Chapter 242 Who started the fire?

Wuyi said nothing, and in Murong Qing's eyes he acquiesced.

Murong Qing was a little surprised. After all, she had witnessed the fire with her own eyes. The Queen's Purple Fortune Palace was burned down to a charred wooden frame.

I didn't expect that the fire was set by the general.

On May Day, I didn't ask any more questions. The general had his own reasons for what he did.

"Why did the general do this?" Murong Qing asked with a frown.

Wu Yi shook his head with a grimace, "Madam, I don't know about this young one. The general didn't tell me the reason. He just asked me to prepare fire sticks and some flammable things. After preparing the things, he seemed to go in the direction of the palace.

.”

The reason why Wuyi became Liu Shen's apprentice was because he understood the principle of keeping one's own integrity, doing what one should do, not doing what one should not do, and not overstepping what one should not ask.

After hearing this, Murong Qing lowered his eyes and thought, brainstorming for a while, and suddenly remembered the terrifying possibility that he had realized in the side hall of Huichun Palace.

Murong Qing said, "I understand, you didn't tell anyone else about this."

"No, not many people know about this matter. Madam, you are the third one to know." Wuyi said confidently.

Murong Qing's mind was filled with ups and downs, but he still knelt down and helped Wu Yi up and said, "Okay, you get up first. I don't mean to blame you. As long as you work well for the General's Mansion, the General and I will not treat you badly."

.”

Murong Qing asked again, "Then why did the general set fire to the imperial concubine's palace again?"

"General, if you don't come back, I will go to the palace to find you!"

Pei Mo frowned, "I never said I would set fire to the queen's palace. How could I say that to you on May Day?"

Ping'er felt happy when he saw the general coming back. At least his wife didn't have to worry so much that she couldn't sleep all night, so she closed the door of the wing with great joy, letting the two people in the room be warm.

It turns out this was all a misunderstanding.

This is what happened. It was just that Murong Qing deduced from the information in the concubine's mouth that Concubine Ru's death might be related to the queen, so she thought that Pei Mo also knew about it, so he set fire to the queen to take revenge.

"Ah?" Murong Qing was confused, "Didn't May Day say that the general set the fire?"

The answer every time she asked was no. No one knew how worried she was.

After the May Day promise, I originally wanted to leave, but seeing my wife's depressed look, I felt a little soft-hearted, so I said, "Madam, don't worry, the general has his own way to deal with it. Besides, the general will never do something without a reason. Here,

Before, the general seemed to be disgusted every time he mentioned the current queen..."

"So that's it. Now the second prince doesn't dare to do anything to the general."

"I made Madam worried, but now it's okay. The Second Prince can't do anything to me."

However, seeing Wu Yi's sincere admission of his mistake and Murong Qing's tolerance, Pei Mo did not pursue Wu Yi's random speculation.

This made Murong Qing laugh, "It turns out that the general did it for me. It seems that I blamed the general wrongly. Don't let the general come back again. Do you think I'm back?"

But at this moment, her heart was not as calm as it seemed.

Murong Qing suddenly threw herself into Pei Mo's arms.

People in high positions are taboo about people around them guessing their thoughts. Even if the general rarely punishes his subordinates, Wuyi has been bullied since he was a child. Of course he knows these undercurrents, so whether the general or his wife take it to heart or not, he still first

It's better to kneel down and apologize.

It's not that she can't see Wuyi's loyalty. Murong Qing never makes things difficult for those who are loyal to her.

The person who came had a face that was tired from not sleeping all night, but his eyes were full of energy and he looked at her with a gentle smile.

Murong Qing took Pei Mo's hand and said.

Pei Mo said with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone.

May Day was trembling with fear, and he was even more convinced that he had said the wrong thing because of his talkativeness.

"Knowing that you won't come back unless you find some clues, I have to think of a way to cause trouble and give you a chance to go to the Palace of Rejuvenation to get the clues. Only in this way will you be willing to come back."

"It turns out that the general ordered people to prepare a fire to burn down the imperial concubine's palace. It seems that this is not to blame on May Day. It was me who preconceived the idea. May Day did not clearly say that the general set fire to the queen's palace, so the general should not blame him.

He got it."

Pei Mo took her into his arms and gently smelled the fragrance in her hair, feeling that all the fatigue in his body disappeared instantly.

Just as she was getting ready to go, Ping'er's surprised voice came from outside the door, "Madam, the general is back!"

She also thought about whether the second prince's face, which was always uncertain because he had lost his lifeblood, would take this opportunity to bite Pei Mo.

He added, "As soon as I sneaked into the palace, the queen's palace was already on fire. Everyone in the palace was alarmed. I could only throw away the fire and make another plan, but I didn't want to see you come out, so I changed it."

Come out to see you with all your clothes on."

"That's good, don't mention this matter again in the future."

The fire in the queen's palace happened so suddenly that even Pei Mo himself didn't expect it.

Murong Qing's heart sank, Pei Mo hadn't come back yet, and the second prince had long been dissatisfied with Pei Mo. If the second prince found out something, Pei Mo might not be able to escape.

The more he thought about it, the less he understood it, so he called Wuyi to ask him face to face.

For the first time, Murong Qing truly felt what it meant to live like a year.

When the door was pushed open, Murong Qing looked back with a happy face.

Murong Qing remembered the business and asked, "General, did you set the fire in the Queen's Palace? Why did you do this?"

That night she never waited for Pei Mo to return home.

At three o'clock in the morning, Murong Qing couldn't wait any longer and decided to go to the palace to see the situation.

Pei Mo was not angry, but he felt heartbroken knowing that she had been up all night with worry.

Pei Mo was surprised, "No, why does Madam think so?"

Wuyi's words suddenly stopped. He raised his hand and slapped his mouth, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Damn it, you dare to speculate on the general's thoughts. Madam, don't take it to heart. These are just random guesses.

"

She thought about her guess about who killed Ru Fei. Could it be that Pei Mo had known something for a long time, but due to the high status of the Queen of the Central Palace, she did not dare to act rashly. It was not until today that she could not bear to do anything to the Queen.

?

At Yinshi, Murong Qing could no longer hold back his sleepiness, so he went back to the wing to rest. However, he would open his eyes every half an hour, and then asked the general in confusion if he had returned home.

Only then did Murong Qing feel relieved.

"Yeah." Pei Mo chuckled, "No matter who started the fire, it has nothing to do with me anyway."

Murong Qing nodded in agreement, "Yes, I don't know who was so bold. The queen's palace was almost burned to the ground."

For some reason, Murong Qing felt as if he had omitted some important information.
