Chapter 30 See Who's More Accurate
And then he was suppressed.
He wanted to tell Yaoyao that it was just a dream and not to take it seriously, but he didn't have the courage.
I don't know how long I stood there. A cool breeze blew by, dispersing the fireworks in the sky and also dispersing his gloomy heart.
When Yao Jia returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor, empress, and everyone else had just returned from watching the fireworks outside.
When An He saw her, he went into the temple with her.
Just as everyone was about to take their seats, a eunuch with a panicked look on his face ran in hastily, knelt in the middle of the hall and said, "Your Majesty, this is bad! There's a fire in the Yonghe Palace!"
The emperor was startled and stood up and shouted at him: "Why don't you go put out the fire?!"
"Your Majesty, the Fire Division has already arrived."
The emperor was relieved.
Yao Jia didn't understand why the emperor cared so much about a palace that had been empty for a long time, so she asked An He what was going on.
An He said, "That was Concubine Qi's bedroom. You didn't know that because you came to Beijing late. Concubine Qi and my father grew up together. After my father ascended the throne, he took her into the harem and favored her for two years. Unfortunately, she died more than ten years ago. After her death, my father did not allow other concubines to live in Yonghe Palace, just to remind them of her."
Yao Jia looked at the first emperor with a heavy face. She didn't expect that this man was so loyal.
Not long after, another eunuch ran in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the fire has been put out. Fortunately, there are no casualties."
The emperor wondered, "Why did the fire start for no reason?"
"Your Majesty, yes, it was the flames from the fireworks that fell into the pillars of the Yonghe Palace. The dry weather in winter caused the fire."
The emperor began to be suspicious again: "The snow hasn't melted yet, how can it be dry? It's obvious that you didn't investigate carefully and used this excuse to fool me!"
As if remembering something, the emperor began to look around and asked in a deep voice: "Where is Chen Ying? Where did he go?"
Everyone began to look around, but could not find any trace of Chen Ying.
Yao Jia laughed wildly in her heart. Chen Ying was probably enjoying riding the eunuch right now, so it would be best if he could have a few more rounds with that little Mengzi.
At this time, the emperor was a little impatient, "Someone! Go and find Chen Ying!"
At this moment, Yao Jia spoke up, "Your Majesty! I have something to report!"
The emperor looked at Yao Jia puzzledly and asked, "What's the matter, Young Pavilion Master Nangong?"
Yao Jia stepped forward and said, following the emperor's meaning, "Your Majesty! This fire should be a sign of disaster."
"Oh? What makes you think so, young Pavilion Master?"
Yao Jia said seriously, "The sparks are located in a high place! This indicates that the disaster is in the mountains! Yonghe Palace is located in the southwest! This proves that the disaster is also in the southwest!"
Yao Jia closed his eyes and pretended to count with his fingers, saying, "Your Majesty! There may be a landslide in Lingwu Mountain! I suggest that the officials there make preparations immediately! Relocate the local people! To avoid unnecessary losses."
"What nonsense!" came a voice of contempt!
Everyone turned around and looked at the person who came. It was Chen Ying!
Behind him followed a handsome eunuch with a slightly red face.
Yao Jia looked carefully and found that it was Meng Zhi!
Oh my goodness! Yao Jia was deeply shocked. She didn't expect that this man could sleep with noble ladies outside the Dream Palace and flirt with high-ranking officials inside the palace. It was really a waste of all previous efforts.
Chen Ying walked up to Yao Jia and said in a stern voice, "You little brat! You can recite a few star formulas and yet you are so ignorant and make random guesses! Lingwu Mountain is a sacred mountain! It has stood for thousands of years! How could there be a landslide? It is clear that another phenomenon caused the fire."
"Oh?" The emperor asked in confusion, "Why do you think so, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Ying bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I just observed the sky at night and found that Sirius was moving strangely. I am afraid that one of my subjects has changed his mind. This subject is in the south. I hope Your Majesty will consider it."
You really lie without thinking. You even watch the sky at night. Are you watching fireworks?
Yao Jia sneered, "Mr. Chen's words are too general. There are many officials in the south. Does Your Majesty want to screen them one by one? Even if there are really people with ulterior motives, if we continue to investigate like this, we will definitely alert the enemy. Don't let those with ulterior motives be caught, but those who are loyal to the country will be wrongly accused. Isn't that disheartening?"
In the previous life, the Le family died unjustly!
Yao Jia knelt down towards the emperor and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, people's hearts are fickle and disasters are blind!"
"His Majesty……"
Chen Ying wanted to say something else, but the emperor raised his hand to stop him.
"Chen Aiqing, can you tell me who in the south has ulterior motives?"
"This..." Chen Ying hesitated. What should he say? He just heard from the emperor's close ministers that the emperor felt that the Le family was too popular recently and wanted to teach them a lesson. But whether the Le family had any ulterior motives or not, only God knew.
The emperor chuckled and looked at Yao Jia, "Young Pavilion Master, can you tell me exactly when the disaster will occur?"
Yao Jia said confidently: "Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, it will take me two days to calculate the exact time of the disaster."
Yao Jia looked at Nangong Xiu Lan who appeared beside her out of nowhere. Why was this person always appearing and disappearing mysteriously?
The emperor nodded and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, my dear Nangong, to work hard for two days to quickly figure out the time, so as not to delay the aftermath of the disaster."
"I will do my best."
Seeing that Nangong Xiulan did not object to Yaojia's statement, the balance in his heart had already tilted towards Yaojia. He raised his hand and said, "In this case, Wei Wei will convey my oral order and ask the local officials of Lingwu Mountain to quickly evacuate the local people to avoid disaster."
"The slave obeys the order."
The Yonghe Palace was on fire, and the emperor had no interest in the palace banquet. He waved his hand and said, "I am tired. My dear ministers, continue to drink."
After she finished speaking, she was taken out by Concubine Shu.
Everyone bowed and saw him off.
The queen still had a smile on her face and was chatting and laughing with everyone, but her heart was already filled with bitterness, and she went back soon.
Seeing that the emperor and empress had already left, everyone naturally had no need to stay any longer.
Yao Jia didn't want to go back with Nangong Xiu Lan, so she asked An He, "Did you bring the incense burner with you? I want to take your carriage back."
An He said, "I brought it, but I have to stay in the palace today."
Yao Jia was puzzled.
An He continued, "On the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, my father would accompany my mother, but you can see from his attitude just now that he will not be in my mother's palace today. I have to go and accompany her."
Then he asked Yao Jia, "Why do you want to ride in my carriage?"
Yao Jia was speechless for a moment.
An He smiled and said, "Are you having a quarrel with Brother Nangong again? You are so good at coaxing other men, but why can't you do it with your own man? If I light a lamp of harmony and let him have a taste of sweetness, he will naturally obey you in everything."
Seeing Yao Jia drooping her brows and not speaking, she moved closer and continued, "You're not so afraid of him that you haven't even done that with him, are you?"
Yao Jia rolled her eyes in her heart. Of course she had done it before, more than once, but it all happened in her previous life.
In the previous life, he pushed the person down directly, but now that he wants to divorce, he naturally can't drag it on and on.
"That's not the case. I can't explain it to you in a few words."
"Then say it in three or four sentences."
An He was no longer in a hurry to accompany the Queen, and directly pulled Yao Jia back to sit, as if she would not let Yao Jia go back unless she told the truth.
