The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Hearing Qin Yi's words in the emperor's anger, it simply added fuel to the fire. But fortunately, he was a king in the end, and his mind hadn't completely fainted. He understood the significance of this matter, so after a fire broke out, the emperor alone brought Qin Yi to the Palace of Qianqing to speak.

It stands to reason that this is the emperor talking with Qin Yi, father and son, and the courtiers. The others are not allowed or qualified to participate. However, the emperor glanced at Chu Jinyao before he walked forward, and suddenly said, "Come along with the princess."

Chu Jinyao wants to go together, and Empress Xiaoqi is of course not to be outdone. Xiao Qi is extremely confident in his plan, but it is a matter of his own body, what can be more assured than watching it on the spot?

When he arrived at the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor looked at Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao for a while and asked, "Let's talk about it, what's going on?"

The emperor is not stupid, he just doesn't want to listen to those empty words.

Qin Yi was not polite, and said directly: "This Taoist used sprites to pretend to be gods and ghosts. The so-called green fire is actually just a special phenomenon. The emperor should remember that the fire on the court lady's skirt was also blue in the previous Xi Nei. "

In fact, the emperor had no impression. When performing the dance, all his attention was on the beauty. After an accident happened, the emperor was immediately surrounded by ministers, eunuchs, and guards, remembering these corners and corners there. Hearing Qin Yi's words today, he vaguely recalled that this was indeed the case at the time. The emperor nodded slightly and said, "I know, you continue to say."

Qin Yi didn't care whether the emperor really knew, and he continued: "Wang Mingci can use this kind of alien technique to pretend to be a ghost, and the previous palace maids can naturally too. The flame on that woman should be the same thing as today."

After Xiao Qi heard this, he couldn’t sit still: “The prince’s guess is really interesting, but all of us have seen it. Today Wang Daochang ignited the talisman and used a peach wood sword, and then the prince took out something and also used a golden hairpin. My palace doesn’t understand what this is, but following my guess, it should be what kind of primer is needed to ignite this thing. But everyone saw the situation in Sinai that day. The palace lady was turning around and suddenly a fire broke out. No one, Anything that touches her is obviously different from today's situation."

"Is it the same? Just call Jin Yiwei and ask." Qin Yi ignored Xiao Qi's queen, but instructed the people outside the hall, "Go to prison and call for someone to come over."

Xiao Qi's eyebrows jumped. Speaking of Xiao Qi, it's really bad luck recently, as if good luck is beginning to run out. She originally planned the fire of the dancer in Tsing Yi carefully, and made an effort to say that the different fire from the sky was the failure of the East Palace to persuade the emperor to leave one more prince in Beijing for future troubles. Unexpectedly, the emperor still didn't plan to change people. After Xiao Qi gave up so much energy, except for allowing Qin Yi to rest for a few more days, he didn't get anything. After Xiao Qi's teeth were itchy, she couldn't make a plan for another plan. She contacted Wang Mingci and planned to move Qin Yi out of the Ciqing Palace today and plant a cronie next to the emperor. Unexpectedly, Wang Mingci was dismantled by Qin Yi on the spot, Xiaoqi's plan fell through, and he also suffered a disadvantage of referrals. After two consecutive shots failed, Xiao Qi already felt very unlucky, but Qin Yi even planned to turn over the old accounts. The dancing girl's matter has passed. At this moment, Xiao Qi didn't want them to sprout.

After Xiao Qi glanced at Qin Yi, he chuckled softly: "The prince is so prestigious. The palace remembers that this court lady has a plot to be unruly and is suspected of an assassin. The emperor did not speak for such a serious case. , If you say arraignment, arraignment.

Empress Xiao Qi is really a good hand at provoking discord, and now he has reached a point. Jin Yiwei is the emperor's mouthpiece, and Qin Yi's influence in Jin Yiwei is not weak. It is indeed not difficult for him to ask Jin Yiwei to interrogate a few people. Although Qin Yi's purpose was to find out the truth, in the eyes of the emperor, it might be the opposite. Xiao Qi also specially reminded the emperor of this. It was really annoying but could not be killed like a fly.

The emperor still sat firmly on the head, without any clues on his face. But I don't know if it was Chu Jinyao's illusion, the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace slowly solidified.

Qin Yi's face was cold and solemn, and he was obviously bored with his little aunt. If it was normal, Qin Yi would inevitably choke on the next few words, and while venting himself, he also went around to dispel the emperor's suspicion. It's just that doing so is only hurting the enemy one thousand and eight hundred, because Qin Yi's impression of the emperor is getting worse and worse because he always clashes with Xiao Qi at this juncture. But this was already the best way. Qin Yi was about to speak when he suddenly noticed that his sleeve was being pulled.

Qin Yi moved in his heart, resisting what he wanted to say, and gave Chu Jinyao the opportunity to speak.

Empress Xiaoqi buzzes like a fly. People may not dare to scold her, but Qin Yi never gives the empress face. Being openly stunned, Xiao Qi did lose a share, but it also gave her a poor opportunity to buy her. This is a woman's trap, and it should be handed over to a woman to deal with it.

Chu Jinyao smiled gently and tenderly, and then said to the emperor: "The emperor, since the incident in Sinai, His Royal Highness has not been able to sleep well these days. He was so brood about the day and danced well. Why did it catch fire suddenly? This time it was only on fire. What if I replaced it with a firearm next time? Although the prince didn’t say anything, he was worried about the emperor’s safety in his heart, so after returning from Sinai, he has been working hard. Investigate the matter of the day. My concubine also feels that this matter involves your majesty’s safety, so it should be more attentive, but is it impossible to investigate this?"

Empress Xiao Qi's reliance was nothing more than the emperor's trust, so Chu Jinyao didn't bother to talk to Empress Xiao Qi. She pointed the finger at the emperor as soon as she came up. The emperor is always kind in the name of a woman, not to mention that this is his own daughter-in-law, who has always been quiet and elegant, completely different from his own **** son. The emperor had a very good impression of Chu Jinyao. Now that Chu Jinyao speaks, the emperor is also saving face: "This is Jin Yiwei's internal affairs. Since the prince has doubts, he will be arraigned, which is nothing."

Chu Jinyao let out a long sigh of relief, and said to the emperor, "That's good. Just now the empress said this, the concubine thought we were doing something wrong."

Although Qin Yi felt that Chu Jinyao's remarks just now were a bit numb, it was beyond rebuttal. Chu Jinyao's words helped himself. Since this is the case, Qin Yi also said: "The emperor does not blame the children for advocating for adeptness. Come, call the Jinyiwei who is in charge of this matter."

With Chu Jinyao's buffer, the emperor agreed to Qin Yi's arrangement. Empress Xiao Qi never expected that there would be such a day. She had always been controlling the emperor before, so that others had nothing to say, and Qin Yi suffered a dark loss. How could Empress Xiaoqi think that one day she would feel the same taste. She was so fierce that she looked at Chu Jinyao with sharp and sinister eyes.

When Chu Jinyaoquan couldn't see herself, she and the queen would have such a day sooner or later, and now taking advantage of the east wind, it is not a loss to hit the queen.

After Jin Yiwei came, he submitted a confession. The court lady was re-examined several times, and the confession was repeated over and over again. She didn't know anything about the fire, only the dance skirt was accidentally cut the day before. At this time, there was obviously no time to make new ones, so she had to ask someone to repair the skirt. However, she also knew the importance of the matter. She was watching on the spot when another court lady made up her dress. Everything was normal. The lady who performed the dance really didn't know what was going on.

From the confession, it seems that there is no problem. The emperor is very inexplicable: "What are you trying to say? What does this have to do with today?"

After Xiao Qi lowered his head and drank a sip of tea, he also raised his head and smiled: "Isn't it? We all saw that that day, no wooden swords or golden hairpins touched her, and there was no open fire on the ship. Except for the warning from the sky. , Who else can set a person on fire out of thin air?"

This matter, I am afraid that Wang Mingci, who brought out the things, is also not clear about it. Wang Mingci still wanted to heat the wooden sword and ignite the hoarfrost-like particles with the heat of the sword tip. How did Xiao Qi put fire on a court lady out of thin air in the public?

Qin Yi did not reply, but directly ordered: "Come up with that dress."

The things taken out of the imprisonment naturally cannot be presented to the emperor, queen, crown prince and other noble couples in the world, waiting for Jin Yiwei to take the evidence and come up, under the porch of Qianqing Palace, a group of court ladies follow Qin Yi's instructions , Took apart the remaining skirt little by little, and sure enough some powder came out.

After Xiao Qi saw the powder, his face finally changed.

"This is when another court lady sews the dancer's skirt in front of her face when she re-sews the clothes that day. According to their words, these are all spices, all for the sake of the dance that day. It is indeed mixed with spices, only But more, there is shell powder."

The **** stood far away holding the powder, and an imperial doctor was called from afar. So he picked the powder tremblingly, not knowing it, smelling it and rubbing it, and finally came to a conclusion: "Return to the queen, the empress, to the prince Your Royal Highness, the princess, in addition to the common spices, it is indeed mixed with shell powder. In addition, there is still a person who can't identify it."

The one picked out by the old lady was a strange fire particle that had only been demonstrated not long ago. The emperor’s memory was not so bad. He recognized this thing and was a little angry: "What the **** is going on?"

Qin Yi didn't mean to speak at all, and the imperial physician was even more confused and trembling when he was questioned. Chu Jinyao couldn't see it, and asked, "Doctor, since this shell powder is not a spice, why is it mixed in these powders? Is it contraindicated to use it?"

The imperial physician knew: "I give it to the princess, the shell powder is to burn the shells and turn them into powder. It has no purpose. Just be careful not to mix it in the water, otherwise it will boil and you may be burned."

"So avoid water." Chu Jinyao smiled, and put the most crucial sentence in front of the emperor.

"In order to please the master, the minions of Xi Nei hid two little eunuchs on the boat on the day of the dance. They quietly splashed water while the dancers were turning in circles to create a feeling of hibiscus in the clear water. This kind of small stones was burnt with gold. The hairpin will ignite when touched, and if the shell powder gets hot when exposed to water, it is enough to ignite and cause it to catch fire." Qin Yi understates like closing the net, but presses every step of the way, connecting all these things together, "Dancing girl the day before. Someone put a special fragrance powder in the skirt, and the next day, the **** on the ship poured water on the dancer according to the previously stated method, and the dancer’s skirt was ignited, and she was panicked. Jumping into the water, on the contrary, encouraged the different fire, which is why she jumped into the water and the fire was not extinguished immediately. Later, it was spread in the palace that the Tsing Yi dancers caught fire in the daytime, and they were not extinguished in the water. This is a rumor that the sky fire is coming. Then someone else mentioned that the woman in Tsing Yi was on fire. It was God who warned the Donggong to lose morality."

Qin Yi talked only here, the emperor was just coveting pleasure, but he was not stupid. How could he not see the interlocking links and the obvious traps.

After Qin Yi was impeached, Xiao Qi immediately proposed to find a Taoist priest to enter the palace to exorcise evil spirits. It happened that the person she recommended was Wang Mingci, who happened to ask Qin Yi to move to a place.

The emperor closed his eyes, his mind was mixed, and he didn't know who to listen to.

Xiao Qihou's face was already pale, she knew that something was wrong when she removed her skirt, but she couldn't stop it. After that, the imperial doctor asked the imperial doctor to explain the taboo of shell powder. Qin Yi restored all this. Empress Xiao Qi was anxious, but could not do anything. The emperor was sitting here. What excuse could she use to silence Qin Yi?

"The emperor..." Xiao Qi's queen called out with a pale face, and now she can only deny it desperately. Empress Xiao Qi is indeed the most suspicious candidate, but she has already dealt with all the insiders. Even if the emperor and Qin Yi both doubted her, they had no evidence. Xiao Qi didn’t care about being in front of Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao. She stood up, softened her figure and bowed to the emperor: “The concubine knows that the emperor and the prince are suspicious of the concubine, but the concubine’s body is true, and she has never done it. These things. Concubine as a woman, how can you come up with such a complicated plan? Even if you hear the prince say, you are confused. If the emperor still doesn't believe in the concubine, you can check it out, the maid who sews clothes. , Or Wang Mingci, see if they have concubine hands and feet. The emperor, the concubine has been with you for more than ten years and gave birth to an emperor and a princess. You know what a concubine is like! You can’t Such a wronged concubine!"

After Xiao Qi said it, he burst into tears, his slap-big face was covered with tears, looking at Chu Chu pitifully. This scene is not suitable for outsiders, Chu Jinyao lowered her head, Qin Yi also looked away. Empress Xiaoqi cried poorly, and the emperor finally softened his heart and said, "You all go out. I will send someone to investigate this matter."

This is to prevent Qin Yi from interfering. Chu Jinyao was dissatisfied, but lowered his head without revealing his expression. Qin Yi looked at the same calm. The two of them gave a resignation ceremony, and then walked out of the Palace of the Qing Dynasty side by side. Following the actions of Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao, the other palace members of the Qianqing Palace also silently retreated.

After returning to Ciqing Palace, Chu Jinyao finally couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness, is this the end of this matter?"

"Probably it is." Qin Yi seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled pointedly, his tone was ironic, "He checked it himself, and he could find out something."

Qin Yi was very clear about his son’s father’s handling methods and personality traits. The emperor came to investigate this matter himself, and he would surely be unable to find out anything. Besides, after Xiao Qi cried, he might have forgotten to continue. checked.

After Chu Jinyao heard it, she couldn't speak for quite a while: "That's how it is? The queen showed so many feet and did so many vicious things to you, does the emperor leave it alone?"

Qin Yi didn't expect Chu Jinyao to be so angry. He wondered: "What's wrong with you, so angry?"

Chu Jinyao endured it for a long time, but still felt what it was like: "I will not accept it for you."

Qin Yi laughed. He suddenly remembered that Chu Jinyao was beaten by Mrs. Chu a long time ago. Chu Jinyao was nothing but he was so angry. Probably many things in this world are like this. The person concerned doesn't care, but the person who cares is not angry.

Thinking of this, Qin Yi's heart softened, and the smile on his lips became softer: "You are just like a child, how old you are, and you are still thinking about unfairness."

Chu Jinyao looked up suspiciously, and saw Qin Yi squinting his eyes slightly, like a hunting tiger, smiling surely and dangerously: "Only children think about fairness, and the political arena only cares about interests. What's more, The queen has already paid the worst price."

Xiao Qi's hands and feet were indeed clean. Maybe the emperor and Qin Yi could not find evidence of her instructions. However, this is the ridiculous thing about Empress Xiaoqi. If an emperor is suspicious, will he tell you the evidence? For many years, the emperor regarded Xiao Qi as a confidant, because he trusted Xiao Qi, so he was willing to say anything to Xiao Qi. Unfortunately, after this incident, Xiao Qi's trust in the emperor's heart will be compromised.

The closer the person is, the less able to tolerate the deception of the other party. The foundation of trust after Xiao Qi is shaken, this is the biggest gain this time. Even if Xiao Qi is unscathed, Qin Yi is not a child, and he will say that he must be punished for doing something wrong. The emperor owes him justice. Since the emperor can’t give it, wouldn’t he take it himself?

When Chu Jinyao saw Qin Yi's expression, she knew that he hadn't taken these things to heart at all. He doesn't care about fairness, which is naturally a very mature idea, but Chu Jinyao is inexplicably distressed. In addition to being a monarch, the emperor is also Qin Yi's father.

How did Qin Yi spend his youth? Chu Jinyao feels distressed whenever he thinks of this, Qin Yi quickly calculated the next power layout, but after the wrong work of the gods, Chu Jinyao's face was depressed. Qin Yi was surprised. He pulled the person over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Chu Jinyao said dullly, "I just thought it would be nice if I knew you earlier."

Qin Yi didn't expect that she was thinking about this, he couldn't help but stunned. He didn't care about the past experiences at all, but he didn't expect that another person would remember it in his heart, and even depressed for him. He slowly hugged the person tightly, his heart was agitated, but he couldn't say a word. Qin Yi hugged quietly for a while, Chu Jinyao didn't bother, just turned back and hugged his waist.

The two sat there for a while, and Qin Yi asked, "You have done a great job this time. I haven't asked yet, how did you know how to make that kind of alien fire particles?"

Chu Jinyao sighed softly: "It was the queen who sent me Liangyi ointment. I remembered the stupid things I had made when I was a child, and then I thought about it. Before I was five years old, I was very skinny. I ran wildly outside all day, once. My playmate and I didn’t know what to think of. We heated the urine with sand and stone, and finally made a wax-like thing. I tried to light it, and found that the light of this kind of thing was very strange. It made us all I was scared away, so I remember it very strongly. I always felt that the flames on the dancers’ dresses were very familiar. When I was reminded that day, I remembered, isn’t this what we played when we were young."

"Wait a minute." Qin Yi did not question this strange substance, but was more interested in another thing. "Why did you think of playing with this thing when you were young?" It turned out that urine and sand were heated together. do what?

The author has something to say:

That's right, this is how the dangerous drug white phosphorus is made. All of the above are from Baidu. I have not tried it. If there is a crossing accident, I will not be responsible.

In addition, the shell will turn into calcium oxide after being burned hard, which is the famous quicklime in the rivers and lakes. It shouldn’t be necessary to elaborate on the equation that quicklime heats up when it meets water, and because quicklime turns into calcium hydroxide when it meets water, alkali can remove oil, so some people used this whitening method in ancient times.

Oh my goodness, I seem to be doing a chemistry problem...

One last note: The plan to ignite white phosphorous by using exothermic reaction only exists in theory, and it is not practical whether it is actually feasible, and I don't want to practice it. See you tomorrow~
