Chapter 2086 The Shangyi Bureau Leaked
Within two or three days, five steward aunts disappeared or died inexplicably.
The harem was enveloped in a thick atmosphere of uneasiness and terror.
The New Year atmosphere was swept away.
When Yun Dai was seriously ill, how could the stewards in the harem resist the Empress Dowager.
After five or six people died, the remaining dozen wanted to see the Queen, but they couldn't. In order to save their lives, they could only temporarily surrender to the Empress Dowager and pretend to obey her.
Only Qi Xiao refused to obey.
The Shangyi Bureau she was in charge of was an important part of the Sixth Bureau. The Empress Dowager was still unable to control the Shangyi Bureau, and how could she not feel angry.
After several attempts, she lost patience.
On the night of the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Qi Xiao was sleeping when he suddenly heard a call from outside.
"It's gone wrong. The Shangyi Bureau has gone wrong. Someone needs to come quickly!"
Qi Xiao was confused for a moment. When he heard the word "Zhuishui", his whole body was agitated and he suddenly woke up.
She jumped up in a hurry, grabbed her cotton-padded jacket, put it on, and ran out.
The little maid who was waiting for her also came out in a panic.
In the direction of the Shangyi Bureau, flames shot into the sky.
Qi Xiao's brain exploded.
The Clothing Bureau stores countless precious fabrics and various clothes.
If this all burns down...
She didn't dare to think about it, turned pale, and ran towards the Shangyi Department as hard as she could.
Sure enough, there is a fire here.
The clothing bureau was filled with fabrics and needlework, which burned extremely quickly.
"Master, what should I do?" the palace maid said with a trembling cry.
Many palace maids and eunuchs had already rushed over, carrying buckets of water and trying to put out the fire.
"That batch of gold and silver threads!"
Qi Xiao thought of the large number of golden threads that had just arrived and immediately ran towards the door.
The palace maid hugged her and said, "Master, you can't go!"
"Let me go, whatever you can save is worth it!" Qi Xiao burst into tears, "Do you know how much all the things in here are worth together? There are also new clothes for the new year for the empress and the young highnesses... …”
The palace maid also started to cry: "No matter what, it doesn't matter. Life is so big, you can't get out if you go in!"
She hugged Qi Xiao's waist tightly and refused to let her in.
At this time there was a roar.
The door of the Clothing Department collapsed.
It's over.
Qi Xiao slumped to the ground, looking at the burning Shangyi Bureau in front of him, crying loudly.
The fire was not extinguished until morning.
But there is nothing left.
The entire Shangyi Bureau was burned to the ground.
Qi Xiao sat dumbly in front of the ruins, wanting to cry but without tears.
"Qishang Palace."
An old eunuch came over and said in a sharp voice, "If you have caused such a big trouble, you must be given an explanation in front of the Queen Mother and ancestors."
Qi Xiao turned to look at him, got up, her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was hoarse: "I want to apologize, and I also go to the Queen."
Although she is honest and honest, she is not really a fool.
She probably knew in her heart, how could the Shangyi Bureau catch fire for no reason?
In all likelihood, it is related to the Empress Dowager.
In the past few days, the Empress Dowager's people had been trying to get her to seek refuge with the Empress Dowager, but she had rejected them all.
did not expect……
The Queen Mother did such a vicious thing.
Qi Xiao felt that she was really stupid and incompetent.
The empress is ill, but she can't even keep a clothing store.
She betrayed the Queen's trust.
The old eunuch smiled sinisterly and said: "The Queen is seriously ill and needs to rest. Do you dare to disturb her? You'd better come with our family. As long as you make it clear to your ancestors, nothing will happen. Qishang Palace, let's go Bar?"
