Chapter 41: A Hundred Gardens Walk the Water
In the middle of the night, the palace is silent, and all the palaces have long gone to bed with their lights out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the deep night, two black figures flashed, quickly skimming the palaces, and hurriedly flew towards the depths of the palace.
Without stopping at all, the two of them masked their faces, only their eyes were exposed, they looked at each other, nodded, and flew off into the distance again.
Suddenly, I saw the target and landed straight in the Hundred Gardens.
After landing, the two first looked around and found a hidden place, one retreated to watch the wind, and the other took out a cloth bag from his arms and began to fiddle with something.
After touching for a moment, the black shadow finally fiddled with things, got up and patted the shoulder of the person who looked at the wind, and with a light, he quickly flew towards the periphery of the palace.
Immediately, the fragrance of the hundred gardens returned to silence, as if no one had ever come.
The wind blew, the fragrance of flowers and plants rose, and faintly, a few moths fluttered their wings and flew by.
Half an hour later, a scream woke up most of the palaces, and in an instant, lights were lit up in many places: "The water is gone!! ”
It was a little eunuch who found the fire at night, the garden was full of strange flowers and plants, extremely precious, in order to prevent the flowers and plants from being damaged, every time the night patrol, the little eunuch had to look at it from a distance outside the garden, and could not enter.
Today's inspection as usual, just a glance from a distance, did not find anything wrong, only felt that the fragrance of the flowers seemed to be several times stronger than usual, did not have doubts, but also just glanced at the other place to patrol the night, did not think, the second time through the hundred gardens, then saw the sky-high fire, frightened that he sat on the ground all of a sudden, back to a long time before screaming out of the water.
An exclamation caused the guards around the Hundred Gardens to run over: "Quick, go scoop up the water!! In an instant, many of the guards rushed to the nearest palace lake, scooping water back and forth with their helmets.
The gardens were full of flammable flowers and plants, and soon, the fire reached the point of being uncontrollable, and the leading guard in charge of the patrol had red eyes and scooped water back and forth almost frantically: "Water me!! If this fire is not extinguished, none of you will want to live!! ”
The anger in the words was already overflowing, the preciousness of these hundred gardens was not worth the lives of these people at all, and seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, the fear in the bottom of my heart became more and more.
Sanshui Palace, listening to the noise in the remote, Shui Muqing was no longer sleepy, put on a coat, found a place with a good sight, and looked at the place where the fire was soaring in the distance: "The place where the water is walked, is the Hundred Gardens?" ”
Yi Ruo stood beside Shui Muqing, his face was calm: "If you go back to Niangniang, it is Baihuayuan." ”
With a chuckle, Shui Muqing tightened the coat on his body, and smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid, the emperor will not let go of this arsonist." ”
Yi Ruo didn't respond, but also looked into the distance, his eyes were deep.
In the hundred gardens, a large number of guards have come, and many people have also gone to the Huanyi Courtyard to get wooden basins, the fire is gradually under control, and the fragrance in the air is so strong that it can't be dissolved, faintly with some burning smell, which makes people feel sick for a while.
When Mu Tiande received the news, he had already slept in the palace of a Jieyu, and listened to the anxious voice of Gonggong Hai outside the door, and his heart was full of anger: "What's the matter!" ”
Knowing that the emperor was extremely unhappy at the moment, he still had to tell the situation: "Your Majesty...... The hundred gardens have gone to the water. ”
Sitting up suddenly, Mu Tiande only felt that the blood rushed to his head, the hundred gardens were his hard work in the past ten years, only because Mu Dai once said that he wanted to see the hundred flowers in the world, he specially built a hundred gardens, although he did not have any results with Mu Dai, but he had long developed the habit of collecting strange flowers and plants in the world, and now he actually told him that the hundred gardens were burned? !
lifted Jieyu's quilt, which was still asleep, and said angrily: "Don't hurry up yet!" Change my clothes! ”
Frightened, Jieyu trembled for a while, and carefully changed his clothes, for fear that this anger would affect her.
It burned for more than half an hour before the fire was completely extinguished, and seeing the hundred gardens that were almost burned out, the foreman's guards had bloodshot eyes, and they knew in their hearts that they were afraid that they would not survive.
When Mu Tiande arrived, before he got close, the rich strange fragrance floated over, the anger in his eyes was already ignited, and he quickened his pace and approached, only to see a large number of guards already kneeling on the ground, bowing their heads, silent, and then looking at the garden, it was a mess, all the flowers and plants were burned, and even the rockery stones were burned to charcoal black, and there was no more beautiful appearance in the past.
The fists were clenched fiercely, and Mu Tiande's anger had already rushed to the top of his head: "Everyone on duty today will be dragged down and killed!" ”
Behind him, Gonggong Hai was suddenly shocked, at a glance, I am afraid that there are hundreds of people on duty tonight, if they are all cut, looking at the kneeling people, Gonggong Hai is also a burst of pity in his heart, trembling and opening his mouth: "Your Majesty, they have tried their best to put out the fire, if they are all ......"
"If you say one more thing, you will be counted." A cold voice abruptly interrupted his words.
Gonggong Hai was suddenly silent, and could only look at the kneeling guards with pity eyes.
Behind him, Mu Tiande's close guards had already stepped forward and dragged the kneeling guards away one by one.
Mu Tiande put his hands behind his back, his eyes were ruthless, watching his ten years of hard work ruined, his fingers pressed and pinched, if you are caught by me, you will be broken into pieces!
After taking one last look at the blackened Hundred Gardens, Mu Tiande suddenly shook his sleeves and turned around, and ordered in a cold voice: "Fence this place, no one is allowed to approach." ”
Gonggong Hai nodded again and again, waved his hand behind him, and signaled the guards to hurry up.
Mu Tiande looked angry and walked straight to Bermuda Palace: "Xuanhe Xiao entered the palace." ”
Hearing this, Gonggong Hai was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, it's ...... now"
"Now!" The cold words make people's hearts tremble.
At the same moment, two black-clothed people, standing on the roof of a high-rise building outside the palace, saw that there were already fires in the hundred gardens, looked at each other and smiled, one turned around, and disappeared into the dark night.
In just a quarter of an hour, the news of the fire in the palace reached Du Weiwei's courtyard.
The night was silent, but Du Weiwei didn't sleep, his right eyelid was always beating hard recently, and he had no intention of falling asleep, so he sent Zikou to find the information of the dark pavilion to see, the bedroom was brightly lit, looking at the information of the princes in his hands, Du Weiwei finally began to have a clue.
Before he could think deeply, Shen Mu ran into the house: "Miss! ”
Frowning and glancing at the door, Shen Mu understood, turned around and looked outside carefully, before walking to the young lady and reporting the situation: "There is news from the palace that Baihuayuan is gone." ”
Suddenly put down the information in his hand, Du Weiwei's mind quickly turned, Baihuayuan is Mu Tiande's favorite place, it took a lot of effort and energy, and now it is burned down by a fire, it must be to find out who is the perpetrator, in the end, whose means will it be?
After thinking for a while, Du Weiwei seemed to suddenly think of something, hurriedly grinded it, picked up the letter paper, and wrote.
After a while, he wrote a piece of paper, folded it into an envelope, and handed it to Shen Mu: "Send it to the third prince immediately." At the end, he added: "In the land of the palace, be careful in everything." ”
Nodding calmly, without hesitation, Shen Mu retreated.
Seeing Shen Mu's figure disappear into the night, Du Weiwei had a lot of thoughts in his heart, since someone had done this, it was better to add fuel to the fire, and save himself from making more moves, paused, but he thought of his mother again, and sighed, Mother, I'm afraid I can't stand you, Dark Pavilion, after all, it is involved in politics.
When He Xiao rushed to the palace, he happened to see the guards on duty pressing the guards to the outskirts of the palace, glanced at a person's face, his heart darkened, and he drove the horse with another whip and rushed straight to Mu Tiande's Bermuda Palace.
In order to let He Xiao rush to the palace as soon as possible, Mu Tiande allowed him to ride into the palace on horseback.
"Chen He Xiao see the emperor." made a gesture, He Xiao was not in a hurry, Mu Tiande stepped forward and helped He Xiao up.
didn't say much, Mu Tiande's eyes were cold: "I have asked people to seal the hundred gardens, you go and see, can you find any clues, find out who did it." ”
He knew in his heart what Mu Tiande meant by looking for him, but He Xiao was silent on his face, as early as the moment when Baihuayuan walked away, Xuan immediately rushed back to Lizun Wangfu to report the situation, but in his heart, he was also calculating, who did this and ruined Baihuayuan, which was an extremely clever means.
With both hands clenched into fists, He Xiao lowered his eyes: "The minister takes the order." ”
When he stepped into the Hundred Gardens, He Xiao was really a little shocked, the garden had been burned down, and it was almost impossible to see the original appearance, and the smell of burning and fragrance in the air were mixed, which made people have a headache.
stretched out his hand to the sky behind him, Tian quickly understood, took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to the prince, He Xiao took it, covered his mouth and nose, and then continued to walk inside.
The previously beautiful and neat stone pavement was already charred black, with some burnt flowers and grass residues, and it creaked when stepped on, without any traces, or even footprints.
He Xiao sneered in his heart, what a clever method, the things in this garden have long been burned down, where can I find traces.
Tian followed behind He Xiao, his eyes were sharp, and he was also paying attention to the situation around him.
Suddenly, he opened his mouth in a low voice: "Master, over there in the pavilion." ”
He Xiao covered her mouth and nose, but her eyes were still cold, and she looked at the place where the sky said, and finally found something wrong.
The whole garden was burned black, partially, and at a corner of the pavilion, the color was completely different from the surroundings, and the light black was particularly eye-catching.
Walking closer, He Xiao raised his eyes and signaled, squatted down, took out another handkerchief, wiped off the light black flower powder, and what appeared in front of the two of them was a broken corner of a jade pendant.
He Xiao's eyes were already sneering, I don't know who this broken jade pendant could have been planted for.
Picked up the broken jade pendant through the handkerchief, dusted off the black ashes, and brought the jade pendant to He Xiao.
He Xiao glanced at it indifferently, and he already knew it in his heart, Mu Yungu, I'm afraid that someone is unwilling to let you go.
Turning around, He Xiao walked out, and there was no sense of inspection.
Tian paused for a moment, and also took a closer look at the broken jade pendant before re-wrapping it and keeping up with He Xiao's steps.
Although there is only a corner of the jade pendant, it can be clearly seen that most of the ancient characters are on the side.
