As if he saw a delicate and pretty smile in front of him, Min Ning couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth with a bit of impatience.

Kang Fushou, who was standing by, saw Min Ning was happy and also acted delighted.

"That's great. When Concubine Zhao finds out, she will definitely be happy. I am really happy to see that Your Majesty can reconcile with Concubine Zhao."

This Imperial Concubine Zhao was truly amazing. Imperial Concubine Quan had been in the palace for so long and had given birth to His Majesty's only prince. But it was unexpected that Imperial Concubine Zhao, who was childless at such a young age, was made an Imperial Concubine overnight.

Min Ning couldn't help but take out a pair of earrings from his arms. They were made specially for Xianxian by him. However, Xianxian didn't take the earrings with her when she left Luanyue Palace.

Perhaps because the sight of the objects reminded him of the person, Min Ning kept the pair of earrings in his arms every day, just so that he could see them every day.

Min Ning said with joy, "I will personally put this pair of earrings back on her earlobes."

"Her Majesty will be very happy to see Your Majesty coming to pick her up, and I will do my best to please you."

Along the way, Kang Fushou kept saying auspicious words, which made Min Ning very happy. In the end, Min Ning was rewarded with many good things.

Originally, Min Ning asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare imperial concubine's clothing during this period, and thought it was prepared for Imperial Concubine Quan, but he never expected that it was actually for Imperial Concubine Zhao.

As they got closer and closer to the cold palace, Min Ning suddenly felt a tightness in his heart and had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, shouts were heard not far away.

"Oh no, there's a fire. Come quickly, someone, there's a fire in the cold palace."

"Ah, someone come quickly, put out the fire!"

The palace maids and eunuchs were in chaos. They saw the cold palace not far away being engulfed in fire. It seemed that the fire had been going on for a while and the cold palace could no longer be seen in its original appearance.

Kang Fushou panicked and ran forward to grab a young eunuch. The eunuch turned around and saw Min Ning with an ugly face, and immediately knelt on the ground and trembled.

"This slave is here to see the Emperor."

"what happened?"

"The cold palace suddenly caught fire at night, but due to its remote location, no one noticed it for a while."

Min Ning quickly got off the sedan chair and asked anxiously, "Where is Concubine Zhao?"

The eunuch was obviously confused, and Kang Fushou was anxiously jumping up and down.

"Ask what's happening with the people inside."

The young eunuch lowered his head and said fearfully, "No one, I don't know anything."

At this moment, Min Ning felt his vision go dark and his hands and feet go weak. Kang Fushou quickly supported him and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Concubine Zhao may have escaped. I will send someone to look for her. She may still be sitting somewhere waiting for you."

Min Ning calmed down and nodded, urging him anxiously, "Go find it, go find it for me quickly."

When Min Ning arrived outside the cold palace, he saw that the beams and pillars inside were burned beyond recognition. Even though the palace maids and eunuchs were carrying wooden buckets to fetch water to put out the fire, it was obviously of no use as the fire was too big.

At this time, the eunuchs who went to look for people came back, and they all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

There was nothing Kang Fushou didn't understand. Naturally, no one escaped. With the fire in the cold palace, Concubine Zhao and her personal maids must have been burned to ashes.

But Kang Fushou still asked, "How is it? Where is Concubine Zhao?"

The eunuchs knelt on the ground and cried.

"Your Majesty, the Queen did not escape... The Queen..."

Min Ning seemed to have his soul sucked out of him. He covered his chest and gasped. Kang Fushou went forward to help him, but he was pushed away.

He murmured softly, "No, it won't happen. Yi'er is still waiting for me to pick her up. I haven't reconciled with her yet. How could it be possible..."

"I don't believe it, I really have to go find it myself!"

At this moment Min Ning collapsed and ran towards the cold palace regardless of everything. Kang Fushou quickly grabbed his legs.

"Your Majesty, this is too severe. If you go in, it will damage the dragon's body."

The palace maids and eunuchs nearby knelt on the ground and tried to dissuade him, but Kang Fushou, relying on his stout body, held Min Ning's legs tightly and refused to let go.

If Min Ning was really allowed in, none of these palace maids and eunuchs would survive.

Because he was too excited, Min Ning's eyes went dark and he passed out. Kang Fushou quickly asked someone to help Min Ning up and summon the imperial physician.

The next day, Min Ning woke up from his bed, and the first thing he did was to ask if Concubine Zhao was well.

But he learned that the fire in the cold palace had been put out and two bodies were found inside, with their hair and clothes burnt.

The bodies were so dark that their faces could not be seen clearly, but based on their body shapes, they could be Concubine Zhao and Zhenzhu.

Min Ning couldn't bear the blow and fainted again. He remained unconscious for several days.

Min Yucheng came to visit him several times, and Concubine Quan always served him.

Seeing Min Ning's absent-minded appearance, Concubine Quan felt bitter in her mouth. After serving Min Ning to rest, she asked the nanny to take her to the side hall.

Concubine Quan sat down and moved her arms, and the little palace maid beside her came forward to rub her shoulders.

"I am so exhausted."

Min Yucheng looked at Concubine Quan and asked, "Isn't father awake yet?"

Concubine Quan picked up the chicken soup and nodded, "The imperial physician said that your father was too sad. Perhaps he hasn't recovered from the death of the imperial concubine. It's really ridiculous. I have been in the palace for so many years, but I can't compare to the imperial concubine's few months."

Min Ning posthumously conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Consort Zhao, and held the funeral ceremony with that of an empress, with everything to be managed by Consort Quan.

Sometimes Concubine Quan would feel that it was unfair, as she had clearly saved Min Ning's life and had accompanied him all the way.

She had managed his harem in perfect order over the years, but it was still not as good as a dead person.

Min Yucheng said sarcastically, "It's ridiculous that people only know how to cherish things after they die."

If Min Yucheng had not been helping Min Ning to investigate the Queen Mother outside the palace, Min Ning would never have found evidence of the Queen Mother framing Xianxian so quickly.

Concubine Quan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking. "If I hadn't returned to the palace, I'm afraid..."

The following words are self-evident. At that time, Min Ning did dote on Concubine Quan, who had been lost and regained, otherwise she would not have given birth to Min Yucheng so early in the second year after she returned to the palace.

But the emperor's grace is like flowing water, who could have thought that His Majesty is such a lovesick man?

If Concubine Quan kept the good life and never returned to the palace, I'm afraid that the white moonlight in Min Ning's heart would be Concubine Quan who led away his enemies.

The palace fell into deathly silence, because Min Ning wanted all the concubines to mourn and keep vigil for the Imperial Noble Consort.

Even pregnant Concubine Jing and Concubine Lan could not escape. Only Xilinchun, who was imprisoned on a circle, managed to escape.

"died?"

Xilinchun was a little surprised to hear the news, but then a feeling of joy surged in his heart.

An Yixue, who was being bullied, just stood there in a daze. She was kicked in the stomach accidentally and vomited blood.

How can it be?

Yi Er...
