Chapter 686: Moon Halo Night (2)

Zhong Weiwei woke up with a start, seeing that Chonghua had already put on his clothes and got out of bed, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Chonghua reassured her: "It's nothing, there was a fire in Lu Ruosu's mourning hall, I'm worried that it's just a cover, I'm planning to go to other places to have a look."

Brother Liang and others have come back to be on duty. The safest place in the palace is the Hall of Zhaoren. Zhong Weiwei lay down and wanted to continue sleeping, but he was not sleepy, so he simply got up and was going to have a look.

She didn't want what happened last time to happen again, and she didn't want to be alone again in fear.Poor children without parents deserve more tenderness.

She had just walked outside the side hall where You You lived, when she heard a clear and crisp gong sound from a distance, and the eunuchs screamed: "The water is gone, the water is gone, the Shouyi Pavilion is gone. "

Shouyi Pavilion is the place where Empress Dowager Wei is imprisoned, so the burning of Lu Ruosu's mourning hall tonight is actually related to Empress Dowager Wei?

Zhong Weiwei's expression was solemn, and he always felt that things would not be easy this time.

The cold wind blew up, Xiaotang comforted her: "Don't worry, it looks like it will rain, as long as it rains, no matter how big the fire is, it will be extinguished soon."

Zhao Hongtu was worried: "This rain won't come. At least it won't rain until tomorrow."

So, the wind tonight will fuel the fire, and it is likely to burn down the mourning halls of Shouyi Pavilion and Lu Ruosu?
Zhong Weiwei thought for a while, and arranged for Xiaotang to visit Princess Huguo, whether she should come over with her.They also arranged for Aunt Qian to pick up A Cai from the Yuming Hall: "I think the Eldest Princess will go to guard a pavilion with His Majesty, and I probably won't be able to take care of A Cai, so go and get her here."

Xiaotang and Aunt Qian took the order to go, Zhong Weiwei entered the side hall, and was already awake again, sitting on the bed, hugging the pillow tightly in a daze, when he saw her coming, he stretched out his hand to her: "Aunt Wei."

Zhong Weiwei kicked off his shoes and got on the bed, holding him in his arms: "I'm here, it's fine, go to sleep."

He grabbed her sleeve again and whispered: "Did Father go out?"

Zhong Weiwei had no intention of hiding it from him: "Yeah, the fire outside is a bit big, let him go and have a look."

Youyou's upper eyelids and lower eyelids kept fighting, but she did not forget to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Zhong Weiwei laughed: "Well, that's why I came to you."

There was the sound of even breathing, and he fell asleep again.

Zhong Weiwei let go of him, and leaned against the bedside to think about something.

Soon there were footsteps outside, Aunt Qing opened the door, and together with Aunt Qian, A Cai was brought in.

A Cai's wet nurse and two saintesses in the palace wanted to follow in. Zhong Weiwei gave Aunt Qing a wink, and Aunt Qing stopped them outside without showing any signs: "The eldest son of the emperor is asleep. You can't leave your wife in the dormitory." There are many people, please wait outside."

The wet nurse was very upset: "But our princess can't leave people around."

Aunt Qing said: "Don't worry, we will take good care of the princess."

The nurse still refused to give up: "But our princess is only used to being served by old slaves..."

Her voice was a bit loud, arguing again and again, Zhong Weiwei was not happy, and said lightly: "Then, the princess ran to the street to play with Furun Palace before, so you must have followed?"

The nurse's face turned pale, and she stepped back unwillingly: "No."

Zhong Weiwei glanced at the wet nurse in warning, and patted her side with a smile: "Ah Cai, come here."

A Cai was hugged by Aunt Qian, with sleepy eyes, she saw Zhong Weiwei and said, "Aunt told me to follow you and listen to you." Then she climbed onto the bed and fell asleep.

Xiaotang also came in a hurry: "Princess Huguo said she won't come, so you can rest assured that the guards around her are quite capable, as long as you take care of yourself and your children."

Zhong Weiwei just lay down and closed her eyes to rest.

She vaguely heard A Cai's wet nurse talking softly to the two maidens outside, but the words were not clear, probably she was complaining about her.But she can't take care of so much anymore. Judging from the Youyou incident, there may be bad things around Duan Ren, so it's always good to be careful.

The flames of the guarding pavilion were so bright that Chonghua and Duanren stood outside and directed the palace staff to put out the fire. However, the fire was too strong and the wind was too strong, so they couldn't control it for a while.

Several guards in charge of search and rescue ran out of the fire, rolled on the ground and put out the fire, shouting: "Your Majesty, there is no one in the house!"

When the fire started, Aunt Xia Hua arranged for people to rush in to rescue Queen Mother Wei, but only a few palace attendants were rescued, but Queen Mother Wei was not found.

They thought that Empress Dowager Wei had hid in some corner, and even thought that the fire might have been set off by Empress Dowager Wei, so they sent guards to search around, but unfortunately they still found nothing.

Aunt Xia Hua pleaded guilty in shame: "Your servant is guilty, please punish me."

Duan Ren was so anxious that his voice became hoarse: "Who has the time to punish you right now?"

Aunt Xia Hua left silently, leading people to continue searching for the whereabouts of Empress Dowager Wei.

The palace man brought two chairs over, Chong Hua asked Duan Ren to sit down: "Sister, don't worry, she can't go far."

If it really went far away, then there was another big problem, so there was no need to look for it.

The two brothers and sisters were in the same mind, Duan Ren sighed: "I'm not worried about her going far away, what I'm worried about is that someone has ulterior motives, hasn't she been kidnapped once before?"

If the Queen Mother Wei is held hostage by the remnants of the Kunlun Palace and asks Chonghua to do something in front of everyone, it's hard to refuse, otherwise she will be a cold-blooded emperor that her own mother doesn't want, and it will not be very good for her reputation.

"As far as human beings know the destiny, the Queen Mother will not blame us." Chonghua himself didn't take it so seriously, but ordered everyone to intensify their efforts to search for the whereabouts of Queen Mother Wei.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Mu Xi was sticking to the wall, walking quickly in the alleys of the capital, and finally stopped at the door of a house, looked around vigilantly, and climbed over the wall to enter.

Before his feet landed, he heard someone sternly say: "Who?" Immediately afterwards, two cold knives stabbed against his body.

He deftly folded down, dodging like a fish, and after a few moves with the visitor in silence, Gu Kong took out the thing that the woman gave him and shook it: "Ke Baiqiu, someone asked me to come find you." .”

That thing was actually a small jade handle. Ke Baiqiu stopped his hand, took it and looked at it again and again, and said suspiciously: "How did you get this?"

Mu Xi was expressionless: "That woman said that you will know what to do when you see this thing. Do you want to do it or not? If you don't do it, I can leave."

Ke Baiqiu slashed the knife in front of him sharply: "Since your honor is here, come with me."

Mu Xi's pupils shrank slightly: "What are you doing?"

Ke Baiqiu smiled strangely: "Emperor Yanxi was unfilial and unrighteous, mean and ungrateful, greedy for women, and killed all loyal officials, forcing us to rebel. Now, I have to go to the imperial prison to rescue two people, and I want to invite you to Prince Qi's mansion." Let's go and rescue King Qi."
