Chapter 100
The Holy Admiral Xiao Yuzhuo was under house arrest in Xiyuan, and now he was counting on Jing Yannian to win the battle for him, but he did not wrong Xiao Yuzhuo.
What she eats is the most exquisite in the palace.
Now even His Majesty has set an example of frugality, so as to save the treasury and fully support the war in the Western Regions.
Only her food here has not been cut down. There are 24 dishes for breakfast and lunch, and there are all kinds of bird's nest snacks in between. Only dinner, she eats less, she offered to reduce it to four dishes and one soup.
Zhu Xiang laid out the food, and Ju Xiang squatted aside to help.
She checked all the dishes before she dared to pass the chopsticks to Xiao Yuzhuo.
"Why are you so cautious? Your Majesty is reluctant to let me die now." Xiao Yuzhuo laughed.
"What's dead or not? The lady is really..." Mei Xiang stood at the door and muttered in a low voice.
"You guys come to eat too!" Xiao Yuzhuo greeted, "Now that you don't even have freedom, what's the point of distinguishing between superior and inferior?"
She reached out to pick up vegetables.
The child in her belly seemed to kick her hard.
The kick was so strong that Zhuxiang could see it through the thin skirt.
"Hey, the fetus is moving!" Zhuxiang excitedly said.
"What fetal movement? It was called fetal movement in three or four months, but now it's Xiaoshizi who is exercising his muscles and bones!" Ju Xiang laughed at her.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the food and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
She put down her chopsticks, "I don't want to eat."
"What's wrong?" Ju Xiang hurriedly checked the food, "But what's wrong?"
The closer the delivery was, the more nervous the three servant girls became.
The midwives in the palace could not be trusted, but none of them had any experience in delivering babies.
Even the doctor girl Juxiang has never experienced that scene.So now no matter everything, they pay extra attention.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "It's just that I suddenly don't want to eat, it has nothing to do with the food."
Zhu Xiang hurriedly put the food back, "Put it in the food box, so as not to cool down for a while. It happened that the maidservant's food didn't come up, and when it was delivered later, the maidservant accompanied the lady to eat together. "
Zhuxiang put away the food.
After waiting for about half an hour, the food from the maids was delivered.
Zhuxiang put Xiao Yuzhuo's food out of the food box again.
When she was about to hand the chopsticks to Xiao Yuzhuo, Ju Xiang grabbed her hand.
Zhuxiang was taken aback.
"This food is wrong!" Ju Xiang's expression changed immediately.
Zhu Xiang and Mei Xiang were startled, and they knelt and sat beside the case, "What's wrong?"
Ju Xiang glanced out.
It was getting dark outside by now.
Originally, dinner was supposed to be delivered before dark, but today their meal was half an hour late.
"Fortunately, it's half an hour late!" Ju Xiang pointed to the food on the plate and said, "Look at the soup color of this dish."
Zhu Xiang stared at it, "What's wrong with Tang Se?"
"The color of the soup has changed. Keep it warm in the food box. The color of the soup shouldn't change so quickly!" Ju Xiang took the silver needle to test the poison, but the silver needle didn't change color.
She couldn't help frowning.
Zhu Xiang and Mei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's because you think too much! Is there any soup that changes color and is poisonous?"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "It's always right to be careful, my eyelids are always twitching, and the child is also restless in the stomach, moving every now and then. It always feels like something is going on."
"Don't eat it." Ju Xiang looked at the food and frowned.
"Does not eat make the lady hungry? We can be hungry, but the lady still has children?" Mei Xiang disagreed.
Zhuxiang bit her lip and said nothing.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "Let's not eat today, I simply don't have any appetite."
"We're locked up here every day. It's okay not to eat a meal, but it's not a long-term solution, is it?" Mei Xiang grimaced.
Zhuxiang suddenly grabbed the chopsticks, "I eat!"
Ju Xiang pressed her hand, "Are you stupid?"
Zhu Xiang shook her head and smiled, "I'm not stupid. If there is no problem with this meal, it is the best. If there is a problem with this meal, it must be done without telling the truth. If something happens to me, my wife can use it to complain Question the Holy Majesty! The Holy Majesty will not dare to ignore it! General Jing is still fighting outside! How dare the Holy Majesty let the lady and the child in the womb of the lady suffer accidents?"
"That's not going to cost you!" Xiao Yuzhuo said helplessly.
Zhu Xiang chuckled, "Of course I can't pay for my servants if I'm outside, but isn't there a shortage of manpower here?"
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his forehead, "Go get a cat or dog, even if you try, you can't take human life to try."
Ju Xiang's face looked better now, she raised her hand to pat Zhu Xiang and said, "You still say you're not stupid? Cats and dogs can try it, but you have to pay for yourself, are you worth a cat?"
Zhuxiang grinned, got up quickly and went out, wanting to ask the eunuch at the door for a cat or dog.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a red light outside.
"Mom..." she called out.
Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang also ran to the door in a hurry, looked up and were shocked, "It's water——Xiyuan is water——"
It wasn't when the fire started, it spread quickly with the wind.
In an instant, it was as if a tongue of fire was licking a person's face.
Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang quickly retreated back into the house, and supported Xiao Yuzhuo, "Lady, it's on fire, the east chamber and the west chamber are all on fire, it has already surrounded this place, the maidservants protect the lady and rush out."
"The eunuchs outside are dead? The fire is so big, and they won't listen to their calls?" Mei Xiang scolded at the door, holding the curtain.
Things are a little strange.
Although Xiyuan is remote, there are many eunuchs stationed outside.
The fire was so big, they should have noticed it long ago.
But at this moment, there was no sound of putting out the fire.
"Don't worry about it, let's protect the lady and rush out first!" Zhuxiang shouted at Meixiang, "You pull down the curtain and block the front, we will support the lady."
Mei Xiang hurriedly pulled the curtain.
Before the door curtain was pulled open, a few people suddenly rushed in amidst the flames outside.
Black clothes and black gauze mask.
There are still a few figures on the shoulders.
The man pulled off the door curtain that Mei Xiang couldn't tear off.
Mei Xiang was taken aback, "There are thorns..."
The man reached out and blew on her.
Mei Xiang inhaled the powder blown away from his hand, and fell to the ground with a puff.
Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang turned pale with shock, they backed up protecting Xiao Yuzhuo.
Those few people ignored them, instead they threw the little maids on their shoulders to the ground, and picked up Mei Xiang.
Both Zhuxiang and Juxiang were calm people, they didn't cry out when they saw this.
No one came to rescue such a big fire, and they thought they were well prepared.
Even if they yelled, they would not be able to recruit rescuers, but they would actually irritate them.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a low voice.
The fire has spread from the east and west hatchbacks to the main room.
The man in black stepped forward.
Zhuxiang's figure tightened, and she lifted her foot like that person kicked her.
"We are here to rescue the lady!" the man said, clasping his hands.
Zhuxiang couldn't hold back her legs in time, and almost knocked herself down.
"One of my own?" Zhu Xiang frowned, "Then why did you make her faint?"
"If you shout and call in the guards, the lady will not be able to leave. While the fire is in a hurry, the lady will come with us!" the man in black said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo hesitated.
It is not clear whether these people are enemies or friends.
The man in black was in a hurry, "It won't take long, my lady, let's go!"
Both Zhuxiang and Juxiang looked at Xiao Yuzhuo, waiting for her to make up her mind.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, stroked his stomach, "Let's go!"
A man in black walked ahead with Mei Xiang on his shoulders, and the other carried Ju Xiang, who knew no kung fu.
When the talking man in black was about to help Xiao Yuzhuo, Zhu Xiang gave him a hard look, "My wife, I'll do it!"
"Are you good at kung fu?" the man in black asked suspiciously.
Zhuxiang snorted, pursed her lips and ignored him, and supported Xiao Yuzhuo's feet to make the wind blow.
There seemed to be a lot of people in black.
The fire in Xiyuan has already attracted the attention of the palace people.
The sound of someone running towards this side could be vaguely heard outside the fire.
The man in black seems to be very familiar with the layout of the palace.
With Xiao Yuzhuo and his party, they escaped the night watchmen and the people who rushed to put out the fire.
We are about to leave the palace wall.
Xiao Yuzhuo breathed a sigh of relief.
I saw some other men in black climbed over the palace wall.
Xiao Yuzhuo thought that these were the people who came to meet him.
Unexpectedly, the footsteps of the leading man in black stopped.
Then the two sides fought.
Zhuxiang and Juxiang were all stunned.
Zhuxiang hurriedly protected Xiao Yuzhuo and hid at the base of the city wall.
The men in black fought hand to hand, they all looked at Xiao Yuzhuo's master and servant who was hiding at the base of the wall.
Xiao Yuzhuo felt that he could no longer tell the difference between the two groups of men in black.
But suddenly, someone slammed away the person who was pestering him, and immediately stepped forward to hold Zhuxiang's wrist and said: "It's me, take the lady away!"
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't recognize that person's voice.
Zhuxiang showed joy and nodded repeatedly.
"Send the lady out of the palace first!" the man in black ordered in a low voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo was carrying her belly, the man in black wanted to carry her, but seeing that it was inconvenient to carry her on his back, he had to hold her arms with Zhuxiang on one side and the other on the right.
The other men in black were stacked up like Arhats under the city wall.
"The people who watch the night will pass by every incense stick. There is not much time, so hurry up!" the man in black said to Zhuxiang.
Zhu Xiang nodded with him, the two supported Xiao Yuzhuo, stepped on the shoulders of those men in black, and jumped up the city wall.
In the distance, there are patrolling people coming here.
Before they had time to hesitate, they flew and jumped down.
The men in black who had been fighting with them before jumped out of the city wall one step ahead of them.
Xiao Yuzhuo only felt that it was over.
Must be discovered.
Once those men in black fought with them outside the city wall, wouldn't they be discovered by the night watchmen right away?
Then she can't run away.
I never thought that those men in black who jumped out of the city wall first, instead of making a sound, quickly built a personal ladder underneath.
Zhu Xiang and the man in black supported Xiao Yuzhuo, and ran down the man's ladder.
The two of them jumped off the city wall with kung fu, at most saving their legs.
But as a pregnant woman, Xiao Yuzhuo didn't dare to save like this.
After landing safely, the men in black on both sides heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yuzhuo was confused now, did the two sides know each other, or didn't they know each other?
Why are they still fighting inside the palace walls, but now they are helping each other?
Seeing the man in black carrying Mei Xiang, Ju Xiang also escaped from the palace wall.
They didn't dare to stop, taking advantage of the darkness, they ran in a hurry.
In a small alley far away from the palace wall, there was a carriage parked.
The man in black pointed at Zhuxiang, "Get in the car!"
He then turned around to stop the group of men in black who were outside the city wall and took a ladder to meet them, but kept chasing them.
Zhuxiang hugged Xiao Yuzhuo's waist and jumped into the carriage.
Fortunately, there are thick cushions and huge pillows in the carriage.
Xiao Yuzhuo supported his heart and leaned against the pillow.
Before he could sit still, the carriage jumped out.
"There is a curfew in Chang'an City, won't this carriage be discovered if it runs like this?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked Zhuxiang.
Zhu Xiang shook her head, also with a blank face, "I don't know what they will do?"
The sound of the men in black fighting was gradually left behind.
Along the way, I didn't meet the Jinwu Guard who was watching the night.
The carriage seemed to have driven into a courtyard and stopped in the quiet courtyard.
"Mistress, get out of the car and rest for a while." The person outside the car said.
Zhuxiang lifted the curtain and took a look outside.
The yard was dark, except for a lantern hanging on the porch, casting a dim light on the ground.
"Come on, lady." Zhu Xiang held Xiao Yuzhuo's hand.
Xiao Yuzhuo was still in a daze at the moment, but her expression was calmer than when she was in the palace.
Zhuxiang supported her, walked to the porch where the lantern was hung, opened the door, the room was simple and clean.
There was an oil lamp on the table facing the door.
Zhuxiang wanted to go forward to light the lamp, but the man in black outside the door stopped her.
"The villain parked the chariot and horses in the backyard. When the morning drums and thunder sounded, the lady could start from the backyard by chariot." After the man in black finished speaking, he looked around and led the chariot and horses to the backyard.
There was no light in the room, it was pitch black.
Zhu Xiang had no choice but to open the door, borrowing the light from the porch, brought a chair and helped Xiao Yuzhuo to sit down.
"When Xiu Yuan was leaving, he said that he would accompany me to give birth, so he didn't scare me, could it be..." Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a low voice.
Zhuxiang nodded excitedly, "Miss, didn't you hear that? The man in black who helped her out of the city wall was Liao Changsheng, the guard next to the general?"
Xiao Yuzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, "I really didn't hear it."
"Now you can rest assured, Xiao Shizi finally doesn't have to be born in such an unfree place!" Zhu Xiang giggled.
Suddenly there was some movement outside the yard.
Like a frightened bird, she stood in front of Xiao Yuzhuo.
Seeing that the visitor was still carrying chrysanthemum and plum fragrance, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, they all came out." Zhu Xiang stepped forward to take Mei Xiang.
But the man in black hid, cupped his hands and said: "My lady, go away, it is not suitable to stay here for long."
As he said that, he was about to come to help Xiao Yuzhuo.
Zhu Xiang stood in front of Xiao Yuzhuo, "Didn't you leave when the morning drum and thunder sounded?"
The man in black was a little anxious, "I can't wait anymore, there is another son who wants to steal the lady secretly, and I don't know who they are. Although they are helping each other outside the city wall, it is still unclear whether they are enemies or friends. "
Zhuxiang frowned, "Where's Liao Suwei?"
The man paused, "Liao Suwei is dragging them, they are following the lady all the way, and they have come to this yard!"
Seeing that Zhuxiang still had a look of hesitation on his face, the man urged: "My lady, hurry up! The general left us here just to pick up my lady and leave Chang'an! The chariots and horses are already waiting outside the yard!"
"Liao Suwei diverts the attention of those men in black, and he will join us!"
The man in black said so.
The night is quiet, and there seems to be a faint sound of fighting in the distance being carried by the wind.
Zhu Xiang hurriedly supported Xiao Yuzhuo, "Is my lady's body still able to bear it?"
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "I'm fine."
Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang helped Xiao Yuzhuo onto the carriage, one on the left and the other on the right.
Mei Xiang, who was still in a coma, was also put on the carriage.
The men in black drove Xiao Yuzhuo's master and servant away from the courtyard in a carriage.
They didn't go too fast in the carriage, but the journey seemed to be a bit detoured.
When they circled to the south of the city, the morning drums were dense like raindrops, gradually spreading from the walls of the imperial city.
The city gate opened slowly.
The man in black had already changed his clothes on the shaft of the car at some point. He was dressed in coarse cloth and shorts, and he looked like an ordinary driver.
Xiao Yuzhuo and his party rushed out of the city gate among the first wave of people entering and leaving Chang'an City in the early morning.
"Why isn't she awake?" Zhu Xiang frowned and looked at Mei Xiang.
Ju Xiang shook her head, "She's fine, if it wasn't for the shaking in the car, she would have woken up with acupuncture, but now she doesn't need it, and she will wake up in half an hour."
Before half an hour had passed, the carriage had already stopped.
Zhuxiang immediately lifted the curtain of the car and took a look outside, "Lady, we have arrived at a Zhuangzi."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, as long as she left the palace, her mood would be much easier.
The child in her womb seemed to have a tacit understanding that this moment was extraordinary, but it was extraordinarily peaceful in her womb.
"Lady, come down and rest for a while." The person outside the car said.
Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang helped Xiao Yuzhuo get off the carriage, and the unconscious Mei Xiang was also carried off.
This Zhuangzi is not big, and there are a few families living here and there, and they all seem to be honest.
This is a good place for Tibetans, too ordinary and inconspicuous.
"My lady, please, the quilts in the house are all ready-made, new ones, I am wronged, and I will stay here for a while to avoid the limelight." The person who took them out of the city said with a smile, "little man Yuan Jiangtao, if you have anything to do, just tell me villain."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Thank you."
"Where's Liao Suwei, when can we meet up?" Zhuxiang asked.
The man raised his eyes and looked around Zhuangzi, "Suddenly took the lady away from Xiyuan. Although he arranged a cover-up, I'm afraid some people still don't give up. Liao Suwei still has some things to deal with. He will come when he is done. "
Zhuxiang snorted, nodded and helped Xiao Yuzhuo enter the door.
Zhuangzi is quiet, although it is not as magnificent as the palace, but it makes people feel at ease.
……
Liao Suwei, who was still in Chang'an City, rushed to the small courtyard he had arranged before the morning drum sounded.
I saw that the door of the small courtyard was open, and a lantern hanging on the porch was shaking in the wind, and the little light in the lantern was about to go out.
Liao Changsheng only felt his eyebrows twitch, and rushed to the hospital.
In the main room in the courtyard, the door was closed tightly, and it was quiet, not a single movement could be heard.
He stepped forward and pushed open the door, but there was no one in the door.
His expression changed immediately.
I only heard his subordinates running back from the backyard in a panic, "The carriage and horses are still there, but the lady is gone!"
The subordinate who was driving the horse was awakened by someone, and said with shame on his face: "Another group of people came, knocked the subordinates unconscious, and robbed the lady..."
Liao Changsheng knocked over the desks around him with one punch.
"The task the general entrusted to me..."
He breathed heavily in anger, "They purposely entangled us in the city to hold us back...it turns out it's been long...huh!"
"After fighting several times, do you know who they are?"
The people standing in front of Liao Changsheng all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
They fought several times, but taking advantage of the darkness and fearing that there would be too much commotion in Chang'an City, both sides had reservations, so they couldn't find out the details of each other.
"Not good!" Liao Changsheng's expression froze.
His subordinates were all taken aback by him.
"Liao Suwei, what's wrong?" the subordinate asked in a panic.
The lady is gone, is there anything worse now?
"Have the people sent to other courtyards ever reported back?" Liao Changsheng asked with a dark face.
The subordinates looked at me and I looked at you, shaking their heads one after another.
"Quickly go to the other courtyard!" Liao Changsheng waved his hand, leading the crowd to jump up to the roof, across the eaves and walls of the courtyard.
But when they rushed to the other courtyard, it was still a step too late.
The gates of the two adjacent courtyards are open.
Before stepping in, you can see the mess in the yard.
Liao Changsheng quietly entered the courtyard, and he could see the servant lying on the ground.
Going further in, there are more traces of fighting, and there are traces of swords and swords on the walls and pillars.
He expected that if Xiyuan caught fire, they would make the fire uncontrollable once it started.
It is absolutely impossible for the Holy Majesty to snatch Miss Xiao.
Now that the general is leading his troops outside, there is no one in the hands of the Holy Master as a hostage, so he must not feel at ease.
He also sent someone to the other courtyard to pick up Mrs. Jing first.
According to his arrangement, Mrs. Jing and Mrs. Xiao should be in the small courtyard before that, and when the city gate is opened, he will escort them to leave Beijing and rush to the Western Regions to meet the general.
The general is loyal to the Holy Majesty, even if his wife and mother are not in the hands of the Holy Majesty, he will not betray the Holy Majesty.
Never thought about it... Liao Changsheng looked darkly, and searched all over the courtyard, but he still didn't see Mrs. Jing.
Instead, I saw the people he sent earlier, some of them were seriously injured and it was too late to treat them.
There are still some comatose, and now they wake up.
"Liao Suwei... madam... madam was..."
Liao Changsheng quickly lifted him up and leaned into his arms, "Where did Madam go? Has Madam ever been in danger?"
His face was anxious, and his eyes seemed to be lit twice.
The general has always trusted him and entrusted such an important matter to him.
The general must be waiting for his good news now...
But he lost his wife first, and now his wife...
How is he going to face the general?How to deal with the general?
"Madam was taken away by the guards in the palace..." After the man finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and passed out again.
Liao Changsheng put him on the ground, "One group of people will go to the farm, and the others will go to guard the gates of several cities, and pay close attention to those who leave the city..."
Before Liao Changsheng finished speaking, he heard the sound of morning drums and thunder, and the city of Chang'an shrouded in the faint morning light gradually woke up from its deep sleep.
"Hurry up! Go and guard the city gate immediately!" Liao Changsheng ordered.
When he led his people to the farm, he almost collided with the guards of Xiaoqi.
Liao Changsheng made a gesture, and the people he led hurriedly hid on both sides of the road.
I saw that the Xiaoqi guards arrested all the Jing family on the farm, including Jing Yannian's uncle, aunt Yang, cousin, sister-in-law, and their children.
On the other hand, Xiaoqiwei ignored the long-term and short-term laborers who worked on the farm.
Liao Changsheng frowned.
Does the Holy Majesty want to take these people into the palace as hostages?
Without Mrs. Xiao and the unborn child as hostages, the Holy Majesty can't feel at ease!
Liao Changsheng guessed right.
The fire in Xiyuan was burning very big. When the news reached His Majesty's ears, His Majesty sat up in shock.
The enraged attitude of the Holy One scared all the beauties who were sleeping that night to death.
"No matter what, I have to rescue the people inside!" The Holy One said angrily, "Also, send people to General Jing's other courtyard and the farm, and invite all his relatives into the palace!"
The fire in Xiyuan burned almost overnight.
The Holy Majesty also stayed up all night, hardly even daring to blink his eyes.
For fear of missing a moment of news.
The fire in Xiyuan was not put out until this morning.
The face of the Holy One was exhausted from a sleepless night.
A regular attendant entered the hall with his hands bowed, his head bowed without saying a word.
The Holy One coughed, "Xiyuan...how is the situation?"
The inner servant slightly raised his eyes, but he dared not speak.
"What am I asking you about?"
The regular attendant trembled slightly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the fire in Xiyuan has been extinguished, but the people inside have... already... burnt..."
"Your Majesty, General Jing's mother and uncle's family have been taken down!" A guard reported outside the hall.
The attendant heaved a sigh of relief.
But the Holy Majesty roared at the servant, "I ask you what happened to Xiyuan?"
"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, the Xiyuan was burned down, and the people inside... were all burned to death!" Nei Changshi was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop.
In the Golden Palace, there was a long period of silence.
The quiet heart seems to stop beating.
The Neichang attendant lowered his head, not daring to raise his eyes to look at the Holy Majesty.
I'm afraid that the wrath of the Holy One will burn me to death again.
Xiyuan has been burned to the ground.
The many corpses inside were also burnt beyond recognition.People who were originally whole, but now they are burned, it's almost the same if they haven't been burned to ashes...
"How could this be..." After a long time, I heard the Holy One muttering to himself.
"Xiyuan is fine, why did it suddenly catch fire?"
The Holy One is angry and afraid of the case.
There was a loud bang.
There was no sound in the hall, and the already dignified atmosphere became even more tense now.
"Investigate, let me investigate carefully, thoroughly investigate why the fire broke out in Xiyuan?" His Majesty squinted his eyes, "I don't believe that the fire will burn so big for no reason?"
The inner servant hurriedly retreated.
"Also, arrange the relatives of General Jing in the palace well, and make them strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to come near without reason! If there is another accident, I will see you later!"
"In addition, order Wuzuo to go to Xiyuan for an autopsy!"
His Majesty's order came down, and the servants around him who were directly following the order panicked.
The Holy One was furious, and now General Jing is holding an army of 40 and is resisting the Turkic invasion in the Western Regions.
General Jing's wife and children were burned to death in the palace...
If General Jing finds out about this...the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Liang Gongli!" His Majesty frowned, and said with a dark face, "This matter must be blocked, and no news should be leaked. No one can talk about this matter!"
"But Your Majesty..." Liang Gongli licked his lips, "Xiyuan is on fire, the fire is so big, can't we hide it?"
"Let's just say," His Majesty narrowed his eyes, "there was a fire, but fortunately the people inside escaped in time, and they were all right."
Liang Gongli nodded, "I know."
……
Liang Gongli also stepped back to make arrangements.
The people around the Holy Majesty were almost on alert.
This matter is of great importance and cannot be sloppy.
The servant Nei Chang, who was sent by the Holy Spirit to investigate the cause of the fire, soon found a clue.
Following this clue, a big hole was dug out.
This matter was traced, and it was found on the people of the royal family.
Nei Chang Shi did not dare to make a rash decision, so he had to report the clues he had now to the Holy Majesty.
"My Majesty, before the fire broke out in Xiyuan, the palace people said that Linglong, the maid beside the sixth princess, had been near Xiyuan many times."
The Holy Majesty was taken aback when he heard the words, "What?"
"The slave didn't dare to make wild guesses, so he inquired carefully and heard about something that seemed to be irrelevant at first."
During the vernal equinox, Li Huizhi clashed with Xiao Yuzhuo outside the palace and shot arrows at each other outside the palace during the vernal equinox. In the end, under Jing Yannian's intervention, she was humiliated and told the Holy Master in detail.
The Holy One was immediately furious.
"Ignorant idiot! Because of her little face? How dare she plan to burn Xiao Yuzhuo to death? She... Is she trying to kill me in Daxia?"
The way His Majesty gritted his teeth while speaking seemed to wish he could eat Li Huizhi raw.
"Go and take down the sixth princess and the court lady beside her!" The Holy Majesty ordered, "I will ask her personally!"
When Li Huizhi was brought before Shengshang, she cried very sadly.
"Father, my daughter has been wronged. Although I have a disagreement with Mrs. Xiao, I dare not take her life at this time. Is my daughter such a person who doesn't know the importance?"
"Tell me, why do your maids go to Xiyuan frequently?" The Holy Majesty asked coldly.
Li Huizhi looked at Linglong sideways.
Linglong's face was pale at this time, and her whole body couldn't stop trembling.
She was afraid, she didn't know whether she was afraid of the Holy Majesty, or the eunuch who had left a deep impression on her.
She has been to Xiyuan many times, and since she hooked up with the eunuch, her complexion has become worse and worse.
One night, she came back very late, all the gates of the palace had to be locked before she came back with a pale face.
And when she was serving Li Huizhi, Li Huizhi found spots of blood on the clothes under her skirt.
Ask her what's the matter, but she shakes her head and doesn't say anything. Whenever she touches her, she trembles all over.
The next day, when she was more emotionally stable, she told Li Huizhi that the eunuch agreed.
As a result, Li Huizhi was overjoyed and did not wait for the news of Xiao Yuzhuo's "accidental" death, but heard that there was a fire in Xiyuan.
"This must be Xiao Yuzhuo's scheme! It's her scheme, she wants to get away, so she set the fire herself!" Li Huizhi said anxiously.
The Holy One looked at her with a sneer, "Then, are you the one who came after her after the fire?"
The Holy One deliberately said that she helped Xiao Yuzhuo escape.
Li Huizhi's expression changed, "How is that possible, my daughter... how could she do such a thing of betraying her father?"
"Then tell me, why did your maid appear in Xiyuan?"
(End of this chapter)
The Holy Admiral Xiao Yuzhuo was under house arrest in Xiyuan, and now he was counting on Jing Yannian to win the battle for him, but he did not wrong Xiao Yuzhuo.
What she eats is the most exquisite in the palace.
Now even His Majesty has set an example of frugality, so as to save the treasury and fully support the war in the Western Regions.
Only her food here has not been cut down. There are 24 dishes for breakfast and lunch, and there are all kinds of bird's nest snacks in between. Only dinner, she eats less, she offered to reduce it to four dishes and one soup.
Zhu Xiang laid out the food, and Ju Xiang squatted aside to help.
She checked all the dishes before she dared to pass the chopsticks to Xiao Yuzhuo.
"Why are you so cautious? Your Majesty is reluctant to let me die now." Xiao Yuzhuo laughed.
"What's dead or not? The lady is really..." Mei Xiang stood at the door and muttered in a low voice.
"You guys come to eat too!" Xiao Yuzhuo greeted, "Now that you don't even have freedom, what's the point of distinguishing between superior and inferior?"
She reached out to pick up vegetables.
The child in her belly seemed to kick her hard.
The kick was so strong that Zhuxiang could see it through the thin skirt.
"Hey, the fetus is moving!" Zhuxiang excitedly said.
"What fetal movement? It was called fetal movement in three or four months, but now it's Xiaoshizi who is exercising his muscles and bones!" Ju Xiang laughed at her.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the food and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
She put down her chopsticks, "I don't want to eat."
"What's wrong?" Ju Xiang hurriedly checked the food, "But what's wrong?"
The closer the delivery was, the more nervous the three servant girls became.
The midwives in the palace could not be trusted, but none of them had any experience in delivering babies.
Even the doctor girl Juxiang has never experienced that scene.So now no matter everything, they pay extra attention.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "It's just that I suddenly don't want to eat, it has nothing to do with the food."
Zhu Xiang hurriedly put the food back, "Put it in the food box, so as not to cool down for a while. It happened that the maidservant's food didn't come up, and when it was delivered later, the maidservant accompanied the lady to eat together. "
Zhuxiang put away the food.
After waiting for about half an hour, the food from the maids was delivered.
Zhuxiang put Xiao Yuzhuo's food out of the food box again.
When she was about to hand the chopsticks to Xiao Yuzhuo, Ju Xiang grabbed her hand.
Zhuxiang was taken aback.
"This food is wrong!" Ju Xiang's expression changed immediately.
Zhu Xiang and Mei Xiang were startled, and they knelt and sat beside the case, "What's wrong?"
Ju Xiang glanced out.
It was getting dark outside by now.
Originally, dinner was supposed to be delivered before dark, but today their meal was half an hour late.
"Fortunately, it's half an hour late!" Ju Xiang pointed to the food on the plate and said, "Look at the soup color of this dish."
Zhu Xiang stared at it, "What's wrong with Tang Se?"
"The color of the soup has changed. Keep it warm in the food box. The color of the soup shouldn't change so quickly!" Ju Xiang took the silver needle to test the poison, but the silver needle didn't change color.
She couldn't help frowning.
Zhu Xiang and Mei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's because you think too much! Is there any soup that changes color and is poisonous?"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "It's always right to be careful, my eyelids are always twitching, and the child is also restless in the stomach, moving every now and then. It always feels like something is going on."
"Don't eat it." Ju Xiang looked at the food and frowned.
"Does not eat make the lady hungry? We can be hungry, but the lady still has children?" Mei Xiang disagreed.
Zhuxiang bit her lip and said nothing.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "Let's not eat today, I simply don't have any appetite."
"We're locked up here every day. It's okay not to eat a meal, but it's not a long-term solution, is it?" Mei Xiang grimaced.
Zhuxiang suddenly grabbed the chopsticks, "I eat!"
Ju Xiang pressed her hand, "Are you stupid?"
Zhu Xiang shook her head and smiled, "I'm not stupid. If there is no problem with this meal, it is the best. If there is a problem with this meal, it must be done without telling the truth. If something happens to me, my wife can use it to complain Question the Holy Majesty! The Holy Majesty will not dare to ignore it! General Jing is still fighting outside! How dare the Holy Majesty let the lady and the child in the womb of the lady suffer accidents?"
"That's not going to cost you!" Xiao Yuzhuo said helplessly.
Zhu Xiang chuckled, "Of course I can't pay for my servants if I'm outside, but isn't there a shortage of manpower here?"
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his forehead, "Go get a cat or dog, even if you try, you can't take human life to try."
Ju Xiang's face looked better now, she raised her hand to pat Zhu Xiang and said, "You still say you're not stupid? Cats and dogs can try it, but you have to pay for yourself, are you worth a cat?"
Zhuxiang grinned, got up quickly and went out, wanting to ask the eunuch at the door for a cat or dog.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a red light outside.
"Mom..." she called out.
Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang also ran to the door in a hurry, looked up and were shocked, "It's water——Xiyuan is water——"
It wasn't when the fire started, it spread quickly with the wind.
In an instant, it was as if a tongue of fire was licking a person's face.
Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang quickly retreated back into the house, and supported Xiao Yuzhuo, "Lady, it's on fire, the east chamber and the west chamber are all on fire, it has already surrounded this place, the maidservants protect the lady and rush out."
"The eunuchs outside are dead? The fire is so big, and they won't listen to their calls?" Mei Xiang scolded at the door, holding the curtain.
Things are a little strange.
Although Xiyuan is remote, there are many eunuchs stationed outside.
The fire was so big, they should have noticed it long ago.
But at this moment, there was no sound of putting out the fire.
"Don't worry about it, let's protect the lady and rush out first!" Zhuxiang shouted at Meixiang, "You pull down the curtain and block the front, we will support the lady."
Mei Xiang hurriedly pulled the curtain.
Before the door curtain was pulled open, a few people suddenly rushed in amidst the flames outside.
Black clothes and black gauze mask.
There are still a few figures on the shoulders.
The man pulled off the door curtain that Mei Xiang couldn't tear off.
Mei Xiang was taken aback, "There are thorns..."
The man reached out and blew on her.
Mei Xiang inhaled the powder blown away from his hand, and fell to the ground with a puff.
Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang turned pale with shock, they backed up protecting Xiao Yuzhuo.
Those few people ignored them, instead they threw the little maids on their shoulders to the ground, and picked up Mei Xiang.
Both Zhuxiang and Juxiang were calm people, they didn't cry out when they saw this.
No one came to rescue such a big fire, and they thought they were well prepared.
Even if they yelled, they would not be able to recruit rescuers, but they would actually irritate them.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a low voice.
The fire has spread from the east and west hatchbacks to the main room.
The man in black stepped forward.
Zhuxiang's figure tightened, and she lifted her foot like that person kicked her.
"We are here to rescue the lady!" the man said, clasping his hands.
Zhuxiang couldn't hold back her legs in time, and almost knocked herself down.
"One of my own?" Zhu Xiang frowned, "Then why did you make her faint?"
"If you shout and call in the guards, the lady will not be able to leave. While the fire is in a hurry, the lady will come with us!" the man in black said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo hesitated.
It is not clear whether these people are enemies or friends.
The man in black was in a hurry, "It won't take long, my lady, let's go!"
Both Zhuxiang and Juxiang looked at Xiao Yuzhuo, waiting for her to make up her mind.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, stroked his stomach, "Let's go!"
A man in black walked ahead with Mei Xiang on his shoulders, and the other carried Ju Xiang, who knew no kung fu.
When the talking man in black was about to help Xiao Yuzhuo, Zhu Xiang gave him a hard look, "My wife, I'll do it!"
"Are you good at kung fu?" the man in black asked suspiciously.
Zhuxiang snorted, pursed her lips and ignored him, and supported Xiao Yuzhuo's feet to make the wind blow.
There seemed to be a lot of people in black.
The fire in Xiyuan has already attracted the attention of the palace people.
The sound of someone running towards this side could be vaguely heard outside the fire.
The man in black seems to be very familiar with the layout of the palace.
With Xiao Yuzhuo and his party, they escaped the night watchmen and the people who rushed to put out the fire.
We are about to leave the palace wall.
Xiao Yuzhuo breathed a sigh of relief.
I saw some other men in black climbed over the palace wall.
Xiao Yuzhuo thought that these were the people who came to meet him.
Unexpectedly, the footsteps of the leading man in black stopped.
Then the two sides fought.
Zhuxiang and Juxiang were all stunned.
Zhuxiang hurriedly protected Xiao Yuzhuo and hid at the base of the city wall.
The men in black fought hand to hand, they all looked at Xiao Yuzhuo's master and servant who was hiding at the base of the wall.
Xiao Yuzhuo felt that he could no longer tell the difference between the two groups of men in black.
But suddenly, someone slammed away the person who was pestering him, and immediately stepped forward to hold Zhuxiang's wrist and said: "It's me, take the lady away!"
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't recognize that person's voice.
Zhuxiang showed joy and nodded repeatedly.
"Send the lady out of the palace first!" the man in black ordered in a low voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo was carrying her belly, the man in black wanted to carry her, but seeing that it was inconvenient to carry her on his back, he had to hold her arms with Zhuxiang on one side and the other on the right.
The other men in black were stacked up like Arhats under the city wall.
"The people who watch the night will pass by every incense stick. There is not much time, so hurry up!" the man in black said to Zhuxiang.
Zhu Xiang nodded with him, the two supported Xiao Yuzhuo, stepped on the shoulders of those men in black, and jumped up the city wall.
In the distance, there are patrolling people coming here.
Before they had time to hesitate, they flew and jumped down.
The men in black who had been fighting with them before jumped out of the city wall one step ahead of them.
Xiao Yuzhuo only felt that it was over.
Must be discovered.
Once those men in black fought with them outside the city wall, wouldn't they be discovered by the night watchmen right away?
Then she can't run away.
I never thought that those men in black who jumped out of the city wall first, instead of making a sound, quickly built a personal ladder underneath.
Zhu Xiang and the man in black supported Xiao Yuzhuo, and ran down the man's ladder.
The two of them jumped off the city wall with kung fu, at most saving their legs.
But as a pregnant woman, Xiao Yuzhuo didn't dare to save like this.
After landing safely, the men in black on both sides heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yuzhuo was confused now, did the two sides know each other, or didn't they know each other?
Why are they still fighting inside the palace walls, but now they are helping each other?
Seeing the man in black carrying Mei Xiang, Ju Xiang also escaped from the palace wall.
They didn't dare to stop, taking advantage of the darkness, they ran in a hurry.
In a small alley far away from the palace wall, there was a carriage parked.
The man in black pointed at Zhuxiang, "Get in the car!"
He then turned around to stop the group of men in black who were outside the city wall and took a ladder to meet them, but kept chasing them.
Zhuxiang hugged Xiao Yuzhuo's waist and jumped into the carriage.
Fortunately, there are thick cushions and huge pillows in the carriage.
Xiao Yuzhuo supported his heart and leaned against the pillow.
Before he could sit still, the carriage jumped out.
"There is a curfew in Chang'an City, won't this carriage be discovered if it runs like this?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked Zhuxiang.
Zhu Xiang shook her head, also with a blank face, "I don't know what they will do?"
The sound of the men in black fighting was gradually left behind.
Along the way, I didn't meet the Jinwu Guard who was watching the night.
The carriage seemed to have driven into a courtyard and stopped in the quiet courtyard.
"Mistress, get out of the car and rest for a while." The person outside the car said.
Zhuxiang lifted the curtain and took a look outside.
The yard was dark, except for a lantern hanging on the porch, casting a dim light on the ground.
"Come on, lady." Zhu Xiang held Xiao Yuzhuo's hand.
Xiao Yuzhuo was still in a daze at the moment, but her expression was calmer than when she was in the palace.
Zhuxiang supported her, walked to the porch where the lantern was hung, opened the door, the room was simple and clean.
There was an oil lamp on the table facing the door.
Zhuxiang wanted to go forward to light the lamp, but the man in black outside the door stopped her.
"The villain parked the chariot and horses in the backyard. When the morning drums and thunder sounded, the lady could start from the backyard by chariot." After the man in black finished speaking, he looked around and led the chariot and horses to the backyard.
There was no light in the room, it was pitch black.
Zhu Xiang had no choice but to open the door, borrowing the light from the porch, brought a chair and helped Xiao Yuzhuo to sit down.
"When Xiu Yuan was leaving, he said that he would accompany me to give birth, so he didn't scare me, could it be..." Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a low voice.
Zhuxiang nodded excitedly, "Miss, didn't you hear that? The man in black who helped her out of the city wall was Liao Changsheng, the guard next to the general?"
Xiao Yuzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, "I really didn't hear it."
"Now you can rest assured, Xiao Shizi finally doesn't have to be born in such an unfree place!" Zhu Xiang giggled.
Suddenly there was some movement outside the yard.
Like a frightened bird, she stood in front of Xiao Yuzhuo.
Seeing that the visitor was still carrying chrysanthemum and plum fragrance, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, they all came out." Zhu Xiang stepped forward to take Mei Xiang.
But the man in black hid, cupped his hands and said: "My lady, go away, it is not suitable to stay here for long."
As he said that, he was about to come to help Xiao Yuzhuo.
Zhu Xiang stood in front of Xiao Yuzhuo, "Didn't you leave when the morning drum and thunder sounded?"
The man in black was a little anxious, "I can't wait anymore, there is another son who wants to steal the lady secretly, and I don't know who they are. Although they are helping each other outside the city wall, it is still unclear whether they are enemies or friends. "
Zhuxiang frowned, "Where's Liao Suwei?"
The man paused, "Liao Suwei is dragging them, they are following the lady all the way, and they have come to this yard!"
Seeing that Zhuxiang still had a look of hesitation on his face, the man urged: "My lady, hurry up! The general left us here just to pick up my lady and leave Chang'an! The chariots and horses are already waiting outside the yard!"
"Liao Suwei diverts the attention of those men in black, and he will join us!"
The man in black said so.
The night is quiet, and there seems to be a faint sound of fighting in the distance being carried by the wind.
Zhu Xiang hurriedly supported Xiao Yuzhuo, "Is my lady's body still able to bear it?"
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "I'm fine."
Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang helped Xiao Yuzhuo onto the carriage, one on the left and the other on the right.
Mei Xiang, who was still in a coma, was also put on the carriage.
The men in black drove Xiao Yuzhuo's master and servant away from the courtyard in a carriage.
They didn't go too fast in the carriage, but the journey seemed to be a bit detoured.
When they circled to the south of the city, the morning drums were dense like raindrops, gradually spreading from the walls of the imperial city.
The city gate opened slowly.
The man in black had already changed his clothes on the shaft of the car at some point. He was dressed in coarse cloth and shorts, and he looked like an ordinary driver.
Xiao Yuzhuo and his party rushed out of the city gate among the first wave of people entering and leaving Chang'an City in the early morning.
"Why isn't she awake?" Zhu Xiang frowned and looked at Mei Xiang.
Ju Xiang shook her head, "She's fine, if it wasn't for the shaking in the car, she would have woken up with acupuncture, but now she doesn't need it, and she will wake up in half an hour."
Before half an hour had passed, the carriage had already stopped.
Zhuxiang immediately lifted the curtain of the car and took a look outside, "Lady, we have arrived at a Zhuangzi."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, as long as she left the palace, her mood would be much easier.
The child in her womb seemed to have a tacit understanding that this moment was extraordinary, but it was extraordinarily peaceful in her womb.
"Lady, come down and rest for a while." The person outside the car said.
Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang helped Xiao Yuzhuo get off the carriage, and the unconscious Mei Xiang was also carried off.
This Zhuangzi is not big, and there are a few families living here and there, and they all seem to be honest.
This is a good place for Tibetans, too ordinary and inconspicuous.
"My lady, please, the quilts in the house are all ready-made, new ones, I am wronged, and I will stay here for a while to avoid the limelight." The person who took them out of the city said with a smile, "little man Yuan Jiangtao, if you have anything to do, just tell me villain."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Thank you."
"Where's Liao Suwei, when can we meet up?" Zhuxiang asked.
The man raised his eyes and looked around Zhuangzi, "Suddenly took the lady away from Xiyuan. Although he arranged a cover-up, I'm afraid some people still don't give up. Liao Suwei still has some things to deal with. He will come when he is done. "
Zhuxiang snorted, nodded and helped Xiao Yuzhuo enter the door.
Zhuangzi is quiet, although it is not as magnificent as the palace, but it makes people feel at ease.
……
Liao Suwei, who was still in Chang'an City, rushed to the small courtyard he had arranged before the morning drum sounded.
I saw that the door of the small courtyard was open, and a lantern hanging on the porch was shaking in the wind, and the little light in the lantern was about to go out.
Liao Changsheng only felt his eyebrows twitch, and rushed to the hospital.
In the main room in the courtyard, the door was closed tightly, and it was quiet, not a single movement could be heard.
He stepped forward and pushed open the door, but there was no one in the door.
His expression changed immediately.
I only heard his subordinates running back from the backyard in a panic, "The carriage and horses are still there, but the lady is gone!"
The subordinate who was driving the horse was awakened by someone, and said with shame on his face: "Another group of people came, knocked the subordinates unconscious, and robbed the lady..."
Liao Changsheng knocked over the desks around him with one punch.
"The task the general entrusted to me..."
He breathed heavily in anger, "They purposely entangled us in the city to hold us back...it turns out it's been long...huh!"
"After fighting several times, do you know who they are?"
The people standing in front of Liao Changsheng all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
They fought several times, but taking advantage of the darkness and fearing that there would be too much commotion in Chang'an City, both sides had reservations, so they couldn't find out the details of each other.
"Not good!" Liao Changsheng's expression froze.
His subordinates were all taken aback by him.
"Liao Suwei, what's wrong?" the subordinate asked in a panic.
The lady is gone, is there anything worse now?
"Have the people sent to other courtyards ever reported back?" Liao Changsheng asked with a dark face.
The subordinates looked at me and I looked at you, shaking their heads one after another.
"Quickly go to the other courtyard!" Liao Changsheng waved his hand, leading the crowd to jump up to the roof, across the eaves and walls of the courtyard.
But when they rushed to the other courtyard, it was still a step too late.
The gates of the two adjacent courtyards are open.
Before stepping in, you can see the mess in the yard.
Liao Changsheng quietly entered the courtyard, and he could see the servant lying on the ground.
Going further in, there are more traces of fighting, and there are traces of swords and swords on the walls and pillars.
He expected that if Xiyuan caught fire, they would make the fire uncontrollable once it started.
It is absolutely impossible for the Holy Majesty to snatch Miss Xiao.
Now that the general is leading his troops outside, there is no one in the hands of the Holy Master as a hostage, so he must not feel at ease.
He also sent someone to the other courtyard to pick up Mrs. Jing first.
According to his arrangement, Mrs. Jing and Mrs. Xiao should be in the small courtyard before that, and when the city gate is opened, he will escort them to leave Beijing and rush to the Western Regions to meet the general.
The general is loyal to the Holy Majesty, even if his wife and mother are not in the hands of the Holy Majesty, he will not betray the Holy Majesty.
Never thought about it... Liao Changsheng looked darkly, and searched all over the courtyard, but he still didn't see Mrs. Jing.
Instead, I saw the people he sent earlier, some of them were seriously injured and it was too late to treat them.
There are still some comatose, and now they wake up.
"Liao Suwei... madam... madam was..."
Liao Changsheng quickly lifted him up and leaned into his arms, "Where did Madam go? Has Madam ever been in danger?"
His face was anxious, and his eyes seemed to be lit twice.
The general has always trusted him and entrusted such an important matter to him.
The general must be waiting for his good news now...
But he lost his wife first, and now his wife...
How is he going to face the general?How to deal with the general?
"Madam was taken away by the guards in the palace..." After the man finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and passed out again.
Liao Changsheng put him on the ground, "One group of people will go to the farm, and the others will go to guard the gates of several cities, and pay close attention to those who leave the city..."
Before Liao Changsheng finished speaking, he heard the sound of morning drums and thunder, and the city of Chang'an shrouded in the faint morning light gradually woke up from its deep sleep.
"Hurry up! Go and guard the city gate immediately!" Liao Changsheng ordered.
When he led his people to the farm, he almost collided with the guards of Xiaoqi.
Liao Changsheng made a gesture, and the people he led hurriedly hid on both sides of the road.
I saw that the Xiaoqi guards arrested all the Jing family on the farm, including Jing Yannian's uncle, aunt Yang, cousin, sister-in-law, and their children.
On the other hand, Xiaoqiwei ignored the long-term and short-term laborers who worked on the farm.
Liao Changsheng frowned.
Does the Holy Majesty want to take these people into the palace as hostages?
Without Mrs. Xiao and the unborn child as hostages, the Holy Majesty can't feel at ease!
Liao Changsheng guessed right.
The fire in Xiyuan was burning very big. When the news reached His Majesty's ears, His Majesty sat up in shock.
The enraged attitude of the Holy One scared all the beauties who were sleeping that night to death.
"No matter what, I have to rescue the people inside!" The Holy One said angrily, "Also, send people to General Jing's other courtyard and the farm, and invite all his relatives into the palace!"
The fire in Xiyuan burned almost overnight.
The Holy Majesty also stayed up all night, hardly even daring to blink his eyes.
For fear of missing a moment of news.
The fire in Xiyuan was not put out until this morning.
The face of the Holy One was exhausted from a sleepless night.
A regular attendant entered the hall with his hands bowed, his head bowed without saying a word.
The Holy One coughed, "Xiyuan...how is the situation?"
The inner servant slightly raised his eyes, but he dared not speak.
"What am I asking you about?"
The regular attendant trembled slightly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the fire in Xiyuan has been extinguished, but the people inside have... already... burnt..."
"Your Majesty, General Jing's mother and uncle's family have been taken down!" A guard reported outside the hall.
The attendant heaved a sigh of relief.
But the Holy Majesty roared at the servant, "I ask you what happened to Xiyuan?"
"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, the Xiyuan was burned down, and the people inside... were all burned to death!" Nei Changshi was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop.
In the Golden Palace, there was a long period of silence.
The quiet heart seems to stop beating.
The Neichang attendant lowered his head, not daring to raise his eyes to look at the Holy Majesty.
I'm afraid that the wrath of the Holy One will burn me to death again.
Xiyuan has been burned to the ground.
The many corpses inside were also burnt beyond recognition.People who were originally whole, but now they are burned, it's almost the same if they haven't been burned to ashes...
"How could this be..." After a long time, I heard the Holy One muttering to himself.
"Xiyuan is fine, why did it suddenly catch fire?"
The Holy One is angry and afraid of the case.
There was a loud bang.
There was no sound in the hall, and the already dignified atmosphere became even more tense now.
"Investigate, let me investigate carefully, thoroughly investigate why the fire broke out in Xiyuan?" His Majesty squinted his eyes, "I don't believe that the fire will burn so big for no reason?"
The inner servant hurriedly retreated.
"Also, arrange the relatives of General Jing in the palace well, and make them strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to come near without reason! If there is another accident, I will see you later!"
"In addition, order Wuzuo to go to Xiyuan for an autopsy!"
His Majesty's order came down, and the servants around him who were directly following the order panicked.
The Holy One was furious, and now General Jing is holding an army of 40 and is resisting the Turkic invasion in the Western Regions.
General Jing's wife and children were burned to death in the palace...
If General Jing finds out about this...the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Liang Gongli!" His Majesty frowned, and said with a dark face, "This matter must be blocked, and no news should be leaked. No one can talk about this matter!"
"But Your Majesty..." Liang Gongli licked his lips, "Xiyuan is on fire, the fire is so big, can't we hide it?"
"Let's just say," His Majesty narrowed his eyes, "there was a fire, but fortunately the people inside escaped in time, and they were all right."
Liang Gongli nodded, "I know."
……
Liang Gongli also stepped back to make arrangements.
The people around the Holy Majesty were almost on alert.
This matter is of great importance and cannot be sloppy.
The servant Nei Chang, who was sent by the Holy Spirit to investigate the cause of the fire, soon found a clue.
Following this clue, a big hole was dug out.
This matter was traced, and it was found on the people of the royal family.
Nei Chang Shi did not dare to make a rash decision, so he had to report the clues he had now to the Holy Majesty.
"My Majesty, before the fire broke out in Xiyuan, the palace people said that Linglong, the maid beside the sixth princess, had been near Xiyuan many times."
The Holy Majesty was taken aback when he heard the words, "What?"
"The slave didn't dare to make wild guesses, so he inquired carefully and heard about something that seemed to be irrelevant at first."
During the vernal equinox, Li Huizhi clashed with Xiao Yuzhuo outside the palace and shot arrows at each other outside the palace during the vernal equinox. In the end, under Jing Yannian's intervention, she was humiliated and told the Holy Master in detail.
The Holy One was immediately furious.
"Ignorant idiot! Because of her little face? How dare she plan to burn Xiao Yuzhuo to death? She... Is she trying to kill me in Daxia?"
The way His Majesty gritted his teeth while speaking seemed to wish he could eat Li Huizhi raw.
"Go and take down the sixth princess and the court lady beside her!" The Holy Majesty ordered, "I will ask her personally!"
When Li Huizhi was brought before Shengshang, she cried very sadly.
"Father, my daughter has been wronged. Although I have a disagreement with Mrs. Xiao, I dare not take her life at this time. Is my daughter such a person who doesn't know the importance?"
"Tell me, why do your maids go to Xiyuan frequently?" The Holy Majesty asked coldly.
Li Huizhi looked at Linglong sideways.
Linglong's face was pale at this time, and her whole body couldn't stop trembling.
She was afraid, she didn't know whether she was afraid of the Holy Majesty, or the eunuch who had left a deep impression on her.
She has been to Xiyuan many times, and since she hooked up with the eunuch, her complexion has become worse and worse.
One night, she came back very late, all the gates of the palace had to be locked before she came back with a pale face.
And when she was serving Li Huizhi, Li Huizhi found spots of blood on the clothes under her skirt.
Ask her what's the matter, but she shakes her head and doesn't say anything. Whenever she touches her, she trembles all over.
The next day, when she was more emotionally stable, she told Li Huizhi that the eunuch agreed.
As a result, Li Huizhi was overjoyed and did not wait for the news of Xiao Yuzhuo's "accidental" death, but heard that there was a fire in Xiyuan.
"This must be Xiao Yuzhuo's scheme! It's her scheme, she wants to get away, so she set the fire herself!" Li Huizhi said anxiously.
The Holy One looked at her with a sneer, "Then, are you the one who came after her after the fire?"
The Holy One deliberately said that she helped Xiao Yuzhuo escape.
Li Huizhi's expression changed, "How is that possible, my daughter... how could she do such a thing of betraying her father?"
"Then tell me, why did your maid appear in Xiyuan?"
