Chapter 244: Escape from Death
Lanyue Courtyard was empty, in order to play this scene of crying, making trouble and hanging himself, Tang took care of his face and followed Zhirong's advice to spend everything else.
The people don't know why, but since the master speaks, he is naturally happy. Even the girl brought by the Qi family to stay outside was just now branched out by Zhirong.
At this time, it was already night, everyone had rested after dinner, and the whole Baifu fell into silence, and only the sound of "crackling" firewood was heard for a while.
The three people in the room were all weak and couldn't move, and they couldn't even shout for help when they saw the fire spread little by little.
Zou's mother didn't know what she thought, and suddenly turned her head to look at the incense stick that had just burned out the last section, and exclaimed in amazement: "Is there something wrong with that incense, that incense......"
But it's too late to say anything.
Qi has just recovered from a serious illness, and he is the weakest in his body, and he is now groggy and half-awake. Mother Zou struggled to move to Qi's feet, shaking Qi with all her might, and called, "Madam, Madame, wake up!" ”
Tang Shi seemed to have reacted to something, reached out to probe the child's snort in his arms, and really noticed that the child's breath was weak. I don't know if it was under the light of the fire, and the child's little face seemed to be flushed.
It turned out that the child was not able to sleep peacefully in the noise because he returned to his mother's arms, but because the child was the most sensitive, and was the first to faint under the influence of the fragrance.
"Zihan, Zihan!"
Qi Shi was confused and sobered up for a while, and vaguely seemed to hear a rush of footsteps outside, and his heart moved, but he only heard a loud "clang", and the door frame in the middle fell down.
The footsteps outside suddenly stopped, and then there was a call: "Madame? Is Madame in there? ”
Qi's lips squirmed, but she couldn't make a sound, but Zou's mother on the side came to her senses and shouted strongly: "Hongluan...... Ahem...... Girl Hongluan...... Ahem, ma'am, here...... Ahem, ahem. ”
As the door frame fell, the billowing smoke poured in from outside, and it made people choke as soon as they opened their mouths. But this is not a disadvantage, at least the people outside can hear it clearly or not, and they can know that there is someone inside by listening to the coughing sound.
There was silence outside for a while, Zou's mother was uneasy, Qi had already fainted again, Tang held her daughter and trembled like chaff, and the firelight was already reflected in Zou's mother's eyes.
Tang muttered in despair: "My Zihan is still so young, who will save her......
With a "bang", someone broke through the burned door and broke in, and the person who came shook off the bedding on his body, and it was the new girl in the house.
"Madame!"
Hongluan was attracted by Zhirong, and hurriedly came halfway to notice that something was wrong, and was startled when he saw that Qi was motionless, and he was relieved to find that he was only unconscious.
Zou's mother was desperate and said happily: "Miss Hongluan, hurry, save Mrs., take Mrs. away." ”
Hongluan looked around, nodded and helped Qi out, draped the wet futon over the two of them, and took Qi out with difficulty.
There was another "clang", a beam grazed the heels of the two and fell, and the futon was gasy, but fortunately, water was poured on it, and the two went out quickly, and it finally didn't burn.
Hongluan put the Qi family in the open space outside, and everyone in the house finally heard the movement at this time, and rushed to put out the fire with buckets, but the fire had been completely ignited, and now it was obviously a drop in the bucket to put out the fire.
Seeing that Mrs. was rescued, everyone stepped forward one after another, Bai Boren rushed over, Hongluan handed over the Qi clan to him, turned around and rushed into the sea of fire amid the exclamations of everyone.
There was already a sea of fire in the room, and in the thick smoke, only the weak coughing sound of the two people could be heard, and it was obvious that it was already the end of the crossbow. The beams on the ground were crackling, and as soon as Hongluan helped Zou's mother up, she heard Tang shouting: "Please, please, take the third lady out too." ”
Hongluan saw that Tang was already delirious, but he still protected the child in his arms, and couldn't help but say, "Wait a little longer, I'll be back soon." ”
Tang shook his head and pleaded humbly, "First, take her out first, please." ”
Before Hongluan could speak, Zou's mother was already struggling to stretch out her hand, Tang took one last look at her daughter with tears, reverently imprinted a kiss on the child's forehead, and then handed it to Zou's mother ruthlessly.
Zou's mother gritted her teeth and took the child into her arms, Hongluan struggled to help her out, the heat wave rushed in, and the child in her arms seemed to be extremely uncomfortable, and finally let out a cry in her sleep.
At this moment, there was another loud bang behind him, and Hongluan turned his head in shock, and there was naturally no Tang Clan's figure in the sea of fire behind him. Her eyes were hot, she gritted her teeth and turned to walk out quickly, the sound of heavy objects falling behind her.
It was about time to get outside to breathe in the fresh air, and the child's cry became louder and louder. Everyone knew that it was useless, and it was no longer in vain, and with a "boom", the house finally collapsed, and the Tang family was completely buried.
When Bai Yanran learned the news, Qi had already woken up, holding the third lady in her arms and weeping sadly. Bai Yanran was relieved to see that her mother had nothing to do, but she couldn't help but feel sad when she looked at the child's ignorant eyes.
Mother Zou had already eased up, and said with red eyes: "Aunt Tang was trapped in the fire with us, and she has been protecting the third lady, she shouldn't know the inside story." ”
Bai Yanran said with a calm face: "I know, although Aunt Tang has some calculations, she is not a ruthless person, and she does not have such skills and courage, she must be the one who borrowed a knife to kill people behind her back." ”
Hearing this, Hongluan stepped forward and saluted Bai Yanran and said, "The princess guessed correctly, it was the girl named Zhirong next to the Tang Clan, who had been caught by our people who were guarding outside.
It was her subordinates who didn't notice her plan for a while, and when they rushed back, they only had time to rescue Mrs. and Zou's mother, and asked the princess to punish her. ”
Bai Yanran let out a long sigh of relief, and the boulder in her heart finally landed.
"Miss Hongluan doesn't have to blame herself, this person has always been scheming. I also want to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for letting Miss Hongluan ambush her mother, but fortunately, her mother and Mother Zou are fine. ”
Zhirong has been guarding outside since setting the fire, seeing that the fire has become irreversible, he left with confidence, but he didn't want Hongluan to be bold, so he went in to save people.
She wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but she didn't want Bai Yanran to deploy earlier. In order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, he did not transfer the guards of the palace, but borrowed people from the prince, and Zhirong was caught by the guards of the prince's mansion as soon as he left the palace.
It was about the Bai family, and Hongluan pressed the people to the palace and handed them over to Gu Fang according to the prince's orders. Gu Fang's injuries have healed most of them, and he blames himself, and when he learned that this person is Liao Guangtian's subordinate, he naturally won't pity Xiangxiang and cherish the jade.
However, Rao is like this, after a whole night, Zhirong seems to have been fished out of the blood, but he still bites to death and refuses to say anything.
Bai Yanran waited all night, and when the sky was dark, she listened to the light footsteps of the girls outside, got up and opened the window. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and then he became more and more gloomy.
Outside the window, there is a flower garden, which is planted with the wood hibiscus that Ji Lingyun specially moved from the mountain behind the Niangniang Temple. Although hibiscus is not a precious flower, it is not an easy flower, and it is not easy to feed these plants this year.
At the beginning, Ji Lingyun also said that when these wood hibiscus flowers bloomed, the two of them would have two drinks under the moon. When I left, I was still thinking about it, saying that when I came back, it was almost still blooming.
Bai Yanran has been waiting, waiting for Ji Lingyun to come back to enjoy the flowers. But now that the flowers are blooming, Ji Lingyun still hasn't heard from him.
She muttered, "Ji Lingyun, I'll wait for you for a few more days, and I won't blame you when I come back before Hua Xie." ”
Ji Lingyun, who was thousands of miles away, suddenly woke up from his dream, and Shu Yue, who was stunned by the bed, was suddenly startled and saw that Ji Lingyun had already sat up.
Ji Lingyun looked in a trance, and it took a while for him to completely wake up. Just now he was trapped in a nightmare, and countless people flashed in front of him, but he seemed to be covered with a veil and couldn't see clearly.
However, there was a figure in the countless chaotic pictures that made him pay special attention, and he couldn't help but chase after her figure, but he never saw the woman's face clearly, and he couldn't help but be a little irritable and lost.
"Lingyun, what's wrong with you? But you're not feeling well? ”
Only then did Ji Lingyun realize that Shu Yue was standing beside his bed, frowned, suppressed his displeasure and said, "Miss Lin, men and women are not kissed, so don't go in and out of the lower room at will in the future." ”
Shu Yue thought of the sentence "Yan'er" in Ji Lingyun's sleep, and became more and more unwilling in her heart, gritted her teeth and endured for a moment, then smiled and said shyly: "Lingyun, you and I don't have to worry about these things, after all, we didn't care about these things in the past." ”
Ji Lingyun was stunned for a moment, heard some meaning, got up and said, "I don't know what Miss Lin means by this?" ”
Shu Yue was ruthless, looked at Ji Lingyun with affection and said aggrievedly: "Lingyun, although you have lost your memory now, do you really not remember me at all?" You came all the way from the capital to find me! ”
Ji Lingyun couldn't help but be stunned, and lost his voice: "You ......"
Before he could say more, Shu Yue had already shed tears, and Pear Blossom looked at Ji Lingyun with rain and said: "When I fell into the dust, I was thanks to you for rescuing me, and I fell in love at first sight, but I knew that I was humble and didn't dare to respond to you." Later, I fled to the capital, and when I said goodbye by mistake, you had already married the princess.
I was already dead, but the princess somehow learned about us, and took me into the palace with her side. It sounds good to take care of me in Beijing, but in fact, it is to use me to blackmail you. ”
After saying that, Shu Yue turned her head with tears, as if she couldn't cry, and then said after a while: "Later, I couldn't bear to let you be in a dilemma, so I left the capital and came here to join my aunt, I didn't want you to find this from the capital, I, I am really happy." ”
Although Shu Yue recognized herself at a glance yesterday, she also told her identity and origin, which made Ji Lingyun faintly impressed. But now looking at the woman in front of her, there is no throbbing in her heart.
As if seeing Ji Lingyun's hesitation, Shu Yue bit her lip and whispered with a red face: "If you don't believe it, see if there is a red birthmark on the back of your waist." ”
Ji Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and his sword eyebrows furrowed. The day before yesterday, when he was bathing, he saw that there was indeed a red birthmark on the back of his waist, this kind of place must be seen by people close to him, could she be the woman in his dream?
