Jiang Xinyue guessed well. The queen had already invited people into Yikun Palace. The reason was that the fifth prince had not seen his father for a long time and missed him very much.
Wang Dequan had no choice but to remind the emperor: "Your Majesty, today is fifteen."
On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, I have to stay overnight in Yikun Palace.
Emperor Xuanwu frowned, feeling extremely reluctant to go to the Queen.
The fifth prince was only a little over a year old, and she had raised him to be well-behaved and overly sensible, leaving him, his father, with no chance of enjoying family happiness.
Unlike their little dumplings, who are very good-natured and will cry at the top of their lungs when they are unhappy, causing everyone to be in a hurry.
He can also poop, and Yue'er says that he poops on his father as a gift, saying that his treasury will be very rich this year.
What is Yue'er doing now?
Are you waiting for him?
However, he had asked Tang Shiliang to go to Hexi Palace to explain the situation. It was not because he wanted to break the contract, but because of the palace rules. Even if he did not care about the queen's face, he could not ignore the fifth prince's face.
The Queen said that recently, she always felt that the fifth prince looked more and more like Prince Duanhui, who died young, who was his and the Queen's first child, and the child he loved very much but could not keep.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
The queen called out several times before Emperor Xuanwu responded: "Huh?"
"Your Majesty, look, the fifth prince can walk."
Fenxun originally hugged the fifth prince, but the fifth prince had sharp eyes and saw the emperor and empress from a distance.
Although he was still young and often saw the emperor, he knew in his memory that his father looked like this, so he struggled down from Fenxun's arms and walked toward the two of them step by step, with an excited smile on his face. , babbling.
"Mother... mother... father... father..."
He called his father and mother incoherently, but because he could not form coherent words, he could only call out repeated words.
But this can be considered as speaking very quickly.
Emperor Xuanwu now looks at all of his children as cute, and of course, the sixth prince is the cutest. It was because of the Sixth Prince that he found the other princes lovable.
"Sheng'er, come to Father."
"Hey! Yeah..."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Hexi Palace...the nanny of Hexi Palace was burned to death."
Tang Shiliang shouted while running: "Hexi Palace is in chaos. I heard screams inside, but the palace door was closed. I saw flames shooting into the sky and screams..."
"Clang!"
Before he could finish his confused words, Emperor Xuanwu rushed out first. As soon as the fifth prince walked in front of the emperor and was about to throw himself into his arms, he fell flat on his face and fell to the ground.
"Sheng'er!"
"Fifth Prince!"
The queen and numerous exclamations failed to get the emperor to look back even once.
Are Concubine Zhenxian and the Sixth Prince the only ones in this palace worthy of his panic and fear?
"Empress..."
They all felt distressed and helped up the crying fifth prince, and looked at the queen who was looking at the entrance of Yikun Palace: "The fifth prince's palm is bleeding after falling."
The queen closed her eyes. For the first time, when something happened to her concubine, she did not rush over immediately. Instead, she picked up the fifth prince and blew on his palm carefully: "Doctor Xuan is here to clean the fifth prince's wound."
"Mother Xian, this is..."
"Yue'er!"
"Yue'er, open the door! Are you okay? Is Xiaotuanzi okay?"
When Dr. Yan heard the emperor's voice, he stopped and prepared to wait for the emperor to come in and report together.
"What's this?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xinyue seemed not to have heard and continued to ask: "What's on these clothes?"
Imperial Physician Yan could only ignore the emperor's shouts outside the door as much as possible, and continued: "It is phosphorus powder, and it is white phosphorus powder that is most likely to spontaneously ignite among phosphorus powders. Even without fire, when the temperature in the air reaches a certain heat, it will It can also burn on its own. Moreover, the clothes were also sprinkled with cotton wool. Weichen just dissolved it a little with water and found that the cotton wool had been soaked in flammable liquid. That's why Cheng Nanny was erupted in an instant. Devoured by fire.”
When she leaned over to touch her clothes, all the cotton wool in the tray stuck to her hands and clothes.
Those cotton strands were almost invisible to the naked eye, but each one had been soaked for a long time. Doctor Yan pointed at the cup of yellowed hot water and said: "My Lady, these cotton strands should have been soaked for more than a month. They were soaked just before the Sixth Prince. It was prepared when he was born, plus the white phosphorus powder, if the Sixth Prince comes into contact with it, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Nanny Cheng is an adult, so when the fire started, it took so long that it was not finished. Fortunately, Xiaoxuanzi and the others poured seven or eight buckets of water over it together, otherwise Nanny Cheng would burn the fire if they poured it on one bucket after another. Even if it turns to ashes, the fire will not be extinguished.
And as small as the Sixth Prince, he would be reduced to ashes almost instantly.
This method can be said to be extremely sinister.
Imperial Physician Yan has been an imperial physician in the palace for decades, and has never seen concubines fighting with each other in such a cruel and vicious way.
Not even a whole body was left.
Emperor Xuanwu screamed outside Hexi Palace for a long time, but no one paid attention to him. Thinking of Tang Shiliang's words about the fire inside and the palace door being closed, he became extremely panicked: "Wang Dequan, go find someone to smash this door for me." ”
A little palace maid hid behind the corner and kept looking at Hexi Palace. After seeing the screams and the fire inside, she originally wanted to go back and recover.
But the palace attendants from Hexi Palace rushed out, shouting to ask for Dr. Yan. She was also afraid that the Sixth Prince was still alive, and she had no confidence in going back to recover.
If something goes wrong, what the master did will be exposed.
"You're the one who's the one who's going to catch you."
The two guards behind Jiang Chuan grabbed the little palace maid by her collar and lifted her up: "Take her back and hand her over to Concubine Zhenxian."
Xiao Xuanzi quietly led people around to the back door of Hexi Palace and caught two young eunuchs who wanted to quietly deliver news from inside the palace.
The person who received the news was also caught.
Regardless of whether it was related to this matter or not, they didn't care and threw it all in front of the Concubine Xian.
At the gate, Emperor Xuanwu had already called for his guards and was about to force the door open. However, the door was pushed open from the inside. Jiang Xinyue, who was crying so hard, threw herself out and fell to the ground. The emperor quickly reached out to catch him. She: "Yue'er, you...you..."
The smell of some kind of burnt meat did not dissipate. Nanny Cheng’s burnt body lay in the courtyard. Jiang Xinyue shivered in his arms: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, can you please let me take Xiaotuanzi out of the palace? I beg you, I have never asked for glory and wealth in this life, and to be able to get the emperor's love, I have no regrets in this life, I can die, but Xiaotuanzi is innocent, why...why would someone be like this? Are you so vicious that you have to put him to death?"
She cried bitterly: "Mr. Yan said that those people who talked about phosphorus powder and cotton soaked in flammable liquid wanted my son to be burned to ashes!"
