Chapter 110: Fire at Fengyi Palace
"Ah..." Empress Changsun screamed in fear and ran out. When she reached the door, her Zou Lang did not follow her out.
Turning around, I saw Zou Lang squatting there with his hands covering his chest, a look of pain on his face. The flames were almost burning his body.
"Puff..." A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of the man's mouth.
"Zou Lang, hurry up!" Empress Changsun hurried back and pulled him out.
But the fire in the darkroom was so fierce that they were burned as soon as they reached the door.
Both of them were panicked and ran out while patting the fire on their bodies.
It was just very strange. No matter how hard I slapped myself, the fire on my body wouldn't go out. My hair was also on fire, burning my skin and making it hurt.
As soon as he came out of the dark room, the man fell to his knees, spitting out blood from his mouth, knowing that he was suffering a backlash.
"What a treacherous Xie Jinglan..."
"Zou Lang..." Empress Changsun was panicked. If Fengyi Palace caught fire, the Imperial Guards would come to put out the fire soon, and then they would discover her secret room, and her affair with Zou Lang might not be hidden anymore.
Thinking of this, she wanted the man to leave here first and not let the Royal Guards find him.
"Zou Lang, please leave here."
But the man was in so much pain that he curled up on the ground and couldn't stand up.
"I'm afraid I can't leave..."
"Ah... someone come quickly..." Empress Changsun was in so much pain from the fire that she no longer cared about her husband Zou Lang. She covered her face with her hands and ran out to find someone to put out the fire.
"Boom..." The flames in the dark room surged out and instantly burned the gauze in the bedroom.
Empress Changsun was so frightened that she looked back and saw Zou Lang lying on the ground had been engulfed by the raging flames. She was so scared that her face turned pale.
"Someone is coming..."
The palace servants guarding outside the bedroom door heard the noise and hurriedly opened the door. They were shocked to see a fire man suddenly rushing out.
"The Queen..."
"Go get some water." Empress Changsun's trusted maid quickly asked someone to get some water, while she and two eunuchs patted the fire off her body.
A palace maid saw the fire in the bedroom burning fiercely and ran out in panic to call for help.
"There's a fire in Fengyi Palace! Help! Put out the fire..."
Soon, the sound of a fire in Fengyi Palace spread throughout the entire palace.
By the time the palace maid brought the water, Empress Changsun's nightgown and hair had been burned. She was naked and her whole body was burned black. The burning pain made her wail in agony.
“Ah…it hurts so much…”
"Water it quickly." The trusted palace maid thought that watering might relieve her pain.
Upon hearing this, the palace maid poured the water in the basin down.
However, when the cold water was poured on her, Empress Changsun shivered with cold.
"Ah...damn bitch...you want to freeze me to death..." Empress Changsun felt pain and cold all over her body and kept howling.
The trusted palace maid didn't know what to do, so she took off her cloak and wrapped her up.
Seeing that several people around him were standing still, he could not help but angrily said: "What are you all standing for? Go and call the imperial physician."
"Yes!" A eunuch ran out.
"boom!"
There was an explosion in the bedroom and thick smoke billowed out. The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they quickly sent Empress Changsun outside.
In the bedroom of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Kunming, the mother and son were so sad that they had not yet fallen asleep because the prince was missing.
The Queen Mother was especially heartbroken. She kept crying and couldn't believe that her beloved grandson was gone.
He knew that Beitang Yuan would not go to the Royal Hunting Forest for no reason. Someone must have set him up and killed him there, pretending that he was eaten by a monster.
Could it be that her grandson, who had suffered so much, was finally killed by those jackals?
At this time, Madam Lu came in to report, "Your Majesty, there's a fire in Fengyi Palace!"
The Queen Mother was startled after hearing this, and after a moment's pause she said, "It truly is retribution! And it's immediate retribution..."
That night, a fire broke out in Fengyi Palace, causing chaos throughout the palace.
Emperor Kunming was already in a bad mood, and when he heard that there was a fire in Fengyi Palace, he was so angry that he overturned the table, ordered people to investigate the matter, and executed all the people in Fengyi Palace.
And at this time on Linggun Mountain.
Because Beitang Yuan's curse was broken, everyone's mood improved.
"Yuan'er, it's already late, you should rest first! Since you are here, stay a few more days." Zhongli Xiao said.
Xie Jinglan and Beitang Yuan looked at each other.
"Master, we came here suddenly. We have to go back tonight to report our safety so that people over there won't worry." Xie Jinglan felt very guilty. She had taken Zhong Lixiao as her master, but had never visited him once.
"Master, the Chinese New Year is only one month away. After the New Year, I will definitely bring Lan'er back to see you." Beitang Yuan also said.
"Then you guys go!" Zhong Lixiao walked away with his hands behind his back.
The Great Elder looked at them, shook his head and left.
"Senior brother, junior sister, let us see you off." The fellow brothers came over.
"Thank you, senior brothers." Xie Jinglan smiled at them.
"Lan'er, wait for me for a moment." Beitang Yuan turned around and walked back into the house, wanting to change his clothes.
"Junior Sister, can you let us see your magical weapon?"
"Yes, we want to see your aircraft and see if we can build one too."
"Hahaha..." Xie Jinglan was amused by them. Knowing that they were curious about the plane, she took them away first, "Let's go! I'll show you around."
******
When Xie Jinglan and Beitang Yuan returned to Shengjing, it was already dawn.
At this time, the city gate had been opened and a long queue of people lined up to enter the city.
The two men rode their horses straight to the city gate. The soldiers guarding the gate immediately saw them and were shocked, thinking they had seen a ghost.
After all, it is the time when day and night change, and it is most likely to see ghosts.
The prince disappeared in the royal hunting forest yesterday, and the news has spread throughout Shengjing.
The emperor ordered a search, and tens of thousands of soldiers searched for a whole day and night but couldn't find the person. Thousands of more people were sent just now.
The soldiers were surprised to find that the person they were looking for suddenly appeared here.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Miss Xie, are you back?" A guard knelt down first.
No matter whether it is a human or a ghost, it is always right for him to kneel first.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The guards behind also knelt down.
When they heard that it was the prince, ordinary people entering and leaving the city also knelt down.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! May you live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"
"No need to be polite!" Beitang Yuan said lightly, and rode into the city with Xie Jinglan.
The commander looked at the backs of the two men and rubbed his eyes. The dawn light shone on them, but they did not disappear like ghosts.
Their prince really came back alive.
After entering the city, Beitang Yuan and Xie Jinglan separated, one returned to the palace and the other returned to Duke Li's mansion.
Emperor Kunming did not sleep all night and looked much older.
As soon as he arrived at the court, several ministers immediately submitted a memorial, wanting to appoint another crown prince.
Emperor Kunming was still grieving, and upon hearing this, he flew into a rage, "Come! Drag them all out and chop them off!"
