dream with the wind (3)

After breaking up with Mu Piaoyu, Xia Lanyue walked briskly towards the Nishang Pavilion. Her steps were fast, and her heart was beating fast.She wanted to share this joy with Su Zhaoyuan. For so many years, the thing she had never dared to think about was leaving here. Tonight, she finally had the opportunity to leave here.

Since the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, I have never been so brisk, as if I let go of all the burdens and responsibilities in an instant, and I can finally live according to my own wishes.

A day to let go of hate, a day to have no hate...

Thinking of this, a never-before-seen smile appeared on her face, quietly blooming like a rose in this dark night, brilliant and dazzling.

Before reaching the Nishang Pavilion, Xia Lanyue saw fire and thick smoke in the distance, she was stunned, and a bad premonition flooded into her heart.

If she read correctly, the direction of the fire was her Nishang Pavilion.

Thinking of this, she immediately rushed towards the Nishang Pavilion, the closer she got to the Nishang Pavilion, she could hear bursts of voices, and many palace people were watching outside the Nishang Pavilion.

Xia Lanyue pushed through the crowd and rushed into the Nishang Pavilion, where many palace officials and imperial guards were carrying water to fight against the raging fire. The smoke was dense and the flames soared into the sky, so dazzling that she almost couldn't open her eyes.

Without even thinking about it, she rushed towards the billowing smoke, but before she could run a few steps, she was stopped by a figure, and standing in front of her was Su Chen with a surprised face. Beads of sweat, hair slightly lingering.

"You're fine." Su Chen held her shoulders tightly with both hands, trembling faintly.

"My sister is still inside." At this time, Xia Lanyue could no longer think about why Suchen appeared here, and only thought that Su Zhaoyuan was still inside.

"It's good that you're fine." Su Chen's voice was hoarse.

But Xia Lanyue couldn't listen to Su Chen's words at all, and could only repeat: "My sister is still inside!"

"Lanmei, this fire is completely impenetrable, we can only go in to save people after the fire is smaller." Eunuch An immediately stepped forward and said.

Xia Lanyue knew that there was nothing she could do, so she could only quietly wait for everyone to put out the fire, but after waiting for a moment, her heart became colder, until the fire gradually subsided, and the guards brought out two burnt bodies beyond recognition from the sea of ​​flames. Xia Lanyue couldn't control the tears in her eyes anymore, and they rolled down.

"Your Majesty, there are only two corpses in the house, and their faces and identities are no longer visible," the guard reported.

Xia Lanyue passed Su Chen, walked up to the two charred corpses, and knelt down powerlessly. The Nishang Pavilion had long been deserted, except for Yu Xiang, only Su Zhaoyuan who came to sit in the pavilion today, except for the two of them , who else.

"Find Wu Zuo for an autopsy." Su Chen ordered lightly.

"It's fine, why did it catch fire?" Xia Lanyue turned her head with tears all over her face, looking up at Su Chen.

"The cause of the fire will be determined after a detailed investigation, An Yao, take Lanmei away first." Su Chen ordered in a cold voice.

Xia Lanyue waved away Eunuch An who was about to help her up: "I won't leave, I won't leave until the truth is known."

"An Yao, take her away." Su Chen's voice contained a bit of anger.

"I won't leave! My sister died in my place. If she hadn't come to sit idle in the pavilion, I might have been the one who died! Why the Nishang Pavilion caught fire for no reason is definitely not that simple."

"Leave Beauty Lan." Eunuch An immediately winked at the guards on both sides.

After the guards took the order, they immediately left with Xia Lanyue, who was out of control, while Su Chen stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at the two charred corpses on the ground, his eyes were cold.

Xia Lanyue was brought into Chaohua Hall by the guards. The hall was brightly lit, while she sat on the jade bench in the hall, staring blankly at her own shadow on the ground paved with gold bricks, motionless.

Eunuch An stood on one side, looking at Xia Lanyue from time to time. She had been sitting in that position for more than half an hour, and she didn't know what she was thinking about with her cold face.

Tonight, he saw a different emperor.

When the incident of the fire in the Nishang Pavilion was reported to the imperial study room, the emperor left the memorial in his hand and went straight to the Nishang Pavilion. After entering the Nishang Pavilion and watching the fire, he, who had always been calm, yelled at the guards who put out the fire. The panic and anxiety in his eyes was something he had never seen before.
