Chapter 413: Inch by inch
Everyone's eyes were attracted by Gan Peilin.
At this time, King Huiqing took the opportunity to snatch the torches of the guards and threw them towards the firewood stack through gritted teeth.
With a bang, the kerosene met the flames and ignited at one point. The flames jumped high, and the pupils were instantly red.
The scene suddenly fell into chaos, the escort of the escort, the addition of firewood.
Bao Que hurriedly summoned people to help the Queen Mother to leave first, and the guards surrounded the new emperor to accompany him.
The courtiers who stayed in place either hid the fire, or left with the new monarch and the queen mother in their arms, and only those who really cared about Gan Peilin were eager to extinguish the fire and save Gan Peilin.
"Peilin ......" Xu Baisen struggled to squeeze forward, and this time it was Su Qizhe who stopped him.
"What are you doing...... Xu Baisen yelled at him angrily.
"It's not your turn." Su Qizhe gave a look: "Look." ”
Jiang Yu had already jumped up in the air, stepped on everyone's shoulders, and quickly climbed onto the wooden platform.
The flames burned through his robes, and before he knew it, his eyes were only on the woman who was bound.
Gan Peilin watched Jiang Yu desperately run towards him, and his heart was full of guilt. At the critical moment, Jiang Yu was still thinking about how to save her, instead of thinking about what she had done......
The dagger cut the rope, and Jiang Yu covered her mouth and nose with a roll.
"Jiang Yu, if you dare to mess around, this king will deal with you on the charge of rebellion. Don't forget, this king is now the Prince Regent, in charge of the government. "King Huiqing did not relent, and had already prepared archers against the two people on the fire platform.
"You dare." King Yeqing's men were armed with long swords against the necks of archers. "The Empress Dowager didn't order the fire, you made your own decisions. King Huiqing, it is not only you who supports the new monarch together, but also Jiang Xiang and this king. You want to accuse Jiang Xiang of rebellion, but this king will not agree. ”
"King Yeqing, don't forget that you are also a royal family." King Huiqing gritted his teeth and said, "Against the clan, you won't get any benefits." ”
What they were arguing about, Gan Peilin couldn't hear it at all.
Jiang Yu's hand was just like this to protect his waist.
Gan Peilin dodged the raging flames as he did, and the sound of crackling fire was in his ears, the scorching sensation, from his skin to his heart.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Jiang Yu protected her head, looked for Confucius, and was about to jump off the fire platform at the moment.
A cold arrow came unexpectedly.
The fire was fierce, and he could only leave the safest position to Gan Peilin.
Caught the arrow with his left shoulder.
His body jerked forward, and Gan Peilin's cheek hit his chest.
That feeling made her feel creepy in an instant: "Jiang Yu, are you injured?" ”
"It's fine." Jiang Yu looked at her with heavy eyes, and the two of them took advantage of the situation to fly down.
Gan Peilin held his hand and kept carefully rubbing it back and forth behind his back.
Near her shoulder, she felt a long arrow.
There was another thunderclap, and the sky grew darker and darker.
The dispute between King Huiqing and King Yeqing did not stop, but the wind became stronger and stronger, and the fire spread towards the Golden Palace.
"Not good." Xu Zhongshen roared coldly: "The direction of the wind has changed, if you don't hurry up to extinguish the fire, it will be too late to affect the main hall." ”
"Oh no......" King Huiqing realized that the fire was wrong, and called people tightly: "Everyone has fled, what else is burning, hurry up and extinguish the fire!" ”
After this sound, the inside and outside of the hall can be lively. The palace people ran back and forth, carrying heavy wooden barrels, and they didn't know if they could use it.
Su Qizhe avoided the crowd at this time and walked around behind the wooden pillars of the Golden Palace: "You two, are you okay?" ”
Gan Peilin shook his head slightly, but he kept observing Jiang Yu's wounds.
"I suspect that the arrow is poisonous." She frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
"It's fine." Jiang Yu was very calm, and his eyes kept paying attention to the people on the scene.
Where did that cold arrow come from? It's not like King Huiqing did it.
"Oh no, the Queen Mother is not good, come on, go and pass on the imperial doctor......"
The voice of the inner sanctuary, the inner chamberlain, seemed a little pale and weak in such confusion.
But Gan Peilin still heard it clearly, she frowned, and her heart tightened slightly.
One thought can make the Queen Mother disappear forever. The wolf venom Ruixiang that her mother gave her may be destined for today.
From Jiang Yu's waist, she touched Fang Cai's dagger, and her brows didn't wrinkle and cut her palm.
"What are you doing?" Su Qi Zhe was surprised that no.
Gan Peilin smeared his blood on Jiang Yu's lips: "Whether it's useful or not, take it first." Lu Yao, hurry up and find Qian Yun......"
Lu Yao nodded, he couldn't care about anything else at this time.
Jiang Yu's face went from innocent to black, and it was only a matter of a moment.
Gan Peilin's heart has been trembling, she is really scared, the wish to be fulfilled for him has not been fulfilled, and she can't keep him. "You must not be fine."
Jiang Yu looked at her gently, but he was also calm.
At this time, the rain fell sharply, and the rain quickly extinguished the fire.
Thick smoke poured into the Golden Temple with the fierce wind, and the choking people couldn't open their eyes.
At this time, Wu Di entered the main hall while everyone was not paying attention.
And Qian Yun also hurried over, just behind the wooden pillar to heal Jiang Yu's injuries.
Gan Peilin originally wanted to guard Jiang Yu motionlessly, but remembering that his grandfather was still there, he got up and went over.
Xu Zhongshen stood in front of the hall, facing the fire platform, motionless looking at the blackened and smoking wooden frame, with mixed feelings.
"Grandfather, you shouldn't have come to ......" Gan Peilin only said this sentence and choked up.
"It's been so many years...... Xu Zhongshen's eyes were cloudy: "I thought this was the best shelter for the Xu family, but ...... I was wrong. ”
"Father." Xu Jingxian was busy and relieved: "Now that Peilin is fine, this matter may not have a turnaround, you must not be overly sad......"
"Parson." Xu Zhongshen gritted his teeth and asked: "You have already suffered a loss and almost took your life, grandfather asked you, if you have another chance to wear armor and hold a long sword, are you willing to go to the battlefield and sacrifice your life for the country?" ”
Xu Baisen nodded without hesitation: "Baisen is willing." ”
"Very good." Xu Zhongshen slapped him on the shoulder and pressed it hard: "Take the west and take back the frontier peace." My Xu family will no longer be a turtle with a shrunken head. No matter which king on this golden palace is, the Xu family will be a hot-blooded soldier with a long sword in his hand to protect his family and country. ”
This last sentence is intriguing.
Gan Peilin vaguely felt that he meant something else. But before she could ask, her grandfather suddenly collapsed.
Maternal grandfather ......
"Grandfather ......"
"Father's ......"
Everyone present panicked and went to look at him.
The raindrops didn't feel people's concern at all, and they smashed down densely, not picking a place.
The chaos came to an abrupt end after an hour.
The ruins of the fire platform were quickly cleaned up by the inner chamberlain, and the golden hall opened all the doors and windows, but still left a scorched smell.
Xu Zhongshen was sent back to Xu's house.
Jiang Yu was in a coma due to poisoning.
The officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stranded in the palace because of the heavy rain, and they were called thinking about the Queen Mother and did not dare to leave without permission.
Gan Peilin didn't leave, not only did he not leave, but he also stood not far from King Huiqing.
King Huiqing gritted his teeth, eager to strangle her to death by himself.
Until Wu Di rushed out of the golden palace and frowned: "Mrs. Prime Minister, the Queen Mother invites you to enter the palace." ”
Su Qizhe was afraid of any calculation, so he frowned and said: "The Queen Mother wants to see the Prime Minister's wife, how can you let the Wu Court judge her?" ”
Wu Di didn't have the time to deal with him, but after all, he was a diligent king, so he could only say quickly: "Naturally, there is something important, madam, please." ”
"I'll go in with you." Su Qizhe was a little worried.
"Don't bother His Royal Highness." Gan Peilin was calm and calm, and followed Wu Li into the inner hall.
Wen Xinlan's hands flipped over, her palms facing upwards unnaturally, hanging stiffly.
Seeing Gan Peilin come in, she felt very uncomfortable.
Gan Peilin's face was blackened several times, his body was wet and dripping with water, and his dress was also torn by the fire.
Obviously embarrassed, but she has no awe. The eyes that looked at him were as clear as ever. Even if you don't even notice it on guard and on guard.
"You're really fateful." Wen Xinlan's eyes were slightly cold: "It took so much effort, but I still couldn't send you away." ”
"Is that what the Queen Mother wants to say?" Gan Peilin asked knowingly.
"Hmph." Wen Xinlan didn't say much, and directly asked Baoque to present something.
Bao Que handed the thing to Gan Peilin, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but feel a little proud.
This thing......
It was the sachet she gave to Qing Ning. At that time, she and Qingning were still very good little sisters, close to each other.
"Take it apart and take a look." Wen Xinlan saw that she was stunned, so she had to say more.
Gan Peilin took the sachet and opened it to see that it was actually a piece of royal jade butterfly.
"It's ......"
"The mourning family already knows Qingning's personal flesh and blood." Wen Xinlan's eyes rolled slightly, and said, "But his fate is now in your hands." ”
"What does the Queen Mother mean......" Gan Peilin looked at her suspiciously.
"Heal the mourners, and he will live. Otherwise, the mourning family will go on the road and pull him on as a back. Wen Xinlan said these words directly, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.
"Isn't it too funny for the Queen Mother to use other people's children to blackmail me?" Gan Peilin couldn't cry or laugh.
"I know you're soft-hearted." The corners of Wen Xinlan's lips turned up: "What's more, what you owe Qing Ning, she is already dead, do you want his child to not see the sun tomorrow morning?" ”
"Poison, I didn't give it to you." Gan Peilin gently hooked his lips: "I'm afraid it's a good masterpiece of the Queen Mother." ”
"The wolf venom has greatly changed the medicinal properties of the Mantuo monk, and the court sentence is helpless, otherwise do you think the mourning family will let you live?" Wen Xinlan's face was full of anger, and she looked at Gan Peilin with her eyes: "I know what you're thinking?" Gan Peilin, this time the mourning family can't kill you, and you can't beat the mourning family, there is still a long time between you and me, torturing each other! ”
"I can't save the Queen Mother, they are all sinners." Gan Peilin deliberately said: "Unless the Queen Mother can erase the matter of Concubine Yun and let my father out of prison." Otherwise, I will only go down to Jiuquan and ask Princess Qingning for sin. ”
"You don't have to take an inch." Wen Xinlan was furious and said, "Gan Peilin, I saved you anyway." ”
