In the end, Father-in-law Yu still has a way, and after a while, the carriage was already set up and waiting at the gate of the palace, and I hurriedly sat up to urge the people who were driving the car to hurry up.

But the carriage went slowly, and staggered for a while before it had just entered the street.

I was so anxious that I couldn't wait, so I simply got out of the carriage and untied the horse from the wheel, and the little eunuch who was driving the carriage was startled, and was about to persuade me, but I had already turned over and got on the horse, and said to him: "Little brother, the matter is serious, you must not make a noise, otherwise a great disaster will come!" ”

Looking at my fierce appearance, the little eunuch was also shocked, in the end, I have often been in and out of Yonghe Palace these days, and today there was such a big thing, he also felt a little unusual, so he swallowed his saliva and obediently retreated.

I grabbed the horse's belly, and the horse under the seat galloped out like an arrow off the line.

As I galloped all the way, my back was so jolting on horseback that it seemed like half of my bones were about to fall apart, and at last in the deep night, my nose smelled the familiar cold fragrance again, and saw the outline of the great mansion in front of me.

Copper Bird Lane is planted deep in the west.

The Ome Villa to the west of Tongjakdai!

It wasn't until I just saw that poem that I suddenly remembered that I had indeed seen that scene, that is, that day Huang Tianba sat under the plum tree and waited for me with warm wine, the only difference was that the laurel tree on the painting became a plum tree, so although I have always felt familiar, I have never thought about it in the Qingmei Courtyard, but in fact, the scene is dead, but the tree is alive!

Could it be that that mansion has anything to do with the former queen?

However, doesn't that place belong to Huang Tianba?

What the hell is going on? Or is there some connection hidden in this that I don't know about? What about Pei Yuanhao? What did he see in the painting, and what did he know?

I didn't have time to think about it, there was a river in front of me, and the suspension bridge above it was so dangling that the horses couldn't get through, but if I had to cross the stone bridge and take a long detour, I hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and I didn't have time to tie the horse, so I threw off the reins and ran forward as fast as I could.

After crossing this bridge, there is a small distance in front of the Ome Villa.

At last, I was standing at the head of the bridge, and as soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, I heard a commotion in front of me, as if there was some commotion, and faintly heard many people shouting and roaring, and the quiet night was immediately broken by this noise.

As soon as I looked up, I saw a blaze in front of me, reflecting the dark sky in red.

That's—

I looked at the place where the fire came from, and it was the Ome Villa!

I realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly rushed to that side, getting closer and closer, and sure enough, it was the Qingmei Annex, only to see that the raging fire surrounded the entire courtyard, like a fire dragon raging wildly, letting out an angry roar, and the dark smoke rose into the sky, and with the roar of the fire demon, there were countless cries.

Inside, there are still people, so many people!

In the distance, I also saw the figures inside, who were burned by the flames and cried out, running desperately out, but before they could run out of the gate, they couldn't hold on, fell to the ground, and were soon engulfed in flames!

Pei Yuanhao, isn't he going to find the jade seal? Is he trapped inside?

As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly felt that the blood in my whole body was about to boil, and I hurriedly rushed over, the whole annex had been surrounded by fire, I only saw that the fire at the side door was not big, but it was also relatively hidden, if I hadn't been here before, I didn't know that there was actually a door here.

As soon as I approached, I felt a wave of heat hit me as if my hair was about to burn, and I gritted my teeth, rolled on the snow, kicked open the back door, and rushed in.

As soon as I entered, I felt that this was a piece of purgatory on earth.

The fire was so great that it was like a demon devouring life, and I saw everyone struggling and screaming in the flames, their bodies burning with flames and scorching stench, some people had choked on the smoke and fainted and fell into the fire, and some people were rushing out.

The snow on my clothes had already turned into water, and it had been dried at this time, and even a few corners of my clothes had already ignited flames, I endured the severe pain of my skin being burned, and shouted desperately: "Third Highness, where are you, Pei Yuanhao!" ”

There were figures all around, but they couldn't see him.

I panicked, I was afraid that he had already suffered, and shouted loudly: "Pei Yuanhao, Pei Yuanhao, you answer me, Pei Yuanhao!" ”

At this moment, I saw some people next to me enduring the scorching flames, ready to escape over the wall, but just on the high wall, I only heard a few swishing sounds, only to see a flash of silver light in the air, and a few arrows and crossbows shot quickly, shooting those people to the ground, and falling back into the sea of fire.

I suddenly felt something—someone, preventing them from escaping.

Is this fire --

At this moment, I saw a familiar voice in front of me in a blink of an eye, leaning against the wall, it was so smoked that it was almost unconscious, and slowly slid down the wall to the ground, and when I looked at it, it was Pei Yuanchen!

What's going on? How did he end up here?

I was taken aback and hurriedly pounced, sure enough, it was Pei Yuanchen, his face was still scarred, there were traces left by the smoke and fire, his lips were cracked, and there were several burns on his body, I hurriedly grabbed his shoulder: "His Royal Highness King Yun, Your Highness!" ”

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at me, "Is that you?" ”

"What's going on? Your Highness the Cloud King, how could you-"

"What's going on?" He repeated the phrase and suddenly smiled: "We were fooled." ”

Fooled?

I just felt that my mind was blank, I didn't have time to think about it, and I couldn't think about it at all, he coughed desperately a few times, and I hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I, I'll help you out!" ”

As I spoke, I was about to help him up, but as soon as I lifted him, I saw that the wall behind him had been soaked with blood, and then I saw that he had been hit by an arrow in the chest, which went straight to the back, and when I helped him, the wound cracked, and he screamed in pain, and fell down again.

"Your Highness!"

I didn't dare to touch him anymore, and Pei Yuanchen looked up at me, as if he was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that you would actually want to save me." ”

"......" I was stunned for a moment, indeed, I have always had no good impression of him, and even after knowing that he had that kind of thought about Huang Tianba, I was still disgusted in my heart, but now after all, human life is at stake, and I can't ignore him.

So I said, "Your Highness, bear with me, and I will carry you out." ”

Saying that, I was about to reach out to help him, but he waved his hand gently, refused, he coughed twice, this time he had coughed up blood, he reached out and wiped it, his face was even paler, and the person was also a little trembling: "It seems that I can't do it." ”

"His Royal Highness the Cloud King."

"What should I do......" He trembled and tears flowed from his eyes, but they were immediately dried up, and I felt the kind of fear and helplessness that emanated from his body, the imminent death of man, all the glory and wealth, the status and status are false, what else can I think about, what can I think about?

At this moment, his eyes flashed, he reached into his arms, and touched it with great effort, I thought he was in pain, and was about to comfort him, but I saw him take out a jade flute from his arms.

That is, he used it when he sang and made peace with Huang Tianba.

He had already handed the jade flute to me: "You, you must get out alive and give this to him." ”

I was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and saw that his pale face showed a seriousness and solemnity that I had never seen before, and looked at me and said, "I can't go back, but you must hand it over to him." ”

"Your Royal Highness......" I suddenly felt an indescribable sourness in my heart, I knew that he had that kind of thought about Huang Tianba, but I thought it was just his feelings for those beautiful men and charming male pets, he was just greedy for beauty, but I didn't expect that before he died, he actually thought about Huang Tianba!

He seemed to smile bitterly: "I know that he may not really be to me, but I still like him very much." ”

"......" I couldn't speak, I just felt that my eyes hurt, and it hurt badly.

"You help me give it to him, if he wants to keep it, keep it, and throw it away if he doesn't want to keep it."

“……”

I gently stretched out my hand and took the jade flute, and the tears welling up in my eyes were quickly dried by the scorching temperature around me, but looking at the pale face in front of me, it was still slowly blurred, as if his breathing began to be weak, and finally his smile condensed on his face, and when he lowered his head, he became blank.

I knelt in front of him, feeling the pain in my heart, I didn't even feel the fire burning at the corner of my skirt slowly burned to my body, I don't know how long it took, I felt more and more difficult to breathe, and the smoke got into my nose, and I was going to choke people.

I slowly stood up, pinched the jade flute with one hand, and looked out of the garden.

Others were rushing out, but before they could climb over the wall, some had even just smashed open the door, and the sharp crossbow arrows had pierced their chests, and suddenly blood gushed out, cutting through the sky and spilling on the scorching flames, adding a terrible taste.

The place where the crossbow bolts came from was on the opposite side of the garden!

I slowly looked up.

Just across the garden, on the second floor of the restaurant, I vaguely saw many people, and the familiar figure was sitting there, looking down coldly with a calm, or rather cold expression, as if a ruthless god was looking down on all beings.

It's him......

At this moment, I suddenly felt a little in a trance, as if on the night in Yangzhou City, fireworks bloomed, fire trees and silver flowers, and he was also standing high on the city tower, looking down, only this time, I was not in the crowd, but in the sea of fire, the people around me were crying, screaming, and struggling between life and death.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on this, and he was also shocked, and he hurriedly stood up and held on to the wooden railing, and looked at me with a shocked expression.

I looked at him too.

One qiē, as before.
