The emperor's favorite useless concubine

Chapter 129
It was scorched black, and it looked rather desolate.

"Let someone clean up their bones." He Lanchun did not know when he reappeared behind Pei Ruochen, his expression was gloomy, but his tone was light: "Find the empress dowager's body and bury it properly."

"Yes." Pei Ruochen replied in a low voice without looking back.

The shadow behind him suddenly lit up, and He Lanchun had already left.

Pei Ruochen felt breathless just now, but with He Lanchun's departure, he became more relaxed again.

The bones of the four sentences have all been cleared from the sea of ​​fire, three adult male corpses and one female corpse.

The news of the empress dowager's violence was also released.

The names of He Lanxue and He Lanqin were officially removed from the world.It was announced to the outside world that only the Buddhist hall caught fire and the rescue failed, and three people died unfortunately.

No one doubted this statement, because when the Buddhist hall caught fire, the billowing thick smoke burst out from the red walls and blue tiles of the palace, and filled the street all the way.

On the street, Yi Ren and Yi Jian stopped at the same time.

"The palace seems to be on fire." Yi Ren looked up at the green smoke in the air and said to himself.

Yi Jian's expression changed slightly, but because of Yi Ren, he still tried his best to keep calm, "Maybe something is burning in the palace."

I'm afraid even Yi Jian himself doesn't believe this statement.

Although the air has been dry recently, it has rained a few times in the past few days, so it is impossible to start a fire for no reason.

The prince happens to be entering the palace today, and the empress dowager's illness is very strange, this fire is too problematic.

Yi Jian endured it for a long time before he didn't show his worries on his face.

Mr. Feng went with the prince, Mr. Feng has always been clever, this time, he can save the day, right?
All he could do was comfort himself.

"Axue is inside." Yi Ren said again.

Yi Jian was stunned, and gave a naive 'Yes'.

Yi Ren didn't make a sound, but she didn't leave either. She stared firmly at the wisps of blue smoke blown by the wind, her face was serious, her big eyes didn't blink, as if she wanted to pass through the lingering green smoke, See the depths of the palace.

"Princess, let's go." Yi Jian suddenly became worried, and Yi Ren's expression at the moment made him uneasy.

She wasn't necessarily sad or worried, but she was very focused, looking at the magnificent palace wall and the less and less smoke, her fleshy mouth was tightly pursed, with a stubborn look Feel.

The smoke finally began to clear, and the people in the palace were fighting the fire.

Yi Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Yi Jian's heart was raised.

There were 27 bell strikes in the palace.

That's a mournful sound.

It is the mourning sound of the Queen Mother's death.

Just as the fire was extinguished, such a sound came out, and Yi Jian felt deeply ominous.

Yi Ren's eyes finally blinked, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eye sockets became inexplicably moist.

On the street, other people also stopped and listened to the sound of the bell hitting the sky. They were silent at first, and then there was a burst of whispering.

The Empress Dowager had been ill for a long time, and no one would be surprised if she passed away suddenly.

What's more, for most people in the Celestial Dynasty, the Empress Dowager was just a symbol, and she never held a very important position in politics. Even though her death was a national mourning, it didn't affect the world much.

Pedestrians on the street quickly resumed walking.

Yi Ren still didn't move, still standing where he was, staring blankly at the high palace wall in front of him.

Then, the nearby palace door suddenly opened wide.

A eunuch in brocade clothes galloped out holding a white filial belt. He was an official of the imperial court. Whenever there was any big or small event in the celestial dynasty, whether it was victory or defeat on the battlefield, or the promulgation of a decree, or the appointment of an official, or the death of a member of the royal family, there would be an order. There are such full-time officials who went to the street to shout a few times to show the public to listen.

Sure enough, after a while, the eunuch's piercing voice sounded.

"The Empress Dowager. General He Lanqin and the traitor He Lanxue died in the fire!"

After the news came out, it caused an uproar.

He Lanxue didn't stop for the time being, but He Lanqin's sudden death was really a great loss to the Celestial Dynasty.

Among all the people, Yi Jian and Yi Ren were the most surprised.

Yi Jian only felt a blank in his mind, he couldn't even see the bright world clearly.

Yi Ren was stunned, and then, before Yi Jian could react, Yi Ren had already run towards the palace gate.

Fast and flustered.

She ran towards it almost without thinking, but the guard at the palace gate stopped her naturally, Yi Ren refused to let her go, and didn't say anything, just pushed the guard, trying to get in.

The guard frowned, thinking that he had encountered some crazy woman.

Yi Jian hurried over, enduring his sorrow, grabbed Yi Ren and said, "Princess, let's go back first, my lord... my lord..."

"Of course nothing will happen to Ah Xue." Yi Ren turned her head and looked at him very calmly, "He is inside, he must have been detained by the emperor, I want to go in."

After Yi Ren finished speaking, she tried to enter the palace again, her small face was tense, such a look, so firm, so confident, made Yi Jian feel a little dazed.

However, just as he walked up to her and stretched out his arms to stop her, Yi Jian inadvertently saw the tears on Yi Ren's cheek.

Yi Ren's tears kept rolling in her eyes, misty, covering the sadness in her eyes.Sorrow and persistence, dive into the pair of water-shearing eyes together, shining with light, they are the cold stars of the winter night.

She is still firm, firm that He Lanxue is not dead.

But what was it that made her burst into tears?

Yi Jian bent down without saying a word, intending to forcibly resist Yi Ren.

Whether the prince is still alive or not, his duty now is to take good care of the princess and take her away from this place of right and wrong.

And just when Yi Jian was about to stand up, Yi Ren suddenly fell to the side and shouted loudly behind him: "Pei Ruochen!"

Yi Jian was surprised, and looked back: on the passage leading to the deep palace, Pei Ruochen was leading a group of officials from the Celestial Dynasty, walking slowly towards this side.

Hearing the cry, Pei Ruochen stopped in his tracks and looked over indifferently.

The officials who followed closely behind Pei Ruochen and flattered him also stopped. They followed Mr. Pei's gaze, only to see a girl with a round face and a pretty face and a tall figure. A man with a valiant look.

The girl was looking towards this side earnestly, looking at Mr. Pei, and called Mr. Pei's name again.

"Pei Ruochen!"

In the Celestial Dynasty, it is really rare to dare to call Mr. Pei by his first name like this.

I don't know who this girl is from?
Yi Jian wanted to take Yi Ren away, but when he saw Pei Ruochen, he also hesitated: Maybe, he can find out what's going on.

With this hesitation, Yi Ren had already run in.

——Yi Ren called Pei Ruochen by his first name, which made the palace guards hesitate for a while.

It can be seen that Pei Ruochen has a profound influence on the Celestial Dynasty, and his power is almost comparable to that of He Lanchun.

Yi Ren ran up to Pei Ruochen, panting and flushed.
