Just as everyone was thinking about who would dare to murder the emperor's life in the harem, the queen mother's eyes suddenly fell on Jiang Zuiyao, and she asked questioned: "Pin Mu, did you really have insomnia at that time?"

No matter how stupid the person is, he can hear what it means. Jiang Zuiyao was startled and quickly explained: "I really have insomnia."

The empress dowager looked at Jiang Zuiyao with doubts, which made others suspicious.

After all, when I saw someone throwing fire in the side hall, there was only Jiang Zuiyao, and there was no other person, so some people began to doubt whether Jiang Zuiyao's words just now were true. Besides, it would make sense to avoid the guards who were heavily guarded, if they set fire in the side hall.

Jiang Zuiyao looked at everyone's questioning gaze and subconsciously glanced at the emperor. The emperor also stared at her coldly. Her heart trembled. Last night, the emperor treated her worse than she used to be. He had already begun to doubt her. He was inevitably suspicious at this moment.

Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly said, "The Empress Dowager is clear that this matter has nothing to do with the concubine!"

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, did the Ai family say you did it? Why are you panic?"

In this case, it seems that it was made by Jiang Zuiyao. How could Jiang Zuiyao sit and wait for death? He hurriedly said, "If it was really done by the concubine, burning His Majesty to death directly in the hall is what the concubine should do. How could the concubine wake him up and escape?"

That's true.

The queen nodded and said, "Mother, this is true. If it was really done by Mu Meng, she would not wake up Your Majesty."

As a result, the emperor began to recall everything that happened at that time. He was tired and slept very heavily in the past few days. It was indeed Mubin who woke him up, and he could have escaped first, but he did not throw him down and woke him up and escaped.

In this way, the emperor dispelled his doubts and said to the Empress Dowager: "Mother, what happened at that time is clear that the murderer should be someone else."

Since the emperor said so, the empress dowager couldn't hold on to Jiang Zuiyao and immediately said angrily: "Investigate! Be sure to find out!"

At this time, Shao Ziqing, who was standing aside, spoke, "Who said that setting fire in the side hall must be the murder of Your Majesty?"

This voice made everyone look at Shao Ziqing, who was not conspicuous.

Shao Ziqing's residence was also around the side hall, and the emperor also made it convenient for him to meet Jiang Zuiyao, so the fire broke out in the side hall, which naturally alarmed Shao Ziqing.

This was the first time the empress dowager met Shao Ziqing. She also heard about the fact that Mubin Mu's brother entered the palace for a short stay. Although she was dissatisfied, it was the emperor's decision that she could not drive people out of the palace. At this moment, she asked unhappily: "You should be Mubin Mu's brother, right?"

Shao Ziqing took a step and bowed to the Empress Dowager and said, "That's right, the people of the grass meet with the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager would not take a civilian seriously. In addition, he was a person related to Jiang Zuiyao, and glanced at him contemptuously and asked, "What do you mean by what you said just now?"

Shao Ziqing didn't care about the contempt of the queen mother and replied indifferently: "Now that Mu Meng is deeply favored, it is difficult to guarantee that she will be jealous. It is possible that someone cannot tolerate Mu Meng."

As soon as these words were spoken, the queen immediately became energetic: "This is reasonable. If someone wants to murder Mubin's life, it is not impossible."

When the Empress Dowager heard that someone wanted to harm Jiang Zuiyao, she didn't care so much.

But the emperor couldn't tolerate it and said angrily: "Rareless! My woman dares to move? Investigate! We must find out clearly who is trying to harm Mu'er? I definitely cannot!"

This would be enough to move many people present.

First of all, the empress dowager looked at the emperor with a strange look. After all, she was the one who forced Mu'er to death at the beginning. The emperor's words inevitably involved the affairs of that year.

Immediately afterwards, Shao Ziqing also looked at the emperor with an unhappy face. Jiang Zuiyao was obviously his woman. He could not be happy when he heard the emperor say this.

Then, it was the queen. The queen's eyes rolled slightly and immediately said, "Your Majesty, leave this matter to me to investigate. I will definitely find out the truth."

The emperor nodded: "Okay, let the queen investigate this matter. I will only give you three days. If you can't find out, I will only ask!"

"Yes, I obey the order." The queen took the order and left the hall, and quickly investigated and dealt with it with decisiveness.

After this trouble, the fish belly in the sky began to turn white and it was dawn.

The emperor pressed his forehead and looked very tired. Jiang Zuiyao said, "Your Majesty, go and rest quickly. It's still some time before morning court, and you can still sleep for a while."

The emperor nodded, stood up and said to the empress dowager, "Mother, my son has slept late last night, so go and rest first."

The Empress Dowager naturally cherished her son and nodded, "The dragon body is important, go and rest quickly."

Immediately, the emperor stretched out his hand towards Jiang Zuiyao. Jiang Zuiyao quickly stepped forward and helped the emperor up and walked towards the main hall.

After coaxing the emperor to sleep for half an hour, the emperor wanted to get up and go to court. Because he was sleepy, he didn't have time to eat breakfast. After changing his clothes, he said to Jiang Zuiyao before leaving: "The fire in the side palace is on the spot, and no one can live there for the time being. You can live in my main hall for the time being."

Jiang Zuiyao said in surprise: "Your Majesty, this is your bedroom, and it is not in accordance with the rules for your concubines to live there."

The emperor sorted out the dragon-patterned jade pendant on his waist and said strongly: "With me here, no one dares to do anything to you, just live with peace of mind."

After saying this, the emperor crossed the threshold and left.

Jiang Zuiyao asked Susu to go to the side hall to get the clothes for changing. Susu went there for a long time before coming back. While there was no one in the hall, Susu said anxiously and panickedly: "Miss, it's not good!"

Jiang Zuiyao thought something big happened, so she panicked: "What's wrong?"

Su Su replied: "Prince Gong's medicine is gone! I searched through the entire side palace but couldn't find it. I caught fire last night, was it discovered and taken away?"

Jiang Zuiyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I haven't lost it, I've been hiding it in my shoes. I must not be able to leave this kind of thing."

Su Su quickly patted her chest and said, "I'm scared to death, I thought I was lost."

Jiang Zuiyao looked outside and found that there were more palace servants and guards than in the side hall. She frowned and said, "It seems that you should be careful when doing things in the future. There are too many people in the main hall of the Emperor."

Su Su nodded: "Yes, why did this catch fire? When the Queen Mother asked me just now, I really thought it was made by a girl."

Jiang Zuiyao pursed her lips helplessly and replied, "Am I that stupid? His Majesty and I slept in the same room, set fire to him, and I escaped. Isn't this the place without silver? "

Su Su nodded again: "Yes, I still think that the girl is not a stupid person, how could she do such a fool, but the empress dowager was so arrogant that she scared me."

When talking about the empress dowager, Jiang Zuiyao glanced unhappily: "Don't pay attention to such an old woman."

Su Su asked in confusion: "But, this is not what we did. Who else would have to murder the emperor?"

Jiang Zuiyao said indifferently: "It doesn't matter who it is right now, more importantly, the emperor seems to have doubted me."

As soon as these words came out, Su Su was shocked and looked panicked. She was about to ask when she saw Shao Ziqing walking in.
