Chapter 223 Palace Fire

The night in June is not strong, and the crescent moon is like a scimitar, hanging high on the night sky, dotted with stars.

The summer wind slept, and two lanterns came slowly from the palace road paved with bluestone.

Although Concubine Yang Shu didn't take power, her status was high, so there were not many classes outside the door? The four classes were lined up. When someone came, someone immediately came up and asked, "What are you doing?"

When two lanterns approached, there were two low-level eunuchs holding lanterns, each holding a food box. After hearing the inquiry, he quickly replied: "I am waiting for the imperial kitchen. It's cold at night. The official family asked the young man to give me a bowl of ginseng soup to nourish the little lady."

"Come here!" Ban Zhi called the eunuch, looked at the other party, and said, "Why are you two little eunuchs? You are not the ones from Yan Shiliang, the middle-level official?"

One of the two little eunuchs walked out and looked carefully. He was still a small official, wearing the costume of the little yellow gate. In the Han Dynasty, Xiaohuangmen was a very high-ranking eunuch with a salary of 600 stones. However, he was just a small official in the Song Dynasty. It is recorded in "Song History? Officials": "All eunuchs were called Xiaohuangmen."

Although the official position is not high, Ban Zhi couldn't help but ease his tone. "I wonder what this middle-level official is called?"

Xiao Huangmen said: "I dare not promote it."

After a pause, Xiaohuangmen continued: "Yan Zhongguan wants to serve the officials today, so he sent us here! If the squad thinks there is any problem, then search it!"

Ban Zhi thought about it, but still didn't dare to search his body. He just checked the food box on a routine basis and tried the ginseng soup with silver needles. But everything was fine.

When I arrived at Baosheng Palace, Xiaohuangmen glanced at the Banzhimen behind him with disdain, opened the food box openly, revealing the ginseng soup inside. He stretched out his fingers and looked carefully, and found that there was actually a gray powder between his nails. It was already covered by the night color, and the powder was like night color, so it was naturally not easy for people to notice.

Although the powder is small, the small yellow door handles the powder like the ginseng soup. It looks relaxed, and I think the medicinal properties are definitely not weak.

Although he was so angry, when he arrived in the palace, the little yellow gate still couldn't help but become nervous, fearing that his companions would not let him enter. He handed the lantern in his hand to the other party, gave him a few words of advice, and then led him to the palace maid and went inside.

"Who?" As if he heard footsteps, a female voice came from the room, full of kindness.

"Empress, it was the official who sent someone to deliver ginseng soup!" the palace maid replied.

Concubine Yang was stunned and said in the room: "The official family is filial, so let's put the ginseng soup outside. I will come out to eat the soup later!"

The little Huangmen was very anxious, no wonder there was any offense, and he interrupted: "Little Empress, the official specifically reminded me that I need to see the little Empress eat it before I can go back and hand in the office!"

Concubine Yang didn't think much and smiled, "I am not a three-year-old child, can I need to slap this way?"

Some sweat oozed out from the forehead of Xiaohuangmen, and gritted his teeth and said, "I offended the little lady. I can only listen to the words of the official family. Please understand the filial piety of the official family!"

When Yang Shufei heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling a little unhappy. She just thought about Song Renzong's filial piety, and the eunuchs and palace maids were all outsiders, so it would be difficult to reveal the conflict with Song Renzong in front of them. However, her voice became colder. "Since the official family has such an order, come in!"

Xiao Huangmen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. While the palace maid was going to open the door, he quickly raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

I saw Yang Shufei wearing a red short-sleeved robe skirt with a golden silk brocade wrapped around her waist. She sat upright on a round stool made of golden silk nanmu. On the side was a three-legged black round table, and a round gauze fan was placed on the table in time. She was holding needles and thread in her hands, as if she was sewing a pair of shoes. I wonder if it was for the official family or the King of Changsha?

"I have seen the little lady, I wish her a thousand years old!" Xiaohuangmen bowed respectfully.

Concubine Yang slowly put the sewn shoes and needlework and said, "You ginseng soup? Take it. I will finish my meal and do things!"

When Xiaohuangmen heard this, he immediately looked nervous and trepidated, but he felt very happy. He quickly brought the ginseng soup. At the same time, he also looked sad and said, "Little Empress, I just obey the instructions. I hope the little empress will forgive me!"

Concubine Yang Shu looked at Xiaohuangmen coldly and said, "Talk!"

Xiaohuangmen immediately stopped talking and dared not make any more excuses.

Concubine Yang brought the ginseng soup and drank it all in one sip. The soup bowl fell back into the food box with a cold eyes: "Can you leave?"

The little yellow gate hurriedly retreated: "The little one takes a leave! The little one takes a leave!"

I was still a little trouble when I came in, but it was easy to go out. I just left Baosheng Palace and walked a corner. I didn’t expect a sudden sound. The guilty little yellow door was so scared that the food box in my hand fell to the ground.

The speaker was a little annoyed and said, "What's the point of being so scary! I ask you, how is the matter?"

The little yellow gate turned his head and looked over, and saw clearly the person coming with the light emitted by the lantern. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Please rest assured that Yan Duzhi, everything is done!"

"Take it seriously?" This person was Yan Wenying, but in order to cover up his eyes, he did not wear his official robe, but was wearing a linen cloth dress that was ordinary mates. Without looking carefully, no one would have thought that this linen cloth dress was Yan Wenying, who was less than one person in the palace.

The little yellow gate was determined to seek credit and said happily, "Of course, the little one watched the little lady eat ginseng soup with her own eyes." As she said that, the little yellow gate opened the food box and pointed to the soup bowl inside and said, "Look, although not a drop is left, there are only some residue left!"

Yan Wenying was immediately happy when he heard this, and then a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and a hypocritical smile appeared: "Come here with me and talk about the situation inside."

Xiaohuangmen did not notice it, so he happily came down and followed with his companion. After walking about two hundred steps, Yan Wenying walked in when he saw a desolate yard. Although Xiaohuangmen did not like the desolate yard, he knew that this place was easy to talk about secret matters, so he followed.

Unexpectedly, the little yellow door just passed the half-closed wooden door and felt a tingling pain in the waist behind him. He turned his head to look over and saw a head wrapped in a black turban and a black turban, but only showed a pair of cold eyes as cold as ice. When he lowered his head slightly, he saw a piece of cold blade.

Xiaohuangmen turned around and saw Yan Wenying with a gloomy face standing in the middle of the yard, an unknown big tree with shadow covering half of Yan Wenying's body, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

Xiaohuangmen understood everything, and the screams from the side of the companion did not attract the attention of Xiaohuangmen. "Haha! So, it turns out that this is... our family should... should have understood it long ago! I didn't expect... I thought... Uh!"

However, Yan Wenying saw that the little yellow gate was not dead yet, and he was dissatisfied and made a gesture to the killer. The killer turned his blade and smashed the internal organs of the little yellow gate. The words of the little yellow gate, which were full of unwillingness, finally disappeared in the cool night wind with his vitality.

Suddenly, a cry sounded in the distance. Without Yan Wenying's questioning, a eunuch ran in outside and lowered his head to report to Yan Wenying: "Dad, news came from Baosheng Palace that the little lady had an acute illness and had a colic. She heard it as if she was heartbroken! She vomited and twitched."

Yan Wenying breathed a little relieved when he heard this, and chose to say with a stern face: "Why are you still standing there? If you don't go to investigate immediately, the little lady must have been poisoned. Our family heard that Xu Chengen gave the little lady a batch of ham a few days ago. I think that if you can't get out of touch with him, you can catch him first!"

The eunuch shouted and ran out immediately.

The killer stepped forward and asked coldly: "Master, these corpses?"

Yan Wenying looked at the two corpses lying on the ground in disgust, then turned his head and waved his hand, "Fill in that dry well. These days, there are not many corpses in the well in the palace?"

When he left outside, he saw a sedan chair not far from the yard. After Yan Wenying went in, he immediately changed his clothes inside and waved to a little eunuch next to the sedan chair.

The little eunuch immediately caught up, lowered his head and asked, "I don't know what instructions do you have?"

Yan Wenying pointed to the abandoned small courtyard and said, "There is a dry well inside. Please fill it so that no one will make any mistakes and hurt lives!"

The little eunuch complained in his heart that in the abandoned small courtyard, who would go inside except snakes, insects, rats and ants? However, since Yan Wen was instructed, the little eunuch complained in his heart, but he did not dare to say that the first word was ignorant, so he promised it immediately.

Suddenly, a fire light rose in the southeast corner.

The little eunuch said in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"I think it's because of the outrage!" Yan Wenying murmured with a strange smile on his face.

The little eunuch was surprised. He was out of trouble, so why did Yan Du know how to laugh? But in the blink of an eye, his expression disappeared. The little eunuch murmured in his heart: Could it be that I was wrong?

Yan Wenying on the other end had already ordered: "Get up the sedan chair! I think someone has sent to spread our family!"

Several strong eunuchs Ying Nuo said, and quickly carried the sedan chair and ran to Yan Wenying to Yanfu Palace.

Summer is when the weather is dry and the flames are very large. Zhao Qian also saw it in the Changsha Palace. Upon climbing the high building, you can see the flames that have burned a little red in the sky.

Before he could change his clothes, Zhao Qin had already shouted: "The palace is probably changing! Wang Gui, Zhao Yingwu, please click on the guards quickly and follow me to the palace!"

While talking, Zhao Feng had already taken a spear and didn't even have time to saddle Que Yue's black horse. He just clamped his legs on the slippery horse's back and ran towards the palace.

On the street, there were chaos and no one dared to accuse Zhao Jin who was heading towards the palace. Everyone was worried about the fire in the palace.

This night is destined to be a night for countless people to suffer from insomnia. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
