Chapter 56 Cheng Ning! ! ! !

As the breath rose and fell, the whole place was silent.

They are all waiting for Wei Yanzhou's fate.

Xie Nianyao started crying at this time. She didn't know whether it was because she was afraid or just pretending to be operatic.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Yao'er is afraid -"

After being stupid all night, I finally got smart and knew how to use a bitter trick.

Before Wei Yanzhou could say anything, someone started to panic: "Fire, fire! It's on fire!"

They were on the terrace on the third floor. Looking over, there was an orange flame somewhere outside the palace, which was getting bigger and bigger.

"Your Majesty, this is the direction of the West Bridge!" Wang Xi's voice was trembling.

Neither Wei Yanzhou nor Cheng Ning could care about Xie Nianyao at the moment.

After waiting all night, something finally happened.

Fu Youting was even more unbelievable: "Why was there such a big fire!?"

After receiving Cheng Ning's letter, he arranged people in three places.

But he never expected a fire.

Wang Xi was the one who knew the inside story, and he kept looking at Wei Yanzhou.

It shouldn't be. Even if the fireworks and firecrackers are strange, His Majesty has arranged for people to be there in advance.

It shouldn't have burned so badly!

Cheng Ning obviously thought so too. She pulled Wei Yanzhou's sleeve and questioned him with her eyes.

Soon, urgent information came from downstairs.

"Your Majesty! Fireworks and firecrackers exploded on the West Bridge, causing flooding. The fire was so intense that it could not be contained at the moment!"

Wei Yanzhou's face was like a cold pool: "Where are the casualties? Where are the evacuation arrangements? Move the patrol battalion over!"

Li Lianbei, who was originally watching the Xie family's show, couldn't stand when he heard the fireworks exploded.

He knew what happened to folk fireworks.

The smuggled money just entered his coffers today!

The place was in chaos.

New Year's Eve, Xiziqiao.

Anyone who celebrates the Chinese New Year in Yanjing knows how many people there are there at this time of year.

"boom--"

There was a huge explosion, and looking from a distance, the fire on the West Bridge became even bigger.

Fu Youting couldn't stand still and couldn't care less about the farce just now.

He rushed outside and took people from the patrol battalion to the scene for rescue.

This year is destined to be uneasy.

Reports came one after another.

In the end, even Wei Yanzhou left the palace himself.

All civil and military officials could not sleep well tonight. They heard that the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were working together all night to investigate the source of these explosive fireworks.

At dawn, Cheng Ning was still standing on the towering wall of the palace gate.

The wind fluttered her cloak, and the hibiscus flowers on her hairpin had long since fallen, leaving her face cold.

I don't know how many times Chunhua came to persuade me: "My dear, please go back and rest for a while. You really can't endure it any longer."

Cheng Ning's body couldn't bear it at all.

But she remained motionless until the fire at West Bridge was completely extinguished and the entire city was placed under lockdown.

Wei Yanzhou sat on his horse and galloped back from outside the city. The sound of wind carried the words of the commander of the patrol battalion beside him from afar.

"Your Majesty, because we took precautions in the collapse and evacuation, there were not many casualties. However, the number of people who jumped into the Xizi River and drowned in panic was eighty-seven, and a total of one hundred and two bodies were counted."

Wei Yanzhou's face looked cold: "Give comfort to the family of the deceased. I want to personally interrogate the Li family!"

Then he turned over and dismounted, and saw Cheng Ning on the city wall.

He was wearing thin clothes and the wind had been blowing there for who knows how long.

Wei Yanzhou was furious: "Cheng Ning! Come down!"

When Cheng Ning turned around, Chunhua heard her voice hoarse after not speaking for a long time.

"Do you think I did something wrong? If I threatened my life back then, could Wei Yanzhou have used other methods to achieve his goal?"

She neither waited for Wei Yanzhou to deal with Xie Nianyao, nor did she wait for the good news about the smuggling case.

One hundred and two lives, alive.

She took the next step, and her foot slipped suddenly as she stepped on the step.

In front of Wei Yanzhou, Cheng Ning rolled down the long steps.

"Cheng Ning!!!"
