But I searched several times and couldn't find anyone.
This made Duan Er anxious, stomping his feet in place, thinking about what to do
"Sister Duan'er, I didn't find the princess."
"Look for it again."
"The princess will be fine, right?"
"Don't be a crow, the princess will be fine."
"But..." The little palace maid also cried anxiously.
Duan Er calmed herself down, thought about it for a while, and asked the girl, "Have you looked for it?"
"I found them all!"
"Where's Xiyuan?"
The girl thought for a while and shook her head, "We came from there, and we didn't see the princess."
"That means you haven't found it yet?"
nod.
Duan'er glared at her angrily, snatched the lantern from her hand, and stepped forward.
When the group arrived at Xiyuan, they saw Jing Xuan in the courtyard.
With Wei Yi!
The two looked up at the Kongming lantern that had just risen.
Kongming lanterns are getting taller and farther away...
"Princess, I found you."
Many little palace maids gathered around and breathed a sigh of relief. If something happened to the princess, everyone would be afraid that ten heads would not be enough for Concubine Xiao to chop off.
Jing Xuan squinted at everyone, "What's the noise? Everyone step back."
The palace maids took a few steps back one after another, but Duan'er stepped forward and whispered beside her, "Princess, hurry back to the bedroom, if you let the maiden know that you are with this fool, you should be angry, after all The Empress had already ordered him to lock him in the house, and no one can let him out."
With a reminder in the tone!
Jing Xuan showed displeasure, and sneered at her, "She won't let it go, so I will let it go."
With the smell of anger, but also with a deliberate meaning.
"Princess, just listen to the servants, or hurry up..." Duan Er worried.
Jing Xuan disapproved and looked at Wei Yi. The boy seemed to be surrounded by nobody, looking up at Kongming Lantern intently.
Duan'er grimaced, "Princess, let's go back."
"Everyone said get out!"
Jing Xuan roared!
Just after she finished yelling, someone suddenly exclaimed, "No, that Kongming lantern has fallen."
Everyone looked up and saw that the Kongming lantern that had risen very high seemed to be broken somewhere, suddenly caught fire and fell.
With the breeze, it floated in the direction of a palace.
what!
The crowd panicked.
Playing with fire in the palace, if it burns, it is not a trivial matter!
Just a few seconds after the Kongming Lantern fell into the palace, the sound of a gong was heard.
dong dong dong!
A sound, deafening.
"Go away, go away..."
Because the buildings of the palace are made of wooden materials, and it is the hot and dry season in August, the sparks will catch fire immediately.
Those palace maids were at a loss, and all of them were terrified.
Dead dead, even ten lives this time is not enough to lose.
Wei Yi is not afraid, it doesn't matter if he burns the entire palace, it's a pity that he made the Kongming lantern.
Jing Xuan was also too sorry.
She patted Wei Yi and said, "It's okay, wait for the next time, let's make a better one."
Wei Yi nodded!
The fire filled the sky, reflecting half of the black sky, red and orange like fire.
Not long after, the surrounding crowd suddenly became commotion and gave way.
"See Empress."
Concubine Xiao walked over angrily, her eyes seemed to be able to kill a person, and when she saw her daughter and Wei Yi standing there magnanimously, there was no trace of panic in her eyes, and she clenched her fists with anger.
…
After a cup of tea.
The hall of Zhangzhi Hall was full of people kneeling!
The palace maid and eunuch refused to make a sound!
Concubine Xiao sat in the right seat, and Jing Xuan stood in the center of the hall.
There was no sound around, and everyone held their breath.
Trembling all over.
Until a little eunuch hurriedly came to report, "Niangniang, the fire has been extinguished, but now the Jingshi Room is searching and questioning everywhere, to find out who put the Kongming lanterns, but after a long time, you may come here to ask. already."
Snapped!
Concubine Xiao slapped her palm on the handle of the chair.
The people in the hall bowed their heads, daring not to make a sound.
Concubine Xiao rolled her eyes to Jing Xuan, "Why are you going to see that fool?"
"… "
"Say it!"
Jing Xuan still did not speak.
Concubine Xiao got up angrily and walked in front of her with a look of disappointment, "Now that this kind of trouble has happened, what will you do if you let the concubine take you?"
"It's my fault." She faced Concubine Xiao squarely, and said, "Walk in the palace, make a thorough investigation in the Jingshi Room, it's better for the concubine to hand me over. Anyway, this is what my daughter did."
"Don't make excuses for that fool, this palace will settle your affairs with you later."
"What? Does the mother-in-law want to hand Wei Yi over?"
"He put the light on."
"Haha." Jing Xuan smiled coldly, "If you hadn't arrested him into the palace, this would not have happened. For the sake of the imperial brother's great cause, the mother-in-law would not spare even a fool. When the Kongming lantern catches fire, the behavior of the mother-in-law is even worse."
"you… "
"Am I wrong? You locked Wei Yi in the palace because you wanted to use him to blackmail Brother Seventh Emperor."
"Snapped!"
This time, Concubine Xiao was not at all soft, and the slap hit Jing Xuan directly to the ground.
His body fell heavily on the ground.
There was blood on the palms too.
Around, no one dared to step forward to dissuade him.
Concubine Xiao stood fiercely in front of her, condescendingly, "You were born in Ben Gong, and you have been a child of Ben Gong all your life, I don't expect you to help your imperial brother, and I don't know that you are helping Ben Gong, but You're thinking about other people everywhere, it's just chilling."
Jing Xuan was beaten until the corner of her mouth cracked with blood.
She didn't feel pain, only felt chills, she wiped the blood on the corner of her mouth with her hand, looking at the bright red blood on the back of her hand, her red eyes were cold to the bone, and she said, "God must be fair, it won't let one People will always gain the upper hand, and a person will never be trampled underfoot.”
Uh!
Concubine Xiao froze for a moment.
It felt as if something was stuck in my throat, and I couldn't say a word.
Jing Xuan's laughter echoed in the hall.
Terrifying!
After a while, she looked up, met her mother-in-law's gaze, and continued, "Don't you want to use Wei Yi? Do you want to use him to achieve the great cause of the emperor? If you hand him over, he will definitely be stabbed. Blame it to death, then your plan will fail."
Concubine Xiao took a deep breath and said, "You want to protect him so much? Well, this palace will fulfill you and will not push him out, but there will always be someone to take care of him at this time."
"What do you mean?"
"Whoever made the mistake should be held accountable."
Um
Seeing that Concubine Xiao made a look, the two eunuchs dragged a thin body in.
Half of the person who was dragged was hanging on the ground, and the blood ran along the toes of the mopping floor to bring out bloodstains all the way.
Look scary!
Sui'er was thrown directly to the ground, lying there, unable to move, only a slight breathing could be heard between her breaths.
This man is dead!
Jing Xuan watched in disbelief, as if she had been stabbed in her heart, and the pain made her cry.
Concubine Xiao stepped forward, put her foot on the back of Sui'er's hand, and said, "Ben Gong has taught you a lesson before, but I didn't expect you, this girl, to keep forgetting things, that fool who made you look at it carefully, you But let the princess run to see him, it seems that you didn't take Ben Gong's words to heart at all, what's the use of Ben Gong's keeping you?"
