The road from Yongle Palace to Yongshou Palace is not far, but Lingxi has walked like a year.

"Girl...... "Xiaohe Empress Dowager held Zhiyue's hand, followed behind Lingxi, and said to Lingxi, "Get on the sedan chair, your two legs, in the end, are not as fast as eight legs." ”

Lingxi looked back at the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, who was barely keeping up with her footsteps behind her, and her hair was already graying, and tears fell again.

She shook her head lightly, raised her hand and wiped the tears in her eyes, "Ancestor, don't accompany the girl to suffer this sin, girl, the girl will measure it step by step." ”

Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager sighed helplessly, so she could only go to Fengren by herself and go back to Yongshou Palace first.

Before leaving, the Empress Dowager Xiaohe told the lotus leaf, "You can take care of your mother......

After Xiao and the Empress Dowager's Luan drove away, Lingxi cried again. The meaning of filial piety and the Empress Dowager's words was clearly that she was afraid that she would not be able to withstand the blow and found a short-sightedness.

The tears in Lotus Ye's eyes couldn't be stopped, she held Lingxi's hand and comforted, "Niangniang, the five princesses and the five princes must be fine." Niangniang, are they waiting for you in the Yongshou Palace? ”

Lingxi bit her lip tightly and nodded, wiped away her tears, and then grabbed the lotus leaf's hand and walked forward.

Xiao Dezi dragged a stump leg to follow, and the water on his face was no longer distinguishable from sweat or tears. With a sob, he crouched down and threw a strip of cloth from the torn hem of his robe and tied it to his burned right leg.

He wanted to go to Yongshou Palace first, he wanted to see if the five princesses and the five princes were really in the Changle Hall of Yongshou Palace safely as Xiao and the Empress Dowager said.

Qiaozhu saw Xiao Dezi's intentions, and grabbed Xiao Dezi's sleeve with red eyes.

Xiao Dezi was puzzled, choked up, "Qiaozhu, Niangniang is too tormenting herself, I'll go and see ......"

Qiaozhu shook his head, tears rained down, and said silently, "Don't, Niangniang, Niangniang doesn't sit in a sedan chair just to leave a memory for herself." If it is, if it is, the mother will not be able to stand it......"

Hanyu nodded again and again after listening to Qiaozhu's words, choked up and couldn't say a word.

Xia Qing covered her face with her sleeves, relying on Hanyu who was holding her to lead the way. The five princes were raised by her since she was a child, and the feelings in them are deeper than anyone else. She sobbed even more after listening to Qiaozhu's words.

At the door of Qingle Palace, Yu Guifei, who heard the news, was already standing there waiting.

Seeing Lingxi coming from a distance, Yu Guifei's eyes turned red and tears fell.

She wanted to step forward to comfort Lingxi for a few words, but at this time, she had to hold Pan'er's hand and hide behind the palace gate of Qingle Palace and sobbed in a low voice.

It wasn't until Pan'er told her that Lingxi had walked over that Yu Guifei cried loudly.

She held Pan'er's hand tightly and choked up, "Pan'er, the fifth prince ......"

Pan'er will take the concubine into her arms, pat the back of the concubine, tears fall, "Niangniang, you have to relax." Now who can Ye Guifei listen to in this harem, you must be good, you are good, you can persuade Ye Guifei to ...... well"

No matter how long the road between Yongle Palace and Yongshou Palace is, there is a time to finish.

Standing at the door of the Yongshou Palace, Lingxi asked himself in his heart, if there was really no pair of children of his own, how would he live.

Can't get an answer.

Even though Lingxi said to herself a thousand times in her heart that she must hold on, but when she thought that she would never see the fifth princess and the fifth prince again, her heart was still like being stabbed ten thousand times with a knife by someone else.

Without the courage to raise his legs and step forward, Lingxi sat at the door of the Yongshou Palace, crying loudly.

Lotus Ye squatted down, holding the spirit rhino and crying silently. She couldn't think of a word to comfort Lingxi now, and she couldn't do anything but cry.

Lingxi raised his eyes and looked at the scenery inside the gate of Yongshou Palace, unable to tell whether it was heaven or hell after stepping in.

In the hazy eyes of tears, she saw the tender yellow figure of the fifth princess walking towards her, and beside her, she was also followed by the five princes dressed in emerald green.

Yesterday, the five princesses and the five princes came to the Yongshou Palace to greet her, and they were dressed like this.

One yellow and one green, like a rose blooming brilliantly in summer, like a straight poplar in the sun......

Lingxi didn't dare to wipe the tears from her eyes, she was afraid that it was just her fantasy, as long as she wiped the tears away, she would never see them again.

Lotus Ye cried with joy, and the hand holding Lingxi trembled. She tried to tell Lingxi several times that it was true, but she choked up so much that she couldn't speak.

The fifth princess took the five princes out of the high threshold of Yongshou Palace and squatted in front of Lingxi.

Stretching out her little hand, the fifth princess wiped away the tears in Lingxi's eyes, and sobbed, "Mother, don't cry, Mu'er and the fifth emperor brother are fine." ”

The fifth prince threw himself directly into Lingxi's arms, and his small body trembled vigorously. Last night's fire frightened the young five princes.

It wasn't until the voice of the fifth princess came and the body of the fifth prince crashed into Lingxi's arms that Lingxi believed that what he saw was true.

The five princesses and the five princes were fine, they were standing in front of their eyes.

Stretching out his hand to caress the delicate cheeks of the fifth princess, Lingxi hugged his pair of children into his arms and wept bitterly.

The great joy after the great sorrow has completely collapsed Lingxi's psychological defense. In these few short hours, she fell from the world to hell and from hell to heaven.

Xiao and the Empress Dowager stood in the palace of Yongshou Palace, took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Lotus Leaf and Qiaozhu, "Don't look at it, quickly help your master in, find someone with fast feet, and go to the imperial doctor to ......"

Xiao Dezi jumped up, ignoring the injury on his leg, and while wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he limped in the direction of the hospital.

Lingxi is fine, but she has been stimulated too much, so that she has been holding the hands of the fifth princess and the fifth prince. If you don't let go of anything, no one will coax you, and you will suffer from serious gains and losses.

When he sleeps, he also becomes extremely sensitive, as long as there is a slight movement, he will wake up, and then let the lotus leaf go to the side hall of the Luoxue Pavilion to see if the five princesses and the five princes are asleep in the side hall safely.

has similar problems with Lingxi, and Emperor Yong'an, who has stayed in Luoxue Pavilion every night since the Lingyan Palace.

Every time Lingxi was awakened by a nightmare, Emperor Yong'an hugged it and coaxed it carefully. It wasn't until Lotus Ye came back and said that the five princesses and the five princes were fine, and Lingxi fell asleep again with tears on his eyelashes, that he would breathe a long sigh of relief.

In this regard, Imperial Physician Wang had no good tricks, so he could only slowly recuperate, and prescribed countless bitter medicine juices to Lingxi.

Lingxi's problem lasted for about half a month, and the fire in the Lingyan Hall also had a clue.

The reason why the fire in the Lingyan Hall ignites so quickly is because the color materials used in the painting in the Lingyan Hall are mixed with flammable phosphorus powder.

When the Lingyan Hall was repaired, it was Ying Guifei who was the assistant to the six palaces. Therefore, this matter was found on the body of Ying Guifei, and then it was found on the craftsman who entered the palace to repair the Lingyan Hall through the palace bureau.

I searched layer by layer, and finally found the workshop that repaired the spiritual research institute at that time to buy the pigments used in painting.

And the workshop, which was cheap and good at the time, had closed its doors half a year ago.

On the first day of June and July in the ninth year of Yong'an, the Ye family found the original owner of the workshop, and under torture, the boss confessed that the workshop was once the property of the Zhu family.

As a result, Concubine Ying's suspicion was cleared, and Concubine Rou was pulled into the water.

But the boss's testimony alone cannot prove that this incident was committed by Concubine Rou, because Emperor Yong'an did not find out who was stunned in the palace and maliciously set fire to the palace in the Lingyan Hall on June 16.

The fire case of the Lingyan Hall has reached an impasse.

When Emperor Yong'an strictly investigated the fire in the Lingyan Palace, the healed Lingxi locked his eyes on his sons and daughters.

When Lingxi was ill, Xiao and the Empress Dowager once told her that the five princesses and the five princes appeared in the Yongshou Palace on the 17th.

Where did they go in the middle of three full hours?

Xiao Dezi brought people, and Emperor Yong'an sent hundreds of guards who couldn't turn the two of them in Yongle Palace, where did the two of them hide?

On the third day of the seventh month, Lingxi called the five princesses and the five princes to the Buddha hall behind the Changle Palace.

After letting the two of them kneel down in front of the Buddha statue, Lingxi Po took out the posture of Yan Mu, first slapped the ring ruler in his hand on the futon, and then said sharply, "Mu'er, Yi'er, today in front of the Buddha, you have to tell the truth about every word your mother asks, if you don't say it, don't blame your mother for punishing you!" ”

The fifth prince was frightened by the ring ruler in Lingxi's hand, and there was three points of fear in his eyes when he looked at Lingxi.

Seeing this, the fifth princess hurriedly blocked in front of the five princes, raised her little face, and had a posture of sacrificing her life for righteousness, "Mother, if you want to beat me, the fifth princess brother is still young, and he doesn't know anything." ”

Seeing that the fifth princess was crumbling and her little face was a little pale, Lingxi took a lot of concentration to not squat down and hold her into her arms.

With a cold snort, Lingxi sat down on the chair on one side and said, "Say it......"

The fifth princess turned around and patted the shoulder of the fifth prince who looked worried, and said softly, "Fifth emperor brother, you go out to play for a while first, and my sister will look for you later......"

The fifth prince glanced at Lingxi's face, got up from the futon, and left the Buddhist hall directly.

In the thick sandalwood, Lingxi asked the fifth princess with a straight face, "Tell me, what happened that day." ”

The fifth princess knelt on the futon, lowered her head, and said in a steady tone, "A moment after the sixteenth day, Mu'er got up. Taking advantage of Xia Qing's sleep, Mu'er woke up the five emperor brothers and hid them in the east wing of the Lingyan Palace. Mu Er watched a man in black knock out all the palace people in the hall, and then set a fire in the hall...... When the fire broke out and the man in black ran away, Mu'er ran up to the corridor and set Xiao Dezi's pants on fire for him to save people, and then took the five emperor brothers to hide behind the rockery in the garden by night. Later, Xiao Dezi came to Yongshou Palace to look for you, and Mu'er followed behind with the five emperor brothers, entered Yongshou Palace, and hid in Luoxue Pavilion. The Changle Hall that didn't arrive until dawn......"

Lingxi closed his eyes and went through what the five princesses said in his heart, and found that it was exactly the same.

After opening his eyes, Lingxi asked suspiciously, "You got up and ran to the East Side Hall to wake up the five princes and hide them after a while, how did you know that there would be a fire in the Lingyan Palace?" Since you followed Xiao Dezi into the Yongshou Palace, why didn't you tell Xiao Dezi that you were still alive. Even if you don't look down on Xiao Dezi as a minion, why don't you tell me when you enter the Yongshou Palace, but hide in the Luoxue Pavilion until dawn? ”
