Chapter 628 Fire in the palace, leaving the capital (1)
Most of the buildings in the palace are pure wood structures, and the borders are painted with paint of various colors as decorations. When the fire is ignited, it will naturally become more and more intense. In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire Qiuliang Hall is surrounded by the sea of fire, and even the surrounding palaces begin to spread. Ye Li and the other two could only take Princess Zhenning to retreat to the imperial garden far away from Qiuliang Hall. Put Princess Zhenning by a small open, flat and ventilated lake. Looking at the fire where people have already started to put out fires in the distance, she ordered: "Go and invite an imperial physician."
"Ali!" Before the imperial physician came, Mo Xiuyao, dressed in white, had already rushed over like the wind. He felt relieved when he saw that Ye Li was fine, and glanced at Princess Zhenning next to him and raised his eyebrows at Ye Li. Ye Li shook his head silently. At this time, he said these things were not suitable in front of Princess Zhenning. Later, Mo Xiaobao was held by the guard and followed Leng Junhan behind him, who was also held in his arms.
"Mom..." Mo Xiaobao happily jumped out of the guard's arms and rushed straight to Ye Li. However, Mo Xiuyao was holding the clothes on his back and hung them in the air. "Mom, mom... I'm so worried about you... Father is bad, let me go! I want mom..." Ye Li took him from Mo Xiuyao's arms with a funny look, patted him comfortably and said, "Mom is okay, let you be careful. Good boy..." Mo Xiaobao rubbed in Ye Li's arms with satisfaction, ignoring Mo Xiuyao's gloomy face and nodded repeatedly, "It's good that mom is okay. The child loves his mother the most..."
Princess Zhenning, who was sitting on the rockery, looked at Mo Xiaobao giggling in Ye Li's arms, and then looked at the gentle and faint smile on Ye Li's face. A trace of envy and bitterness flashed in her eyes. Ye Li saw it, put Mo Xiaobao on the ground, squatted down and asked softly: "Princess Zhenning, are you okay?"
Princess Zhenning nodded and whispered: "Thank you... Thank you for your kindness and grace in saving your life." She was really shameless to look at the elegant and graceful woman in front of her. She also knew what her mother did, but Princess Ding saved her life regardless of her relationship with her. And her biological mother not only used her but also almost killed her. Why... Why is her mother such a person?
"Sister! Sister!" A burst of rapid calls came, and the King of Qin, who had arrived after hearing the news, rushed over with his eight-year-old brother. Behind them were Mo Jingli and other royal princes and powerful people in the court. The fire in Qiuliang Palace was quite lit. Although someone had already gone to put out the fire, the breeze today made the fire even worse, and now it was almost spread to three or four palaces. Even if they were standing opposite to Qiuliang Palace, they seemed to be able to feel the enthusiasm of the fire.
Mo Xiaoyun rushed over and saw Princess Zhenning sitting on the ground at first sight. He rushed forward, "Sister, how are you? Are you injured?" Princess Zhenning quickly covered the scar on her face with her hands and said, "No... nothing serious..." But she could not cover the new wound with her hands? Everyone gasped without hesitation. The girl, who was originally delicate and gentle, had a scar the size of a palm on her face. At this moment, the scar still had a bloody feeling and the burning burning made people want to vomit in their eyes. Many ladies and ladies who followed her screamed and took two steps back.
Princess Zhenning's face turned darker, and she lowered her head even more in a hurry to cover the scars on her face with her hair.
"Don't accompany your hair, it's easier to get infected when it's unclean when it's wounds." A slender plain hand gently pressed her shoulders, and gently pressed her hand that she wanted to pull her hair. Princess Zhenning was stunned, raised her head and stared at the woman with a faint smile on her lips in front of her. There was no disgust or fear on her face, but from her gentle and clear eyes, she saw such an ugly self. Princess Zhenning shook and quickly lowered her head.
Ye Li sighed lightly, and took out a plain white silk palette and carefully tied it to Princess Zhenning's face, covering the hideous scars. "When the imperial doctor comes and prescribes some medicine to treat scars, it will be fine soon."
The women in Dachu who were very strict in the boudoir also had the habit of wearing a veil when going out, so although Princess Zhenning looked a little alien among the ladies who showed her face, it was not abrupt. Everyone around also breathed a sigh of relief. Most of them were women who were raised in the boudoir and had never seen such scars. It was always good to be covered up now, and more people turned their eyes to the gentle and beautiful woman in white, and admired Princess Ding's unchanged demeanor.
"What's going on?" Mo Jingli glanced at Ye Li who had returned to Mo Xiuyao and asked in a deep voice.
Princess Zhenning bit the corner of her lips and refused to speak. Mo Jingli looked at Ye Li, and Ye Li said lightly: "We rushed over when we saw the fire in the Imperial Garden. We only had time to rescue Princess Zhenning. We don't know if there are other people inside."
Mo Jingli frowned and asked, "How could Princess Zhenning be in Qiuliang Palace at this time?"
Princess Zhenning refused to speak, Mo Xiaoyun took a breath and stood up and patted her younger brother who was hiding beside her in fear and said, "The emperor's grandmother locked my mother in Qiuliang Hall. The emperor's sister went to visit her mother."
"Yes, it was the Ai family who locked her into Qiuliang Hall." The empress dowager came slowly surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs. She happened to hear Mo Xiaoyun's words and said calmly.
Mo Jingli said in a deep voice: "Concubine Liu was locked in Qiuliang Hall? Why don't I know?"
The Empress Dowager sneered, "This is the matter of the inner palace. Why didn't the Ai family know that they would discuss with King Li how to punish the unruly concubines of the late emperor?" Mo Jingli had nothing to say. Even though he was dissatisfied with the Queen Mother dealing with Concubine Liu behind his back, he could not say it in front of so many people. After all, even the Regent could only manage political affairs. On the surface, he should never interfere in the matter of the late emperor's harem.
After a moment of silence, Mo Jingli said, "Since that's the case... I don't know if Concubine Liu was killed in the sea of fire." Everyone looked at Princess Zhenning. The fire was not extinguished at this time. No one except Princess Zhenning knew the situation inside, and no one knew whether Concubine Liu was burned to death. However, Princess Zhenning was bitten to death and refused to speak, and everyone could do nothing.
Mo Xiuyao's eyes swept across everyone with a faint look. Just when Mo Jingli thought he was going to say something important, he heard Mo Xiuyao say leisurely: "Since there is something in the palace, I guess this banquet cannot be done. I and the princess will go back to the house first. In addition, the Japanese princess and princess will set off for the northwest in a few days, and I will not come and say goodbye."
Mo Jingli secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and nodded, "In this way, please take a step forward, King Ding."
