Chapter 336 Sudden anger

I heard that thanks to Yuliu yesterday, the empress was able to survive, even though she used to be Baishao, but Zhizi and Zhiqiu don't mind these anymore.

Zhizi's eyes dimmed, she lowered her head, Zhiqiu came back to her senses, and persuaded: "Okay, Zhizi, let's talk about it after your mother wakes up!"

Yu Liu let go of her, twisted the warm veil for Shang Kelan and wiped her face.

Shang Kelan slowly opened his eyes, but the eyes that were originally lively were now dimmed, and the eyes that were originally quiet and deep did not show any emotion, as if they had changed overnight.

"Your Majesty, are you awake? The servant will wash you up."

As soon as the words fell, Yu Liu helped her up.

Zhizi and Zhiqiu also found her clothes and hot tea respectively.

Shang Kelan pushed back Yuliu's hand, raised her eyes to look at the snow outside the window, and said calmly, "How did the fire in Xianya Palace start?"

Frowning, Yuliu explained: "The news came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs just now. After preliminary identification, it has been determined that the maid in the kitchen did not operate properly. When the wine was knocked over, the fire in the stove was caused. When the fire spread, there was no fire. People found out, and by the time they found out, it was too late, and the kitchen was connected to the woodshed.”

As soon as the words fell, Shang Kelan smiled and said, "Okay, this is a message from a servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Take me to have a look."

Zhi Zi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, you have an injury on your leg and need to recuperate."

Zhiqiu also nodded in agreement.

Shang Kelan looked at them coldly, and suddenly stepped forward and slapped them one by one, and said angrily, "What are you doing for Ben Gong? Where were you when Ben Gong had an accident last night? Everyone is hypocritical." Yes, what kind of hypocrisy are you pretending to be in front of me? Get out of here! Get out!"

"Snapped!"

The clear and crisp slap came down, so hard that Zhiqiu and Zhizi's faces turned red all of a sudden.

On the side, Yuliu's eyes darkened, but Zhiqiu and Zhizi looked at her in disbelief, then hurriedly knelt down, tears welling up in their eyes.

I only heard the two people explain pitifully: "Madam, I wanted to save you last night! But when I rushed over, you had already been rescued by Your Majesty. I also went to Xiaoxia and Wandong, but The fire was too big, and the servants couldn't get in at all..."

Saying that, Zhiqiu couldn't help crying.

Zhi Zi resisted the trembling voice and said: "The servant was beaten unconscious on the way back from the imperial hospital, and didn't come here until early in the morning..."

As soon as the words fell, Zhizi lowered her head.

Anger appeared on Shang Kelan's indifferent face, and he stepped forward and kicked each of them!
"what!"

Zhizi and Zhiqiu suffered from pain and fell to the ground. Shang Kelan flicked his long sleeves, and ordered with a stern look: "Come on! These two servants are not strong enough to protect the Lord, yet they dare to appear in front of me and try to argue Get rid of the crime, pull them down and beat them hard, and put me in limbo!"

"Without my order, no one is allowed to let them out! Wandong and Wenchun are dead, and you two don't want to escape!"

I didn't expect Shang Kelan to be so cruel and heartless, and so angry. Twenty big boards are enough to kill a weak woman, let alone Zhiqiu and Zhizi!

The two were shocked in place, and looked up at her in disbelief, forgetting to even beg for mercy!

At this moment, Fu Pu heard the movement, couldn't hold back, hurried in and knelt down to salute: "Please calm down, Concubine Chen! This servant thinks that this matter is all due to the lack of supervision by the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If it is just the kitchen How could no one have discovered the fire? I beg your empress to spare Zhizi and Zhiqiu! The servant must find out the truth about the fire as soon as possible!"

"Fu Pu, even you dare to intercede with them?"

Shang Kelan's cold eyes fell on Fu Pu, and for a moment, Fu Pu felt the pressure from Jin Yantang!

In an instant, a drop of cold sweat rolled down Fu Pu's forehead, and he lowered his head, no longer begging for mercy.

But Zhizi came back to her senses, smiled desolately, bowed her head and said calmly: "Thank you, my servant, for your reward and punishment!"

Only Zhiqiu stood there in a daze, and was taken down together with Zhizi by two servants.

Shang Kelan allowed Yuliu to help her get dressed, and she glanced at Fu Pu coldly, and said indifferently: "What are you still kneeling here for? Tell Your Majesty to see you, maybe how to punish me! Step back and do what you should do?"

"Yes, yes, the servant will leave!"

Fupu respectfully responded, and hurriedly ran outside.

After everyone had left, Shang Kelan sat down on the chair as if she was powerless, staring out the window with absent-minded eyes.

Yuliu came over, poured her a cup of tea, and said, "Your Majesty, when will you change?"

"Now, besides, where was Concubine Jia last night?"

Shang Kelan came back to her senses in an instant, and said this to Yuliu in her usual voice.

Hearing this, Yuliu's eyes flickered slightly: "Your Majesty thinks that this matter was done by Concubine Jia?"

Shang Kelan smiled, and turned to look at her: "It seems that you have already guessed in your heart, let me tell you."

Suddenly caught by Shang Kelan's unfathomable gaze, Yuliu's heart skipped a beat, she immediately lowered her head, and replied cautiously: "I'm going to tell you, my servant thought that this sudden fire must have been planned for a long time and deliberately caused by someone. Yes, it is impossible not to leave some clues, and we should start the investigation from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Shang Kelan nodded while listening, then clasped her hands, looked at her and said, "You're right, then I'll leave this matter to you, and if it's done, I can give you any rewards you want." Give you."

"Yes, it is a slave's blessing to serve the empress, and the slave must live up to the high expectations of the empress!"

Yuliu replied calmly, and then undressed Shang Kelan.

Cining Palace.

What the concubines talked about most was the fire in Xianya Palace last night.

"Last night, I watched the flames from afar in the East Palace! It's really scary!"

"That's right. It's a good thing that the Empress Dowager sent the imperial guards to fight the fire. Otherwise, I'm really worried that the fire from the Xianya Palace will reach the East Palace!"

"I heard that His Majesty rushed into the fire yesterday and rescued Concubine Chen. This Concubine Chen is really lucky!"

"Could someone set the fire on purpose? This fire is too scary!"

The Queen Mother sat on the main seat and rubbed the center of her brows with a headache. Finally, she couldn't help but patted the table heavily, and said angrily, "Shut up, Aijia!"

In an instant, the concubines were frightened, and the women in the entire hall fell silent.

The queen mother glanced at them and said: "All the concubines who put on good posture don't learn the posture, why do you want to learn from that gossip woman? The House of Internal Affairs has already investigated, and the fire was accidentally started by the maidservants of Xianya Palace in the kitchen In the future, tell the people in the palace to be more careful when cooking and boiling water, understand?"

"Yes, Empress Dowager!"

The concubines stood up and responded.

The Queen Mother rubbed the center of her eyebrows, then took a sip of tea and asked, "Why didn't Jia Zhaoyi and Concubine Jia come?"

Underneath, a concubine cautiously replied: "I heard that the empress Jiafei fell for some reason yesterday afternoon, and she was lying in Ximeng Palace all night. I'm afraid she won't be able to get up until now?"

Why did something happen to Xianya Palace and Concubine Jia?

The Empress Dowager frowned and said to everyone: "Now the harem is in charge of Concubine Jia, don't forget to pay her respects to Concubine Jia, and you must not be disrespectful to her just because something happened to her, do you understand?"
