The fire in the side hall has been gradually brought under control thanks to the efforts of the palace people, but even so, the scene of billowing smoke rising into the sky from outside the wall can still scare people half to death.
As soon as Jiang Tang came in, he saw the tallest and tallest figure among the chaos of the palace people.
In his arms, there was a woman in pink palace clothes. It seemed that she was frightened. Even though everyone had come out, she still held him tightly with her arms.
Looking from Jiang Tang's point of view, he could see the man's stained face, but his eyebrows were a little too thick.
It was obvious that he had specially disguised himself on this trip.
"Tangtang?"
There was a bit of hesitation in Xiao Yinhan's low, hoarse voice.
From the moment he picked him up, he felt something was wrong.
A bit heavier than Tangtang.
He tried to get the girl to look up, but she hugged him tightly and refused to let go.
Just when he was about to pull the person apart to confirm, he heard a nervous and concerned conversation coming from behind:
"Begonia, where have you been? I was scared to death. I thought you were inside!"
"Yes! Me too. It's just good that you're not here. The fire is so strong..."
Catching the word "tang" again, Xiao Yinhan suddenly turned his head and looked out, and then he saw a girl who was talking softly to others.
She turned her back to him, just a silhouette, but Xiao Yinhan's heart trembled fiercely. For a moment, time and space seemed to freeze, all sounds disappeared from his ears, and he couldn't help but look at her greedily.
[Host, the male protagonist is looking at you! He has found you! He is coming over, coming over, ahhhhh! 】
The system screamed excitedly in Jiang Tang's mind, but Jiang Tang didn't seem to have any reaction.
She spoke to the little palace maid who cared about her without changing her expression, saying that she was on errands for her aunt, so she would not be there in the afternoon.
From beginning to end, she never looked back, as if she didn't know that person was behind her.
Xiao Yinhan felt resistance as soon as he moved.
His handsome eyebrows frowned fiercely, and when he looked at the person in his arms, he no longer had any pity at all.
He only needed to exert a little force, and the little palace maid in his arms was thrown to the ground mercilessly.
"Ouch~"
"Yeah~"
Everyone in the palace was shocked by this scene. The little palace maid cried out in pain, and everyone looked over in surprise.
Jiang Tang also looked over.
The first thing she saw was the little palace maid lying on the ground, and then she noticed the scorching eyes that were impossible to ignore and were locked on her.
She looked around with some confusion and met a pair of deep, excited eyes.
The moment they looked at each other, she seemed to have recognized who he was.
The soft smile on the girl's face gradually disappeared, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and stars seemed to be falling in her eyes.
Even though she is pale, she is still beautiful.
But that expression didn't look happy.
"Tang..."
Xiao Yinhan moved his lips lightly and called out only one word. The girl he had been thinking about day and night suddenly turned around and ran away.
Her black hair was blown up by the wind, and her pink dress passed through the corridor with gray bricks and gray walls like smoke.
No surprise.
No one left a word.
She was so decisive and turned around and ran away without any hesitation.
Xiao Yinhan was stunned.
A dull pain spreads in my heart.
Can't!
Can't let her leave!
He subconsciously wanted to catch up.
"What's going on? How did the fire start?"
A somewhat rude and impatient male voice suddenly came.
At the end of the corridor where the girl had just escaped, a group of guards with knives appeared, blocking his sight.
I can't pursue him any longer.
Xiao Yinhan knew it.
But he was unwilling to give in, really unwilling to give in!
It was just one step away, just one step away from him being able to talk to her.
It's so close, yet it seems so far away.
-
"...The cause of the fire is still unclear. There should be no one in the temple in the afternoon. There were no candles or lights or anything..."
"Yes, mama, there are people."
Someone from the palace interrupted Nian Nian's words in a low voice, and then pointed at the little palace maid who had been standing behind her just now.
"She was the one who was rescued from the fire."
Hearing the palace man's words, the face of the chief guard who was asking the question instantly darkened. His sharp, cold eyes shot towards the little palace maid who was still coughing, and his tone was very rude:
"What's your name? Look up!"
The little palace maid's coughing stopped for a moment, and then she slowly raised her head under the gaze of everyone, revealing a face that, although stained black, could not conceal her natural beauty.
The person who asked the question did not respond, but the little palace maids who finally saw her appearance clearly were stunned:
"Hey, she looks a bit like Begonia."
"Begonia?"
It was not like the captain of the guard had never seen a beautiful woman before. Although he was a little surprised that such a palace maid was hidden in the cold palace, his beauty did not make him lose his mind.
He quickly caught the key words: "Who is Haitang? Is he also the one who cleans this side hall?"
After receiving confirmation from Mother Nian, he immediately ordered: "Where is the person? Call them over immediately! Everyone who is related to this side hall, no less, call them all!"
Grandma Nian's face suddenly fell, and she was frighteningly pale. She was still more nervous than when she heard about the fire in the side hall just now.
Is Haitang's face that brings disaster to the country and people... visible to people?
-
"Are you here? You've been restless since just now. Did a needle prick you on the stool?"
Concubine Xu felt a little disgusted and spoke out.
"Of course not, it's..."
The Sixth Prince rolled his eyes and immediately found a suitable reason:
"Didn't you hear that there was a fire in the cold palace? It's dry and dry this summer, so you really have to be careful."
It seems that this excuse is good, and Concubine Xu seems to believe it in the past two years.
The eldest maid on the side received the sixth prince's request for help, lowered her head and said, "I was just about to tell my wife about this. I heard that the fire over there has been put out, but the commotion was a bit big, and it has already reached the emperor."
"Father also knows?"
The sixth prince suddenly stood up from his chair. The movement was a bit loud, and he bumped into the table next to him, almost knocking over the tea cup on it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Why are you making such a fuss again? This is your father's harem. Is it strange for him to know about this?"
Concubine Xu was disgusted by the worthless look of the sixth prince. She didn't know that all her brothers, nephews and nephews in her family were smart, and she was also a powerful person at home.
I don’t know how I gave birth to this useless thing like Lao Liu.
Apart from being lustful, he was useless. If it weren't for the strict management in the palace, she would have suspected that her son had been betrayed.
Seeing his mother and concubine showing that disgusting expression again, the sixth prince was almost furious to death.
His mother-in-law herself was a loser. She wanted to go fishing in the lake in the middle of winter to find artistic conception, but the guy who fished her into the lake actually thought he was stupid?
He is really...too lazy to pay attention to her!
"I went out to take a look, but I don't know what the situation is now."
Fearing that his mother and concubine would be angry if he stayed any longer, the sixth prince simply went out and waited.
"Go ahead, go ahead. I don't know how to lose weight. Look how beautiful the other princes are. Look at your big belly... It's so hot in the summer. Don't go into the palace if you have nothing to do. Otherwise, I won't see you.
You’re annoyed!”
Concubine Xu's unabashed words of disgust came from behind. The sixth prince stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
He couldn't help but look back at the woman sitting on the couch eating fruit.
It's like saying: "Do you think I am very thin? Do you want to look in the mirror? You are almost as old as two fathers and you still think I am fat! I am fat, do you blame me? It's obviously your inheritance.
!”
There were all kinds of resentments in my heart, but only one sentence came out of my mouth: "Yes, I will obey my orders."
There is no way, the world is vast, filial piety is the greatest,
He wouldn't dare to do anything that would make my mother angry to death.
Probably because there was an unfilial son of the fourth brother in the palace who was angry with his father, so his father paid special attention to "filial piety".
If he knew which son was unfilial, he would definitely not let him go.
It can be said that these brothers are all victims of someone's willfulness.
There are a lot of things to talk about, but there are also benefits. If you are unfilial, you will be beaten, but on the other hand, as long as you are filial to your parents, your father's rewards will not be less.
It's really...hard to describe in words.
After complaining about his unreliable mother and concubine in his heart, when the sixth prince approached the palace gate, his expression had changed from aggrieved and dissatisfied to nervous.
"Damn, if this fire is so big, he couldn't be the one who started it?"
As soon as he came out, he saw the white smoke that had not yet dissipated from the cold palace. The sixth prince's heart skipped a beat, and for a moment he felt as if his head was getting cold.
He suddenly became very suspicious of his family's bottom line in criticizing the fourth brother.
"Why do you think I need to wade into this muddy water? Wouldn't it be nice for me to eat, drink, have fun and go to restaurants at home?"
"It doesn't matter if something doesn't happen. If something does happen... he may not be in trouble, but I will definitely be unlucky!"
Ahhhhh, why didn’t you think of it earlier?
The sixth prince thought more and more panicked. He seemed to have seen his father learn that he had brought Xiao Yinhan in and asked him to set fire to the cold palace.
Then he got angry and grounded Xiao Yinhan, then ransacked his house and sent him into exile...
"I do not want!"
The sixth prince screamed suddenly, and just when he was thinking about whether he should just run away early, he was suddenly hit hard by someone.
"What don't you want?"
A particularly depressed and hoarse male voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
The sixth prince turned around and saw a strange yet familiar face.
Strange means that he has never seen it before, and familiar means that he witnessed the birth of this face with his own eyes and brought him into the palace as an attendant.
"Four, fourth brother, are you back?"
The sixth prince's eyes were so bright. He never thought that one day he would be so eager to see this demon king.
"You're back, take me out of the palace immediately!"
Xiao Yinhan's brows were tense, and if you look carefully, his movements were a bit stiff and awkward.
"Okay, let's go, let's go..."
The sixth prince's voice was stuck for a moment, and his pupils shrank.
Good guy, is this his illusion?
Why did he smell a faint smell of gunpowder smoke from his fourth brother?
If you look closely at the other person's hair, it seems that it is still mixed with ash particles that have not been cleaned up. His body temperature is also strangely high, as if he has a heat stroke and a fever.
When these details are combined, it's like he really... just ran out of a fire.
"No, that fire... you couldn't really set that fire..."
"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about?"
"But……"
The sixth prince still wanted to press forward, but when his fourth brother's murderous gaze threatened him, he instantly became as quiet as a chicken.
"Okay, let's go!"
Even though the people from the Yongchun Palace on the side were a little far away, they couldn't hear clearly what the young master was saying.
But judging from his actions and demeanor, how could their sixth prince be so...well, flattering and a bitch?
An illusion, it must be an illusion!
-
Here, Xiao Yinhan was protected by the sixth prince and left the harem in a low profile.
Over there, as soon as Jiang Tang returned to the room, she received a notice that the guard who came to investigate wanted to see her by name.
[Host, what should I do? Do you want to see me? You still have to find a way to go to the summer resort. Will you be delayed? 】
The system is really nervous, and compared with it, Jiang Tang is really stable:
"Meet you, of course you have to meet me. But I'll meet you in a different way."
As she spoke, she rummaged through the cabinet, then pulled out a handkerchief that looked a bit like a gauze scarf, and touched it on her face.
After confirming that the size was just right, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."
[Woo, host, you are so kind, the system has decided to follow you for the rest of my life!] The system said gratefully.
Jiang Tang froze: "...That's not necessary."
System:...Can it be moved even for a moment?
-
"Sir, Haitang has arrived."
Seeing Jiang Tang walk in, Nian Nian said to the captain of the guard somewhat flatteringly.
The guard had the same coffin face as always. The first time he saw Jiang Tang, he frowned fiercely: "Why do you have to cover your face when I ask you to come over? Is there anything ulterior motives? Take off the veil quickly!"
Before Jiang Tang could say anything, Nian Nian's heart skipped a beat: It's over, Haitang's face... I'm afraid I can't cover it up today, right?
"She has some discomfort on her face. Please forgive me and let her speak while wearing a veil." Even though she knew it was useless, Mother Nian still tried to say a few good words for Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang also took the opportunity to say: "Mommy is right, I have injuries on my face. I'm afraid of scaring you, so I asked you to..."
"Stop talking nonsense and pick it if I ask you to!"
The guard looked at him, and one of his men walked up and pulled off Jiang Tang's veil.
Then everyone will——
"ah!"
"Haitang, what's wrong with your face?"
"How terrible!"
"Oh my god!"
The guard who was the first to take action was so frightened that he hurriedly threw away the gauze covering Jiang Tang's face for fear of being infected.
Jiang Tang showed a sad expression, and when he was almost frightened, he calmly covered his face again:
"Back to grandma, I just went to the palace of Concubine Fang..."
Concubine...
With one sentence, everyone suddenly showed a look of surprise, and when they looked at her again, they felt a little more sympathetic.
But the guard didn't understand: "Fang concubine...what happened to concubine Fang concubine?"
After hearing this, Aunt Nian turned around with a complicated and tangled expression: "Sir, listen to what I said..."
[Host, it’s you as expected!] The system sincerely praised.
The corners of Jiang Tang's mouth just rose and then disappeared. He raised his eyes and met the strange girl standing not far away who had been staring at him coldly...
