Help!The icy grandpa has moved my heart

Chapter 339
In the front hall, the queen stood up from her seat when she learned that the northwest hall was on fire.

"What did you say?"

The people below looked anxious, "Go back to your mother, the Northwest Hall is on fire!"

This time, not only the queen's face changed, but also the noble ladies who were sitting there also changed their faces. Their family members also went to the Northwest Hall to change their clothes, and some of them haven't come back yet.

In an instant, everyone panicked.

"My daughter also went to the Northwest Palace to change!"

"My mother is inside too..."

Everyone hurried towards the northwest hall in panic.

An event as big as the fire must not be hidden from the emperor. The emperor also received the news, and he was astonished.

At this time, there was already thick smoke rising from the direction of the northwest hall.

"Quick, put out the fire!" The emperor roared!

During the turmoil of fighting the fire, Qu Fulan bumped into Pei Ji'an's arms.

Fortunately, she had experienced what it was like.

"Why did you come here!" Qu Fulan was overjoyed, panicked and aggrieved, ignoring the situation at this time, and hugged him directly.

When Pei Ji'an saw Qu Fulan, his heart went back to his stomach, and he wrapped his arms around her waist, "We have to leave this place, don't talk yet."

He led her to turn left and right, came to a room, and opened the door.

This place is remote, so he brought her into the room and handed her the bundle in his hand, "Go and change first."

The stains on her body are still there, it can be seen that the maid's clothes have not been delivered, and she has no clothes to change.

Qu Fulan didn't say much, and changed his clothes directly.

She ran outside for a while, and the wet clothes on her body were blown by the wind and touched her skin. It was freezing cold, and there was no charcoal fire in the house.

"Yawn! Yawn!" Sure enough, she sneezed immediately.

Pei Ji'an's back was facing Qu Fulan. Hearing her yawn, Pei Ji'an couldn't help frowning, "What happened earlier?"

Qu Fulan explained what could be explained while changing clothes.

"There is a problem in that room. My clothes should have been wet on purpose, just to lead me into that room. Not long after I entered, I became dizzy. Fortunately, I had medicine on me, so I took it quickly. It was better, and then I wanted to go out, but the door was locked from the outside."

Recalling the situation at that time, Qu Fulan felt anxious for something.

Especially when footsteps came from outside, she thought some villain was coming in, but it turned out to be the maid who came in to check the situation. She hid behind the door, knocked the maid unconscious with a vase, and ran out.

The people who plotted against her must not have imagined that she had the antidote, so the maid came in to check the situation. Once it was confirmed that she passed out, what would happen next, I don't know.

Qu Fulan definitely couldn't just stay where she was and wait, so she ran out resolutely, turned a corner, and bumped into someone. She almost spilled the medicine in her hand, thinking she had bumped into some bad person, but luckily she looked up, and the medicine was taken away. went back.

Unless she has to, she will not use the medicine in the space, otherwise it will not be easy to deal with the aftermath. For example, the maid who entered the house first, she would pick up the vase and smash it. If it was a man, she would definitely have to use the medicine. something's up.

After Qu Fulan changed his clothes, he sneezed several times, probably because he caught a cold.

Pei Ji'an's face was ugly, his wife was plotted against, so of course he would have an ugly face.

"I'll find out, and I won't let you be wronged for nothing," he said.

Although nothing happened in the end, but this is her vigilant, scheming person behind the scenes, and he will not let her go.

Qu Fulan felt that the matter was not that simple, nothing happened, so it was difficult to investigate, besides, this was the imperial palace, not Pei's mansion.

But she didn't say anything. He should have his own way to find out. It would be best if he finds out. If he can't find out, she just needs to be more careful in the future.

"It seemed that there was a fire outside?" Qu Fulan was only focused on running before, and she didn't care about whether it was on fire or not, but now she came to her senses.

"I asked someone to do it. One of your two maids fell into the water, and the other took the clothes and came to find you. I expected that something would happen to you, and it is not good to blatantly barge into the women's side, so I can only take the worst strategy. "

Qu Fulan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to do this for her, this is the imperial palace, it's not a joke to be caught up in spreading rumors.

"But this is the palace, what should we do if we are found out?"

"It is indeed on fire, but the difference between the big fire and the small fire, I can't find it on my head, don't worry."

Qu Fulan stepped forward and hugged his waist again, without saying anything.

"Taking advantage of the chaos outside, you go out to reunite with the female relatives first, and I have to go back too." Pei Ji'an kissed her on the forehead and said.

Qu Fulan nodded, "Then you should be careful all the way."

The two separated immediately, and Qu Fulan took advantage of the chaos to hide among the female relatives. Everyone was busy watching the fire, and didn't pay much attention to it.

Indeed, as Pei Ji'an said, the fire was not that big, it was only burning in one room. I heard that the fire was not serious, and the maids and eunuchs were busy putting out the fire.

But at this time, there were quite a lot of people outside the Northwest Hall. The emperor and empress were here, as were all the ministers and their wives, watching the fire fighting situation. Seeing that the fire was finally extinguished, the empress was relieved.

At this time, someone came to the Empress Dowager's Palace, conveyed the Empress Dowager's words, and asked what happened here. The emperor was afraid that the old Empress Dowager would know that it was a fire and affect her health, so she said it was all right, and told the person to go back and stop talking nonsense.

Regarding this fire, it can be explained by a false alarm.

In the end the fire was extinguished, but the emperor was still very angry. He couldn't sleep at night if he didn't find out why the fire happened.

After checking, it turned out that it was today's banquet. Charcoal fires were prepared in every room of the Northwest Hall. The brazier was placed next to the table, and there was no one in the room.

Given the circumstances, it was a complete surprise.

But the emperor didn't accept this reason. What do so many court ladies and eunuchs do?There's a fire in the house, why not watch?

The queen was implicated because of this. She is the queen and manages the harem. It is not an exaggeration to say that she should be careful on such occasions. The fact that the maids and eunuchs can be negligent is due to the lack of strict discipline.

The queen had no complaints, and fined herself three months of money, eating vegetarian food for three months, and copying scriptures.

The Ouchi manager was taken down on the spot and beat twenty big boards.

Not to mention the other court ladies and eunuchs, they were beaten and fined, but no one died. After all, it was Princess Zhuyu's reception banquet, and the emperor would not let such a banquet see blood.

But this welcome banquet ended like this. A fire, no matter how big or small, ruined everyone's mood. What mood is there to stay and continue to enjoy?The emperor was the first to leave, let alone the others.

It was on the way home with Pei Ji'an that Qu Fulan realized that after she was splashed with soup, Xiao Shiqing was also splashed.

So she guessed the purpose of the person behind it.

And the reason why Pei Ji'an made a fire came out was also for this reason. He first came out when he heard that the maid beside her had fallen into the water, and then he knew that she was wet with soup to change her clothes, so he thought of Xiao Shiqing, so he hurried away In the past, it turned out that someone was guarding outside, and it was inconvenient for him to break in, so he asked people to go in and have a look.

Ruyin said that he couldn't find her, so he had no choice but to make a bad plan.

"But Xiao Shiqing didn't show up in the women's quarters in the end." Pei Ji'an said, when he changed his clothes and returned to the emperor's side, Xiao Shiqing was already there.

That's where things go in a weird way.
