The concubine of Germany is as beautiful as a god [Qing wear]

Ma Guan got up immediately, took Qiaoyun Yuanhe and two eunuchs to Yongshou Palace.

Walking through the water in Yongshou Palace, you can see the flames soaring into the sky and black smoke from a distance. The harem has become a mess, and screams and exclamations can be heard everywhere, obviously everyone is frightened.

After being in the palace for so many years, Ma Guan has never heard of any palace passing through water, and she wouldn't believe it if someone said it wasn't deliberately set on fire.

"Your Majesty, this is terrible. It looks like it is the back hall of the Yongshou Palace. Niu Concubine lives there, right? Will she be..." Qiaoyun mumbled, her face turned pale, what was this situation like? Poisoning and wrestling are much more terrifying.

Ma Guan's heart tightened, it was indeed the location of the apse, but it was more inclined to the left ear room.

The palace buildings these days are all built of wood, and the age is not too short. Once there is a fire, it is easy to escape.If the rescue is not timely, I am afraid that the entire Yongshou Palace will be reduced to ashes.

When everyone arrived at Yongshou Palace, the place was already overcrowded, and everyone who could come, regardless of their status, brought a large group of court ladies and eunuchs with them.

The maids and eunuchs were all ordered to fetch water to put out the fire, and thanks to the large number of people, the fire has gradually been brought under control.

Ma Guan looked around at the door that divided the front and back yards, and saw that the location of the fire was indeed the left ear room, but the apse was also burned a little. As long as Niu Gulu's family is not too unlucky, there should be no serious problems.

"Cough cough cough... You trash, there is still fire over there, hurry up and water..." Among the crowd, a sharp voice was heard shouting, it was Niu Gulu's family.

Niu Gulu's cheeks were blackened, he couldn't help coughing, and even pointed fingers at the maids and eunuchs who were fighting the fire.Two maids supported her, beat her back and fed her water from time to time, but she was fine.

"The emperor is here." At this moment, there was a message from the front yard, and Kangxi was also alarmed after all.

"I have met the emperor." Everyone saluted and greeted.

Kangxi's face was as heavy as water, and he passed the crowd and went directly into the backyard. Seeing that the fire in the anteroom had not been completely extinguished, he frowned tightly.

"Liang Jiugong, don't take anyone to put out the fire yet." He scolded in a cold voice.

Liang Jiugong broke out in a cold sweat, and took all the maids and eunuchs who were idle to fetch water to put out the fire.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, the fire was finally completely extinguished, and everyone's hanging hearts were finally let go. Many people were so tired that they collapsed on the ground.

Looking at the charred building and the panicked crowd, Kangxi's expression was extremely gloomy.

"Bring all the people from Yongshou Palace here!" He suppressed his anger and ordered, and seeing Ma Guan and others, he told everyone to wait in the main hall.

On the way, Hui Concubine came over and said worriedly: "Sister De Concubine, something is going to happen. You said it well, why did Yongshou Palace run out of water? If the emperor blames it, will it be you and me? up?"

Ma Guan frowned slightly, this matter is also under the control of the harem, if the emperor really wanted to blame, she and Concubine Hui would definitely not be able to escape.

It would be even worse if a few concubines and concubines were involved in it. She became more and more suspicious that this was the work of the noble concubine, deliberately suppressing her and Concubine Hui's prestige.

"Sister Hui, you and I have to get ready, maybe the right to manage the harem will be deprived." It's not that she is greedy for power, but she is unwilling to be framed by such insidious means.

Only a thousand days to be a thief, no thousand days to guard against a thief, no matter how hard she defended, she still couldn't guard against it.

"You don't even have confidence in your younger sister?" Concubine Hui frowned, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Someone must have made trouble on purpose, just for the rights in our hands."

She was only short of saying the word noble concubine.

The only one who dares to do this now is the imperial concubine.

"Sister, be careful, let's take a step at a time." Ma Guan's eyes are darkened now, and she doesn't know anything except that the concubine's maid has been to Changchun Palace once.

The show of the imperial concubine's feet is much less than that of Niu Gulu's back then.

After entering the main hall, Kangxi sat upright on it, followed by the noble concubine, followed by Concubines Hui, Concubine Ma, Concubine Rong and others. Except for Concubine An and Concubine Yi who were restrained, almost all the others arrived.

Niu Biying sat at the very end, this position was simply a shame to her.

Meanwhile, all the maids and eunuchs of Yongshou Palace knelt in the hall with their heads bowed.

"Concubine Niu, what happened tonight?" Kangxi looked at Niu Gulu, saw that half of her cheeks were blackened, and felt a little pity.

"Wuuuuuu... Your majesty, I don't know what's going on... I was in a drowsy sleep when I suddenly heard someone yelling to get out of the water... Wuuuuuu... When I opened my eyes, I fell asleep." It was found that the fire had reached the beams of the house, and the concubine was almost burned to death..."

"Your majesty, you must be the master of your concubine... There must be someone who hates your concubine and wants to burn her to death... Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Concubine Niu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her heart was broken from crying, her eyes were red and swollen, which was very different from the previous appearance of screaming and ordering people to put out the fire.

Seeing that he couldn't find anything to ask, Kangxi looked at the kneeling court ladies and eunuchs: "Who was the first to discover the water?"

One of the young eunuchs shrank his neck and said in fear: "Back to the emperor, it's a servant. The servant's name is Xiao Shunzi, and he lives in the side room where the water flows. At that time, he heard a strange noise from the roof, and the servant was awakened." It was only then that I discovered that it was water.”

"The slaves were very scared at the time, so they called everyone up, and then they gathered together to fetch water to put out the fire. But the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the slaves couldn't do anything at all. Fortunately, the maids and father-in-laws from the nearby palace rushed over at this time , and help put out the fire together.”

"So, the fire started from the roof?" Kangxi raised his eyebrows, which was strange.

It's only April now, and it's not the season when the sky is dry, so how could there be a sudden fire on the roof?

Xiao Shunzi replied: "Don't dare to lie to the emperor, it really did burn from the roof."

Liang Jiugong interjected: "Your Majesty, this servant has brought people to inspect it just now. The roof is indeed the most damaged, but the items in the house are relatively intact. Xiao Shunzi should not have lied."

Everyone was stunned. If it was said that the fire started from the house, it could be explained as accidentally knocking over the palace lantern and catching fire.But something is wrong with burning from the roof, the only possibility is that someone set the fire on purpose!

Kangxi's expression became even uglier immediately, someone set fire deliberately, would it be possible to burn Concubine Niu to death?

"Your Majesty, someone must have set fire on purpose to burn my concubine to death... Ever since I was banned here by the emperor, my concubine has been eating fast, reciting Buddha's name, being cautious, and never having any evil intentions, but some people just don't let my concubine go. Woo..."

Niu Gulu's weeping was so pitiful, it was heart-wrenching.

"Burning the Yongshou Palace? Who is so bold? Liang Jiugong, pass on my will, this matter must be found out! No matter who the murderer is, I will punish him severely!" Kangxi started the real fire, this time the nature was too bad.

This is contemptuous of human life, even the life of a concubine in the palace is not overlooked!

If you dare to burn the concubine Niu tonight, will you dare to burn the imperial concubine tomorrow night?Did he dare to set Xuan Ye on fire later in the evening?

Whether it is deliberately destroying the Yongshou Palace or burning Niu Concubine, it is enough to be executed!

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liang Jiugong wiped off the sweat on his forehead, and led a group of eunuchs to continue searching for clues.

"Wuuuuu... Your Majesty, my concubine is so scared, really scared... This Yongshou Palace is too scary, I really don't dare to live in it anymore." Niu Gulu's family was still crying about the misfortune, Kangxi said to She is both angry and pity.

Anyway, Niu Gulu was the victim tonight and was almost burned to death in the apse, so he must have been really frightened.

"You go to Qianqing Palace to stay overnight, tomorrow night..." Kangxi paused, then looked at Ma Guan and Concubine Hui.

Ma Guan then interjected: "Your Majesty, Jingren Palace and Chuxiu Palace are still vacant in the East and West Twelve Palaces. Since the Queen Mother passed away, Jingren Palace has no owner. Why don't we let Concubine Niu live for a few days?"

"Then let's go to Jingren Palace for a few days." Kangxi nodded, satisfied with Ma Guan's proposal.

Concubine Hui was a little annoyed, Niu Gulu's family was fined and grounded, how could she be eligible to live in Jingren Palace?Let her live in Chuxiu Palace for a few days.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Niu Gulu was still crying, and he glanced at Ma Guan strangely, as if wondering how she could be so kind.

Ma Guan didn't bother to care about it, she just didn't want to have a reputation as a harsh concubine in front of the emperor.The location of Yongshou Palace is actually similar to that of Jingren Palace, both of which are better than others, so what does it matter if you live in Jingren Palace for a few days?

"Okay, let's all go back first." Kangxi comforted the empresses and concubines for a while, now it is the third watch, and everyone is not needed to investigate the case.

All the empresses and concubines left one after another, but Ma Guan stayed at the end and did not leave.

"Why don't you go back?" Kangxi dismissed Niu Gulu first, and then grabbed Ma Guan's waist.

"Your majesty, can I go and see the scene? What happened tonight made me very uneasy. Although the emperor didn't blame me, I still felt guilty." Ma Yu lowered her eyes, and she and Concubine Hui took over the harem. After that, so many bad things happened one after another.

If she is the emperor, she will definitely be very dissatisfied.

Kangxi moved slightly in his heart, and said softly: "You don't have to feel guilty, the ones who should feel guilty are the ones who set the fire. I don't care what their reason for doing this is, as long as they do it, they will be punished. During this period of time, you and Concubine Hui are the ones who set the fire. It can be seen in your eyes that you have done nothing wrong, some people deliberately caused trouble, so you don't have to worry that I will be implicated in you."

Ma Guan raised his eyes and looked at the emperor in surprise, so he knew all about it?

So this time, is there someone who is suspicious?

"Thank the emperor for his great love, how can the concubines repay this?"

"Serving me well is repayment." Kangxi took her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it, and said with a smile, "If it wasn't too late tonight, I really want you to accompany me well."

"Your Majesty, let's get down to business!" Ma Guan was speechless: "The Emperor doesn't care who set the fire at all? Anyway, you should go to the scene to see it!"

Seeing that she looked like a little hedgehog with fried fur, Kangxi couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I will go with you to see the scene, so that you won't be disturbed."

Only then was Ma Guan satisfied, and leaned forward to kiss him proactively, making the corners of Kangxi's lips lightly twitch.

When he arrived at the backyard, Ma Guan saw Liang Jiugong leading a group of people busy, and there were people searching in the side room and the back hall.

"I have seen the emperor, I have seen the empress de concubine." Seeing the two people coming, Liang Jiugong hurried forward to pay his respects.

"Can you find anything useful?" Kangxi asked.

"I'm about to report to the emperor." Liang Jiugong showed a strange face, and presented a wooden box, saying: "Just now when the father-in-laws were searching the penthouse, they picked up a few things on the ground, and the slaves put them in the box."

As he spoke, he opened the box, and Ma Guan opened his eyes wide. There were a few shards of glass inside, and a faint fragrance was emitted.

She picked up a piece of glass, and Kangxi nervously reminded: "Be careful not to cut your hands."

Ma Guan put it to her nose and sniffed, and smelled a familiar rose scent, mixed with a faint smell of alcohol.

This is clearly a bottle of perfume!

She was startled, and she really came, and wanted to use the name of perfume to pour dirty water on her body!She was sure that it was written by the imperial concubine.

"Your majesty, ask." She held out the fragments in front of Kangxi, and Kangxi sniffed it suspiciously, and then smelled a fragrance.

"Perfume bottle?" Kangxi had known for a long time that concubines liked to use perfume, and they would make it fragrant when they came to bed, but he didn't expect this thing to appear here.

Ma Guan agreed, "And it's a bottle of rose perfume, and it smells like wine."

"There is a smell of wine... I understand, someone sprinkled perfume on the roof, and then set fire to it!" Kangxi's spirit was shaken, if so, he found the object of arson!

Because there is wine in the perfume, the wine is extremely flammable, which can easily ignite the beams of the house.

"The emperor is wise." Ma Guan praised without hesitation, not only did she not panic at all, but she sorted out her thoughts a bit.

"You made this perfume?" Kangxi asked suddenly.

Ma Yu said frankly: "The concubine cannot be sure. Even if it was made by the concubine, other things must have been added. Your majesty, the concubine made a total of 24 bottles of perfume this time. The whereabouts of each bottle There are records, but there are only three bottles of rose fragrance."

"More importantly, there is absolutely no wine added to the perfume made this time. This wine was added by the arsonist."

This is her trump card!

In order to lure the imperial concubine to take the bait, she specially made a batch of perfume without powder and alcohol.But the concubines didn't know about it, and it was even more impossible for the concubine to know.

No matter who the imperial concubine got this bottle of rose water from, alcohol must have been added.And you must have rehearsed in advance how much perfume you need to pour to ignite the wood, so the concubine probably has more than one bottle of perfume in her hand.

Of course, it is hard to say whether the person who set the fire was the imperial concubine or not, in fact, Ma Guan speculated that it was not, because the imperial concubine was not such a reckless person.The imperial concubine probably gave the perfume to other people, such as Concubine An, who instigated Concubine An to set fire by taking advantage of the enmity between Concubine An and the Niu Colu clan.

In this way, it makes sense for the noble concubine's maid to have been to Changchun Palace.

Of course, all of this is just Ma Quan's guesswork, which still needs to be verified.

"It seems that the arsonist wanted to involve you again. Do you remember who gave these three bottles of rose water?" Kangxi obviously believed Ma Guan's explanation, because her words are easy to verify, and the possibility of lying is very low.

"Your majesty overestimates the courtiers and concubines, but the courtiers and concubines are all recorded in the booklet. Qiaoyun, go and get the booklet." Ma Juan ordered.

Qiaoyun led the order to retreat, secretly thinking that the empress really had the foresight, such a booklet can solve two major issues.

When Qiaoyun fetched the booklet, Ma Quan turned to that page and handed it to Kangxi.

Of the three bottles of perfume, one bottle was given to Concubine Hui, one bottle was given to Noble Hesheli, and the other bottle was given to Concubine Duan.

As long as you check the three people, whoever's rose perfume is gone is probably the real culprit.

"Your Majesty, my concubine thinks that none of the three of them are real murderers." Ma Guan shook her head, especially the latter two, one was incapable of doing this, and the other had no grievances with Niu Gulu.

As for Concubine Hui, she is still in charge of the harem, so there is no need to do this.

"Then who do you think it is?" Kangxi asked, but he asked Liang Jiugong to take people to these three places to check their perfumes.

"The concubine doesn't know, maybe other people can also make perfume." Ma Guan was a little confused, this matter was much more complicated than that of Dai Jiashi.

What's even more frustrating is that she can't just search the Changchun Palace based on her own guesses.

"The concubine doesn't know who the murderer is, but the concubine thinks that it can be searched from the place where the perfume is thrown. Your majesty, how do you think the murderer got the perfume bottle up and lit it on such a high roof?"

Kangxi looked at the scorched ear chamber, only to feel suddenly enlightened.

Both sides of the roof are covered by bright yellow glazed tiles, but the ridge of the roof is made of wood. The perfume must be thrown accurately on the ridge of the roof and smashed to form a fire.

He turned his eyes to the outside of the palace, and suddenly saw a big tree emerging from the Changchun Palace in front left.

The author has something to say: Concubine An has been fucked so many times, it is indeed a bit crazy.
