Chapter 516: Passing
In the middle of the night, Concubine Su, who was supposed to be in the cold palace, appeared outside the palace already made people feel confused, not to mention that now she appeared outside the city, under Yun Shumo and their carriage, looking at Concubine Su's actions, she seemed to be trying to stop the carriage!
Hua Qingyan helped Concubine Su up, took off her cloak and put it on Concubine Su, "Niangniang, it's so late, why are you stopping the carriage outside the city?" ”
Concubine Su was indeed very happy to see her and the prince, but she didn't know how to speak for Hua Qingyan's questions, so she could only sigh: "It's hard to say, and it's not my intention to get out of the cold palace." ”
Concubine Su pulled the corners of her mouth and showed a wry smile, and then said with a straight face: "Please also ask the prince and county lord to come with me, this is not the place to talk." ”
Concubine Su clearly knows her situation, the cold palace is on fire, and she is missing, the emperor will definitely send someone to track down her whereabouts. It doesn't matter if she is caught herself, but she doesn't want to burden others.
Everyone obviously didn't expect Concubine Su to have such a request, but Concubine Su's expression didn't look like she was smiling and her face was anxious. Yun Shumo and Hua Qingyan glanced at each other and did not refuse Concubine Su's request.
However, there were many of them, and it was obviously impossible for all the carriages to go with Concubine Su, so Yun Shumo asked Mei Yu to take the others back to the Hou Mansion first, and then he sent Hua Qing and Yan back safely after the matter was resolved.
Mei Yu looked at Hua Qingyan, who was leaving with Yun Shumo, and sighed faintly. At the beginning, Hua Qingyan and Nashang Youyang also had a marriage contract, but Mei Yu had never been so worried as she is now. I always feel that my daughter is about to become someone else's family.
"Aunt Mei, it's not early, it's not safe outside the city, let's go back early." Zhou Rong proposed.
Mei Yu nodded and turned back to her carriage, she suddenly realized something, and when she turned her head, the fire in the northwest direction was so red that it was impossible to ignore. Mei Yu frowned, but she felt a little stuffy in her heart. Mei Yu pointed in that direction and asked, "Where is that?" ”
Zhou Rong glanced at it, but his expression was slightly restrained, but he said, "I don't know." ”
Mei Yu didn't seem to have the meaning to figure it out thoroughly, and she didn't get an answer, so she nodded and didn't ask any more questions, frowning and getting into the carriage.
On the other side, according to Concubine Su's instructions, Yu Jiamin drove the carriage all the way to the most remote mountain villa outside Yongjing City. After entering the villa, Concubine Su breathed a sigh of relief, and along the way, she tensed up and lifted the curtain from time to time to look back, as if she was on guard against someone following.
Hua Qingyan, who came to her senses, also began to feel strange at this moment, Concubine Su was beaten into the cold palace by the emperor, if there was no order from the emperor, I am afraid that the rest of her life would only be spent in the cold palace. But now Concubine Su is out of the palace, and it is such a sensitive time!
Hua Qingyan stared at Concubine Su suspiciously, she hadn't forgotten that although Concubine Su looked innocent, her son had assassinated Yun Suiyue, and if she was really simple-minded, it would be impossible for her to be favored in the palace for so many years.
She didn't miss the fiery red in the sky, but now that she came back to her senses, she realized that something was wrong, how could it be so bright in the middle of the night, isn't it just on fire! Hua Qingyan's mind turned, Concubine Su went out of the palace, and Yongjing City walked in the water......
Hua Qingyan was suddenly stunned, and something whistled out of her head!
Hua Qingyan grabbed Concubine Su and asked anxiously, "How is my sister-in-law?" And Xiao Yongle, Niangniang, since you are all out, it is impossible for them to have an accident, right! ”
Concubine Su's eyes were a little evasive, but she never dared to look at Hua Qingyan. Hua Qingyan was even more panicked when she saw her like this, and she grabbed Concubine Su's hand a little tighter, "Niangniang, you are talking!" ”
Concubine Su suffered pain but endured it stiffly, she understood Hua Qingyan's mood. Hua Qingyan is already very gentle, if it were her, she would never be so calm. Concubine Su glanced at Yun Shumo, saw that he was expressionless and didn't know what he was thinking, and then looked at the anxious Hua Qingyan, bit her lip and said: "I don't know what happened to Miss Le Xin, the fire in the cold palace was deliberately set by someone, and fire oil was poured outside the house!" ”
Kerosene!
Hua Qingyan's eyes widened, this is to put people to death!
Hua Qingyan shuddered: "Who is so ruthless?" ”
Concubine Su looked strange, lowered her head and said, "My guess is that it's Han Mi'er." Concubine Su patted Hua Qingyan's hand and continued, "I don't know if you will believe me, but I still have to make it clear." Didn't someone monitor the cold palace a few days ago, I suspect it's Han Mi'er's person. Because Mrs. May and Miss Lexin hid it well, they were not found. But the child can't be hidden, so Han Mi'er is afraid that she thinks I gave birth to a child in the cold palace. ”
Concubine Su paused when she said this, she observed the faces of the two, and saw that they did not show suspicious looks, and her heart was also a lot calmer. Although she is also alone now, she is also life-saving. The two people in front of her, one is the regent who kills decisively, and the other is the county lord of the loyal and brave marquis mansion that the regent loves, no matter who it is, if she suspects her about this, then she is afraid that she will only die.
Concubine Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I had already fallen asleep tonight, but I heard a sudden movement outside the house. The cold palace was very quiet, and I couldn't hear any sound at night, so I was awakened. At first, I thought it was Miss Lexin who was going to get up late to help, but I immediately felt that something was wrong. Speaking of this, Concubine Su's face showed a trace of horror, and the experience of this night really made her feel thrilling!
Concubine Su is a person who is content with the status quo, even in the cold and lonely cold palace, she can live a good life. Since Mei Yu and Le Xin came, Concubine Su's life has also been enriched, and taking care of them is also Concubine Su's job. Mei Yu and Le Xin are easy to get along with, so although their lives are simple and simple, they are comfortable.
But not long ago, this comfortable day was broken. After the regent's birthday, there were many more people outside the cold palace, and there were a lot of snooping. Concubine Su promised Emperor Qiyuan to take good care of Mei Yu and them, so she naturally hid them well so that others would not find them, but the children couldn't hide them. So being misunderstood for her child, she could only admit it silently!
But Concubine Su didn't expect someone to be so vicious!
The cold palace was quiet, she slept lightly, and she could hear a little sound outside at night. The sound tonight was particularly strange, like the sound of many people falling from a high place, and the chatter was like the sound of conversation. At the same time, Concubine Su also smelled a pungent smell!
Concubine Su was shocked in her heart, and immediately understood that these people outside were not good stubble. She sat up slowly, quietly walked to the door and looked outside, and saw a group of ten black-clothed people pouring fire oil on the doorposts and window rails of the palace! Those people in black not only wanted to burn her Concubine Su to death, but also robbed that child!
Concubine Su is not a cold-blooded person, and after getting along with Le Xin for so long, she naturally has feelings, she will never do anything that she will not save when she dies, and if she doesn't save herself, she will die in this fire!
Concubine Su sneaked into Le Xin's room while the man in black went to the backyard to put firewood. Obviously, Le Xin is also a clever person, and she was almost knocked out by Le Xin when she went in!
Concubine Su knew that there was a dog hole in the courtyard, and she could not only get out of the cold palace, but also directly out of the palace. Concubine Su discussed with Le Xin and asked her to leave with the child quickly, and she stayed behind to cover for Le Xin first. Le Xin is a kind person, how could she agree to leave Concubine Su alone, so she didn't agree with Le Xin's proposal. Concubine Su had no choice but to go with Le Xin.
The two of them didn't have time to pack up their things, so they sneaked into the corner of the yard while the enemy was not paying attention. But after all, they are two women, and they have no skills and a child. They were only halfway through the journey before they were discovered by the man in black!
In a hurry, Concubine Su took out a fire fold and lit the firewood poured with fire oil, and then planned to take advantage of the chaos to push Le Xin out. But it's too late, because of the child, Le Xin has been caught by the man in black. Le Xin was ruthless and actually threw the child to her!
In this way, how could Concubine Su not understand what Le Xin meant, she gritted her teeth and held the child and rushed to the dog hole as fast as she could. She didn't dare to turn back, so she could only protect the child in her arms and keep running out.
After Concubine Su left the palace, the fire had already burned, but she couldn't bear to look back, the fire in the sky, and those people in black, Concubine Su couldn't imagine the fate of Le Xin. She suddenly regretted it, she should have gone and exchanged Le Xin back! In this way, Xiao Yongle and Le Xin will not be separated from mother and son!
That is, Xiao Yongle, who had been quiet all the time, broke out into a howling cry, which was particularly loud in this night!
Concubine Su, who was still sad, woke up in an instant, and hurriedly hugged the child and continued to escape, away from the palace!
When Concubine Su took Xiao Yongle to settle down in the village outside the city, Concubine Su gritted her teeth and planned to go back to Yongjing City to inquire about the news before dawn, the fire was so big, it must be impossible to hide, and the Empress Dowager and the people in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion all knew that Le Xin and the child were in the cold palace, and the cold palace was in the water, and they would definitely not sit idly by!
Concubine Su had no carriage or horse, so she could only walk on two legs, but she was already exhausted after escaping all the way. When she saw the carriage, she was happy, and she wanted to stop politely, but she didn't stand firm and fell over.
Concubine Su was a little glad that she would meet Yun Shumo and Hua Qingyan outside the city so coincidentally! Yun Shumo is the regent, so he can naturally make things worse, and Hua Qingyan is the child's aunt, and she can take the child back to the Hou Mansion with her, and it is better than following her to live a worrying life.
Concubine Su wiped her face and wiped away all those horrors, "I originally thought that if there was no danger tomorrow, I would send the child to the Hou Mansion, but now it's okay, county lord, with you, I don't have to worry about it." ”
Hua Qingyan didn't speak, she seemed to be shocked by what Concubine Su said, and only said after a long time: "Concubine Su, thank you." ”
