Chapter Eighty-Four: Walking on the Water
(Today's welfare, two more and two more, I hope you will continue to vote for me!) The little demon will come on! )
The days of panic seem to be overshadowed by the comfort and comfort of the present. The New Year is approaching, and the marriage of the two princesses will be after the year, and everyone in the palace is busy, preparing for these two things.
Miao Zhi no longer has a quiet day, the palace specially sent the aunt in charge to teach etiquette, and the affairs of Linglong Fang and ready-to-wear shops were handed over to Shen Yuqian and Xiang Yan to take care of.
Since the last goodbye, she and Yuan Hongxuan have not seen each other, but Xiang Yan brought his notes every once in a while, and the two could only use words to tell the pain of lovesickness.
The rules in this palace are very complicated, you can't make a sound when eating, you can't make a sound with the chopsticks and the dishes, and you can only sit shallow on a chair, and the pace of walking must also match the frequency of the handkerchief. Miao Zhixue was anxious, and her whole body was sore.
It was easy to send Aunt Jiaoxi away, and Miao Zhi couldn't wait to come to the chaise longue and lie down, her face full of tiredness. As soon as she lay down here, Ning'er over there had already kneaded her obediently.
Not to mention that Miss, a tired person who learns, is already dizzy just listening to it.
Xiangyan came back at dusk, and when he entered the door, he saw Miao Zhi in an emerald jacket reclining on the chaise longue.
Seeing her come in, Miao Zhi, who was still a little paralyzed just now, got up and greeted her with a smile.
Needless to say, Xiang Yan also knows that in the past few days, she has become a messenger for the young lady and His Royal Highness, and the two of them have gone from a few days ago to a daily letter now, Xiang Yan is very curious, where do the two of them have so much to say every day.
Miao Zhi took the letter with a smile, and went into the back room to read the letter.
The letter was nothing more than gossip and greetings, but Yuan Hongxuan had a heart, knowing that Miao Zhi couldn't go out all day long after studying the rules, so he said some interesting things and interesting stories in the book, but this was the case, which also made Miao Zhi happy to close her mouth, and her heart was sweeter than eating honey.
I have to say that Yuan Hongxuan's writing is outstanding, and some idle words are also full of charm written by him, which makes Miao Zhi, who replied to the letter, a little difficult, and every time he has to turn over some poetry allusions.
No, the letter was finished, but this time she was worried again, she had a flash of inspiration, and she stopped talking nonsense, and changed Li Shangyin's "Untitled" and went silent.
Last night's stars and last night's wind, wine-colored candlelight reflected the monarch's face.
There are no colorful phoenix wings, and there is a little bit of wisdom in the heart.
Send Sichun wine warm in the air, only Jun Wen is in his heart.
There is love between the lines, and I hope that Mo Nian will be quiet and peaceful.
Closing the paper with satisfaction, even she couldn't help but sneer, I don't know what Yuan Hongxuan's reaction was when she saw this **spicy, **naked poem, she couldn't wait.
At night, the lights in all the rooms of the house were extinguished, and even the people who kept watch for the night were asleep leaning on the pillars or walls, and only a few lanterns were sporadic and dangling in the night.
Suddenly, there was a chaotic shouting sound from the courtyard to the east, and even Miao Zhi, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up.
Ning Er yawned and lit the lamp, but Xiang Yan was neat, and she entered the house neatly dressed in a flash.
"What's going on?" Miao Zhi asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
As soon as the three of them came out of the house, there was a hurried sound of slamming the door outside the gate, "Miss, it's not good, Madame's yard is out of water." ”
Miao Zhi was shocked, and the three of them hurriedly opened the door and rushed out.
I saw that in the east direction of the house, the fire was monstrous, and half of the sky was already red.
Why did Ling Shuirong's yard catch fire for no reason? Miao Zhi was puzzled, and hurriedly ran to the courtyard where Ling Shuirong was with everyone.
Before they arrived, the scorching heat was close to their faces, and the family members were very busy, and they all seemed to be the same as them, and they were busy when they woke up in their sleep, some of the coats were too late to button, and some of them didn't even wear jackets, only covered with a thin underwear.
The fire was menacing, and people were rushing to be the first, scooping water in various containers, and busy fighting the fire.
In just a moment, the tongue of fire swallowed the two-story small building in the courtyard, and even the few side rooms next to it were ignited, and even the few acacia trees in the courtyard that were more than two people tall turned into two small flame mountains, and the air was filled with the smell of smoke and fire.
"Someone, Madame is still inside!" I don't know who shouted, and the expressions on people's faces became more and more nervous when they heard this.
Through the shadows, under the nine-curved corridor outside the courtyard wall, Miao Zhi saw that Shen Fengyi's face was clearly reflected by the bright firelight. His face was dark, his eyes fixed on the arrogant fire, his pupils flickering with the light of the fire, he put his hands behind his back, and dressed neatly, as if he had expected the events of tonight.
Then, Miao Zhi saw Shen Yuqian who was walking in a hurry, and then he stood still behind Shen Fengyi, his lips fluttering, and he spoke extremely fast. He seemed to be about to run over to put out the fire, but he was stopped by Shen Fengyi, and then stood behind him obediently, only a pair of eyes were very anxious.
Rumble!
There was another loud bang, and the pillars of the main building were broken by the fire and fell, spraying hot sparks, and the people screamed, and they all quickly retreated.
Fortunately, there are large tanks of water everywhere in the house, and under the joint efforts of people to scoop water to put out the fire, the fire gradually became less and less big, perhaps because everything that could be found in the building was burned out, and after another quarter of an hour, the fire was almost extinguished, and some were only sporadic small flames.
Most of the small building collapsed, and the rest was crumbling, and everyone didn't dare to step forward.
"My lord, my subordinates were derelict in their duties and let Madame run away. Please punish you. The two smoky black and red guards knelt down in front of Shen Fengyi, their heads buried very low.
"What? Mother, not been, did you escape? Miao Zhi, who rushed over, happened to hear it, and Shen Yuqian asked in some astonishment.
"The subordinates have already inspected the room, except for the burned bedding and furniture, there is no corpse, even the Jiang mother and the maid Xi Hong are gone, and there are enough drugs in the meals of several of us today, so the subordinates are sure that Madame has indeed escaped."
The guard was still on his knees, arching his hands in reply, and a large piece of his broken hair on his forehead was scorched by the fire.
"It's not your fault, you all go down." Shen Fengyi said, his tone did not have any waves, and he couldn't hear his mood at this time.
Then he turned around, called Brother Jun, who was standing a little far away, and gave a few more commands, and then calmly disappeared at the end of the Jiuqu corridor with his hands behind his back.
On the narrow street that was only two streets away from the back street of the Bachelor's House, three black shadows hurriedly flashed into a house on the corner of the street.
Tian Cui heard the sound of the door in a daze, and planned to go out to take a look, but the sleepy insect was too powerful, she turned around, fell asleep again with her head into the bed, and chirped twice in her mouth.
There was only one lamp in the main house, and the faint candlelight illuminated the three faces under the cloak, who else would it be if it wasn't Ling Shuirong and the others.
Seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, Yi Concubine's heart finally fell to the ground.
After a rough discussion with Jiang's mother, she used the money given by Jiang's mother to find a few street gangsters, and waited until Jiang's mother brought a few of them into the house, and she unknowingly drugged those guards tonight, taking advantage of the chaos of the fire, and then rescued Ling Shuirong.
