When the Queen of Crazy Criticism took the HE script and killed it

Chapter 166 Who is it?
Wen Xing clenched her cuffs tightly, almost gasping for breath.

She lowered her head and didn't say a word. The imperial doctor who was treating Concubine Yuan finally came out and turned everyone's attention. It's hard to talk for a while.

Fortunately, the one who was rescued saved her life in time. The women's doctor's office checked the concubine Yuan, and there was no sign of burns and disfigurement, so she can rest assured.

"Yeah." Zhao Zongheng nodded indifferently after hearing this, as if he just knew that the person was not dead, he patted the corner of his clothes and said: "They are all in custody, and we will interrogate them one by one tomorrow after we find out the source of the fire."

"How is the injury of the guard who rescued Concubine Yuan?" Just as Zhao Zongheng was about to leave, he suddenly paused and turned his head to ask.

"Ah..." The imperial doctor was stunned for a moment and quickly lowered his head, "The bodyguard Qin's back was burned, and there was hardly a piece of good meat in his eyes. The situation is a bit serious..."

"Cure him." Zhao Zongheng's eyes darkened, and he gave a death order.

"This humble minister will definitely do his best." The imperial physician panicked and knelt down to accept the order.

The emperor had such a dull look towards the concubine Yuan, he would go in and take a look before leaving, but why did he attach so much importance to a little-known guard who saved the concubine Yuan?
The imperial doctor lowered his head and didn't dare to think about it anymore, and respectfully sent the emperor and queen away.

This uproar was already in the middle of the night, and it was almost dawn when Si Ningchi returned to Fengwu Palace to wash and lie down.

Zhao Zongheng didn't go back to Chengming Palace either, and followed Si Ningchi to take a rest in Fengwu Palace, feeling like he was about to get up and face him without covering the bed...

Zhao Zongheng was in low spirits, and looked back at Si Ningchi who was curled up in bed and sleeping soundly, and sighed secretly, what a beautiful night, why there are so many bad things going on, originally he wanted to enjoy the stars with her and talk about the future .

Make some great memories...

If he knew what it would look like, what should he do...

Zhao Zongheng's thoughts were wandering, and he could still remember Si Ningchi's sweetly smiling face, seductive figure, and slender neck with his head raised up on the stargazing platform, all of which were seductive.

To sum it up in one word, he is too greedy.

Ugh.

Zhao Zongheng came back to his senses, Wang Chengxiang had already fastened his belt, bowed and smiled at him and said, "Your Majesty, you can go to court now."

Look at the smiling old face, Zhao Zongheng's erratic and charming thoughts just disappeared in an instant, his face collapsed and he lifted his feet expressionlessly and went out.

Si Ningchi slept until Zhao Zongheng went down to court for a while before waking up, and the news of the flood in the Concubine Yuan's palace last night also attracted many people to watch, the house that had been burned by the fire could no longer see its original appearance.

The people from the Punishment Department got the emperor's order and came to search for the cause of the fire in Yuming Palace.

It's a pity that the fire has been burning for too long, and the things inside are basically beyond recognition. After washing it with water countless times, it is barely known that the place where the fire started is the dormitory of the imperial concubine Yuan.

With such a big fire, it is impossible for Concubine Yuan to be safe and sound.

"Investigate." Zhao Zongheng didn't want to listen to those unnecessary nonsense, and ordered to investigate the matter strictly.

Si Ningchi also got the news in Fengwu Palace, so he turned around and called Shen Ting, and told him to go and check if he had nothing to do, but she really wanted to know what Concubine Yuan wanted to do with this whole incident.

During this period, the Department of Punishment asked Qin Huai, and also the Concubine Yuan who had woken up, but because Concubine Yuan's voice was damaged, she could only speak briefly.

After repeated investigations for four or five days, I finally came to the conclusion that the ordinary candle flames had disappeared, and Concubine Yuan did not rest in the sleeping hall that day, but slept in the side hall, saying that she could not sleep and always dreamed Meet the late Concubine Rong.

Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Rong and Concubine Yuan were the best friends at the beginning. Concubine Yuan felt that Concubine Rong was in the sleeping hall, so she was a little scared and went to sleep in the side hall.

As soon as the words came out, there were endless comments from the gods and ghosts in the palace, all saying that the fire might be caused by the ghost of Concubine Rong, otherwise even if the candlestick lit the curtain, it would not be able to burn such a big fire!

Everyone said that Concubine Rong wanted to pull Concubine Yuan down to accompany her.

All of a sudden, this kind of rhetoric was spread everywhere, and it was almost to the point of being unwavering.

Concubine Rong's ghost has returned, causing panic in the palace.

If you want to continue to investigate, you can't help but bring up this matter again, but the concubine Yuan over there was talking about it, and then turned around and had a high fever, which simply added fuel to the rumors.

As a last resort, Zhao Zongheng had no choice but to suspend the investigation of this matter. After repeatedly reading the confessions of Concubine Yuan and the palace officials of Yuming Palace, he suppressed this matter for the time being. There are obviously big loopholes in these matters.

"After the limelight of this matter has passed, we will investigate secretly." Zhao Zongheng pressed the file in his hand, obviously he did not intend to rush the matter.

"The slave obeys the order."

On the other hand, Shen Ting found some things that the Punishment Department did not find.

Si Ningchi looked at the things Shen Ting brought back and blinked. What was placed on the tray was a corner of burnt paper that was unrecognizable. It was yellow and couldn't make out the original appearance. She stared for a long time and looked up at Shen Ting Asked: "What is this?"

"The slaves found it from the ruins." Shen Ting stood beside him with his head bowed and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, look carefully at the texture of this paper."

"This paper is yellow paper." Shen Ting said with a steady smile, "It's only for sacrifices and ceremonies."

"It was used by others, but it was burned to the dead."

After Shen Ting's words fell, Si Ningchi suddenly came to his senses, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Concubine Yuan is burning paper in her own palace?"

Shen Ting nodded with a smile on his lips, raised his eyes to look at Si Ningchi and said: "According to my servant, the fire in the imperial concubine Yuan's palace should be caused by improper burning."

Private worship is absolutely not allowed in this palace, and burning paper is even more taboo. Concubine Yuan did not dare to go out to burn paper, so she only dared to burn paper in her own palace. Obviously, what she burned was for Concubine Rong, so here comes the problem Clean up after burning, why did it cause such a big fire?
If she accidentally started a fire when she was burning, it wouldn't be a big problem to put it out. If she couldn't put it out, how would she escape by herself?

"There's still something wrong." Si Ningchi frowned slightly and pondered.

"Yes." Shen Ting followed with a nod and said: "My servant guesses that Concubine Yuan set the fire herself, but I still haven't figured out why Concubine Yuan set fire to it. In order to cover up the scene of burning paper, she burned the whole palace?"

Si Ningchi slightly bent his lips and smiled, and suddenly felt that things became interesting.

How did the words about Concubine Rong's ghost return spread around the palace?
Si Ningchi propped his chin and gave a soft laugh, blinked and smiled at Shen Ting: "Since you have doubts, then continue to investigate. I really want to see who is behind the scenes."

　I won’t talk about explosive updates, I’ll talk about them after the explosion is over.

　　Hey, just for fun~
