The master and servant were in a hurry, but there was no way, Xie Yuanzhi's drunken words were already overwhelmed.

The New Year's banquet in the harem was dispersed at dusk, and the state banquet of the previous dynasty was not dispersed until the night, but fortunately, Huo Jingcheng promised Wei Yanran to accompany her tonight last night, so she was helped by Qin An to Luoyang Hall at this time.

Yao Duran originally planned to have a good time with a few palace people tonight, but he was not in the mood at the moment, so he went to bed early to rest after bathing.

I slept until midnight, and suddenly heard a crowd of people outside the hall, mixed with the sound of chaotic footsteps. Yao Duran was awakened by this movement and knew that something was wrong!

As soon as the person sat up, he saw Biya hurriedly running in, and when he saw that she was awake, he hurriedly rushed to the side of the bed to report it.

"! Splendid Pavilion is gone! The big guy is putting out the fire! ”

"What?" Yao Duran's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she hurriedly asked, "Where is Xu Meiren?!" ”

Biya said: "Niangniang, don't worry, Xu Meiren is not trapped, she ran out in a nightdress, and she is crying in front of the Splendid Pavilion at this moment." ”

Yao Duran's heart was relieved, but her pretty face had become cold, she went down to change her clothes without saying a word, and finally hurried into the night.

Sure enough, the fire was shining on the other side of the Splendid Pavilion, and the thick smoke was rising straight up. The palace people are trying their best to extinguish the fire, the flames are scorching, the water is splashing, and the scene is noisy and chaotic.

The fire was not big, but it was not small, and the cabinet was already burned to the brim, and all the wooden panes were burned out.

Xu Huanyan was standing not far from the Splendid Pavilion in a nightdress, wiping away tears frequently, and Fusang comforted him repeatedly.

Yao Duran came closer, Xu Huanyan turned around when she heard the footsteps, revealing a frightened face, her face was still stained with black dust, and she was very embarrassed.

Printed with sparkling firelight, Yao Duran's face was very bright, and she opened her mouth and said, "Xu Huanyan!" What a means? Can you leave the Wanton Palace if you deliberately burn down the Splendid Pavilion?! ”

Xu Huanyan looked innocent, and knelt down with tears: "Niangniang, there are no concubines!" Is the concubine dying? How dare you do such a thing? Ask for a good understanding! ”

Yao Duran said angrily: "You don't have to quibble! This palace tells you that there are more places where this arbitrary palace can live, and I will move another room for you tomorrow, and if you have the ability, you will burn down the entire arbitrary palace, I think you are amazing! ”

"Wronged, the concubine is wronged. Ask the mother to know the truth, there are really no concubines! ”

As he spoke, the last ray of fire was extinguished, and only a million sparks remained, and the darkness in front of him was restored, and only the pungent smell of smoke still lingered in the air and could not be dispersed.

Seeing that the fire was extinguished, Yao Duran breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Fuquan, interrogate Fusang carefully and see how this fire burns!" Biya, help Xu Meiren to the dormitory of the palace to rest! With that, he turned around and walked away.

Xu Huanyan was helped to the main hall by Biya, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground again, and Chu Chu said pitifully: "Niangniang, please Mingjian, don't wronged the concubine!" The concubine really didn't burn the Jinxiu Pavilion, it was the wind that blew down the candles, so it was burned! As soon as the concubine opened her eyes, there was already smoke in the house, and the concubine couldn't care about anything, so she escaped like this! ”

Yao Duran snorted coldly: "Lies! Aren't you asleep? How do you know that the wind blew down the candle to burn?! ”

Xu Huanyan choked in his throat, and then bowed his head and knocked again, saying: "Niangniang, the fire can only burn like this, you can estimate it without thinking about it, please don't wronged the concubine." ”

Yao Duran was full of anger but there was nothing she could do, as long as Xu Huanyan didn't admit it, it would be a matter without evidence, what else could she do with her?

Yao Duran paced slowly on the ground for a few steps, and finally turned to Xu Huanyan and said, "Xu Huanyan, what do you want to do?" Walk out of the palace of wanton will to get the blessing and favor of His Majesty, and then go against the palace? ”

Xu Huanyan didn't admit it, and shook his head again and again to deny it.

Yao Duran stared at her with a cold expression: "Xu Huanyan, you listen to this palace, if you are willing to rein in the precipice and live in peace in the future, this palace can let you go." But if you want to shake the tree and make enemies of this palace, believe it or not, your fate will be worse than Concubine Li and Concubine Shu! ”

When Xu Huanyan heard this, hope ignited in her heart, she raised her eyes to look at her, and her expression was sincere: "Niangniang!" The concubine has already figured it out! In fact, the concubine shouldn't treat you like that at all, the concubine is too confused, and Concubine Shu is too cunning, so the concubine was confused about her for a while! Now the mother has stayed in the palace of arbitrariness, but she has never done anything to the concubine, and the concubine is grateful in her heart! In the future, the concubines just want to live in peace, respect you, saddle up and horse, and listen to you for everything! ”

Yao Duran naturally didn't believe it in her heart, but she had already changed her mind when she was in the courtyard, since she couldn't be ruthless to her, it was better to take advantage of this fire to get down her steps and let her go, otherwise how long would she be trapped like this? It's not a long-term solution.

"Xu Huanyan, the opportunity is given to you by the palace, and I will let you go! In the future, whether you want to make peace with this palace or become an enemy, you can think for yourself. I hope you will live in peace, otherwise the next time you fall into the hands of this palace, you will have no life! ”

Xu Huanyan kowtowed happily: "Xie Niangniang!" Thank you! The concubine must change her past mistakes and follow her mother loyally! ”

"That's it! Go to sleep on the beauty couch! After Yao Duran finished speaking, he returned to the bed, and ordered Biya to take the bed and put the soft pillow on the beauty couch.

Xu Huanyan breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him, and then slowly got up and walked to the beauty couch.

The two of them fell asleep in one bed and one couch in this way. But although Yao Duran was in bed, it was difficult to fall asleep, and it was impossible for her not to be wary of Xu Huanyan. After staying up like this for a while, I suddenly heard an announcement from outside the hall.

It was Huo Jingcheng who came overnight!

The two women got up in unison again.

After Huo Jingcheng came in, he went straight to Yao Duran, and the others were still a little drunk, and his body swayed slightly.

I don't know if he didn't see Xu Huanyan or was too lazy to scruple, so he directly hugged Yao Duran into his arms and comforted him gently: "Ran'er, you're afraid you're frightened, right?" Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here. ”

Yao Duran said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you are a concubine, Sister Xu is frightened." ”

Huo Jingcheng turned his head to look at Xu Huanyan, Xu Huanyan was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty!" I don't know how the pavilion burned down, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me! ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "It's okay if people are fine, say what the pavilion does." Well, you sleep yours. After that, he directly hugged Yao Du and dyed on the bed.

This...... Isn't it embarrassing?

Xu Huanyan returned to the beauty couch, Yao Duran also slept beside him, he stretched out his arm to let her pillow, and whispered drunk words to her.

"Dye'er, Qin An didn't report it clearly the first time, saying that it was a wanton palace to go to the water, I thought it was you here, and I immediately broke out in a cold sweat."

"Dye'er, Dye'er, don't let anything happen to you, otherwise my heart will be broken."

Yao Duran stretched out a slender jade finger and pointed it to his lips, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't think nonsense, I'm fine, I will accompany you through this life safely, go to sleep." ”

He kissed her finger and nodded slightly, but his hazy eyes refused to close, staring at her stupidly.

Yao Duran laughed silently and said, "Close your eyes." ”

Like a good child, he obediently closed his eyes.

At this moment, Yao Duran was able to fall asleep with peace of mind, but Xu Huanyan couldn't sleep again.

The man she was thinking about was right in front of her, but she gently cherished the woman she hated to the core!

In the dark, she stared straight at the two people hugging each other on the bed, and tears slowly fell from her cold eyes. At this moment, she secretly swore that one day, she would also have his arms and get his sincerity and love! Replace her Yao Dui with a watch!

The atmosphere was awkwardly in the middle of the night, and the sky finally dawned. Yao Duran said that the Splendid Pavilion had burned down, so he reallocated a living hall for Xu Huanyan, called Shuyu Pavilion, which was located in the Drinking Xiang Palace, where several other beauties lived.

When it was over, Yao Duran said to her kindly: "Sister Xu, your things have also been burned, and later this palace will order the Internal Affairs Office to send you some clothes and utensils." ”

Xu Huanyan thanked her, and Yao Duran took her dress to Xu Huanyan and asked her to change into it, and Xu Huanyan went to the Shuyu Pavilion of the Drinking Xiang Palace.

When she left, Yao Duran's worries still came. Sure enough, Huo Jingcheng asked about the farce at yesterday's New Year's banquet.

"What happened yesterday? How could Du Yan's wife suddenly make such a fuss? ”

Yao Duran's heartstrings tightened, it seemed that he knew it yesterday.

Hey, the carriages and horses are slow to write letters, and the gossip is fast.

"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know what's going on, Mrs. Du quickly got drunk like that, and started talking nonsense."

Huo Jingcheng said: "Nonsense? Others will only think that it is a drunken mantra. ”

When he said this, she was uneasy, and Yao Duran lowered her eyes and was speechless.

Huo Jingcheng took a sip of tea and said, "Why did this Du Yan marry such a lady?" Do you not know that evil comes from your mouth? I'm afraid I don't know how I'll die in the end! ”

She asked softly, "Your Majesty, is this annoying Mrs. Du?" ”

Huo Jingcheng frowned: "How can you not be annoyed?" When she made such a fuss, not only did Du Yan lose face, but even I was disgraced, didn't she want people to think that our monarchs and ministers were rivals in love? No matter how ugly it sounds, maybe Du Yan cuckolded me! ”

When Yao Duran heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! When you say this, the concubine is really frightened! ”

Huo Jingcheng looked at her and sighed, put down the teacup and came over to help her, and said, "Get up, I know your innocence, Luohua is just a ruthless thing." ”

Really! He understands Du Yan's thoughts about her! But he has always been magnanimous, and it should be tolerated, and he tolerated the courtiers secretly admiring the woman he loved.

Yao Duran took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, and the whole person was very pitiful: "The concubine's heart is only in Liulang, and there will be no transfer." If Rokuro doesn't believe me, I can only prove my innocence by dying. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" He scolded her: "Liulang naturally believes you, Dye'er, don't speak lightly, that's impossible." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qin An hurriedly came in.

"Your Majesty, Lord Du has brought Mrs. Du into the palace! Lord Du is outside the imperial study at the moment, and Mrs. Du is also coming towards the Wanton Palace! ”

said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, thinking that the husband and wife also hurriedly entered the palace for this matter and asked for their guilt.
