Chapter 454: I owe you my life, I pay it off
Chu Yunjian hugged the porcelain vase, Jun's face was full of solemnity, there were his people guarding the Star Picking Tower, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't be on fire......
He didn't have time to think about who was responsible for the fire, so he quickly walked to the porch and looked down, the fire was very strong, the buildings below were burning, and they couldn't escape through the stairs at all.
And at this time in the flower house.
On September nights, the moon is clear.
The bamboo shadow is Xiao Xiao, the green gauze curtains are rolled up high, Gu Qinyuan is sitting alone on a purple bamboo rattan chair, next to a sandalwood lampstand, the white gauze lantern on the lamp stand emits a light white soft light, intertwined with the moonlight, this scene is extremely quiet.
He shook a feather fan and quietly stared at the bright moon in the night, as if he was waiting for something.
I don't know how long later, the door was pushed open, and a secret guard stepped into the threshold and arched his hand at him: "Mr. Gu, the affairs in the palace have been completed." His subordinates let the dark pile in the palace set fire to the star tower, and Emperor Chu was still on the top floor, his right arm lost his strength and could not be used, so he could only be burned alive. ”
When Gu Qinyuan heard this, the corners of his bloodless pale lips were slightly hooked, and there was a slight smile in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Chu Yunjian is resourceful and ambitious, if he doesn't die, it will be much more difficult for his cousin to unify the four kingdoms in the future." You've done a great job, go down and claim your reward. ”
The secret guard hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively, "Miss Shen, she ...... Also upstairs. ”
The feather fan shook twice, and the smile in Gu Qinyuan's eyes was even brighter: "It's okay." ”
"Yes."
After the guards retreated, the room was so quiet that only the chirping of autumn insects could be heard outside the window.
A few clouds covered the bright moon, Gu Qinyuan put down the folding fan, got up indifferently and walked to the bed.
……
Inside the Royal Palace.
Smoke billowed and the fire grew louder.
Shen Miaoyan dipped the brocade in water, covered her mouth and nose, and her amber eyes were full of panic.
She vividly remembers the dream she had had so many times.
On the top of the tall building in her dream, the flames rose from the ground, and the tongue of fire swept everything, and she ran feebly, and the golden sparks splashed on the hem of her skirt, burning her skirt into dark holes.
She ran as hard as she could, but she couldn't outrun the flames until she fell to the ground weakly.
Those who had been killed by her loomed in the flames, constantly pulling her feet and trying to pull her into the flames.
In the choking smoke, her eyes were foggy, staring at the flames approaching her, and she forgot to dodge.
The heat wave is coming.
"I'm about to die......"
She murmured softly, staring at the flames, dreams and reality were intertwined, and the faces of Chu Zhen, Bai Jue'er, Hua's, Shen Rong and others loomed in it, hideous and terrifying.
She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, her amber eyes full of sorrow.
Chu Yunjian was desperately tearing those brocade quilts, curtains and other things into long strips, and before he could finish the life-saving rope, he saw the girl lying on the floor, staring blankly at the flames, as if she had fallen into an evil spirit.
With a pang in his heart, he hurriedly rushed over, hugged her into his arms, and shook her desperately: "Shen Miaoyan, Shen Miaoyan!" ”
Shen Miaoyan let him sway, his thoughts froze, and he felt that the whole person was in a sea of fire, and everything he could see was blood red, and he couldn't see anything else.
Chu Yunjian picked her up horizontally, and before he could lift a step, he heard a squeak from above, he raised his head, gasped, and hurriedly ran down the corridor, and just took a few steps, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling behind him, and a whole beam fell down.
He did not dare to look back, and ran to the side of the porch, only to see that the rope that saved his life had already been burned.
The heat wave behind him was scorching, and the floor under his feet let out a weak scream, and he saw the high-rise building collapse in an instant.
He looked at the ground a hundred feet high, and then at the girl in his arms, and a smile suddenly tugged at the corner of his lips.
He bowed his head and kissed Shen Miaoyan's forehead: "Miaoyan, I am willing to die with you." ”
With that, he jumped off the ground regardless of everything.
The moment he jumped, the Star Picking Tower collapsed.
Those gold jewels, antique calligraphy and paintings, all died in the fire.
The wind whistled past his ears, Shen Miaoyan's eyes widened suddenly, only to see Chu Yunjian holding her tightly in his arms, and at the moment when he was about to land, he turned over and made her face upwards, smiling elegantly and gently: "Shen Miaoyan, I owe you my life, I pay it off." ”
The words landed, and his back slammed down on the flowerbed.
Shen Miaoyan was lying in his arms, and his little face was in disbelief.
Chu Yun between him, he ......
The palace maids around her surrounded with shouts, she was pulled away, and the eunuchs carried the stretcher and quickly took Chu Yunjian away.
She sat on the ground alone, staring blankly at those who were far away, Chu Yunjian he, saved her with his life?
The fire in the Star Picking Tower was still burning wantonly, and the firelight illuminated her white and tender side face, and her amber eyes were full of confusion.
The night is still long.
She stood up tremblingly on her knees, and fell to her knees before she could take two steps forward.
In the faint light and shadow ahead, a young man rushed in, he helped her up, and his voice was full of concern: "Sister Miaoyan, are you okay?" ”
Shen Miaoyan was still staring at Chu Yunjian's back as he left, and slowly shook his head.
Han Xuzhi glanced at the burning Star Picking Tower, and plucked up the courage to say, "If you stay in the palace, you will definitely be arrested as a suspect." Your uncle has already controlled the Praetorian Guards through Xiahou Ming, if you are caught by them, I am afraid that you will be more than lucky. If you believe me, follow me. ”
Shen Miaoyan was at a loss, Han Xuzhi saw that she didn't speak or move, and the sound of neat Praetorian Guard footsteps sounded in the distance, frowned, and pulled her to his carriage regardless of everything.
Han Xuzhi was promoted to prime minister at a young age, and the Praetorian Guards guarding the palace gate gave him a lot of face, so he let him out without searching the car.
The news of picking up the stars and walking in the water soon spread to the National Teacher's Mansion, and Jun Tianlan put on a coat and rode to the palace on a strong wind.
He was in front of the palace gate and staggered with the Han family's carriage.
And at this time in the prison.
Shen Yueru shrank in the corner, and there were two patrolling jailers standing outside, discussing the matter of the palace going to water.
She listened quietly and couldn't help asking, "How is the emperor?" ”
One of the jailers smiled: "Miss Shen, what about the emperor, it has nothing to do with you!" You're a deposed queen, but you have to remember some identity. ”
"Even if this palace is abolished, it is more noble than you!" Shen Yue roared angrily.
"Yes, yes, you are very noble!" The jailer teased, "The emperor now favors Miss Shen San, and your phoenix crown and phoenix robe will soon be worn by Miss Shen San." I really don't know where you came from, and you dare to call yourself this palace! ”
Another jailer laughed obscenely: "Miss Shen, are you lonely in prison?" Do you want our brothers and sons to relieve your boredom? ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the jailer, untied the key from his waist, and opened the prison door.
The jailer hesitated: "She was the queen after all, like this...... I'm afraid of it, right? ”
