When the prince came back, he heard that Bai Qianfan was taken away by the emperor, his face changed, and he walked out, in order to prevent the emperor from seeing Bai Qianfan, he did not hesitate to expose his secret room to Bai Qianfan and let her hide inside, but the Japanese defense was released, and they still met.

When he arrived at the main hall, the emperor sat there drinking tea slowly, not surprised by his arrival.

"Father," the crown prince stepped forward and saluted, "the son has just returned from outside the palace. ”

"How's it going?"

"It was only a restaurant that caught fire, and there were no casualties."

"It's a great blessing."

"It's my father, the Emperor, who is blessed with Qitian."

The Emperor said, "In this way, the events of last night are only the afterglow of that man, not the real daylight." ”

The prince nodded, "Erchen also thinks so, there are still three days until the eighteenth, but there is no fire oil or fuel in the bulk of materials that have recently entered the city, and last night's fire was ignited from the kitchen of the restaurant, saying that he forgot to seal the fire when it closed, and the red charcoal fell out of the stove, igniting the firewood piled up on the wall, thus causing a fire." Erchen carefully inspected it, and there was indeed no fuel, which shows that the person acted very carefully, and did not show any flaws......"

The Emperor interrupted him, "Maybe we guessed wrong from the beginning, he didn't want to burn the Imperial City, so he didn't need a lot of fuel. ”

The crown prince was stunned for a moment, "It's not burning the imperial city, where is that?" ”

The Emperor said, "He has already told us the answer, the eighteenth." ”

A flash of inspiration flashed in the prince's mind, and his eyes widened violently, "It's Bai Tuta!" ”

Baitu Pagoda is the temple with the most incense in the city, the eighteenth day of the lunar month, according to the custom, the emperor should personally pray for the wind and rain in the coming year in Baitu Pagoda, that day, almost all the people of the city are dispatched, kneel and worship around the Baitu Pagoda from afar, watch the emperor burn incense and pray for blessings on the nine-story tower.

The emperor pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "He doesn't want to burn the imperial city, he wants to burn me." ”

In fact, it is not difficult to guess, but the idea of burning the imperial city before was preconceived, but I didn't expect that at this level, only the emperor knew that person best, so he could guess.

The prince was a little puzzled, "Why did that person leak all the news, isn't he afraid that the plan will fail?" ”

The emperor said, "Because he is a man of arrogance." ”

"Father, rest assured, his sons will not let him succeed."

The Emperor shook his head, "You don't have to do anything. ”

"Why?" The prince asked strangely.

"He'll give up on his plans."

Seeing the emperor's determined appearance, the prince was a little suspicious, that person had made so many things, the divine tree self-immolation, the two-headed sheep, the robbery of military horses, and the burning of the restaurant, all of which were paving the way for the final plan, how could he give up?

"Why is my father so sure?"

"Everyone has a weakness, and I have caught his weakness."

The prince's eyes lit up, "What is that person's weakness in the hands of the father?" ”

"Alone."

"Who?"

"You'll know then."

Since the emperor was confident, the crown prince didn't ask any more questions, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Father, I heard that Mr. Qian came to you?" ”

"Well," said the Emperor slowly, leaning back in his chair, "he will stay here for a few days, and will not return to the East Palace for the time being." ”

The crown prince was very surprised, "The father left him behind, it is ......"

"He traveled all over the world, and I wanted to hear him say things out there."

As soon as the prince heard it, it was an excuse, he used this excuse to snatch Bai Qianfan from Kun Qingluo, he never let the emperor see Bai Qianfan, he was afraid of this, Bai Qianfan was more like a woman in the portrait than Concubine Lan, he didn't know what the emperor would do to Bai Qianfan?

He wanted to protect Bai Qianfan, but in the hands of the emperor, it was not easy to take it away.

"Father, my son wants to see Mr. Qian, and I have a few words to say to him."

The emperor said indifferently, "If you have any words, I can convey them on your behalf." ”

The prince's heart jumped, and he didn't even let him see him, the emperor imprisoned Bai Qianfan...... No matter how you think about it, it doesn't bode well.

The prince was anxious, but his face was always calm, "Please tell Mr. Qian that the son has found a sheepskin drum for him and is waiting to listen to his drum music." ”

The emperor was a little surprised, "He likes to play drums?" ”

"Yes, when Mr. Qian was in the East Palace, he played the drum almost every day."

The emperor nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile, "Seeing that he is weak in writing, I didn't expect that he likes to play drums." ”

Since he couldn't see Bai Qianfan, the prince didn't stay long, and withdrew with his hands.

——

Ning Shisan stood on the corridor, he was the leader of the royal guards, with unusual acumenity, although he only saw two guards guarding the entrance of the hall not far away, but he knew that this place had been surrounded by copper walls, the wind was moving, people were not moving, and he could even vaguely feel the familiar atmosphere of the same kind.

He didn't know if the emperor had put Bai Qianfan under house arrest to protect her, or if he had other plans, after all, Bai Qianfan was the empress of Dongyue, and the opposition of identities might be an obstacle to their family affection.

He turned around and went back to the house, Bai Qianfan raised his eyes to look at him, Ning Shisan shook his head, "I can't get out." ”

Bai Qianfan lowered her eyes and looked at the embroidered blanket on the ground, soft and thick, her feet were sunk inside, and the plush almost covered the instep, which was completely different from what she imagined to meet, she thought that when she arrived, the emperor would ask her about the empress, and she would be like her, trying to figure out the relationship between each other, but no, the emperor just brought her here, but he left.

There is everything in the room, there is a big camphor wood box on the wall, there are five chests of drawers, there is a dressing table, the dressing table is stacked with beautiful jewelry, the carved bed behind it is also exquisite, and the lotus pink tent hangs on both sides, revealing the red quilt inside. She sat on an embroidered stool, the small round table made of rosewood, which smelled faintly fragrant, with colorful dim sum on the table and steaming milk tea in a large white porcelain pot.

Bai Qianfan looked at it little by little, everywhere was exquisite, the emperor didn't seem to have malicious intentions towards her, but no matter how you look at it, it was like a gorgeous cage here.

She thought to herself, the emperor brought her here temporarily, so this place was not specially prepared for her, but it must be a woman's room, was it the emperor's concubine who once lived?

She looked at the furniture in the house again, her eyes stayed on the wall, where there was a gourd-shaped thing, and her heart jumped, and she immediately walked over and took it down, which she recognized, which was a musical instrument unique to Nanyuan, called gourd silk.

Her heart was pounding, could this be the house where the empress once lived?

She walked to the wall, opened the big camphor wooden box, it was full of gorgeous clothes, and flipped through it casually, most of them were Munda clothes, but she asked her to turn out a Nanyuan tube skirt underneath, the color was a little dull, and it looked like an old thing that had been put away for a long time.

She hugged the skirt and leaned against the box, stunned.
