A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 541 Strange Taste
That tone really sounded like she was reluctant to part with Meng Yan.

Meng Yan said: "That's because the Empress Dowager concentrates on worshiping the Buddha, and all her thoughts are on this Buddhist matter."

The queen mother laughed twice, glanced at Meng Yan, and said, "You are a smart child. It's a pity that you were born in the countryside."

She twirled a few beads, and said with regret: "If you were born in Xie's family, Ai's family might regard you as a pearl and hold you in the palm of their hands."

Meng Yan said: "Thanks to the empress dowager's wrong love, it makes the courtiers feel very panic."

The queen mother lowered her head, raised the prayer beads in her hand, and then pulled the corner of her futon, she was relaxed and peaceful, with a calm look on her face, and said: "Unfortunately, she is also a person who doesn't know how to judge the situation. .”

Meng Yan said: "The minister's wife is just a country girl. She doesn't understand those important principles. She only knows that after she gets married, she pretends to be her husband wholeheartedly. At the same time, the minister's wife is just a little girl, and she can't rub the sand in her eyes, let alone tolerate her husband. Three wives and four concubines. I hope the Queen Mother can understand."

"Little girl?" The Empress Dowager laughed, "Princess Yin Wu's words are too modest."

The queen mother stopped talking about these things, and the queen mother only said: "You can go back and rest after you accompany Ai's family to finish reciting a section of scriptures."

I recited this passage for half an hour.

The Buddhist hall was very quiet for a time, only the sound of wooden fish knocking on the hall was left.

Half an hour later, the queen mother let Meng Yan go back, but she herself continued to stay in the Buddhist hall, showing no intention of leaving.

Coming out of the Buddhist hall, Chongyi spat coldly in a low voice: "If it wasn't for all the things she did before, she might really be confused by her appearance."

Meng Yan smiled and said, "You also think it looks like real compassion, don't you?"

Chongyi said: "Princess, don't trust that old witch."

Meng Yan said: "The people on the scene, no matter if they are sincere or not, they all speak well in one way. But usually the higher the position, the less she can tolerate a little bit of sand, and the more merciful she is to you. , the more I want to kill you."

Back at the residence, the Empress Dowager's palace staff stayed outside as usual.

The stone path leading to the yard was clean and lonely, the palace lanterns under the trees were hazy and dim, and it was almost impossible to see the clusters of plum blossoms blooming on both sides. Everything was still the same as last night, not different.

Seeing that the lights in the dormitory were off and the door was tightly closed, Meng Yan thought that Yin Heng had said that he would come later during the day, so she took it for granted that he was here.

Meng Yan secretly felt that she was funny, knowing that he shouldn't come, but she was still looking forward to him in her heart.

Walking up the steps, Chongyi got used to going forward to help Meng Yan open the door.

This time after Chongyi opened the door, she wanted to stand aside, but she didn't seem to find traces of another person in the bedroom like last night.

Yin Heng hasn't come yet.

But soon, the two people's attention was no longer on whether Yin Heng came or not.

The two entered the bedroom, and just after taking two steps, they found a strange smell in the air.

Chongyi waved his hand in front of his nose, and said, "Who the hell put garlic here? It smells like garlic!"

It smelled like garlic at first glance, and it was very pungent.

A string in Meng Yan's heart was faintly tensed.

Chongyi was also secretly vigilant, but was also stimulated to sneezes a few times.She protected Meng Yan behind her, and said: "Wangfei first go outside and wait, I will light the lamp."

Right now, the room is very dark, and apart from the sudden smell, there are no other clues.Only when the lamp is lit, will we know what is acting as a demon.

Meng Yan felt that something was wrong, and something flashed through her mind, but she missed it for a moment, so she couldn't remember what was wrong.

Just at this moment of hesitation, Chongyi strode towards the Shadeng.

But the closer he got, the more frequently Chongyi sneezed, and it could be seen that the smell came from that side.

Chongyi went to touch the fire folder, and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck, what is it, it stinks!"

Meng Yan frowned, it smelled like garlic at first glance, but if it was really garlic, would it irritate Chongyi like this?

Putting garlic in her bedroom, apart from giving it a strong smell, what damage can it do to her?
No, you can't.

So...that's probably not garlic.

What would that be?
Meng Yan's mind was spinning rapidly, but she couldn't catch the flash of inspiration just now.

Chongyi was extremely careful, she touched the fire folder, opened it and blew on it.

Dots of red light flickered from the fire pocket, vaguely illuminating the corner of the lampstand.

Chongyi couldn't see it clearly, and said coldly while lighting the lamp: "There is some powder here."

Meng Yan asked, "What powder?"

Chongyi said: "I don't know, I think the smell comes from here. Princess, don't get close, wait for me to confirm first."

She moved nimbly, and quickly took the torch and lit it towards the wick.

The next moment, when Meng Yan finally remembered what the smell might come from, her expression changed suddenly, and she shouted, "Don't light the lamp!"

However, it was already a step too late, Chongyi's fire folder touched the wick, and Dou Da's fire gradually lit up.

Chongyi finally saw clearly that the powder was not only scattered in a corner of the lamp stand, but was spread in several gauze lanterns, on the table, and in the corner of the floor where she was sitting.

She was stunned for a moment when she heard Meng Yan stop, but before she was sure what the powder was, Meng Yan said again in a cold voice, "Quickly turn off the lights!"

Although Chongyi did not know what to do, he immediately followed suit.

But at that moment, the powder was all around the wick, and the powder reacted, and the fire suddenly flickered.

Then, just like a fuse being ignited, a cluster of small flames exploded into a wave of fire, and rushed towards Chongyi fiercely head-on!
Together with the gauze lamp, those powders burned blazingly.

"careful!"

Chongyi moved extremely quickly, raising his hand to cover his face, but at the same time, the half of his body facing the lantern was covered with flames.

Immediately, Meng Yan rushed towards Chongyi quickly, pinned her down on the ground, and rolled twice.

Chongyi was smoking all over, but luckily the fire on his body was extinguished.

But the fire on the other side of the lampstand was out of control, and it spread rapidly with lightning speed.

Meng Yan and Chongyi looked up, their eyes were illuminated by the flames.

The reason why the fire spread so quickly was all because of the powder.

The place where the powder is spread, once there is a sign of traction, it will be a sea of ​​fire in an instant!
Not only on the side of the lampstand, but also in the entire bedroom, the gauze curtains, the corners of the walls, and even the bed curtains on the couch, are all covered in that kind of powder!

Meng Yan helped Chongyi up, without bothering to inquire about her injury, said: "It's phosphorous powder, get out!"

It's just that Meng Yan had little contact with this thing in the past, so he didn't think of it for a while.

Phosphorus powder itself has a pungent smell and is prone to spontaneous combustion in summer, but the temperature is not enough in winter, so the possibility of spontaneous combustion is small.

The bad thing is that Chongyi went to light the lamp.
