Chapter 67: The Burning of the Dormitory

A dark green hairpin, that was when he left the country, she went to see him off, and what he left for himself was a token of love.

Since then, she has worn the hairpin no matter what kind of bun she combs, and she has been wearing the hairpin for more than ten years.

I used to look at the hairpin full of joy, but now I see it with only endless sadness.

Suddenly, she pulled off the hairpin and stabbed it hard in the chest.

She had waited, she had hope, she had the last glimmer of hope, and even now, she still has the last glimmer of hope.

However, it was too cold and dark to see any light. She couldn't hold on any longer in this endless darkness.

What is more terrible to her than death is this endless torture, endless torment.

Compared to the withering face, it is disgusting. She's more like she's stuck here. At least it's fashionable and in its prime. In his memory, everything is still beautiful.

The news of Concubine An's death came in the evening when she was away from the king and had dinner at the queen's place.

Because Concubine An's affairs are extremely secret, not too many people know about it, so the news also quietly reached the ears of King Li.

When he heard the news, he was scooping a spoonful of lotus seed soup from a bowl full of lotus seed soup, and he heard the news as soon as he brought it to his mouth.

In this way, he didn't eat the lotus seed soup brought to his mouth for a long time, and finally after a long time, he slowly put down the spoonful of lotus seed soup.

The deep gaze suddenly gave birth to a trace of sadness at this moment, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and a faint pain.

He knew that he would never have the chance to see that gentle smile again, so he let his heart be very stable.

The person who came to pass the news whispered in Liwang's ear, Gu Xiaonuan didn't hear it, but seeing Liwang's expression, she probably guessed it.

Seeing that the king was silent, Gu Xiaonuan said tentatively, "What's wrong with the king, is the lotus seed soup not delicious?" ”

After being silent for a long time, he raised his head, looked at Gu Xiaonuan and smiled faintly, his eyes were a little sad, and the corners of his mouth were a little bitter, and said, "It's okay, it's good, that, Ah Yao, you eat by yourself first, this king still has something to do, so he will leave first." ”

Gu Xiaonuan didn't say anything, just stood up and sent off the king. Looking at the back of leaving the king, Gu Xiaonuan sighed in her heart.

King Li didn't expect Concubine An to commit suicide. And so soon, before he was ready, she left herself. This made King Li's heart feel more regretful.

If she had left with her extreme disgust with her, she would have no regrets. But just like now, he didn't dislike her extremely, he was just angry with her, but she left, and he regretted it the most.

He was always like this, and he always felt sorry for everything after it was lost.

Concubine An's affairs are extremely secretive, and no one knows the news of her accident. The guards were also specially appointed by the king.

It's just that since Concubine An's accident, those who guarded her have also disappeared mysteriously, as if they were lost in this deep palace.

After dinner, Gu Xiaonuan called Wei Rou, as if she wanted to talk to Wei Rou about something, and asked Tingyin to close all the doors and stay outside.

Wei Rou looked at Gu Xiaonuan's mysterious expression, and asked, "Princess, who are you?" ”

"Wei Rou, go and help me save someone." Gu Xiaonuan raised her head and said.

Wei Rou frowned slightly, "Save whom?" ”

Gu Xiaonuan whispered a few words in Wei Rou's ear, and Wei Rou's brows furrowed even deeper.

Then Wei Rou nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way." Then he turned and walked out of the room.

Watching Wei Rou leave, Tingyin walked in, looked at Wei Rou's back and said, "Princess, do you really believe in Wei Rou?" ”

Turning the teacup in her hand slightly, Gu Xiaonuan held her forehead with one hand, thoughtfully, "If she successfully completes this matter, I will believe her." ”

Listening to the sound was a little uneasy, she could see that Gu Xiaonuan was also a little uneasy, she always liked to turn things when she was uneasy, she didn't have this habit before, it was a habit that she only had after a serious illness in winter.

After sitting for a long time, Gu Xiaonuan felt tired, it was rare for her to be tired so early. Maybe it's because I'm too tired these days, so I feel sleepy so early.

"Ayin, I'm going to rest."

After saying this, Gu Xiaonuan stood up and walked towards the cabinet, and she fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.

I just slept until midnight and seemed to be awakened by a scorching heat, and when I opened my eyes in a daze, I saw thick smoke billowing in front of me, and oil was dousing the fire. With the choking smoke that she coughed violently, Gu Xiaonuan got up from the bed and covered her mouth and nose.

She jumped out of bed, only to feel sore, and before she got up, she fell off the bed and fell to the ground.

She was sore all over, and she had no strength at all, so it took a lot of effort for her to climb next to Tingyin, and she used all her strength to shake Tingyin, trying to wake her up, but there was no movement after shaking for a long time.

panicked, thick smoke filled the entire hall, she almost couldn't see clearly, covered her mouth and nose Gu Xiaonuan crawled to the table, groped for the tea on the table, climbed back with the teapot, she poured the pot of water on the listening head, and the listening sound woke up in a daze.

"Ayin, wake up and wake up......." Gu Xiaonuan felt that she was almost out of strength to speak, and it took a long time to help Tingyin up from the ground.

When I woke up, I felt weak all over my body, and I coughed violently from the smoke. The smoke was so big that Gu Xiaonuan and Tingyin couldn't breathe at all, and if it continued like this, both of them would suffocate.

Covering her mouth and nose, gritting her teeth, Gu Xiaonuan helped Tingyin up, almost moving her steps, she supported Tingyin and moved outside. She wanted to stride over, but her heart was not enough, and her feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she didn't step out at all.

The fire burned so violently that almost the entire hall was burned, and I don't know what was burned and exploded, and from time to time something burning with clusters of flames fell from the side.

Gu Xiaonuan almost used all his strength to avoid it. I didn't have any strength to listen to the sound, and I relied on Gu Xiaonuan's support.

Looking back, there were flames all around him, and the fire spread so fast that it was as if the room had been poured oil, and as long as the flames flown up and touched the place, it would burn instantly.

In the embarrassment of the escape, I only felt a hot pain in my back, and I didn't know if it was burned by the flames, or if the temperature here was too high and it was scorched. But she didn't care about this now, just took the hearing under her and pulled her towards the door. The most important thing now is to run for her life, she has no time to think about anything else.

It took a lot of effort for Gu Xiaonuan to walk to the door with the sound in his arms, but when he pushed the door, he found that the door was locked from the inside and couldn't be pushed open at all.

The firelight reflected the panicked faces of the two people, and Gu Xiaonuan seemed to suddenly understand why she was so weak.

It turns out that someone wants to die by themselves, this is a long time ago, incense, locks, fire.

Not only was there a fire inside the main hall, but there was also a raging fire outside the main hall, and even if people from outside wanted to enter, they had to extinguish the fire outside before they could enter.

This midnight fire woke up the entire palace, including the Liwang.
