Chapter 206: Night Walk (Part II)
The night outside was like ink, the palace lights were bright, Tang Guxi was pulled by Su Chen, and hurriedly walked to the gate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info However, before he arrived, he saw a person running towards him, and after running closer, Su Chen fixed his eyes and saw that it was Lu Wei.
"Your Highness, it's not good!" Lu Wei was dressed as a guard, and his face was a little flustered.
"What's wrong, isn't the fire burning?" Su Chen said angrily.
"No, no, Your Highness, it's the king, the king asked you to go to the palace of the heart and say that there is something to talk about."
When Su Chen heard this, he was stunned, his father was going to summon him? Father summoned him at this time? The palace in the west was on fire, and the Lingying Hall was on fire, but his father ignored it and summoned him at this moment.
"Could it be...... The king found out? Tang Guxi muttered, his face pale.
"No, even if it will, not right now." Su Chen frowned slightly, and looked at Lu Wei again, "Did everyone go to extinguish the fire?" ā
"Go."
"Although the Lingying Hall is located in the western corner and is uninhabited, it also treasures a large number of treasures, and you all did as I said? Remember, the fire is just an illusion, and you must not touch it! ā
If he hadn't been helpless, he wouldn't have made such a decision. Fortunately, all the grass and trees that were burned there were prepared in advance, so that the men amplified the smoke and led it out of the door, and the fireworks were full of fireworks in the night, and the people who ran in to fight the fire would not see the real scene inside, but would only rush to catch water and put out the fire.
As for why it is the Lingying Palace, it is because the Lingying Hall is linked to the East Palace, and the previous crown prince's canonization ceremony was held here. The seals of each prince of the past dynasties are displayed here, and once something happens here, all the people in the East Palace will come to fight the fire.
However, time was limited, and time was running out for the two of them. Unexpectedly, his father would summon him at this time, and Su Chen was in a dilemma for a while......
"Lingying Palace?" Lu Wei suddenly asked rhetorically at this time, with a blank expression, "Your Highness...... Didn't it change to Zhicui Palace? ā
His words were very soft, but they exploded in the ears of the two of them like thunder......
Zhicui Palace? This time, it was Su Chen's turn and Tang Guxi to be stunned.
"When did I change to Zhicui Palace?" Su Chen was stunned, "That's Princess Zhao's bedroom, you, you went to Zhicui Palace to set fire?" ā
As soon as these words came out, Tang Guxi was stunned and frightened.
Could it be that the fire just started...... Is it Zhicui Palace?
"My subordinates don't." Lu Wei looked flustered, and hurriedly explained: "Fang Cai, my subordinates took people to the Lingying Palace, and before they arrived, they saw a fire on the side of Zhicui Palace. Thought...... I thought that His Royal Highness had temporarily changed his mind, Zhicui Palace belonged to Princess Zhao, and the East Palace would be in chaos, so Lu Wei didn't think much about it, and came back......"
After he finished speaking, he also understood most of it in his heart, and said in a daze: "In this way, Zhicui Palace was not ordered by His Royal Highness?" ā
Knowing that his people did not go to Zhicui Palace, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. But...... How could Zhicui Palace catch fire? In this day and age, it is really surprising that such a mistake is so wrong!
He turned around abruptly, looked west, and found that the direction of the firelight was indeed different from the Lingying Palace, more like the direction of the Zhicui Palace...... Sure enough, Zhicui Palace caught fire!
This...... What happened?
Then, on the way back, his subordinates ran into Gonggong Wan. Gonggong Wan asked his subordinates to inform His Highness that he would go to the Palace of Hearts to meet the king at this moment. Gonggong Wan also said that fires in the palace are common, and the servants and maids have all gone to put out the fire, even the people in the palace of the heart of the heart, so His Royal Highness does not need to panic, just come to the palace of the heart of the heart. ā
After Lu Wei finished speaking, he looked at Su Chen and waited for him to speak.
"Your Highness, you better go and see the king." Without waiting for Su Chen to speak, Tang Guxi turned around, "Since it was the Zhicui Palace that caught fire, there will be no one in the East Palace, you have already helped me so far, and then I will have my own measure." An hour from now, I will set out to be here with you. When the king summons you, there must be important matters to discuss, and there must be no delay. ā
Su Chenjian's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he glanced at the fire in the sky again, still relieved in his heart, "But you ......"
"Your Highness, I'm fine." Tang Guxi smiled, under the thick night, the distant firelight reflected her cheeks slightly red, "Don't forget, when I was at home, every time I came out, I went wherever I wanted, and I didn't miss a single time. Although I am not as skilled as Lin Luo, I am not incompetent. ā
Seeing that Su Chen's face was shaken, Tang Guxi said again: "You said that you are not Lin Xun, and if you believe me, then let me go." ā
Sure enough, it worked.
Su Chen suddenly remembered the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, in front of the Dawn Hall, when Lin Xun didn't let her get involved in the matter because he couldn't rest assured, Tang Guxi looked lost. This woman who doesn't want to be looked down upon, this woman who wants to take this risk to prove herself just because of someone else's words...... Even though he is weak, he is still strong.
Tang Guxi's eyes were scorching, and in this slightly cool night, it was like a furnace.
Su Chen knew that there was no room for delay at this moment, and finally compromised. He took a deep breath, took her hand and held it tightly, his dark eyes seemed to be dyed with a layer of mist, and his voice was low: "For an hour, no matter what the result is, you will come out." Otherwise, I'll bring people in. ā
The warmth of his fingers warmed her cold hands. Tang Guxi nodded, smiled, and then, he withdrew from his hand, stared, turned around and ran away.
The pale red dress finally disappeared at the gate, and disappeared into the night.
"Lu Wei, you wait here, if you see the people from the East Palace going back, immediately try to stop them. If you can't stop it, you will take someone to the East Palace with you, so that you can't be discovered. When I come back, when I see that you are not there, I will go to the East Palace to look for you. Su Chen turned around and made arrangements for Lu Wei.
Lu Wei clenched his fists: "Subordinates obey orders!" ā
Su Chen's eyes trembled slightly, his breath panted slightly, and he turned around and went out to walk towards the Maoxin Palace.
His steps were a little weak, and he never seemed to be so frightened or so frightened as he was now...... Perhaps, he shouldn't have promised her in the first place, he shouldn't have done it a day in advance from Lin Luo and Lin Xun, he shouldn't have secretly brought her into the palace, and he shouldn't have let her do anything......
What Lin Xun said was right, if something happened to her, then it would only be more difficult to get the jade seal back.
Thinking of this, he became annoyed again, didn't he just not believe her what he was thinking at the moment? If she hears it, how sad, disappointed, angry and aggrieved she should be.
When I left my dormitory, it became noisy. The maids and minions who went to fight the fire were in a mess, and they all carried wooden barrels to fetch water, shouting and walking continued, and the smell of burning became thicker and thicker in the air......
Walking on this noisy and noisy road, flanked by high vermilion palace walls, and in front of him was a wide avenue leading to the Maoxin Palace, Su Chen's heart was indifferent and extremely cold. (To be continued.) )
