"Someone, come quickly! Weiyang Palace is compromised! Someone, come quickly! Weiyang Palace is compromised!"
It was getting dark, the palace door of Weiyang Palace was wide open, and the servants ran out, shouting on the palace road.
The other maids and eunuchs who heard the news looked towards Weiyang Palace, and sure enough, there was thick smoke coming from one place in Weiyang Palace, and it looked like it was on fire.
"Quick! Go put out the fire!"
Tao Xiang was running at the front. Whenever she found a servant standing on the side, she would step forward with a look of anxiety on her face:
"The Weiyang Palace is on fire. Everyone, hurry up and put out the fire. If you can put out the fire, the empress will be greatly rewarded!"
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, not to mention that the fire is not serious at first glance.
The eunuchs and maids immediately rushed towards Weiyang Palace.
Even though there were enough people running towards Weiyang Palace, Taoxiang still put her hands in the shape of a trumpet to her mouth and shouted loudly that Weiyang Palace was on fire.
In the quiet snowy night, her voice spread far away, and almost all the palace maids and eunuchs on duty nearby came.
Weiyang Palace is so big and spacious, and soon it was filled with palace maids and eunuchs.
Aunt Sun and Aunt Li cooperated very well. They were both anxious, one was anxious to put out the fire, and the other could not find the exact location of the bucket in Weiyang Palace.
When the maids and eunuchs saw that the fire was not in the master's house, but in the servants' room, they were not as anxious as they were at first.
Everyone was eager to show off with the bucket and then go to receive the reward. A group of people were chattering very noisily.
At the same time, the news of the leakage of Weiyang Palace also spread to the ears of other concubines.
Those who hate Xie Ziyue are just gloating about her misfortune, hoping that something will happen to her this time. What seemed normal to her was that it ended after listening to it.
As for having a good time with Xie Ziyue, I was naturally anxious when I heard about it. For example, Concubine De, when the servants in the courtyard "finally" put out the fire, she actually came outside Weiyang Palace.
"Empress De Fei, it's so late, why are you here?" At that time, Tao Xiang was still standing in the courtyard. When she saw De Concubine walking in from the palace gate with her people, she hurriedly went up to greet her.
"I heard that there was a leak in my sister's palace, is there any serious problem?" Concubine De said as she looked, she saw that there seemed to be smoke billowing, and she immediately frowned.
"I'm sorry, Concubine De, I'm worried. The servant's room was on fire. It was a little palace lady who got cold at night. She didn't pay attention when the charcoal fire was cooking. She ran out when she found it was burning. Fortunately, the house was burned down and everyone was fine."
Tao Xiang explained and led people into the house. When Concubine De heard what she said, she felt relieved.
After entering, Jingqiu took off her hair. She hugged Mrs. Tang and walked to Xie Ziyue to sit down:
"Sister, I heard that there was a fire in your palace. I was really anxious. I couldn't sit still in the palace, so I just wanted to come over and have a look. It's great to see that you are okay!"
Xie Ziyue has been in the palace for so many years, and there are often people who hate her deeply, but there are not many people like Concubine De. They say that time changes people's hearts, and Concubine De is really a kind-hearted person.
Although this time it was a deception she asked Tao Xiang to use, she felt warmer when Concubine De did this, and said warmly:
"Why do you need to make a special trip? It's just a small matter. You still have Jung'er and Stepson in the palace. What if they come here in the middle of the night and find someone?"
"Isn't there a wet nurse?" Concubine De didn't care. The wet nurse took the two little ones with her on a special trip. Not to mention that she was gone for only a short time, even if she left for a day, it would be nothing.
After Xie Ziyue heard this, she immediately couldn't laugh or cry - yes, the second princess and the prince were no better than A Xuan. At that time, A Xuan was brought up by herself, but the two were brought up by the wet nurse.
I am used to taking care of my daughter, but I subconsciously think that everyone else is like this, which is really confusing.
The noise outside continued, and the palace maids and eunuchs did not leave. Concubine De and Xie Ziyue talked for a while. When the noise outside continued, she couldn't help but look bored:
"What's going on with these servants? With so many people, can't they put out a fire in a room? When did everyone in the palace become so useless?"
She didn't know Xie Ziyue's plan, but she just felt that these people were really useless.
"It doesn't matter." Although Xie Ziyue recognized Concubine De's character, there were some things that should have been left to rot in her stomach: "As long as it is extinguished thoroughly."
"Thanks to the weather, if it's a hot day and they're so lazy, I'm afraid they'll get into trouble even if nothing happens."
Concubine De said angrily.
"My servant pays homage to the Emperor." Xie Ziyue was about to say something when she heard Taoxiang's voice outside the door.
The two people in the room immediately cleared up their expressions to ensure that they looked normal when Han Xianzong walked through the door.
"My beloved concubine, are you okay?" Han Xianzong hurriedly opened the door and strode in. He didn't even notice the presence of Concubine De. He walked up to Xie Ziyue and looked at her intently.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her body, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard that Weiyang Palace was compromised, and I was afraid that something would happen to you and A-Xuan, so I hurriedly came over to take a look. Fortunately, there was no danger."
Xie Ziyue then explained what she just said again.
Han Xianzong frowned slightly: "Such a negligent slave will be sent to Xin Zheku someday to teach her a lesson."
Xie Ziyue agreed, she would handle this matter by herself anyway, so how would Your Majesty know what to do? It's better not to disobey His Majesty at this time.
Han Xianzong nodded with satisfaction, turned around and was about to sit down when he saw Concubine De.
Concubine De was generous and didn't feel embarrassed at all. She said a few words and then left.
That night, Han Xianzong naturally rested in Weiyang Palace.
The next day, when Gu Xuan came to see her mother for breakfast, she saw her father sitting at the table in the outer room reading a book.
She said "Huh" and took a closer look before confirming that she had read it correctly: "Father, why are you here?"
Obviously he wasn't here last night.
Han Xianzong liked to tease her very much and said deliberately: "What? Father, can't you come here?"
"You can come," Gu Xuan naturally saw that her father was teasing her, so she made a face at him and looked inside:
"Where is my queen mother?"
"It's inside." Han Xianzong pointed to the inner room.
Gu Xuan said "Oh", opened the bead curtain and ran in. Sure enough, she found Xie Ziyue sitting in front of the dressing table putting on makeup.
"Why did Ah Xuan get up so early today?" Xie Ziyue turned her head and reached out to her. Gu Xuan climbed onto her lap and sat on her lap. Then she lay on the stage and looked at her face carefully in the mirror.
After looking at it for a long time, she sighed: "It's so beautiful~"
Xie Ziyue couldn't laugh or cry: "Where did you learn this from?"
What a narcissist.
"Hmph," Gu Xuan suddenly got very close to her mother and asked her, "Queen mother, isn't A-Xuan good-looking?"
Seeing that the child's face resembled her own, Xie Ziyue couldn't say that it didn't look good.
