"You have to save me." Li Mulan said,"My mouth was bitten by you, so you must save me."”She looked pitiful again.
Long Jun Hao smiled noncommittally. He really wanted to help her with all his might, but he had a lot of other choices today. She was just a lowly palace maid. How could he protect her? What did Li Mulan mean to him?
Not good! Fire! Someone come quickly! Not good! The vicinity of Clear Spring Palace is on fire! The two guards outside the royal study heard it and felt that no one was paying attention here, so they went over to help.
Li Mulan sniffed and said,""I'm really hungry. I think I smell something burning. Did the imperial kitchen burn it?”
Long Jun Hao also smelled the burning smell. He looked up and saw smoke seeping in from the roof. He said in shock,""Not good, what happened!" He carefully listened and his heart tightened."Which palace is on fire? Come, let's go!”he urged.
Li Mulan walked to the door without hesitation and opened it.""Eh, why can't I pull it?"
Long Jun Hao stepped forward and pushed and pulled, but the door still didn't budge,""Damn it, I've been locked up!" He knocked on the door and shouted, Is there anyone outside? Where are the guards? Someone, there's someone inside!" He turned around and saw that the smoke was getting thicker.
After a while, sparks jumped in and landed on the book, instantly igniting a small flame.
"What's that? Why did it burn up on its own?" Before Li Mulan could figure out the situation, he clapped his hands and said,""Hehe, it's so beautiful, so beautiful!”
"Idiot!" Long Junhao couldn't help but scold her,"Look clearly, there's a fire here." The fire must have spread to the royal study.”
"Then what should we do?" Li Mulan tried to push the door open again.”
"Through the window." Long Jun Hao made a prompt decision, but when he reached the window, he realized that this path would not work. Because the windows had been sealed shut.
A few years ago, someone tried to steal the books in the palace. Although they did not succeed, they shocked the entire palace. After that, all the windows of the royal study were sealed shut. The light came from the sun and the skylight. The skylight was not big, so very few people could enter, unless it was a four or five-year-old child.
Li Mulan looked at the high roof and said," Let's go to the roof!”
As he was speaking, the flames in the royal study suddenly grew bigger and bigger. In just a moment, almost all the books were on fire. Thick smoke billowed, and the flames had already become flames that could swallow people.
Long Jun Hao covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and said in a muffled voice,""Don't be afraid. We must think of a way to get out.”He looked up and down. Since the door was locked and the roof was filled with smoke, he could only escape down.
Seeing that he was staring at the ground, Li Mulan panicked.""I don't want to die yet. Think of a way.”She didn't dare to look back. The heat wave was already approaching her.
Long Jun Hao suddenly remembered that there used to be a tunnel here that led to the imperial garden at the back. He didn't know if it was still there. Therefore, he used his feet to chop the ground, trying to find clues.
Li Mulan almost fainted from the heat and said to Long Junhao,""I can't. I feel uncomfortable." She had difficulty breathing.
Long Jun Hao kissed her without hesitation, giving him his own breath. But the moment he breathed, a strong feeling of suffocation immediately swept over him. He didn't dare to delay and knocked on the door again,""Someone, open the door! There's someone in the royal study!”
Finally, footsteps sounded from outside. It turned out that the two guards from before were running at the front, and then more people rushed over. But the worst thing was that the key was taken away by the guards who came later. The scene was chaotic and they could not find anyone at all.
Zhao Meiru and the palace maids also rushed over. "Who's inside?" Qin Mingyu asked anxiously.”
"It's the Third Prince and a little palace maid. It seems to be a silly palace maid.”One of the guards was on the verge of tears.
"What are you panicking for? Hurry up and use your swords to cut the lock," said Qin Mingyu.”
"Yes, don't hesitate. If you hesitate any longer, something big will happen.”Zhao Meiru's heart was burning with anxiety as she watched the two guards charge forward. She said,"Everyone, listen up. This is Qian Mingzhu's sole act and has nothing to do with the Myriad Intellect Palace.”
"Yes, Chief." All the palace maids knew that if something happened to the Third Prince, their lives would be in danger.
The two guards hacked at the lock with all their might, one at a time, one at a time, in a hurry. Finally, the lock was broken. When the door opened, everyone saw the Third Prince and a palace maid lying unconscious on the ground. The palace maid was pressed under the prince, and the prince was pressed down by the horizontal wood that fell from above.
"Third Prince! Third Prince!" Everyone panicked and shouted for the Third Prince.
Long Junhao had blocked the cross bar for Li Mulan at the last moment and was unconscious.
At this moment, even more people rushed over. There was the Empress, the Crown Prince Consort, and Shu Consort. The scene was chaotic. The masters were all confused, and the palace maids and internal supervisors were all frightened. Especially Consort Shu Meng Ru Liu. When she noticed that her son was with a palace maid, her face immediately turned ashen.
The imperial physician quickly rushed over and treated the Third Prince, but he turned a deaf ear to the palace maids.
Xia Mingzhen rushed over when she heard the news. She saw Ming Zhu lying alone on the ground with a dark face. She could not bear it and knelt down to beg,"Ladies, this servant begs you to save her!"”
Zhao Meiru couldn't keep her face and said,"Are you crazy? Hurry up and leave, this servant has no right to speak here.”She turned to the gloomy empress.”
"Fortunately, the fire has already been extinguished, so don't alarm the emperor.”"Who's that palace maid with the smoke on her face?" Zhou Yujiao asked Zhao Meiru. How dare she let the prince protect her?”
Meng Ru Liu hurriedly clarified,"Sister Empress, don't think about it the wrong way. It's just a coincidence."?Hao 'er was kind by nature, and it was a righteous act for him to be injured because of a palace maid.”She felt upset.
"Replying to the Empress," Zhao Meiru continued,"she is just an insignificant maid. When the Third Prince wakes up, you can ask him for the reason."”
"Why are you still asking? He's just a fool. Sigh, let everyone disperse.”Zhou Yujiao wished that one of the princes would die, so that she would have one less competitor to compete with the Crown Prince. "Imperial physician, how is the Third Prince's condition?"”
This was also what Meng Ru Liu was most concerned about. However, because the Empress was present, she could not overpower the host. Even if it was her son who was injured, she still had to endure it.
The imperial physician was Chen Guanghan, thirty-eight years old. His medical skills were superb and his aura was extraordinary. He had already checked the Third Prince's wound and said to the masters,"Empress niangniang, Shu fei niangniang, crown prince consort niangniang, the third prince is disturbed by the smoke and has an injury on his back. After the wound is bandaged, he needs to rest for a few days.”
"Why isn't he awake yet?" Meng Ru Liu asked.
"Consort Shu, please be at ease. The Third Prince is injured in his back and fainted due to the intense pain. When he returns to the Martial Cultivation Hall, he will wake up in less than two hours. This humble subject is willing to pay attention to the Third Prince's movements at all times.”
"Consort Shu, return to the Martial Cultivation Hall with the Imperial Physician.”the Empress said.
Meng Ru Liu was more than happy to do so. She returned to the Third Prince's chambers with Imperial Physician Chen and the others.
After everyone left, Chu Yiyi said,""Mother, this Third Prince is truly blessed. Even if he didn't die like this, even the heavens were on his side.”
"Pui, which side are you standing on?”Zhou Yujiao glared at the Crown Princess.
Chu Yiyi immediately stopped talking.
Zhou Yujiao looked at the ground and said to Zhao Meiru,"Zhao Meiru, I'll leave this palace maid to you. If you die, then let it be done hastily, but if you are alive, BenGong believes that you will deal with it impartially.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Meiru nodded.”
"Bengong wants to go to Clear Spring Palace, let's go.”Zhou Yujiao said.
The palace maids and inner supervisors saluted,"Farewell to the Empress and the Crown Princess."”
Xia Mingzhen watched as her masters left and knelt beside Zhao Meiru."Lord Chief, please do me a favor and let Ming Zhu take a look.”
"Do you want to kill the leader?" Qin Mingyu said to Mingzhen,"You're not Mingzhu's biological sister. Let her fend for herself."
"No, we can't leave her alone," Mingzhen cried. After all, they were all palace maids. They couldn't leave her alone.”
"Mingzhen, you are also a sensible palace maid. Why are you so muddle-headed? You heard the Empress's order. Whoever dares to disobey it will be sentenced to death. Don't you understand this?”
"That's right, Mingzhen, forget it.”a palace maid said.
"Mingzhen, the life of a palace maid is worthless. Now that Qian Mingzhu has offended the Third Prince, she will lose her life at any moment. You'd better give up on the idea of saving her.”She bowed to Zhao Meiru." Chief, this servant will take her leave. This servant has to go do something."”
"Go, all of you go do your things. Just now, the Empress already said that all of you should disperse.”"Men, carry Qian Mingzhu back. Whether she lives or dies depends on her luck."”
Chu Yiyi supported the Empress and continued walking. Her mouth opened and closed, as if she wanted to say something but didn't say it.
Zhou Yujiao snorted coldly." Just say what you want to say," she said." Why are you stammering?"”
Chu Yiyi then said,"Mother, what do you think of the Third Prince's matter?"”
"Mother knows what you are thinking. Hmph, things in this world are hard to predict.”"What do you think happened to the fire outside Clear Spring Palace?" Zhou Yujiao glanced at her.”
"What is it? What fire? Your son does not know." Chu Yiyi stammered.
"It better not be you. If BenGong finds out that you were the one who set the fire, don't blame BenGong for being ruthless.”Zhou Yujiao said," Don't think that some things can be done without anyone knowing. As long as you think about it seriously, anyone can be an expert detective. What do you think?"”
Chu Yiyi's face turned red and white. She changed the topic and said,"Mother, where do you want to go? Your son will accompany you.”
"Of course it's Clear Spring Palace." "I wonder how Secondary Consort Liu is doing," said Zhou Yujiao.”
Chu Yiyi felt depressed in her heart, but she smiled and welcomed him: "That's good too, your son also wanted to visit. Ever since she became pregnant, your son has never stepped into Clear Spring Palace.”# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
