Chapter 3097 The First Assassin: The Ascetic Prince’s Strategy (48)

The flowers are still colorful and in full bloom. But Luo Qingchen always felt that these words were too charming, but she couldn't tell what the difference was.

"This slave has seen the queen -" Aunt Mu seemed a little nervous when she saw her again. She knelt down and leaned over and said: "The queen is safe."

Luo Qingchen naturally recognized Aunt Mu, but did not ask any questions. She just walked forward and said, "The flowers are blooming very well recently."

A palace maid appeared out of nowhere and said: "Queen Qi, this is all the work of Aunt Mu. She really knows flowers very well. In order to allow the queen to see more beautiful flowers, Aunt Mu has done a lot." s hard work."

"Don't talk too much in front of your Majesty." Aunt Mu gave her a stern look and said: "I know that what I did before was not good enough, which made my Majesty unhappy. I really love and understand flowers, and I hope that I will do it to my Majesty." Don’t chase your slaves away…”

When she said the last word, her voice trembled slightly.

Luo Qingchen half-squinted her eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

According to the past, she would definitely help her up and let her stay in the imperial garden to take care of the flowers and plants.

But there seemed to be a voice in her heart that kept telling her: don't... don't... don't...

Probably because Aunt Mu had been kneeling for too long, all the maids around her showed doubtful expressions.

They didn't know why we had to make Aunt Mu kneel, but they didn't dare to ask.

"Get up first." Luo Qingchen trembled slightly and said, "Man'er, give Aunt Mu a hundred taels of silver as a settlement fee and send her out of the palace."

"Hiss—" Everyone present took a breath.

One hundred taels of silver is definitely not a small amount for ordinary people. How could He De, a nun who takes care of the flowers and plants in the royal garden, get such a reward.

"This... empress..."

"Do as I say." Luo Qingchen frowned and said, "I have felt this way before, and it was not a good feeling."

She couldn't tell what was wrong with Aunt Mu, but the feeling that something was wrong became stronger when she saw her again.

The figure kneeling on the ground was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your grace."

She did not refuse, but made Luo Qingchen breathe a sigh of relief.

After half a year, nothing happened. Maybe she really thought too much.

But is this really the case? The night when Aunt Mu was supposed to leave the palace, she disappeared.

No one knew where she had gone, and no one could find her.

Also that night, the entire Forbidden City was engulfed in flames. Luo Qingchen was surrounded by fire before she could even run from Suhe Palace to Taihe Palace.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... there are fires everywhere, what should I do if there are fires everywhere..." Man'er's voice rang in her ears. She almost didn't have time to think, and rushed to the center of the fire field, using teleportation to reach Murong Ci's side. At this time, he was also surrounded by fire.

"Qingchen, Qingchen...cough cough cough cough..." Murong Ci hugged her in his arms and said, "Why are you here? I'll protect you...you go first."

"It's too late -" Luo Qingchen shook her head and said: "The entire palace was full of fire. The fire spread so fast that there was no time to get water to put out the fire."

Is it her? Is it that Aunt Mu? How on earth did she do it?

Could it be...that they are flowers from the Royal Garden?

"Bang -" Just as Luo Qingchen was deep in thought, a piece of wood from the ceiling fell down, blocking the exit.
