Since the case of King Hui, Xiao Jingning has not summoned Pu Yangying, and his requests were all blocked by Xiao Jingning on the grounds that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is well, and Pu Yangying cannot guess during the change of attitude. What's more, Xun Baishui and the courtiers' attitudes towards the Changlin Mansion have also changed somewhat, although they are not good friends, but they are no longer deliberately targeted.

Pu Yangying felt that it should be something Xun Baishui and the queen said, otherwise the queen would never act like this because of the queen's trust in him, usually he only needed to pass the word when he entered the palace, basically there was no hindrance, and over the years, the queen only listened to Xun Baishui's words. I don't know why, during this period of time, the defense of the East Palace was tighter than in the past, so that the news he sent out was always intercepted, and it could not reach people at all, until today, while the queen and the hundred officials sent Xiao Xin out of Beijing, the news was finally delivered to people.

The moonlight was bright that night, Xiao Jingning wanted to try if she could meet Xun Ruolan again at night, so she fell asleep early, as for Xiao Xin, who went to Weiling, she was not worried. It's just that tonight is destined to be uneven, and the people who are hiding in the shadows are finally waiting for Xiao Xin to leave Beijing, how to hold it.

The moon shadow hung high, enveloping the entire Jinling, and after the prince's lady Cui Ping tucked the corners for him, she looked around, instructed the palace maid on duty to wait a few words, and then looked back at Xiao Yuan, who was sleeping sweetly, and a trace of unbearability flashed in her eyes, and finally went down.

When it came to the third watch, the palace maid on duty only felt sleepy, and she was a little puzzled, after all, she was on duty at night, and she slept during the day, but now her eyelids are getting heavier and heavier. After yawning a few times, the palace maid on duty put her hands on her face, but she still couldn't resist the sleepiness, after all, she closed her eyes, her head little by little, and then she lay on the table with a "bang", her hand just knocked down the candlestick, and the candle rolled on the ground a few times and went out. I don't know how long it took, I picked up the candle with one hand, lit it, and then lit the hanging curtain not far from the prince's bed, and then put the candle under the hanging curtain, and jumped out of the windowsill. At this moment, the palace maid and the prince on duty are still asleep, and the attendants are also dozing.

The fire gradually spread, and the people on duty in the East Palace this night did not know why, they slept very dead, or a eunuch in the outer hall was woken up by a burst of smoke, at a glance, the fire had already rushed to the roof, and he was suddenly awakened by drowsiness and was frightened, and hurriedly rang the bell to warn. Soon the fire swept through most of the dormitory of the East Palace, the fire was too fierce, the door of the dormitory was not opened, and there was no idea what was going on inside, no one came out at all, and the eunuchs in the outer hall were in a hurry. Fortunately, Xun Feizhan was on duty, and was patrolling to the vicinity of the East Palace, and when the bell came, he looked here, and the firelight made his heart chuckle, and he flew up, kicked open the door of the palace with a hard kick, and saw that the palace maids and attendants in the dormitory were still asleep in their respective posts, and such a big fire did not wake them up. didn't have time to think about it, he quickly came to the couch, and when he saw Xiao Yuan, who was looking at the firelight in horror, he suddenly didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, picked him up, and flew out of the Changxin Palace.

At this time, the palace maids, eunuchs and the Praetorian Guards began to put out the fire, and the palace maids inside were also carried out and thrown to the ground, and no one cared whether they were dead or alive for the time being. Xiao Yuanshi didn't seem to have any external injuries, but he choked and coughed, Xun Feizhan was distressed and wanted to let him down and pat him on the back, but the child was scared a lot, he was awakened by the heat wave, and when he opened his eyes, he was full of firelight, where was he willing to come down at this time, as soon as he realized Xun Feizhan's intentions, he immediately hugged his arm tightly, and refused to let go.

Xiao Jingning was awakened by the long sound of the golden bell, and when he was about to ask, the disheveled Su Ying rushed over, "Niangniang, there is a fire in the East Palace!" ”

Xiao Jingning couldn't care about anything for a while, turned over and got up, and rushed to the East Palace, although they had only been together for just over a month, Xiao Jingning had already regarded Xiao Yuanshi as his own child, this child was really distressing, and he thought about not having anything to do. When he arrived outside the East Palace, he saw Xiao Yuanshi, who was holding Xun Feizhan's arm and refused to come down, and suddenly said urgently: "Yuanshi, how are you, ah?" ”

As soon as he heard her voice, Xiao Yuanshi immediately let go of Xun Feizhan and threw himself into her arms, unable to speak at all. Xiao Jingning hugged him tightly, and his whole body was trembling. Xun Feizhan was startled when she saw Xiao Jingning's makeup at a glance, dressed in bed clothes, with her hair draped and her feet down, it was obvious that she got up directly from the couch and didn't even put on her coat, and then looked at the lady in charge who followed her closely, Su Ying, and quickly lowered her eyes, even if this was his own aunt, he couldn't be so rude, and there were so many people coming and going here, even if he knew that the queen was a beloved son, but it was not good for the mother of a country to be bumped into like this, and hurriedly reminded: "Niangniang, now Your Highness needs to ask the imperial doctor on duty to take a look, And there are many people here and there is inconvenience, Niangniang, do you think you will send His Royal Highness to the South Side Palace? ”

At this time, Xiao Jingning had already calmed down, she comforted Xiao Yuanshi, no matter how he grew up for more than a month, he was still just a child after all, and then looked at the palace maid who had not woken up on the ground, she faintly speculated in her heart that this disaster was probably man-made, and her eyes were suddenly cold, and her aura was full of aura, and when she looked at Xun Feizhan's avoidance of her makeup, she also knew that he was avoiding himself and Su Ying's makeup, took a deep breath, and said: "According to what you said, I will hand it over to you here for the time being, these people, this palace will be interrogated in person!" ”

After saying that, Xiao Jingning took Xiao Yuanshi to Zhengyang Palace, and the imperial physician on duty had been called to wait in the Nanbei Palace, and appeased Xiao Yuanshi, and asked him to go first to let the imperial doctor diagnose the pulse, and she and Su Ying wore clothes, shoes and socks, tied their hair in a bun at will, and came to the Nanbei Hall in just a quarter of an hour before and after, asking about Xiao Yuanshi's situation. Fortunately, Xiao Yuan was not injured, and the doctor said that he was frightened, and he could rest for two days. After drinking the soothing soup when he fed Xiao Yuan in person and coaxed him to sleep, Xiao Jingning returned to Zhengyang Palace, and then began to interrogate Gong E, who was on duty inside and outside the East Palace.

The people on duty in the inner hall woke up after being pricked by the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor's statement was that they were drugged, so they never woke up, so Xiao Jingning naturally understood that these people were not to blame. But the East Palace was burned, and the prince was surrounded by flames when he was asleep, and it was all saved by Xun Feizhan rushing in and out. That night, all the people on duty in the East Palace, including the subordinate officials, eunuchs, and chamberlains Gong'e, were all fined one year and one month, and their grades were also downgraded by one level. This method is very gentle compared to Xun Ruolan in the past, according to the queen's past affairs, she doesn't care how things happened at all, such a major mistake has put her life in danger, and all of them have to go to the Yama Palace to report, so even if they feel wronged, they are also grateful.
