Chapter 162: The Mo House Goes to the Water
After a lot of trouble, Mo Ruxue was so tortured that she had no strength at all. She lay in Xiao Yonghan's arms and fell asleep.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, she looked around her side in a hazy state. There was no one around her. She was startled and shouted softly a few times, but no one answered.
She jumped up, put on her clothes and walked out to look for him.
Seeing that the light was still on in the small study next to it, he opened the door and saw Xiao Yonghan wearing a cotton robe and reviewing files.
Xiao Yonghan looked up and saw her, quickly stood up and held her in his arms: "Why are you up? It's very cold at night, and you are afraid of the cold. Why are you getting up?"
Mo Ruxue nestled in his arms and said softly: "What are you doing? Are you still reading the files? I woke up and didn't see you..."
"You can't sleep without me by your side?" Xiao Yonghan asked with a smile.
"No! I'm afraid you'll fall into the latrine. I can't get up to save you in the middle of the night!"
Xiao Yonghan reminded him funny: "I don't think I can fall into the toilet we use at night."
Mo Ruxue couldn't hold back anymore and laughed out loud. She changed the subject: "Are you still reviewing the files? It's past midnight. If you don't sleep, it will be dawn. You should really let your emperor brother do it for you.
Give me a dedication award!”
Xiao Yonghan suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "You must never make fun of the emperor like this again! Maybe someone with serious intentions will take advantage of you."
"I am anxious to solve the case because I feel sorry for those families who have lost their daughters. How anxious they must be when the girl they have raised for more than ten years is suddenly uncertain about her life and death and is missing!"
Mo Ruxue nodded in agreement. Human traffickers are indeed hateful. They have caused so many people to be separated from their flesh and blood!
"I support the prince, I'd better cut those traffickers to death with a thousand knives!"
"Isn't the prince always investigating official corruption? Why is he also investigating such private criminal cases?"
Mo Ruxue had actually always wanted to ask, but she was just afraid that Xiao Yonghan would think too much, so she kept it in her heart.
Xiao Yonghan held her in his arms and walked back, saying as he walked: "The Minister of Punishment is seriously ill and has taken leave. The Emperor asked me to act as his temporary agent."
Mo Ruxue curled her lips, this Xiao Yongyan is really good at summoning people!
Xiao Yonghan moved wherever needed, but he was never given a practical position.
Although the title sounds lofty, it is empty air after all. It must be said that Xiao Yongyan is still very defensive.
After all, when the late emperor passed away, Xiao Yonghan's call for succession was also very high, but he had no intention of taking that position and hid far away, only to come back when the overall situation was decided.
Lying on the bed, Mo Ruxue sighed silently in her heart, put her arms around Xiao Yonghan's waist, and squeezed closer to him.
Xiao Yonghan was already about to fall asleep. He felt her movements, hugged her sideways, and fell asleep after a while.
The weather was gloomy the next day. Today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and the house has already started to get busy for the Lantern Festival tomorrow.
Xiao Yonghan got up early in the morning and went out.
Mo Ruxue was dressing up in the room, when suddenly Murong Yan ran in in a hurry: "Princess, I just saw the Mo Mansion in the inn, and there was a fire in the sky!"
"What? Why did you get into trouble again?" Mo Ruxue stood up in shock and hurriedly walked out with Murong Yan.
She saw Butler Xiao outside the yard and ordered: "Ask all the men in the mansion to bring buckets and go to Mo Mansion to put out the fire with me!"
Butler Xiao did not dare to delay and hurriedly gathered people.
When Mo Ruxue and Murong Yan rushed over on horseback, the fire was mainly concentrated in the area from Mo Zifeng's yard to Mo Ziye's other yard.
The servants of Mo Mansion were busy putting out the fire. There was thick smoke everywhere and nothing could be seen inside.
Mo Ruxue anxiously grabbed a servant and asked, "Is the third young master out?"
"It seems not yet. We just rescued the master and his wife, they are over there!"
Mo Ruxue turned around and saw that Mo Xu and Mrs. Mo were slumped on the ground with gray faces.
Mo Xu seemed to be injured, and Mrs. Mo was crying next to him.
As long as they are not dead, Mo Ruxue has no intention of pretending to care about them.
Mo Zifeng has just detoxified and is still very weak. Mo Ruxue is now very worried about him.
She quickly grabbed a bucket of water from the person next to her, poured it all over herself with a splash, picked up a wet towel, covered her mouth and nose, and rushed in.
"Princess, Princess! You can't go in!"
"Princess, princess!"
Murong Yan was so anxious that she stamped her feet and almost cried. What should I do?
Just as she was about to get closer, scorching flames hit her face, and she subconsciously took two steps back.
Ouyang Xun also came, with dozens of people carrying buckets and basins.
Murong Yan grabbed his arm eagerly and began to speak incoherently: "Princess, the princess rushed in... What should I do? There is such a big fire!"
Ouyang Xun quickly ordered those people to put out the fire. He was also anxiously looking for a place with a smaller fire to see if he could get in.
"Murong Yan, what did you just say? Did you say that Xue'er went in?" Suddenly there was a roar. Murong Yan turned around and saw the furious Xiao Yonghan, and nodded in fear.
He immediately threw his cloak into the bucket, drenched it and put it on his body. He covered his mouth and nose and rushed in after seeing an opportunity.
As soon as he entered, the Kyoto police officer arrived with a large team of fire extinguishers.
When Officer Fangyu heard that His Highness King Luo, Princess Luo, and the third young master of the Mo family were still inside, he immediately felt a heavy responsibility and quickly ordered them to put out the fire.
Mo Ruxue followed the location in her memory and groped towards Mo Zifeng's room in the smoke. Fortunately, the journey went smoothly.
The hot temperature caused her outer clothes to dry out. She held her breath and shouted: "Mo Zifeng! Mo Zifeng, are you in the room?"
No one answered inside, so she squatted down and walked slowly inside. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Mo Zifeng fainted on the ground.
There was a boy lying at the door. He was hit by the door frame and died.
Mo Ruxue squatted and ran a few steps to him, pinched his acupoint: "Mo Zifeng, wake up!"
Mo Zifeng let out a cry, opened his eyes quietly, and stared blankly at Mo Ruxue who rushed in from the fire, his tears streaming out.
"Sister... wuwu... I thought I would never see you again!"
Mo Zifeng was like a child, hugging Mo Ruxue tightly and crying.
In the first month of the lunar month, he had just saved his life from the gate of hell. Before he woke up, he found himself in a sea of fire! Who had he provoked? How could he be so unlucky!
"Okay, don't cry! We still have to find a way to escape from here!"
Mo Ruxue patted his back gently, and Mo Zifeng's mood stabilized.
Mo Ruxue saw a basin of water in the basin next to her, pulled two pieces of clothing from the side, got them wet, and put them on their heads.
The people fighting the fire outside have rushed into the yard. The fire is a little smaller, but the smoke is still very thick. They may not be able to stay here and wait for them to come to save it.
She ordered Mo Zifeng to lie on her back. Mo Zifeng hesitated for a long time and then lay on her back very embarrassed.
She gritted her teeth and carried Mo Zifeng on her back and walked out, when she suddenly heard Xiao Yonghan's urgent call outside.
"Mo Ruxue, are you in there? Answer me quickly!"
"I'm here! I'm here!" she replied happily.
