Datang: My Cells Are Too Competitive and Can Automatically Upgrade

After a while, Cheng suddenly realized where the strange smell came from.

After knowing where the fire came from, Cheng Yi began to inspect all parts of the palace carefully.

Sure enough, this huge Tai Chi Hall had already been sprinkled with saltpeter by someone, and it was precisely because of these things that the fire in the Tai Chi Hall spread so quickly.

"It's really a big deal!"

Cheng Yi sneered.

Immediately, he threw the scorched wooden stick in his hand to the ground, patted off the injured dust and walked out of the Tai Chi Hall.

Because he had obtained the imperial edict of Empress Changsun early on, all the concubines, princesses and princes who had not yet left the palace to build a mansion in the harem had been moved to Empress Changsun's Qiwu Hall for a temporary rest.

Most of the eunuchs and maids in the palace have also been guarded by the imperial army.

Soon, Cheng Yi, Li Feng and Shen Zihe met in the almost empty harem.

"My lord, I found something unusual."

Li Feng came to Cheng Yi with a solemn expression.

"Say."

Cheng Yi said decisively.

"Just now, my subordinates inspected all the burning palaces in the harem one by one. The rest of the palaces were all the same, except that when they entered the Zhaoming Palace, which was the most severely burned, they could smell a strong smell of flames inside."

The flame salt in Li Feng's mouth is that saltpeter.

Zhaoming Palace?Cheng Yi was furious for no reason.

"Damn it! You still want to drag Chang Le into the water!"

As soon as Cheng Yi said this, Li Feng and Shen Zihe looked at each other in blank dismay, and immediately became quiet.

The wind at night always came unexpectedly, and the three of them stood in the sudden strong wind, looking at each other speechlessly.

"Check again, I don't believe there are no clues left."

Cheng Yi's face instantly became extremely gloomy.

"Shen Zihe, you go too."

"Yes!"

In response, the two left Cheng Yi together.

Who on earth dared to involve Chang Le in it!

Cheng Yi looked expressionlessly at the moonlight not far away that was broken by the shade of trees, and sneered.

Since he dared to involve Chang Le, the little eunuch should have already figured out what kind of end he would end up with.

The sudden sound of footsteps brought Cheng Yi back from his thoughts. He looked up at the emaciated eldest grandson empress who was walking towards him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine here, you'd better go and rest."

Cheng Yi frowned and said.

Empress Changsun shook her head and asked, "How's the investigation going?"

Cheng Yi pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell Empress Changsun about the Zhaoming Hall.

"Empress, the fire in the palace is all caused by flames."

Cheng Yi looked at Empress Changsun and said solemnly.

"The reason why the Taiji Hall was on fire quickly was because a large amount of flame nitrate was sprinkled by people. However, people from the Shence Army discovered a strong smell of flame nitrate in the Zhaoming Hall just now. I am worried that what the arsonist wanted this time Far more than His Majesty's life."

"What? Zhaoming Hall?"

Empress Changsun looked at Cheng Yi in shock.

Immediately afterwards, monstrous anger rose again in her chest!

How vicious this thief is!He actually wanted to involve her with Li Shimin's most beloved daughter!

And once this matter is exposed, Li Lizhi is the only one who will be judged for crimes. Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian, and Li Tai will all inevitably bear the criticism!

It turns out that the target of the person behind the scenes is not Li Shimin, but Bengong and Bengong's daughter?

Really ambitious, aren't you afraid of being backlashed by your own ambition!

"Ma'am, I still have something to say."

Just when Empress Changsun was thinking wildly, Cheng Yi said again.

"what's up?"

Empress Changsun's heart tightened and she asked immediately.

"Before, when I entered the Tai Chi Hall, I saw a black shadow flash past. If I hadn't arrived in time to rescue His Majesty, I'm afraid..."

Before Cheng Yi finished speaking, Empress Changsun was already in a cold sweat.

What is that person who appeared in the Taiji Hall at the wrong time trying to do?

To save or to kill?

If it was for killing people, it would definitely not wait until it was extremely critical before taking action.

If that little eunuch is here to save people...

Empress Changsun's complexion became increasingly ugly.

If Cheng Yi hadn't arrived in time, His Majesty would have been rescued by someone who wanted to murder their mother and child.

At that time, as long as it is found out that there was a large amount of flame nitrate stored in Zhaoming Palace, no matter how she and her sons and daughters try to argue after that, it will be of no avail.

Thinking of this, Empress Changsun couldn't help but tightly grasp Cheng Yi's hand.

"Luckily you're here!"

Empress Changsun's beautiful eyes were full of tears. If Cheng Yi hadn't come to Chang'an City and married her hostage son, their mother and son would have been unable to escape the disaster tonight no matter what!

"Mother..."

This was the first time Cheng Yi called Empress Changsun that way.

"Since I'm married to Changle, I will definitely protect the people she cares about for her."

Thinking of Li Lizhi who was still ignorant of tonight's fire, Cheng Yi's eyes were tinged with tenderness.

"Good boy...good boy..."

Empress Changsun was full of emotion in her heart. At such a critical time tonight, it seemed that the only person she could rely on was

Under a Cheng Yi.

After sending away Empress Changsun, Li Feng and Shen Zihe, who searched all the palaces on one side again, came to Cheng Yi.

From a distance, Cheng Yi saw that Li Feng was holding another person in his hand.

"What's going on?" Cheng Yi asked.

Hearing this, Li Feng and Shen Zihe couldn't help but look at each other.

"Returning to the lord, this person was discovered outside the Zhaoming Hall by his subordinates, and his behavior was very sneaky. When the subordinates found him, they happened to see him put a 'good' thing in the Zhaoming Hall."

While speaking, Li Feng handed the hand holding something unknown to Cheng Yi.

Witchcraft?

The moment he saw clearly what Li Feng was holding, Cheng Yi was furious!

It seems that some people still remember that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed his wife and son because of witchcraft.

"You bastard!"

Cheng Yi originally wanted to destroy the witchcraft doll, but thought that it was a witness after all, so he kept it.

"My lord asks you! Where did you get this pickled thing from!"

Cheng Yi asked sharply.

Chapter 169 Daming Palace Horror Night

Cheng Yi picked up the person Li Feng was holding, moved his fingers and crushed the little eunuch's shoulder blades.

"Duke Sheng Ming, spare your life! Forgive me! The slaves also obey orders!"

"Whose order? What did you do?"

Cheng Yifa asked fiercely.

"This king is not impatient, so weigh carefully whether your own life is more important or the little eunuch behind you is more important?"

"My lord! My lord, please spare me!"

The little eunuch didn't say anything, just kept begging for mercy.

Seeing that the little eunuch refused to tell the truth, Cheng Yi couldn't help but sneer.

"Very well, it seems to be a hard bone."

He put his fingers on the other shoulder blade of the little eunuch, and crushed it with a little force.

"Unfortunately, this king also knows many ways to make life worse than death!"

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

The little eunuch screamed and passed out not long after.

Cheng Yi stepped down and crushed the little eunuch's hand bones, and the little eunuch woke up screaming again.

"This king has already said that this king's patience is not good."

It was as if a voice from hell rang in the little eunuch's ears.

"Yes, it's Yang, Concubine Yang!!!"

Concubine Yang?

This made Cheng Yi feel a little surprised. The memory came flooding back like a flood. He had only met this concubine Yang once, and it was the day when he and Li Lizhi got married.

As a former princess, she became a favored concubine in Li Shimin's harem.
