After handing Zhou Shuhe and the others brought out to the imperial physician, and coming to the conclusion that there was no serious problem, Qi Yu slowly calmed down and began to think about today's matter.

The most urgent task is to deal with the wound first, and then report to the emperor to explain the reason why he left the palace early.

There is a rule in the palace that imperial physicians are not allowed to diagnose and treat slaves, but after more than a hundred years in Daning, many rules have long been reduced to empty talk, but Qi Yu has established a humble image for himself. I was used to being cautious, and I didn't want to be honest about such trivial matters, so I asked the eunuch who was proficient in medicine to mess with it casually.

Tan Xiang: "..."

When Qi saw him not moving for a long time, he was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Tan Xiang: "It's like this Qi Bingbi, the servants do have certain accomplishments in veterinary medicine, but they lack some confidence when it comes to treating people. If you must come, the servants can only bandage you according to the method of treating animals. Ha."

Qi Yu hummed impatiently, and stretched out his arm: "It's up to you, but don't be too thick, I have to meet Sheng Sheng later, don't lose your manners."

Tan Xiang had no choice but to ask the imperial doctor for gauze, Jinchuang medicine and burn ointment, and used his skilled veterinary skills to wrap it up for him, and carefully instructed: "Qi Bingbi, it's best to go out of the palace and find a serious doctor when you are free." Let me do it again for you, the slave girl's move is really... a bit meaningless."

Qi Yu nodded indiscriminately, and hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation against the drizzle with a few young eunuchs who hadn't died.

The emperor is in a good mood today. A timely spring rain relieved the spring drought in Gyeonggi. If there are no serious problems, this year will be another bumper year.

When Qi Yu entered the palace, he was listening to the sound of the rain, imitating the running script of Wang Yilang, a calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Normally at this time, Qi Yu would never disturb his leisure time, but today was different. He adjusted his panicked and painful expression, He knelt down on the ground and buried his head deeply.

"Slaves deserve death."

The emperor raised his brows and put down his pen. The eunuch standing beside him was Yuan Xian, Qi Yu's roommate.

"What's the matter?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Just now I was still asking what the queen sent you to do, she gave a vague answer, only saying that the conclusion is not yet determined, and I don't want to disturb my mood. Now you report it and say Well, what's the matter?"

Qi Yu quickly went through today's events in his mind again.

Because of the kindness of the abolished prince and the relationship with his master Wan Ping, since he entered the palace, he has always been regarded as half of the people in Kunren Palace, and he has maintained a friendly attitude with the Queen's Palace that is neither far nor close.

After he was promoted to Bingbi, he even opened up the relationship between the empress and the supervisor of ceremonies as a bridge. After concubine Jia—no, after the empress pretended to accompany King Ning to plead with the emperor, he has now been demoted It's a concubine -- she has made a lot of "contributions" to this matter.

At the same time, the queen gave him a special task.

If necessary, protect Zhou's safety.

Qi Yu could easily guess the reason why the queen did this. Although she was not an old person in the Qian mansion and had never met Princess Xianbai, as a noble daughter in Beijing, she had heard more or less the absurdity of the 23rd prince. Someone in front of the palace must have taught these secrets of the hidden residence.After Zhou Shuhe entered the palace, she continued to be favored and favored, and the empress put her mind on her, and it was only natural that she wanted to use her hand to suppress the concubine Jia.

When he fell asleep, someone handed him a pillow. Since the queen had said something beforehand, he would go to Zhou Shuhe Palace once in a while.

And returning to the palace early this time is also the order given to him by the queen——

"A few days ago, Concubine Rou sent people to collect some sulfur, nitrate and toner, saying that she was going to set off fireworks to commemorate the birthday of the heavenly father. The emperor has always condoned her beliefs, but I still kept my eyes open and sent people to watch on."

"I just came to report from the palace. The concubine Rou, who has been claiming to be sick all the year round, suddenly went out and was heading towards Yihe Palace. I feel uneasy, but there are no useful people around me right now. Go back to the palace and have a look." , It’s best if nothing happens, if something happens, remember your promise to me.”

"Let's just leave it alone, Yuancai people must not make mistakes."

There are some things that the queen only knows a little about, but Qi Yu happens to be able to get a glimpse of the whole picture.

For example, Concubine Rou's self-destructive desire, which is almost uncontrollable, the three corpses Yan Chong Dan Liu Jieyu put in the dark room of Yihe Palace, the small kitchen of Yihe Palace separated from the dark room by a wall, and today's small gathering in the small kitchen Zhou Shuhe and the other three.

These things all came together.

Qi Yu's face turned pale, and his normally stable expression collapsed, but he didn't bother to think about whether he had lost his composure, and before he could even complete the etiquette, he got up in a hurry, got up, got on his horse and ran back to the palace.

Now I have this leisure.

Qi Yu secretly pondered the empress' expression at that time, while kneeling straight on the ground, answering the emperor's question.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the concubine Rou said she was sick, and the empress was worried, so she sent her servants to take Aunt Chuqing back to the palace to have a look, but who would have thought that concubine Rou went to Yihe Palace, and another fire broke out..."

He paused, bent down, lowered his head, and knocked his head to the ground: "My concubine Rou and Xiaocai were caught in the fire, and they are gone now. The slaves deserve death, and I beg your majesty to come down."

Before Roupin turned around and stepped into the sea of ​​flames, Qi Yu had already told Qi Yu about everything today. He was not surprised by Roupin's decision, and he didn't feel any resentment towards Chen Xiaoxiao's actions.

There are priorities, he has to bring Zhou Shuhe out first.

The only thing that was unexpected was that Chen Xiaoxiao took the poison herself, and she was already dead when she was discovered—even though Qi Yuben had no intention of saving this person who wanted to murder Zhou Shuhe and knew a lot of inside information that he shouldn't know She is a human being, but Qi Yu did not expect her to act like this.

Of course, he didn't care.

If Zhou Shuhe was still awake, she might understand what Chen Xiaoxiao meant. She wanted to save Chen Qingming, but she was also willing to pay for Zhou Shuhe's life. Just like many people Zhou Shuhe met in his previous life, she was not good to her, but not bad enough thorough.

However, it was Qi Yu who saw Chen Xiaoxiao at this time, and Qi Yu didn't care about others.

So he just hugged Zhou Shuhe, raised his leg and stepped over Chen Xiaoxiao's side, like stepping over a nearby chair that couldn't help the fire and collapsed to the ground.

No one will know her intentions anymore, whether it's Zhou Shuhe or Chen Qingming, Qi Yu will only tell everyone that Xiaocai was unlucky and died accidentally in that fire.

There is nothing to say about winners and losers.

For the emperor, the most important thing is of course his Three Corpse Yanchong Pill.

"What!?" His complexion changed drastically, and he walked up to Qi Yu in three steps at a time, "Where do you think Roubi died?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the concubine Rou went to Yihe Palace, and accidentally encountered a big fire, and the fire spread to the small kitchen of Yihe Palace. Yuan Cairen, Xiao Cairen and Hui Baolin were all there. The slaves did not save the concubine Rou and the concubine. Xiao Cairen deserves death, and please punish him."

Qi Yu lowered his body even lower, hiding his face under his humble posture, hiding the coldness in his eyes.

If you want to mention something in one stroke, it is the most stupid behavior to add detailed arguments. The best way is to throw out other things that others care more about. If people focus on this place, they will naturally forget what is going on there.

In Qi Yu's mouth, the most important things are the concubine Rou, the darkroom of Yihe Palace, and the raging fire, while Zhou Shuhe is just like an innocent passing by, with no grievances, no inside information, Yun Guichu and the three corpses Yanchong Pill is a fantasy to her.

The more you know, the sooner you die, so in Qi Yu's explanation, Zhou Shuhe didn't know anything, and he didn't do anything, so naturally he wouldn't make the emperor suspicious.

And wait for the emperor to connect the soft concubine with the fire in the Yihe Palace, and then ask the queen later, knowing the existence of saltpeter and charcoal powder, and then think about the teachings of the holy religion, or just think about it in his mind Whether Concubine Rou has something strange recently - it doesn't matter if there is or not, as long as he thinks, Qi Yuding will help him find out the "different" he wants.

At that time, the emperor will complete a complete truth for himself.

For Qi Yu, this was the best result.

Chen Xiaoxiao died in that fire, and all the Three Corpse Yanchong Pills were destroyed, and it would take time to refine it, but he had actually thought of the way to truly prevent Gui Yun's crisis.

It just so happens that it takes time.
