The legitimate daughter is reborn and the fake Bai Lian is completely panicked

Shen Mi stood in the crowd, watching the group of pilgrims who came to watch the fun and rushed towards the south.

She said to Yun Lan beside her: "Everything is up to fate."

"Or the Queen and the Duke's affair will be exposed."

"Or, they both died in the palace."

"One of them deserves it. Let's go."

Yun Lan showed a smug smile on his face, took Shen Mi's hand, and walked down the mountain.

"The young lady has thought it through very carefully. They are in a dilemma."

Shen Mi looked calm and sighed, "It's just that the monks in Wanfu Temple have to carry water to put out the fire."

"Let's go to Wanfu Temple again some other day and donate more money."

Yun Lan nodded, "Yes, Miss."

At the foot of the mountain, Shen Li's carriage stopped by the roadside. Hearing the noise and exclamations coming from the mountain, he reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Snow White walked up to her carriage and spoke quickly.

"Miss, it seems that Wanfuji Temple is on fire, and the fire is very big."

The master and servant looked up at the mountain and saw flames rising into the sky, dyeing half the sky red.

"Where's Mi'er, Mi'er."

"Is Mi'er okay?"

Shen Li got off the carriage with a worried look on her face. As soon as she got off, she saw Shen Mi and Yun Lan coming down the mountain road.

"Sister."

Shen Mi shouted, and Shen Li immediately walked over and took her wrist in her hand.

"Mi'er, there was a fire on the mountain. Are you okay?"

Shen Mi raised her brows slightly and looked at Shen Li.

"Sister, I'm fine."

"I'm glad you're okay." Shen Li took a deep breath and looked at the flames rising into the sky.

"Why did the fire start out of nowhere?"

Shen Mi walked towards her, held her steady, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Someone has gone to put out the fire, sister, let's go."

"We won't come to this Wanfu Temple anymore."

Shen Li nodded, lifted her skirt, and walked into the carriage.

At that time, the South Courtyard of Wanpukuji Temple.

The fire in the hall was getting bigger and bigger, and thick black smoke was spreading out from all directions outside the hall.

Crackling flames spread everywhere in the hall. The queen didn't even have time to put on her clothes before the flames rushed in instantly, setting the bed curtains and clothes on fire.

"How did the fire start?!"

"Why can't the door be opened?"

"Who did it!"

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the flames directly surrounded the front door of the temple.

Duke Lin hurriedly picked up the clothes on the ground and casually wrapped them around the queen, but some of the queen's clothes were burned to ashes by the flames, and only a white undergarment could barely cover her.

She took a handkerchief, covered her mouth, and coughed hard a few times.

"Help! Help!"

"Come quickly, help."

Duke Lin didn't care about anything else. He strode to the door and was about to kick it open when he heard all kinds of noisy noises coming from outside.

The voices of several young men reached everyone's ears, "There is someone in the hall, bring some water quickly."

"How can this fire be so big? It can't be put out!"

The noise outside was getting louder and louder. The Queen and Duke Lin's faces changed. They had roughly guessed that many people had gathered outside the room.

If the two of them go out, their affair will be exposed.

However, if you don't go out, you will be burned to death.

The Duke walked around the flames and helped the Queen up.

"Get up! We must get out. We can't die in there."

The queen was almost suffocated by the black smoke, and the thick black smoke kept pouring into her mouth and nose.

"Hurry, hurry and save me, I don't want to die here."

The two of them couldn't stand being choked, so Duke Lin helped the queen steady herself and walked out step by step.

But the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the hall was almost entirely made of wooden boards.

As soon as they took a step, sparks fell from the eaves and landed on the two of them.

The queen screamed in pain, and Duke Lin didn't care about anything else and was about to kick open the door.

With a bang, the palace door was kicked open.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger. The queen held her handkerchief tightly to cover her face, not daring to look at the people outside the palace.

But her clothes were loose, and she was only wearing a white inner garment, with a little bit of the color of her bellyband visible.

Duke Lin lowered his head and helped the person walk out.

After leaving the bedroom, the queen's personal maid rushed out, put a cloak on her, and left to the side.

The crowd was noisy.

I don't know who spoke first.

"It seems to be the current queen."

Another woman from Yanjing also spoke.

"How come Duke Lin is also in the bedroom?"

Everyone lowered their heads and whispered, roughly guessing something from the degree to which their clothes were disheveled.

However, the queen was of noble status, so even if they witnessed these things, no one dared to say anything.

Some people who were more perceptive immediately took the family members and turned away.

I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will get into fatal disaster.

The fire in the bedroom was extinguished, and the place was burned into a black ashes.

The Queen was afraid that her affair with Duke Lin would be exposed, so the guards and maids who accompanied her stayed very far away from their bedroom, in the dense forest in the north.

The guards had no idea what was happening until the fire started and then they went to put it out.

After the fire in Wanfuji Temple was put out, the old abbot in the front yard of Wanfuji Temple closed his eyes and gently tapped the wooden fish.

The queen was disheveled and was helped into the carriage by her personal maid.

It was not until the evening that Wanfu Temple returned to peace. The pilgrims walked down the mountain, all with their heads down and whispering to each other.

"Is that really the queen in the palace?"

"How could Duke Lin be in there too?"

"I heard that the Queen comes to Wanfu Temple twice a month."

Everyone lowered their heads and whispered, but did not dare to say a word.

The news that Duke Lin and the Queen had encountered a fire in Wanfu Temple soon reached Your Majesty's ears.

Before the queen returned to the palace, she specially asked her personal maid to buy clean clothes for her to change into and to dress up before she dared to return to the palace.

In the imperial palace, Emperor Ren De sat in the imperial study, looking at the memorials in front of him.

After a while, Eunuch Wang came in hurriedly from outside the study.

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened."

"Manpukuji Temple, there's a fire."

Emperor Rende put down the memorial in his hand and stood up from his chair.

"There's a fire in Manpuku-ji Temple?"

"Has the Queen returned safely?"

Eunuch Wang looked grim and nodded slowly.

"The Queen has returned to the palace. I heard that she almost died in Wanfu Temple, and it was Duke Lin who rushed in to save her."

"Duke Lin has made a great contribution this time."

Emperor Ren De frowned slightly.

"The Duke told me yesterday that he was not feeling well and wanted to take a day off. How could he go to Wanfu Temple for no reason?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He turned his head and looked at the eunuch beside him. "Queen, was he really the one who saved her?"

Eunuch Wang nodded, "Everyone who was watching at the time saw that it was Duke Lin who helped the Queen out of the bedroom."

After Eunuch Wang finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Emperor Ren De.

Emperor Ren De had a blank expression on his face. He put down the memorial in his hand and stood up from his chair.

"so coincidental?"

"I'm going to see the Queen."

……

In Fengyi Palace, the queen sat on the couch with lingering fear, looking at her personal maid.

"You've said everything I asked you to say?"

The little palace maid nodded and said, "My lady, I will tell Eunuch Wang everything as you wish."

"I think that even if there are some crazy words, His Majesty will be more cautious."

"However, with so many people present, if it gets to the ears of Concubine Xiao Shu and the concubines in the harem, they will inevitably say something in front of Your Majesty."

"When I went down the mountain, I heard some crazy talk."

"It is said that when the queen came out, her clothes were disheveled, and the Duke was also... What should the queen do now?"

The queen lay on the chaise longue, clenching her back teeth.

"Why did the Wanfu Temple catch fire when it was fine?"

She suddenly thought of the hairpin.

"I remember there was a hairpin. Where is it going?"

"Quick, find that hairpin for me."

"I must catch the arsonist."

"Anyone who knows my secret must die."
