Chapter 546 The situation is serious
As a result, as soon as the words fell, Chongyi, in a panic, accidentally supported Meng Yan's chest, and Meng Yan immediately coughed violently with her mouth open as if expelling a mouthful of foul air.

Seeing this, the people around couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Meng Yan reassured Chongyi and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine..." She looked up and looked around, her gaze focused on the charred skeleton of the dormitory, she couldn't believe it, "Did we really escape?"

Chongyi nodded heavily.

It was only later that Meng Yan noticed that the emperor was there, and hurriedly stood up to salute.

The emperor said: "The princess is free." It was not the time to ask, and he ordered the palace humanely, "Hurry up and help the princess to rest. As soon as the imperial doctor arrives, show it to the princess."

Meng Yan saluted with difficulty and said hoarsely, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then Meng Yan was supported by two court ladies, and together with Chongyi went to the side hall that was not affected by the fire to rest.

Chongyi took the initiative to take over and said, "I'll do it."

Meng Yan was used to being supported by her, so she handed her his hand and asked, "Can you?"

Chongyi said: "Yes."

Meng Yan said: "That's fine, I can also help you walk."

Seeing that they were supporting each other, the two maids seemed to be brothers and sisters in trouble, and they walked forward step by step, quite desolate.

The maid said: "Let's help the concubine as a servant."

Meng Yan said: "No need, we are afraid of being burned, we will go by ourselves."

These two maids were appointed by Eunuch Huang, they were from his side, they couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words, and followed behind silently.

Meng Yan and Chongyi were walking in front, and in the eyes of the palace maids, they were brothers in need, suffering from the same disease, but the two of them seemed to be friends and hooked up...

The two were quietly exchanging questions about their acting skills just now.

Meng Yan: "You acted very realistically just now."

Chongyi must have been with her for such a long time anyway, she could learn a little from Meng Yan's one-stop performance at the last winter ceremony.

But Chongyi couldn't figure it out, and said: "Why do I have to wake up first, obviously you wake up first, the role of the scene is all yours."

Meng Yan: "What do you mean I wake up first? We have to follow the routine, too. Usually the attendants wake up first."

On the emperor's side, before he had time to understand what happened, the palace servant who had been sent to the Buddhist hall of the bedroom to check the situation tremblingly reported: "Your Majesty, the queen mother's bedroom and Buddhist hall are also on fire, and the fire in the bedroom has been extinguished." But the ones in the Buddhist hall have not yet. The Queen Mother was trapped in the Buddhist hall, and when she was rescued, she was in a very, very serious condition..."

As soon as the emperor heard this, he immediately strode towards the Buddhist hall.

Before that, when the palace people of the Empress Dowager's Palace saw the thick smoke and faint fire and hurriedly gathered outside the Buddhist hall, they saw that the Buddhist hall was already brightly lit.

The eunuch next to the queen mother was so frightened that she was not sure if the queen mother was still inside, and immediately ordered several eunuchs to put on wet clothes and rush in the door.

There was a sea of ​​flames inside the Buddhist hall, and the Buddha statues were lying on the ground, some of the nuns were burnt to charcoal; You, with his eyes wide open, still seemed to have a ferocious expression on his face, showing a horrific death.

The eunuch who rushed in saw the queen mother lying beside the Buddha statue, and had already fallen into a deep coma.Fortunately, the Buddha statue is huge, just like a shelter from the wind, blocking most of the falling beams.

Not knowing how the Queen Mother was doing, several eunuchs worked together to rescue the Queen Mother immediately.

It's just that the rescued woman's dress was scorched, with many burn marks, and her hair was messy and half burnt, so she didn't have the usual dignified appearance.

The eunuch woke her up and ordered someone to carry her to her place.He hurried to call the imperial physician again.

Not long after Meng Yan and Chongyi sat down in the side hall, they drank a few cups of tea to moisten their throats, and then the imperial physician came.

Meng Yan also heard that the queen mother was rescued from the Buddhist hall, she was in a very serious condition, and she was in urgent need of the imperial physician, so instead of asking the imperial physician to see her, she hurriedly sent the imperial physician to the empress dowager's place.

On the other side of the Buddhist hall, although the queen mother was rescued, but such a large building, those who should put out the fire have to continue to put out the fire.

On the way, the emperor saw the palace people rushing back and forth, carrying basins and buckets in a hurry, and they didn't bother to salute the emperor, they just poured all the water and sent it to the Buddhist hall.

The emperor said solemnly: "Have you invited the imperial physician?"

The eunuch hurriedly replied, "I've already gone."

Later, Meng Yan and Chong Yi also came to the Buddhist hall. They were still in a mess and had no time to take care of them. Seeing the raging fire, Meng Yan also wanted to help.

The emperor said: "Princess Yin Wu can't rest well, why did she come out?"

Meng Yan said: "My wife also wants to do her best. My wife has rested for a while, and she is already much better."

The emperor couldn't help but look at this Buddhist building. It was so high that if it was all burned up, it would easily spread to other places, and the consequences would be disastrous.

The copper and iron tanks used to store water and prevent fire in this palace have all been scooped up. The largest lake in the palace is quite a distance away, and more manpower is needed.

Even Eunuch Huang has already rolled up his sleeves to help.

Therefore, the emperor did not refuse, and said: "The princess has a heart, I am really touched. It's just that the fire is scorching, the princess needs to be careful, don't get hurt again."

Meng Yan said, "My wife knows."

Back and forth, although she and Chongyi moved a bit slower, they were really catching water and putting out fire.

Everyone concentrated their efforts, and they managed to control the fire before the fire rushed to the entire Buddhist building.

In this room, Yin Heng easily walked around the palace, and calmly walked out of the palace.

But he didn't go far, pausing in the night beyond the range of the patrolling guards.

Tonight, Chongxian was here to meet him. When he saw his prince come out, he opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but he knew he was out of bounds, so he didn't ask anything.

Yin Heng knew what he wanted to ask, so he casually said: "It's all fine." He untied his sleeves and took off his outer robe without haste.

Chongxian said in a low voice, "Thank you, my lord."

Yin Heng turned the robe over and put it on again, and the inner side appeared on the outside, changing from black to dark purple.

He straightened the front of his clothes, and suddenly he was dressed in a wide-sleeved toga.He stroked the hem of his sleeve casually, with a calm expression, and the sharp feeling faded away, adding a bit of softness.

Then Yin Heng took the dignified place to the main gate of the palace.

In the palace, the imperial physicians in the entire imperial hospital were doing their best to treat the queen mother. As soon as the emperor sat down in the brightly lit hall, he heard a report that King Wu of Yin begged to see him overnight.

With such a big battle in the palace tonight, many people outside the palace may have seen it.

Princess Yin Wu is still living in the palace, so it is not surprising that King Yin Wu came here overnight.

The emperor ordered people to announce that King Wu of Yin would come into the palace.
