Chapter 23: The Burst Candle

However, Jin Ning's expression remained unchanged, she raised her eyes slightly, and her tone was light: "Don't be afraid." ”

Zhu Xinghe shrunk his neck and muttered, "Why aren't you afraid?" ”

Her voice was very small and small, but Jin Ning seemed to hear it, and smiled lightly: "Why are you so daring?" ”

Maybe at this moment, Zhu Xinghe understands why everyone likes Jin Ning in this palace.

His smile and tone made Zhu Xinghe feel like his heart was blooming!

Ling Tianhan frowned at this, firmly stood in front of Zhu Xinghe and Yongle, and warned Jin Ning: "Don't play tricks, you are treating Princess Yongle now." ”

Jin Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, and then put the sparkling candle back slightly: "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness King Han." ”

Zhu Xinghe was standing between Yongle and Ling Tianhan, to be honest, it was the first time she was so close to Ling Tianhan!

I wish Xinghe has been in the palace for so long, and he has also dismissed some princes and even emperors.

Most of the men in the royal family like all kinds of spices made with ambergris. Or rosin agarwood, the taste of these deeper spices does have a very high-end feeling, which can make the masculinity even more manly.

And the women in the palace like to use more floral and fruity fragrances, and less hard spices.

But regardless of men and women, Zhu Xinghe really rarely sees people who don't use spices.

Obviously, Ling Tianhan was one of them.

There was an indescribable smell on his body, it was not unpleasant, it was a bit like the smell of grass after the rain. Some people think it's annoying to be wet, but Zhu Xinghe thinks it's actually quite fresh.

It's just that it makes people feel that the taste is a little cold, which is really consistent with Ling Tianhan's whole appearance.

Although the candle in Jin Ning's hand has been burning for so long, it is strange that it is not short for half a minute.

However, when Jin Ning looked down at the candle sparks in his hand, he suddenly frowned and took a step back: "Someone has done something to my candle!" ”

As he spoke, he had already picked up a basin with fine sand on the side, and pressed the head of the candle down into the sandβ€”

"Zizizi-"

It stands to reason that if a candle is pressed directly into the sand while burning, it will be extinguished.

However, at this moment, in the sand basin, the spark of the candle grew louder and louder!

"Stand back!"

Ling Tianhan protected Zhu Xinghe and Princess Yongle, and naturally blocked his arm in front of Zhu Xinghe.

Zhu Xinghe didn't know why, the corners of his mouth hooked, but suddenly he heard a "bang-" sound.

The candle that had just fallen into the sand basin in Jin Ning's hand burst open, and sparks splashed everywhere, and when it splashed on the surrounding veils, it actually ignited a flame directly!

Jin Ning took a step back and shouted to the people around him: "Go to the water, bring the water quickly!" ”

Zhu Xinghe felt a wave of heat rushing towards him, and the speed at which the veil burned faster than they imagined!

"Ahh

There were already little palace maids who began to scream to escape from this princess palace, and the speed of this fire spread so fast that even if Ling Tianhan had already reacted immediately, it still couldn't make them escape in the first place!

The fire quickly spread around, and there were many veils in the princess hall itself, plus this time Jin Ning brought a lot of prayer flag-like things over, which directly caused this fire to completely seal their retreat!

Zhu Xinghe stretched out his hand to Ling Tianhan, and in a hurry, Ling Tianhan just gave his hand to Zhu Xinghe.

Suddenly grabbed his hand, Zhu Xinghe was a little surprised, so he hurriedly said: "Tear some clothes for the princess, otherwise this smoke and dust will choke her to death!" ”

Yongle was behind Zhu Xinghe, grabbing Zhu Xinghe's shirt tightly, but he was already coughing.

Ling Tianhan reacted at this time, took the bucket in the palace maid's hand for the first time, ripped off the clothes on his body, handed one to Yongle, and then handed one to Zhu Xinghe.

He himself covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and grabbed Jin Ning, who was also coughing on the side: "What's going on!?" ”

"Ahem, ahemβ€”"

Jin Ning had already choked so much that his eyes were red, and he was caught by Ling Tianhan like this, but he couldn't say a word.

Zhu Xinghe hurriedly divided half of the clothes in his hand to Jin Ning, Jin Ning covered his mouth and nose, and it was much better after a while.

And the fire had already spread to them, Ling Tianhan frowned, and looked back at the side hall where the fire was slightly smaller: "Let's go there first to take refuge!" ”

"No! Ahem, ahemβ€”"

Jin Ning grabbed Zhu Xinghe's arm: "If this fire spreads to the house for a while, we really won't be able to escape!" ”

But he had already felt Ling Tianhan's sharp eyes, but he stiffened his neck and explained: "I'm just afraid that someone is going to attack the princess with my hand, if I really want to harm the princess, how can I be trapped here with you?" ”

This can be convincing, but Zhu Xinghe can clearly feel that the murderous aura on Ling Tianhan's body makes people break out in a cold sweat in this scorching fire.

"I'll get you out safely."

Ling Tianhan's strength was even greater, pulling Zhu Xinghe and Yongle away, and he was already heading in the direction of the side hall: "Before the fire spreads, I will take you out." ”

After that, he pulled Yongle first: "I'll carry you out!" ”

Yongle didn't say a word, and got on Ling Tianhan's back.

But she covered her mouth and nose, but turned around and grabbed Zhu Xinghe: "Save her!" ”

Zhu Xinghe was stunned, and he was a little moved in his heart: this Yongle princess looks pampered on weekdays, but in fact, her heart is not really bad.

Ling Tianhan nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I will still come." ”

It's like saying it to Princess Yongle, and it's like saying it to Zhu Xinghe.

Zhu Xinghe let go of Princess Yongle's hand, and looked at Ling Tianhan jumping forward, actually heading out from this fire-

Zhu Xinghe was a little dumbfounded: she had been in this dynasty for so long, and it was the first time she had seen such a light skill!

Sure enough, Ling Tinghan is Ling Tinghan, no wonder Prince Ping is polite to him now.

The sound of palace people coming to put out the fire was already heard outside, and this side hall was still safe.

After Zhu Xinghe closed the door, he pulled some curtains, and after the tea in the side hall was soaked, he blocked the crack in the door.

When I turned around, I saw that Jin Ning was looking down at his hands-

His right hand must have been burned by Fang Cai's candle, and an ugly red blood blister appeared on the back of his white hand at this moment.

His hands trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, which should have hurt a lot.

Zhu Xinghe stepped forward, looked carefully at the huge blister, and thought about whether there was anything that could be used in the side hall.
