The fire was rolling and half the sky was red.

The smoke cleared, the chickens and dogs barked, and the whole city was awakened, and the people looked in fear or amazement in the direction of the fire.

That's the palace, the palace where the saint lives, and I don't know which palace is on fire......

And everyone in the palace at this moment knows that it was the holy palace that burned.

In the middle of the night, no one saw the fire or heard the cries for help when the fire first started, and when they noticed, the fire could not be saved.

Sun Qi rushed outside the palace with only his middle clothes, his cape, and his bare feet, crying loudly: "Father! Father! ”

He had no idea that overnight, things would turn out like this.

In the middle of the night, Sun Qi didn't know about Jia Gui's two visits to the palace, only that Sun Rui had gone to the Shengshang Palace.

The night was too thick, and the group of people did not carry lanterns, and the people who were staring at the message did not dare to get too close, and across half of the courtyard, they only saw Sun Rui and the Imperial Forest Army.

The royal forest surrounded Sun Rui, and the news was reported to Sun Qi here, and he was his father who knew that his time was running out, and he wanted to see Sun Rui again.

According to Sun Qi's opinion, even if the saint's favorite is Sun Zhen, he didn't give Yu Guifei half a chance to defend himself before giving him death, but after all, the saint has spoiled Yu Guifei for so many years, and he has also been good to Sun Rui for so many years.

's own son, it's not that he hasn't raised it for a day since he was a child, and then he has a favorite, and in the end he still has a love.

People are dying, and it is normal for people to think about it and take a look at it again.

Emotionally, summoned in the middle of the night, I saw it, and this father-son relationship was over.

Take 10,000 steps back, it is impossible for the saint to give the throne to Sun Rui, the scourge of witches in Jingyang Palace is only half a year, and he will be "rehabilitated" at this time, isn't he slapping himself in the face?

The saint is very face-heavy, and he will never be like this.

Therefore, Sun Qi did not go to his heart.

Besides, even if Sun Rui coaxed the sick saint to get the holy decree, Sun Qi was not afraid of him.

He has been a gun so many times, this time he has to be a yellow sparrow, and he will strike later.

Sun Qi woke up, pretending to be asleep in his palace, waiting for the opportunity to flap his wings and appear on the stage, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was a fire.

There is a pond in the garden of the Jiangnan Palace, and a group of attendants are running back and forth with buckets, but it is still ineffective.

Sun Luo and Sun Xuan also arrived, and soon, Queen Xie, Liu Jieyu and several other mothers arrived with a disgraced face.

Empress Xie grabbed a chamberlain and asked anxiously, "How did it burn?" ”

"I don't know!" The chamberlain replied in a trembling voice.

Empress Xie asked again: "Apart from the Holy Lord and the Third Highness, who else is inside?" ”

The chamberlain still doesn't know, at most he knows that Gonggong Han hasn't shown up so far, probably because he is serving in front of the palace and has not come out.

Sun Qi was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Niangniang, the most important thing is the father!" Father! ”

How could Empress Xie not know that the Holy One was important.

With the holy body, if he didn't move out when the fire started, he will definitely not be able to save it at this time.

Although, the situation of the Holy Lord these days looks extremely bad, but in the midst of a fire, it is not a thing!

Liu Jieyu didn't know what mood she was in at this time, she couldn't tell the difference at all, so she had to take care of Sun Qi: "On a cold day, how can you look like this?" Hurry up and wrap yourself tightly, if you are sick, won't it be even more chaotic! ”

Sun Luo was also untidy, but better than the barefoot Sun Qi, he glanced at Sun Miao, who was being supported over, and stepped forward and said, "Second brother, go back, you still have a wound on your head." ”

Sun Miao looked at him, shook his head, and did not speak.

Sun Luo reacted at this time, gestured with both hands, and motioned for Sun Miao to rest.

"Don't worry about me," Sun Miao seemed to understand, "I'm fine, you can put out the fire first." ”

More and more buckets and basins were sent over, and Sun Qi stopped Liu Jieyu, only put on a pair of boots, and ran to the pool with the bucket.

He didn't feel cold, such a big fire was burning in front of him, the heat wave was rolling, and he was so anxious that his body was sluggish, and his brain was sluggish, and he only knew that he couldn't let the fire burn like this.

The ministers who live outside the palace can only wait at the palace gate if they can't get to the palace on weekdays, and those who can enter and leave the imperial study are bored and rush inside.

Liu Shangshu is very old, and he is out of breath when he walks, holding on to the palace wall and panting.

The young official who had been friends passed by him, paused to look at him, Liu Shangshu couldn't speak, just waved his hand vigorously, urging the other party to hurry.

He slowed down several times along the way before finally reaching the front of the dormitory.

Looking at the fire from a close distance, he became more and more frightened, Liu Shangshu just wanted to say something, only to hear a bang, and the main hall collapsed.

Exclamations rang out, black smoke blinded his eyes, and when he saw it clearly, the palace room in the flames was no longer the same as before.

Sun Qi sat down on the ground, two buckets of water were poured on the side, and he wailed.

Several concubines and princesses also sobbed, knelt on the ground one by one, and wailed "Holy Lord" and "Father".

Liu Shangshu staggered, if it weren't for Lin Shangshu beside him, he almost fell to the ground, he trembled, his eyes were tearful: "This mountain, in the end, still collapsed......"

He entered the court as an official during the first emperor's reign, and after ascending the throne in the saint, he rose to the position of Shangshu step by step.

The saint is gone, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the new emperor ascends the throne, he is the patriarch of the three dynasties.

But he didn't want to be the patriarch of the Three Dynasties at all!

Now there are a lot of troubles in the field and outside, and the inside is uneven, and the top and bottom are chaotic......

Or a change of dynasty that I don't know if it was an accident or a man-made fire......

Can this have the peace of mind of the common people?

Liu Shangshu looked at Sun Qi, who was kneeling and crying bitterly, and secretly shook his head in his heart, can His Royal Highness really afford this country?

If it was when the country and the people were safe, the saint died of old age and illness, and it was passed into the hands of His Royal Highness, and their old ministers still had some confidence to lead His Highness away, but now it is different, and the situation of the government and the opposition is completely different!

But who is it not His Highness?

The remaining older highnesses, to say a word of disrespect, are all half a catty and eight taels, and there are two of them who don't want to be emperors.

I can only hold on to His Highness and go down.

The mountain collapsed, and they, the old ministers, should be thinking about the aftermath of the saint and asking the new monarch to return to the Jingden Jinluan Palace.

The fire was not extinguished until dawn, and only when the collapsed building was no longer hot did the people begin to sort out and search for the body of the saint.

The first thing they looked for was naturally the location of the dragon bed in the inner sanctum.

This place has been burned beyond recognition, but the most puzzling thing is that a pile of corpses has been found in the inner hall, among which there are more than a dozen people stacked on top of each other and making it difficult to start.

It's hard to tell who's who.

After that, a pile of corpses was sorted out on the other side of the main hall, so many that it made people's scalps tingle.

A bold imperial doctor approached, and pulled out the unburned metal waist plate from these two piles, the Chinese military governor's mansion and the imperial forest army.

With such a large number of people gathered here, the guards and chamberlains guarding the dormitory had no warning of the fire, and it was conceivable that last night was a "palace change", but no one survived, and no one knew the process.
