Chapter 159: The Fire Spreads

As soon as these words came out, Mao Ziyi was instantly stunned in place. An exclamation came from behind him, "Concubine Xian's Eternal Life Hall is on fire?!" โ€

He turned his head to see that Hui Xiuyuan was standing behind him in her cloak.

The waiter bowed his head and said, "If you go back to your mother, yes." โ€

Hui Xiuyuan frowned and turned her head to look in the direction of the Yongshou Palace, the layers of palaces blocked her so that she couldn't see the firelight on that side. But the smoke that billowed into the sky said it all.

"Concubine Xian Niangniang has been rescued?" She asked.

The chamberlain replied truthfully: "Niangniang, Concubine Xian Niangniang has been rescued as soon as possible, but there are still many palace people trapped in the palace. โ€

Mao Ziyi looked at the palace people who were in a hurry on the road, lowered his head and arched his hand: "Niangniang, let the lowly also go and do a favor." โ€

Hui Xiuyuan's eyes trembled, and she stared at him for a long time before she said lightly, "You go." โ€

Mao Ziyi raised his head and said softly: "The humble post will definitely return safely, Niangniang will go back to the palace first." โ€

Hui Xiuyuan glanced in the direction of the Eternal Longevity Palace, turned around and walked into the hall. She paused slightly, "I'm waiting for you to come back." โ€

A vague voice drilled into Mao Ziyi's ears, and when he looked at her again, there was only a thin back that was fading away.

At this time, Hua Qingrao of Changle Hall was also noisy by the noise outside. No sooner had she sat up from the bed than Snow Kite walked in with the candle flame pushing the door.

Xue Kite glanced at Hua Qingrao, who was only wearing underwear, and lit the fire candles in the hall one by one, and the entire dormitory became bright.

She took a coat casually and carefully draped it on Hua Qingrao's body, "The slave knows that Niangniang must have been woken up." โ€

Hua Qingrao listened to the crowd outside the window, like a daytime market, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "What's going on outside?" โ€

"Concubine Zhang Xian's Yongshou Hall is on fire." Snow Kite replied succinctly.

Hua Qingrao raised her eyebrows, Zhao Xuan had arrested Taishi Zhang tonight, she had already known through Zhao Yu's news. Recently, it has been raining from time to time, and all parts of the palace should still be in a damp state, how can there be an accidental fire?

Her eyes narrowed slightly, I am afraid that this is a means for Concubine Zhang Xian to make Zhao Xuan feel pity and alleviate her current situation. They finally pulled Taishi Zhang down, and they couldn't give Concubine Zhang Xian a chance to breathe.

Thinking of this, she raised her hand to summon the snow kite, and whispered in her ear: "Go and burn the Yongyan Hall of Concubine Jiang Chen next to the Yongshou Palace, creating an illusion that the fire of the Yongshou Hall has spread over the past." โ€

Snow Kite's pupils twitched, and she asked in a low voice, "Do you need to find out where everyone stayed tonight?" โ€

Hua Qingrao waved her hand, raised her eyes and looked at her slyly, and said with a smile: "No need, there are many people in the palace who are rushing to help us do this kind of thing." โ€

Snow Kite instantly understood what she meant, a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, and she lowered her head and said, "The slave understands, the slave will do it!" โ€

The sky-high fire of the Yongshou Hall illuminated the gloomy night into day, and the hustle and bustle of the people also broke the silence.

Bao Qin managed to escape from the burning palace, her cheeks blackened by smoke and the smoke in her mouth.

She watched the crowd outside the hall, and her eyebrows couldn't help but furrow. Niangniang must have been crazy enough to pour wine in the palace and cause such a fire.

The sudden discomfort in her chest made her cough uncontrollably. Suddenly, a shout came from her ear: "Be careful! โ€

Before she could react, she was thrown to the ground by a figure that suddenly appeared, followed by the heavy sound of heavy objects falling.

The person pressing on her let out a muffled snort, and she turned her head in horror to look at the handsome face who was close at hand, his facial muscles crumpled in pain.

When Mao Ziyi arrived at the Yongshou Palace, it was the time when the fire was at its greatest. The burning Eternal Longevity Hall is like a fiery dragon, dancing wildly in the air.

The crowd took buckets and poured them in an attempt to extinguish the raging fire. But the fire was too violent, and the moment the water and fire met, it turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared without a trace.

The flames followed the wind like tongues of fire to ignite the surrounding houses, and soon connected into a whole sea of fire. From time to time, the roof tiles exploded violently, and the broken tiles sprayed like a dense drizzle towards the palace people who were fighting the fire, and dozens of people were injured and fell to the ground in an instant. This made more people frightened when they looked at the fire, and they didn't dare to step forward.

As soon as Mao Ziyi looked up, he saw that the plaque above the Yongshou Hall was crumbling, and directly below it stood a person who had just escaped from the palace.

He didn't think much of it, and subconsciously ran over and threw the man aside, but the plaque still hit him heavily on the back.

Everyone in all directions let out an exclamation, and soon everyone reacted and stepped forward to remove the plaque.

Baoqin got up from the ground, looked at Mao Ziyi, who was set up by the chamberlain, and his eyes couldn't help but overflow with Lei said. She panicked forward and asked, "How are you?" Is there something wrong? โ€

Mao Ziyi felt a hot pain in his back, he staggered and stood firmly, squeezing out a smile of nothingness, "I'm fine, are you okay?" โ€

Baoqin's tearful eyes trembled uncontrollably, and she watched him smile hard at her, and her heart twitched fiercely. She shook her head desperately and said in a trembling voice, "I'm fine!" I'm fine! Thank you! โ€

"The fire has spread to the Eternal Hall!!" I don't know who shouted, and shouted Baoqin's gaze too.

When she looked back again, the person who was standing in front of her had disappeared. She looked around in a panic, there were people everywhere, and she couldn't find him at all.

She hung her head, a slight regret in her eyes. She didn't know his name yet, just looked at the clothes on his body and guessed that he was a guard. But where is he on duty? In this vast harem, can she have a chance to see him again?

"Sister Baoqin!"

A call pulled her thoughts back, and she looked up at Lai Shun who was running briskly towards her, and a smile appeared on her face.

Lai Shun grabbed her shoulders and said excitedly: "Sister Baoqin, you scared me to death!" โ€

He leaned over her ear, lowered his voice, and said with a slight reproach: "Niangniang set the fire just now, why did you run into the fire with your life?" โ€

Baoqin touched the intact burden in her arms and pulled out a wry smile, "Isn't this a good place for me!" Where is the mother now? โ€

Lai Shun sighed, looked her up and down for a while, and saw that she was really not injured, so he said, "Niangniang has been moved to a safe place, sister come with me." โ€

Bao Qin turned her head and swept around the firefighting crowd again, but did not find the person who saved her, so she said "um" and followed him to turn around and walk away.

Hui Xiuyuan walked anxiously around the courtyard of the Linhua Palace, this Mao guard had already gone for half a while, why didn't he come back?

She jerked her head up and saw a stumbling figure enter the temple gate. She let go of her heart, and quickly stepped forward and asked, "How is the situation in the Yongshou Palace?" โ€

Mao Ziyi dragged his body and finally returned to Linhua Palace, he looked at Hui Xiuyuan, who walked quickly in front of him, and wanted to answer, but he only said "Niangniang" and fainted.
