At this time, in the palace, because an assassin appeared in the palace, the people attending the banquet today were all ladies from aristocratic families, so the palace banquet had been canceled long ago.
Everyone was arranged to leave the palace. The fire in Bihua Palace was too great. The prince organized the imperial army to put out the fire. When he rescued Gu Zhaoyi, who was assassinated by an assassin, she was already dead and changed beyond recognition.
All the assassins in the West Palace were caught. No one knew that this was what the Crown Prince and Nangong Yuanyi had discussed long ago. They would use the Queen Mother to assassinate Nangong Yuanyi and remove all the spies installed by other countries in the Northern Palace.
Searching the entire palace, unexpectedly Qingdai escaped in the end.
In the Chaohua Palace, Zhou Guochang and the princess stayed. The emperor gave them the name to protect the safety of the prince and princess.
The Queen Mother was also waiting anxiously in the Chaohua Palace, but when Nanny Gui and An Xiyue didn't come back, the Queen Mother ordered Nanny Ren to go out and look for them.
The Queen Mother was sitting on a soft chair, feeling her eyelids twitching and feeling nervous. She was dressed in a graceful and luxurious dress that was almost turned into salt by the Queen Mother.
Nangong Nan saw the Queen Mother and said with concern: "The Queen Mother is left in the Chaohua Palace so late. An assassin appears in the palace. I have to keep the Queen Mother to protect her. Rui'er has already led the Royal Forest Army to capture the assassin. Queen Mother, please relax."
Concubine Su did not expect that so many assassins would show up on the night she held a palace banquet, and even burnt Concubine Qing's Bihua Palace. It must have been that the assassins escaped to Bihua Palace when the Royal Guards were on their way to capture the assassins, and Bihua Palace suffered this disaster. .
Concubine Su's face was full of worry, but she was happy in her heart. It would be great if the assassin could take care of Concubine Qing's vixen.
Even if there is no solution, if the assassin enters the palace of the harem concubine in the middle of the night, he may not survive.
The queen and her palace attendants hurriedly walked in: "I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother."
When everyone saw the queen coming, they also stood up and saluted the queen.
"The queen is exempt from the ceremony. It is not safe in the palace now. The queen is not frightened." Nangong Nan greeted the queen to her seat and said with concern.
The queen took advantage of the situation and softened for a moment, then said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. When Eunuch Fu sent people over, there were imperial guards protecting him all the way. Everything in Kunyu Palace was safe. When I came over, I saw Bihua Palace on fire. I heard it was an assassin." He escaped into Bihua Palace, I wonder what happened to Concubine Qing’s sister?”
The queen said and leaned into the emperor's arms in fear.
Seeing this, Concubine Su felt uncomfortable, but she didn't show too many emotions.
The Queen Mother also became suspicious. The assassin was arranged to assassinate Nangong Yuanyi in the West Palace. How did he end up in Bihua Palace? Where did Aunt Gui and An Xiyue go? Aunt Ren didn't come back after she left. It was really annoying. However, the Queen Mother remained calm and composed, her face was full of kindness, and she sat steadily without any further concern.
After a while, the prince finally extinguished the flames and came in with Commander Gao.
The prince bowed to everyone present, and then glanced at the queen mother and the emperor with a heavy expression: "Father, the Qing Concubine is gone. The assassin not only killed the Qing Concubine, but also set fire to the Bihua Palace. Fortunately, the palace lady Dong My son was saved in time, but he just fainted, and the imperial doctor is currently treating him."
The emperor's eyes turned red, but he didn't show too much sadness. His beloved concubine died. "The Ministry of Rites arranged for Concubine Qing to be buried in a grand ceremony."
Concubine Su said: "The palace is heavily guarded, how could an assassin appear? Rui'er, have you caught the assassin?"
