Chapter 278: Burning the Red Plum Pavilion

She felt a little dizzy, but fortunately there was a magpie around her to help her, so that she would not fall.

However, just as Concubine Xian had just said such loyal words, several princes and Xu Ruru in the seats below stood up and were about to start investigating, when a thick black smoke from outside the Red Plum Pavilion entered the hall through this transparent four sides.

"Oh no! Let's go to the water! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

The people choked on the thick black smoke couldn't even open their eyes with coughing, tears and snot covered their faces, and only the sound of many people rushing around and calling for help could be heard outside. The queen was immediately anxious, after all, the only way out of this Red Plum Pavilion was the water corridor above the lotus pond.

There is a rockery in the back, but it needs to crawl to pass, what kind of identity the emperor is, how can he let him go to such a place.

The queen wrinkled her brows, for fear that the fire would burn on the water corridor, so she hurried over and helped the emperor up with Dequan.

"Your Majesty, there must be something strange about today's matter, we will order someone to investigate it another day, and now the situation is urgent, let's leave here first!"

"Presumptuous! These assassins are simply reversed, reversed! "As the weather gradually turned colder, the root of the illness left by the emperor when he was young, so that he was always prone to joint pain these nights, and now he was barely pretending to be by virtue of his fairly good complexion.

Even if he wanted to hold on to this dangerous area until the assassin was captured, he still had the strength to do it, and the person choking on the smoke and dust couldn't breathe, so he could only leave here half-pushed and half-escorted by the queen and Dequan.

Over there, Xu Ruyu and the seats of several princes were closest to the entrance of the water corridor, and they were more blessed by the upwind direction, so that the spread of the fire and the direction of the smoke and dust flying away were also facing the emperor's position.

Xu Ruzhu got up quickly, waited for the emperor to leave here safely before he breathed a sigh of relief, and like Xu Rulie, who protected Su Lian, he escorted Xu Ruru and left here.

However, Xu Ruyu had been pushed to the top of the water corridor by Xu Yin, waiting for the retreat, but somehow, Xia Shu could not be found anywhere.

In fact, since Xia Shu brought winter clothes for herself, she didn't see the lacewings and fluorescence around her, Xu Ruyu roughly guessed something. It's just that he didn't expect Xia Shu to do this for this, and he deliberately knocked her on the side, but he didn't expect Xia Shu to listen to a word.

"It's useless." Xu Ruyu lowered half of his eyes, and his tone was particularly cold, he was desperately working from the palace and dragging half his life to crawl out, so naturally he would not believe in others as easily as Xia Shu, and handed over his sincerity.

He also thought about living a good life with Xia Shu, respecting each other like guests, and maybe using Xia Shu's identity to help him, but now it is estimated that everything has become a bubble.

"Your Highness, let's go."

Xu Ruyu frowned with some disappointment, and when he heard Xu Yin's voice beside him, he bowed his head slightly to agree, but when the two of them just came to the shore, they suddenly heard one exclamation after another from the firefighting crowd.

"Oh my God, what's that?!"

"Isn't that the second princess, how could she be there?"

Suddenly came into his ears, Xu Ruyu couldn't believe his ears. Xu Yi pushed him to turn around, looked up again, and really saw that on the top of the Red Plum Pavilion wrapped in smoke and fire in front of him, on the platform specially built on the roof, stood the Wenren Xia Shu with an indifferent and resolute expression.

"She's ......" Xu Ruyu was stunned, for the first time in his life, he felt confused, or he couldn't believe his guesses.

But the next moment, the shouts from above and below the Red Plum Pavilion completely confirmed his conjecture.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Osawa, don't you want to catch the spy lurking in Osawa Kyoto, now that I'm here, please let me go."

"The bowl of lotus seed soup just now, I took a lot of effort to make it. It's a pity that Your Majesty the Emperor didn't get a bite of it, it's really a tyrannical thing. ”

The clothes Xia Shu was wearing were the gauze skirts of Miss Daze, which looked elegant and beautiful. The wide long sleeves and ethereal skirt constantly fluttered in the great abundance caused by the fire, and when viewed from a distance, it was like a fairy descending to earth, desperate and beautiful.

She looked condescendingly at the fleeing people below, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a mocking smile, and even her accent became very standard, as if she really used her simple female identity from the beginning to explore the movements of Daze Capital.

That's it, the emperor is not stupid, he would believe Xia Shu's nonsense so easily, but this lotus seed soup and the burning of the Red Plum Pavilion can indeed be sure to be from her handwriting, how can the emperor tolerate it, and immediately gritted his teeth angrily and shouted.

"It's just arrogant, come on, hurry up to the top and arrest her for me and put her in prison."

Hearing this, Xu Ruyu subconsciously turned his head and glanced in the direction of the emperor, but after all, he still kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything.

"It's too late."

Xia Shu was standing too high, so she didn't know what kind of expression Xu Ruyu was now, or rather, she didn't have the courage to face Xu Ruyu again.

"Around the Red Plum Pavilion, I have already quietly ambushed kerosene, and the fire cannot be saved. If any of you dare to come near, there is still the explosives I have hidden down there, and I advise you not to act rashly. ”

In fact, even if there is no need to bury explosives, the current fire in this Red Plum Pavilion is so raging, it is not something that ordinary people can approach. The forbidden soldiers were all stunned in place, and no one would run forward so stupidly to send them to death. Although the emperor was unwilling, he could only watch the Red Plum Pavilion being wrapped in flames.

Xu Rulie and Xu Ruru were already shocked by this series of things that happened today, Xu Ruzhu didn't know that the emperor had discovered the identity of Mu Pillow, and it wasn't until he saw Xia Shu's actions that he had some apprehensive speculations in his heart.

And no matter how much they say, they are just outsiders after all, relatively speaking, I am afraid that they are still in wheelchairs, and Xu Ruyu, who has nothing to do, is even more tormented.

The fire in the Red Plum Pavilion is getting bigger and bigger, because it burns sufficiently, so the black smoke before escaping has almost dissipated in this autumn wind, and all that is left is the orange-red flames, wrapping the square vermilion pillars of the Red Plum Pavilion.

The two colors complement each other and interpret the parting scene of the annihilation of all things.

The highest temperature always goes up, and most of the air is only used to provide a flame to burn, Natsuki can't grab such a sea of fire alone, plus the burning, the remaining dust and fine particles are stuck in Natsuki's throat, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"The previous assassinations, I was the mastermind of the plague, and I also ordered people to spread it, I am the daughter of the second king of the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa State has the experience of a woman being the emperor, and I planned this action to seize power in order to enjoy the supreme imperial power alone."

"Emperor of Daze, if you want to pursue it, I am willing to surrender myself, I just ask you to spare the people of my country, they are all innocent."

The building standing at her feet was slowly collapsing, Natsuki gradually lost her footing, and only by holding on to the railing on this side could she barely stabilize half of her body, she covered her mouth and nose tightly with her sleeves, but she still couldn't resist the intrusion of these strange smells that were smoked by the high temperature.

What kind of person is the second king of the Wa Kingdom is known for not learning and not knowing, only loves to be idle at home, and lives a rich life, and Natsuki, although the people of Daze don't understand, but it will not be so simple, I believe that she is a small woman, able to carry out so many plans and actions.

However, even so, Natsuki has been so determined to apologize for his sins with death. If Daze pursues these things further, it will make people laugh at it and lose the bearing of a great power, and even reverse black and white, deliberately provoking wars and other nonsense. It will also spread gradually.

As the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, in addition to being strong in force, the country is rich and the people are strong, and its reputation is far and wide, which will also be a matter of more concern. The emperor has always cared most about the power in his hands and the face of the country, although he can't accept letting Xia Shu be involved in so many crimes, but after Xia Shu is really dead, he really has no other reason to do anything to the Japanese country again.

Therefore, when the words landed, the emperor gritted his teeth for a while, but it was inconvenient to really agree, but Xu Ruyu frowned more and more seriously.

Xia Shu waited for the answer below, but she didn't hear any movement for a long time, she was very nervous, and she didn't want to show her timidity, so that people would find out the clues, so she only regarded the emperor as a tacit consent, and she did everything she could, and she died without complaint.

Thinking about it, Xia Shu took a deep breath, pressed her already overloaded heart, slowly stood up and generously prepared to die, but where her heart longed, her eyes unconsciously skimmed in the direction of Xu Ruyu.

Speaking of which, during the time I lived in the other house, I had been taken care of a lot by him. But he did such a thing, presumably the emperor will also have a grudge against Xu Ruyu, and the person he is most sorry for during this time in Daze is him.

"I'm sorry."

Natsuki narrowed her eyes, tears filled her eyes, and they automatically flowed down her cheeks, she let go of her hand, and actually danced in the desperate fire, stunned the crowd on the shore.

Because of local restrictions, Xia Shu's dance party will inevitably be somewhat restricted, but these most eye-catching movements still made Xu Ruyu clearly recognize that this was the "Moon Hime" she danced under the persimmon tree when she took the initiative to talk to her for the first time that day.
