In the chaos, the fire that ignited at the corner of Liu Xiaoxuan's skirt had been extinguished, but her whole body was already soaked. The emperor's face was hard and he hurriedly protected Liu Xiaoxuan by his side. The Queen Mother's face was as cold as ice.【】
During the canonization ceremony, first the queen was disfigured, and then Concubine Xue's clothes were burned. This was an ominous omen.
"I did not do my job well, please punish me." All the ministers and their families knelt down in fear, and all the concubines also knelt down. For a while, all the maids and servants waiting nearby knelt down, including the imperial guards.
.
Liu Xiaoxuan still couldn't accept this sudden change, as if everything was in a dream, as if she had suddenly traveled through time.
When she came to her senses, she couldn't help but sigh, the women in the harem are so cruel. Fortunately, the laborers were not burned to death!
The emperor was seen hugging her waist, his whole body trembling with anger, and his face became horribly gloomy, as if he had to kill someone to relieve his anger.
Liu Xiaoxuan suddenly realized that in ancient times, he was the god, and the fate of everyone except the Queen Mother was in his hands.
However, she was quite happy that he could be so angry. If he didn't feel any pain, she would probably be angry to death.
That guy who dared to burn the clothes of his employees should be killed! Kill the Nine Tribes!
Liu Xiaoxuan thought angrily in her heart.
"Why did this dress suddenly catch fire?" The Queen Mother glanced at everyone kneeling with her sharp eyes.
Guanglu Temple was silent for a moment, and everyone was too scared to breathe.
"Prime Minister Xue, you are the person in charge of the security of this canonization ceremony. The imperial concubine's dress caught fire. What's the solution?" The emperor's eyes were pointed at Prime Minister Xue like a sword.
Prime Minister Xue raised his head and said calmly, "It is impossible that this dress caught fire for some reason. Someone must have tampered with this dress. I will be able to find out the murderer when I examine the concubine's dress."
The emperor sneered, "Since Prime Minister Xue is so sure that there is something wrong with the clothes, I will ask Concubine Lao Ai to change clothes, Shishi, and take the imperial concubine to change clothes, take my dragon chariot, and go back as soon as possible."
"The poems are in accordance with the decree, my queen, please."
With the support of Qin Shishi, the imperial minister, Shangyi, Liu Xiaoxuan escorted the emperor's dragon chariot back to the Moyang Palace to change clothes and reward her.
"Your Majesty, today is your special day. Please get everyone up." The Queen Mother said to the Emperor in a calm voice.
"Yes, Queen Mother."
"Everyone loves you for your peace of mind."
After everyone thanked the Lord and got up, they returned to their places.
After everyone left, the emperor said again, "I think today is a happy day, and I don't want to make things bigger. Whoever burned the imperial concubine's clothes should take the initiative to admit his mistake. Otherwise, when Prime Minister Xue finds out his true intention, he will be killed."
!”
As the last word of the emperor fell, Concubine Wang Shu and Gu Zhaoyi couldn't help but trembled. Li Jieyu even accidentally knocked over the wine glass. Fortunately, she cleverly used embroidered long sleeves to cover everything up.
