322 Woe of Water

The New Year has only been over from New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival on New Year's Day. On the day of the Lantern Festival, Lin Su led Afu and A Ling to make lanterns together, and finally wrote a simple congratulatory speech on it, which made people hang at the gate of the palace.

Afu and A Ling had a good time and took Allen to make several lanterns together. Allen's short hands and feet can only help, but he also plays happily and fools up everywhere.

When several children were tired of playing, Lin Su ordered the wet nurse to take a shower separately.

Lying alone at night, she has time to think about what she put down a few years ago. Now that the Spring Festival is over, I'm afraid the emperor should also investigate the matter about Zhou Shude, right?

I just don't know what the queen's methods are. Lan Xin's side has taken advantage of the New Year's parties. If she still wants to go alone, it is inevitable to fall with Zhou Shude.

Thinking about this, Lin Su fell asleep, but she didn't expect to hear bursts of noise outside in the middle of her sleep.

She got up and called Xia He, the vigil, to come in: "What's going on outside?"

Xia He lit the lights and whispered, "Master, I heard that it's the noble man's palace."

Lin Su, who leaned against the head of the bed, was shocked and quickly lifted the quilt. "Go and pat people to see what's going on. Call Chunyan and Xia Yan for me... I'm going."

When Lin Su simply changed her clothes and rushed to Zhou Shude's palace, the fire had not been completely extinguished. Zhou Shude stood outside awkwardly and was protected by the maids, trembling all over.

Jiang Caier and Rong Rong, who are close to each other, have stood on one side and said something, while Lan Xin, Wang Liulian and Wei Tiantian are also rushing here.

Seeing Lin Su coming, everyone quickly straightened their plastic surgery and saluted. Lin Su quickly waved his hand to stop him, and then went straight forward to help Zhou Shude and whispered, "What's going on? How did you get out of the water?"

"I don't know either." Zhou Shude looked panicked, "Tonight, the Empress Dowager went to bed early. After I came back, I felt tired and went to bed early. If the people around me hadn't woken up, I'm afraid that my concubine would......"

As she spoke, she grabbed Lin Su's arm and cried. Lin Su motioned the maid next to help her, looked around, and then said, "If it's too late today, everyone can stay here all the time. Deguiren, you will stay tonight..."

She took a look at the people present and finally said, "The palace where Jiang Guiren and Rongguiren live is close to this side. Tonight, Degui people will live on their side first."

Jiang Caier raised her eyebrows and opened her mouth to object, but she saw Rongrong pulling her, and then said, "That's just right. I have a good relationship with Jiang Guiren. I will live with Jiang Guiren tonight. Let's give my house to De Guiren."

"Thank you very much." Zhou Shude returned a slight salute, "It's just that how can I live in my sister's room? It's enough to clean up a side room."

Jiang Caier didn't say anything. Lin Su glanced at it and said, "This is just a stopgap measure. Since the noble man's residence needs to be renovated, I'm afraid it's better to point to a new residence. I thought that since nobles usually take care of Empress Dowager Lan, it would be better to move to Taohuaxuan, which is close to the residence of Empress Dowager Lan. It's just that the master may not have lived there for a long time, and I'm afraid it's better to order me to clean it up tomorrow.

"Thank you very much." Zhou Shude saluted, and as soon as she looked up, she hurriedly knelt down again. "I have met the emperor, the emperor... the emperor..." She cried out. Lin Su turned around and took the women to salute Si Yu.

Si Yu first helped Lin Su before he stood up and said, "Get up."

Lin Su stood beside Si Yu and looked at Zhou Shude's face seemed to be paler. He looked down at Si Yu holding his hand, and then whispered, "Your Majesty, the reason for the noble man's residence has not been identified. The concubine thought that it was too late, so she settled the nobleman to live in the honorable man first. She thought that the yard would be repaired again. The nobleman took care of the Empress Dowager and did her best, so she simply wanted to clear the peach blossom Xuan out for the nobleman to live in.

"Well, it's very appropriate for the noble concubine to deal with it like this." Si Yu nodded and motioned to Zhou Shude to come forward and comfort him in a low voice. Then he said, "The matter of walking in the water must be clearly investigated. If someone deliberately does it..." He didn't finish his words, but a chill made everyone present feel cold and dare not look up.

Lin Su was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "I will definitely order someone to investigate. It's just a big fire, I'm afraid that even if there are any traces, it will be almost burned. Fortunately, De Guiren was not injured. Let's drink some calming tea tonight. Previously, my concubine had asked Xia Yan to hire a left-behind imperial doctor. I'm afraid she will also arrive now.

"Let the others disperse. In the middle of the night, have a good rest." Si Yu waved his hand and motioned the other women to go back. He only took Lin Su to the Zihua Hall where Jiang and Rong lived, sat on the chair of the main hall, and then said, "What happened tonight? Okay, why is there water in the palace?

"I really don't know. If the maid in the palace hadn't woken up, I'm afraid that my concubine would have been buried in the fire now." Zhou Shude knelt straight in front of Si Yu. Lin Su coldly looked at this and helped Zhou Shude get up. "Don't panic. The emperor also cares about you, so he asked so. Just elaborate on what you know. After all, today is the Lantern Festival. All palaces and courtyards have hung their own lanterns, and it is also possible to walk inadvertently..."

Zhou Shude paused slightly, and then whispered, "This concubine really doesn't know. After all, my concubine served the empress dowager in the empress dowager's palace. After coming back, she just washed up and lay down..."

"Then ask the slaves who serve the nobles." Lin Su squeezed her lips and smiled, "I think they are clear."

As she spoke, she loosened Zhou Shude's arm and turned around and walked to Si Yu's side. She whispered, "If the emperor wants to find out tonight, it's better to pass on to the group of slaves who served the nobles before coming to ask questions. After all, walking in the palace is not a trivial matter, and it has something to do with them anyway.

Si Yu nodded slightly, "Those useless slaves came in to reply!"

Jiang Caier and Rong Rong, who were standing aside, exchanged eyes and stood aside silently, but some strange light flashed in their eyes.

After a while, three or four maids and two eunuchs knelt in front of the crowd. Lin Su and others had already sat down. Si Yu glanced at the people kneeling in the hall and did not speak immediately, but their faces became more and more gloomy.

Even Lin Su faintly feels that there is a feeling of oppression that makes people breathless.
