Based on the queen's understanding of the elder brothers, only the fifth elder brother Yongqi can go all out to save the emperor after such a big event, the fire is so fierce, the fifth elder brother may not be able to come out if the fifth elder brother is buried in the sea of ​​flames , Then... Who else can compete with her son for the throne?

But God failed to stand on her side this time. Not only did the emperor and Wei Ning'er escape the catastrophe, but the fifth elder brother was also safe and sound. She tried her best, and everything she planned at the risk of losing everything was in vain. 【y】

"Wu Shulai, deliver the decree. Except for the imperial concubine Ling, everyone else kneel down!" The emperor looked at the people in the room, feeling troubled, and ordered Wu Shulai who was beside him.

"Yes!" Wu Shulai responded, and said loudly: "The emperor has ordered the imperial concubine to stay, and the rest of the masters kneel down!"

The corner of Wu Shulai's mouth twitched a few times when he said this. When Wei Ning'er dragged him out of the hall just now, although he covered his head with his hands, his face was only slightly burned, but his arms were not so lucky. , wrapped in a thick white cloth, shivering with pain when she moved lightly.

"The concubine resigns!" Even though she was unwilling, the queen was helpless at the moment, and she took the lead out of the hall, but when she passed by the prince, she gave a subtle wink.

"Let's kneel down too!" Prince He said to Prince Guo beside him.

Prince Guo nodded slightly. After the two brothers got out of Le'anhe, he said with some doubts: "Fifth brother, why did Jiuzhou Qingyan suddenly catch fire?"

"I don't know, maybe the fire started because of the hot weather these days, we have to be more careful, go back and tell the people in the mansion to be careful." Prince He shook his head.

"There are so many servants and guards in this garden, why couldn't the fire be extinguished in time, and the emperor's brother was almost in danger?" Prince Guo was puzzled.

"I asked, today the emperor went to visit the lake, and most of the guards were transferred to the lakeside to be on duty. Later, when the emperor returned to Qingyan, Kyushu, the guards caught fire before they returned to their respective positions, not to mention the fierce fire. Those who want to put out the fire are not a short-term thing, who would have thought that the emperor would go in and save the two elder brothers in person at the risk of his own life!" Prince He shook his head.

"If it's another prince, I'm afraid Brother Huang won't care so much!" Prince Guo laughed.

"Brother Huang loves Yongxuan the most. Firstly, Yongxuan was born to the noble concubine Ling. Secondly, Yongxuan couldn't recognize his ancestor and return to his clan. Brother Huang feels very guilty. In addition, Yongxuan is outstanding, so Brother Huang feels it is a pity. Xuan is exceptionally nice, not to mention... Concubine Ling is very unusual, I heard from the servants that she is the only lady in the palace who risked her life to save the emperor." Prince He nodded.

"Even if it's us, we don't necessarily have that courage!" Prince Guo shook his head, then smiled and said, "Fifth brother, Yongqi has carried the emperor's brother out of the fire this time. Now that the result is over, shall we continue to secretly support Brother Twelve?"

"That's natural. With the empress here, we don't have to worry about other things. We just need to secretly support the forces in the court. After a few years, we can help Twelve Elder Brothers. The emperor has not issued a secret edict for a day. There is a chance, even if a secret edict is issued, there is still a chance!" Prince He sneered.

"Fifth Brother, don't worry!" Prince Guo said solemnly.

"Let's go back to the mansion, and greet Brother Huang tomorrow!" Prince He laughed.

"Fifth Brother, come and sit at my house. I just got some novelty items a few days ago. I want to invite Fifth Brother to take a look." Prince Guo said loudly.

"How novel is it? Can it be more novel than the wooden frame with mirrors that you presented to the emperor a few days ago?" Prince He teased.

"I bought that mirror from the Western godfather at a great price. I heard it was used by their emperor. If you didn't say that the emperor would like it, I would definitely keep it for myself. Today I will give it to five." Brother is looking at the calligraphy and painting of the Tang Dynasty, fifth brother, you just help me to see if it is a fake!" Prince Guo laughed.

"That's just a coincidence. A few days ago, my mansion just invited a gentleman who is an expert in this field. I will send someone to announce him to your mansion!" After talking with the prince, he ordered the servants around him to invite him. People, I went out with Prince Guo by myself.

The Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace was razed to the ground by the fire, and the emperor was injured again. This incident shocked the government and the public, and rumors spread throughout the capital, and people were panicked for a while.

It was evening when the Queen Mother learned about all this and came to Le'anhe from Changchun Garden. She looked at the emperor lying on the bed and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Emperor Mother, my son is fine!" Seeing the Empress Dowager like this, the emperor felt uncomfortable. Now that he is over fifty years old, he still wants to make his Empress cry, which is really unfilial.

"Fortunately, God blesses you. This time, the danger was saved. The emperor, you and Yongxuan are all fine, but why did the Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace catch fire?" The queen mother was full of doubts and anger.

"Emperor Niang, don't worry, I have sent someone to thoroughly investigate the cause of the fire, and the result will be resolved soon!" The emperor laughed.

"Emperor, Er Niang is over [-] years old, Er Niang is old, and she can no longer compare with the thoughtfulness of the past. These days, Er Niang feels that she has more energy than energy, and when she gets old, she will become confused, and Er Niang doesn't care. Not so much, but if someone deliberately did this, the emperor, you must not be merciful, you must thoroughly investigate this matter!" The queen mother said in a deep voice.

"Emperor Niang, don't worry, I will not tolerate this time!" The emperor's face also darkened.

The emperor lived in Yuanmingyuan most of the time on weekdays. This garden is very large, with more than 2 guards inside and outside. There are also many eunuchs and maids in the palace. In addition, the masters will bring Personal slaves, the people in this garden have already surpassed the Forbidden City.

From the emperor's point of view, the Qing Banquet Hall in Jiuzhou was on fire. If the servants tried their best to put out the fire, the two princes would not be trapped in the inner hall. There were not many servants, which already made him angry.

Even though it took a while for the guards to get the news, there were too few people coming, and after the news of the water leak spread, the princes and princes living nearby should have arrived in time, but he only saw To Yongqi alone.

No... Yong Qi was the only one who ventured into the palace to save him. This shocked the emperor greatly.

"Good luck, Empress Dowager!" Wei Ning'er came into the hall with the porridge, and saw the Empress Dowager sitting beside the emperor, and immediately greeted her respectfully.

"Concubine Ling, take good care of the emperor, and the Ai family will go back to the palace first!" The queen mother looked at Wei Ning'er with a soft look in her eyes. She had already heard that when a fire broke out, the one who braved the fire to save the emperor was one of the concubines. There is only Ling Guifei alone.

"Respectfully send off the empress dowager!" Wei Ning'er gently blessed her body, and after the empress dowager left, she sat down beside the emperor, and said with a smile: "Your majesty, you haven't had dinner yet, why don't you drink some porridge, the concubine cooked it herself. "

"Okay!" The emperor looked at Wei Ning'er, nodded slightly, and was deeply moved. Only when a person's life and death are at stake can he see a person's sincerity. Wei Ning'er, in an emergency, she is the only one who treats him sincerely.

"If something like this happens again in the future, you are not allowed to put yourself in danger again!" the emperor said with red eyes while holding Wei Ning'er's hand.

"The emperor is in danger, how can my concubine be alone!" Wei Ning'er shook her head lightly.

At that moment, there was only one thought in her mind, which was to save the emperor, even if she couldn't, she would go, she couldn't just watch him suffer all that alone.

"Ning'er, you still have Yongxuan and the others. You can't leave them behind at any time, do you understand? If I go, and you are still here, they will have something to rely on, and I will be relieved!" The emperor said softly.

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense!" Wei Ning'er couldn't help blushing.

"I won't say such taboo words in the future, but you have to remember what I said!" The emperor held her hand tightly.

"Your majesty, you understand that if you...really... then the concubines and children will never see the light of day!" Wei Ning'er understood that if the emperor really had good or bad things this time, no matter whether it was the harem or the previous court, they would all be happy. If something goes wrong, the emperor has not yet left a secret edict to establish the crown prince, and the empress will take charge of everything. In order to survive, Wei Ning'er has to go all out to support the fifth elder brother, but the empress is the first wife after all, even if Wei Ning'er is favored by the emperor again, it will be the past As for the matter, she has almost no chance of winning when people leave the tea to cool down. Once the empress becomes the empress dowager, Wei Ning'er can't imagine what awaits her and the children.

In the past, she didn't care about status and fame. In her heart, as long as the emperor treats her sincerely and treats the children well, it is enough, but today's incident made her understand that rights...only with enough rights can guarantee her and The safety of the children.

"Ning'er, many years ago, I said that I will protect you for the rest of my life, even if I go before you, I will protect you!" The emperor leaned closer to Wei Ning'er and whispered a few words in Wei Ning'er's ear.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er was startled when she heard the words, her eyes were full of shock when she looked at the Emperor.

"According to what I said, hurry up and get the brush and ink!" The emperor said softly.

Wei Ning'er's face was full of struggles. After hesitating for a moment, she got up and went outside to get a pen and ink.

The emperor swiped a pen on the bright yellow silk brocade, wrote down the will, and then asked Wei Ning'er to fetch the jade seal, and took the jade seal and pressed it heavily on it.

"Take it!" The emperor handed the secret decree to Wei Ning'er.

"Your majesty, my concubine..." Wei Ning'er hesitated.

"Pick it up!" the emperor said again, his words were full of doubts.

"Yes, my concubine, thank the emperor for his grace!" Wei Ning'er accepted the imperial decree. Although she and the children would have no worries with this imperial decree, she already felt very heavy in her heart, making her breathless.

"I know what you are thinking, don't worry, the eminent monk once said that if I can live a hundred years, I will definitely accompany you to watch the children grow up safely!" The emperor smiled while holding her hand.

Wei Ning'er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "The emperor is hungry, let's have porridge!"

"Okay!" The emperor looked at Wei Ning'er with a smile in his eyes. Although the edict just now was against the rules, but for her, for the sake of the children who have not yet grown up, it doesn't matter even if he indulges himself once.
