Zhongli quickly clad his things and rushed outside.

And the emperor and they were already blocked inside the door at this time, unable to get out.

There was a raging fire in front, and there were assassins in the back.

The emperor didn't expect them to be able to take risks and do this with the mentality of dying with him.

He originally thought that he could use this assassin to wipe out the Qingyang King he feared, but who knows, the mutation has risen sharply.

"What are you doing? Take me out! You idiots! ”

The emperor looked at the ministers around him, and couldn't help but stretch out his feet and kick them out one by one.

In the past, they could do a good job of fighting in the court, but now they are as stupid as pigs.

Moreover, the smoke is getting bigger and bigger, and the handkerchief in his hand is no longer very effective!

The Emperor felt a burning pain in his throat.

"Get down! Don't get up, there's a lot of smoke up there! Get down! ”

Zhao Zijian listened to Zhongli's voice coming from afar, and didn't know what was going on, in such a situation of yellow lipramide, there was a faint peace of mind in his heart.

It seems that with her, everything is not a problem.

"Your Majesty, the fourth prince, come here, the grass people will take the two out first, and then ...... after they go out."

Zhongli rushed over with her waist, she draped the wet thing over her body, covered her mouth with one hand, and waved at the emperor with the other.

The Emperor looked at Zhongli suspiciously.

And Zhao Zijian also knew that this might be an opportunity for himself, so he quickly opened his mouth to the emperor.

"Father, Zhongli has a different wisdom from others."

The emperor only hesitated for a moment, being protected by Zhongli's things, and then listened to Zhongli speak slowly.

"I said one, two, three, let's rush out of here together, close our eyes, there's nothing to be afraid of in the fire below. Now the fire is not big, if you don't leave, you will die! ”

Neither of them spoke, allowing Zhongli to rush out with them.

Outside, all the guards and palace maids and eunuchs were preparing to put out the fire, but this kind of water was only a drop in the bucket for such a gasoline fire.

Zhongli stared at them with some anxiety and stomped his feet.

"One group of people gets water, and another group of people shovel soil for me, quick, sprinkle the soil on it, and pour it with water."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, he had never seen such a firefight, but, for Zhongli's sake of saving himself, he covered his chest and coughed fiercely twice, and quickly explained to the people below.

Zhongli was relieved at this time, and continued to drape the things on his body, carrying a bucket from the hand of the palace maid next to him, and pouring all the water on himself.

The cold of the deep winter made her lips purple, but Zhongli didn't regret it.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Zijian and Zhao Shan'er rushed towards Zhongli at the same time.

"What are you doing? The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and there will be danger. ”

Just now, several bold officials have rushed out.

But Zhao Yiyan has been missing for a long time, how can Zhongli not be worried? He shook his head solemnly at Zhao Zijian and the others.

"No, you have to fight for it, don't you? I can still be rescued now, I can. ”

He stretched out his hand and pushed Zhao Zijian's hand away, turned around and rushed into the fire quickly.

It's just that the situation is a few points worse than Zhongli imagined.

Black smoke billowed inside, and I couldn't see the original situation anymore, so I could only grope with my memory.

"Zhao Yiyan, where are you, Zhao Yiyan? Is it okay to answer? Zhao Yiyan? ”

It's just that he touched all the way, but the people he saw turned out to be all these ministers of the emperor, Zhongli kindly tore his clothes and changed them with a veil, and then pointed out the direction.

"The northwest corner, go there, the fire is relatively small. Remember, you must not get up. ”

Eighty percent of those who died in the fire were not burned to death, but choked to death.

Zhongli finally found Zhao Yiyan and the crown prince, but they were already lying on the ground full of wounds, struggling to breathe.

He guessed that the father-in-law might want to use this method to get Zhao Yiyan out of the emperor's anger, but if he didn't come in and bring people, they would probably really die!

Zhongli didn't have time to think too much, she even dragged the person to the door, but the fire at the door was obviously too big to cross.

Zhongli had no choice but to turn his heart sideways, pulled the things hanging on his body down, and then carried His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his back, bent down and spread the things he had just draped on his body on the front threshold, carrying the prince on his back, pulling Zhao Yiyan, and finally leaving the main hall.

When they saw Zhongli come out, a group of people outside immediately cheered.

It's just that after seeing the wounds on the prince's face burned by the fire, they looked at the emperor next to him one by one.

In fact, the emperor had already had murderous intent when the crown prince was standing beside those people, but the later shocking changes caught him a little off guard.

"Zhongli, are you alright? Why are you so stupid? If you're not careful, you'll die. ”

Zhao Shan'er looked at Zhongli with red eyes, reached out and tugged at her clothes, and opened her mouth with tears in her eyes.

Zhongli, on the other hand, glanced at her, glanced at the bright yellow figure in the distance, lowered his voice and spoke quickly.

"Seventh Princess, now you should stay by the emperor's side. The grass people know that Concubine Qi's death is very mindful. But the world is not as rosy as you think. Without the emperor's favor, you are nothing! Concubine Qi Niangniang deliberately got up, she used her life to pave a golden avenue for you, don't live up to Concubine Qi's kindness. ”

The seventh princess's body was stiff and teary-eyed.

Thinking of the figure when her father and the emperor held her mother as a shield, her tears fell down her cheeks, but it was only for a moment, she glanced at Zhongli deeply, and walked quickly towards the emperor over there.

After that, I heard the howling of the seventh princess.

"Father, the mother is gone, Shan'er, Shan'er is the only one left! You can't be fine! ”

Zhongli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

People can't never grow up, although people like Zhao Shan'er who grew up overnight may be painful, but, at least, they should know what they want and what they strive for, right?

It's just that when Zhong Li was pleased, he suddenly came into contact with Zhao Zijian's slightly meaningful eyes.

Zhongli curled the corners of his lips and slowly approached Zhao Zijian, his gaze slid to the imperial doctor who was treating Zhao Yiyan's wounds.

"Fourth prince, congratulations in advance! Remember what you told me? Now, the crown prince is disfigured, the second prince is overwhelmed, the third prince has injured his hand and is lame, and the oldest person is left with you. ”

Today should be a day that is remembered by Zhao Zijian.

Because he gained the most, all his competitors were wiped out at once today.

Zhao Zijian still didn't speak.

Zhongli, on the other hand, hooked the corners of his lips, glanced at him with a strange gaze, and then glanced at the bright yellow figure in the distance.

"Perhaps, the fourth prince should also think about how to explain to the emperor. Because the biggest beneficiary today is you. ”

Zhao Zijian had already thought of this, especially that even the emperor had a handful of fever in his hair, but he was unharmed.

"This king is not afraid of shadows."

Zhongli hooked the corners of his lips, shook his head with a chuckle, and slowly approached him.

"Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious, and our one is even more unfathomable. Moreover, the grass people concluded that after this incident, the emperor's already bad health would be even worse, and the worse his health was, the more defensive he would be against outsiders, and the more greedy he would be for power. Fourth Prince, you are in danger! ”

After the words were finished, Zhongli left here without hesitation to see Zhao Yiyan's wounds.

It didn't take long for the fire to be extinguished, and a storm quietly subsided.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, looked at Zhongli and the others in front of him with a sinking face, squinted his eyes and slowly spoke.

"For this accident, I would like to commend Zhongli for his loyalty. Tell me, 'How will I reward her?' ”

And the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs had experienced the previous incident, and he had long been grateful to Zhong Li, thinking of their colleagues who were burned to death by the fire, they were somewhat glad in their hearts, if it weren't for Zhong Li, they might not have survived.

But there are no rules.

There should be a reward, otherwise who will take the risk to save the driver in the future?

"The minister thinks that gold and silver are enough."

"The minister thinks that Zhongli has made a meritorious contribution to saving the driver, and he can be rewarded with an unhereditary title."

……

After talking nonsense, the emperor turned his gaze to Zhongli, who was standing next to him with his eyes down, his eyes and nose, and his nose and heart as a backdrop.

"Zhongli, speak for yourself."

Zhongli grimaced, walked to the middle, and knelt down for the emperor with a plop.

"If the emperor is really willing to praise Zhongli, please forgive King Qingyang."

Many ministers couldn't help but gasp.

Almost all of them are the most popular people left, and they know more about what happened, Zhao Yiyan committed it, but it was a capital crime!

They couldn't help but look at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and sure enough, the emperor's face was cold at this time, and his eyes were frosty.

"Zhongli, don't you think that I will definitely not do you?"

Since Zhongli's words have come out, he naturally won't be hypocritical anymore.

Even though he hated kowtowing, he didn't hesitate to kneel on the ground and kowtow a few times.

"The grass people are stupid. But King Qingyang is the righteous brother of the grass people, and he has the grace to save his life for the grass people, and the grass people can't do it without asking, which is unkind and unjust. And when the incident happened, although King Qingyang implored the emperor to re-investigate the matter of General Shen, it was also because he had an old relationship with General Shen. But he still did not forget to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, for many years he was stationed in the border city, resisting enemy attacks again and again, and this time in order to protect the emperor and the prince, he did not hesitate to stay in the end and deal with people, and even almost fell into a different place. Therefore, the grass people dare to ask, and the merits of the king of Qingyang are offset! ”

Zhongli bowed to the ground again, never getting up.

The entire study was silent, and only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
