In the middle of the night, everyone in the house fell asleep, but Ping'er accompanied the side concubine, the two of them dressed plainly and simply, sitting in the courtyard of the Danyuan Garden and watching the stars fall in the sky.

"Ping'er, remember what this place looks like."

Anyone who hears this brainless sentence will be confused, but Ping'er just understands.

Both of them were waiting, waiting for someone, and they knew they wouldn't have to wait long.

Ping'er's hand was clenched in her sleeve, clutching a small container made of bamboo.

"Concubine Niangniang, the princess Niangniang is hungry, and she said that she wants to drink porridge, so let Niangniang think of some tricks."

Ping'er's eyes lit up, her face was restless and nervous, this plan had been prepared early, and Ping'er had rehearsed with the side concubine countless times, but she was still very nervous when it came to implementation.

"Got it, I'll go right away."

The girls who were keeping vigil saw the side concubine Lin Xiaomiao walk into the back kitchen as usual.

whispered, knowing that this was the princess and embarrassed the concubine again.

There was only one girl and a servant keeping vigil in the kitchen.

"I'm going to do something different today, all of you go out, I didn't call you, and no one is allowed to come in."

Everyone in the house knows that the side concubine has many tricks, and Lin Fang also gave an order to everyone in the kitchen early, as long as the side concubine has an order, everyone in the kitchen is not allowed to spy on the kitchen at will.

"It's really windy tonight."

The little maid helped the side concubine to raise the fire, and was about to withdraw, but he didn't expect the cloud side concubine to suddenly sigh like this, some of the second monks were confused, and they responded to a few words casually, and then went out.

Ping'er and Lin Xiaomiao glanced at each other, the latter nodded at the former, and Ping'er walked to the courtyard of the back kitchen, where a lot of firewood was piled up.

After placing the flammable firewood around the kitchen, he withdrew alone, sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard, and took out the powder from his cuff the tube of bamboo jars......

Lin Xiaomiao took out the two porcelain bottles in her arms, and sprinkled the yellow powder on the firewood brought by Ping'er just now, her expression was resolute.

There is no turning back, it has come to such a point.

This was the last night in Jueyang Palace, and she looked up at the boxy sky above her head, and finally showed a relieved smile.

Tomorrow, everything will be like a new life......

After making sure that the fire did not reach Ping'er, she closed her eyes, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, not knowing whether it was joy or sadness.

No matter what, she can start over, no matter whether Duanmu Yi signs and leaves the book, as long as this fire burns over, everything will start again.

Lin Xiaomiao has disappeared since then......

But this state did not last long, she quickly took out an unfinished wood from under the stove, the head of the firewood, still bubbling with a warm fire, she smiled at the flames that could swallow everything...... Without regret, he cast this fire on the firewood that had just been sprinkled with sulfur powder.

Originally dry firewood does not burn when it encounters fire, but there is sulfur and this flammable thing on it, and there is this hay. All at once, the flames burst out.

Although the kitchen has to be turned on every day, the house is basically wooden.

The wooden house couldn't stop the flames from climbing, and the sound of collapse and shattering soon came, and the entire Jueyang Royal Mansion was awakened by this fire.

The girl and the little maid who had just been sent out by Lin Xiaomiao were still talking about what kind of dishes Lin Xiaomiao would make today, but they suddenly felt a strong flow of heat and a burnt taste, and when they saw the fire, the fire was already soaring to the sky.

Duanmu Yi was already ready to sleep, he felt flustered since this afternoon, but seeing that the day was coming to an end and nothing happened, he could only think that he was worried about himself, Aoki was about to help him extinguish the candle, but he was attracted by the bright light outside the window that was suddenly like day.

He knew very well that the one who could still emit such a fire in the dark night must be ......

"Master, it's not good, the house is running water!" Aoki had already seen the flames and shouted, but Duanmu Yi had already pushed open the window at this time, and the source of the fire was the direction of the back kitchen.

No! Don't be ......

He was shocked, a bad feeling arose spontaneously from the bottom of his heart, and with light steps, Duanmu Yi had already flown in the direction of the back kitchen, followed by Aoki's figure.

The two of them went one after the other, and they didn't care about the tortuous road in the house, so they directly stepped all the way from the roof with light work.

This point will still be in the kitchen, and there is only Concubine Yunbian...... The two know this.

Because Jinyu always asked the side concubine to make supper at about this point......

He also suddenly felt bad, feeling that this fire was strange, and the house had always paid attention to this fire......

Jinyu sat in the cloud pavilion, she was the first to see the fire, and her subordinate told her that it was a fire in the direction of the back kitchen, and she was shocked.

Although she is the person who wants Lin Xiaomiao's death the most, but in the middle of the night, a fire suddenly broke out in the back kitchen, even if Lin Xiaomiao died, this account would be counted on her head!

"Quick, hurry up and put out the fire!" As soon as Jinyu lifted her skirt, she ran towards the back kitchen, this cloud pavilion is the closest attic courtyard to the back kitchen, if the kitchen is watery, the fire can't be contained, and the unlucky one is her cloud pavilion.

When she arrived in the back kitchen, it happened that Duanmu Yi also arrived.

"Husband!" Jinyu's eyes were full of panic, she didn't expect this movement to attract Duanmu Yi.

The latter didn't care about her in the slightest, but wanted to rush into the kitchen room that had been wrapped in fire as soon as he saw Ping'er.

Jinyu and Aoki were both shocked, this Duan Mu Yi was the backbone of the Jueyang Palace, if he rushed into the fire regardless of the consequences, if something happened, it would be difficult to do.

Seeing that the waterwheel had arrived, Duanmuyi still wanted to rush inward, and Jinyu didn't want to be a widow, so she pulled Duanmuyi hard.

The scene was chaotic for a while, and Aoki saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, so he quickly stepped forward and picked up Ping'er and rushed out of the back kitchen.

Fortunately, Ping'er was not burned, but Aoki hugged Ping'er but felt that she didn't have any anger, and then the fire in the back kitchen, he clearly saw Ping'er's nose and mouth were black blood, and he probed her breath again, knowing that Ping'er was dead, and suddenly felt sad in his heart.

Duanmu Yi rushed into the back kitchen like crazy, but Jinyu pulled him to prevent him from rushing inward.

"Husband, Concubine Yun can't be saved, with such a big fire, it won't help if you rush in, she must have been burned to ashes......"

Jinyu was happy in her heart, but she still had a sad look on her face.

"Why can't she think about it like this, concubine?"

Aoki knew that it was Jinyu who sent the side concubine to make a supper tonight, and it was hard to say whether this was an accident or a man-made one.

He knelt beside Ping'er, stroked the side of her face, knowing that Ping'er couldn't be saved, the tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't be stopped, and he choked up and said, "Master, Ping'er...... Martyred......"

He knew that Duanmu Yi's mood at the moment must not be better than him, after all, it was Lin Xiaomiao who was in the fire......

Duanmuyi seems to be just indifferent to Concubine Yun these days, but in fact, he has been quietly paying attention to her condition, and he will take advantage of the dead of night to quietly go to the Tan Garden to take a look at Concubine Yun, but Concubine Yun has always wanted to ask for a piece of paper and a book, and Duanmu Yi's face can't be pulled down, so it will always be cloudy.

I didn't expect Concubine Yun to give herself to ...... with such a fire

At that moment, Aoki's eyes moved to Jinyu, who was holding Duanmu Yi on the side.

Duanmu Yi heard Jinyu's words, and looked at her with red eyes: "Get out!"

His roar mixed with despair made Jinyu stunned for a moment, and in such a stunned moment, he broke free of Jinyu's slender jade fingers and rushed towards the firelight.

Aoki saw that Duanmu Yi couldn't think about it, and a mountain dodged and stopped him.

"Master, don't go, this fire is too big, Concubine Yun thinks it's true...... You're just going to take another life...... You still have this big mansion and the princess and concubine......"

Aoki had no choice but to move Hibiscus out.

And Duanmu Yi was already out of strength, but he still calmed down: "What's the use of me asking for this, Lin Xiaomiao, she ......"

He roared, without Lin Xiaomiao, everything would be boring......

"Check! Check it out for me! There must be something hidden in this fire that has spread so fast and so strongly, and I want to see who will do it right under my nose!"

Duanmu Yi didn't say who it was, but this person could naturally already guess it, as soon as he finished speaking, Jinyu received a look of sight, she didn't do it, but she was suspected, which made her uncomfortable, but she couldn't lose her temper in front of everyone......

"Also, take Ping'er out for burial and bury it well." Duanmu Yi finally came back to his senses, and said slowly, he looked at the fire in his eyes and fell silent......

On the other side, Lin Xiaomiao, who was supposed to be burned to death in the fire, had escaped from the house with the help of the people who were bribed by Duanmu Yi.

traveled all the way unimpeded, and he had already come to the small courtyard of Chu Lan.

The master and servant were very happy to meet again after a long absence, and after greeting for a while, Chu Lan took out a brand new dress and asked her to change into it.

"Concubine Niangniang, your clothes are not suitable, change them quickly."

"You don't have to call me Concubine Side anymore, I don't have anything to do with that place anymore."

She took the pink clothes, put them on her body and simply tied them up in a bun for ordinary people, and inserted a hairpin at random. The whole person is very smart.

"I'm going to a restaurant."

She needed a new identity, and she couldn't wait a moment.

On this big night, most of the restaurants in Beijing have been closed, and only one is brightly lit.

Lin Xiaomiao put on a black cloak and came to the back door of this restaurant, where Duanmu Heng had been waiting for a long time......
