Chapter 839: Disappointment
Shen Run accidentally met Princess Leyang's eyes, he was looking at what Chenguang was looking at for so long.
Princess Leyang looked at him, and after a while, her expression became firm, as if she was encouraged, and she lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped on the windowsill under Chun Tao's fierce resistance.
The distance of the second floor was already high for her, and the burning ash smoke poured up from below, blinding her. Her legs were a little weak, she looked at Shen Run again, this time she was more and more determined, she mustered up the courage, closed her eyes and jumped from the second floor.
She didn't believe that he would die or not save him, even if he hadn't had any thoughts about her, but in the face of a weak woman like her, he couldn't be indifferent. Men have a heart of pity and cherishment, just a gesture, he will definitely help.
She was sure of that.
The smell of wind, smoke, and fire rushed against her pale face, and not long after she jumped down, a strong hand gently hooked her belt, and then shook her, the force was not gentle or even a little rough, but she did not care, but ecstatic in her heart. She didn't stand firm after her feet landed, she sat on the ground with her buttocks, and her bones hurt so much that she opened her eyes in a hurry, but the person who crashed into her vision stunned her.
on the roof.
Chenguang couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
Shen Run was taken aback, immediately frowned, and scolded in a low voice: "How can you laugh at this time?" They'll think you're gloating! ”
Chenguang pursed his lips disapprovingly: "Do you want me to cry out in a fake way?" I didn't set the fire, and it wasn't my people who died, what does it have to do with me when they set fire in Cangqiu Country, why can't I laugh? ”
"Since you don't want to start a war now, don't stir up unnecessary resentment from their people against you in Cangqiu Country, it's not good for you, you should still be cautious in your words and deeds in the Three Kingdoms Council."
"If I laugh twice, they will resent me, so they must not hate me so much that they want to dismantle me in the future?" Chenguang snorted and said nonchalantly.
Shen Run looked at her helplessly.
He is a cautious person, whether it is in national affairs or diplomacy, he is very cautious, thinks a lot in advance, tries to be cautious in words and deeds, and does not leave himself in trouble. Chenguang was the complete opposite of him, and his casual arrogance sometimes brought her unnecessary trouble, but she didn't care at all, as if to say that the last thing she was afraid of was trouble.
On the street, Princess Leyang's face was white.
Quicksand was picking up the other two aristocratic ladies who were still upstairs to jump off the building, and he didn't have time to pay attention to her.
She looked at Shen Run, who was standing on the roof of the building, with a sad face, who was talking to his wife, and didn't look at her at all, she bit her lip in embarrassment.
In the distance, a horse stepped on the fire and stopped at the bottom of the Quanwei Zhai Building, the people on the horse were dressed in purple and beautiful, but they were so indifferent that they didn't even dare to deceive themselves by the fire.
That man was her titular husband.
If this person was her real husband, she would have no regrets in this life, even if she slept in the coffin a hundred years later, she was smiling, but that person didn't even glance at her, and after standing on the horse, she raised her head and looked at the roof surrounded by gray smoke.
Her heart was cold.
With Yan Ying's arrival, the fire brigade also came in, divided into two teams towards the center of the street, quickly watering and extinguishing the fire. Fortunately, the firefighting measures in Yicheng are not bad, and there are water tanks on the main streets, so there is no need to temporarily go to the well to fetch water.
The ground became wet because of the firefighting, and those who could evacuate had already run to the street corner to be evacuated, and those who died in the fire did not need to be evacuated, and the fire brigade took a lot of effort to control the fire, but the buildings of the entire two streets were all destroyed.
Chenguang was carried down from the roof by Shen Run when the fire brigade came in to fight the fire, and stood in the middle of the street with both feet on the ground. She first looked at the fire brigade to extinguish the fire, and then looked at the corpse bearers who were coming and going beside her, and then she looked at Yan Ying, who was sitting on the horse, and said with a smile:
"Yicheng has not had such a big fire in the past hundred years, the regent has only been in power for a few years, and the fire has burned, this is really not a good sign, in my opinion, the regent should still take this as a warning and do more good things, such as whether the dove occupies the magpie's nest or not, lest the heavens send a punishment, it doesn't matter if it falls on you, if it involves the people of Yicheng and even the entire Cangqiu country to be buried together, wouldn't those innocent people be pitiful?"
She didn't deliberately announce it loudly, but her voice was crisp and loud, and the firefighters heard it, the injured who survived the roadside heard it, the person who carried the corpse heard it, the doctor who rescued the person also heard it, and a few close ministers who came with Yan Ying also heard it.
Qiu Wen, the left prime minister of Cangqiu Country, was obviously a member of the regent palace, and when he saw Chenguang's words and sarcastically, this fire was because Yan Ying coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes too immoral, and he was immediately furious, and raised his eyebrows and reprimanded angrily:
"Lord Feng, don't be unbelievable! This fire is clearly the work of the mob, and has nothing to do with the regent! ”
Chenguang glanced at him, looked at Yan Ying's face, and sneered: "With the regent here, how can there be no mobs?" ”
"This is my country's internal affairs, and it has nothing to do with the Phoenix Lord, the Phoenix Lord is so anxious to find a reason for this fire, could it be that this fire has anything to do with the Phoenix Lord? When the minister came over just now, he saw Lord Feng smiling at the fire, could it be ......" Qiu Wen wanted to speak and stopped, and the meaning in his words was obvious.
Chenguang smiled and said: "You have said it, this is the business of your country, it has nothing to do with me, and I have nothing to do with it, do I have to be under your control when I smile?" Lord Zuo Cheng can grow his head on his neck because of the mercy of King Yingwu, I thought Lord Zuo Cheng would be very flustered recently, but I didn't expect to be so angry. ”
A word poked Qiu Wen's sore spot, Qiu Wen was implicated in the unwarranted disaster of the Yingwu Palace's mansion a few days ago, and he has been being talked about recently and lost face, and now he is being pulled out again by the Feng Lord of the Feng Dynasty, his face is blackened, and he is furious.
"Lord Qiu, that's enough." Yan Ying stopped in a deep voice, looking at Chenguang's triumphant smiling face, this woman spoke and set a trap around the corner, and was caught in it without paying attention, she was not so bad when she was young, how did she grow into such a crooked heart, he chuckled, and said to Chenguang in a warm voice, "Let His Royal Highness Lord Feng be frightened, although the fire here has been controlled, it is still very dangerous, His Royal Highness Lord Feng should go back to the post house as soon as possible, and I will send the imperial doctor to His Highness to take a look and prescribe two pairs of calming decoctions." ”
Chenguang looked at him and said with a smile: "The imperial doctor is exempt, the soothing decoction is still left for your side concubine, Concubine Dou was frightened a lot this time, and she had to drink a few pairs of soothing soup." ”
Yan Ying stared at her expressionlessly and did not speak.
Chenguang held Huo Wu's hand, passed by the crowd of firefighters, and walked towards the street.
Yan Ying withdrew her gaze from her and looked at Princess Leyang sitting on the wetland in the distance, her eyes were cold.
Princess Leyang couldn't help but shiver after meeting his gaze.
Chenguang stopped in front of a balm shop adjacent to Quanwei Zhai, raised his eyes, and looked at an inconspicuous tavern opposite the balm shop, the first floor of the tavern was burned down, but the second floor was intact, the window sash on the second floor was closed, it was pitch black, and the morning light stared at the window sash in the middle, as if he was watching.
"What's wrong?" Shen Runhu asked suspiciously.
Chenguang came back to his senses, shook his head, said nothing, and continued walking.
Opposite, behind the closed window sash, in the darkness, the slender knuckle hand brought a delicate wine cup to his lips and took a sip, and after a while, the man seemed to raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
