Yan Rongling felt that Yan Shaoxun was the kind of person who would not shed tears when he saw the coffin. He must have other ideas when he is showing weakness now.

But what is his purpose?

Yan Rongling thought for a while and ordered: "Come on, let King Kang and his family quietly change to Cining Palace." No leakage of information is to be carried out, and five guards are to be placed in their original residence. ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."

Empress Dowager Zhong frowned and said, "Are you worried about Yan Shaoxun, and will you make a noise against Yan Qi?" ”

"Yes, Queen Mother. I can't think of any other way he can turn things around. Unless King Kang is dead, I am also dead. ”

Yan Rongling This was just speculation, he didn't know what would happen to Yan Shaoxun. At present, he is thinking about how to save Mingzhu.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night for many people.

Just after three o'clock, someone came to report: "Prince Qiyu, someone raided Qingwu Palace just now." All of the Assassins had been killed, and none of them were alive. ”

Yan Rongling sneered: "It seems that the King of Chu still has a thief's heart, delusionally thinking of plotting to usurp the throne and ascend the throne himself. How's the situation going in the Imperial Study now? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, everything is fine in the imperial study, we have surrounded the imperial study."

What Yan Rongling wanted to know was not this item, and asked instead: "The blood swallow sent in, has Princess Mingzhu used it?" There are also mille-feuille shortbreads made in the kitchen, and the glutinous rice lotus sent to the palace by Daoxiangyuan, have they all been sent in? ”

"Back to the prince, they were all sent in. And specified that it was given to Princess Mingzhu. ”

After listening to his subordinates' reports, Yan Rongling was a little relieved. What I'm most worried about now is that even if I am willing to exchange tomorrow, Yan Shaoxun is not willing.

He didn't dare to close his eyes now, because if he did, he would think of the worst.

For Yan Rongling, the worst result is not his life and death, nor Yan Shaoxun's successful ascent to the top. It's that Mingzhu dies in front of him, and he can't do anything about it.

Although Yan Shaoxun looks a little different to Mingzhu. But when it comes to the final desperate situation, who knows how he will torture Mingzhu.

Yan Rongling just thought about it a little, and felt like a knife in his heart.

Ever since Mingzhu knew that Xiao Yao's death was related to herself, Yan Rongling felt that Mingzhu had changed for herself.

There is no longer the unpretentious, heartfelt intimacy of the past, but a kind of perfunctory mixed with guilt.

Although Yan Rongling is confident, even if it takes ten, twenty, or thirty years, one day he will replace Xiao Yao in Mingzhu's mind.

But sometimes he looked at Mingzhu, calm and waveless eyes, and he vaguely regretted it.

At this moment, Yan Rongling was really honest and thought about it calmly. Wouldn't it be better if you let it go at the beginning?

Mingzhu will not become a widow and live alone with children. She wouldn't be like she was now.

She will be as close and close to herself as before, and she will even be happy because of her closeness to Xiao Yao.

"Someone, Yumen Guan Baojing Mountain Tomb, what is the situation now?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, now Lord Yang has sent people to surround Baojing Mountain. But without your orders, gunpowder was not used to blow up the mountain. ”

Yan Rongling had a strange conjecture in his heart, could it be that Xiao Yao was really not dead.

It is said that people's hearts are so strange, and I couldn't wait for Xiao Yao to be broken and ashes.

And now looking at Mingzhu's appearance, I will regret it a little. In addition, his father, Emperor Yingming I, died quietly, which is too surprising. And Yan Shaoxun has no heavy troops, but it is even more unexpected to rebel.

Dreams, after all, are dreams. You still shouldn't be too obsessed.

Yan Rongling was still thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard a commotion.

He frowned slightly, looked out the window, and saw a fire, rising into the sky. And the direction of the firelight turned out to be the imperial study.

Yan Rongling rushed out of the room and collided with Xiao Chengzi, who was about to come in to report.

He didn't care about scolding, and rushed to the imperial study.

At this time, the fire in the imperial study was already quite large, and many royal guards surrounded the outside, using the large tank under the corridor to store water to put out the fire.

It's just that the fire is fierce, and the water in the tank is just a drop in the bucket.

Ye Shisan had been guarding outside the imperial study, and he was the first to discover the fire. Then took advantage of the chaos to let Yan Shaoxun take refuge in the Imperial Forest Army, and mixed up a lot.

Yan Shaoxun and the others, who were resting in the hall before, all avoided because of the fire.

Ye Shisan took advantage of the chaos and worked with Gu Shiqing to let the disguised Imperial Forest Army mix up again. When Yan Shaoxun reacted, the people around him, except for a few dead soldiers, were already the queen mother.

Yan Rongling rushed over, not bothering to ask, Yan Shaoxun, who was surrounded by groups.

Instead, he rushed over and said nervously: "What about Mingzhu?" Is the pearl out? ”

Ye Shisan didn't see Mingzhu, he said to Yan Shaoxun: "King Chu, where is Mingzhu?" This fire is so big, why didn't you see her come out? ”

Yan Shaoxun saw that the general trend was gone, but he didn't regret it too much, and sneered: "When you came to set the fire, why didn't you think that Mingzhu was inside?" ”

"I didn't send someone over to set the fire, where does Pearl live?"

At this time, Yan Rongling and the others saw two chamberlains helping Concubine Bai Xian out. He hurriedly asked people where Emperor Hong Zhengdi's body was, and sent someone in to rescue him.

Then he looked around, but still didn't see Gu Fanghua.

Yan Shaoxun didn't believe what Yan Rongling said, he said coldly: "You didn't set this fire, did you still ignite it yourself?" You must know that at that time, several rooms suddenly caught fire at the same time. If it weren't for the arson, it was a coincidence, and I wouldn't believe it. ”

Yan Rongling couldn't wait, and said sharply: "Yan Shaoxun! Say it quickly! The room where Mingzhu stayed? ”

"What's the use of telling you? The first fire started in the back house. Unexpectedly, going around and around, Mingzhu's fate was finally buried in the fire. ”

Yan Shaoxun only felt a pity, he originally planned to give Mingzhu a happy one in the end.

But I didn't expect that this imperial study would catch fire strangely, so that Mingzhu would be buried in the fire again. Outside the back room, he was locked, and Mingzhu couldn't get out.

Yan Rongling didn't care about anything else, grabbed a cloak from Xiao Chengzi's hand, and then casually stopped a palace person who was fighting the fire and soaked the cloak in the water.

Gu Shiqing guessed his thoughts and stopped in front: "Prince, you can't go!" ”

Yan Rongling said to Ye Shisan, who was looking for a cloak: "Ye Shisan, I'll leave it to you here, if I have an accident, it has nothing to do with Mingzhu." Tell the Queen Mother, kill Yan Shaoxun, and support Yan Qihuo to ascend the throne. ”

After speaking, Yan Rongling took a deep breath and rushed in from the door that was burning but had not yet collapsed.
