Rebirth Nunnery

Chapter 147 Palace Change
The night gradually faded, and the sky began to glow white.When the sun rose and illuminated the entire sky, Ding Jiayi happened to return to the Qingque Palace.

The Qingque Palace was very quiet. In the dormitory where Ding Jiayi lived, Wu Mingxi and Qin Wanxia leaned on the soft couch and sank.

Even though they were asleep, the expressions of the two were still worried.

Ding Jiayi quietly walked in front of the two of them and called softly: "Wanxia, ​​Mingxi..."

Before the voice fell to the ground, Qin Wanxia woke up suddenly, only a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and then it turned into panic.

They stayed here because they were afraid that others would know that Ding Jiayi was not in the room.

But when she saw the person in front of her clearly, the fear on Qin Wanxia's face suddenly turned into surprise.

"master!"

With a low shout, Wu Mingxi who was on the side also woke up.

When the two saw Ding Jiayi, their emotions were indescribable. They looked at her carefully and saw that she was not injured. At the same time, they let out a long sigh.

"It's good that the master is fine. You suddenly disappeared yesterday, which frightened us."

Ding Jiayi saw the blue shadows in the eyes of the two, and his expression was quite haggard. He knew that they must have not slept all night, and they had been terrified all night.

Especially Wu Mingxi, when Ding Jiayi was taken away, she was by her side, but she didn't do anything, and she kept feeling guilty and blaming herself.

"Okay, am I okay? Don't cry, people will think something happened to me when they see it!" Ding Jiayi said a few words of relief, and Wu Mingxi wiped away her tears embarrassingly, and hummed lightly.

"How was the situation in the palace last night?"

The three said a few words, Ding Jiayi took off his old clothes and asked.

Qin Wanxia frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Yesterday, after you disappeared, master, there was a sudden fire in the harem, causing the entire palace to be in a hurry, and it was only at dawn that it settled down."

"Big fire? Where did it start?"

Ding Jiayi couldn't help asking.

Qin Wanxia didn't answer immediately, but raised her head and glanced at Ding Jiayi quietly, seeing her looking at her, she could only say softly: "It's Leng Gong..."

These two words came to my ears, and Ding Jiayi immediately gave a pause.

Lenggong has a very broad meaning. There are no less than dozens of palaces in this imperial palace, and less than half of them are inhabited. The rest can actually be regarded as Lenggong.

However, the cold palace in the real sense is a large building complex to the north of the palace.

Therefore, Ding Jiayi was very puzzled. As far as she knew, there was no one living in the cold palace. How did the fire start?
"Has the cause of the fire been found? Is it man-made or God's will?"

"I haven't found out the details, but I heard from Director Liu that it doesn't seem to be a natural disaster. Master, you also know that although the cold palace is uninhabited, there are palace people going to check and clean it every day. It is impossible for such a mistake to happen. And even if there is a fire, it won't burn the entire Lenggong group..."

Before Qin Wanxia could finish her sentence, Ding Jiayi's expression changed drastically.

"Wait a minute! You said that the entire Lenggong group is on fire? What about the one near Donghua Gate?"

"It's the worst over there."

Qin Wanxia's words immediately poured Ding Jiayi's whole body like a basin of cold water.

She froze in place, and couldn't believe Qin Wanxia's words.

Entering the imperial palace from Donghuamen, it happens to be where Yunyuefang is located.

Qin Wanxia thought that Ding Jiayi was worried about the people in Yunyue Workshop, so she hurriedly comforted: "Master, the workshop owners and the others are all fine, yesterday's dinner, the workshop owners and the others were not in the workshop, only a few people suffered minor injuries."

But Ding Jiayi's complexion didn't improve, her pretty face was as pale as paper.

What she thought of was not Yunyuefang, but the cold palace closest to Yunyuefang!

Few people know that there are people living there!
Snow drunk!

"No! I'm going to have a look!"

Ding Jiayi quickly tore off the clothes on her body, picked up a clean dress from Wu Mingxi, put it on her body, and walked out.

Qin Wanxia and Wu Mingxi looked at each other, glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.

"Master, wait a minute, your clothes..."

While speaking, Ding Jiayi had already rushed out of the room.

But when she just walked out the door, she saw an unexpected figure.

Xiao Ding stood in front of the palace gate, bowed to the side, carefully watching the people beside him.

Ling Xiao, the owner of Yunyue Workshop, was standing in front of Ding Jiayi with a court lady.

Seeing Ding Jiayi rushing out of the room disheveled, with a look of shock and worry on his face, a trace of surprise flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, then he stepped forward and said.

"What are you going to do? Take good care of yourself when you're injured, run out like this, aren't you afraid of bumping into others?"

There was reproach in Ling Xiao's words, but his eyes were very gentle. He walked up to Ding Jiayi and tightened his half-lost coat.

"Master, I..." Ding Jiayi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but saw Ling Xiao's unquestionable eyes.

"Let's go in and talk about it. With your face, what if you catch a cold from the wind again?"

Ling Xiao said softly, then pulled Ding Jiayi into the house.

Xiao Ding and the court lady she brought spontaneously ran to the steps outside the hall and stood there.

As soon as they entered the room, Qin Wanxia and Wu Mingxi hurried forward to help Ding Jiayi put on her dress.

"Master Fang, why are you here?"

Ling Xiao glanced at Qin Wanxia who was talking to her, his heart moved, and said: "You two go out first, and boil some tranquilizing medicine for your master."

Qin Wanxia understood immediately, knowing that Ling Xiao had something to say to Ding Jiayi, after a short salute, she pulled Wu Mingxi back out.

Soon there were only Ling Xiao and Ding Jiayi left in the room.

Ding Jiayi hadn't recovered yet, and looked at Ling Xiao with a dazed look in his eyes.

Ling Xiao sighed, stretched out his hand, clenched Ding Jiayi's cold hands, and said in a low voice.

"I know what you want to ask, and I know what you're worried about. I'm here because of what you think in your heart. But you must promise me that you must not be impulsive and be mentally prepared."

These words made Ding Jiayi's heart skip a beat.

Looking up at Ling Xiao, Ding Jiayi didn't ask her how she knew, but just looked at her expectantly.

"In the cold palace, there is nothing left now, everywhere is scorched black, whether it is the main hall or the courtyard, they have all been burned to nothing."

Ling Xiao's words made Ding Jiayi fall into an ice cellar.

"That, that..."

"You want to ask that person, don't you?" Ling Xiao's voice sounded again.

"We didn't find her, and we didn't find her body, so we don't know whether she is alive or dead."

Ling Xiao's words seemed to float over from an extremely distant place.

Every word fell into Ding Jiayi's ears, but she couldn't understand it. At this time, Ding Jiayi's mind went blank.

"How...how could..."

Ding Jiayi murmured to himself in a low voice, repeating this sentence all the time.

Seeing her like this, Ling Xiao felt even more pity in her heart. Although she didn't know what the relationship between Ding Jiayi and that person was, but seeing Ding Jiayi's reaction like this at this time, she knew without guessing that the relationship between the two was not shallow.

When Wenyan took Ding Jiayi to see Xuezui in Lenggong, Ling Xiao knew it all along.

At that time, Ding Jiayi was in Yunyuefang, and it was impossible to hide anything about Yunyuefang from Ling Xiao.

However, neither Ling Xiao nor Wen Yan expected that Ding Jiayi and Xue Zui would become friends as well as teachers.

In Ding Jiayi's heart, Xue Zui is a very special existence.

Seeing Xuezui, Ding Jiayi couldn't help but admire him. In her opinion, such a person is like a fairy and shouldn't appear in this world.

Since then, Xue Zui has been teaching her various talents and many principles of survival.Although you later lived in Qingque Palace because of Ding Jiayi, you couldn't visit Xuezui often, and the number of times the two met was much less, but Ding Jiayi still asked Xiaoding to send some things there every other day.

However, Ding Jiayi never expected that such a thing would happen after she left the palace for one night.

"Snow drunk..."

Ding Jiayi whispered softly, her eyes turned red instantly.

"In the end, what's going on? I don't believe it was an accident. Someone must have set it on fire. Who is it?"

Ding Jiayi was neither hysterical nor angry, her expression was very calm, and her tone was filled with endless chill.

Ding Jiayi like this made Ling Xiao very strange, but he couldn't help feeling a little relieved in his heart.

You should feel at ease to accept such a good apprentice in the last days, right?

Turning his thoughts around, Ling Xiao looked indifferent, as if this matter had nothing to do with her at all.

"This matter has not been investigated yet, but one thing is certain. This was done deliberately by someone. The purpose may be Xuezui, or it may be something else."

After a pause, Ling Xiao took something out of his sleeve and put it on the table.

"This is what someone put in my room when I returned to Yunyuefang last night. I think it should be left for you."

Ding Jiayi looked down and saw a string of beads lying quietly on the table.

She had seen this beaded chain before, before she went to Jin'an Palace for the first time, Xue Zui gave it to her for her self-defense.

A trace of doubt flashed in Ding Jiayi's eyes.

"Xuezui said that this is a gift from her best friend."

Ling Xiao was surprised and said: "Really? Since she left this thing to you, you can keep it well! Maybe it will be of great use in the future."

There was a certain meaning in Ling Xiao's words, but at the moment Ding Jiayi was so focused on the bead chain that he didn't hear it.

"Yesterday's fire started strangely. According to the father-in-law who was in charge of putting out the fire, it seemed that the fire started in several places at the same time, so it burned so quickly that people were caught off guard." Ling Xiao's voice returned to calm, and said, " Now is not the time for you to deal with this matter, so just keep it in your heart and never reveal it. If the other queen, concubine Wan, or others find out, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Ling Xiao's extremely serious tone made Ding Jiayi's heart shudder.

She subconsciously understood that no one in the palace wanted Xue Zui to live, even if Xue Zui was really not dead, they would take this opportunity to implement it.
