old grace

Xie Qinghe had no intention of using the celestial phenomena to frame the young emperor's moral failure.

Heaven punished the thunderbolt to penetrate the Qitian Pavilion because the owner of the pseudo-small world was hiding in the Qitian Pavilion.

Fu Chuan identified this person as a monk according to the law of sound and causality, but Xie Qinghe was not sure.It's hard to say whether this person is related to the forbidden young emperor.

The worldly practitioners don't take the secular imperial power very seriously.For ordinary people, the strictly guarded imperial city is too high to be violated. After monks build their foundation, they can come and go freely in the imperial city.With this person's ability to create a fake small world, if he really wants to secretly live in the Qitian Pavilion, the young emperor may not know about it.

Xie Qinghe flew over the eaves and walls all the way, flying towards the direction of Qitian Pavilion, and the street was already full of people who went out to watch the excitement.

Amidst the panic of the people, there was also an inexplicable excitement.

Among the crowd, there are teenagers who are afraid of the chaos of the world, and some old people who are afraid of war and chaos. The meddlesome people whisper with their relatives and friends, discussing how the nobles who were originally unattainable in the imperial city will ruin their country and their families, and the royal princess who destroyed the country will be destroyed. How miserable it would be... just imagining that the noble person who was once suppressed on top of his head fell from the clouds, there is an indescribable joy.

Xie Qinghe shook his head slightly.

Later Zhao royal family was unpopular.There is neither mighty virtue nor benevolence.

For nearly a hundred years since the founding of the country, benevolent government has been bestowed on the aristocratic family, and money has been collected in private treasuries.The emperor only cared about the balance and restrained the aristocratic and powerful families, and occasionally made some measures to benefit the people, but they were all carried out by the powerful officials in the court.So much so that for a hundred years, how the people live depends entirely on the centuries-old family that ruled one side.If the family is benevolent, the people will be healthy, but if the family is tyrannical, the people will be displaced.

Later Zhao's royal family and the imperial court had their own names, and the people neither respected him like a father nor loved him like a mother, so they often took pleasure in misfortune.

After jumping into the imperial city, there were still many palace guards and palace slaves watching the excitement.

When approaching the Qitian Pavilion, there are a large number of palace guards running back and forth, some pulling water trucks to transport water, and some carrying buckets to fight the fire to rescue them. Qitian Pavilion itself has also installed several peace tanks, and the water has been splashed. Now, the fire in the Qitian Pavilion has no sign of weakening.

In the face of such a raging fire, no matter how many people went to rescue them, carrying water and splashing it with their hands seemed too powerless.

Xie Qinghe wanted to rescue him, but before he could move, he saw a group of people coming from the west, a young man in a brocade robe rushed to the front, and shouted: "Don't move, don't move, don't move!"

The palace guards who saw this young man were very surprised and bowed down one after another.

The boy rushed all the way to the front, but was stopped by several leading palace guards: "Your Majesty, the front is dangerous."

"This fire is too big, so don't save it if you can't save it! Pu Shuai, quickly lead someone to demolish the nearby corridor hall, so as not to burn it to other palaces. It doesn't matter if you demolish it farther away, be careful not to hurt people's lives." His face was anxious, his hair was disheveled and he ran out, his eyes were still a little swollen, as if he had just cried a lot.

Pu Zhongxuan was shocked when he heard the order.

It was the Qitian Pavilion that was on fire!

Let it burn without rescue?

He looked back.

The entire Qitian Pavilion has become a huge fire, and the expensive wood of the main building has become the most luxurious fuel.The palace guards who put out the fire on the front line were scorched by the high temperature, their beards and hair were scorched, and their lips were chapped. Even if a bucket of water was poured on it, it couldn't extinguish the flames at all.What about sand?The sandbags haven't arrived yet!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! But, if the fire can't be extinguished..." Pu Zhongxuan's eyes turned red.

"The thunder is falling." The young man laughed at himself, "If the fire is not saved, what difference does it make? The fire is so big, and people in it are nothing more than ants. The burning of the Qitian Pavilion is a natural disaster. If you die because of this , it is a man-made disaster. Listen to my order, immediately demolish the halls on both sides, and be careful not to overfire the other palaces, don’t worry about this place, and remove everyone.”

Pu Zhongxuan was persuaded by the young emperor, and immediately ordered the palace guards to withdraw from the front line, and divided into four small teams to demolish the long halls nearby.

Just now.

With a puff, it was as if an invisible glass cover had descended from the sky, and the Qitian Pavilion that had been lit by the fire instantly lost its heat.

The palace guards and maidservants present all felt an unbelievable coolness in an instant, and the blazing fire of Qitian Pavilion was also extinguished little by little.At this time, it was the time when the setting sun had ended in the west, and only the crimson sunset glow remained in the sky.The Qitian Pavilion gradually cooled down, gradually revealing its scorched face after being burned, but it made everyone who witnessed the raging fire just now feel a kind of calm after the dust has settled.

The fire is out.

A palace attendant who reacted quickly knelt down and said loudly: "God bless my lord! When your majesty comes, a vision will come from the sky. There will be no sand and no water, and the evil fire will be extinguished by itself! God bless your majesty, God bless Zhao, long live, Long live!"

The young emperor's confidants naturally knelt down and shouted long live, even if it was not the young emperor's confidantes, seeing the fire in the Qitian Pavilion suddenly extinguished, they also inexplicably felt that there was a faint wind blowing in their hearts, and couldn't help but kneel down to praise the emperor and the heavenly phenomenon .

Xie Qinghe didn't show up, he aimed at the little maid who ran out in the crowd, and quietly chased after her.

The little maid ran all the way into the cold palace.

The so-called cold palace here is not specially used to accommodate unfavored concubines.The Dancheng Imperial Palace was originally the Imperial Palace of the former dynasty. Since the founding of the Zhao royal family, there was not much money to repair it all. The few palaces in the less well-located places were only roughly cleaned up, and they were used to pile up sundries or house low-status people. Palace slaves, maidservants, and many elderly eunuchs also live here.

The little maid entered a room, and Xie Qinghe followed behind her, standing by the window to peek openly.

The little maid didn't notice anything wrong, she took off her clothes after entering the door, her petite body stretched out suddenly, and transformed into a thin man, he took out a set of low-level palace attendants from the cabinet After wearing a gray robe, the little palace maid instantly turned into an unremarkable young palace servant.

Before he went out, Xie Qinghe took a step back and squatted on the hanging beam under the eaves.

The palace attendant ran out in a hurry again, and after leaving the cold palace, he went all the way north, and unexpectedly got into the harem unimpeded.

——Han Lin's mansion is like a sieve, and the imperial palace is no different, at least it has to be a sieve.

Xie Qinghe followed the palace attendant unhurriedly, and ran all the way into the palace room where the plaque of Changle Palace was hung. All the ladies and eunuchs in the palace knew this unattractive palace attendant, and they didn't stop him when they met, and asked him directly. Please go to the main hall of the palace.There are many people in this palace, and many palace slaves have martial arts disciples, Xie Qinghe was a little more careful before sneaking into the main hall calmly.

This is the palace of Empress Dowager Deng.

The young emperor's biological mother died young, and was nominally handed over to Concubine Tian Gui to be raised, and Concubine Tian Gui's natal family was a member of the Heyang Party.

Empress Dowager Deng was an in-law of the late emperor's mother's Nangong family, and was promoted to the empress dowager with the honor of the late emperor and empress.Empress Dowager Deng has always kept a low profile. After the Nangong family lost power, Empress Dowager Deng lived in seclusion and lived behind closed doors, never interfering in any affairs of the front court and rear palace.

Although she has lost power and no status, the palace is still the size of an empress dowager, very magnanimous.

Relying on his excellent hearing ability, Xie Qinghe sneaked into the palace and found a corner not too far to hide, and just happened to sit down at the tea table behind the screen.There are some snacks and fruits on the table, and there is even a pot of green leaf soup, Xie Qinghe is not welcome.

"It was agreed to create chaos in the capital, how could the disaster be involved in the palace?" Empress Dowager Deng was a little anxious.

The palace attendant spoke with a very normal male accent: "I was going to ask you! It was you who said that Master Xian of the Hanjiang Sword Sect had returned to the mountain and would no longer interfere with the affairs of the capital! How could you lie to me about such important matters? !"

Empress Dowager Deng said in surprise: "You mean, Aunt Xian blasted the thunder?"

"Since she is still in the capital, she will come to find me sooner or later. You have to deal with me. In addition, you have to give me an identity, and I will go back to the Northland immediately! My master ancestor has an appointment with the Hanjiang Sword Sect. Pai Fengshan is not coming out, and the disciples in my temple are not allowed to enter the world. I'm leaving immediately!" The palace attendant's domineering tone obviously contained fear, so much so that there was a bit of anger in it.

"It's easy to give you an identity. It's just that I can't understand what you said. Since Aunt Xian is in the WTO and causing trouble for you, isn't she considered in the WTO? Only she is allowed to join the WTO, and you are not allowed to join the WTO?" Queen Mother Deng asked.

The palace attendant said angrily: "Don't you know that 'Only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps'? Her house is said to be closed to the mountain, and everyone runs down the mountain in disguise. She broke the precept, who dares to control her? I will crack it." If I break the contract, she dares to control me! But what can I do!"

Xie Qinghe swallowed a mouthful of jiaotangsu and green leaf soup, barely holding back his laughter.

Empress Dowager Deng dawdled for a while, and said, "If you leave, who will help me?"

The palace attendant sat on the chair in a hurry, and said after a while: "Or, you can go to the Northland with me. The situation in the Southern Dynasty is chaotic, and you are guarding the title of queen mother here, and no one really cares about you or respects you. The emperor's mother has no respect, why don't you go to the north with me, I will respect you as the Buddha's mother, and the emperor of the northern dynasty will respectfully worship you..."

Xie Qinghe was quite surprised.What is the relationship between Empress Dowager Deng and this palace attendant who was born in a temple?Can you be honored as the Buddha's mother?

Empress Dowager Deng said in disgust: "The rider is rude and humble, and his customs are indecent, how can he serve me?"

The palace attendant paused for a moment, then said: "You dislike me for being pregnant, and you want to use me and drive me. It is so difficult for a mother to have a child. I am grateful for your kindness in not killing me at the beginning, and I am grateful for your ten-month pregnancy. gave birth to..."

Empress Dowager Deng said angrily: "Shut up! Shut up! Don't talk about this dirty thing again!"

The palace attendant couldn't help laughing, and his words were desolate: "Even this kindness, in the eyes of the queen mother, is it too dirty to be seen?"

Xie Qinghe silently swallowed a mouthful of tea.

He didn't immediately arrest the servant, he just wanted to know if someone was colluding with him behind the scenes.

Who would have thought that he quietly sneaked in and listened, and actually heard the scene of the mother and child breaking up. Patriarch Xian Huayu is also well-known, and just a thunderstorm of divine punishment scared the palace servants to flee back to the Northland, where they lived with the Empress Dowager Deng's mother and son. People turned against each other on the spot.

Empress Dowager Deng said angrily: "Don't chat with me! If you are afraid of Aunt Xian, get out immediately! Even if I die in Dancheng, I don't want you to take care of me, don't want you to cry! Tell me to go to Beidi again! I'm going to kill you right now!"

"If A Niang is not my A Niang, would you dare to reprimand me like this? A Niang has no strength to restrain a chicken, dare to say that she killed me?" The palace servant asked back.

Apparently, the story of giving birth to the palace attendant was a great stimulus to Empress Dowager Deng. She could not hear people mentioning it at all. The palace attendant provoked her again and again, and she had completely lost her mind. , Cursed: "I knew it, you came to beat me, you have the dirty blood of the horseman on your body, you are the bastard of the horseman... Your butcher and beast father insulted me, and you bullied me too..."

The palace servant was sitting upright, with a cut in his head, he just sneered and didn't move.

When Empress Dowager Deng cried and said insulting, the palace attendant's face changed.He lowered his head slightly, listened to the sobbing sound of Queen Mother Deng, slowly stepped forward to hug Queen Mother Deng, and whispered: "Mother Queen Mother, I will not go. I will stay and stay with you all the time."

Empress Dowager Deng couldn't calm down, she raised her hand and slapped him hard on the face, and cried bitterly after the slap.

The palace attendant hugged her all the time, and said in a low voice, "Mother, you want to give me a new identity. I use the dragon energy to use the law of sound-tracking causality in Qitian Pavilion, and it has been discovered by Zhenren Xian. If I can't get away as soon as possible, she will kill me." It's mine. When the rumors pass, I can still contribute to your empress, and all I have learned will be used by your empress, and my life... will also be returned to your empress."

Empress Dowager Deng finally cried for a while, wiped her tears with the maid's narrow sleeve, and asked, "Are you obedient?"

The palace attendant nodded: "Be obedient."
