Chapter 68

"Miss Qiu, you can't come back to life after death, so please mourn!" Jin Bao lowered his head, as if trying to persuade him.

"No, I don't believe it! It's you! It must be you." Qiu Yeli shook her head slowly, she couldn't accept this result!

"Concubine Luo! Be careful!" Jin Bao interrupted the woman's words at the right time and warned.

Qiu Yeli sat paralyzed on the ground, muttering to herself as if she had lost her soul, completely without her usual calm and self-sufficient appearance.

Gu Jingcheng stood up, squatted aside in a good mood, and looked at her, "Qiu Yeli, it is your honor to see you, anyway, the third brother will not come back, you will follow me tonight, and I will also seal you." How can you be a noble concubine?"

Qiu Yeli looked like a poisoned knife, and was about to spit at him, but saw the guard pointing in the opposite direction and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, it's gone! It seems to be Chunxi Palace!"

Everyone looked over, the flames had already sprung up, and the black smoke was billowing, illuminating half of the sky.

Qiu Yeli paused slightly, isn't Chunxi Palace the palace where Concubine Shu lives?

Gu Jingcheng also woke up most of the wine, looked in the direction of the flames and cursed secretly, "This damn old woman!"

"Your Majesty." Jin Bao looked at Gu Jingcheng worriedly, and whispered.

"Come on, hurry up and put out the fire. Make sure that Concubine Shu is safe, otherwise come and see me!" Gu Jingcheng cursed, got up and left in a hurry.

"Yes!" The guards rushed to put out the fire.

Qiu Yeli wiped away her tears, looked at the panicked palace maids and eunuchs, she was still half sad, took out the warm letter in her arms and put it away properly, if she hadn't got the letter from Gu Jingyao secretly sent yesterday, she might still be He really believed Gu Jingcheng's words.

The letter said that he was ambushed on the way back to Beijing, escaped by chance, and was safe and sound now, so she was asked not to worry about it, and kept the news until he returned to Beijing.

Qiu Yeli also went to Chunxi Palace, doubts in her heart, why did the palace suddenly flood, is it man-made or a coincidence?She cared more about Concubine Shu's safety.

The Chunxi Palace was in disrepair for a long time, the dead wood was rotten, and the fire could not be suppressed for a while, but fortunately, the guards rushed into the palace and snatched Concubine Shu out.

The old man over sixty years old was lying on the ground dying, his mouth and nose had been blackened by the smoke, and his life and death were unknown.

"Doctor! Come!" The emperor frowned and shouted.

The woman in a dark long dress quickly squatted down to check. After a while, Qiu Yeli let the crowd disperse, put it in the open space, and brought a bowl of water for him to drink.

"Your Majesty, the concubine simply didn't inhale much smoke, her life is safe, and she needs to rest well."

Gu Jingcheng glanced at her, but in the end he didn't say much, he just responded in a low voice and asked the eunuch to carry her into the side hall.

The fire was finally brought under control and extinguished, leaving ruins everywhere.

"How could the Chunxi Palace be on fire!" Gu Jingcheng stood outside the palace with his hands behind his hands, looking at the guards angrily and shouting loudly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it was probably the wild cat that knocked over the palace lantern. There was no one on duty in Chunxi Palace, and the fire was only discovered when it got too big."

The chief eunuch lowered his head and explained carefully.

"Kill all the wild cats in the palace! Also, investigate the cause of the water leakage!" Gu Jingcheng snorted coldly, threw off his sleeves and left.

The next day, news spread that Huihui Jingyao was ambushed by the enemy, fell into the turbulent river and was washed away to his death.

Liu Xiangxiang turned pale, and hurried to find Qiu Yeli, but the latter took care of Concubine Shu in the emperor's newly installed side hall.

"Miss Liu, Miss Liu, you can't go in!" The maid blocked the door to prevent her from entering, but Liu Xiangxiang pushed her away.

"Qiuyeli! Qiuyeli!" Liu Xiangxiang pushed open the door and rushed in as he spoke. Beside the bed, Qiuyeli was patiently feeding Concubine Shu the medicine in the jade bowl.

"Qiu Yeli! Do you know, do you know that Brother Jing Yao is still in the mood to serve an old woman here?" Liu Xiangxiang angrily pointed at Concubine Shu and grabbed Qiu Yeli's sleeve and roared angrily.

Qiu Yeli frowned, looked at the overturned medicine bowl, and said lightly to the maid, "Clean it up, and make another bowl."

Then he looked at Liu Xiangxiang whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, and said, "Miss Liu is so sad, those who don't know think you are Princess Luo!"

"You!" Liu Xiangxiang looked at her incredulously, and slowly shook his head, "Do you have any heart, woman! Brother Jing Yao treats you so well! I thought that even though you are humble and have a vulgar temper, you will still treat Brother Jing Yao after all. A little sincere, I didn't expect you to be so heartless and ungrateful, I knew I shouldn't have given Brother Jing Yao to you in the first place!"

Qiu Yeli sneered, and looked at Liu Xiangxiang coldly, "The man is dead, and the living must live after all. Miss Liu is so determined, why not keep her filial piety for three years, maybe in the next life, Gu Jingyao will be moved by your sincerity to marry you Not necessarily a wife!"

"You! I won't let you go! I won't let you go!" Liu Xiangxiang angrily pointed at Qiu Yeli and finished cursing, then rushed out of the door.

Qiu Yeli lowered her expression, turned around and looked at the person on the bed, two lines of tears fell from the corners of Concubine Shu's eyes, she opened her mouth and looked at Qiu Yeli with difficulty, "Who are you talking about just now?"

Qiu Yeli was slightly stunned, remembering that Gu Jingyao grew up in the palace, Concubine Shu must know about it, so she pursed her lips and said, "Frontier urgent report, King Luo was besieged by enemy troops, unfortunately fell into the water, life and death are unknown."

Tears welled up in Concubine Shu's eyes, she opened her mouth wide, but she couldn't make a sound, obviously extremely sad.

Qiu Yeli frowned, seeing the old man like this, felt a little unbearable, hesitating whether to tell the truth and wipe away his tears.

"Who are you?" After all, it was someone who had experienced Gongdou, Concubine Shu looked at Qiu Yeli with sharp eyes.

"My concubine, Qiu Yeli, was originally the wife of Luo Wang who worshiped heaven and earth when he was away." Qiu Yeli made a concise statement, and said in a low voice, "I am in love with Luo Wang, and the relationship is very strong, and I believe in Luo. Wang Yingyong will definitely not be buried in the belly of a fish."

Concubine Shu's wrinkled face was full of vicissitudes, as if she had lost all hope overnight, looked at the gleaming ceiling and sighed deeply, and said to herself, "Sister, sister is incompetent, after all, there is no Take good care of Yao'er for you"

Qiu Yeli's brows twitched slightly, and she whispered, "Why did Concubine Shu say that? His Royal Highness Luo Wang once said in his concubine that everyone in the palace thought he was humiliated by him when he was young. Fortunately, a lady treated him very well. Consolation, could it be Concubine Shu?"

As Qiu Yeli spoke, her eyes turned red with emotion, and tears fell like broken beads. Seeing her like this, Grand Concubine Shu felt even more uncomfortable.

Qiu Yeli secretly praised herself, her acting skills are getting better and better, Gu Jingyao has a deep temper, and rarely talks to herself about the affairs of the palace, let alone her empress.

"Good fortune tricks people." Concubine Shu seemed to be extremely sad, and she sighed after a long time. Qiu Yeli was worried, afraid that she would be too sad if she was really sad.
