Cining Palace is on fire.

Billowing smoke hung in the air, and black-red tongues of fire spread wantonly among the carved beams and paintings.

Many guards and eunuchs fetched water to extinguish the fire, and it was noisy.

Zhao Jinghuan ran all the way and soon arrived at Cining Palace, and Gonggong He hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Your Highness, the rough mother-in-law and eunuch of Cining Palace were burned to death in the palace, and the Queen Mother, Aunt Cheng and the three personal palace maids did not know where to go, and nine times out of ten they escaped from the secret room. ”

In fact, Emperor Xianqing had long known that Cining Palace had a secret room.

But for some reason, he chose to hold back, in the final analysis, Emperor Xianqing still had a little bit of patience for Empress Dowager Xiao......

Zhao Jinghuan bowed slightly and asked, "Where is my father?" ”

"After the emperor learned the news, he just ordered someone to put out the fire, and he didn't say anything." Gonggong He replied respectfully, Zhao Jinghuan strode into Cining Palace, and Gonggong He quickly followed: "Your Highness, I can't help it, let's wait for the fire to be extinguished before you go in!" ”

"It's okay, just go in and have a look." Zhao Jinghuan stood in the courtyard, carefully observed the fire, and walked into the Zhiluo Palace, Gonggong He hurriedly glanced at the two guards beside him, "Why don't you hurry up and protect His Royal Highness King Jing." ”

The two guards followed.

Zhiluo Hall burned the most seriously, and it was also the first place to be extinguished, everywhere was wet, it was very messy, Zhao Jinghuan came out of Zhiluo Hall and went to the main hall, back and forth a few times, until the fire was all extinguished, and then went to the imperial study.

Emperor Xianqing criticized the folds without raising his head, and asked, "The fire has been extinguished?" ”

"Back to my father, it's okay." Zhao Jinghuan sat down to himself and asked, "Father Emperor already knows about the secret room of Cining Palace?" ”

"Yes, I already knew." Emperor Xianqing put down the pen in his hand, looked at Zhao Jinghuan, and frowned, "But I still let them run, it can be seen that the palace is still not defensive." ”

"If it weren't for my father's deliberate actions, I guess they wouldn't have been able to escape." Zhao Jinghuan stabbed and said, "My father's methods are clever, and my sons will not get an axe." ”

"Presumptuous, do you mean that the fire in Cining Palace is also not allowed to be released?" Emperor Xianqing glared at him, and said with a straight face, "Jing Huan, I ordered someone to take someone to Bingzhou to chase them back, are you willing?" ”

"Erchen takes orders!" Of course, Zhao Jinghuan would not refuse, and said with a smile, "Father, the son is ashamed, he fell for Cining Palace's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and I hope that my father will forgive my sins." ”

If it weren't for that Dong'er getting in the way, he wouldn't have sent Rong Jiu to Nanzhili.

Mistakes, mistakes!

"The Shaw family is scheming, and it is inevitable that he will not be overlooked for a while." Emperor Xianqing understood, "It is much better to annihilate the enemy outside the soil than to lure the wolf into the house, the area around the horse farm outside the city is the most suitable for ambush defense, I know that you are short of manpower, so I will first secondment the 3,000 cavalry battalion on the horse farm to you, you go and arrange it!" ”

Bingzhou was the base of the King of Qin and the stronghold of the Queen Mother.

This time, the defeat of King Qin was to retreat to the state, and the queen mother also knew that the matter was exposed, and it was difficult to gain a foothold in the palace, so she made this decision, burned Cining Palace, and escaped from the secret passage.

"Father, rest assured, no matter how many people there are, King Qin will not be reasonable." Zhao Jinghuan got up and said, "As long as you delay them for a few more days, they will be defeated." ”

Even if the king of Qin used the annexation of states as a base to attack the capital, he was not afraid.

Chu Yunzhao will return to Beijing in a few days, and when the time comes, he will just come to a two-sided attack and take it down.

"Go ahead!" Emperor Xianqing waved his hand at him, Zhao Jinghuan turned around and left, and after walking a few steps, Emperor Xianqing asked again: "How is your house?" How is the princess? ”

"There is nothing big in the house, and the princess is fine." Speaking of Xie Jinyi, Zhao Jinghuan's face softened, and he turned around and said, "Father, the princess is about to give birth in more than two months, and she has suffered a lot of grievances these days, and her son is sorry for her." ”

"You tell her, let her wait for labor with peace of mind, these things are not a problem!" Emperor Xianqing understood, and said in a deep voice, "Although you can go out of the city with peace of mind, I will send someone to protect your palace." ”

"Thank you, Father." Zhao Jinghuan walked out of the imperial study with ease, explained a few words to Gonggong He, and led people straight to the racecourse.

Xie Jinyi slept very sweetly, and when he woke up, it was almost dark.

Seeing that she was still sleeping in the bedroom of Canglan Courtyard, she was a little stunned, shouldn't she sleep in the secret room?

Suddenly remembering that Zhao Jinghuan was back, he was excited in his heart, and got up and asked Ziyu: "Ziyu, where is Your Highness?" ”

"The princess is awake, she has been asleep for more than two hours!" Ziyu stepped forward to raise the curtain and said with a smile, "Just now, Father-in-law He came to spread the word, saying that His Highness has gone to the racecourse and will not come back tonight, so don't worry about the princess." ”

"Oh, it's going to the horse farm." Xie Jinyi was faintly disappointed.

Fortunately, the horse farm is on the outskirts of Beijing.

It's quite close to the capital, and he said that he will be back soon.

"Auntie, there are a lot of officers and soldiers outside, and we are surrounded again." Zhao Yu hurriedly broke in, looking anxious and said, "Do we want to go to the secret room?" There are so many of them! ”

"No......" Xie Jinyi was shocked, got up and walked out, Zhao Jinghuan is back, who has the courage to come to besiege King Jing's Mansion again, Ziyu hurriedly stepped forward to support Xie Jinyi, "Don't worry, princess, go out and have a look." ”

As soon as the two of them went out, they saw Zhao Wuye hurriedly coming over, clasped his fists and said, "The princess doesn't need to panic, she is the person sent by the emperor to protect us." ”

Xie Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, you kid is an anxious child, I didn't understand what was going on, so I came to alarm your aunt." Rong Wanrou also followed, and said, "Brother and sister, don't worry, this time it's not from the Qin Palace, it's my cousin who brought someone here, he said that His Royal Highness has been out of the city for a few days and will be back soon." ”

After eating, when the two of them met for a walk in the courtyard, Rong Wanrou told Xie Jinyi about the fire in Cining Palace: "I heard that the mother-in-law and eunuchs in the palace were burned to death, and the Queen Mother and Aunt Cheng did not know where to go, not many people knew about this matter, my cousin quietly heard about it, and everyone else knew that there was a fire in the palace, and they didn't know the details." ”

The night breeze is thin, and the summer cicadas hiss.

There was still a faint smell of burnt fire in the four places, and no one was an outsider in this war.

"I guess they took advantage of the chaos to escape." Xie Jinyi held his waist and slowly walked beside Rong Wanrou, "King Qin was defeated, and the Queen Mother herself could not protect herself to make this decision." ”

I have to say that the Queen Mother is really scheming.

In order to save her life, it can be regarded as a lot of brains, but where can she escape?

Nan Zhili?

"By the way, my cousin also said that the queen was confined in Kunning Palace, washing her face with tears day and night, and she was already sick!" Rong Wanrou sighed, and said, "I knew why I had to do it today, the queen was also confused!" ”

In this way, the relationship between the emperor and the queen is completely broken.

It is only a matter of time before it is abolished.

As soon as Xie Jinyi wanted to say something, he saw Zhao Wuye hurriedly coming over again: "Princess, the young lady of the Xiao family asks to see you, ...... look?"

"So late?" Rong Wanrou looked at Xie Jinyi.

"Let her in!" Xie Jinyi felt that it would be okay to see him.
