Chapter 806 Will You Hit Me?

The cause of the fire was finally found to be that a drunk guest accidentally pushed over a candle. The guest fell asleep after getting drunk and did not notice that the candlelight had ignited the bed curtains.

The furniture and structures in the house were all made of wood, and the fire spread quickly.

By the time someone noticed something was wrong, the fire was already very big.

The crowd had no time to put out the fire and rushed out. As a result, only some people near the door escaped, and the rest were trapped in Xixiang Pavilion.

Finally, the fire was put out after government officials arrived at the scene.

As for the drunk guest who accidentally caused the fire, he had already died in the fire, leaving only a charred corpse that was burnt beyond recognition.

The whole case looked like an ordinary accident.

But Luo Qinghan knew in his heart that these were just appearances.

But if it was really just an accident, why did Hongguo Guild happen to be there? This was too much of a coincidence.

Luo Qinghan never believed that there were pure coincidences in this world.

All coincidences, when analyzed, actually have deeper reasons.

The most important point about this fire is why Duke Hong went to Xixiang Pavilion on the night of the Lantern Festival?

Luo Qinghan asked Jingzhao Prefecture to continue investigating the case and emphasized this.

"Normally, people don't go to brothels alone, especially people like Duke Hong. If he goes there to have a feast, he will definitely be accompanied by someone. Can you check who was having a feast with Duke Hong that night?"

If we can find that person, maybe we can know the reason why Duke Hong went to Xixiang Pavilion.

Mei Guangtao bowed in response.

The deadline for the storybook competition has arrived.

Xiao Xixi has been staying in Yunxiu Palace every day reading storybooks recently. Concubine Li and Concubine Yao would come to borrow some storybooks from time to time.

It was not known whether it was bad luck or what, but every time Concubine Li picked a story about a heroine being physically and mentally abused by a scumbag. She gritted her teeth every time she read it, wishing she could reach into the storybook and strangle the scumbag to death. However, the heroines in the stories were all dodders, who had no idea how to resist and only knew how to accept it. They were abused to death and ultimately met with a tragic ending.

Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and decided to write a story herself.

Her story has only one theme -

That means to torture the scumbag in return!

Since she couldn't reach into the storybook and strangle those scumbags to death, she would just write them all to death in the storybook!

She stayed up all night to finish writing a short film script.

After waking up from a nap, she admired the storybook she had written. The more she read it, the better it became. At least it was much better than those stories where the heroine was tortured to death by scumbag men.

Concubine Li was not satisfied with appreciating the book alone, so she specially called Concubine Yao and asked her to take a look at the book as well.

Yao Jieyu finished reading the script in one breath and said it was very interesting.

Especially when the heroine in the article counterattacks and slaps the scumbag in the face, it feels the best!

Yao Jieyu urged, "Since you have already written the storybook, it would be a waste to leave it alone. Why don't you participate in the storybook competition? Maybe you can win first place."

Princess Li's heart moved.

She doesn't care about the bonus, but she wants her story to be recognized by more people.

Since you're free anyway, you might as well find something to do.

So, Concubine Li went to Yunxiu Palace again and gave the script she had written to the Imperial Concubine.

Xiao Xixi was very surprised to learn that Concubine Li was going to participate in the storytelling competition.

"Can you write storybooks?"

Concubine Li was very confident: "I have read so many novels, but it was not in vain. I have learned a little bit."

Xiao Xixi sighed: "I have also read a lot of storybooks, but I am not as diligent as you. You are really amazing."

Princess Li became even more proud.

She likes the feeling of being recognized and praised.

Xiao Xixi immediately read the script she had written and nodded continuously.

"Not bad, not bad, it's well written. You can leave the script here. I'll have someone notify you when the results of the competition are announced."

Concubine Li bowed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Your Majesty."

This evening, Luo Qinghan returned to Yunxiu Palace and saw Xiao Xixi staring at the storybook intently.

He walked over silently and sat down next to Xiao Xixi.

Baoqin served the tea and snacks respectfully.

Xiao Xixi stuffed pastries into her mouth while reading a book attentively, without even looking up at Luo Qinghan.

Luo Qinghan didn't like the feeling of being ignored by her.

He raised his hand and knocked on the table.

When Xiao Xixi heard the noise, she finally took her eyes off the book.

She looked up and saw His Majesty the Emperor sitting next to her.

Luo Qinghan: "What are you looking at? You were so absorbed in it that you didn't even notice I was here."

Xiao Xixi frowned and looked distressed.

She is now reading a particularly bloody story.

The general content is about a tyrannical prince who seizes a commoner girl by force. The commoner girl remains loyal and unyielding, but in the end she is forced to become the prince's concubine due to the situation. She then becomes pregnant three times and has three miscarriages. The two have all kinds of love-hate entanglements, but in the end they have a miraculous happy ending.

Xiao Xixi happened to see the heroine having her third miscarriage, this time caused by a slap from the overbearing prince.

Xiao Xixi couldn't help but touch her belly, feeling sad.

"If I get pregnant, will you beat me?"

Luo Qinghan: ???

His eyes involuntarily fell on Xiao Xixi's belly.

If you look closely, there does seem to be a slight bulge.

Baoqin, who was standing nearby, was startled at first, then overjoyed.

Is the Imperial Concubine finally pregnant? !

Ever since the imperial concubine entered the palace, the emperor has stayed at her place almost every night. She is the only one favored by the emperor, so logically she should have been pregnant a long time ago, but strangely, there has been no sign of pregnancy so far.

Many people in the palace were gossiping privately, saying that the imperial concubine might be unable to give birth.

Baoqin was also a little worried, fearing that the imperial concubine was unable to have children.

I didn’t expect the good news to come so soon!

Before she could be happy for long, she heard the emperor ask quietly.

"Whose child is it?"

Baoqin was so frightened that her face turned pale and she almost fainted.

What does the emperor mean by this?

Did he suspect the imperial concubine of being unfaithful? !

Just as she was about to kneel down to defend the imperial concubine, she heard the imperial concubine burp loudly.

"Hiccup! There's no child. I'm just too full."

Baoqin: “…”

She couldn't help but reveal an expression of doubt about life.

Why was she so surprised? And why was she so frightened?

It was as if all my emotions were fed to the dogs.

Luo Qinghan didn't seem surprised by this answer.

He said calmly, "Don't worry, if you really have a child, I will definitely not be willing to touch you."

Xiao Xixi recalled the plot in the storybook and continued to ask: "What if I run with the ball?"
