Chapter 367: The heart is like ashes

Just when Su Yizhao was looking for a place to escape, what all the candidates were worried about still happened.

Originally, it was snowing, but in the evening, the snow stopped again, and the wind rose around the empty Gongyuan at night.

The fire, which had been under control, grew larger again, and worst of all, the two large tanks of water next to the house had already been used up.

"Quick! Go to the big kitchen and get water, there's a well over there. Go to more people and fetch water. ”

All the candidates hurriedly leaned on the window to take a look, and suddenly their hearts jumped in shock.

I saw that the burning house had been submerged in the raging fire, and some of the burning beams were broken, and the house immediately collapsed.

Hearing the sound of the house collapsing, Su Yizhao's uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.

"Oh no, the wind is blowing in our direction, and the fire is burning." Some of the candidates shouted in horror.

"Let us out, we're going to be burned."

Many officials came over quickly with buckets, but the buckets here were limited, and even if there were many people, it would be useless.

Even the cook in the big kitchen came with a scoop and a copper basin, but it was still a drop in the bucket.

The fire was even more rapid than before, and at this time, even Du Jiang panicked.

"Quick! Let them all out. While commanding everyone to put out the fire, Du Jiang shouted for two people to open the locked house.

"It's too late, the fire is too big, and the water doesn't have time to be lifted." An official couldn't help but be frustrated.

"Hurry up and carry water for Lao Tzu, if it all burns, we will all die here."

Looking at the side of the corner of the house above, there was a tongue of fire licking in, and Su Yizhao was suddenly very anxious.

"Hurry up, get me out of here, the fire is burning." Su Yizhao shouted loudly outside.

However, at the moment, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, and the house was locked from the outside, and it took time to open the house.

The wind fueled the fire, and in a matter of moments, the row of buildings on the opposite side was annihilated in the flames.

Su Yizhao inhaled a lot of smoke without checking, she coughed vigorously, her eyes were blurry, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

"Help me!" Su Yizhao shouted out the window.

However, as far as the eye could see, there was only chaos, and no one paid attention to this side at all.

The ears were filled with screams, shouts, and cries for help, and the fire behind him became more and more fierce.

Old lady Su tossed and turned all night, his eyelids jumped violently this night, and he always felt that something was about to happen.

Unable to sleep, he got up and put on his coat.

"What's the matter, sir? You've been tossing and turning all night, but you're sleepy? ”

The old lady looked at Su Jinxun, who got up, and asked strangely.

"I don't know why I always have some heart palpitations and can't sleep."

The old lady wanted to open the window, but remembered that his wife was sleeping, so he gave up!

"You go to sleep first! I'll go to the study and read a book for a while. ”

"What time has it been?" The old lady asked.

"It's the fourth watch, I just knocked on the bangzi." As she spoke, the old lady put on her coat, and was ready to take a big coat and go to the study to sit down for a while.

There was still an hour before the morning dynasty, and it was still dark outside.

"Oh no! Sir, it's not good. ”

Suddenly, Su Huai's voice came, and his tone was very eager and trembling.

The old lady's heart jumped suddenly, he immediately opened the door, and after taking a few steps, he saw Su Huai stumbling over.

"What's so alarming?" The old lady drank it.

"Master, it's not good, the Gongyuan is on fire."

"What?" The old lady was frightened, and only felt that her legs were a little weak.

"Fire, how's the fire?" He asked with a sudden daunt, stammering.

"The fire was very big, and from the east side of the city, the fire was blazing, and the people sent to check it and came back and said that it had burned a piece."

The old lady almost collapsed to the ground, "Quick! Prepare the carriage and go to the Gongyuan! ”

Su Huai immediately turned his head and ran, who expected the voice of the old lady to come from behind him.

"Slow, fast! The old man wants to enter the palace to face the saint. ”

Old Lady Su said and turned around and went back to bed.

"What's the matter, it's the Gongyuan that caught fire? How so? The fire is not serious. When the old lady heard the voice, she immediately came out of the room, her face full of anxiety.

She didn't care about that concubine, and she didn't care whether Su Yizhao was important to the whole clan or not, she just thought that Su Yijue was her precious grandson!

"Change my clothes, I want to enter the palace to face the saint."

The old lady knew that he couldn't panic now, so he took off his coat with trembling hands.

"Sir! What about Jue'er? Did he come out? The old lady was already panicking, and just asked hard.

"Change my clothes quickly, it's too late." The old lady had tears in his eyes and pushed the old lady.

"I'm going to beg the emperor to open the dragon gate! They are all children of my Su family, they can't die! ”

Uncle Zhong quickly ran to the main courtyard of the fourth room, "Quick! What about people? Hurry up and report that the Gongyuan is on fire! ”

"Sir! Wake up, the Tribute Courtyard is on fire! ”

Uncle Zhong was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, the seventh young master was still in the Tribute Courtyard!

Su Wenqing, who was sleeping in a daze, heard Zhongbo's shouts and immediately jumped up from the bed.

Su Jinxun passed by Changmen Street in Dongcheng in a carriage, he lifted the curtain and looked out, and when he saw that the sky above the Gongyuan was burned red, he was immediately paralyzed in the carriage with fright.

"It's over! Finished! ”

When the carriage arrived outside the palace gate, Su Jinxun climbed down from the carriage, his legs were weak, he didn't stop, and fell to the ground.

The guards looked at Su Jinxun, who came so early, and couldn't help but wonder, this is still more than half an hour away from the early dynasty?

One of the guards shouted, "Master Su! You ......"

Su Jinxun trembled and took out his tooth card from his arms, and he grabbed the guard's hand.

"Quick! I want to face the saint and report it to me immediately. ”

The fire was raging, and many people were awakened by the fire in the Gongyuan, and everyone was clamoring to put out the fire, but the door of the Gongyuan was firmly locked and they couldn't enter at all.

The night was finally cut through, Su Jinxun glanced at the sky, and then his heart was like ashes.

He waited outside for half an hour, but the emperor did not summon him.

His heart was completely cold, but it was only one night, and he was exhausted.

"Sir! The fire seems to be under control. Su Huai rushed back from the Gongyuan again, and he hurriedly reported it.

"Got it?" Su Jinxun asked blankly.

"Yes! It seems to be a little smaller than before. Su Huai nodded again and again.

"It's been burning for so long, what else can there be?" Old lady Su couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Is the Tribute Courtyard open?" Su Jinxun asked again.

"Not yet." Su Huai didn't know what to say, and he was a little hateful at this moment.

"Huh? Lord Su, this is already here? A courtier was about to come to the court, and when he saw Su Jinxun sitting on the ground, he said loudly.

Who doesn't know that the Su family has two juniors in the spring? They don't know how to comfort them, with such a big fire, there is little hope of survival, right?

"Master Su, the fire has been controlled, and it will soon be time to open the Dragon Gate."

More and more courtiers came one after another, and they all came early today.

"The emperor has an order, go to the court in advance today, please line up and enter the court immediately."
