Chapter 940 Waiting
Yin Lian blinked and said, "Brother, why are you talking so much today?"

Then the thirteenth prince went to the dining hall first.After the two had washed up, the palace servants also retreated, and Yin Lian murmured to Yin Lin: "Brother, why did you lie to Brother Thirteen?"

In fact, she didn't intend to tell the truth, but she always remembered that as an older sister, she couldn't let go of any opportunity to preach to her younger brother.

They definitely wouldn't have left here aboveboard, otherwise Dad wouldn't have sneaked a look at them last night.So I can't tell others that if it gets out, she and her brother may not be able to leave.

Yin Lian thought so in her heart, but continued to preach: "Children can't tell lies, do you know that?"

Yin Lin: "Oh."

Yin Lian sighed, and said: "Brother Thirteen is very good. If we suddenly disappeared, I don't know if he will be sad. But if we continue to stay here, I will be very sad."

In a blink of an eye, she put on a smiling face again, took Yin Lin's hand, and said, "Brother, let's go have breakfast."

On the way to have breakfast, and then on the way to school, she said to herself: "Well, I have to find something to do today, otherwise I will feel that time passes very slowly..."

The weather is cold right now, the queen's coffin is parked in the mourning hall, and it will be sent to the imperial mausoleum for burial after seven days.

Every day, the prince and princess will take turns to keep watch.

At night, the entire palace, which belongs to the queen's palace, is the most brilliantly lit.It's just that the lights are all white mourning lights.

The weather was dry and the wind was strong at night, so the people in the middle palace were extra careful to prevent the lamps and candles from going off.

In the huge mourning hall, layers of snow curtains were falling, rows of candle holders were dripping with wax oil, and the candle flames were never broken from morning to night.

It is hard for the prince and princess to keep vigil at night, so they can basically leave the servants around them to help guard, and they can go to the side hall to sleep for a while.

The servants around him were not so vigilant either. In the dead of night, when drowsiness struck, they burned paper money in the brazier chaotically.

Later, for some reason, the curtains in the mourning hall were lit up.

At first, the palace people outside didn't notice at all, because the servants who guarded the spirit in the mourning hall didn't make a sound.

When people outside found out, the curtains in the mourning hall had already burned into a ball, and the flames shot up high.

The palace is made of wood, and the empress mourning hall is full of extremely flammable gauze fabrics. The flames that jumped up the tall palace pillars could be extinguished, and soon spread to the beams.

The queen's coffin was engulfed in flames.

The palace people ran and shouted, fetching water to put out the fire.But I ran to the palace courtyard to see that the large water tank in the courtyard had cracked at some point, and more than half of the water stored in it had flowed away.

***
Yin Lian didn't play much with the thirteenth prince tonight, and went back to the room with Yin Lin after dinner, and stayed in the room after washing up.

Before every dinner, Yin Lian would follow the thirteenth prince for a few laps in the palace courtyard.The thirteenth prince will undoubtedly become the target of her chasing and shouting while holding the small wooden sword.

The thirteenth prince maintained his awareness of being an older brother, talking about being annoying, while cooperating with his actions.

Tonight, Yin Lian was out of pocket, and he suddenly felt a little lonely.

Then the thirteenth prince lingered at the door, asking aloud from time to time: "Sister Lian, are you not going to play tonight?"

Yin Lian said: "Don't play anymore, you can play by yourself."

The thirteenth prince let out an "oh" like a little bitch.

He walked away a few steps, then turned back and said, "Sister Ah Lian, are you happy today?"

"I'm very happy." Yin Lian replied smoothly.

The thirteenth prince said: "Then you also have a good dream tonight."

After speaking, he really walked away.

Yin Lian was playing on the couch, then ran down to take off his shoes, ran to the door, and opened the door with great effort.

When the thirteenth prince heard the sound of the door opening, he turned his head and saw her protruding little face, and his sense of loss was instantly swept away.

Yin Lian took his hand and said: "Brother Thirteen, thank you these days." She thought that she and her younger brother were leaving soon, and she couldn't let him know, so she was happy, but she still felt a little uncomfortable thinking about it. I'm willing to let him go.

The thirteenth prince was a little embarrassed, and said, "Thank you, who called me your brother."

Yin Lian said: "Let's play together later."

The thirteenth prince didn't hear anything unusual, nodded and said: "Okay."

This time he stopped wandering and went back to sleep with peace of mind.

Unknowingly, it was past the usual time to go to bed, and now both Yin Lian and Yin Lin were sleepless, and they waited attentively.

But as time passed bit by bit, the previous excitement faded away.

Yin Lian asked a little uneasy: "Brother, is there no one coming to pick us up tonight?"

Yin Lin said: "Father said he would come, so he will." He patted Yin Lian's head, "Go to sleep if you are sleepy, I will wake you up and call you later."

Yin Lian yawned, but shook her head and said, "Brother, go to sleep."

Later, some noisy movements sounded outside, and the two were listening with their ears pricked up.

The movement seemed a little far away, yet very close.

The middle palace was on fire, and the palace people were coming and going to fight for the fire.

Such a large palace burned, and the flames soared into the sky, almost illuminating the night above the entire palace.

The reason why it feels very close is because the palace of Concubine Xiao happens to be next to the middle palace.

At this time, Concubine Xiao's palace was also very tense, so they spared no effort when they were dispatched to fight the fire.The eaves of the imperial palace are closely connected, and it is very easy to burn in pieces at this time. If there is a slight wind, Concubine Xiao's palace will definitely be affected.

Although the door of the room was closed, the light from outside still made the door flickering.

According to Yin Lian's curiosity, she would definitely want to open the door and go out to have a look.It's just that after working hard for most of the night, she was so sleepy at such a young age, she fell asleep without knowing it while sitting, and her small body tilted and fell on the couch.

She fell into a deep sleep and didn't know what was going on outside.

How can there be no wind on a cold winter night in Beijing.

Then, it really got windy.

Yin Lin asked Yin Lian to sleep beside him, but he still sat quietly and waited.

With the sound of the window, Yin Lin raised his head vigilantly, and when he looked at the person coming, his small face couldn't help but froze.

He knew that it would not be his father who came, but he did not expect that it would be someone he and Yin Lian knew very well.

The fire outside was faintly brighter.

Yin Lin's voice was immature, but his expression was calm and he said: "Chongli."

That's right, it was Chongli who came.He was dressed in black, with a gentle appearance, exactly the same as when he was in the palace.
