Who is trying to harm their mother and son?
After a while, like madness, he rushed into the fire, and no matter what, he was going to find them, to make sure they were alive or dead!
However, the entourage who arrived later grabbed him tightly: "The emperor's weight, it is dangerous here, please leave quickly--ya"
"Let go of me—" he roared, "get out of the way, don't stop me—"
"Your Majesty, no, you can't stay here, it's too dangerous here-"
No matter how angry he roared and struggled, a large group of followers dared to let him take the risk and dragged him away.
Although many officers and soldiers and guards rushed to put out the fire, everyone knew that the fire was too late!
Long Yuanli was tightly pulled by a large group of people, unable to move, just crying, looking at the skyrocketing fire, where is she? Where is the baby?
The fire burned for a long time, and the firefighting lasted for a long time, and no one was rescued from the fire, and when the fire was finally extinguished, the officers and soldiers who put out the fire came to report: "Your Majesty, no living ...... have been found."
His eyes darkened, and he said in a dumb voice: "Is there any, is there a child...... ......"
"Your Majesty, the search has not been completed, and it has not been found yet, but the fire is so big that it is difficult to find survivors...... Match"
Long Yuanli only felt that his eyes were black for a while, and his body was already crumbling, no, he couldn't fall down, he had to wait until the search was over to make sure that she and the child were okay, however, the physical exhaustion and mental trauma hit, his body softened, fell down, and fell into a coma.
When he woke up, it had been more than half a day, the fire scene had been cleaned up, and a total of more than a dozen bodies had been found, unable to distinguish gender and age, as for the child's body, it was not found, but, such a big fire, even if it was really a baby killed, it was normal to not find the body.
Long Yuanli listened to the report, just drank tea silently and was silent for a long time.
He rather, no, he had to believe that the woman and the child were all right—that the scourge had been left for a thousand years, and that woman had not done enough of the scourge, how could she die? Moreover, hadn't she almost died many times before, and which time had she not been able to turn evil into good fortune? This time, she would have been in great trouble!
Yes, it must be so! He must believe in the woman, he must believe in the child who is favored by the heavens at first sight!
After a long time, he said slowly, "Have you found out the cause of the fire?"
"Your Majesty, Master Xiu is stepping up his investigation, and there is no ......result yet."
Long Yuanli slowly closed his eyes: "You go out first, let Xiuya report to me as soon as he has eyebrows!"
After the servants had withdrawn, he sat down at the table alone, looking at the leafy and magnificent outside, and his heart was full of worry and heartache, what would he do if, if she and the child had three long and two short? What should he do?
Don't say it's death, even if the mother and son are missing arms and legs or are kidnapped and imprisoned, he will be in pain worse than death!
Thinking of this, he forced himself to cheer up, stuffed the food on the table into his mouth fiercely, felt that he had some strength, and changed his clothes and went out: "I want to go out, you go out with me!"
He's going to find out what's going on!
When he came to the small alley, many officers and soldiers were still searching the ruins, cleaning up the broken bricks and broken charcoal, and he came to the courtyard and searched carefully.
The once warm and comfortable courtyard has become a ruin, gray, where is there still a little life?
He searched every inch and corner, hoping to find clues about the mother and son, there were no bones of a baby, no bones of a dog, where did the god of war go? With its size, if it was really killed in a fire, it was impossible for the bones not to be found, and its sense of smell and touch was so sensitive, it should have discovered the crisis earlier than others, where did it go?
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he shouted: "Come on, clean up this piece of masonry immediately!"
He remembered that there was a basement in the house to store miscellaneous items, maybe it wasn't burned, maybe someone was hiding there and escaped!
A large number of officers and soldiers ran over, and it didn't take long for the front to be cleaned up, he lay on the ground and fumbled for a while, and finally found a cover, and when he opened the cover, a cool air came up, and he shouted to the basement: "Is there anyone--is there inside--hey-"
"Wang-" came the familiar barking.
Overjoyed, he jumped out of the basement: "God of War - are you here?"
A huge black shadow ran over and pounced on him, barking incessantly: "Wangwang-"
Long Yuanli hugged it in surprise and kept touching its head: "God of War, it's great that you're still alive!
Soon, he brushed away the god of war's head and said urgently, "What about the woman? What about the baby? Where are they?"
The basement is not big, I can see it at a glance, except for the God of War, there is no shadow of Bian Xin's mother and son, and his heart is suddenly hanging into the air again!
The god of war seemed to understand his words, lowered his head, and whined like a ......cry.
Long Yuanli's heart immediately cooled, and it was dark in front of him, and after a while, he hugged the god of war, gently stroked its back, and said, "I know, I don't blame you, let's find out their mother and son together, they will be fine......"
He pulled the god of war out of the basement, looked around, and touched the god of war's head: "You smell it, but what clues do you have?"
The god of war sniffed, quickly wilted his head, and shook his head with a "whin", the smell of gunpowder here was too strong, and it was impossible to smell anything at all.
Long Yuanli was disappointed, so he had to take the god of war and search the entire alley inside and out, repeatedly, however, until it was dark, he did not find any trace of Bian Xin's mother and son.
Late at night, he and the god of war returned to the palace, standing in the courtyard, looking at the half-round crescent moon, in a daze.
Now, he didn't care about keeping Bian Xin's affairs secret, so he sent people to post her portraits everywhere, and sent a large number of people to search the whole city, he only hoped that by casting a net everywhere, he could find clues about the mother and son or the mother and son.
What about Xiuya? How did he find out? That alley was bought by him, and he also arranged for people to monitor it, and no one knew better than him what happened in the alley, did he already have eyebrows?
He was tired, but he didn't feel sleepy, anxious and anxious, expecting some news to comfort him.
It wasn't until after midnight that Xiu Ya rushed back to the palace, and as soon as he saw him, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister conducted a careful investigation around the alley and found that the fire may have been caused by man......"
Long Yuanli grabbed him by the collar and said sharply: "Who set the fire? Catch me, I will divide his five horses!"
Xiu Ya shook his head: "The minister hasn't found ...... yet."
Long Yuanli roared: "Aren't you responsible for the security there? Didn't you say that everything was well arranged? You went out all day and didn't find anything, what are you doing when you come back?"
Xiu Ya knew that he was angry, and he didn't argue, but said: "The minister asked a lot of surrounding residents, and also found a few surviving guards, and the information he got was that in the past month or so, a group of suspicious strange characters have often appeared near the alley, inquired about things in the alley, and tried to enter the alley to investigate, but they were all secretly transferred and driven away by the guards......"
Long Yuanli stared at him fiercely: "They put the fire? If so, they will be wanted, and they will be found out at any cost, and the Nine Clans will be punished!"
Xiu Ya said: "I don't know the origin of these people yet, I only know that these people are quite well-established, and they are well-trained, and they are all cautious, I am afraid that the other party is also a court or official figure......
Long Yuanli smiled cruelly: "No matter how big it is, it's not as big as me!" You go and find out the other party, and I'll see who dares to touch my head!"
Xiu Ya said: "I heard from the surviving guards that before the fire broke out, a group of black-clothed masked people entered the alley, shot a large number of rockets and torches into and threw them into the courtyards on both sides, and the fire quickly ignited, and these people did not stop, they ran away after setting the fire, and the people who were caught also committed suicide on the spot, and they did not give a chance to talk at all! These people came prepared at this time, according to the minister, they were going for the lady and the little master, not for the emperor! The other party seems to know the emperor's whereabouts quite well, I am afraid that the people around the emperor are there...... ”
Long Yuanli gritted his teeth: "Who would want the lives of their mother and son?"
Xiu Ya lowered his eyes: "The ones who can't tolerate the lady, mother and son the most are probably these concubines in the palace......"
Boom - Long Yuanli only felt as if a thunderbolt had struck him, he let go of Xiu Ya, staggered back a few steps, clutched his chest and said, "You mean...... The women of the palace found out about her and wanted to get rid of her? How could it be...... She is no longer a concubine, and she is not a threat to the women in the palace at all......"
Xiu Li sighed in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, although Madame is no longer a concubine in the palace, she is the emperor's favorite woman, and she also gave birth to a dragon son for the emperor, the emperor is usually extremely cold to the concubines in the palace, but he often sneaks out of the palace in private to visit Madame......
Long Yuanli was in a cold sweat when he heard this: "Even if it is jealousy, is it necessary to do such a vicious thing?"
Xiu Ya said: "Your Majesty, the women in this palace, in order to get the emperor's favor, for power and status, can do anything!"
"Why ...... like this," Long Yuanli muttered, leaning against the wall, speechless.
She had said many times that the palace was dangerous, she didn't dare to give birth in the palace, and she was worried that she and the child's existence would be known by the palace, and he didn't take it too seriously, and always felt that he would be able to protect her, but was he wrong?
