The world is full of poisonous women

Chapter 383 Dangerous 24
At night, Zixing had just finished bathing and was lying on the imperial concubine chair with her long hair dripping with water. Liu Xi was brushing her hair when Liu Xu hurried in, touched her body with blessings, and said in a hurry: "Princess, Jingning The palace is flooded."

Zixing's eyes still stayed on the scroll, and he asked lazily, "Are there any casualties?"

"Concubine Hui is dead." Liu Xu shuddered when she said that.

"Have you found out why?" Zixing asked again.

"The palace man who came to spread the word said that it was the concubine Hui who set the fire. She said that since the princess went to Jingning Palace, the concubine Hui had locked herself in her room and refused to eat. The servant, who is used to such situations, is also unwilling to take care of her with all her heart. She refuses to eat or open the door, so no one cares about her anymore. But who knows, after everyone rested, Concubine Hui suddenly Laughing loudly in the house, locked the door and windows, set fire to the house, and burned himself to death. Although the fire was extinguished, no one was rescued. There were satin everywhere in the house, and a little fire killed him. Let’s go. The wind is blowing again tonight, and it’s too late to save people. The eunuch in charge of Jingning Palace has already been taken to Yaofeng Palace for questioning.”

After listening to Liu Xu's words, Zixing put down the scroll, "Take a cloak, let's go and have a look."

"Yes."

Although the open flames have almost been extinguished, the hot air is still scurrying wantonly in every corner of Jingning Palace with the wind from nowhere. In the room where Concubine Hui lives, there are wisps of black smoke that are not in a hurry. circled upwards and spread out.

Concubine Hui's body was placed outside the room, covered with a clean white cloth, several palace servants were kneeling there, pretending to cry, they should be the ones serving her here.

Helian Youran stood in front of the house in unlined clothes, and was directing people to look around to see if there was any kindling, fearing that it would burn again.

"Sister." Zixing walked behind her and called out.

She turned around and saw her in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I heard that Jingning Palace was flooded, so I came here to see if my sister was not surprised."

"I'm fine, it's Concubine Hui... I thought her madness had improved a lot, but I didn't expect that she set fire to the house and ended up like this. Yesterday she was still a good person, but today ..." Helian said leisurely, covered the tip of her nose with a handkerchief and began to cry.

Zixing took off the cloak on her body and put it on for her, then walked to Concubine Hui's body, stretched out her hand and lifted the white cloth.

"Princess..." Liu Xu looked at it and was anxious to stop her, but after she took a look, she had already covered the cloth again.

"It's okay, I just want to see Concubine Hui for the last time." Zixing sighed, "Sister, I'm afraid I can't stay here at night, why don't you and I go back to Zixing Palace and stay for one night, and I will ask you tomorrow. After becoming a mother, I will let you go back to the Cuizhu Pavilion, even if you close your doors and think about your mistakes, it is better than suffering here."

Helian leisurely froze for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "Is this okay? You did this without Father's will..."

"If there is anything, I will take care of it. I can't let my sister stay here tonight. There is a reason for the incident, and my father should not blame me. Let's go! It's almost here, let them do it!"

Zixing took Helian Youran's hand involuntarily, and left Jingning Palace with her.
