After hearing this, Concubine Zhu calmed down a little, and said in a low voice: "There must be no trouble with the Ching Ming Festival."

"Don't worry, ma'am, it's not just Guocui, we have another line."

It was the first lunar month, and Ching Ming Festival was coming soon. I thought the emperor was going to chant scriptures and worship Buddha, but his health was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't get up at all, so he found a group of monks to chant scriptures in his bedroom.

Even so, he still summoned his concubines every day, even more than one, and the imperial physician prescribed many prescriptions for him, but the emperor did not take any of them, only the golden pill presented by Feng Xian.

He was really afraid of death, and the Ching Ming Festival made him panic to the extreme.

At night, the emperor had a dream. He dreamed that two beautiful phoenixes flew from outside the palace, circled all the way into the palace, and finally landed on his dragon chair.

The emperor in the dream always felt that the phoenix's eyes were mocking him.He stood alone in the hall, with no one around.

"Boom, boom..." The sound of the bell outside woke the emperor up, and he sat up in a cold sweat.

"What voice, Feng Xian, Feng Xian!"

Eunuch Feng trotted over, "What's wrong with the emperor? The monks are practicing outside."

The emperor pressed his forehead hard, and told about the dream just now, after hearing this, Feng Xian offered the emperor a pill, "Don't worry, the emperor, the phoenix enters the palace, this is a good omen, it means that the emperor's illness will soon be cured, Take your medicine first."

"This medicine is so bitter." The emperor frowned when he saw it.

"The good medicine tastes bitter. The emperor is still in charge of the government after he is healthy."

The emperor swallowed the unpalatable medicine and fell into a deep sleep again.

In an alley outside the palace in the middle of the night, two figures hurried out holding a dozen burnt papers.

Those were Xia Qing and Nanny Chen.

"Your Majesty, be careful, you burn it first, and the slaves will guard it for you."

It was night at this time, even if it was an empty alley, it would be easy to be spotted once the fire was lit, but Xia Qing lit it anyway.

The flint rubbed off, and the burning paper quickly lit up. The red flames reflected her face, and scenes of old events flashed in her mind.

She remembered that night, it was the same kind of fire, officers and soldiers were everywhere, and the voices of parents, brothers and sisters were heard outside the door, she could only be alone, wearing tattered clothes, with ashes from the bottom of the pot on her face, watching from the side of the dog. Drilled out, and fled the capital far away with the only nanny.

It's a pity that the nanny passed away later, and she was really just a lonely family.

I thought that after revenge, I would have no more nostalgia for this world.But God just sent that person in front of her at this moment.

Xia Qing sighed, God still didn't block all her paths.

She squatted there watching the fire, and a delicate female voice came from behind: "Who is so bold to burn paper in the palace!"

Xia Qing got up and turned around, and sure enough, it was Concubine Zhu coming over holding the maid's hand.

When Xia Qing saw Concubine Zhu, she didn't even kneel down and walked up to her, very close to her.

"It's me, did you see it clearly?"

Her behavior was very strange, Concubine Zhu couldn't help taking a step back when she saw her, "Bold Xia Qing, let alone burn paper in the palace, how dare you not kneel when you see me."

But Xia Qing just smiled slightly, and quietly dodged aside, as if not panicked at all.

Concubine Zhu was about to call for someone, when Jiang Huimin, dressed in ordinary clothes, came slowly from the other side.

"Who is making a fuss here?"

Xia Qing lowered his head: "I have seen the imperial concubine."

Concubine Zhu could only bow down bitterly and salute Jiang Huimin.

"Who burned this paper?" Jiang Huimin asked sharply.

"It's Empress Concubine Zhu." Xia Qing said frankly.

Concubine Zhu turned her head in shock, and hearing Xia Qing say this, she was so angry that she almost cursed, pointing at Xia Qing and yelling: "Don't tell me you burned paper in the palace yourself, how dare you come to slander the palace! "

The author has something to say: I should have updated it last night, but I was too sleepy yesterday, and the plot needs to be clarified before I can write it down, so I only updated it when I got up in the morning. Sorry, I will work hard to update it in the future .

This Concubine Zhu appeared once before, I don’t know if Xiaocute still remembers her, how do you think Xiao Xia will prove that the paper was burnt by Concubine Zhu*^_^*

Chapter 17 Internal Audit

Probably because the voice was a bit loud here, several concubines passing by also came over, seeing the tension here, and seeing Jiang Huimin's cold expression, they all dared not speak, and regretted running over to watch the excitement.

Concubine Zhu was very angry at the moment, she pointed at Xia Qing, "Don't talk nonsense, just now besides you and me, the maids of the palace were also watching, don't you want to deny and slander the palace!"

"Your Majesty is wrong." Xia Qing smiled slightly, "This maid is from your palace, how can she testify for you?"

"You..." Concubine Zhu was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time, she pointed to the unburned yellow paper beside her, "Long eyes, take a good look, who owns these papers, I never bring such dirty things into the palace ."

The young lady next to Jiang Huimin listened to this, and used a stick to pull the unburned stack of paper money, "Ma'am, there are words on it."

Concubine Zhu showed a smug smile. She seemed to have seen that Xia Qing sacrificed to her parents and ended up as the daughter of a criminal minister.

Jiang Huimin took a few steps forward, took a closer look, and suddenly changed his face, and pointed his eyes straight at Concubine Zhu, "The words on this paper are clearly written on it, the names of Concubine Zhu's family are written on it, and you said you didn't burn it!"

Concubine Zhu's smile immediately froze on her face. At this moment, the number of people on the side gradually increased. The little eunuch checked carefully and found that in addition to the names of Concubine Zhu's family members, there were also the names of the dead empress and Rui Concubine's parents.

The watching crowd whispered softly, and the little eunuch was still checking, when a figure suddenly appeared from the crowd and knelt in front of Concubine Zhu, "Madam, although my concubine's father passed away early, this concubine has only done it for him all these years." Chanting scriptures and praying for blessings, I have never thought of burning paper in the palace. The concubine knows that the empress cares about the concubine, but how can such burning paper be done in the palace."

This person is Ruipin.

She originally came here with Concubine Zhu tonight, but she just saved a hand and avoided the confrontation with Xia Qing on the way on the grounds of urgency.

At this moment, Concubine Zhu could see Rui Concubine's thoughts clearly, and seeing that she was so eager to get rid of her relationship, she was so anxious to curse: "You nonsense fool!"

The other concubines below whispered, "I think it's her, who doesn't know that she and the deposed empress are in the same group."

Jiang Huimin turned to look at Lianyue: "Go and bring a few people, and search Concubine Zhu and the people around her for any flint objects."

It is a great insult for the concubine to be body-searched, Concubine Zhu could only endure it at the moment, she thought she could wash away her grievances, but Lian Yue led a group of maids, and found flint on the little concubine Zhu who was carrying her.

Concubine Zhu was speechless, even if she jumped into the yellow river, she couldn't wash herself out.

Lianyue reported the matter to Jiang Huimin, but Concubine Zhu couldn't say a word.

Jiang Huimin glanced coldly at the crowd, and finally settled on Concubine Zhu.

"Everyone has seen what happened today. Concubine Zhu violated the palace rules, so she should have been killed with a stick, but today there is a mage in the Buddhist hall who is chanting sutras, so it is not appropriate to see blood." She paused, and looked in the direction of Leng Gong, "Since Concubine Zhu If you are so attached to that deposed empress, go there and be her companion."

Concubine Zhu was paralyzed and was too frightened to get up. Several young eunuchs came up and dragged her to the cold palace.

She seemed to wake up in an instant, turned her head vigorously, and yelled: "Jiang Huimin, how dare you frame me, do you really think that the harem is covered by you alone? Do you still want to kill the emperor yourself... "

The wife at the side heard this and tightly gagged her mouth to prevent her from talking nonsense.

In the dark and cold alley late at night, Concubine Zhu's voice gradually blurred and became farther and farther away. The other concubines stood aside watching this scene, not daring to speak.
