Concubine De was the best at observing faces. When she saw that the emperor's expression was not good, she hurriedly advised him softly: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. The results will come later."
The emperor glanced at her and said nothing. When the empress saw that Concubine De was being held back by the emperor, she felt a little proud, but she said with a smile: "What did sister De Concubine say? Things in the capital are never trivial. This time
It sounded like this, and only explosions in the arsenals at the four city gates in the middle of the capital would make such a noise."
What she said was more knowledgeable than Concubine De. Concubine De was a little unhappy, but when she saw that the emperor was still sitting there with a cold face and still didn't speak, she said unhurriedly: "I am not as knowledgeable as the empress, but it's just
May I ask the Queen, if something really happened to the arsenal, how should we deal with it?"
The queen said slowly: "The harem does not talk about political affairs. If it is really the arsenal that exploded, there must be a reason for it. This matter must be investigated strictly. If the truth of the matter is found out, then the person who blew up the arsenal will be killed."
It must be severely punished."
What she said was very clever. It seemed that she was just talking about some trivial matters, but she already had opinions, but she did not insert a word into political matters.
Concubine De chuckled and said, "The Queen is right."
The concubine De and the empress did not know that the capital city was in chaos at this time. These speculations were just that they both couldn't stand each other in their hearts and they were just playing tricks on each other.
The emperor was agitated at this time, and he said with some displeasure: "Shut up, everyone."
Concubine De and the Empress looked at each other and said nothing, but they were both thinking in their hearts, who knew who the bastard had the courage to set fire to the arsenal!
Soon the person who went to inquire about the news came back and said a few words in front of Eunuch Zhu. Eunuch Zhu's expression changed, and then he walked to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, something happened. Someone was riding a horse on the street today.
He committed the murder, got into a dispute with a group of people, and then lit up the lanterns, and then the whole street was set ablaze with gunpowder. He set fire to the arsenal at the west gate, and the arsenal exploded, injuring many people."
The emperor heard this and said angrily: "Who is so bold? How dare he commit murder in public! Where are the guards in Beijing? Where are they all running to?"
Eunuch Zhu replied: "As for the emperor, Jingjiwei has captured the murderer, but the identity of that person is a bit special, and Jingjiwei can't do anything to him. When something happened today, the people from Jingjiwei went to mediate."
He passed by, but was stabbed by the murderer. As soon as the second prince heard the news, he rushed over immediately, but there were many people watching the lanterns today, so the second prince was delayed on his way there and had no time to stop him."
When the emperor heard this, he was furious. He immediately reached out and slapped the case heavily and said, "Who is it that dares to chop down even the guards of the capital?"
"That man said that not only did he dare to kill several guards in the capital, but he also dared to kill the second prince with one blow even if he went there in person." Eunuch Zhu lowered his head and said, "The second prince has already captured that man, but that man
He was so cruel that the second prince had no choice but to teach him a lesson. At this time, people are waiting outside the palace, does the emperor want to meet him?"
Before the emperor could speak, Concubine De said with great disdain: "Who is so arrogant that he dares to say such words? He even dares to chop the second prince. Does he think he is the emperor?"
The queen felt slightly nervous when she heard Eunuch Zhang's words. She asked softly: "Who is it?"
