After marrying wrongly, I became the general's white moonlight

Chapter 238 Suspicion in the Palace
Murong Qing knew that this was the only way to go, so asking might arouse suspicion.

So she poured a bowl of hot tea, handed it to the imperial concubine and said, "Your Majesty, have a cup of hot tea."

The imperial concubine opened her eyes, tiredness was written between her brows, she waved her hand and said in a low voice, "Madam, go back to the side hall, I'm a little tired, so I won't see you off."

Murong Qing put the hot tea back on the table, "Okay, that poor concubine will leave first, so that the empress can rest."

Taking one last look at the decadent imperial concubine, Murong Qing calmly left the main hall.

But her heart was far from as indifferent as her face. The waves roared in her heart, and she was as shocked as a landslide.

As night fell, Murong lay on the bed early in the morning thinking.

This deep palace is far from being as peaceful as she thought. Underneath this tranquility is an undercurrent, erratic and treacherous.

The highest and strictest in this world is the imperial power, and the darkest and darkest is also the imperial power.

What kind of role does the imperial concubine play in it?

As she said, does she really have friendship with Pei Mo's mother Rufei?

Questions followed one after another.

Of course, not only noble concubines, but also a concubine who gave birth to an heir can be killed and disappeared so that no one even mentions it to civil and military officials, which shows how complicated the power and benefits are hidden inside.

At least, the emperor and empress were insiders at the scene, and they were the ones who were most likely to harm Concubine Ru.

Apart from them, Murong Qing couldn't think of anyone else who had such a great right to let a person die completely.

After thinking about it, if the emperor is the current emperor, it is not easy to execute a concubine.

Even if someone knows about the secrets of the royal family, if they are arrested, they can be killed with any crime. Why is it so complicated.

Then only the Empress of the Central Palace is left. Murong Qing's heart sinks. If it is an empress, then there are more things involved. Up to the empress dowager and the empress's mother's family, down to the petty officials and literati who have been favored by the empress's mother's family and various staff.

It was a web with many spiders crawling inside, Rufei became a cicada caught in the net, everyone was full, and only Rufei died.

Thinking about it, Murong Qing fell asleep unknowingly, her frowning showed her uneasiness.

She had a nightmare. In the dream, many people who couldn't see their faces beat and scolded her, accused her, and finally tied her up and wanted to chop her with a guillotine.

Murong Qing woke up suddenly, gasping for breath while holding his aching brain, but it didn't get better after a long time, and even his stomach started to hurt.

She lay powerlessly, with her hands on her belly, the child in her belly became more cheerful and kicked her belly one after another.

Murong Qingxin said, no, I really can't stay in this palace anymore, anyway I can't find anything, why not leave the palace early tomorrow morning!

After she felt less uncomfortable, she turned over and faced the gauze curtain. With her eyes closed, she always felt that there was a flickering light outside, which made her sleepless.

Murong Qing could only sit up, opened the gauze curtain, and saw the faint light of fire outside.

Not like a lantern, not like a torch, more like a building burning!

She stood up and opened the door, and as expected, the palace in the distance was on fire, almost illuminating the dark sky nearby.

The surroundings were very noisy, men's shouts, splashing water, and the sound of buildings collapsing were mixed together, forming a mess.

The movement outside the door woke Ping'er up, and she asked, "What's wrong? It's on fire!"

Murong Qing saw a court lady passing by carrying a bucket, she hurried forward to stop her.

"What's the matter, which palace is on fire, is it serious?"

The maid's face was blackened, she was obviously someone who had come out of the fire, "Ma'am, the Purple Fortune Palace of the empress is on fire. gone."

As he spoke, he staggered and ran to fight the fire with water.

"Empress?" Murong Qing murmured the word.

Seeing a mess of eunuchs and court ladies outside the Moonlight Gate from a distance, he made a decision in his heart.

"Ping'er, you carry the bucket and follow me to the queen's bedroom to fight the fire."

Ping'er was a little surprised, "Ma'am, you are bulky, I can do the firefighting, you better not go."

Murong Qing said, "I don't carry water, I just watch from a distance, let's go, if we go in time, we will still be able to fight the fire."

Ping'er could only follow Murong Qing towards the chaotic Purple Fortune Palace.

Of course Murong Qing didn't just look around as she said, she even wanted to get close to the queen, if she could talk, that would be even better.

As a result, Murong Qing didn't realize until he arrived that he was delusional.

From a distance, he didn't feel anything, until the Zifu Palace was completely displayed in front of his eyes, Murong Qing didn't know how fierce the fire was.

In a two-story palace, the flames would lick up to the eaves.

The place twenty feet in front of the palace is as bright as daylight, and the place fifteen feet away can feel the scorching heat coming towards us.

"My God!"

Ping'er was amazed, and the reactions of many court ladies and eunuchs who had just rushed to put out the fire were exactly the same as hers.

"No, the beam is about to collapse, and the empress is still inside! Come quickly!"

A maid shouted hissingly, it must be the maid next to the queen.

More and more guards and eunuchs rushed into the fire, making the situation even more tense.

A house fire gathered half of the people in the harem in front of Zifu Palace, and Murong Qing even saw Concubine Rong here.

I didn't notice anything at first, but when I looked at the imperial concubine carefully, I found that hatred flashed in her eyes.

Murong Qing was sure that he was not mistaken, it was hatred, hatred to the bone.

She just felt that her mind was in a mess, and there were more and more doubts.

"Come out! The Empress has been rescued!"

There was an exclamation in front of the fire scene, awakening the pensive Murong Qing.

I saw an eunuch coming out from the gate of the burning palace, and the eunuch was carrying an unconscious woman on his back, obviously the empress.

"Hurry up and tell the imperial doctor!"

Someone shouted loudly, and the voice just fell, "Boom——"

With a loud noise, the beams of the house collapsed, and the plaque of Zifu Palace also fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

Fortunately, the empress had already escaped from the scene of fire, and those who did not come out were just some unknown pawns.

Even so, the expressions of the people present were different, except for Concubine Rong Gui.

The hatred in Concubine Rong's eyes deepened, as if she wished the queen would die in the fire.

So Murong Qing was even more sure that the noble concubine and the queen had a lot of grievances.

The imperial doctor had already arrived. At this time, several imperial doctors surrounded the queen, followed by maids of honor and eunuchs, and the crowd was tight.

Murong Qing could only dispel the idea of ​​going forward to check on the Queen's situation.

She sighed, and suddenly felt that the little guy in her belly started kicking herself again, frowning and patting her belly, hoping that the little guy would be quieter.

The little guy seemed extra rowdy tonight.

Murong Qing was a little uncomfortable being roasted by this scorching breath, and turned around to leave.

Unexpectedly, it crashed into a steel-like embrace.

Murong Qing raised his head and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
