Chapter 675 While Planning
With the Queen Mother's permission, Jiang Zhimian and Lian Yun went to the Golden Luan Hall openly.

Eunuch Xi came out to greet him in person.

Although I've met Jiang Zhimian before, I still have to pretend not to know him right now.

"The servant pays homage to the little Princess, General Gu." Eunuch Xi said.

Jiang Zhimian also saluted with a symbolic blessing, "Father-in-law, we are ordered by the Queen Mother to come here to install crystal lamps in the Golden Luan Hall."

Eunuch Xi hurriedly welcomed them in, "Little princess, I heard that you made the crystal lamp a long time ago. It is said that it can be kept on without fire, and it will not go out even for several days. I am very curious."

Jiang Zhimian found an open place in the middle of the Jinluan Hall, put the crystal lamp in the middle, and began to assemble the crystal chips and lamp holders.

One side replied, "It can last for several days, but it is more laborious, because it needs someone to shake the handle to light up. If it does not go out for several days, wouldn't the hand of the maid and eunuch be abolished?" ?”

"Then it doesn't matter. They were born with a low life. It's a blessing to be able to make some sacrifices for the crystal lamp made by the little princess." Eunuch Xi said.

Jiang Zhimian also smiled, "Elder-in-law really knows how to joke."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking to Eunuch Xi.

Eunuch Xi didn't continue talking, but went directly to inform the emperor by saying that he was going to tell the emperor who was resting in the apse.

This was all discussed before,

As long as Jiang Zhimian comes over with the crystal lamp, it means that the plan has already started.

Waiting for a while when the Golden Luan Hall caught fire, he left from the window of the apse, hid in the dry well and waited for the opportunity to escape.

This is a meticulous plan, without revealing any flaws.

After Mr. Xi informed the emperor, he returned to the front hall. Jiang Zhimian had already assembled the crystal lamp.

He ordered the two little eunuchs next to him to hang the crystal lamp on the beam.

Immediately afterwards, let the maid shake the handle.

But this time the crystal lamp did not light up.

"How could it be? Did you go in the wrong direction? Try again." Jiang Zhimian said with a puzzled expression.

According to Jiang Zhimian's instructions, the court lady changed the direction and shook the handle again.

But in the same way, the crystal lamp still didn't light up.

"Perhaps it was too bumpy when we came here, did something get damaged?" Lian Yun said.

Jiang Zhimian nodded, "It's possible, then I have to fix it."

After that, he took out the screwdriver he made himself from his pocket.

He squatted in front of the generator and fiddled with it twice, then looked at everyone with vigilance, "What are you doing? Why are you staring here? Are you trying to steal my skills?"

"How dare we dare to say what the little princess said." Eunuch Xi smiled embarrassingly.

But Jiang Zhimian's expression was still tense, "Grandpa Xi, I only taught the artisans of Ruyi Pavilion, they all work for the palace, and they can't go out for the rest of their lives, but these maids are about to go out , if the technology is leaked out, what should we do?"

When the maids next to her heard it, they also thought it made sense.

If his unreliability leaked out, wouldn't this technology be precious?
It was originally a technology that could be used to make transactions with other countries, so it is not good to waste it.

Eunuch Xi was silent for a while, but he could only nod his head, "Then... what should I do?"

Jiang Zhimian thought for a moment, "Well, you go out for a while, and I'll see what the problem is."

"How long will it take?" Eunuch Xi still had a nervous expression on his face.

Jiang Zhimian spread his hands helplessly, "Then I can't say, it may be a while, it may be an hour, anyway, let me take a look first, and I will call you after a cup of tea."

"Alright then." Eunuch Xi nodded, and led the maids out.

Lian Yun was the last to go out.

Before going out, he took a copper core from Jiang Zhimian's hand.

After everyone went out, Jiang Zhimian quickly got up and went straight to the apse.

The apse was empty except for the emperor.

This was arranged by Eunuch Xi long ago, saying that the emperor is not feeling well today and needs to be quiet, and he doesn't want so many people in the room, so as not to cause annoying noise.

At this moment, Jiang Zhimian rushed to the apse, and pushed the emperor on the bed, "Let's go, time is running out."

These days the emperor has been taking Jiang Zhimian's pills, and Jiang Zhimian asked Concubine Gao to make other pills two days ago, and his health is much better than before.

Turning over and getting out of bed or something is completely out of the question.

Very quickly, he went out through the window of the apse.

Jiang Zhimian, as the back cushion, did not forget to take out the kerosene that Eunuch Xi hid under the bed, quickly poured it on the bed, and then lit the fire.

On the other hand, he quickly turned out and went to the dry well with the emperor.

Here, Eunuch Xi arranged for his own people to respond. After putting the emperor and Jiang Zhimian down the dry well, he sealed the bluestone slab intact and turned it in through the window of the apse.

"Come out quickly," said the little eunuch.

Immediately, a little maid came out of the cabinet, looked at the little eunuch, her face was still a little pale.

But the little eunuch didn't bother to observe these things, and urged her to change clothes, and he took out a dragon robe from the cabinet and put it on.

"Brother Xi, are we going to die like this?" the little maid asked softly, sobbing.

The little eunuch glanced at her, "It's not dead, we are doing things for the emperor, it's a matter of honoring our ancestors, you know? In this life, we can't make a name for ourselves in the palace. If we can help the emperor this time, at least It's better at home."

Eunuch Xi has already promised that as long as they are willing to pretend to be the emperor and the little princess and be burned to death, then their families will definitely get preferential treatment.

Most importantly, there is no need to enter the palace as a slave anymore.

It is worthwhile to exchange one's own life for the happiness of the whole family.

The little palace maid was also moved by these words, her eyes flickered, and then she firmly wiped away the tears on her face, "Brother Xiaoxi, you are right, if I do these things, my mother and younger sister don't have to give up It’s worth it for people to do coolies.”

While talking, the fire has gradually started to grow.

The little maid closed all the doors of the apse, and took out the red phosphorus that had been placed in the cabinet before, and sprinkled it in every corner of the apse.

Then he and the little eunuch quietly waited for death.

The thick smoke from outside quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding guards and eunuchs.

Amidst the exclamation that the water was gone, the fire became more and more intense, and with the help of kerosene and the red phosphorus hidden around it, it quickly swallowed the apse of the Golden Luan Hall.

"The emperor and Jiang Zhimian" were also in the scene of the fire and did not come out again...
