All the relevant files were placed on the bookshelf. Gu Qiang took out a few books and flipped through them casually. Even Gu Qiang herself did not expect that she would be so lucky to get the first file. It belongs to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother is also the concubine of the former Emperor, which means that most of the files here record the affairs of one person. No wonder these files are thin and thick. It is because of this that Shen Qianshan's mother-in-law, who lived about the same time as the Queen Mother, It should be around here.
Gu Qiang looked around and found a few files about Shen Qianshan's mother and concubine. However, after playing it for a while, she suddenly felt that something was not right. Indeed, generally speaking, such a secret room is indeed better than the outside. The temperature is higher, but when I came in, there were no lights here. How could it become so hot in such a short period of time when I came in alone
Since Gu Qiang came out of the woods last time, all his senses have become very dull, so he didn't feel that it was getting hotter and hotter at first because the ancestral hall was actually on fire.
It wasn't until Gu Qiang saw the light of fire at the exit that she finally reacted. She was also stunned for a moment. When she just came in, she had already seen that the little eunuch who followed her in had already left. Could it be that he was Turn back again and light a fire
Gu Qiang couldn't help coughing twice. She really didn't understand why such a thing happened suddenly. Could it be that someone really wanted to trap him in this place? On his way here, Jiuzhi met Gu Zhiyao, but could she really be that stupid? I met her alone on the road. If something really happened, wouldn't she be the biggest suspect? Could she really be that stupid
Gu Qiang doesn't have time to think about so many things now. Everything seems not so important to her now. She is hiding in the secret room and doesn't know how the fire outside is burning, so now We must find all the files about Shen Qianshan's mother and concubine, otherwise if they spread to this place, these files will never be found.
Shen Qianshan's mother-in-law was also the former emperor's concubine. Most of the files were kept in the same place as the Queen Mother, so I didn't have time to look at them carefully, so I could only pick a few that looked like them and picked them up.
Now it seems that we can only rely on luck and try our best. What if it really happens? It stands to reason that the emperor's concubines generally do not have so many files, but like the Queen Mother and Shen Qianshan's mother-in-law, the mother-in-law The more powerful the family, the more detailed the records would be. Gu Qiang took these things into consideration, so he stuffed the two thicker books in the sky into his breast pocket.
When Gu Qiang hurriedly wanted to come out of the place where he had entered before, he realized that the place where he came in was very burned because there was a table outside covered with a tablecloth. As soon as she reached the entrance, Gu Qiang was blocked by the fire. The fire spread so quickly. Someone must have set the fire deliberately. When she came in, she had already noticed that the surrounding curtains were far away from the candlesticks for burning incense. It's far away, so it shouldn't be burning. How could something like this happen suddenly
Gu Qiang checked the files he took out again. After confirming that they were put away, he began to think of a way to get out of this place. If he was discovered in the fire scene, he probably wouldn't even know when. Although it seemed The fire will not burn this place for the time being, but Gu Qiang has already noticed that he is starting to have difficulty breathing. If he continues to stay here, he will definitely not be able to hold on for long.
If he is found in this place, the biggest suspect for setting this fire is undoubtedly himself. It seems that someone has noticed him walking towards him, so he specially found someone to follow him, but who can do such a thing? Woolen cloth
Everyone can see that Shen Zhongbai has placed great trust in himself during the recent period. If something goes wrong at this time, those people in the court who dislike him or feel that he Those who threaten them will definitely take this opportunity to attack themselves. If things really come true, Shen Zhongbai will not sacrifice his reputation and become a dispensable pawn.
Shen Siyin also just came out of the Taifu's side, but he didn't expect that as soon as he went out, he saw the light of the sky in the distance. Looking in the direction over there, he originally thought there was something wrong with Gu Zhiyao's side. , but when I looked closer, I realized that the ancestral hall next to Gu Zhiyao’s palace was on fire. Forget it if it was somewhere else, it was the ancestral hall. If that place was set on fire, it would be a big deal. I don’t know why, Shen Siyin I felt a little panicked and subconsciously ran in that direction.
"Princess, what are you doing over there? The ancestral hall is on fire, and the palace officials are putting out the fire there."
"Stop talking about this now, hurry up and ask where Gu Suran is!"
Shen Siyin suddenly became anxious. He just asked Gu Suran to walk around. He couldn't really go to the ancestral hall, right
If there is a fire, no matter what happens to him or not, this matter will have nothing to do with him.
Shen Siyin could not help but feel a little flustered by Jude. He had helped Gu Suran hide so many things before. If the incident happened this time, no matter what, he would not be able to protect him.
At the entrance of the secret room, because there was a tablecloth covered with fire, it had already been burned to the sky. She had no chance to come out. Gu Qiang didn't know pain at all now, so she couldn't feel the burn from the fire outside. How much pain does it feel when you touch your own hand
But she knew that if she rushed out like that, she would definitely be burned all over. The place he took was still safe for the time being. After thinking for a long time, Gu Qiang decided to kick open the table at the door. He quickly got out of the hole and finally rushed out, but the situation outside once again put Gu Qiang into a desperate situation.
The surrounding curtains have been completely burned, and the door has been surrounded by fire. Because it is a wooden door and window, when the fire starts, it will burn even more severely at this time. If I had stayed here, I am afraid that I would really be alive. It's so hot.
The fire burned for a while before someone went to report Shen Zhongbai.
"The Emperor is in trouble, there's a fire at the ancestral hall."
The eunuch in charge of the harem affairs hurried to Shen Zhongbai's door. The palace people near the ancestral hall had already started to put out the fire, so he had the opportunity to run out and report to Shen Zhongbai.
Shen Zhongbaizheng and Feng Yao were discussing matters in the study. When they heard this, they immediately became anxious. Where is the ancestral hall? How could someone set a fire in that place
At this time, Shen Qianshan and Shen Zhongbai were discussing some matters related to the border fortress in the study. He did not expect that things would happen so suddenly.
As soon as I heard that the matter was related to the ancestral hall, I suddenly became worried. Shen Qianshan was afraid that something would happen, so he followed him. After all, the ancestral hall enshrined not only Shen Zhongbai's ancestors, but also his own ancestors. The ancestral hall was indeed an important existence to him.
But why did it suddenly catch fire? Aren't there usually special people guarding places like that
Shen Zhongbai hurriedly lifted up his robe and immediately followed the young eunuch in the direction of the ancestral hall. When he was walking on the road, he thought about asking what was going on.
"Has anyone been there today? Do you know who set the fire? Have you found out?" Shen Zhongbai had never thought that he would be so anxious. He had such a kingly demeanor and stepped aside in front of such an important matter.
"Back to the emperor, I haven't found out who set the fire, but I heard from the eunuchs and maids passing by that it seemed that the prince-in-law had been in and out of the ancestral hall today, and I don't know if he is still in it now."
"Gu Suran? What is he doing in that place?"
As soon as Shen Zhongbai heard that Gu Suran was entering and leaving the country, his expression immediately changed. The expression of Shen Qianshan next to him also tensed up instantly. Qian'er must have gone in while helping him find files, but why did it suddenly catch fire
It's not like I've never been to the ancestral hall. All the curtains are well kept, and there are rarely open fires. Even if you burn incense all day long, it's impossible to burn so much. Someone must have deliberately set the fire. Is it possible? Is it true that Qian'er did it
Shen Qianshan remained silent and followed Shen Zhongbai silently, but his pace gradually accelerated. Now all he could think about was, what if Qian'er was still there
Seeing the flames soaring into the sky, Shen Zhongbai and Shen Qianshan were both dumbfounded, "What on earth is going on? Where are the guards?"
"Back to the emperor, the young eunuchs around saw the fire. When they came over, the fire was already burning fiercely. I didn't know if there was anyone inside."
Shen Qianshan stared at the window. The figure in the fire scene flashed by, but Shen Qianshan keenly caught it. There was indeed someone in the ancestral hall. Although it was just passing by, he could still tell that the figure was definitely Gu Qiang.
"Your Majesty! There are people inside the fire scene!"
After hearing this, Shen Zhongbai was dumbfounded, "But now that the fire is so big, there is no way to rush in and save people."
Shen Qianshan looked at the little eunuch beside him, grabbed the bucket from his hand, poured it over his head, and rushed into the fire alone.
