The fire in Mingyue Palace was extinguished at dawn the next day. It is no wonder that the palace has long been accustomed to the endless disasters in Mingyue Palace. Ever since this talented man entered Mingyue Palace, Mingyue Palace has been experiencing bad luck one after another.
Maybe Mingyue Palace's bad luck has ended.
After the fire, an inventory of the scene began. Except for Hu Xiaotian who survived, all the other palace residents including Wen Ya were missing. Because the fire was so intense, only some of the skeletons were left. After piecing it together, it was concluded that there were seven. Comparatively, they were missing.
Wenya and the three maids and eunuchs who had just been sent to Mingyue Palace. The preliminary conclusion was that Wenya and these six maids and eunuchs all died in the fire.
Hu Xiaotian never believed that Wen Ya would die. Although his memory of last night was a bit confused, he still remembered some things intermittently. By piecing those things together, he could probably deduce what happened. One thing he was sure of was that he would never leave.
When he returned to his room, someone must have sent him back, and then set fire to Mingyue Palace. What he couldn't be sure of was what happened between him and Wenya, the pictures in his mind, and the things that echoed in his ears.
Are those soul-stirring sounds his hallucinations or reality? However, this guy secretly checked himself when he was urinating. There should be traces of use on the lifeblood that he has kept secretly for a long time. He still knows his stuff.
There was no evidence, and all the personal and material evidence was burned. It was really difficult for others to find out what happened last night. As for Hu Xiaotian, he kept silent about what happened last night. He only said that he was treated coldly after he came back. There was no such thing.
I had the chance to meet some talented people. I don’t even know why the fire happened.
Fortunately, these guards only asked him verbally and did not conduct a physical examination, otherwise they would definitely have found a lot of doubts. Some things clearly happened, such as the traces of being stung by scorpions on his body, and
For example, there are still many clear teeth marks and hickeys on his chest and shoulders. In fact, from the time Wen Ya called him into the Mingyue Palace, until Wen Ya designed to release the poisonous scorpion and forcefully stuffed seven Red Yang Burning Yin Pills into him.
He remembered clearly everything in his mouth, and the subsequent events became fragmented. Hu Xiaotian believed that Wenya was not dead, and deep down in his heart, he did not want Wenya to die in the fire. For a person who wanted to harm someone
People who want to kill themselves should not have such compassion. But Hu Xiaotian always feels that things are not as simple as he remembers.
Some hazy memories have always troubled him. How should we explain Wen Ya's shocking martial arts and those poisonous insects that surged out?
The fire in Mingyue Palace naturally attracted many people. Important figures such as Murong Zhan, Ji Feihua, Quan De'an, and Wen Chenghuan came to the scene one after another. No matter what the original purpose of these people was, the occurrence of this fire was unexpected.
To their surprise, the development of things has escaped their control.
The old master Wen was in the position of the head of the country before his buttocks were warmed, and his goddaughter died. In front of others, the old master still acted very sad. Quan De'an was on the side to comfort him, and even Ji Feihua, his enemy, went over to show his weakness.
They gave a few false words of comfort, and although they all looked very sympathetic on the surface, some felt the same way. Some were actually happy in their hearts.
As the only survivor of Mingyue Palace, Hu Xiaotian naturally could not eliminate the biggest suspicion. Most people suspected that he was involved in arson. He was inevitably questioned. His gang of men launched a carpet-like search in Mingyue Palace, and unexpectedly found out that he was involved in arson.
A letter was found in the courtyard of the Moon Palace. This letter was written by Wenya himself, and it was also a final letter. The letter said that Wenya had been in constant trouble after entering the palace. Moreover, because the emperor fell ill in Mingyue Palace, he felt that he was
He was an ominous person. So he felt guilty and lifeless, so he decided to die to apologize. The biggest effect of this letter was that Wenya admitted that she was responsible for setting the fire and that she died of sex.
But she was dead, so why did she bring innocent palace maids and eunuchs with her? Hu Xiaotian understood that this was to silence her and avoid future troubles. As for herself, in the eyes of others, she had escaped because she lived in a hut outside.
It was a death disaster, but Hu Xiaotian knew in his heart that the reason why Wen Ya didn't kill him was most likely related to the real and illusory images in his mind. Could it be that I really had sex with this talented man while he was half asleep? Hu Xiaotian
No matter how hard I try to remember, I can't remember the details of last night. I have a kind of regret that Zhu Bajie ate ginseng fruit. He lost it for the first time before he could taste the taste. If things were really like what he imagined,
I shouldn't have taken any advantage. Instead of taking advantage, I suffered a big loss. This is the first time in my life!
Ji Feihua did not speak to Hu Xiaotian at the scene, but only looked at him meaningfully. Now was obviously not the time to ask for details.
Quan De'an didn't say a word to Hu Xiaotian, but the look he looked at Hu Xiaotian clearly had a coldness in his eyes, which made Hu Xiaotian feel a little scared. If there hadn't been the letter left by Wen Ya, I'm afraid he would have jumped in this time
The Yellow River couldn't clear it. In fact, even if he could clear the suspicion, he still couldn't escape the responsibility of leaving his post without permission. Thinking of the upcoming accountability, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel uneasy.
After Wen Chenghuan read the suicide note left by Wen Ya, the old master cried even more and beat his chest and feet. While wiping away his tears, he looked at Hu Xiaotian, his eyes full of resentment, feeling the pain of losing his daughter.
Hu Xiaotian didn't dare to look at him, and lowered his head in a hurry, thinking to himself, would Wen Chenghuan take this matter out on himself? This matter should not be passed over in a daze, Wen Chenghuan would definitely
Reluctant to give up.
He Mu quietly came to Hu Xiaotian's side and coughed lightly. He woke up Hu Xiaotian from his dazed state. Hu Xiaotian cupped his hands as if he had just woken up from a dream and said, "What are your instructions, Eunuch He?"
In such an occasion, He Mu, who was always known for his smiling face, also looked extremely serious and whispered: "Admiral, please don't be afraid and tell the truth."
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart, Ji Feihua was clearly threatening him not to talk nonsense, let alone betray him. He quietly looked towards Ji Feihua, only to see Ji Feihua and Quan De'an standing in front of the ruins, talking passionately.
What people say.
Hu Xiaotian explained what happened last night, of course he was trying to avoid the important things. In fact, he himself was confused. The person who knew the most about what happened was definitely Wen Ya. His testimony was not helpful in figuring out the truth of the matter.
, but it adds a lot of mystery.
After asking Murong Zhan for instructions, he was allowed to temporarily return to the Siyuan Bureau to wait for news. On the way back, he noticed two guards following him from a distance. It was obvious that he had been under intensive surveillance, and his mood became more and more heavy.
Returning to the Siyuan Bureau, although the former subordinates still saluted respectfully when they saw him, most of them left in a hurry after the salute. They no longer followed behind to flatter and flatter him as they did in the past. As the saying goes, human relationships are warm and cold.
This is not the first time that Hu Xiaotian has experienced the fickle world. The fire in Mingyue Palace has spread a lot. According to the practice in the palace, if such a major event happens, the eunuchs involved must be held accountable. Everyone understands that Eunuch Hu will be held responsible this time.
We were in trouble, and it was big trouble. At this delicate moment, no one would be stupid enough to get too close to Hu Xiaotian, otherwise they would be implicated.
Hu Xiaotian's mentality was extraordinary and did not show any abnormality. He first inspected various departments of the Siyuan Bureau, and then browsed the recent accounts. After finishing these things, it was almost noon, and Shi Xuedong, who had gone out to buy, came back.
According to the past, Shi Xuedong would have to hang out outside at least until dusk before returning to the palace, but it was different today. He had also heard about the fire in Mingyue Palace, and wished he could go there as soon as possible to see what happened. He was in the palace
His status all depends on Hu Xiaotian. If something happens to this sworn brother, his life in the palace will be difficult in the future. One person can ascend to heaven, and if Hu Xiaotian is thrown into dust, his follower will definitely be bruised and swollen.
But the Mingyue Palace had been sealed off by Ouchi guards, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter. Given Shi Xuedong's status, he had no chance to enter. He could only suppress his uneasy heart and perform his duties first.
Even when he went out to go shopping, he no longer had the leisure and ease of the past. Although the suppliers were queuing up to treat him, Shi Xuedong had no intention of socializing and hurried back to the palace after finishing his work. Hearing that Hu Xiaotian had returned, Shi Xuedong
Dong felt a little more at ease. He came to Hu Xiaotian's room and said with a happy face: "Brother, seeing that you are safe and sound, I, as an elder brother, feel relieved."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and didn't say much. The cup of hot tea in his hand had turned cold. He had been in a daze just now, thinking about how to deal with the people's questions later. Only then did he realize that
I have been in a daze in the room for a long time.
Shi Xuedong was very eye-catching. He stepped forward and picked up the teapot and said, "The tea is cold. I'll go and get some hot water for my brother."
Hu Xiaotian said: "No need, Brother Dong, sit down first and I'll tell you something."
Shi Xuedong pursed his lips and sat down opposite Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian said: "There was a fire in Mingyue Palace last night. The literary talents and six eunuchs and maids were all killed in the fire. I was the only one in Mingyue Palace who survived."
"That's because brothers are blessed with great fortunes. If they survive a disaster, they will be blessed later." Historian Shi Xuedong seemed weak in his efforts to flatter his horse.
Hu Xiaotian smiled calmly and said: "It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse. Although the suicide note left by the talented man can prove that the fire was caused by her, as the eunuch in charge of Mingyue Palace, I can't escape my responsibility."
Shi Xuedong asked with concern: "Is the superior going to punish you?"
