I want to ruin the country

Many concubines who have tasted the sweetness of love between men and women cannot get the nourishment of men for a long time, and they are inevitably lonely in their rooms. In addition to solving the problem themselves, they will also ask the palace maids or eunuchs they are interested in to relieve their worries.

These are not secrets, everyone knows about them, and most emperors know about them, but they turn a blind eye to them.

What you have is good, but you can't use it. What's wrong with others coming up with their own solutions? As long as the man is not cheating on her, she can just tolerate it!

"Go away, go out!"

Yining was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly awakened by a chaotic shouting outside.

"Take water?"

He immediately realized, oh no, there was a fire!

Water and fire are merciless. They don’t care whether you are the emperor or the empress. They will burn you if they have to.

Yining jumped up, put on her underwear quickly and ran out.

"Where's the flood?"

A little eunuch stammered a report,

"Your Majesty, it seems to be where the concubines live!"

Yining said loudly,

"Hurry over and put out the fire!"

The Iraqi defense also came over,

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, you can't go out!"

"Bullshit, get out of here!"

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, the Iraqi defense had no choice but to shout,

"Your Majesty, there are plenty of people to put out the fire... Hey... Hey, you need to put on your clothes!"

Yining thought about it and it made sense. He was some distance away from the fire. Since he was alarmed, other people in the palace must have known about it as well.

The "Water Dragon Team" in the palace conducts drills regularly and is well-trained. They have probably already started putting out the fire.

It doesn't matter whether I go early or late. I went back to put on my clothes and then rushed to the fire.

The fire was in a courtyard in the corner of the West Six Palaces, which should be where some of the old emperor's concubines lived.

When we arrived at the place, we saw that the fire was quite big. The flames shot up very high. Three houses were engulfed in flames. Everyone was busy trying to put out the fire.

Looking at the situation, even if there were people in the house, we couldn't rush in to rescue them. The houses are made of wood, and with such a big fire, a falling purlin could kill someone!

Yining would never do such a stupid thing as to sacrifice another person's life in order to save one person's life.

There is no distinction between high and low in life, all are equal!

Yining instinctively wanted to rush over to put out the fire, but Yifang Guo stopped him firmly!

Yining thought about it and decided to give up. This was not the future. With his current status, even if the entire palace was burned down, Yifang Defense would not let him take the risk.

He said to the eunuchs around him, "Go put out the fire, why are you hanging around me?"

Iraq's defense is not working.

"Your Majesty, we don't know how this fire started. I'm afraid someone will take advantage of the chaos to harm Your Majesty. There are many people fighting the fire, but Your Majesty's safety is the most important!"

Yining understood that Yi Fangfang was right. Even though he didn't pay much attention to his own safety, in the hearts of Yi Fangfang and others, the emperor's safety was above everything else!

Even if the entire city of Beijing were burned down, they would not let the emperor take the risk!

"Forget it, is there anyone inside?"

A young eunuch found a palace maid and pulled him over. She was frightened.

"Your Majesty, it seems Consort Lan... Consort Lan didn't make it out!"

The little palace maid's clothes were torn, her hair was disheveled, and her face was smoked like a ghost. She was a little panicked, because the fire was in the house of Concubine Lan, whom she served.

"go"

Yining didn't blame her because she didn't know what was going on!

He waved his hand and let the maid go.

Among the crowd of people fighting the fire, Yining suddenly found a man who was running back and forth with a bucket of water in his hand, very enthusiastic.

After a closer look, it turned out to be the person who drank with me tonight. This guy is working hard to put out the fire!

Wasn’t the palace gate closed? How did he get in?

"Iraqi National Defense, ask the people outside the palace tomorrow how they got in!"

"Whoo!"

There is no wind today, which is very helpful for firefighting.

The two water dragon teams arrived just in time. The large vats filled with clean water prepared in the palace played a big role. With the added bonus of strength in numbers, the fire was under control after more than half an hour!

With everyone working together, after about another hour, the fire was completely put out, with only some embers still smoking.

Inside and outside the yard, there were lanterns and torches everywhere, making the yard as bright as day.

After it was done, everyone saw that the emperor was there and came to pay their respects.

The man who drank with Yining in the evening also saw Yining. He thought to himself that the little eunuch had not lied to him. The emperor really looked like him!

No, it’s him who looks a lot like the Emperor!

Concubine Lan was carried out, but after examining her, the imperial physician said that she did not look like she had been burned to death.

If he was not burned to death, there are many possibilities, Yining said,

"Notify the Ministry of Justice and have them send a coroner to perform an autopsy!"

The fire broke out in the middle of the night, and the Empress Dowager was alarmed and sent someone to inquire about the situation.

Yining went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager and told her about the situation here.

The Queen Mother said,

"She also smokes opium. She has had a hard time quitting these days. She keeps saying she wants to die. It would be better if she died, so she wouldn't have to suffer in this life.

"Emperor, if you encounter such a situation in the future, don't rush in. One more person to put out the fire is no more, and one less person to put out the fire is no less. Our Daqing Kingdom cannot survive without you. Do you hear me?"

"I understand, please don't worry, I won't do it again."

"Okay, I'm fine, you can go back and rest too!"

Yining said goodbye and returned to the palace. She looked at the watch and it was already four o'clock. She could still sleep for more than two hours, so she fell asleep again.

I slept until seven o'clock, got up to wash, and the coroner's autopsy results came out. Concubine Lan died by hanging!

A few days ago, Lady Lan's opium and pipe were taken away, and she quit smoking for two days, but she couldn't stand the torture and got some opium from somewhere and started smoking again.

Two days ago, he ran out of opium and started feeling sick again.

On several occasions, he said he could not bear it anymore and wanted to follow the late emperor.

No one took it seriously, but unexpectedly, he hanged himself tonight.

Hanging is not surprising, but why is there a fire?

When Yining heard this, he was sure that there must be a reason!

Tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs,

"Investigate for me, and make sure to find out what's going on!"

"Your Majesty, we've already investigated. Concubine Lan ran out of opium and couldn't stand it, so she hanged herself!"

Yining asked,

"Who gave her the opium before?"

"It was sold by Lingpin!"

Yining asked,

"Where did she get the opium?"

"It's from the past, she didn't turn it in!"

Yining slapped the armrest of the chair in anger.

"hateful!"

"The Imperial Clan Court asks the Emperor how to deal with this matter?"

Yining said angrily,

"Just stay in the circle and don't starve to death!"

Yining had no sympathy for people who smoked opium. What was even more hateful was that she still kept the opium and refused to hand it over despite her repeated warnings!

Moreover, he sold her to Concubine Lan, causing her to fail in quitting smoking and commit suicide, which is even more unforgivable!
