Chapter 523: Suddenly
After Mu Ying died, Mu Lan wanted to replace Mu Ying and become her aunt's "new favorite". After the matter of the two lives of the good nobleman came to an end, she was forced to enter the palace as a concubine, and although her aunt promoted her, she was still lukewarm to her.
Mu Lan didn't know what she was doing badly, but she also realized that Mu Guifei and Mu Ying didn't seem to have a simple aunt-nephew relationship, so she took the opportunity to ask her mother, Mrs. Mu, but Mrs. Mu didn't dare to confide in her daughter, and only said that she should not try to please Mu Guifei, otherwise she would only be used by the other party.
But now Ryuya came to her and said that the time had come for her to be faithful to her aunt.
What do you mean? What is my aunt going to ask her to do?
She looked at Ryuya and quickly pretended to be casual and said, "Get up, it's none of your business, it's the palace itself that doesn't stand firm."
Lu Ye thanked him again and again, and when he got up, he whispered, "I saw the opportunity to kill the envoy Huo Jiao."
Mu Lan gasped, and was held by Yuji on the side, she quickly put away her shocked look, and walked out of the hall with stiff steps.
Killed Chongnan's envoys? What happens after that?
There will be disputes between Chongnan and Dajing!
Why did my aunt provoke the dispute between Dajing and Chongnan?
Mu Lan followed behind the crowd, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the five princes of Chongnan and the envoy Huo Jiao. The opportunity is fleeting, will she do it or not?
Yes, if something happens, many people will find a way to solve it, and there is room for reversal. If she doesn't do it, what she is facing may be her aunt's revenge, and there is no room for maneuver!
Now it is no longer a question of whether she pleases her aunt or not......
Mu Lan quickly pondered in his heart, and whispered a few words in Yuji's ear.
Yuji's face turned pale, she bit her lip and nodded, and did as she was told.
Yunjing Terrace is quite high, and the wind is a little strong tonight, and with a light blow, the fire spreads rapidly.
The palace was in chaos, some people went inside to put out the fire, and some people ran outside.
There were also a few timid palace maids who were so frightened that they were colorless, screaming desperately, standing in place at a loss.
Before Queen Wang could speak, Mu Guifei pointed angrily at those people and said, "Drag a few of them down for me and cut them down on the spot!"
The palace people were frightened when they heard this, and then they restrained themselves and quieted down.
Seeing this, Mu Guifei said softly to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it is better to immediately mobilize the forbidden army to guard everywhere, so that no one will take advantage of the chaos."
The emperor glanced at her and waved her hand to do it.
The fire at night was striking and unusual, and the tongue of fire was swept by the night wind and raged everywhere, rushing to the eaves and roof tiles, crackling and exploding the tiles, even though everyone had tried their best to put out the fire, but the fire was too big, and the water turned into smoke.
Because the fire was burned from the apse, the people in the front hall were fine, but the palace people who were waiting in the apse suffered, and I don't know how many people could escape this fate.
The forbidden army escorted the emperor and queen to retreat under Yunjing Terrace. The others also stumbled along with their maids. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Oh no! Princess Ancheng went to the apse to change her clothes, and she won't see anyone yet!"
Li Qingyi was shocked when she heard this, and Queen Wang's legs were even weaker when she heard this, "What? Ancheng in the apse?"
Helian Rong was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Princess An Cheng, but Her Royal Highness the princess who came out of Dajing?"
The emperor glanced at him with heavy eyes, and took the lead to go down the steps of the front hall and go around the back hall. However, the beams of the apse had been burned down, the doors had been blocked, and several chamberlains with blackened faces were fighting the fire.
The queen was so frightened that she almost fainted, and the emperor couldn't be indifferent at this time, and said angrily: "Send someone to find the princess immediately!"
However, with such a big fire in the apse, it is possible that if you rush in, you may not be able to get out, and the palace people who are fighting the fire will not move forward.
Helian Rong wanted to say something, but suddenly found that Huo Jiao beside him was missing. Just as he was about to ask the attendants beside him, he saw a burning man running out from the middle of the burned beams!
The man howled hysterically in terror as he frantically slapped the burning spots on his body, but his hands were on fire
The latter also burned in an instant, and everyone listened to him screaming miserably, watching him run around like crazy to put out the fire, and they didn't dare to move forward at all!
Mu Guifei shouted in horror "Escort"! Only then did the guards react and surrounded the emperor and others in the middle to protect them.
Someone on the side of the firefighting attendant finally reacted, carrying a bucket of water and splashing it, but because he was rolling all over the ground, it didn't have much effect at all.
"Hojo?!" Helian Rong was very familiar with Huo Jiao's voice, but because he was screaming too fiercely, he could barely distinguish it, "Save people! Help!"
The others were also shocked, didn't Huo Jiao follow behind Helian Rong all the time? When did you go to the apse?
At this time, more palace people rushed over with water, and under the splash, the fire on Huo Jiao's body was finally extinguished, but his head and face were already burned black, and he was not human.
Helian Rong ran to his side, but he didn't dare to touch it, looked back at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty! You have to give me an account!"
The emperor had a calm face, and Concubine Mu said on the side, "Hurry up and call someone to ask for a doctor!"
The atmosphere was suppressed for a while, Mu Lan's face was hidden in the shadows, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, reflecting the light and darkness of the fire.
I didn't expect this level to pass so easily!
"Found the princess!"
Su Rong, the female official beside the queen, ran over quickly, barely held her breath, and said, "Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness the princess has been found!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone had already seen Princess An Cheng's figure hurriedly coming over here, "Why did you suddenly go out of the water?"
The queen hurriedly went over to see if her daughter was injured, and asked, "Where have you been?"
Princess An Cheng didn't know that everyone thought she was buried in the fire, and wondered: "I went to the apse to change my clothes, and then went to the Taiye Pool to breathe, and it only took a while, why did such an accident happen?"
Everyone had questions in their hearts, so no one answered her.
When Queen Wang saw that they were fine, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
The daughter was fine, but the Chongnan envoy was seriously injured by the fire, and life and death were only on the line at this time.
Princess An Cheng looked very bad at her father and queen mother, and then she saw that there was a doctor over there who was treating a person who was burnt all over, and she was shocked, and threw an inquiring look at Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi shook her head, signaling that this was not the time for her to elaborate, and Princess An Cheng also kept silent.
And Helian Rong was standing beside Huo Jiao, and when he heard that Princess An Cheng had found it, he looked back and looked over here, and happened to collide with Princess An Cheng's gaze.
Princess An Cheng is a young girl, and she is a little dignified and quiet in her agility, safe and beautiful.
Helian Rong's gaze fell on her face, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes. The woman in Chongnan is warm and cheerful, and it is rare to see such an elegant and quiet posture as in front of her.
He bowed down to Princess An Cheng and greeted, "Your Royal Highness Princess, it's polite."
