Chapter 289: The Pain of Losing a Child

told Zhiyue not to alarm Xiao and the Empress Dowager, Lingxi hurried back to Yongle Palace with lotus leaves, and Xiao Dezi was tightly left behind by the two.

At this time, the fire in the Lingyan Hall had already reflected half of the sky, and the choking smoke kept rolling over the palace, covering the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

Before Lingxi stepped into the palace gate of Yongle Palace, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him.

The scorching heat seemed to be wrapped in tongues of fire, as if it were about to burn everything it swept into the fire.

In the direction of the Lingyan Palace, the voices of people were boiling, and the little eunuchs carried the buckets in their hands and went back and forth between the pond in the small garden of Yongle Palace and the Lingyan Palace.

Lingxi let go of the lotus leaf's hand and ran to the front in a few steps, looking at the flames above the Lingyan Hall that were as high as three zhang.

Lotus Ye caught up, wiped away the tears on Lingxi's face with the brocade handkerchief in his hand, and comforted, "Niangniang, don't worry, such a fire will not burn in a while." The five princesses and the five princes must have run out a long time ago. ”

Lingxi took the handkerchief in the lotus leaf's hand, wiped the tears on his face indiscriminately, and said calmly, "It's okay, it must be okay." I only brought you to the Yongshou Palace, Qiaozhu, Xiaoyingzi and Xiaoyingzi are all in the Lingyan Palace, even if the fire is urgent, they will definitely be able to bring the five princesses and the five princes out. Little Dezi! ”

Lingxi turned his head and said to Xiao Dezi, who was bending over and standing in front of him and kept gasping, "When did the Lingyan Hall catch fire, what about the others, the five princesses and the five princes?" ”

Xiao Dezi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, knelt down with a puff, and said very quickly, "If you go back to your mother, the slave should die!" This is a slave who is on duty at night, but when the time is near, the slave only feels a black shadow flashing, and he doesn't know anything when his neck hurts. By the time the servant woke up from the pain in his legs, the Spirit Research Hall was already in flames......"

Listening to Xiao Dezi's words, Lingxi noticed that Xiao Dezi's robe had traces of being burned by fire, and his right leg couldn't stop trembling, and the burnt flesh was still bleeding out......

"Someone set fire!" Lingxi's body trembled with anger, "Someone set fire to my Spirit Research Hall!" ”

Xiao Dezi didn't answer Lingxi's words, and continued, "When the slave woke up, there was already a fire in the east and west side halls. The slave ran into the east side hall and saw the two nurses and Xia Qing fainting to the ground, and the five princes had disappeared. The slave kicked a few of them awake and went to the west side hall, but the west side hall has been sealed by fire, at this time Xiao Yingzi came, he rushed to the fire to find the fifth princess, but Xiao Yingzi just entered, and the west side hall was smashed down...... "Xiao Dezi raised the sleeve that was burned by the fire and covered his face and choked up, and only after his emotions calmed down did he continue, "The slave found Qiaozhu and Hanyan Hanyu, and the three of them were also looking for the fifth princess and the fifth prince everywhere, and the slave ran to deliver a letter to Niangniang......"

Hearing that the west side hall was burned to the ground, Lingxi was already paralyzed to the ground. His fingers grabbed the tender grass on both sides of the road, and Lingxi's eyes were blood-red by the fire, "Who the hell, who is it that insists on the lives of my children!" ”

Lingxi's question, no one answered.

With a 'boom', the east chamber of the Lingyan Hall was engulfed in flames......

When Emperor Yong'an heard the news and rushed over, the Lingyan Hall had no value to save again. All the palace people could do was to prevent the fire from spreading to other buildings.

Lingxi sat in front of the courtyard of the Lingyan Palace, looking at the Lingyan Hall in the fire and not moving, his eyes were already crying into walnuts.

Qiaozhu, Hanyu, and Xia Qing knelt in front of Lingxi, and couldn't help but choke one after another.

They searched all the places in the Lingyan Hall where the fire was small and they could hide, but they couldn't find the five princesses and the five princes.

When Hanyan went to look for the Frost Pavilion, he was hit by a falling beam from the cloister and descended into a sea of fire.

Seeing Emperor Yong'an, Lingxi reached out and grabbed the hem of Emperor Yong'an's robe, trembling his lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, the five princesses and the five princes must have run out, right?" ”

Emperor Yong'an squatted down, took Lingxi's hand without a trace of warmth, and said in an affirmative tone, "Our five princesses and five princes are blessed with great lives, and they must have run out." I have sent people out to find them, and I will find them back. ”

Lingxi opened his empty eyes and nodded slightly, "Mu'er and Yi'er will definitely be fine." ”

Xiao Dezi dragged a stump back from a distance, knelt in front of Lingxi, endured his crying, and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the slave led someone to find all the places that could be found outside the Lingyan Palace......

For the rest of the words, Xiao Dezi couldn't go on.

"Boom~"

The main hall of the Lingyan Hall was burned to the ground.

When the heat wave came, Qiaozhu and lotus leaves blocked the front of Lingxi at the same time, and let the scorching heat with sparks rush on his back.

Lingxi's heart was tingling with this 'boom', and the nail of his right hand grabbed into Emperor Yong'an's palm, and the whole person trembled.

Gonggong Feng came from a distance, knelt down in front of Emperor Yong'an, looked at Emperor Yong'an with wide eyes, choked up, and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang, the guards have searched all over the Yongle Palace......"

Emperor Yong'an closed his eyes when he heard this, and hugged the haired Lingxi into his arms. His brows were furrowed, and he buried his face on Lingxi's shoulder, and Emperor Yong'an's eyes were slightly wet.

As a father, what could be more painful than losing two sons overnight?

Lingxi couldn't cry anymore, her eyes looked in the direction of the unknown, and she said in a daze, "Your Majesty, you give the concubine the death penalty, the fifth princess and the fifth prince are gone, and the concubine doesn't want to live......"

Emperor Yong'an gritted his teeth on the side of Lingxi's ear and said, "Lingxi, we will still have children, and we will have both children." Lingxi, I will definitely give you an explanation, and I will not let the five princesses and the five princes ......"

Emperor Yong'an choked and smashed his fist on the stone road beside Lingxi.

Lingxi lay in the arms of Emperor Yong'an, his eyes wide open, extremely empty. Compared with Emperor Yong'an's emotion, she was very calm, and she said to Emperor Yong'an, "Your Majesty, if you catch the arsonist, can you let the concubines come to trial?" ”

Emperor Yong'an nodded and hugged the spirit rhino in his arms tighter.

Lingxi hugged Emperor Yong'an's waist tightly with both hands, used all the strength of his body, and frowned, "Your Majesty, is the concubine in the eighteenth layer ......of hell now?"

Looking at such a spiritual rhino, lotus leaves and Qiaozhu cried bitterly. The surrounding minions also whispered and mourned.

The fire burned until the eastern sky revealed a ray of bright white, and then gradually extinguished, accompanied by the rising sun, bursts of black smoke came out.

Emperor Yong'an and Lingxi sat in front of the sea of fire until dawn, without saying a word.

Xiao and the Empress Dowager walked behind the two of them holding Zhiyue's hand, choking on the black smoke rising from the ruins.

Looking at the two people who were embarrassed, Xiao and the Empress Dowager sent away all the minions present. Then he raised the dragon's head cane and smashed it on the back of Emperor Yong'an with all his strength.

Xiao and the Empress Dowager beat each other, and said in an old and sad voice, "You are a father in vain!" You're a husband in vain! You're sorry for your sons and daughters! ”

Emperor Yong'an protected the spirit rhino in his arms, gritted his teeth and endured the three rods waved by the Empress Dowager Xiaohe.

But this pain is not worth the pain of losing a child in his heart.

"Get out of here!" The Empress Dowager Xiaohe slammed the bluestone slab with the cane in her hand, and said angrily, "Otherwise, you will be a king in vain!" ”

Emperor Yong'an stood up, gritted his teeth at Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, and said, "Imperial grandmother, grandson, grandson must find out this matter clearly!" Give you, Lingxi, and my sons and daughters an explanation. ”

After saying that, he strode towards the outside of Yongle Palace, and his eyes flashed with the pain of losing a child.

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe walked up to the sluggish Lingxi, bent down, and said softly, "Girl, let's go back with my grandmother......"

Lingxi reached out and grabbed the skirt of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, looked up at the snow-white hair of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, and cried out.

The grief in Lingxi's heart all erupted in front of the filial piety and the empress dowager like relatives.

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe squatted down and put down the crutches in her hand, hugged Lingxi into her arms, patted Lingxi's back and comforted, "Good boy, be good, don't cry......"

"Grandmother, my child, my child......" Lingxi clutched the shoulders of the Empress Dowager and wept silently.

"Your child is still there, still there!" The Empress Dowager Xiaohe stretched out her hand to wipe Lingxi's tears, and said softly, "Your child is still there, the five princes are here, and the five princesses are also ......."

Hearing this, Lingxi stopped crying, stared at Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, and sobbed, "Ancestor, grandmother, is it true?" ”

"Of course it's true." Xiao and the Empress Dowager wanted to hug Lingxi, but she was already old and didn't hug her twice.

In the end, Xiao and the Empress Dowager sat on the ground and said to Lingxi, "When did grandmother lie to you?" The five princesses and the five princes are all fine, and they are in the Changle Palace......"

Lingxi looked at Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager in a daze, wanting to see the truth from the eyes of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe.

Suddenly, Lingxi's tears fell again, she covered her face and cried bitterly, "Old Ancestor, the fifth princess and the fifth prince are so small, the fire is so urgent, they, how can they run out......"

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe sighed and said, "You kid is dead-eyed, don't you and your ancestor go back to Yongshou Palace to take a look?" ”

Lingxi cried even louder.

Hundreds of persuasions were ineffective, Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager stood up, called Zhiyue, who was standing far away, over, and said, "You go, bring the five princesses and the five princes, and their mothers let them coax themselves, and the old woman of the mourning family can't be coaxed......"

Lingxi stretched out his hand to grab the corner of Xiao He's skirt of the Empress Dowager, and sobbed, "Grandmother, I'll go back to Yongshou Palace with you, and I'll go back with you ......" The second watch was offered~~
