Tonight, the guards who were supposed to be in the Cold Palace had also left early because they had caught up with the joyous occasion of Shen Pan 'er's coronation as the Empress.
The flames in the Cold Palace soared into the sky, and the wails were endless. However, with the continuous brilliant fireworks in the front hall, no one in the entire palace noticed the abnormality of the Cold Palace.
By the time the fireworks had finished, the Cold Palace had already been reduced to a sea of black smoke.
Shen Pan 'er looked at the handsome Chu Huaijin in front of her under the bright lights in the hall. Her eyes were filled with love and joy.
"Many thanks for the emperor's favor. ChenQie…ChenQie has nothing to repay.”
Chu Huaijin caressed her fair face. Her facial features were beautiful, but there was nothing that could attract her. After all, he had seen Lin Yueying's beautiful face many times. When he looked at any other woman, he could not help but make comparisons. He asked himself, among all the women he had seen, there was probably no one who was more beautiful than Lin Yueying.
Therefore, Shen Pan 'er's face was nothing special to him, but her eyes were the most beautiful and he liked them the most.
He still remembered the first time they met. The first thing he saw was this pair of eyes. He always felt that it was very familiar. Now that he looked at it carefully, he realized that this pair of eyes actually looked like a person…
That person's name was on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say it.
Chu Huaijin couldn't shout it out, but Shen Pan 'er could clearly see the way he looked at her.
That was the way he used to look at Lin Yueying.
When he looked at her, he was still thinking about her.
He…
Shen Pan 'er felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She looked at the little palace maid beside her and felt a little better when she saw the look of satisfaction in her eyes.
Humph, so what if the emperor is concerned about me? I will die the way I should die.
The banquet reached its climax. Everyone came out and raised their glasses to Chu Huaijin and Shen Pan 'er, praising them for being a match made in heaven.
After thirty days of drinking, the banquet was still very lively. The night sky outside was getting darker and darker. Xingzi was so tired that he blinked his eyes and hid in the dark clouds to rest.
Chu Huaijin looked at the bustling scene in front of him, but his heart suddenly felt heavy. It was as if his heart was locked by someone with a long iron chain. He could not struggle or move. He only moved a little, and he was in so much pain that he was breathing.
He stood up from the pressure, scaring Shen Pan 'er who was leaning in his arms. She almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the palace maid behind her who was holding the canopy reached out to support her.
Otherwise, if she fell to the ground during his coronation ceremony, there would be a joke among the people in the court tomorrow.
" Your Majesty…" Shen Pan 'er did not dare to get angry. She bit her lips and looked aggrieved.
Chu Huaijin was moved by her aggrieved tone. Just as he was about to turn around and comfort her, he saw Xiao Luzi coming over and whispering into her ear,""Not good, emperor, the Cold Palace is on fire.”
"What…"
Chu Huaijin's body, which had yet to turn around, turned halfway, causing Shen Pan 'er's attempt to lean over to miss again.
This time, she had learned her lesson. She had already shrunk back when he moved.
" Your Majesty…" Seeing the anxiety in his eyes, she gently tugged at his sleeve, wanting to use the most effective coquettishness to keep him, but he only gently pried her fingers away and followed Xiao Luzi without looking back.
"Ah…what's going on, why did the emperor leave?”
"Yes, the banquet isn't over yet.”
"That's right, that's right. Just now, the emperor and the empress were quite…"
When Shen Pan 'er heard the discussion below the stage, she immediately glared at them unhappily. She gritted her teeth and stood up. She raised her cup and waved her wide sleeves. A graceful and noble smile appeared on her face."Milords and Furen, today is BenGong's great day. Thank you for coming. The Emperor has urgent matters to attend to at the last minute and has no time to explain to you. He has ordered BenGong to speak to you.”
The civil and military officials who were far away could not see the scene just now. They only knew that the Emperor had something to do and had left. Hearing Shen Pan 'er's words, it was reasonable.
The nobles who were close to her had witnessed the scene just now. When they saw her like this, their hearts began to pound. However, due to her noble status, they did not dare to say much. They only dared to stand up and congratulate and bid farewell.
After the commotion, her clothes gradually fell off and the figures gradually disappeared. Soon, only Shen Pan 'er was left in the huge hall.
Looking at the chaos and silence in the hall, Shen Pan 'er was still stuck in the lively scene from before. At this moment, she was spinning around in circles and felt rather uncomfortable.
"Go and find out where the emperor has gone?”
When Xiao Luzi came over just now, his voice was too soft. She was so close, but she actually didn't hear it.
"Yes, Empress." The little palace maid behind him retreated.
In the cold darkness, there was a place that was currently emitting high heat.
Chu Huaijin looked at the charred area in front of him. He was shocked and staggered.
"Where is she? Where is Lin Yueying?" He looked at the guards standing at the door. They were all standing there intact, but the people inside were nowhere to be seen.
" Your Majesty…We deserve to die…" The guard quickly knelt down.
"Get lost, get lost, get lost…"
"Your Majesty, the Cold Palace has been in disrepair for many years. There are many rotten wood and it is quite cold tonight. I'm afraid…I'm afraid that there was an accident with the fire.”Xiao Luzi held Chu Huaijin and explained in a low voice.
"I don't believe it, I…don't believe it." Chu Huaijin's voice was filled with pain, and there was actually a countless amount of reluctance that crept up his heart.
" I don't believe that she will die…" Didn't they say that good people don't live long and evil people live for thousands of years?
The Lin family was so hateful and hateful. Lin Yueying was not a good person either. She killed his prince and even punished Shen Pan 'er many times…How could someone like her die so easily?
Chu Huaijin raised his head and looked at the pitch-black night sky. He shouted for someone to bring a lamp to illuminate the entire place.
"I want to see her alive, and I want to see her corpse dead. Lin Yueying can forget about escaping from my side. Even if she dies, she must die in pain for me.”How could she be burned to death so easily? She still owed him so much. He had yet to take revenge, so she could not die so easily.
Dozens of wind lanterns were lit up at the same time, instantly lighting up the scorched land as bright as day.
If Lin Yueying saw this, she would probably sigh. Ever since she moved into the Cold Palace, this place had never been so bright.
The pitch-black walls, the broken walls, and the black heat indicated that this place had just experienced an inhumane fire.
With the light, Chu Huaijin wanted to know about her existence even more. He lifted his robe and rushed inside. Xiao Luzi pulled him back and urged anxiously,""Emperor…Emperor, you can't go in. It's…it's dangerous inside.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Huaijin had already pushed him away and kicked down the wooden door that was only left with the frame.
Under the tremors, the pillars inside also broke apart and collapsed in front of Chu Huaijin.
Xiao Luzi flashed and quickly went forward to persuade him,""Emperor, don't go in. Let this servant go. This servant will definitely look for it.”
Xiao Luzi's fair and fat face was already stained with black ash. One was white and the other was black, making him look particularly comical.
"Get lost…I'll do it myself. Whether she lives or dies, it's up to me.”
Chu Huaijin pushed him again and stepped on the dark marble floor.
There was only a frame left inside, and he couldn't tell where it was. He used his last memory to find the inner room where Lin Yueying used to stay. Under the bright light, there seemed to be something shining on the charred ground. His mind froze, and he quickly rushed forward...
