Chapter 578: Saving People
The utility room is sitting south facing north, the door is facing south, the window is in the north, it was originally for simplicity, and the plain window and door are opened, which is convenient for ventilation.
But as soon as the wind blows through the north window this time, the fire burns quickly.
There were very few people who came to change clothes, and they all came from the south, and at first glance, the south side was fine, but who would have thought that the window behind it was on fire.
Those palace people also came to the dressing room, and when they happened to meet Xu Lingyi, they also saluted immediately.
When Xu Lingyi saw them, he smiled and said, "Are you looking for the fourth prince?" I just saw him wandering around the changing room, and I didn't find a suitable place to hide, and then I went to the apse of the Taihe Palace, you go there to find it. ”
"Thank you Xu Lingyi."
Several palace people arched their hands, thinking that Xu Lingyi would not be the one who helped the fourth prince lie, so they immediately went to find it separately.
On the side of the four princes, seeing that the palace people had arrived and had not yet been found, they all felt bored waiting.
Just as I was about to show up on my own, I smelled the mushy smell coming from the north window.
There were big brooms piled up by the window for the minions to sweep the snow, and they were piled up tightly, and the four princes approached and pulled open a layer of them, only to see that the fire was burning into the house, and they were immediately shocked, and hurriedly turned around and ran to the door.
But this time he tugged hard, only to find that at some point, the door was locked from the outside.
Seeing the fire burning into the house, the fourth prince was also in a hurry, and immediately began to knock on the door and call for help.
"Help, help, water, help, open the door!"
But tonight it was windy, and the palace people were taken away by Xu Lingyi, and no one else came here, so naturally no one heard his call for help for a while.
And this fire has always been suffocated by the burning smoke first, and then lost consciousness and slowly died in the fire, which is the case with the four princes.
The space was cramped, the debris burned rapidly, his eyes were choking on smoke, and his nose and throat were burning and painful.
had to kneel on the ground, covering his mouth and nose with one hand, and banging on the door desperately with the other.
And at this time, someone finally came to the side of the changing room, it was Luo Cainu.
"This is my only new dress this year, and it got dirty, it's really annoying, I knew I wouldn't eat that beef meatball, who would have thought that a bite would leak juice!"
"Don't complain, it's not that you're greedy." Yinzhu was helpless, "You better change your coat and go back, the slave heard that there is a pigeon soup at the end." ”
As soon as she heard this, Luo Cainu suddenly came to her senses and quickened her pace.
And when I got closer, I found the utility room at the end of the row of dressing rooms, which seemed to have thick smoke and fire.
When he was stunned, the four princes knocked on the door again.
"Help, help me! Ahem, ahem, ahem! Help me! ”
"Oh no, someone is trapped!"
Luo Cainu had a loud alarm bell in her heart, picked up her skirt and ran over, and immediately found the utility room that was on fire, and immediately shouted.
"It's water, come on, it's water here!"
As he spoke, he reached for the lock.
But how could she easily pull open this iron lock, and the hand she only pulled hurt and was useless.
At that time, the four princes in the house heard the movement and hurriedly spoke.
"Please save me, I am the fourth prince, I am from Yuzhang Palace, my mother is Concubine Zhaogui, cough cough, please, save me!"
As soon as she heard that it was Concubine Zhao's son, Luo Cainu suddenly became even more anxious.
While comforting through the door, take action.
"Fourth Highness, don't worry, I'm Luo Cainu from Yong'an Palace, my maid has already gone to call someone, and it will be fine soon, Your Highness, you cover your mouth and nose and hide elsewhere, I'll try to see if I can kick this door open from the outside!"
The four princes agreed and hid to the side.
Luo Cainu outside charged her strength fiercely, and then ran and rushed forward, kicking the door hard.
This kick also gave her hope, and the door creaked loose.
Yes, the Taihe Hall is not needed several times a year, and the changing rooms will only be repaired a little before major banquets, and this utility room is naturally not repaired by anyone, so although this door is locked and cannot be opened, it can kick the whole door and rescue people.
Seeing that the idea was right, Luo Cainu once again encouraged the four princes to persevere, gritted her teeth, and kicked the door harder again and again.
And at this time, Yinzhu had already called all the palace people around.
Luo Cainu had already worked a lot, and she was about to successfully kick the door open, and the surrounding palace people rushed to help, and several sturdy eunuchs worked together, and kicked the door down in a few strokes.
At that time, the room was already full of smoke and fire, and only the violent coughing from the four princes could be heard.
When everyone was stunned, Luo Cainu gritted her teeth and went straight in.
Fortunately, the fourth prince hid under the wall on the left side of the door, and as soon as Luo Cainu scooped up the person, she quickly ran out, Rao was like this, she also choked and coughed desperately, and her eyes were red.
When Fang Yu arrived, he saw that Luo Cainu, whose hair was scattered, her clothes were burned by the fire, and her face was black and white, was holding the fourth prince in her arms, kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Ji'er!"
Fang Yu's heart was pinched, and he strode towards this side.
But today she attended the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet wearing heavy and gorgeous palace clothes, and when she ran so anxiously, she fell a big heel when she boarded.
Her hand was carrying the hem of her skirt, so she didn't have time to prop it up to the ground, and her chin slammed firmly on the bluestone pavement, and blood flowed immediately.
But Fang Yu didn't care about his injuries, struggled to get up and continued to run over, almost pounced in front of Luo Cainu, knelt on the ground, and took the fourth prince from Luo Cainu's arms.
The fourth prince inhaled a lot of smoke, choked and dizzy, and couldn't say anything about the sore throat at this time.
is also physically exhausted, after seeing Fang Yu at this time, he called the mother concubine in a hoarse voice, closed his eyes and fainted.
"Ji'er, Ji'er, wake up, look at the mother, Ji'er, call the doctor, go and ask the doctor!"
Fang Yu shouted with red eyes like crazy, as if ignoring the eyes of the people around him, picked up the fourth prince and was about to leave.
Pei Yao settled the ministers of the Taihe Palace, and when he hurried over, he saw Fang Yao's clothes stained with mud, his hair scattered, stumbling and holding the four princes and pushing everyone away, walking out like a madman, tears mixed with blood on his face, a dazzling look, as if he was disfigured, embarrassed.
Su Xin and Ruoyu followed her side and wanted to help, but she avoided them and insisted on holding the four princes by herself.
Seeing this, Pei Yao felt a sharp pain in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the child in Fang Yu's hand.
"Yu'er, it's me, it's me, give the child to me, I've already sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor, the imperial doctor will soon come to the side hall, and I will be quicker to hug Ji'er, okay?"
Fang Yu's nerves were completely tense at this time, and when he saw Pei Yao, there was still a hint of relaxation, and although the tears flowed uncontrollably, he still handed over the child.
Pei Yao took the child, and it was also ordered by Suxin and Ruoyu to support Fang Yu, and he turned around and walked quickly to the side hall of the Taihe Palace.
