Tomorrow, the body of the former emperor will enter the imperial mausoleum, and three days later will be his enthronement ceremony, and Song Chen is especially busy tonight.

Listening to the tedious rules reported by the ceremonial officials one by one, he suddenly saw the eunuch Liangxi who was with him exit the door, and after a while, he pushed the door in again, looking hurried.

Liangxi is the apprentice brought out by Zhou Yu, the head of the inner court, who has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and is already very capable of taking charge of himself, seeing him lose color like this, Song Chen couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong?" ”

Liangxi bowed down and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the side hall of the Sheng'an Palace is on the water, and Mrs. Xue has not been found yet." ”

"What?"

He was so frightened that he ignored the people in the temple and walked out of the temple door quickly.

After only half a cup of tea, Song Chen had already rushed to the Sheng'an Temple, but saw that the fire in the side hall had almost engulfed the roof, and even the courtyard was filled with thick smoke.

Song Chen swept over the crowd that had been freed, confirmed that there was no Chu Xue, and asked urgently, "Where is Xue'er?" ”

I saw Li Jiaoyun kneeling down in front of him, crying: "Your Majesty, Sister Xue, she was in the innermost part at the time, and she found the water first, but she was in chaos, she couldn't escape first, the guards had already gone in to look for it, and they hadn't found it yet......"

"Go find me again!" Without waiting for Li Jiaoyun to finish speaking, Song Chen roared angrily around. Looking at the fire that was still raging, his heart also felt as if it had been burned, the person he cared about the most, still pregnant with his child, how could he let her have something to do.

"Go find me again! Turn the Sheng'an Temple upside down, and find out Xue'er too! ”

The new emperor's angry voice sounded, and the guards immediately moved, and in the side hall that was still burning, a group of people wrapped in wet clothes rushed in.

The women who were lucky enough to escape didn't dare to come out, and the children sobbed quietly after the chaos, and in a corner, Princess Huai looked at the equally anxious King Huai, and carefully persuaded: "Lord, the county lord will be fine, don't worry......"

"Shut up!" King Huai stopped her in a low voice.

He was very angry at the woman in front of him at the moment, she was the mother of Huaiwang's mansion, and she was the mother who had been honored by Wen Pei for five years, why didn't she notice where Wen Pei was when the accident happened? She only thinks about her son, how could she ever treat Wen Pei as her own child?

He only has such a daughter, and that is the daughter who sweetly calls his father every day and spoils in his arms!

The news of the Sheng'an Temple also reached the Funing Palace.

Hearing the news from the little eunuchs trembling, Concubine Jing was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Did anyone hurt?" ”

The little eunuch muttered: "Back to Niangniang, most of the masters in the side hall are safe, only ...... Only ......"

Xu Jinhe, who was with Concubine Jing, kept silent, staring at the kneeling little eunuch, looking forward to the other party reporting the name she hated so much.

"Who?" Concubine Jing asked urgently.

"Only Lady Xue and Lord Wen Pei of King Huai's Mansion haven't been found yet." The little eunuch lay very low, his forehead pressed against the smooth ground.

"Ah......" Concubine Jing almost fainted, Chu Xue hadn't found it yet, the child still had her little emperor and grandson in her belly, in case there was any accident, it would be one corpse and two lives!

Xu Jinhe finally heard the news that made her happy, and an imperceptible smile flashed in her eyes, but seeing that Concubine Jing's face was pale, she hurriedly comforted, "Mother, don't worry, Mother Princess, Sister Xue and the little county lord Jiren Tianxiang will be safe, don't worry about your body." ”

Concubine Jing grabbed her hand and hurriedly said, "You go and see, go and see, what's going on there, quickly arrange for them to save people, don't kill anyone!" ”

Seeing that Concubine Jing was so worried about Chu Xue, Xu Jinhe was actually very dissatisfied in her heart, but she had the good name of Gongliang, so she naturally still had to make a good appearance, she bowed her head and said, "Yes, the daughter-in-law will go over now." After speaking, he instructed the female officials beside Concubine Jing, "Ning Kite, take care of the concubine." ”

Then he bowed in good standing and went to the temple of St. An.

~

And behind the side hall of the Sheng'an Temple, on a grass near the water, Chu Xue, who had just escaped, was panting heavily, the smoke was billowing in the hall just now, and the person who saved her had been covering her mouth and nose with a wet cloth, although this method could avoid the smoke of the smoke, but it made her breathe unpleasantly, and now she urgently needs relief.

The fire in the hall was fierce, and the direction of the temple door had long been blocked by the flames, and the person who rescued them broke a back window and led Yanling to escape here. There is a lotus pond here, and the fire can't burn here anyway, not to mention that in the front yard, more and more guards have already put out half of the fire, and they are finally safe.

Chu Xue's breathing was a little easier, and when she saw that she was safe, she suddenly thought of the person who saved her, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" Did someone send you to save me? ”

The man did not answer her, but said, "Madame is waiting now, and the slave will go out and have a look!" ”

The voice was soft, and it was the same tone as the eunuchs, Chu Xue was relieved, it turned out to be the palace man who was arranged to save people.

The man walked to the front of the hall, secretly investigated for a while, and waited until he saw the increasingly anxious look on the new emperor's face, and then came back to look for them, and said, "Madam, Your Majesty is looking for you in a hurry, let's hurry over." ”

Then he took her by his arms and went to the front of the temple.

When he turned the corner and saw the people in the courtyard, the man suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Snow has been found, and Mrs. Snow is here." "It's not at all as calm as it was in the fire.

Before she could have doubts, the people who heard the sound had already looked in their direction, and when they walked to the bright place, Song Chen finally recognized her, walked over quickly, and hugged her into his arms.

When she returned to the man's arms again, her strength suddenly disappeared in an instant, tears burst out of her eyes, and she choked up: "Your Majesty, the concubine thought she would never see you again...... The Emperor ......"

Since the moment the emperor returned to heaven, everyone has used the honorific title of emperor for Song Chen, but since that day, Chu Xue has not seen him, so this sentence just now is the first time she called him the emperor, and it is also the first sentence she has said to him in the past few days.

But he could barely hear it.

He was happy and heartbroken, for the first time in his life, he tasted the taste of loss and recovery, he just blamed himself very much, knowing that she was pregnant, why did he let her come over to wake the spirit? Is etiquette and form really that important, if you really lose her tonight, what is the meaning of this life?

"It's okay, you're fine, you're safe." He picked her up and took a good look at her.

After the chaos just now, her hair bun has been messed up, her face has been smoked with black smoke, her robe has been torn a few times, and she is looking at him with tears in her eyes, he is full of distress. But fortunately, people are fine, which is the greatest comfort.

When King Huai saw his daughter who was held in his arms by Yan Ling, his high heart finally fell, and he also stepped forward quickly, took Wen Pei, and let his daughter cry in his arms.

When everyone saw Chu Xue and them coming out, Yanling was still holding Wen Pei, and they all understood, it turned out that the reason why Chu Xue was trapped was because she delayed time to save Wen Pei, and she was still thinking about other people's children at the critical moment of life and death.

Princess Huai even stepped forward and knelt down to her, and said gratefully: "Thank you Madame for saving my family Wen Pei, thank you Madame!" ”

Chu Xue used to be a side concubine, and with Song Chen's accession to the throne, she was bound to be made a concubine, so it was understandable for Princess Huai, who was originally of a higher rank than her, to kneel down and thank her like this. In addition, the current situation is special, and Princess Huai urgently needs to redeem the trust in King Huai's heart, so this kneeling shows that she attaches great importance to this concubine's daughter, and can also redeem the favor of a few husbands.

Seeing that Chu Xue was found, Liangxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he had been in the palace, but a while ago he had inquired a lot about Song Chen, he knew that although the new emperor had four female dependents around him, only Chu Xue was the most favored, so when he learned that Chu Xue was trapped just now, he didn't know how worried he was, and now that Chu Xue was safe, he finally put his mind at ease.

He walked behind Song Chen, bowed down and persuaded: "Your Majesty, now that Madame is safe, there is still chaos here, don't stay for a long time, please take care of your dragon body, go and rest first." ”

Song Chen said softly to Chu Xue: "I will send you back." ”

"Hmm." The beauty nodded tearfully.

The imperial chariot was already waiting not far away, and the two of them rode up and returned to Chu Xue's new residence in the palace, Yufu Palace.

The three princes waited for the new emperor to go away, and they also dispersed, leading their respective families back to the palace.

Xu Jinhe, who was belated, was depicting the tragic situation of Chu Xue being engulfed by fire in her mind all the way, and the corners of her lips naturally hooked slightly, but when she carried her sedan chair to the outside of the Sheng'an Temple, the remnants of the fire that had almost been extinguished and the empty courtyard made her stunned.

She thought that when she got off the sedan chair, she could see the palace people who were crying for the death of that slut, and she thought that she could see Song Chen, who was sad and distracted, but why didn't she have any?

Could it be that so quickly, they have already disposed of the corpses?

She vaguely felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Qiu Gui to ask.

A moment later, Qiu Gui hurried back and brought her the news that she didn't want to hear, that slut was not dead! In the end, he was rescued by the palace people.

"Slut!"

This low curse should be talking about two women. It refers to Chu Xue, who escaped by luck, and Xia Wanyin, who is unfavorable!

If she knew that Xia Wanyin's slut was so useless, she would have sent a few more people to kill Chu Xue first while she was in chaos, so that Chu Xue would not escape again no matter what!

It's strange that she thinks too highly of Xia Wanyin, and it's strange that she spends all her energy on protecting her two sons.

I missed this great opportunity again!

"Niangniang, it's a lot of anger here, let's go quickly."

Qiu Gui carefully advised.

Xu Jinhe glanced at her, I really don't know how this maid explained to that slut last night!

Qiu Gui knew that he was angry, and he lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound.

"Go back to Funing Palace!"

Xu Jinhe said angrily in a low voice.

Since it was ordered by Concubine Jing, of course, I had to go back and talk back, so that my mother-in-law who was worried about that slut could rest assured.

Chu Xue experienced a fright, naturally tired, and when she returned to Yufu Palace, Song Chen first ordered someone to wait for her to take a bath, and she also went to change her clothes.

Ruyue Qijing, who was waiting in the hall, was shocked when she saw her appearance, but she couldn't ask in front of Song Chen, so she had to care for her while waiting for her to bathe. After explaining what happened tonight to the two, Yanling said angrily to Chu Xue: "Master, this time she wants to put you to death, you must not let her go!" ”

"That's nature." Chu Xue, who had calmed down, replied in the bathtub. After closing her eyes and thinking for a while, she instructed Yanling, "Ruyue Qijing serves me, you take my clothes just now, go to see the emperor, and explain tonight's events clearly." ”

"Yes."

Yan Ling picked up the filial piety clothes that had been splashed with pungent tung oil, sank her breath, and walked towards the main hall.
