"Okay." Hongli nodded slowly. At this time, the fire was finally under control and was gradually extinguished. After Hongli motioned to Sixi to watch here, he went to the Nuan Pavilion to visit Hu and his mother.
After he walked away, Su Qiu whispered: "Master, do we want to follow him?"
Looking at Hongli's back, Xia Qing smiled slightly and said, "No need, go back to Yihuaju."
Su Qiu nodded and helped Xia Qing back to Yihua Residence. Like Nuange, this place was not affected by the fire and was safe and sound. After Xia Qing sat down, she said with a worried look on her face: "Master, this is
Is it true that the matter will not be discovered?”
Xia Qing glanced at her and said coldly: "What did you say?"
Su Qiu quickly closed the doors and windows, and then said with a bit of panic and uneasiness: "The servants said that we set fire to the side hall..."
Before she finished speaking, Xia Qing slapped the armrest heavily and said in a cold voice: "It's ridiculous. The side hall accidentally leaked. What does it have to do with me? Do you want to kill me by saying this?"
Su Qiu said in a panic: "I don't dare. I'm just a little worried. If this matter is found out, I'm afraid... it will be difficult to do anything good!"
Xia Qing snorted coldly and said: "If you don't tell me, who will know?" After a pause, she said: "Anyway, please remember now that the flood in the side hall was an accident, both of you and me.
If you don’t know, it has nothing to do with it, so don’t say anything harmful to others or yourself, is that clear?”
Su Qiu Weiwei agreed, and then said: "It's just Master, I really don't understand, why do you do this?"
After dinner, Xia Qing suddenly ordered her to secretly light a fire in the side hall when no one was around, which really shocked her. She couldn't understand why her master would do this, but Xia Qing said
He was very strict and said that if there was no one in the side hall after dark, no one would be hurt even if there was a fire, so she could only obey.
Xia Qing looked sideways at Su Qiu. Just when the latter thought he was going to be scolded again, Xia Qing said: "Su Qiu, how do you think I deserve to be a noble person?"
Su Qiu said cautiously: "It is naturally very good that the master has been favored by the emperor and canonized as a nobleman."
"Very good?" Xia Qing sneered: "It should be very funny. How can I be banned for more than a month and still be intact? I don't know how many people are laughing at me behind my back. On the contrary, it is Wei Jingxuan, although she is just a regular person.
She is here, but she is often betrayed; if we let it go, she will be promoted again sooner or later, and when the time comes, how will I take revenge and kill her?!"
When talking about the latter part, Xia Qing's mood became somewhat controlled, and Su Qiu quickly consoled her: "Master, please calm down. The reason why Wei Changzai was favored is probably because of some flattering tricks. When the emperor got tired of her, she would naturally fall out of favor."
Xia Qing said coldly: "I don't know if she will fall out of favor, but I know that the emperor has forgotten me, otherwise he would not have asked that question just now."
Thinking of Hongli's words "You are Xia Qing", she became angry. Although she knew that Hongli was indifferent to her, she never thought that he had forgotten so much. It was... too much.
Su Qiu said doubtfully: "But I still don't understand, this has nothing to do with us..." Seeing Xia Qing looking over, she quickly changed her words and said: "What does it have to do with the leakage of the side hall?"
Xia Qing sneered and said: "You told me that Wei Jingxuan will be sleeping tonight. Now that the emperor is here, what do you think will happen to Wei Jingxuan? Also, the emperor saw me risking my life to rescue Brother Nine, and I believe he will be impressed by me.
It’s profound, maybe in a few days I will be summoned to sleep in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.”
Su Qiu nodded and said immediately: "I see. However, I think that if I want to attract the emperor's attention, there are other ways. The master's method is very practical... a bit dangerous."
"If there really was a way, I wouldn't have wasted so long." Xia Qing said coldly, "Whether it's dangerous or anything, I must go to bed as soon as possible so that I can deal with Wei Jingxuan."
Listening to Xia Qing's words, Su Qiu secretly shook her head. After following Xia Qing these days, she knew that what she hated most in her life was Wei Jingxuan. This kind of hatred made her almost obsessive, and she couldn't listen to any persuasion. This time, for the sake of
In order to embarrass Wei Jingxuan and attract Hongli's attention, he even resorted to arson. Fortunately, no one was injured or injured, otherwise I don't know what to do.
The next day, everyone in the palace knew about the flood in Changchun Palace. Some people came to visit sincerely and comfort themselves, while others came to see Hu's joke in the name of visiting. The flood in the side hall affected the main hall, and in the following days
, she, the empress, will temporarily live in the Nuan Pavilion until it is repaired.
Xianyue came with Mrs. Huang, but she didn't know that after entering the Nuan Pavilion, besides Mrs. Hu, Xia Qing was also inside, and the atmosphere was a little weird for a while.
Xia Qing quickly came to her senses, knelt down and said, "I have met the imperial concubine, and I have met the concubine Yi. Wish you two empresses great blessings."
Xianyue glanced at her and said coldly: "No courtesy, Mr. Xia."
"Thank you, Madam." After Xia Qing stood up, she said, "I will not disturb the other ladies as they talk. I will leave."
After she went out, Mrs. Huang said displeasedly: "It's really unlucky. When I saw this ungrateful thing as soon as I came here, I lost all my mood. If this concubine were her, how could she have the nerve to come out?"
Xianyue comforted: "Okay, since I came here, I expected to see her, so don't be angry." With that said, she pulled Huang to sit down and said with concern to Hu, who was holding the child.
: "Sister, why was there an unreasonable leak in the side hall last night, but the palace attendant accidentally knocked over the lamps and candles?"
Mrs. Hu patted the child in her arms and said: "I am also very strange. After the accident, I asked everyone in the palace. They all said that they had not been to the side hall before running away, let alone
I have knocked over anything related to fire candles, this fire is really strange."
Huang thought for a while and said, "Could it be that they were afraid of your punishment, so they didn't dare to say it?"
"It's possible, but there's one thing that's very strange." At this point, Mrs. Hu pouted toward the door and said, "It's the Xia Guiren who left just now."
Xianyue's eyes flashed with strange light, and she said: "I heard from A Luo that it was Xia Guiren who rescued Brother Jiu yesterday. Is it serious?"
"Yes, it's her." Mrs. Hu frowned and said, "Although the situation yesterday was very chaotic, I remember it very clearly. Not long after the fire, Guiren Xia came over and asked with great concern if I was okay.
Later, she discovered that Brother Jiu had not come out, so she volunteered to go in and look for him. In the end, she was the one who brought Brother Jiu out. She heard that when he came out, he encountered some accidents and burned her clothes. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured."
Huang said in surprise: "Strange, when did she care so much about you and Brother Jiu?"
