Prince of Chaos

Chapter 242 The Concubine Wants A Child

Shen Shixing walked in the front without hesitation, Wang Xijue looked at Shen Shixing's back, and felt a little fear in his heart.

But then he was suppressed, and then followed behind Shen Shixing as if nothing had happened, as if he was still the second assistant of the cabinet.

The eunuch who passed the decree led everyone all the way into the depths of the palace, and stopped when they reached the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When they arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, everyone couldn't help but glance at the burning Qianqing Palace.

But he immediately withdrew his gaze, and respectfully bowed loudly in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation: "Your Majesty, please see me."

After a while, Zhu Changluo came out from the Yangxindian store.

Although Zhu Changluo looked a little disheveled at this time, he was no longer in the embarrassment of fighting the fire, and his clothes were now neatly dressed.

When Zhu Changluo arrived in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he slightly clasped his fists in salute to the cabinet ministers.

"My elders, Shang Shu has worked hard."

Shen Shixing and the others didn't dare to accept Zhu Changluo's salute. When they saw Zhu Changluo clasped their fists, they hurriedly knelt down to return the salute.

"Your Majesty, please see me."

Zhu Changluo smiled, then stretched out his hand to assist Shen Shixing, who was the leader, and at the same time looked at Wang Xijue and said, "Everyone, please rise. Father is waiting for you inside."

When Shen Shixing heard that the emperor was fine, he was all relieved.

"God bless my emperor!"

Everyone sighed with emotion.

Zhu Changluo led the way in front, and then, Shen Shixing and others all staggered by about three steps and followed Zhu Changluo to meet him in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After arriving at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Wanli looked at Shen Shixing and the others and said, "Your family has worked hard."

Shen Shixing and others did not dare to answer, they all knelt down and bowed to Emperor Wanli.

"I'm waiting for ten thousand deaths, and the rescue is late, please punish me by the emperor."

Emperor Wanli said: "The palace is full of water, and your family is here in the middle of the night, which shows how loyal your family is. I can see all of this. Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then, Shen Shixing and others got up from the ground, and carefully looked at Emperor Wanli behind the candlelight.

When they saw Emperor Wanli sitting in front of them unscathed, everyone saluted Emperor Wanli again.

"Ancestors bless, God bless my emperor."

Emperor Wanli smiled and said: "Yes. Thanks to the blessing of our ancestors this time, otherwise I would be a piece of black charcoal now. Thinking of this, I have lingering fears in my heart."

Even though Emperor Wanli said so, there was no trace of fear on his face.

When Emperor Wanli said that he had experienced such a dangerous experience, Shen Shixing and others knelt down again to plead guilty.

"The ministers have neglected their duties and failed to protect the emperor. Please punish the emperor."

Emperor Wanli looked at the people kneeling down again, he waved his hands and said, "Okay, get up. I'm fine, don't be so nervous. I called you in to reassure the court. Now you also see I'm done, I can go back."

Emperor Wanli was about to send everyone away, after all, it would not be proper to keep a group of ministers in the royal backyard in the middle of the night.

When they heard that Emperor Wanli asked them to go back, Shen Shixing and the others did not dare to talk nonsense.

Therefore, they could only honestly prepare for Xie En to kneel down.

However, at this moment, Wang Xijue spoke.

Wang Xijue said: "Your Majesty, have you found out the reason why the Qianqing Palace leaked water?"

As soon as Wang Xijue asked this question, everyone's eyes were on Wang Xijue.

Emperor Wanli took a look at Wang Xijue, and said, "Maybe it's due to the dry weather. Wang Qing doesn't have to worry. The palace is still very safe."

Wang Xijue breathed a sigh of relief, and he said: "Your Majesty, I am also worried about your Majesty, and I am satisfied to see that your Majesty's dragon body is in good health."

Emperor Wanli said: "It's hard work, Wang Qing. Go back and rest early."

"Yes."

Wang Xijue didn't ask any more questions, he bowed to Emperor Wanli and bid farewell.

When all the ministers left the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Wanli and Zhu Changluo looked at each other.

Emperor Wanli asked all the people around him to go out, leaving only Zhu Changluo alone.

Emperor Wanli asked: "Did you find out? How did the Qianqing Palace catch fire?"

Zhu Changluo said to Emperor Wanli: "Father, my ministers have already taken down all the eunuchs and maids who were on duty in Qianqing Palace today. Now they are being handed over to Sun Xian for interrogation. I believe there will be results soon. However, this It was indeed dry and dry for a period of time, and this fire may really have been just an accident."

Emperor Wanli looked at Zhu Changluo and said, "It's fine if it's an accident. You can handle it. I'm tired too. Go and comfort your mother, stepmother, and concubine, and then go back too."

Emperor Wanli finally felt relieved, he was afraid that this was not an accident.When he heard Zhu Changluo explaining this to him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Changluo said to Emperor Wanli: "Yes, father, my son and minister will retire."

After Zhu Changluo came out of the palace, he first went to the Queen's place. After comforting the Queen, Zhu Changluo went to Concubine Gong's side. After having a conversation with Concubine Gong, he asked Concubine Gong to be taken back by the gold and silver bracelets who were serving her.

Then, Zhu Changluo left.

After coming out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhu Changluo's heart sank.

Although, the fire in Qianqing Palace is still burning and has not been extinguished.

However, when Zhu Changluo just felt that the Qing Palace was fighting the fire, he discovered a problem.

There is no water in the Taiping jar in front of Qianqing Palace!

Obviously, the fire was intentional.

Thinking of this terrible flame, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but feel a chill deep in his heart.

If it was true that someone from inside and outside cooperated to assassinate Emperor Wanli, then this matter would not be easy.

What's even more frightening is that since they were able to assassinate Emperor Wanli, they must also have a way to assassinate themselves.

At this time, Zhu Changluo couldn't help feeling deeply uneasy about the Forbidden City, which he thought was extremely safe.

Zhu Changluo took Wei Zhongxian on the way back to Ciqing Palace, when they reached a deserted place.

Zhu Changluo whispered to Wei Zhongxian: "When we go back, we will check all the eunuchs and maids in Ciqing Palace. I want to know their background and current situation."

Wei Zhongxian replied: "The servant will investigate immediately after returning."

Zhu Changluo went on to say: "Go and tell Sun Xian that he will come to Ciqing Palace to see me right now."

Wei Zhongxian didn't understand why Zhu Changluo wanted to see Sun Xian so late.

However, when he thought about the fire tonight, Wei Zhongxian seemed to understand something.

Then, he said to Zhu Changluo, "Slave, go now."

Zhu Changluo nodded, "Go."

Then, Zhu Changluo went back to Ciqing Palace with this person.

At this time, in the main hall of Ciqing Palace, Crown Princess Zhu Changluo and all the concubines were waiting for him alone.

Zhu Changluo looked at them and said, "It's all right, let's all go back and rest."

After hearing Zhu Changluo's words, all the concubines bowed obediently, and then went back.

The Crown Princess was the last to leave. She looked at Zhu Changluo and asked with concern, "Is Your Highness really alright?"

Zhu Changluo looked at Shangguan Lanxin, he came over and put his arms around her, then said, "It's all right. Don't you think I'm back well?"

Shangguan Lan felt Zhu Changluo's breath, and she hummed.

Then she blushed and said, "The concubine wants a child."

Zhu Changluo: "..."
