Fang Shu didn't go back immediately, but went to the Royal Garden first, washed her face with lake water, and washed the hem of her clothes before squatting on the ground, covered with a lot of mud.
In fact, she is considered good, but the emperor is miserable. When she left, his nails were covered with mud, because they were inserted into the soil.
With her body almost ready, Fang Shu began to pick the petals that had been smashed by the rain in the imperial garden, stuffed both sleeves, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the Changchun Palace after making sure that there was no problem.
I met Changqing on the road, and Changqing was leading people to look for the emperor. The direction is very close to the emperor's position, so I should be able to find it.
Now is not the time to worry about him, you should worry about yourself.
Fang Shu stepped up her pace and continued to rush to the Changchun Palace. This time, the emperor was not dragging her down. She arrived at the place very quickly. Just as her front foot stepped into the threshold, someone pulled her back foot aside.
Mu Jin was very anxious, "Why have you been here for so long, do you know something happened to Changchun Palace?"
Fang Shu shook her head, "What's wrong?"
"The back kitchen is on fire, and the empress is leading people to put out the fire. The fire started strangely. The women insisted that the fire in the stove was cleared before leaving. If this is the case, someone set the fire on purpose. Everyone is here. Just you I'm not here, I'm afraid others will suspect you." She said in a worried tone, "Is someone trying to harm you again?"
No one hurt her this time, she set the fire, if she is held accountable, it can only be considered her bad luck.
Fang Shu nodded, "I see, let's check the situation first."
Hibiscus took her to the backyard with her. The fire hadn't been completely extinguished. After all, the spare water in the tank was exhausted, so they could only rely on the well to draw water and borrow water from other places. The speed was slow, and it might be completely extinguished here. Well, it started to burn again over there, and the cycle continued like this until the rain in the sky was controlled a little bit.
Fang Shu glanced around, some people were putting out the fire, some people were standing on the porch, next to the empress, and there were a few people kneeling at the empress's feet, obviously the mother-in-law of the back kitchen.
Fang Shu thought about it, and instead of going to the empress, she helped put out the fire first. Now all the eunuchs, guards, and members of the fire prevention team participated in the firefighting. She was the only girl. After thinking about it, Mu Jin followed.
She didn't know why Fang Shu did this, but Fang Shu was very moved by her willingness to accompany her. She might never find someone who trusted her so much in the future.
I don't know if I should remind her that doing so may offend the entire Changchun Palace ladies.
Everyone is a girl, and they are all standing on the porch to watch, but you are lucky, insisting on participating, it seems that they are greedy for life and afraid of death and lazy.
Of course, there are benefits too, it's like everyone leaves early after get off work, just like you staying to work overtime, the boss naturally likes you more.
It can be said to show loyalty and diligence by offending the entire Changchun Palace maids, but only she can do it, because she has already offended the entire Changchun Palace maids, Mu Jin has not yet.
Mu Jin is a stubborn person. Everyone advised her to stay away from her. She still insisted on being friends with her. Under her influence, she now seems to be a bit of a public enemy of eroticism.
In order to prevent fire, there are more than 300 peace jars in the entire palace, almost everywhere, but it is a bit far away, which wastes a lot of time.
The two little girls couldn't help much, at most they carried the wooden barrels in their own house, and followed the big team to other places to carry water, and they could carry as many barrels as they could.
Although this work was tiring, the two of them usually did a lot of work, so they barely kept up with the pace of the crowd and did not fall behind. If they fell behind, it would affect other relay people.
Queuing up for watering is not nonsense.
Both of them were wearing skirts, which was somewhat inconvenient. When Fang Shu was carrying water, she almost fell down by accident.
Someone saw it and stood on the porch and made sarcastic remarks, "Isn't this adding to the chaos?"
"That's right, if you don't have that ability, you still have to join in."
Jin Yu glared at the two speakers, and they silenced.
Seemingly aware that her skirt was in the way, Fang Shu left the team and tied up the ends of her skirt. She wore obscene trousers that reached her ankles. How can I take care of it.
No matter what, she was the one who set it on fire, so I have to help and do my best.
In this way, everyone worked together, and it took half an hour to finally put out the fire. Fang Shu didn't expect that it was so difficult to extinguish. Maybe it was because the back kitchen was full of firewood. furnace.
Unexpectedly, but also expected, she ordered the back kitchen because she thought it would burn quickly, because saving the emperor was the most important thing, there was no time to waste, the faster it burned, the greater the chance of saving it.
After the fire was extinguished, it was time to investigate the responsibility. The fire squad and guards were sent away, leaving only the people from the Changchun Palace behind. They closed the door to investigate, and everyone knelt in a few rows, including Fang Shu and Mu Jin.
It started with a few wives, who insisted that the bottom of the pot was splashed with water before they left, so there was no way it would catch fire.
Because the water was in a mess and it was raining, there was no way to check this point, but the empress still beat a few women, because the four cooks all went to rest, and no one stayed on duty.
In fact, they usually do this too, but they are lucky, if they don't run into trouble, they will be troublesome when they do.
They also beat the eunuchs on duty, and because they were afraid of punishment, they wanted to put out the fire by themselves, and then acted as if nothing had happened.
He also beat all the maids who were resting in the backyard, and only cared about running away to save his belongings, without calling others.
Fang Shu was also beaten, and she didn't have a good rest at noon to go to the Imperial Garden to pick petals. She lied that it was going to rain, and many petals were lost, so she wanted to collect them and use them to make snacks, rouge and so on.
The reason why he came back so late was to hide from the rain. On the way, he met someone who came to look for the emperor. He felt that something had happened, so he came back in the rain.
He explained why he left in this way, and why he stayed for so long, and then came back wet. It seemed seamless, but in fact, it happened that there were so many coincidences, so it didn't seem like a coincidence.
She was only punished for picking flowers from the Yuyuan Garden without permission. Others hit twenty big boards, but she hit thirty.
I couldn't get up immediately after the beating, maybe because she felt that her punishment was too light, and some people questioned it, because she was the only person who was not at the scene, and she was also the most suspected person.
But how to set fire without being there? Since everyone is in the backyard, the chance of committing the crime is greater. She went out early in the morning, and the eunuch who guarded her saw it with her own eyes.
Fang Shu is not stupid, she left through the main entrance first, and then turned over to enter the backyard. There is a wall in the backyard that is relatively low, and there are some hollow parts, which she can step on to enter.
Because of this, the person who raised the question was fined thirty boards with her, because he suspected that the empress was protecting her.
In short, except for Jin Yu who was beside the empress, everyone else was beaten. To be honest, Fang Shu felt a little bit guilty, but she didn't.
Why
Because these people usually say that she is so happy to gossip, they say it behind their backs, and they say it openly, it is false to say that they don't hate, if it is placed on a fragile person, such as Mu Jin, they may not want to commit suicide, and they all is the murderer.
Just because you don't hit someone doesn't mean it's not violent. In fact, gossip is also a kind of violence.
So let's treat it as an even balance this time. They insulted her violently with words, and she was punished together with them. No one escaped.
It’s been a while since the last time I was punished for catching a cold. Fang Shu has already saved enough money to go to the imperial doctor to secretly open a bottle of medicine, and there is still some left over from Hibiscus’s golden sore medicine. The two wiped it off and bought it again a bottle.
Hibiscus bought it. She has been taking care of the flowers and plants for a long time, and after physical training, she is not as fragile as before. In addition, she has suffered ten fewer boards than Fang Shu. It's okay, after buying it, I exchanged cleaning the wound and changing the dressing with Fang Shu.
Fang Shu's buttocks were blooming and bleeding, and she lay on the bed for a long time without getting up.
Fortunately, life is still there, as long as you pay attention not to get sick, apply medicine on time, and clean the wound, the chance of death is very small. Hibiscus was an accident, no one cared about her, and there was no medicine, so it was dangerous.
Fang Shu covered the quilt and kept warm. Taking advantage of the empress' amnesty today, let them rest for half a day and go to bed quickly. If you are lucky enough to wear it on the emperor, you don't need to feel pain.
Obviously it's impossible, the emperor won't sleep at this point.
Changqing found the emperor in the imperial garden, the emperor stood in the lake on his chest, his black hair was scattered, hanging casually behind his head, the jade crown was lost somehow, and now it is in his hands.
He was unlucky, he didn't wait for the prime minister, and he was worried that something might happen to the emperor, so he found someone to take the message and went to Changchun Palace first.
I was thinking of dragging the queen, buying time for the emperor, or risking my life to protect the emperor, but I thought about how to make a big fuss in the Changchun Palace, but when I arrived at the Changchun Palace, I found that the back kitchen of the Changchun Palace was on fire, and the front yard Not a single person.
His first reaction was that God will help me, so he quickly sneaked into the empress' bedroom, only to find that he was a step late and the emperor was not there.
At that time, she was out of her mind and suspected that the empress had transferred the emperor to another place.
But after thinking about it, it feels wrong, where can the empress go? Apart from the Changchun Palace, she seemed to have no other place to go. She searched every house, but found that there was still no one there.
There is only one possibility, the emperor ran away by himself. After all, the emperor has grown legs, and he is not of the temperament of being caught without a fight.
So I brought people out to do a carpet search. The palace is very big, and there were not many people with me. I walked and shouted for people. After a long time, I found the emperor's coat and the fallen jade crown in the abandoned palace. , but the emperor has gone.
Because of the rain, he stepped on the mud again, leaving a series of footprints. He followed the footprints and found that the direction was the Imperial Garden. Half of the footprints were gone. He came to the Imperial Garden to find someone with the attitude of giving it a try. He really found it.
The emperor turned his back to him, only wearing a lewd garment, and he also took off his middle coat.
He likes to be clean, Changqing knew that he discarded the coat because it was dirty, and the middle coat was also dirty, leaving only a white obscene garment.
The emperor lowered his head, not knowing what he was doing, and he didn't respond to shouting.
After discovering the emperor's discarded coat, he ordered someone to bring the cloak. Although he didn't know the emperor's situation, he still had to make preparations. It was the emperor. Even if he didn't wear a coat, he couldn't be seen by others. .
"Emperor?" he called again.
Yin Fei took the white jade bracelet.
"I've been waiting."
The bracelet was taken off her wrist when he held her for the last time. The suet base was so big, and she still had a pair. It seemed wrong to say that it was a palace lady. The palace lady couldn't afford such jade bracelets. So he doubted her identity again.
"Want to see how slow you can go?"
It's been more than an hour since the accident, and this fellow just came.
"You really lived up to expectations."
Changqing broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and immediately knelt down in fright, "I am late in saving you, please punish me!"
Yin Fei stepped on the stone steps and came up from the water. Chang Qing hurriedly knelt to get the cloak, and handed it to the emperor with shaking hands.
Yin Fei stretched out her hand that was still dripping, took the cloak and put it on her body, and looked down at him from above, "Go to Shen Xing Division to receive the punishment, I will not be an example!"
Chang Qing accepted the benefits of the Changchun Palace, but he heard it. He was drugged inside, but he couldn't do it outside. This is... too much.
He didn't ask for his head because he had been by his side since he was a child, and he had worked hard without credit.
It was also for her sake, if he hadn't come late, maybe he wouldn't have met her.
To be honest, her appearance was very unexpected. He never thought that the person who saved him would be her. He thought it was Chang Qing, but it turned out to be a stranger he didn't know.
He thought of another person in an instant, the woman who was eating and drinking on him, she was still inquiring about Changchun Palace a few days ago, and those two questions were related to Changchun Palace.
If you think about it carefully, if you just ask casually, there is no reason why you will suddenly not reply to him. If you don't reply, he must be angry.
Why are you angry, because this matter is very important to her, and she is angry because she didn't get the answer she wanted.
It happened that the person who saved him was also from the Changchun Palace, and he could enter and leave the Changchun Palace at will, except for the Changchun Palace.
Because of this, he would go with her, with a try attitude, to see if she was her.
Although she later said that the Queen arranged for her to rescue him, and that her appearance was not accidental, but inevitable, he still didn't give up.
To save people is to save people. Is it necessary to paint like that, and to make him swear that we must keep a long distance from him, so that guarding against him is like guarding against thieves
If it was because of the last auction outside the palace, there was no need for it, he wasn't that stingy.
It's like a person walking on the road and picked up a piece of gold, but she is as happy as if she got a hundred thousand taels of gold.
Either she was really ignorant and felt that this piece of gold was like a hundred thousand taels of gold to her, or there was a treasure map engraved on this piece of gold, and there was a hundred thousand taels of gold there.
He prefers the latter.
Because she is her, she dare not reveal her identity for fear of being recognized by him.
It's a pity that the temptation didn't come out. I don't know if it was because she reacted too quickly, or if she really wasn't her.
Even if it wasn't her, guarding against him was like guarding against thieves, fearing that he would make any changes, he remembered kneeling on his chest, and his chest still hurts now.
When I took off my clothes in the shower, I realized that there were large patches of redness. Not only that, but my wrists were also not much better.
She closed her eyes, and in her mind was her covering his eyes with one hand, preventing him from seeing, pressing one knee on his chest, and kneeling on his wrist, tightly controlling his movements, telling him not to One hand, unable to move the whole time.
Too arrogant.
