She lay weakly, with her hands on her belly. The child in her belly became even more cheerful, kicking her belly time and time again.

Even so, everyone present had different expressions, except Concubine Rong.

"What's going on? Which palace is on fire? Is it serious?"

Of course, not only imperial concubines can make a concubine who gave birth to an heir die unexpectedly, and disappear to the point where no one even mentions it among civil and military officials, which shows how complicated the power and gains hidden inside are.

Apart from them, Murong Qing could not think of anyone else who had such great power to let a person die completely.

Then I thought about it, if you were the current emperor, it would not be easy to execute a concubine.

Murong Qing said, "I won't carry water, I will just watch from a distance. Let's leave quickly. If we get there in time, we will still be successful in putting out the fire."

Ping'er was amazed that many of the palace maids and eunuchs who had just arrived to put out the fire had the same reaction as her.

Of course Murong Qing would not just look at it as she said, she even wanted to get close to the queen. It would be better if she could talk to her.

From a distance, he didn't notice anything. It wasn't until the Zifu Palace was completely displayed in front of his eyes that Murong Qing realized how fierce the fire was.

Murong Qing could only give up the idea of ​​stepping forward to check on the queen's condition.

The hatred in Concubine Rong's eyes deepened, as if she wanted the Queen to die in that fire.

So Murong Qing further confirmed that the imperial concubine and the empress had a lot of grudges.

She stood up and opened the door, and sure enough, the palace in the distance was on fire, almost lighting up the dark sky nearby.

"No, the beams are about to collapse, and the Queen is still inside! Someone come quickly!"

A fire in the house brought half of the harem together in front of the Zifu Palace. Murong Qing even saw Concubine Rong here.

Murong Qing could only sit up, lift up the gauze curtain, and see the faint light of fire outside.

At least, the emperor and empress were insiders at the scene, and they were also the people most likely to kill Rufei.

After thinking about it, Murong Qing fell asleep unconsciously, her frown showing her uneasiness.

Questions came one after another.

"Queen?" Murong Qing murmured the word.

I didn't notice anything at first, but when I looked at the imperial concubine carefully, I found hatred flashing in her eyes.

Seeing a mess of eunuchs and palace maids outside the Moonlight Gate from a distance, I made a decision in my heart.

I saw a eunuch coming out from the door of the blazing palace, carrying an unconscious woman on his back, who was obviously the empress.

The surroundings were very noisy, with the shouts of men, the sound of splashing water, and the sound of buildings collapsing, all mixed together into a chaotic mess.

A cry of surprise came out in front of the fire, awakening Murong Qing who was deep in thought.

Murong Qing saw a palace maid passing by carrying a bucket, and she quickly stepped forward to stop him.

She had a nightmare, in which many people whose faces they could not see clearly beat and scolded her, accused her, and finally tied her up and tried to chop her with a guillotine.

After she felt less uncomfortable, she turned over and faced the gauze curtain. When she closed her eyes, she felt like there was a flickering light outside, which made her sleepless.

Murong Qing was sure that he was right, that was hatred, hatred that was so deep that he hated her to the core.

With that said, he staggered and ran to put out the fire with water.

"Oh my God!"

Ping'er was a little surprised, "Madam, you are heavy and heavy. I can put out the fire. You'd better not go."

Someone shouted loudly, and as soon as he finished speaking, "Boom——"

A maid shouted hoarsely, presumably the maid next to the queen.

The little guy seems to be particularly noisy tonight.

Murong Qing felt a little uncomfortable due to the hot breath and turned around to leave.

Unexpectedly, he ran into a steely and rigid embrace.

Murong Qing looked up and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
