Chapter 423 Chapter 424: Are there too many coincidences?

When Song Yunzhao arrived at Yanqing Palace, many people had gathered around him. Feng Yunjin, supported by the palace servants, stood outside the palace in a slightly embarrassed manner. When he saw Yun Zhao, he immediately came over to salute.

Yun Zhao grabbed her and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Why did it catch on fire?"

Feng Yunjin said: "The waiter accidentally started a fire because he didn't use the fire properly. Fortunately, he found it quickly and I was not seriously injured."

During the conversation, Concubine Shu also arrived. When she heard this, she immediately said angrily: "Accidentally started a fire? I think I was careless when I was on duty. You are usually a good talker, but now the people below are becoming more and more courageous. big."

Song Yunzhao also felt that this matter was strange. Feng Yunjin had just been frightened and was a little confused for a moment. She followed Concubine Shu's words and said: "Sister Concubine Shu said that if you are not careful, the palace will be burned down. If this happens, No matter how careless you are, you still don’t know what trouble may have occurred, so it’s better to find out clearly.”

 Concubine Shu was already uncomfortable because of Xu Mingying's incident, and now that this incident happened, it only added fuel to the fire. At this time, the fire had been extinguished and only wisps of black smoke were left floating in the air.

Concubine Shu took people in to check it out. The concubines always ate in the imperial dining room, and each palace only had a small tea room in their respective palaces to boil water for tea, or to make snacks when needed.

Now Feng Yunjin’s small teahouse was burned beyond recognition. The fire was extinguished quickly and the main hall was not affected. The small teahouse also needs to be renovated. Some of the outer walls of the main hall also need to be cleaned up due to smoke damage.

Concubine Shu ordered all the palace servants to circle around, and the anger in her heart was slowly suppressed.

Here Yun Zhao was asking Feng Yunjin what was going on, and Feng Yunjin answered truthfully.

"Today, I took a nap after eating. I was sleeping deeply when I heard someone shouting for fire. I was called by the people around me and ran out, and then the empress arrived."

Song Yunzhao nodded, "Where is Du Wanning who lives opposite you?"

Feng Yunjin shook his head, "She has a good relationship with Qin Cairen. Today she went to Qin Cairen's place and was not in the palace."

As soon as Feng Yunjin finished speaking, Xiangxue came back to report to Du Ji, wanting to pay her respects to the two empresses.

Song Yunzhao was not in the mood to see her, so he said, "Let her go back first."

Concubine Shu came over and stopped Xiangxue, "I happen to have something to ask her, please lead the way." After saying that, she turned to look at Song Yunzhao, "I know you value Feng Xiaoyuan, but the matter has not been found out yet, so why did you express your anger? It doesn’t look like you anymore.”

Song Yunzhao was speechless when asked by Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu became even more proud when she saw it, "In the past, you always said that I act on my own initiative. Now it's your turn, how can I act on my own initiative? You can't do that."

Concubine Shu held her head high and walked away, leaving Song Yunzhao dumbfounded.

Feng Yunjin felt a little warm in her heart and asked someone to move a chair for Yun Zhao to sit down. Then she said softly: "Are you worried that someone will do something against me?"

Song Yunzhao nodded slightly, "Xu Mingying just left, and something happened to you. I always think it's not an accident. You are my right-hand man now. If someone comes at me, you don't want to chop off my arm first. You'd better be careful." .”

Feng Yunjin was stunned, so Yun Zhao knew something was wrong with her here, and he came faster than Concubine Shu who was close at hand. She was really worried about her safety.

Feng Yunjin's eyes turned slightly red. She took refuge in Yun Zhao in the first place so that she could have a place in the palace and not be bullied. With her intelligence, she felt she could do it.

After getting along with him for the past few years, she knew that Yun Zhao treated her sincerely, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.

She sniffed slightly, "I know you are protecting me, but I am not stupid and can protect myself. I will find out what happened today." Song Yunzhao knew that Feng Yunjin had figured it out so he also breathed a sigh of relief, " Since the fire started in a small waiter, if someone is really behind the scenes, it means that someone around you has second thoughts. Unless we can get real evidence about this unexpected incident today, I am afraid we can only conclude it as an accident. However, in your own heart Have a claim and don’t be easily fooled.”

"I understand." Feng Yunjin agreed. Whether what happened today was an accident or a conspiracy, it really needs to be investigated carefully.

Concubine Shu came back very quickly and said to Yun Zhao: "Why does this Du Ji look so timid? I just asked a few words, but she seems to be beating or killing her."

Song Yunzhao looked at Concubine Shu, "Did Qin Cairen go over there to ask questions?"

Concubine Shu was stunned, "That's not the case yet. I'll let someone go."

  Du Wanning’s words need to be verified by Qin Cairen. She lives in the same palace as Feng Yunjin, and she happened to be away when the fire broke out today. She really needs to find out.

The person who asked questions from Qin Cairen hasn't come back yet, but the Shouci Palace got the news, and Grandma Yao came to ask questions in person.

Song Yunzhao hated the people in Shouci Palace so much that he hid in the palace without even showing his face, letting Concubine Shu fight with her.

Feng Yunjin naturally went out to reply. It was quiet in the palace, and the smell of smoke and burning after the fire could still be smelled in the nose, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Concubine Wan got the news that she was far away and walked this way. She met Aunt Yao who was about to go back. Yun Zhao watched through the window as Aunt Yao saluted Concubine Wan. He didn't know what he said. Concubine Wan's face didn't look right. good.

After Grandma Yao left, Concubine Wan came straight in. Concubine Shu saw her and said, "What are you doing here? Are you not feeling well these days?"

"I'm shocked when I get the news. Come and see with your own eyes to feel at ease." Concubine Wan coughed lightly and said. Because of Song Yunzhao, Concubine Wan's relationship with Feng Yunjin was good.

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Jinyi, Lu Zhixue and Wang Zhaorong all arrived, and Yanqing Palace suddenly became lively.

Han Jinyi's face was pale. When she saw Feng Yunjin holding her hand, she looked up and down carefully to make sure that she was fine. Then she felt relieved and almost burst into tears.

Lu Zhixue curled her lips in disgust, "Isn't this okay? Don't cry, it's so unlucky."

Han Jinyi’s tears didn’t fall, and she looked even more pitiful when they were held in her eyes.

Wang Zhaorong was talking to Concubine Wan. He turned around and said, "Han Jinyi is also worried, but not everyone is as big-hearted as you."

 “A broad mind is a blessing.” Lu Zhixue was very proud. She thought that when she entered the palace, her mind was smaller than a needle's nose, but now she has become more generous than a fool.

Ai Ju and Ru Hua beside Feng Yunjin were busy greeting everyone. Concubine Shu had already sent people to investigate the palace servants who caused the fire in the small tea room. The person who responded was as expected by Yun Zhao, and it was a surprise.

The little palace maid guarding the stove accidentally dozed off. The stove added too much charcoal. When the wind blew the door and windows wide open, it ignited the handkerchief she was holding. The fire burned her hand, and she subconsciously He immediately threw the veil out, but by chance it landed on the door curtain, and the fire started immediately.

 It didn't sound suspicious, but Yun Zhao always felt that there were too many coincidences.
