After Wen Lao left, Ji Zhongli carried Wen Jilin on his back, and left quickly with Jiang Yingning.

When they got outside, they found that the fire was not too big, and not many people had escaped.

"It should be extinguished in a moment." Wen Lao took the initiative to speak, looking at Ji Zhongli and Jiang Yingning's expressions a little unnatural.

Jiang Yingning nodded, "Well, it seems that someone still has some brains and knows how to measure." ”

"Someone?" Old Wen looked curious, "Who?" Could it be that this fire was deliberately set by someone? Who is it? ”

"I don't know." Jiang Yingning couldn't get Wen Lao involved in this matter, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "It seems that the second prince doesn't have to get everyone out, otherwise it's really easy to make trouble." ”

Elder Wen nodded thoughtfully, looked at Jiang Yingning, and then at Ji Zhongli, always feeling that these two people knew something.

A few people didn't speak again, quietly watching the people of the Weihu Army go in and out, fighting the fire with all their might.

After a while, Ziqi ran over, "Master, the second prince said that the fire is not big, let those officials continue to stay in the Yanyu Pavilion, and at this time, the fire is almost extinguished." ”

"Yes." Ji Zhongli nodded, and then looked at some onlookers not far away.

"It seems that the fire in the Yanyu Pavilion will soon spread throughout Kyoto, and maybe tomorrow morning, the emperor will know." Jiang Yingning also looked at those people not far away.

"Maybe not tomorrow morning." Ji Zhongli said lightly.

"That's better." Jiang Yingning squinted her eyes and smiled, these days, she has also stayed enough in the Yanyu Pavilion, and she just wants to leave quickly.

After another half an hour, the fire was finally completely extinguished.

Xiao Jinzi beside Yan Moxuan personally came to invite a few people back, "Old Wen, Master Ji, Miss Ying Ning, you can go back and rest, the fire has been extinguished, the second prince asked me to bring a message to a few people, sorry, I frightened you." ”

He said and took the initiative to carry Wen Jilin.

Several people returned to the Yanyu Pavilion together, and as soon as they entered, they could still smell some pungent smoke, and there were many officials shouting in the room, and the situation was chaotic.

Xiao Jinzi's face was a little embarrassed, and he immediately explained, "Master Ji, don't worry, these people will stop making trouble for a while, the second prince said, today's daytime events have made Yanyu Pavilion the target of public criticism, and they dare not let them go out until they have to." ”

Ji Zhongli and the others didn't react, and went upstairs as usual.

Everyone sent Wen Lao and Wen Jilin back to the room first, and Xiao Jinzi immediately left with interest.

Jiang Yingning and Ji Zhongli also planned to leave, but they didn't expect that Wen Lao would personally send the two to the door.

"Tomorrow for breakfast, you two will come together." The old man said with an awkward expression, obviously planning to reconcile with the two.

"Okay." Jiang Yingning was happy in her heart, and seeing that Ji Zhongli on the side didn't speak, she immediately grabbed Ji Zhongli's arm and added with a smile, "Old man Wen prepares more delicious food, and I'll come with Brother Li tomorrow morning." ”

After the two said goodbye to Wen Lao, they went to Mai'er's room together, and when they saw that her condition was stable, they were finally relieved and went back to rest.

At the same time, in the Qiankun Palace, Emperor Songde was woken up from the gentle countryside and gritted his teeth in anger.

"Your Majesty, someone from outside came to report it, saying that it was ...... It was said that the Smoke and Rain Pavilion was on fire. Chenggong said tremblingly, at this time, the two princes were concerned, and he didn't dare to stop it.

"What?" Emperor Songde sat up for a moment when he heard this, "How can this be?" What's going on now? ”

Concubine Lian, who was sleeping next to her, also quickly flashed a trace of worry in her eyes, and she also sat up and patted Emperor Songde's chest with her soft hand, "Your Majesty, don't worry, don't worry, the crown prince and the second prince Jiren have their own natural appearance, and they will be fine." ”

As she spoke, she put on her own clothes, and hurriedly helped Emperor Song De put on a simple dress.

The specific situation, Cheng's father-in-law didn't know, he immediately turned around and went out, and called the person who came to report in.

This person is one of Emperor Songde's secret guards, and almost no one has seen him, even if he is in the audience at this time, he is wearing a black scarf, and he can't see his face.

After he saw Emperor Songde, he immediately knelt down on one knee, "I have seen the emperor, there is no major problem over there in the Yanyu Pavilion, and the crown prince and the second prince are safe." ”

Emperor Songde's hanging heart finally fell, but the anger on his face did not diminish, "What the hell is going on?" How can a good one catch fire? ”

"I'm afraid the people of Kyoto deliberately lit the fire." The masked guard said calmly, "During the day, those people made a fuss. ”

"Your Majesty," he bowed his head, "the plague matter cannot be delayed any longer, and now whether it is the people of Kyoto or the adults of the Yanyu Pavilion, they can no longer wait." ”

"Didn't Ji Zhongli go?" Emperor Songde asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." The masked guard continued, "But...... It is said that Ji Gongzi did nothing there, went for a few days, and didn't study anything. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Lian, who had been silent, slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, this plague is menacing, and even the doctors of the Tai Hospital have been recruited, obviously there is no room for haste." ”

Emperor Songde nodded in agreement, and half of his dissatisfaction with Ji Zhongli disappeared in an instant.

The masked secret guard quickly glanced at Concubine Lian, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you really can't delay it any longer." ”

"Three days!" Emperor Songde finally spoke coldly, "In three days, if the second prince and Ji Zhongli can't find a prescription for the plague, I will issue an order to punish their crimes." ”

"Your Majesty," Concubine Lian couldn't help but say again, "Three days...... Will it be too tight? The second prince ......"

Before she finished her words, Emperor Song De gently pressed her hand, "Concubine Ai, don't worry, sometimes people just need to be forced to create miracles." ”

Saying that, Emperor Songde asked Gonggong Cheng to make an order tomorrow, and asked the second prince to hurry up and find a way.

"Yes." Cheng's father-in-law lowered his head and accepted the order, the corners of his mouth hooked up a vague smile, and when he went out, he told the little eunuch below about the matter.

Emperor Songde ordered the masked secret guard again, "Okay, you go back, continue to guard near the Yanyu Pavilion, no matter what, protect the crown prince and the second prince." ”

"Yes." The masked guard received the order and quickly disappeared.

Emperor Song De and Concubine Lian lay back on the bed again, but neither of them had any sleep.

"Your Majesty," Concubine Lian gently put her hand on Emperor Songde, her fingers gently drawing circles, "The masked secret guard just now was very powerful, why did the concubine seem to have never seen it?" ”

"Dark guard, others naturally can't see it." Emperor Song De felt tickled by that finger, and he pinched Concubine Lian's restless hand, "Don't say that others have seen it, they don't know about his existence at all." ”

When Concubine Lian heard this, she smiled coquettishly, "Then the concubine should still feel proud?" At least the concubines knew about his existence. ”
