In the middle of the night, a woman's panicked cry suddenly came from a withered and dilapidated hall in the cold palace: "Oh no, no...... bad"

The sound came from the place where Takeran lived. Zuo Yawei, who was guarding the cold palace, chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly ran outside the hall to ask, "What's the situation inside?" Because the emperor wants to inquire about Zhu Ran's situation every once in a while, although Zhu Heyu did not clearly explain whether he took care of Zhu Ran or was harsh, it can be seen that his unconsciously revealed attitude, and he also knew that the emperor's old feelings for Zhu Ran were not over. If something happens at this time, for example, Zhu Ran can't stand the pain of the cold palace and hangs himself, then they will also lose their heads.

There was no movement in the hall suddenly, and the guards were even more afraid, but they could only be in a hurry, although the emperor's concubines were beaten into the cold palace, but they were also the emperor's women, and they were such big men who were dying in a hurry outside, and they didn't dare to break the door in. knocked on the door with his hand and shouted inside: "What's the situation, the palace maid came out to reply for the mother!" ”

Xiao Ge and Zhu Ran were both sitting in the hall, listening to the knock of the palace door being knocked on by the guards, Xiao Ge looked at Zhu Ran and asked for his opinion.

Zhu Ran nodded. Xiao Ge got up and walked slowly towards the door. When he was about to reach the temple gate, he pretended to be very anxious, pushed the door and walked out.

"What's the situation, is the mother okay?" Ya Wei asked anxiously.

Xiaoge pretended to cry and said: "Just now for Niangniang's wide clothes to untie, Niangniang found that the peach pit wood carving that the emperor had given was missing, and I couldn't find it after searching all over the body, maybe I accidentally fell somewhere when I was cleaning the yard during the day today!" ”

When Zuo Yawei heard that it was such a trivial matter, he breathed a sigh of relief, put his heart in his stomach, and said impatiently: "What's the matter, make a fuss, get up tomorrow morning and look for it!" ”

Xiaoge didn't follow, grabbed the guard sleeve and said: "My lord, that's the only thing the emperor gave to Niangniang, can Niangniang regain her favor and rely on this peach kernel wood carving!" This precious thing is more precious than the life of a slave and maid, and it must not be lost! ”

"Less nonsense, what time is this, you should be the day! Go back to sleep. The guard shook off the small grid in annoyance.

Xiao Ge pounced again, grabbed the sleeve of one of the guards, and begged: "That peach pit wood carving can't be lost!" Please, two adults, lend me a wind lantern in your hand, I will look for the place where the mother is active during the day, and go back when I find it, and never cause trouble for the adults. Xiao Ge said, and stuffed a golden fork and a jade bracelet into the hands of the two of them. There was a little reluctance in her heart, it was something that Zhu Ran was wearing when she was beaten into the cold palace, and now if this method doesn't work, then she and Zhu Ran will do everything they can, and they won't be able to turn over.

With the help of the light, the two of them could also see that the golden fork and the jade bracelet were in excellent condition, and they had to hand over a wind lantern to Xiao Ge, and explained: "It's windy in spring, you should be careful with it!" ”

Xiao Ge replied again and again, first pretending to look around the hall, and finally went around the sight of the two, poured the dead leaves and weeds that he had picked up during the day at the back of the hall where the two lived, tore off the lampshade, and placed the candle on the grass. After a while, the flames flared up. It's just that there is a large hall in the way, and the guards in front of it don't notice it. It wasn't until the flames sparked on the eaves of the temple and emitted an unpleasant smell that the guards noticed it. The fire is getting stronger and stronger, and with the strong wind at night, it is no longer controllable.

"On fire......"

"Come and put out the fire......"

"Oh no......"

In an instant, the cold palace became lively. The guards, the shouts of the women, the sound of the raging fire burning the eaves. People were busy putting out fires and shouting.

"Is the mother out?!" This incident alarmed the leader of the Sanpin Yawei. Sanpin Yawei asked anxiously.

"It's like... It doesn't seem to be ......."

"Bastard!" Sanpin Yawei scolded a few people who were fighting the fire, seeing that the hall where Zhu Ran lived was about to be burned down, and he had no choice but to rush in to save Zhu Ran out.

Zhu Ran was sitting in the hall, looking at the fire on the roof of the hall, his face was hot from the heat, but his heart was cold. Until this moment, she was not sure if Zhu Heyu would come here when she heard the news of the fire. It's just three things, if she can't succeed this time, then she will give up completely, this kind of life is very hard, but the life that Zhu Heyu thinks about is very tiring......

A person suddenly rushed into the hall, and Zhu Ran turned around with hope, but when he saw someone, he turned back full of disappointment. Raising her eyes, she saw a huge beam smashing towards her, she subconsciously covered her face with her arm, and in an instant, she fell down with a bang......

The smoke in the room robbed her unconscious, and she felt suffocated in her chest, and coughed violently, but opened her eyes. But I saw a figure suddenly disappear from front of him, and walked quickly towards the outside of the hall. She didn't care about the discomfort of her body, nor did she care that she didn't have shoes on her feet, so she quickly chased after her disheveled clothes until she saw the figure.

Zhu Ran shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! ”

After Zhu Heyu heard this, he resisted the urge to stop, and told him over and over again in his heart that she had betrayed him, not once, and Lu Zihan, Du Yuxuan, and Ha Xin'er all had an unclear relationship, what is she! Thinking like this, I didn't stop.

This was Zhu Ran's last chance, and Zhu Ran didn't know how to do it, so he ran in front of him and blocked his way. The two faced each other and stared at each other. Zhu Ran looked at Zhu Heyu, and Zhu Heyu also looked at Zhu Ran, he was still well-dressed and handsome, but she was untidy, with a yellow face and thin muscles.

"Get out of the way!" He resisted the pain in his heart and the urge to caress her emaciated cheeks, and said in a cold voice.

Zhu Ran had been holding the peach pit wood carving tightly in his hand, and he had passed out in the fire just now, and he was subconsciously holding it. At this time, she couldn't tell whether she was performing or revealing her true feelings, the tears in her eyes couldn't stop crossing her cheeks, she couldn't help the twitching of the corners of her mouth, looked at Zhu Heyu and smiled: "This time, we may not see each other for the rest of our lives......"

This weak and fluttering sentence hit Zhu Heyu's heart so painfully, Zhu Heyu's palms clenched into fists in the dark, avoiding the fragility in his heart, and still said coldly: "Get out of the way!" ”

Zhu Ran knew that she couldn't give up this opportunity, so she grabbed Zhu Heyu's hand and stuffed an object into his hand.

Zhu Heyu already knew what it was, and his heart was soft, but he covered it with a sneer on his face, "This thing, you are not rare, are you?" ”

Zhu Ran shook his head and smiled, "It's because I care too much about this thing that I caused the mess today, or... Let's return it to its original owner......"

Too concerned about this? Zhu Heyu knew that the fire in the cold palace this time was the same as the first two times, one hunger strike and fainting, and the other pouring cold water and getting seriously ill, and it was done for a purpose. It's just that even if he knew, this time he was still worried about her safety like the previous two times, and couldn't help but come to the cold palace to see her. The last time she left before she woke up, this time she was awake so suddenly that he didn't have time to get out. Because he knew that as long as she woke up, as long as she showed him a little court, he couldn't help but forgive her. No matter how much she violated his bottom line, no matter how much he made a vow in his heart that he would never want her again.
