On the day of the Midyear Festival, the sacrificial supplies were placed in the house early in the morning, and a group of people waited in front of the ancestral hall, led by the old lady to worship the ancestors. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

All the people in the mansion came, led by the old lady, and the two brothers, He Changming and He Changwen, stood on both sides, with solemn and solemn expressions.

A complete set of forms is not complicated, it is nothing more than a few pillars of incense to the ancestors, and a few words such as "Bless my Hou Mansion to be safe and sound, and bless my boy's future" and the like, but it took half a day to toss it down.

Qiu Ci followed the crowd and carried out all this step by step.

The sacrifice of the Midyear Festival requires everyone in the Hou to participate, and He Qiutong, who has not shown up for a long time, also wears plain clothes and follows the crowd to worship.

"Sister Yuan, come and put incense on your ancestors." The old lady spoke suddenly.

When Qiu Ci heard this, he had to move halfway.

"Thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, my Houfu concubine recovered from her illness and got married to Song Shizi, which is really a blessing from the cultivation of three lives......"

After the old lady chattered for a while, she handed Qiu Ci a pillar of incense and motioned her to incense.

Qiu Ci took the incense from the old lady's hand, knelt on the futon with a reverent face and kowtowed three times, and then obediently put the incense on.

In fact, she is very grateful to this body, and at the same time, she is also grateful to God for giving her this opportunity to be reborn, maybe it is her own arrangement in the dark, otherwise how could she have arrived at the Anping Marquis Mansion and become He Qiuci?

The old lady was very satisfied with her attitude, and in the old lady's cognition, this was the attitude that anyone should have towards their ancestors.

After the sacrifice, the old and young in the house all went to the old lady's Zhaoxian Pavilion to eat, and everyone just sat down according to their respective seats, when there was a sudden commotion outside, and then, a small servant hurriedly ran in.

"Master, master......" The little guy guarding the door ran in in a panic.

He Changming's brows furrowed, "What's so alarming?!" ”

"Walking the water...... It's ...... water," the little guy stammered, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pointed outside, looking panicked.

"Walking on the water?" He Changming was very puzzled, and everyone in the house didn't know what was going on, so they looked at each other for a while.

At this time, the butler hurried in from outside.

"Old lady, old man, there is water outside, and the fire is extremely fierce......"

The old lady was shocked, "Where to go to the water?" ”

Steward Kong hurriedly said, "Don't worry, old lady, the place where you go to the water is far away from the Hou Mansion, and it will not affect the Hou Mansion." ”

"Quick, show me around," said the old lady.

Qiu Ci also thinks it's very strange, how can there be a place suddenly on fire in the blue sky and white day?

A room full of people didn't even eat, and hula la-la hugged the door.

At this time, Ping'an Lane was already full of people standing on the street, and everyone came out to see the excitement.

I don't know where the water is going, but it seems that it is at least a dozen kilometers away from Beijing, but the huge black smoke that rose into the sky made everyone tremble.

The black smoke that filled the sky was very conspicuous, and when the wind blew, everyone seemed to be able to smell some choking smells, which seemed to be mixed with some blood......

Qiu Ci was taken aback, and her heart became more and more uneasy.

Mei Kexin stood beside her, very worried, "This fire is so big, I don't know where the fire started." ”

The old lady clasped her hands together and recited the Buddha's name, "Anatabha, Bodhisattva blesses, I hope no one is hurt." ”

At the same time, the soldiers in Kyoto were also mobilized, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division quickly dispatched people, and groups of soldiers on horseback galloped towards the place where the smoke was rising.

Qiu Ci frowned slightly, and the calm before the storm seemed to be about to be destroyed.

East Palace.

The crown prince Zhao Jingchang walked around the room with his hands behind his back, a little impatient, his eyebrows were tightly locked, as if he was thinking about something important to worry about.

The prince's henchman Ji Borui hurriedly came in from outside, and Zhao Jingchang couldn't wait to look at him, "How is it?" ”

Ji Borui's face was full of worry, "Your Highness, I'm afraid things are not good." ”

"Not good? What's bad?! The prince frowned, "What's wrong?" ”

Gilberry hesitated.

The crown prince Zhao Jingchang's face was also very ugly, "If the palace asks you to say it, you can say it, why are you hesitating?" ”

"Yes." Gilberry hesitated and said, "I'm afraid that one was discovered." ”

"What?!" The prince was suddenly shocked, "You mean, that place?" ”

He didn't say where, but Gilberry looked at him and nodded.

"How is that possible?!" The crown prince looked at him in disbelief, "How could he be discovered?" ”

Gilberry lowered his head and did not dare to answer.

"How could anyone find out?" The prince muttered to himself, and then he suddenly grabbed Gilberry's hand and looked crazy, "Who is it?" Who found out? Go! Kill him! ”

Ji Borui shook his head a little weakly, "It's Song Yu, he found out." ”

was discovered by Song Yu, Song Yu was the person sent by the emperor, that is, the emperor already knew about it.

"No, this palace doesn't admit it!" The prince gritted his teeth and said, "This palace has already ordered someone to burn that place, what evidence can he find?" ”

Ji Borui bowed his head and said, "He arrested Li Zequan." ”

"Li Zequan?" Zhao Jingchang stared at Ji Borui with red eyes, "You mean, Li Zequan is not dead?" ”

Ji Borui didn't dare to face Zhao Jingchang, and lowered his head to acquiesce.

Seeing him react like this, the prince suddenly sat down weakly on the ground, and his eyes were full of light.

"Li Zequan, he is not dead...... the prince muttered, "Berry, you say, will my father depose me?" ”

He was suddenly very afraid, he was afraid that this position he had worked so hard to obtain would be abolished by the emperor soon, this was what he was most worried about, and it was also what he was most afraid of.

"Your Royal Highness, no, the emperor will not abolish the crown prince, as long as you admit your mistakes, I believe the emperor will forgive you." Gibry reassured.

At this moment, the shrill voice of the waiter came from the door.

"The emperor announced that the prince will enter the palace and see you!"

The prince stared at the door for a long time, but he had no intention of going out.

Ji Borui couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, let's go out......

The prince stared at Ji Borui for a long time, and saw that Ji Borui was furious.

"Berry, go find your mother, go to your uncle." The prince urged, "Be quick, go quickly!" ”

Ji Borui hesitated for a moment, knowing that at this time, only the Queen Mother and the Yang family could save the prince, so he didn't speak, just turned around, and walked out of Gong Liu from the other side of the East Palace and went straight to the Yang family.

The eunuch at the door waited for a long time, but he didn't see the prince Zhao Jingchang come out, so he glanced at the royal guards beside him.

The emperor said that if the prince is unwilling to enter the palace, he will be escorted in!

Just as they were about to kick in the door and arrest someone, the prince came out.

As soon as the eunuch saw the prince come out, a habitual flattering smile appeared on his face, "Ouch, my Royal Highness, the emperor is waiting for you, please hurry!" (To be continued.) )
