The minister holding the emperor's arm was frightened by his eyes and let go of his hand in fright, and the bright yellow rushed into the blazing fire without any hesitation.
The guards responsible for protecting the emperor rushed when they saw the emperor. They also grabbed the buckets from the eunuchs' hands, some poured it on themselves and rushed in, and some quickly went to put out the fire.
Others went in with buckets of water. When they found the emperor, without saying a word, they poured a bucket of water all over him.
It was precisely because of this that the emperor felt that his whole body cooled down quickly, and the burning pain in his body was not that strong.
"Yue...cough cough cough cough cough..."
As soon as Emperor Xuanwu opened his mouth, he was choked by the billowing smoke and coughed. He tried to open his eyes to discern the direction: "Yue'er... cough cough cough... Yue'er, where are you?"
"Your Majesty! It's the Queen!"
Who is the one pressing under the beam if not the queen?
The emperor looked around: "Rescue the queen first."
"Your Majesty... cough cough cough... it's too dangerous here, please get out! The subordinates and others will be looking for the Concubine Xian inside."
"I said... let you rescue the queen first!"
He shook off the guard and looked around despite the pain in his body.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
"Bang!"
A piece of burned wood broke above Emperor Xuanwu and crashed down. Fortunately, the guard reacted quickly and knocked Emperor Xuanwu away, but the guard was hit with a bloody head.
"Well……"
The loud sound woke up Jiang Xinyue who had fainted by the window. As soon as she made a little sound, she felt someone grabbing her shoulder.
There was a shouting sound coming from far and near my ears: "Yue'er... Yue'er, wake up... Yue'er..."
Emperor Xuanwu was pushed and rolled to the window by his guards, only to find Jiang Xinyue unconscious on the ground. Her whole body was frighteningly hot, her consciousness was blurred, and her breathing was even more difficult.
"Emperor...the Queen...save...save the Queen..."
The emperor took off his soaked dragon robe, wrapped her up, and held her in his arms. His face was covered in black ash and he didn't care, so he picked her up and ran outside.
Some of the guards were carrying the queen, and more were guarding the emperor in case any beams fell down and hit the emperor.
Empress Dowager Wu had already heard the news and rushed over. The person following her was not Concubine Rong but Pei Wu.
"Where is the emperor? Where is the emperor?"
There was a look of anxiety on her face: "You losers, how can you let the emperor go in to save people? If there is something wrong with the emperor, the Ai family will let you all be buried with him!"
"boom--"
With a loud noise, the door of Yikun Palace was scorched and collapsed. Amidst the thick smoke and fire, the tall and mighty emperor was only wearing a white middle coat, with black soot everywhere on his body, and even his face could not be seen. He was spared, but his black smoke-stained cheeks were left with scratches and blood oozing from them.
He held the unconscious Concubine Zhenxian in his arms, like a fearless warrior, rescuing his beloved girl.
Jiang Xinyue was conscious. She was half-closed and half-opened. In her hazy eyes, she could still see Emperor Xuanwu's solemn face, his lips tightly pressed into a line, and his eyes firm as he held her as he rushed out.
"Is she... wearing the emperor's dragon robe?"
"Oh my god! She is covered with the emperor's dragon robe, and the emperor actually...does the emperor want to make the Concubine Xian the queen?"
"This is impossible! Concubine De is still here! In terms of qualifications and family background, Concubine De is better than Concubine Xian in every aspect."
"But isn't Concubine De's third prince useless? Concubine Zhenxian has two sons, the fourth prince and the sixth prince, and the emperor loves her so much, she can have several more! As a queen, if she is like the current queen Just like the empress, she can no longer have children, so she will be crippled sooner or later, right?"
What is the use of adopting a fifth prince who is not his biological son?
Concubine De was in the front row, watching helplessly as the emperor placed Jiang Xinyue, who was covered in a dragon robe, on the ground. Magpie and Shuangjiang immediately rushed over and fanned her with their hands.
The guards carried the queen on a stretcher, half of her face had been burned. The imperial doctor who had been waiting had already come forward to diagnose and treat the queen.
"Get her!"
A shrill cry pierced the sky. As soon as Emperor Xuanwu washed Jiang Xinyue's face with water, he saw Concubine Rong stumbling out from behind the burning house with a look of horror on her face.
Fen Xu ran out with blood on his face: "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Rong who set fire to Yikun Palace."
What?
When Concubine Rong heard this, she stopped abruptly. Because it was too sudden, a flaming bag fell out of her sleeve.
"Ding Ling..."
A blood-stained silver hairpin fell from her hand, and they all knelt at the emperor's feet, accusing with their bloody faces that were deeply scratched by the hairpin: "Your Majesty, in the palace of Yikun Palace There are not enough people, and all kinds of monsters and monsters will come to bully our master. Today, the master feels a little more comfortable, so he wants to talk to Concubine Zhenxian. The slaves and magpies are guarding outside. The fire is burning from the back hall. He got up, so when the slaves found out, the fire had already reached the master's palace. The slave asked Shuangjiang and Magpie to find a way to break down the door, while the slave went back to check the situation. Who knows...who knows..."
She pointed at Concubine Rong with her trembling hands in fear: "Unexpectedly, I saw Concubine Rong holding a fire certificate in her hand and smiling sinisterly at the fire. I felt that the fire was closely related to Concubine Rong, so I wanted to pull her away. She came out to ask for clarification, but she pierced the slave's cheek with a hairpin. The slave let go of her hand in pain, and Concubine Rong was able to run away. The sky net was vast and sparse, and she was caught by the Emperor. "
The strong-willed queen woke up from pain while the doctors simply cleaned her wounds.
She struggled to crawl over, but was held down by everyone: "Queen, please don't move. You still have a large area of burns on your body. You must go back to the Tai Hospital for disinfection before the burned and rotten flesh can be removed. Otherwise, it will be very difficult." It’s easy to get infected and it’s life-threatening.”
The queen has long since given up on living, and today she is risking her life to find a way out for the fifth prince.
"emperor!"
Her throat had been damaged by the thick smoke, and the words she spoke were rough and unpleasant, but she was crying every word: "The person who put cotton wool in the clothes of the sixth prince's wet nurse was Concubine Rong... She wanted to kill Concubine Xian today. , and then put the blame on the concubine. It’s a pity that she failed! Please, the emperor, seek justice for the virtuous concubine and the concubine!”
Jiang Xinyue sat on the stool sent by Wang Dequan, as if she had not yet come to her senses. She lowered her head and let Magpie and Shuangjiang wipe her hands and neck, and combed away a section of her singed hair. .
The two little girls were so distressed that they burst into tears.
Who would have thought that the queen would use her own life to frame Concubine Rong?
Half of the queen's burned face was covered with blood blisters. After saying those words, she fainted on the stretcher from the pain.
