Chapter 134: The Flames
This fire burned overnight and day long, destroying the surrounding mountains and forests, and changing the color of the burning heaven and earth!
The fire is bright red, everyone's face is pale, after the chaos in Jin Street, it is the market fire, and the fire in the East Palace a few days ago, this is the third fire!
The people rushed out of the courtyard wall of their homes and rushed into the street, watching the fire raging, and in an instant their hands and feet were cold, forgetting all their movements.
"What's going on again?"
The old man's eyes widened in shock, and he was at a loss, "Ling Yin led an army of 30,000 just out of the city last night...... Didn't you meet the lady so soon!"
"But who has the courage to set such a big fire, and where is it burning?"
"Could this fire be set by Yin again?"
……
"Could it be that the lady is coming back?"
Lao Wan put on his coat and rushed into the street with a cane and exclaimed.
The fire in the distance seemed to herald the return of someone.
"Shopkeeper, the tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the palace have not found the princess, and the princess may still be alive. Xiao Si firmly believed, "This is the lady sending a message to us!"
"Hopefully, bless!"
In the firelight, there was only Bu Yin, his face was calm, his eyes were not shocked, standing in the temple, looking at the sky-high fire and smoke covering the sky of Yingdu, floating from the east, the fine fly ash gently fell on the monument in front of the temple, and fell a layer of shadow.
He slowly put away his file.
Blew the fly ash on it.
On this, he just engraved the name of an emperor: King Chu Mu, surnamed Mi, Xiong, a famous merchant, the eldest son of King Chu Cheng, who reigned for nineteen years.
……
Li Fuzhong.
"Father!"
Someone hurriedly ran in, Li Lao has been closed at home in the past few days, except for the court, and when he heard the words, he raised his head and said, "What happened, so panicked." ”
Old Elder Li's eldest son rushed in and shouted, "Oh, oh, fire!"
When Yin Ziban and the King of Chu went one after another, he was not as panicked as he is now, not to mention that Yue Jiao occupied the court, he had no scruples at all, and he also allowed bandits and subject countries to make trouble, but they still had a way to live!
After hearing this, Li Lao's brows furrowed suddenly, and his face sank.
If Ao Yuejiao took people away last night, the 30,000 troops went out of the city, which naturally caused a sensation in the whole city, and no one in the city sounded firecrackers to celebrate his departure, and no one would definitely cheer them off, but he still knew where Yuejiao was going through his news channels.
Eastern.
If Ao Yuejiao really burned the eastern suburbs?
Li Lao got up and scolded, "Wolf, what the hell does he want to do!"
"If it's messed up, the Ao clan won't say it!"
"Deliberately messing with me, Chu State will not be a country?"
The eldest son's anxious voice sounded, "Father, now that my Chu State needs my father to preside over the overall situation, if I let him go on like this, I don't know what kind of chaos will become?...... The king is not here, Ling Yin is not here, the princess, the concubine is not there, even the Cheng clan and the Pan clan are also fighting against the party, is there still room for us to speak in the future?......"
Outside the door, Wang Yin rushed in with a large number of courtiers without waiting for the housekeeper's communication, which startled him even more, and hurriedly came out to greet him, "Wang Yin, Zhao Hou...... Adults, come so quickly, my father is about to send me to talk to a few adults!"
Wang Yin's sleeve robe fluttered, and he didn't even have the kung fu to drink tea, so he said, "Old Li, now that Yue Jiao and Ruo Ao Zike are not in the capital, why don't we make an incident and take back the royal city!"
Zhao Hou was also dressed in armor, and seemed to be ready to get up while Yue Jiao was outside.
"But what's the use of us taking this city?"
"I don't know what caused this fire, if Tai Jurchen was arrested by him, do we also have to learn from Yue Jiao to support that son?"
"How can this be?"
……
At the same time, in the Chu Palace, Xiao Jiang rushed into the dormitory of the Purple Smoke Palace from outside the palace, and he also shouted repeatedly, "Miss, Miss, there is a fire in the east!"
Zhou Jinghua was patting Gongzi's breath in the house, and when she heard this, she raised her eyelashes lightly and glanced at the fire outside, and the palace people showed a panicked look on their faces, afraid that there would be another palace change, and looked at her anxiously.
She just whispered and smiled, and the red light in her eyes was reflected, like a cluster of demon fire twisting and galloping, "If it catches fire, it catches fire...... Maybe Yue Jiao has already killed Mi Huang and Cheng Jia for me!"
Xiao Jiang frowned when he heard this, "But, Miss......"
"Sister Xiao Jiang, there is nothing to do, Lord Yin is exterminating the rebels, and when Lord Yin calms all this, my Chu Kingdom will naturally be fine!"
Seeing that Zhou Jinghua didn't care, a palace maid stepped forward to squeeze out Xiao Jiang, and then held a bowl of warm milk, and at the same time scolded her, "Moreover, Sister Xiao Jiang, now Mrs. is the first lady of Chu State, her status is noble, and she was given the princess by the king to live in the first palace of Chu Palace, and now she should be called Madame, and then Miss, it is always a little weird, you should change your words!"
"Oh, Lil, you're talking. ”
"Xiao Jiang, we will live in the palace in the future, and it is really time to change our words. Zhou Jinghua smiled when she heard this.
Xiao Jiang glanced at these palace maids beside him at a loss, and let out a low "um".
"Mrs. Ben is going to bathe!"
"Yes, wait for the lady to bathe and change clothes!"
Let the fire outside be full of fire, Zhou Jinghua still walked into the back bath without changing color, the water vapor in the room was steaming, the clouds were shrouded, and in the haze, I saw her take off a gorgeous dress under the service of the palace maids, revealing the beautiful back hidden behind the hip-length hair, submerged into the warm spring water, the spring water was silky and rippling her jade-like skin, a few red marks were faintly hidden in the water, and the surrounding water mantle swayed with the wind.
It was as if she was in the Golden Palace.
Surrounded by slaves.
Outside the hall, there was a person walking sneakily in the Purple Smoke Palace, wrapping a silk scarf around all kinds of embarrassing traces on his body, and the palace maids standing quietly outside the hall saw her showing disgust and disdain, and there was no more awe in her eyes.
Only curtsy at will, "The slave has seen the third princess!"
Since the day the palace changed, the king of Chu collapsed, her jade feet were trampled on by others, every step she took, her toes were like stepping on the tip of a needle in pain, but not only no one healed, even all the princesses in the entire Chu palace were driven together, she lived and ate with several little princesses, and she suffered from the cynicism of them and those palace people every day.
Qi Zhao secretly gritted his silver teeth but had to endure it, dragging his injured foot into the dormitory.
In the hall, all the palace maids around immediately stepped forward to put on a bathrobe for Zhou Jinghua, carried an agarwood ball, helped her Yingying out, and walked up to Princess Wu's jade couch casually, supported her forehead with one hand, leaned on the couch, and glanced at her, "The third princess is here?"
"Sit down!"
When did Mi Zhao think about the former follower, the woman who had not even put it in her eyes, now she has changed one by one, and she needs to grovel, but her eyes fell on Gongzixi in the cradle on the side, her eyes flashed slightly, and she bent her knees, "Yes, Mi Zhao thanked Mrs. Hua for giving her a seat." ”
"Third princess, what's the matter?"
The corners of Zhou Jinghua's mouth were puffed with a touch of pride, how could she have thought that they used to be in the study, constantly complimenting the women in front of them, but now their identities are reversed.
"Madame, Mi Zhao saw the fire in the east, I don't know what happened, but Mi Huang and they have been encircled and suppressed by Ling Yin?" Mi Zhao inquired faintly.
"Anyway, Ling Yin goes, he won't let me down!" Zhou Jinghua said.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Mi Zhao couldn't get more news, so he could only respond, "It's just that Madame, the king is young and needs relatives to take care of him, Mi Zhao, as the eldest sister of Xi'er, is willing to do it for his wife." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Jinghua smiled and finally understood the meaning of Mi Zhao's intention.
However, this child is no longer important to them, she and Yue Jiao already have their own children, and they will ...... when the time comes. Zhou Jinghua stroked her flat lower abdomen and agreed, "It would be better if there was a princess to do it for you, Li'er, in the future, the third princess will take care of the king with you and the nurse!"
"Yes, thank you, ma'am!"
Qi Zhao was overjoyed, but ignored Zhou Jinghua's eyes flashed, and her smile became more and more meaningful.
Xiao Jiang has always stood in a corner of the hall and is not allowed to enter, and now the young lady no longer needs her...... There was no place for her anymore.
