Chapter 302: Changing the Sky (Part II)
The flames were everywhere, and the 'bright' red light illuminated the entire palace red, and this fire was estimated to be the largest in the history of the Canglan Palace.
The fire burned for nearly four hours, and was extinguished only after the sky was bright, and a third of the palace was burned down.
When Mo Ao heard the news, he almost spurted out another mouthful of blood, but fortunately, Mu Qingya had recuperated his body for him in the past two days, so that he did not faint, making the palace busy again. Yesterday, he had just discussed with Yu Jinghong the conditions for 'handing over' the 'medicine' prescription, but just after he had a heart, he heard that the palace had been burned by a third of the fire, how could he not be angry.
"What the hell is going on?"
The 'attendant' guard who came to report trembled and knelt on the ground, his face full of cold sweat: "Back to the emperor, the fire came from the Yingke Xuan where the envoys lived, the 'flower' Yu Palace where Princess Mingli lived, and the Jingning Xuan where the Lord Mu lived. Please ask the emperor to condemn the crime
Mo Ao's eyes lit up: "You said that the fire started from where Yu Jinghong, Duanmu Mingli, and Mu Qingya lived?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, it's true, and it's ......"
"Your Majesty, the envoys asked to see a eunuch coming over at the entrance of the 'gate' and reported carefully.
Mo Ao frowned: "Let him in, it just so happens that I also have something to ask."
After a while, Yu Jinghong, who was in a mess, walked in, his clothes had traces of sparks, his face and head were full of black, and he couldn't see his original appearance at all: "Yu Jinghong has seen the emperor." Please ask the emperor to call the shots for Weichen! ”
"Speak!"
"Your Majesty, Weichen only discussed with the emperor yesterday the conditions for 'handing' for the 'medicine' prescription, but he didn't expect that there would be a fire in the middle of the night, and when the fire was burning, two black-clothed people quickly escaped from the Yingke Xuan, at that time Weichen hurriedly ordered the 'attendant' guards to chase, but he didn't want to catch the person in the end, please ask the emperor to order, hurry up and investigate, Weichen suspects that the 'medicine' prescription was stolen by those people!"
Mo Ao was taken aback: "What did you say?" The 'medicine' prescription was stolen? ”
"Back to the emperor's words, Weichen thought about taking out the 'medicine' prescription last night, and waiting for the dawn to take the opportunity to present it to the emperor, but he didn't want to recruit a thief, this thief was vicious, not only wanted to steal the 'medicine' prescription, but also wanted to kill Weichen and Princess Mingli and Lord Mu, otherwise this fire was too light, this is to completely start a dispute with the 'jade' cold, and ask the emperor to be clear
Mo Ao was very angry in his heart, the plague had been dragging on for more than two months, although he had sent soldiers to surround the cities of the North and South Counties to control the people to go out, but the plague could not be contained, not to mention, the news of the death of a large number of people came every day, and the number of mobs who united to resist was also increasing, as the king of a country, he couldn't sleep peacefully almost every night, thinking that such a situation could be solved, but he didn't want such an incident to happen.
"Someone, go to the commander of the Xuanjing Guard
The incident of the palace fire set off an uproar in the whole Canglan 'wave', after the commander of the Beijing Guard Army investigated in the palace, he found traces of tung oil in the burning palace, and there was a man in black who was burned to death in the palace because he did not have time to escape from the palace, after investigation, the person who was burned to death turned out to be Mo Junling's guest secretary, and then found a 'jade' charm on his body, after investigation, the evidence pointed directly to the second prince Mo Junling.
Mo Ao was furious when he learned about it, at this time, I don't know who it was, it was rumored that Mo Junwei's blood copying of scriptures was fake, he used animal blood, not his own blood, and then there was a doctor to investigate the scriptures that had been written, and it was really used. Chicken's blood was copied, Mo Ao was really mad, and sent someone to escort Mo Junwei into the palace on the spot, and scolded him for being a bloody dog, from his mother to what he did later, from beginning to end, although those words were not recorded by the historian, but it was a fatal blow to Mo Junling.
What's even more alarming is not these, but the people who heard the news, they were looking forward to the emperor being able to get the 'medicine' prescription and save them from fire and water, but they didn't want to spread it, the 'medicine' prescription was stolen by the second prince and destroyed instead of being destroyed, if they went to the 'jade' cold to get the 'medicine' prescription back at this time, it would be delayed for more than a month, they were dying every day, where could they wait so long? More and more people participated in the riots, and there were constant clashes with the army that went to suppress them, and many civilians were killed! This situation is like a vicious 'sex' cycle, and the whole North County area is devastated!
In the palace, Mu Qingya and Duanmu Mingli were rescued. But because the people who went to the rescue were not timely, Duanmu Mingli was burned a large part of his arm!
Mu Qingya sat on the edge of the 'bed' and helped her with the 'medicine': "Why does the princess toss herself like this? "Duanmu Mingli has already informed her in advance, she didn't have to be injured, and this injury is too serious, it has been three days, and the best 'medicine' has been used, but the wound is not good.
Duanmu Mingli smiled indifferently: "I am the princess of 'jade' cold, even if I am injured, no one dares to say anything about me, besides, the three palaces are on fire together, if everyone is fine, how can it seem unreal, I am injured, but it makes Mo Ao believe more and more, after all, as a princess, there is no reason to burn myself for no reason, right?" ”
Mu Qingya smiled, and helped her bandage the wound lightly: "The wound must not touch the water, I will use the best 'medicine', and I will definitely not leave any scars on your body."
"Okay," Duanmu Mingli smiled and glanced at the wound indifferently, "With your words, I can rest assured."
A group of palace 'women' walked in with a meal, and the musician and chess conductor put the things on the table, waved them out, and then walked up to Mu Qingya and said, "Princess, county lord, the meal has been arranged, let's eat first."
Duanmu Mingli nodded: "Okay."
Mu Qingya looked at Le Qi: "Is there any news from the envoy Yu?" ”
"Back to the county lord, there is no news from the envoys, but I heard that the emperor has issued an order to detain the second prince, and the second prince's mansion is also being searched
Mu Qingya's eyes moved, and a little smile flashed: "Okay, I know."
After the two finished eating, they chatted for a while before going to the two palaces to rest. After entering the 'door', Mu Qingya called Le Qi in: "How are things going?" ”
"Miss Hui, things are not going very well, although the second prince is detained, but he is the emperor's son in the end, although there are officers and soldiers to search, but no favorable news has been found, and now the matter is still deadlocked
Mu Qingya nodded: "This is reasonable, there is no precedent for killing a son in this royal family, although Mo Ao is angry with Mo Junling, but in the end he will be released, those officials also know this clearly, so they don't dare to offend Mo Junling too thoroughly, the so-called search is just to take a look, so we have to do it ourselves."
"But Miss, the shadow is not yet healed, although there are still dark guards, but behind them is not as good as the shadow, the odds of going are not good, Le Qi slightly deviated his eyes, and did not dare to look directly at Mu Qingya.
Mu Qingya's brows furrowed, her heart was very irritable, An Zhi's situation was not very good, he was the time to grow his body, although he poured all kinds of precious 'medicine' materials every day, but the body supporting him still seemed too reluctant, if he couldn't wake up as soon as possible, no one knew what would happen in the end. But that secret room is also too evil, except for the shadow, who else can crack it?
"What about Duanmu Lingyu?" At this time, talk to him about it, maybe there is a way.
Le Qi paused slightly, looked up at Mu Qingya, and saw that she just asked casually, then put her heart back in her stomach, and replied casually: "The emperor is dealing with the follow-up matters."
Mu Qingya was stunned and frowned: "What follow-up events did you say?" ”
"Ah...... The slave and maid are not very clear
Mu Qingya's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously felt that something was wrong, especially when she saw Le Qi bowing her head, the uneasiness in her heart instantly expanded: "Le Qi, I want to listen to the truth!" ”
Le Qi slammed his knees on the ground: "Miss...... Slaves...... The slave didn't dare to say, please forgive the young lady
Mu Qingya breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up suddenly: "Duanmu Lingyu went to the Second Prince's Mansion, didn't you?" ”
Le Qi shuddered: "Miss, did you guess?" ”
"When did it happen? When did he go? ”
"Last night, Le Qi gritted his teeth and told the truth.
Mu Qingya's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she only felt as if her whole heart was grabbed: "Last night? Why are you only telling me now? ”
"Miss forgive the sin, the emperor said that he was not allowed to tell Miss Le Qi to lie on the ground, with tears in his eyes, "Miss, the emperor said that you don't have to worry, he will definitely have nothing to do."
"Nothing?" Mu Qingya's heart tingled, Mo Junling's mansion was definitely not simple, the martial arts of the shadow were all seriously injured and returned, and he didn't even enter the 'door' of the secret room, although Duanmu Lingyu's martial arts were higher than the shadow, but he was not familiar with it, this time it must be more auspicious! He is the king of a country, how can he be so indiscriminate?
"Let the secret guard go, no matter how much it costs to 'spend', you must rescue Duanmu Lingyu!"
Le Qi didn't dare to raise her head, before the emperor left, he told her to hide the news, but she never thought that as soon as she opened her mouth, the young lady found out the truth of the matter, what should she do at this time?
"Miss, the emperor ordered before leaving, he will definitely come back well, so you don't have to worry, the emperor said, even if the young lady finds out, the secret guard is not allowed to go......"
"Not worried? Le Qi, Duanmu Lingyu is not only your master, but also the king of a country, he is responsible for the entire 'jade' cold, even if my life and An Zhi's lives are here, it can't withstand his safety! ”
"Miss, the slave knows it, but at this time, it is too dangerous to send out the shadow guard, once the grass startles the snake, and the Second Prince's Mansion strengthens its vigilance, then it will not be easy for the emperor to come out, if it is self-defeating to go down like this......"
Mu Qingya slowly sat back on the chair, slowly loosened her tightly clenched fingers, and slowly suppressed her 'excited' breathing: "What you said is right, I am too anxious, and I ordered the secret guards to be on guard at all times, if something happens, I will fight all my 'life', and I must ensure that Duanmu Lingyu is safe and sound."
"Yes, Miss!"
