The emperor's husband wants to hug

Chapter 166 On Fire
Suddenly, Sun Tzu raised his knocked head.

After seeing the Queen Mother's expression, he suddenly understood that the Queen Mother had set him up and was just waiting for him to slip into the trap.

"Come here, pull him down, beat him hard, and then lock him up. Without the order of Aijia, no one will give him food. Pull him down!"

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, two guards came in and escorted Sun Zichu out.

If Sun Tzuchu hadn't refused the queen mother's request to assassinate Prime Minister You at the beginning, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been beaten either.

The reason why Sun Tzu Chu refused was because he knew that he would never return when he went to Prime Minister You's mansion to assassinate him, and because he didn't want to make Mu Qiu sad.

But now, he is afraid that his Sun family will be implicated and the nine clans will be killed.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, subordinates, work for the Empress Dowager, the subordinates will not hesitate to die..."

When Sun Tzuchu was carried to the door of the bedroom, he shouted loudly.

However, his shout, what he waited for, was only two words.

"late!"

After Sun Tzuchu was pulled out, the door of the sleeping hall was closed again.

Nanny Qin stood aside respectfully, and handed the freshly brewed tea to the Empress Dowager.

"Queen Mother, I don't understand why you don't use him? If you threaten Concubine Xuan and the Sun family, Guard Sun will definitely assassinate Prime Minister You."

After receiving the tea, the Queen Mother took a few sips, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

"Do you think that he can assassinate Prime Minister You? The reason Aijia asked him to assassinate Prime Minister You was just to test his loyalty. Since he bluntly rejected Aijia, it can only show that he has great respect for him." Sad family, not faithful."

The current grandson Chu is indeed not loyal to the Queen Mother.

The reason for his infidelity is Concubine Xuan, Mu Qiu.

"Then Queen Mother, why didn't you just kill him?"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager stood up from the imperial concubine chair, and Nanny Qin hurried over to support her.

"He is not loyal to the Ai family now, but it doesn't mean that he is useless to the Ai family. You immediately send someone to Changle Palace to set a fire on the Ai family, but remember, you can't burn Concubine Xuan to death. Understand?"

Mother Qin was still a little puzzled by what the queen mother said.

"Yes, the old slave will do it now."

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

In Changle Palace, because the palace people were sent away by Mu Qiu, there was no one waiting outside the bedroom.

But at this moment, a petite figure walked out of the hall, she looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, she took out a fire pocket from her sleeve, lit the firewood she brought, and opened the bedroom. through the windows, and still put the ignited firewood into the bedroom.

On the bed, Mu Qiu was already sound asleep, and she only felt warmer and warmer in her sleep.

She didn't open her eyes from her sleep until the fire got bigger and bigger.

"Ah... it's on fire, it's on fire, help, help..."

For a while, Changle Palace became noisy.

The fire in the sleeping hall could not be controlled, and it burned bigger and bigger, until even the bed was ignited, and the palace people brought water to put out the fire.

Jinxi Palace.

"Master, master..."

Hua Mujin and Bai Zhanke were sound asleep on the bed, but there was the sound of falling dust outside.

"what's up."

After waking up, Bai Zhanke opened his eyes and asked in a low voice.

"Master, Changle Palace is on fire."

Changle Palace?
Hua Mujin, who originally planned to continue sleeping, suddenly sat up from the bed when she heard the words 'Changle Palace is on fire'.

"What? Changle Palace is on fire?"

She remembered that Changle Palace was Mu Qiu's bedroom.

"Yes."

For a moment, Hua Mujin couldn't sit still anymore, she hurriedly got up from the bed, took a coat from the side, put it on her body, and prepared to open the door.

However, he was held back by Bai Zhanke.

"You let go, I have to go and see if Mu Qiu was burned."

Hua Mujin wanted to shake off Bai Zhanke's hand, but she knew that her strength was no match for Bai Zhanke.

"Don't worry, put on your clothes."

Bai Zhanke's gaze fell on Hua Mujin's chest.

Hua Hibiscus looked down, her face flushed slightly, and she tugged at her neckline in embarrassment.

Under Bai Zhanke's forceful action, Hua Mujin didn't rush to Changle Palace until she was dressed.

But Bai Zhanke didn't go.

"Mu Qiu, are you okay?"

Seeing Mu Qiu being supported by the palace maid, Hua Mujin stepped forward and looked her up and down, seeing that she was not injured, she felt relieved.

"Sister Jin, I, I..."

Mu Qiu was still in fear at this moment, when she saw Hua Hibiscus coming, she immediately hugged Hua Hibiscus, with tears in her eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Hua Mujin comforted Mu Qiu until her body stopped trembling and she calmed down, then she took her to her own Jinxi Palace.

Afterwards, she settled down Mu Qiu before returning to her bedroom.

At this time, Bai Zhanke was still in the bedroom.

"I always feel that this fire is not an accident."

In the harem, Mu Qiu has always kept aloof from the world, and has little contact with other concubines, let alone any quarrels.

Moreover, the other concubines probably knew that Mu Qiu was no threat to them at all.

"I will send someone to investigate."

"It didn't catch fire early, it didn't catch fire late, but it didn't catch fire until I returned to the palace, and it was Mu Qiu's bedroom. I suspect that someone wanted to use this to warn me."

Everyone in the harem knows that Mu Qiu and Hua Mujin are extremely close.

And she, Hua Mujin, was the thorn in the eyes of these women in the harem, so it was inevitable that she would think about it.

"Jin'er, come here."

Hua Mujin walked towards Bai Zhanke, he grabbed her by hand, and pulled her to sit beside him.

"Jin'er, there is no one in this harem who is trustworthy. You have a close relationship with Concubine Xuan. I have no objection, but still, you have to be careful."

Although Prime Minister You is loyal to Bai Zhanke, Bai Zhanke doesn't think that Mu Qiu, the daughter of Prime Minister You, is credible.

Of course, Hua Mujin also heard the meaning of Bai Zhanke's words.

"You mean, the fire was set by Mu Qiu himself?"

"I, I didn't say that."

Hua Mujin looked at Bai Zhanke and stood up suddenly.

"Bai Zhanke, you don't have to trust Mu Qiu, it's okay, but she is the first person in this palace who treats me sincerely, I trust her, it is impossible to set fire on her own. Moreover, she has no reason to set fire in her bedroom. "

"I didn't say she set fire!"

Hua Hibiscus misinterpreted what she meant, and Bai Zhanke was a little helpless.

"You didn't say it, but what you said probably meant that. Anyway, I will find out who set it on fire, and I will never let the person who wants to hurt Mu Qiu go."

For Hua Mujin, Mu Qiu is her younger sister.

If anyone wants to hurt Mu Qiu, she will never let that person go.

When Hua Mujin said these words, outside the bedroom, Mu Qiu's eyes were a little moist, she pursed her lips, not knowing how to express her feelings.

She is a concubine in the harem and the emperor's woman. Although she never prayed that the emperor would care about her, after her accident, the emperor didn't even show her face, so she still felt a little uncomfortable.

But after hearing Hua Mujin's words, she felt that she was lucky.

At least, in this harem, there is another person who treats her sincerely.

The next day, early in the morning.

Although Hua Mujin didn't have a good rest all night, she still got up early.

"Mu Qiu, why is your complexion not so good? Did you really get burned last night? Do you want to invite the imperial doctor to take a look?"

At the dinner table, Hua Mujin looked at Mu Qiu who was pale and worried.

Moreover, Mu Qiu didn't eat much.

"Sister Jin, I'm fine, but I was scared last night and haven't recovered yet."

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Well, I'm fine, don't worry."

Mu Qiu forced a smile, but Hua Mujin was still very worried about her.

At this moment, an eunuch came in and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has sent someone here."

Queen Mother?

"What did the queen mother send someone for?"

At this time the queen mother sent someone, Hua Mujin felt very strange.

"Returning to the Empress, the person sent said that the Empress Dowager summoned Concubine Xuan to the Ganlu Hall, saying that she was asking the imperial doctor to see if Concubine Xuan was burned last night."

Hua Hibiscus felt that the queen mother's move was definitely out of good intentions.

And she also had a feeling that the fire in Changle Palace last night was set by someone sent by the Queen Mother.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have summoned Mu Qiu early in the morning.

"Go back and tell me that Concubine Xuan has been frightened and should not move around."

"Yes."

"and many more……"

Just when the eunuch was about to answer Hua Mujin's order, Mu Qiu stopped the eunuch.

"Sister Jin, I'm really fine. The Empress Dowager summoned me. If I don't go, I will be disrespectful to the Empress Dowager. In the future, I will inevitably be troubled by the Empress Dowager. I will go to the Ganlu Hall first, and I will be back in a while."

"No, in case she..."

Of course, Hua Mujin also knew that if Mu Qiu refused to go to Ganlu Hall, the queen mother would definitely be angry.

But if you go, it doesn't mean that the queen mother is not looking for Mu Qiu's trouble.

"Sister Jin, it's really fine, don't worry."

Unable to resist Mu Qiu, Hua Mujin finally compromised.

"Okay, Cherry, you are good to follow your mother. If there is anything, come to Jinxi Palace in time to find me."

"Yes, Concubine Xi."

Mu Qiu came all the way from Jinxi Palace to Ganlu Palace, she was still a little uneasy, and she didn't know why the Queen Mother summoned her.

Although Mu Qiu was always accompanied by Cherry, Cherry was stopped outside Ganlu Hall.

When Mu Qiu stepped into the door of Ganlu Palace, she was grabbed by two maids and forced her to kneel on the ground.

Mu Qiu wanted to break free, but his strength was insufficient.

She raised her head, looked at the queen mother who was sitting not far away, and asked: "Queen mother, I don't know what crime my concubine has committed. The queen mother wants to treat my concubine like this."

Hearing this, the queen mother curled her lips and smiled.

Then, she said: "Concubine Xuan, don't be nervous, Aijia just wants the imperial doctor to show you to see if you are injured, as long as you cooperate with the imperial doctor to diagnose your pulse, Aijia won't do anything to you."
