Wishful Things

Emperor Qingming drank half a bowl of ginger tea, the two talked for a while, and then it was time to rest.

The two walked into the inner hall together, the queen was secretly glad that she had enough dinner.

Otherwise, she was really afraid that if she couldn't bear it later, she would lose her composure in front of the imperial court.

After the emperor and empress rested, the lights in the inner hall were turned off.

After resting for a while, Emperor Qingming opened his eyes.

The sound of rain outside the window did not stop, and a flash of lightning flashed from time to time, and the silver light suddenly illuminated the hall, followed by the roar of thunder.

As time passed, Emperor Qingming gradually calmed down.

It seems that nothing unusual happened in Fengtian Temple, or the other party was caught by Han Yan before he could do anything——

As soon as this thought came out, Emperor Qingming was about to close his eyes and fall asleep when he suddenly heard the sound of slightly hurried footsteps coming from outside the hall.

He opened his eyes again.

"His Majesty……!"

It was the voice of Li Ji, the chief inspector.

Hearing the flustered tone of the chief eunuch, Emperor Qingming frowned slightly, and immediately sat up.

The hall quickly re-lighted the lamps.

Emperor Qingming lifted up the bed curtain and strode out. The inner eunuch stepped forward to drape clothes for him.

"What happened?" Emperor Qingming looked at Li Ji who came in to salute.

"Your Majesty, it's the Fengtian Palace...there's a fire!" As caring as Li Ji, he decided to let His Majesty the Emperor who had just woken up take a little rest.

Emperor Qingming frowned.

"Have you found out who set the fire?"

It turns out that the other party's plan is actually here?

Want to push the source of the water leak in Fengtian Temple to Xia's family with the theory of evil?

If so, this method is too inferior and absurd.

But what's even more absurd is——Han Yan actually let this kind of mistake happen under his nose under the premise of being on guard!

Thinking of this, anger appeared in Emperor Qingming's eyes.

"Return to Your Majesty, this fire...is not man-made, but a natural disaster..." Li Ji lowered his voice a little bit with a complex expression: "It was caused by thunder and fire."

Emperor Qingming's expression froze for a moment.

"What?"

He felt that he must have heard wrong——

Li Ji only said more bluntly: "Your Majesty, Fengtian Palace...was struck by lightning!"

Emperor Qingming's pupils vibrated violently.

"Be struck by lightning?!"

——These four words not only represent his disbelief towards this matter, but also a true portrayal of his expression at this time.

Li Ji wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and replied: "...Exactly."

Emperor Qingming's face became more and more serious.

How could such a beautiful Fengtian Temple be struck by lightning suddenly!

The queen who was awakened in the tent was also very surprised.

She took the cloak handed over by Mammy, and hastily smoothed her black hair.

Mammy then raised the tent.

"Is anyone in the palace injured?" The queen got off the bed and asked Li Ji solemnly, frowning.

"Going back to Empress, only one young eunuch suffered some burns, but it's not serious."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief.

There were no casualties, but it happened to hit Fengtian Temple——

Then this thunder is too spiritual, right?

Glancing quietly at the emperor whose face was covered with clouds, at this moment, she didn't want to say anything except "God has eyes".

"Why are there no palace casualties?" Emperor Qingming heard something wrong: "Didn't I order Han Yan and others to guard Fengtian Palace tonight?"

"Returning to the emperor, I have already asked Commander Han, because half a quarter of an hour before the incident, a guard patrolling behind Fengtian Hall said that he had noticed something unusual in the garden - Commander Han feared that an assassin had sneaked in, so he immediately led people to search for it. The rest of the palace guards also left the Fengtian Hall when they heard the movement, and stood guard outside the hall to guard against the assassins approaching at any time..."

"Have you caught the assassin yet?" Emperor Qingming asked immediately.

Although it is impossible for a capable assassin to attract thunder and fire, any changes tonight must not be let go!

Li Ji said: "Commander Han said that there was no trace of the assassin, only a wild cat was found... The noise that the little guard heard should be from that wild cat."

The queen looked surprised.

After the thunder that slashed Fengtian Temple, something also very spiritual appeared?

Turning around, I asked the palace people to look for the wild cat, so it would be better to keep it in her Yukun Palace.

Emperor Qingming's eyes were bottomless.

In other words, there are no assassins at all.

"I'm going to Fengtian Temple to have a look."

Emperor Qingming's face was tense, and he was about to walk outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it!" Li Ji hurriedly persuaded: "The rain, thunder and lightning have not disappeared, and natural disasters have no eyes... Your Majesty's dragon body is precious, how can you take such a risk."

——To put it bluntly, there is no shortage of His Majesty who can carry a bucket to put out the fire.

The queen sighed inwardly.

I am not afraid of natural disasters without eyes, but I am afraid of having too many eyes.

If the emperor is really hacked, it will be completely messed up.

As the mother of a country, she should put the overall situation first, so she could only persuade her with a few words that were not true.

Hearing the thunder outside, Emperor Qingming calmed down and thought about it, whether he insisted on going his own way.

He sat down on the couch with a serious face and looked out of the flickering window.

No matter how much he thought about it, he never imagined that there would be such a change in Fengtian Temple tonight——

If it is anything else, even if there is no evidence at all, he can assume that it was deliberately planned by someone.

Only this thunder... made him unable to convince himself that it was caused by man.

It is absolutely impossible in this world to have an expert who can control natural disasters.

If it is true, why bother to go far and near to smash Fengtian Temple, it would be easier to direct a lightning strike on him or Xia Tingzhen's head!

Thinking of what Han Yan said in the imperial study today, Emperor Qingming's eyes changed again and again.

There are some things that you can choose to believe or not to believe.

But some things, once presented in front of their eyes, make people have to believe it.

What's more, the Fengtian Palace that he had just ordered to be repaired was struck by lightning... Don't even think about it, you know what kind of rumors will be caused by this.

He absolutely cannot allow anyone to blame him for this so-called warning.

I don't even want someone with a heart to judge whether his actions are against the will of God, and then shake everything he has so hard to get——

...

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Xia Tingzhen and several ministers have not left yet.

Recently, His Majesty's dissatisfaction with him is obvious. Apart from resolving Han'er's matter as soon as possible, there must be no slack in official affairs.

It just so happens that there are some tricky official duties on his hands recently, so tonight he left a few colleagues to discuss and deal with them.

Because it was getting late, and they had to get up early to go to court tomorrow morning, they decided to stay in Wenyuan Pavilion for the night.

This kind of thing is not uncommon during the busy business days.

At this time, all the things that should be dealt with have been dealt with, Xia Tingzhen got up from the desk, and said to several other officials: "It's getting late, everyone, let's go and rest."

The officials bowed to each other.

Just as they were about to disperse, they could only hear the faint exclamations of the palace people outside.

Thanks to the lord Qinghan for the rewards~ Thank you for your monthly tickets and rewards, thank you very much.
