Chapter 62: The explosion of Miaochun Pavilion

The sudden loud noise brought a lot of excitement to the lonely and calm night.

The people who were silent in their sleep were also awakened by this sudden loud noise, and hurriedly ordered the people to go and find out what was going on.

Under this loud sound, the Nishang Lake also boiled in an instant.

The people who were having fun in the lake were frightened by the sound of the huge explosion, and they cried out for help in panic. Suddenly there were cries, cries for help, and angry scolding.

I don't know if it's because the officials of this era know how to work hard, but before it was time for tea, they hurriedly came over to maintain order, and under the command of the official master, they began to put out fires and save people in an orderly manner!

……

"Your Majesty! Emperor! Oh no! Something happened! A eunuch called out anxiously to the emperor.

"What's wrong? So panicked?! The emperor's displeased voice came from the house.

"Your Majesty! Myochun Pavilion was burned! The eunuch hurried to pray.

"Burn it, burn it! What is there to fuss about. A small Miaochun Pavilion is just a fire extinguishing situation under construction in the future! If there's nothing particularly important, just step down! The emperor who hugged the beauty fell asleep because of hard work, but he was woken up before he slept for long, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

The eunuch who was telling outside the door had no choice but to keep silent when he saw that the emperor was angry, pacing back and forth outside the door, and his face was full of anxious looks, which fully showed the urgency of the matter.

Inside the house.

The imperial concubine was also woken up by the eunuch's sharp and anxious announcement, opened her hazy eyes, nestled in the emperor's arms, and kept drawing circles on his chest, "Your Majesty, since you came to confess in the middle of the night, it must be a very important matter, and it is better to let the subordinates come in and explain it in detail." "As soon as the imperial concubine woke up from her sleep, she heard the eunuch outside the door say that something had happened to Miaochun Pavilion, thinking that Bi Yuntao would go to Miaochun Pavilion for a banquet today, and she was afraid that something would happen to her son, but she couldn't cross the emperor and let the eunuch come in to tell her, so she had to tactfully let the emperor meet the eunuch who told her.

The emperor kissed the forehead of the imperial concubine lovingly, "Have you woken up the concubine?!" The emperor was woken up by his subordinates, and he was still a little annoyed, but when he saw the beauty in his arms, he also woke up, and was teased by the imperial concubine like this, where could he still take care of the eunuchs outside the door, and the anger surged, turned over and got on the horse, and suppressed the imperial concubine's body.

"Your Majesty!" The imperial concubine turned her head, stretched out her soft wattle to block the emperor's kiss, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty!" It's important to get down to business, it's right to deal with it, the concubine has time to accompany you! ”

"Hey!" The emperor also knew that the business was important, frowning and couldn't help sighing, so he reluctantly climbed up from the imperial concubine.

"Your Majesty! The concubine changes clothes for you! The imperial concubine got up and picked up the clothes scattered all over the place and changed the clothes for the emperor herself. Of course, the emperor naturally can't easily let go of the beauty who changes his clothes, and he dishonestly goes up and down, which makes the imperial concubine resentful again.

After several twists and turns, the emperor finally finished changing his clothes under the service of the imperial concubine, of course, the imperial concubine was also panting, and the emperor also suffered a lot of white eyes and anger.

"Say it! What the hell is important?! Come in the middle of the night and disturb my rest! The emperor took a sip of tea and looked at the imperial concubine behind the veil, and asked the kneeling eunuch absentmindedly, his mind full of the scene of changing his clothes just now.

"Back to the emperor! A fire broke out in Myochun Pavilion, and Lord Zuo Xiang had already led someone to put out the fire, but ......"

"But what? Hurry up! The emperor put down the teacup heavily and made a loud noise.

The imperial concubine hid behind the veil and heard the word but, and thought of Bi Yuntao going to Miaochun Pavilion for a banquet today, afraid of learning bad news about him. Although the eunuch's next words did not mention what she was worried about, she still couldn't help but worry about Bi Yuntao.

Seeing that the emperor's anger had not subsided, the eunuch trembled all over, trembling and hurriedly made amends, "The emperor forgives the sin, and the left minister asked the little one to tell the emperor, saying that the three princes held a banquet in Miaochun Pavilion at that time, and now they are doing their best to save each other." ”

Hearing that the three princes were holding a banquet in Miaochun Pavilion, the emperor couldn't help frowning, but when he heard that the three princes had an accident and didn't care about the emperor's demeanor and etiquette, the emperor was taken aback, "What did you say?!" Why didn't you say it earlier?! Angrily slapped the table, "Come on, pull him down for me and behead him, I'm so angry!" ”

"Your Majesty! Spare your life! The eunuch knelt on the ground, trembling in fear and kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Your Majesty! Ask for a meeting! At this time, a guard was outside the house to give a message. Very good, Zuo Xiang's ancestral secret technique interrupting technique has been activated again.

"Please! Wait a minute! The emperor thought that the imperial concubine was still on the side, so he hurriedly called the guards, "Let the left minister go to the imperial study to see me!" ”

"As for you!" The emperor looked coldly at the eunuch kneeling on the ground. The imperial concubine, who was originally soft and fell on the bed, heard that something had happened to the third prince, and Zuo Xiang came to the emperor to discuss things again, and her heart tightened for no reason, where was she still sitting, she quickly got up and dressed, and stopped the emperor at the same time, "Your Majesty, just spare his life first, doesn't Lord Zuo Xiang still have something important to look for you?" Go to the discussion, don't miss the right thing for the sake of a subordinate. ”

When the emperor saw the imperial concubine pleading, he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, knowing that the business was important. "Humph! Since the imperial concubine intercedes for you, I will spare you today! After speaking, he went directly to the imperial study.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, concubine! The eunuch kowtowed again and again in thanksgiving.

Seeing that the emperor had gone away, the imperial concubine spoke, "Okay!" The emperor is gone! Get up and talk to Hongu about what happened today. ”

The eunuch quickly got up and said what he knew respectfully.

"That's it! You go down first, and call Xiaolan to the palace! Seeing that the eunuch didn't know much, he waved his hand impatiently and asked him to go down and call Xiaolan.

Xiao Lan, who was waiting outside the house, learned that the imperial concubine had summoned her, rubbed her eyes a little worriedly, and hurriedly entered the room.

"Concubine Niangniang!" Xiaolan, who was summoned by the retreating eunuch, entered the house and called the imperial concubine, who was anxiously pacing back and forth.

"Xiaolan, you hurry up to the Qi Palace, check out Tao'er's news, today is the day when the three princes feast on Tao'er, and now the three princes have an accident, and they don't know Tao'er's situation, and the palace is worried. The subordinates also don't know much about the whole thing, and the palace is afraid that Tao'er will miss something...... "The imperial concubine who came back to her senses saw Xiaolan and anxiously ordered Xiaolan.

When Xiaolan heard that King Qi had an accident, she was also very anxious, and couldn't help but worry about him.

The imperial concubine had long been worried about chaos, and she didn't see the worry on Xiaolan's face at all. continued to instruct Xiaolan, "If you don't see anyone in the Qi Palace, you can go to the Zuo Xiangfu to have a look, Meng Ruolang follows Tao'er all day long, I think he knows Tao'er's current situation best!" ”

"Yes!" Xiaolan took a deep breath, restrained her mood, quickly nodded in response, and then tapped her toes on the ground, used light power to fly out of the window, and disappeared in a few breaths.

"Tao'er! Don't let anything happen to you! The imperial concubine looked out the window in a daze, worried about Bi Yuntao.

……

The Imperial Study.

"Knock on the emperor! My Emperor ......"

"That's it! Excuse me! As soon as the emperor entered the imperial study, he waved his hand directly at Zuo Xiang and stopped Zuo Xiang's salute.

The emperor took the tea handed over by the people, played with the tea leaves in the teacup, and asked, "How is Yun Peng?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zuo Xiang thanked him. "Back to the emperor! The third prince no longer has to worry about his life, but ......" Zuo Xiang hesitated.

When the emperor heard this pause, he had a headache, couldn't help pinching his eyebrows, and said unhappily: "But what?!" Why are you all babbling today, if you have anything, just say it! ”

Zuo Xiang naturally didn't know what happened before, and he didn't understand why the emperor would say such a sentence, but when he saw the anger on the emperor's face, he quickly bowed down and replied with the doubts in his heart.

"Although the third prince is not worried about his life, he has a broken leg, and the old minister also found the only half of the body of Shen Xu, the son of the Hubu Shangshu family."

"Ahem!" The emperor choked on the tea, "You mean that the son of Tobe Shangshu, who is old and has a son, is also there?" And still dead?! ”

"Yes! The old minister has already asked the girls of Miaochun Pavilion, saying that today is the third prince to set up a banquet in Miaochun Pavilion, and the king of Qi will be invited, and the people who accompany him are Shen Xu, the son of the Hubu Shangshu family, and Han Wuyong, the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites. It was convenient for Han Wuyong to go out at that time, so he was spared! ”

"What about King Qi?!" When the emperor heard that Bu Yuntao was also there, he didn't care to ask how the third prince's injury was, and anxiously asked about Bi Yuntao's situation.

Seeing that the emperor was so impatient, Zuo Xiang hurriedly spoke out to appease the emperor, "Your Majesty! Calm down! Lao Chen didn't find the figure of King Qi, but only found the head of a charred woman and Shen Xu's half-cut body. And the old minister has already confirmed that there is a jade pendant engraved with Shen Xu's vague words on his waist in half of his body. ”

"Whew!" The emperor exhaled a sigh of relief, slumped in the chair, and wiped the sweat from his forehead because of anxiety and panic without a trace.

The emperor calmed down and asked the question in his heart. "How is Yun Peng doing now?! Why is Shen Xu left half of his body, and what is the matter with that woman's head?! Do you know how Myochun Pavilion caught fire? ”

"Back to the emperor! The third prince is no longer in serious trouble, and is now recuperating from the imperial doctor. There was a loud bang before the fire broke out, and then a fire broke out. ”

"You mean there was a loud bang, and then the Miaochun Pavilion was on fire?!"

"Yes! Now that the fire has been extinguished, the old minister sent someone to check it, and the cause of the fire should be this thing! As for why Shen Xu only had half of his body and that woman's head left, it was because of this thing! Before the words fell, Zuo Xiang took out a cylindrical object from his sleeve that had not had time to burn and explode, which was the explosives that Bi Yuntao had placed in Miaochun Pavilion before.

"What is this?!" The emperor took the items handed by Zuo Xiang and looked left and right, which was very incomprehensible.

"Back to the emperor! This item has similarities with the Skyquake Thunder of our Ordnance Department, and it is more powerful than the Skyquake Thunder! ”

When the emperor heard the word earth-shaking thunder, his hands playing with explosives couldn't help but tremble, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his body stiffened, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, staring at the earth-shaking thunder in his hand motionlessly.
