Volume 1 Chapter 29 Sin Deserves
The candles in the hall are bright, and the voices of people are boiling.
After a while, the virtuous father-in-law outside the hall shouted, "The emperor has arrived!" The concubine has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! ”
Hearing the sound, everyone in the hall knelt on the ground, and the emperor and others entered the hall and ascended the high platform, and sat down, "Everyone is flat." ”
"Long live the emperor, Jin An." The crowd got up and sat down.
"I'm happy today, and all the ministers are also relaxed, don't get drunk and don't go home!" The emperor was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and he was not angry but mighty.
The words fell, the music began, and the dancing girls flew in, and the bright red flying gauze skirt was like a floating flame dancing continuously.
Yin Yuxi's bright and beautiful eyes swept over everyone and fell on Cheng Jianian's face, only to see his moon-like eyes deep and thorough, Qingjun's face with a little leisure, retracting her gaze, she always felt a little uneasy.
couldn't help but ask Luan Yi beside him, "Do you know something?" ”
Luan Yi's charming black eyes were like demons, and he fanned the fan in his right hand, and replied, "All the dancing girls tonight are found by Cheng Shizi, I'm afraid there will be a lot of chaos." ”
Yin Yuxi's eyes tightened, glanced at the emperor on the high platform, gritted his teeth and said, "Then why don't you sit next to the emperor and protect him?!" ”
"Look at what the county lord said, I am the emperor's favorite minister, and I am not the emperor's favorite concubine." Luan Yi's voice was crispy.
Yin Yuxi sneered when she heard this, Luan Yi was the most thoughtful, I was afraid that it had already been arranged.
The music is ups and downs, and the dancers are graceful, a little weak, and a little strong.
After the song, the dancer stepped back, only to see a woman wearing a pure white gauze skirt and holding a pipa to the center of the hall, sitting elegantly, her slender fingers plucked the strings slightly, and the melodious and graceful music floated out.
Yin Yuxi took a closer look, isn't this Qin Ajiao, isn't it Luan Yi's favorite singer, subconsciously looked at Luan Yi, and saw that Luan Yi really had a fascinated look.
Just when everyone was fascinated by what they heard, Qin Ajiao's eyes suddenly turned pale, her long sleeves flicked around the housing beams, and her right hand had already drawn her long sword and flew straight towards the emperor.
Yin Yuxi reacted to talk to Luan Yi, but Luan Yi also jumped and flew to the high platform, the paper fan in his hand quickly flew out and hit Qin Ajiao's waist, Qin Ajiao suddenly fell and fell to the ground, her face turned pale.
Luan Yi landed on Qin Ajiao's side, the corners of her mouth sank, but a rare chill came out, the paper fan held Qin Ajiao's chin, and her voice was as cold as snow and frost, "Who made you do this?!" ”
"Lord Luan, the slave family is just persecuted...... Qin Ajiao has something else to explain.
Luan Yi had already put away the paper fan and was about to speak.
No, just now those dancing girls poured out from both sides of the hall with a wooden barrel in one hand and a lantern in the other, opened the barrel and poured the contents by the window, and threw the lantern on the ground casually.
I only heard a "bang", and the flames instantly dispersed. The ministers were so frightened that they fled towards the door.
Luan Yi's charming eyes flickered with flames, and he walked to the emperor's side and ordered the guards next to him to protect the emperor and the concubines.
The concubines were already frightened, and the concubine was still relatively calm, and said angrily, "These people are really bold, they dare to openly assassinate the emperor in the palace, Luan Yi, why don't you hurry up and take the emperor out first." ”
"Lord Luan, all the doors and windows of the Dehua Hall have been closed, and when they are opened from the inside, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious."
At this time, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it had already rushed into the crowd, and the ministers who were calm just now were more and more flustered at this time.
Yin Yuxi looked at Cheng Jianian opposite, his figure was gone, he was still there when he sprinkled pine oil just now, but she couldn't find Cheng Jianian at this time, so she walked towards the opposite side.
Because the fire was too big, the whole hall was so hot that some people had even fainted to the ground, and Yin Yuxi came to the place where Cheng Jianian was sitting and carefully observed the surroundings.
"County Lord, are you alright?" Tan Mufeng hurried over, and when he saw what Yin Yuxi was looking for, he was silent.
"Look, you can get out there." Yin Yuxi raised her head and pointed to the inconspicuous corner of the roof, where there was a hole that could just drill through a person, she quickly withdrew her gaze and grabbed Tan Mufeng's sleeve,
"You, you go out first, let the Guards slam the door open."
Tan Mufeng nodded, and jumped out of the hall.
On the high platform, the emperor covered his nose but still couldn't help coughing, the black smoke had all spread, if they couldn't go out, I was afraid that they would be buried here.
Luan Yi was tightly guarding the emperor's side, for fear that someone would take advantage of the chaos to assassinate her, but now it seems that the most painful thing is Concubine Yuan, she already has some disgusting reactions, and her mood fluctuates a lot at this time, so she feels a faint pain in her stomach.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Concubine Yuan won't be able to hold on." The queen supported the original concubine, and while talking to the emperor, she continued to comfort the original concubine,
"Sister, you insist on it...... You have to hold on! ”
At this time, only two loud noises were heard, and the wooden door of the main hall was smashed open, and in an instant, people rushed towards it in a frenzy, and the nearest window against the emperor was also pushed open.
Luan Yi hurriedly pulled the emperor over, regardless of the devouring of the flames, and pushed the emperor out first, at this moment, a beam fell, Luan Yi looked at it and was about to smash it at several concubines, he took two steps forward and smashed the wood on his back, gritting his teeth,
"Concubine Yuan, take them all out!"
Concubine Yuan didn't care about worrying about her fourth brother, and shouted for the concubine behind her to jump out of the window quickly, and when she wanted to turn around and come back to save Luan Yi, a piece of wood fell down again and smashed between them, Concubine Yuan couldn't, so she had to go out first.
Soon, almost all the people in the temple had fled.
The emperor stood there full of anger, first asked someone to send the concubines back, and then asked someone to call Cheng Jiannian, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and Cheng Jiannian quickly ran over in embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, today the Imperial Forest Army was drugged at some point, and they all fell asleep." The tone paused, "Please also ask the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly." ”
"Naturally, I want to investigate thoroughly, but I am so disappointed that you have been so derelict in your duties as the commander of the Imperial Forest." The emperor clenched his fists and ordered directly,
"Remove Cheng Jianian as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and go back to the house to think about it."
Cheng Jianian didn't expect the emperor to make such a decisive decision, so he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, all the people in this Imperial Forest Army were brought out by the ministers, and now you are so indiscriminately removed from the position of the ministers, and the ministers are unwilling." ”
These words are both threatening and unwilling.
"Mu Feng, you can't go in?!" Master Tan grabbed Tan Mufeng's arm, "How can you ignore your own life, you can't go in here!" ”
"Dad, the county lord must still be inside, let me go!" Tan Mufeng's smooth face was full of worry.
The emperor remembered that Luan Yi hadn't come out yet, so how could he continue to talk to Cheng Jianian, and when he heard that Yinyuxi was still inside, he pointed to Cheng Jianian anxiously,
"You must bring Yin Yuxi and Luan Yi out to me, they must have a good time, I will ask you!"
Cheng Jianian hurriedly responded respectfully on the surface, but after turning around, those deep black eyes made people unable to see the bottom.
In the burning hall, the roof kept collapsing, and Yin Yuxi was stopped by a piece of wood because of the sudden pain in her back when she fled, and when she turned her head, she saw Luan Yi being pressed under the beam not far away, and she ran over for some reason.
"Luan Yi, Luan Yi!" Yin Yuxi tried her best to support the beams of the room, but she found that there was no movement at all, she saw that Luan Yi was about to pass out, and couldn't help crying,
"Luan Yi, wake up quickly and help me...... The two of us must be able to push it away...... Do you hear that? Luan Yi! ”
Luan Yi slowly opened his eyes, and now there was only purity left in his usually charming black eyes, and he smiled bitterly,
"You better get out quickly, we can't push the ......" gritted his teeth and moved.
"No! If you don't go out today, I won't go out either!" Yin Yuxi blushed, and continued to push the beams hard, looking at Luan Yi's careless appearance, her angry heart became more and more uncomfortable,
"Luan Yi, did you hear me speak...... If you die here today, tomorrow the Daze Dynasty will fall into the hands of traitors...... Even if you go to hell, you will not be at peace! ”
Luan Yi hooked his red lips when he heard this, gritted his teeth, and pushed with Yinyuxi, but unfortunately the flames were about to burn, but the beams did not move at all.
Yinyuxi's bun was already messy, and Tsinghua's elegant face was only tenacious.
At this moment, Tan Mufeng ran in and pushed hard with them, the beam finally moved a little, Luan Yi pulled out his legs, Tan Mufeng hurriedly stepped forward to help Luan Yi up, and thought that Yin Yuxi was still behind him, he turned his head.
Yin Yuxi hurriedly beckoned, covering her mouth and nose, "Don't hurry up and go out, what to see!" ”
In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor sat tired.
"Your Majesty, Lord Luan and Lord Yuxi have all been rescued." The Guards told the truth.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern, "How are they?" Are you hurt? ”
"If you go back to the emperor, Lord Luan has been seriously injured and has been sent back to Luan Mansion, and Lord Yuxi has suffered a slight injury and is resting in the palace of Concubine Yu."
A feast, a fire, shrouded the entire capital in haze.
On the morning of the erection day, the emperor's anger was unabated, and he ordered the criminal department to investigate the matter thoroughly, and Cheng Jianian returned to the house to think about it for the time being.
On the way back to King Cheng's mansion, Cheng Jianian sat in the carriage and looked at Lord Cheng, and couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart,
"Father, you spent so much trouble last night, and in the end, you got no benefits, and I am afraid that even my position as the commander of the Royal Forest Army will be removed."
Cheng Wangye looked leisurely and leisurely, but there was a bit of reprimand in his tone, "No wonder you have fallen behind these days, compared with Luan Yi, you are really far behind." ”
"Father, what do you mean by that?" Cheng Jiaxing felt a little uncomfortable.
Cheng Wang Ye knew that his son had a high heart, and he was unhappy when he heard himself praise others, so he reached out and patted Cheng Jiaxing's shoulder,
"Yesterday's fire was just a test, two days ago there was news from the palace that Wang Yue, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace, had met Luan Yi a few times. This has been with me since I was a child, and I trust it the most, but now that something is wrong, I want to test it. ”
