The fire burned bigger and bigger, and the crackling sound finally woke up a little eunuch on night duty at the outer door. The little eunuchs all stood up in a loud voice and took a look. They saw a flaming red flame not far away, like a demon in the night, as if It's like swallowing up the entire Fangyun Palace.
His eyes widened in shock. When he realized what had happened, he scrambled to the ground and ran away in panic, shouting: "It's on fire! It's on fire! Someone come and put out the fire..."
His loud scream soon woke up the other palace residents. When those palace residents saw the raging fire, their faces turned pale with fright. The timid ones stood frozen on the spot, not knowing what to do; the more courageous ones stood aside. Shouting to put out the fire, he looked for water sources to put out the fire.
However, no matter how noisy outside, Wen Congyun's bedroom was still quiet. Her night-watch maid was drugged by Fang Zheng and was knocked unconscious. She would not wake up in less than three hours, and Fang Zheng himself and Wen Congyun were drugged by Lu. When he was under smoke, he also fainted on the bed... He probably didn't expect that he would become that mantis when the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole followed, right?
Lu Shichu hid in a big tree outside Wen Congyun's bedroom, watching everything in front of him quietly.
Although Fang Yun Palace is located in a remote location, it is quiet at night. The noisy and panicked sounds of the palace people, as well as the knocking on the door when they go out to ask for help, still wake up other concubines living nearby. When the other concubines heard that the palace people came to report, it was Fang Yun Palace. There was a fire, and I immediately stopped feeling sleepy. I quickly got up and changed my clothes, planning to go to Fangyun Palace to watch the excitement, oh no, to put out the fire.
Many concubines quickly gathered outside Fangyun Palace. It is strange to say that the fire was obviously a serious accident. Everyone should be panicking and rushing to help in a hurry. However, the emperor's concubines were all dressed up. , with beautiful makeup, all of them are as beautiful as the flowers in the royal garden.
They all knew in their hearts that there was a fire in Fangyun Palace. How could the emperor not show up? Didn't they dress like this to win the emperor's favor? But they couldn't go too far, so they all had the same anxious and worried look on their faces, and ordered their palace people to put out the fire, while they were worried about Wen Congyun and the third prince, muttering about how to let them go. Buddha bless them, mother and son, to be fine... They are all beautiful women with kind hearts and soft hearts.
The emperor was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by the eunuch: "Your Majesty! There is a fire in Fangyun Palace, and now the fire is raging..."
When the emperor was woken up, he originally wanted to get angry, but as soon as he heard the words of the chief eunuch, his sleepiness was suddenly gone. He stared at the chief eunuch with an ugly face and said, "What did you say?!"
"Your Majesty, there is a fire in Fangyun Palace!" the eunuch replied anxiously.
"How come there was a sudden fire? What did Mr. Wen do?!" The emperor was furious. A fire in the palace was a very serious matter, and it was easy for the courtiers and the people of the world to use it as an excuse to think that the emperor had done something wrong to cause the fire to fall from the sky. As a warning to the emperor, what reputation does this emperor have? A hundred years later, he might still be considered a fool and be warned by God.
The current emperor is very self-aware and knows that he is just an emperor who barely maintains his status. He cannot be regarded as an emperor through the ages without merit. However, he does not want to be labeled as a foolish emperor and be infamy for thousands of years when he is in power, so he is very grateful for this fragrant emperor. The fire in the palace was very angry.
….
"Your Majesty, the fire is raging now. Everyone is rushing to put out the fire, but we haven't found out the cause of the fire yet..." the eunuch answered tremblingly.
The emperor was so angry that he kicked the foot of the bed, but it only hurt his own foot. He was even more aggrieved, but he had to quickly change his clothes and rush to Fangyun Palace.
"Your Majesty is here!" With the arrival of the imperial carriage, the concubines who had been acting for a while were like flies that had seen shit. They immediately walked towards the emperor and confided their worries about Wen Congyun and the third prince to the emperor. , and how they anxiously sent people to put out the fire, while not forgetting to show their most beautiful expressions to the emperor...
"Your Majesty! You are finally here! Wen Zhaorong has not been rescued yet..."
"Your Majesty, I am so worried about Wen Zhaorong..."
"Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on with the third prince now. I sent someone to rescue him, but... Wuwu..."
…
"Shut up!" The emperor was
The chattering sounds of the concubines made their heads grow louder, and they couldn't help but scold loudly, "What time is it now? Why are you causing trouble? Don't get in the way here!"
After scolding the concubines, the emperor called the leader of the night guard and asked him what was going on.
The leader of the guards was covered in cold sweat and answered the emperor's questions nervously. He only said that when he was leading an inspection, he heard the palace people shouting that there was a fire in Fangyun Palace, so he hurriedly came to put out the fire. The rest did not know what happened for the time being.
The emperor was so angry that he scolded him again for not discovering the fire in advance. He asked him to atone for his sins and rushed him to put out the fire.
Fortunately, there were enough people to put out the fire, including palace officials brought by concubines from various places, and patrolling guards, so even though the fire was very strong, with everyone's efforts, the fire was finally put out.
"Where is the third prince? Why haven't you rescued him yet?" The emperor looked at the dark ruins in front of him and asked the leader of the guards. The leader of the guards was covered in tatters due to fighting the fire, and his face was still dark. Hearing the emperor's question , and quickly said that he had gone to rescue him.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young guard who couldn't see his true face ran out holding the unconscious third prince.
"Go and call the imperial doctor!" the emperor shouted quickly. Seeing the third prince fainting in the guard's arms, with gray and black marks on his face, mouth and nose, he asked anxiously, "What's wrong with the third prince? Why is he fainted? Has he been injured?" Burning?"
"Your Majesty, the third prince was not burned, he just fainted from the smoke." The guard replied quickly.
"That's good, that's good..." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, there is Wen Zhaorong. Sister Wen hasn't been rescued yet..." It was the imperial concubine who spoke. She was very satisfied that the emperor didn't care about Wen Congyun at all, but she didn't mind seeing Wen Congyun in such a mess. If It would have been better if she had been disfigured by fire.
"Oh, yes, where is Wen Zhaorong?" The emperor was embarrassed. He had indeed forgotten that Wen Congyun hadn't been rescued yet, so he quickly made amends.
Indeed, someone from the palace had already gone in to look for Wen Congyun. As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a shocked scream came from inside: "Ah!"
The one who screamed was an eunuch, and his voice was very sharp. The emperor was startled and cursed angrily: "What is it called? Didn't I ask you to rescue Wen Zhaorong?"
"Wen, there is a man on Wen Zhaorong's bed!" The eunuch didn't know whether he was too panicked or too stunned, but he actually shouted out this shocking thing.
