But Zhaoji himself was still angry, and called several mothers-in-law who served Meng Ji to scold: "My sister is not sensible, you are all serving the old, don't you know this truth? Don't pretend to be stupid for me, fool the master to make more supplements, you can pass some oil and water from the middle. Now listen carefully, if there is anything wrong with Meng Ji and the child, none of you will want to hide from it, and sell the border land!"

The mother-in-law below was so frightened that they couldn't help but beg for mercy.

The grandmother who came with her to marry was very worried about the master's body, but the house doctor didn't care, saying that the lady occasionally got angry, scolded a scene, and had some depression, which was not a bad thing, and it was much better than blocking the lovesickness and sorrow. Mama was silent------

In autumn and August, the summer heat gradually dissipates, and the air in the morning and evening has a little coolness of early autumn.

Zhao Ji made a fire, feeling a little tired, and took advantage of a little leisure before dinner, and squinted on the couch for a while. I didn't want to, so I fell asleep. When I woke up, I found that the sky was already dark, with half of the misty gray and blue that was reluctant to go, and a few faint oranges were added in the distance, reflecting the leaves in the courtyard with a little decadence. A few residual lotus plants by the pond swayed slightly in the wind, which was very moving.

The cool evening air lifts your spirits. When she walked out of the dormitory, she saw Mibo waiting for her under the porch, looking anxious, could something big happen? It must be known that for more than a month, Uncle Mi has never set foot in the backyard.

Before he could sit down, he hurriedly asked how the situation was outside.

Mi Bo arched his hand, looking nervous: "Madam, there are always some people who are not in the same place in our prime minister's mansion these days, and the old slave feels that the situation is not right."

"What's wrong?"

"Ever since Xiang Ye beheaded those arsonists, my brother has had a lot of eyes and often sends some people out to the market to find out the news. These days, there have always been rumors that the closure of Hokyo is led by Xiangye, saying that everyone is trapped in the city and will only die of the epidemic one by one. If you want to survive, you can only take the Prime Minister's Mansion and Xiangye to get out of the city and find a way out of the city for yourself and your family."

"How can that be?" Zhaoji was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this: "Does Xiangye know?"

"Madam, Xiangye is busy with the affairs of the royal city and comforting the people in the city, and he has no time to take care of his own family. What the old slave is worried about is that someone will take the opportunity to incite the mob to riot and attack the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Ah------h After thinking for a while, her face sank: "Mibo, mobilize all the guests and soldiers in the mansion, close the door of the mansion from now on, and enter and exit with the token of the prime minister's mansion. The guards are divided into three shifts, rotating day and night, and it is not a mistake."

"No!"

In the early autumn, the wind blows, and it moves quickly among the trees, like a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows, sizzling and spitting its core. Summoning himself to look up at the sky, the night is as dark as ink, the moon is dark and the stars are sparse, and the boundless darkness covers the sky. The surroundings are full of servant women and mothers, but they are so quiet that they can hear the needles falling. The silence was as terrible as the darkness, thought to himself.

At the time of the lamp, Zhao Ji sat upright at the desk, the door was open, and he quietly read the simple book, trying to calm his heart. Suddenly, a little girl beside me exclaimed, "Look, there's water over there!"

Everyone hurriedly turned around and looked along the little girl's arm, only to see high smoke rising in the distance, and the billowing fire spread far away. At night, the sky was like a light-colored cloth stained with soot, inky black and thick and light, lined with the last remaining halo of Jin Wuxi, and the flames in the distance were dazzling and thrilling.

"Madame-------, isn't that the way it is?" The old lady was shocked.

Zhaoji nodded silently: "Such a high fire, it is not a house in the city, it must be a fire in a very high house------- it should be the main hall of the palace."

- The curtain has finally opened.

Since the young son of heaven Ji Hu was trapped in the palace, there has been an undercurrent surging inside and outside the capital of this pickaxe. Everyone knows that Ji Hu is not married, has no children and has no children, if he unfortunately dies of the epidemic in the palace, then the throne should be the turn of several royal brothers. The three princes, the fourth prince, although the royal father is young, occupies the position of a concubine, and has the support of the auxiliary government and the prince; Although the second prince was born and was far away as the king and eunuch in Jianghan, he received strong support from the Marquis.

If Zhou Li's Wang Jihu and the fourth prince's imperial father both died, then the second prince's father would undoubtedly be the first-order heir to the throne. But how can these two obstacles be removed at the same time?

Now that the palace is on fire, and the fate of the young son of heaven is worrying, who will be next? Although Zhaoji knows that the emperor's father is no longer in Zhaogongfu, others don't know! This will be the target of those who seek positions, that's for sure.

Then let them come! Summoning one's heart, bright as the moon in the sky. Like every beginning of life, like every bud moving when it blooms, my heart is there, and it is immortal.

It was the royal palace that caught fire, the temple where the middle palace was located, to be exact.

When the first five watches of the city started fighting, a fierce fire engulfed the three major halls in the front, middle and back of the middle palace. The tall and majestic palace was ablaze, and the palace where the queens lived was reduced to ashes in an instant.

The people in the palace watched the fire in panic but no one put out the fire, and people said that they saw with their own eyes that the fire fell from the sky, and it was the fire of heaven, and it was the evil retribution of the heavens to destroy these infected people.

Only the guards guarding the middle palace knew what was going on. When the five watchmen fought fiercely, the woods around the middle palace suddenly fired a salvo of thousands of crossbows, and the rockets wrapped in cloth and penetrated with fierce fire oil suddenly rose into the air, rushing from the sky to the three halls, followed by a sea of flames.

At the same time, a mysterious team of horses galloped all the way in the direction of the palace where the king of Zhou lived, killing anyone they met. Countless chamberlains and palace maids who didn't have time to dodge died under the scimitar------

Of course, it's not without survivors. When the fire started, Shufei was startled by the noise, and quickly found the dog hole under the palace wall on the west side of the row house, and quietly drilled out. After a while, it disappeared into the night------

"Oh no, oh no! Wake up quickly------" Zhou Li Wang Jihu, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by two withered arms, and opened his hazy sleepy eyes leisurely, and saw the anxious and ravine-filled face of the waiter. His apprentice Qi Zhong followed behind him, holding a kudzu cloth robe in his hand.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Ji Hu had already heard the noise and the sound of clanging weapons outside, and his heart suddenly became agitated, and he asked urgently.

"It's too late!" The chamberlain Jia grabbed the Ge cloth robe and hurriedly changed Ji Hu's clothes, while explaining, "The palace gate guards have rebelled, and they have actually led a team of lynx killers in! They first laid an ambush around the Middle Palace, set fire to the Middle Palace, and spread rumors that all the infected people in the Middle Palace had run away and were wandering around the Inner Palace. They took the opportunity to kill people on a large scale, and now ------ is coming towards the main hall! It's too late, my lord!"

"Foxy?" Ji Hu felt incredible: "The four gates of Hojing have been closed, where did the lynx people come from?"

"Oh, my lord, it's only been less than half a month since the city gates were closed, and those lynxes are afraid that they have been hiding in the city for a long time." The chamberlain Jia hastily tied Ji Hu's belt and muttered, "King, they must be here for you!" Ehou ------I'm afraid that he has already made an appointment with the Monkey to set up the second prince and share the world of the Great Zhou!"

"They don't want to!" Ji Hu calmed down a little in anger, and asked, "Since the thief has been killed, then Gu can't escape if he goes out now?"

"Don't worry, king!" The chamberlain Jia walked around behind the bed tent, and did not know what was being done, but only heard a muffled sound, followed by the sound of heavy objects moving. Suddenly, I heard him whisper, "All right, King, come!"

When Ji Hu arrived at the tent, he was immediately surprised. I saw a dark and secluded hole appear on the wall, and a gust of wind suddenly rose, blowing his hair in all directions.

"How can this ------- have a secret passage? I've lived here for a few years, and I don't even know it?" Ji Hu was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

"There's no time to elaborate, King, get in quickly!" The chamberlain Jia took a wind lamp on the wall, handed it to his apprentice Qi Zhong, turned to face Ji Hu and said, "My lord, my apprentice has worked hard since elementary school, and I will definitely be able to protect you. At least he'll tell you more about the whole story!"

"What?" Ji Hu was taken aback: "Aren't you ------ you going with Lone?"

A smile suddenly appeared on the face of the chamberlain Jia Gully: "King, it's rare for you to care so much about the old slave

。 The entrance to the cave could only be closed from the outside, and the old slave had to stay. Don't worry, the king entrusted you to the old slave, and the old slave must be faithful!"

Ji Hu's heart warmed, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Aja------ the edict of the former king has been burned, but Aja, Lone is doing this for your good!"

"Don't say it, don't say it." The chamberlain Jia wiped the corners of his eyes and said with emotion, "The old slave knows, the king should leave quickly, it will be too late!"

"Aja------" Ji Hu grabbed the sleeve of the inner servant Jia: "Send someone to summon Ji Duoyou in the district and pass on the lonely word, as long as he can quell the rebellion, everything will not be blamed in the past." Aja, if you get out of danger this time, you will be rich and noble with Aja!"

"King Xie!" The chamberlain Jia turned his head and told his apprentice: "Be careful to protect the king, there must be no mistakes!"

"No!"

The two of them bowed down and entered the secret passage, and when they reluctantly turned their heads to look, the wall was slowly closing, and the face of the inner servant Jia Cangsang was gone.

The two of them walked in the narrow and dark passage for as long as a hundred years, except for a small area under their feet illuminated by the wind lamp, the rest was a darkness, boundless darkness. In the darkness with no end in sight, there seem to be countless hidden demons and monsters, ready to pounce at any time.
