Hongli thought she was reluctant to leave him, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will accompany you in the garden tonight."
That night, Hongli slept in the east wing room. Before midnight, he went to bed to rest, but he couldn't fall asleep. Yongyan's small figure passed in front of his eyes from time to time. He finally felt a little sleepy, and was attracted by Xiao Wu.
Awakened by the knocking on the door, he put on his clothes and stood up, saying: "Come in."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Wu opened the door and walked in, saying respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have already spoken to Master Guangchengzi. He said that it is not appropriate to cast spells in the first month of the first month, and you have to wait until the first day of February at the earliest."
Upon hearing this, Hongli was surprised and said: "So, don't we have to wait another half month?"
"Yes." Faced with Xiao Wu's answer, Hongli frowned and said nothing. He was conflicted in his heart. He was looking forward to quickly completing Yong Xin's fate and letting go of this worry; he also wanted to look at Yong Yan a few more times.
Although he repeatedly warned himself that Yong Yan was just a tool used to complete Yong Cun's destiny and not to have any father-son affection for him, after all, blood was thicker than water, and I still felt a little sad when I thought about his death.
After a long while, he said: "In that case, just wait for another half month. You can go to Ziyun Temple tomorrow and tell Guangchengzi that on the first day of February, I will personally take Yongyan to Ziyun Temple.
Tell him not to play any tricks."
"I obey the order." After Xiao Wu stepped down, Hongli was no longer sleepy and was about to pick up a pen to practice calligraphy. Xiao Wu, who had just stepped back, suddenly opened the door and barged in. Before Hong Li could question him, Xiao Wu was already
He said in a panic: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. There is a fire where my wife lives!"
Hongli's expression suddenly changed. He got up and ran towards the place where Wei Xiuyan lived before he had time to ask. Before he got close, he saw a blazing fire. The servants of Guangxiu Garden were fetching water from everywhere to extinguish the fire. However, the basins of water...
Compared with the fire that soars into the sky, sparing no effort will not have much effect at all.
Hongli grabbed a servant who was passing by and said anxiously: "Where are the lady and the young master? How are they? Are they injured?"
Facing Hongli's pressing questions, the servant pointed to the sky-high flames and said tremblingly: "They should...should still be inside."
Hearing this, Hongli panicked and shouted: "Since you know, why don't you hurry up and rescue them! Go quickly!"
The servant said in a trembling voice: "Minions... the servants also wanted to go in to save the lady and the young master, but the fire was too strong and they couldn't get in at all!"
"You have to go in even if you can't! If they hurt a hair, I will bury all of you with them!" Under the light and fire, Hongli looked ferocious and terrifying, like a yaksha evil ghost.
Under his threat, the servants covered themselves with wet quilts and tried to rush in. However, not long after they entered, they all retreated. Even though Hongli shouted and scolded them, they did not dare to go in again. The fierce fire
It can't be stopped by just a wet quilt. They don't want to end up being burned alive.
Seeing the fire burning more and more fiercely, Hongli was extremely worried. If things continued like this, Wei Xiuyan and her son would be smoked to death even if they were not burned to death. Especially since Yongyan had just been born, the slightest injury might kill him.
If Yongyan dies, then Yongxun...
Thinking of this, Hongli became cruel, took a bucket of water and burned it on his head, then rushed into the fire to save the people himself. Xiaowu was shocked when he saw this, and hugged Hongli with all his strength and said:
: "The Emperor is in danger, you can't go in!"
"There is still a chance now. I want to go in and save them. Let go!" Hongli wanted to break away from Xiao Wu's restraints, but Xiao Wu held him tightly and couldn't break free after several attempts. He opened his red eyes.
He said sternly: "Slave dog, if you don't let go, I will chop off your head!"
"Even if the emperor wants to kill the slave, the slave will never let go. I beg the emperor to put the dragon body first!" As he spoke, Zhou Minghua and He Shen also arrived. Like Xiao Wu, they were trying to stop Hongli and not let him go.
He goes in.
"Do you have to order me to chop off your dogs' heads now before you let go?!" Hongli was angry and anxious. The longer the delay lasted, the more dangerous Wei Xiuyan and her son would be.
"The emperor is rich in gold, so you must not take risks." Although Heshen and others persuaded him in every possible way, Hongli still refused to give up and insisted on going in to save people.
Seeing that this was not the way to go, Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and said, "I will go in for the emperor to rescue people. I promise that I will do my best to bring the wife and the young master out."
Before Hongli could agree, he had already wet himself with water, covered himself with two layers of wet quilts, covering his head and body, and rushed into the fire scene without hesitation.
Seeing him rushing in, He Shen hurriedly said: "Splash the water quickly, call everyone on, move quickly, and be sure to control the fire so that the Fifth Eunuch can come out."
Under his command, the fire was barely suppressed, but Xiao Wu never came out. Hongli stared at the fire, his expression was indescribably ugly. There was no news for so long, I'm afraid even Xiao Wu...
Before he could finish his thoughts, a man who was on fire suddenly rushed out from the sea of fire. He Shen said in surprise: "Your Majesty, it's the Fifth Eunuch, he's out! He's out!" As he spoke, Xiao Wu was already staggering toward them.
While running over, He Shen and Zhou Minghua grabbed the wooden bucket from the servant's hand and poured water on Xiao Wu together. After pouring several buckets in a row, they finally put out the fire on his body.
Xiao Wu struggled to throw away the burned quilts on his body, and lay on the ground, gasping for air. Although the two quilts were mostly on fire, many places on his body were still burned.
The appearance of Xiao Wu was both hope and despair for Hong Li, because Xiao Wu did not rescue Wei Xiuyan and her son; and everything in the house should have been burned by now, and it would be useless even if he rushed in again.
Yong Yan...the only hope that could keep Yong Yan alive is gone!
Thinking of this, Hongli desperately pulled Xiao Wu up from the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "Didn't you say you would bring them out? Why not? Why did you lie to me?!"
Xiao Wu endured the burning pain in his body and said with difficulty: "I did not lie to the emperor. I went inside to look for it, but the lady and the young master were not inside."
His words made Hongli stunned and said in disbelief: "What did you say? Say it again?"
"The lady and the young master were not trapped in the fire." This time, everyone heard clearly, and He Shen said happily: "The lady must have escaped with the young master before the fire broke out. Your Majesty, you can rest assured.
.”
Great sorrow and great joy came so quickly that Hongli could hardly bear it. He reluctantly calmed down and said eagerly: "Go to them quickly, go quickly!"
"Slave, let's go now." He Shen personally led a group of servants to look for Wei Xiuyan, while the others stayed where they were to put out the fire. He Shen thought he would find them soon, but unexpectedly, he searched the entire garden and still couldn't find Wei Xiuyan and her son.
