Chapter 525: Fire broke out in the Empress Dowager's courtyard
"She should be at the Queen Mother's place." Xuan Yi breathed out softly.
The Jin guard immediately comforted her softly and said, "With Xiao Pei following you, the young lady will be fine."
"She knows how to use poison. With my martial arts skills, I may not be able to kill her before she kills me. She will be fine, but I don't want her to have such a hard time." Xuan Yi sighed softly, "She will definitely
She will not let go of the person who hurt her father, no matter who the person is, she has already made up her mind to exact revenge."
"I feel that those despicable and shameless guys should be eradicated, otherwise, once they have the opportunity, they will definitely start over again." Jin Huwei said angrily, "The emperor of Daxing Dynasty is as despicable as the emperor of Wumeng Kingdom.
Shameless, you must die. It's a pity that this subordinate is a man. If he were a woman, he would definitely obey the young lady's instructions at any time and kill those bastards properly!"
Xiaoyaoju's carriage stopped quietly three miles away from the palace. The horse pulling the carriage quietly lowered its head and ate the grass on the roadside.
Pay attention to your surroundings.
In the distance, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and Xiao Pei immediately jumped out of the carriage and looked in the direction of the horse hooves.
The carriage was getting closer and closer, it was Guanfu's carriage. The carriage just stopped, Xian Zi Ai got off the carriage, and the person supporting her was Liu Li, "Where's Zi Jian?"
Xiaopei nodded to Liuli first, and then said to Xian Ziyi: "My master is resting in the carriage. The master said that when you get here, you should also rest for a while, and wait until there is smoke rising from the direction of the Queen Mother's courtyard before setting off. Miss Liuli,
The master said, I'm sorry to trouble you, but I asked you to rush to the Guan Mansion so late at night and asked the young lady of the Guan family to come out on the grounds that there was something urgent."
Liuli shook her head, "This is what Liuli should do. How is the young madam? Liuli has been busy preparing for the wedding these days and has not gone to greet the young madam. She is very worried."
After Xian Ziyi finished listening to Xiaopei's words, she stopped listening to Liuli and Xiaopei's conversation and turned around to return to the carriage.
"The young lady is in good health, except that she gets tired easily." Xiaopei said softly, "The young lady has arranged for you to prepare for your wedding these days. Just do what the young lady has told you to do well. Xiaoyaoju has little love for you.
Pei Zai, I will definitely not let anyone get close to the young lady or hurt the young lady."
In the Queen Mother's palace courtyard, Yurun was alert to the surroundings with great vigilance.
After the emperor left, the queen immediately sent someone over to take the servants around the queen mother for questioning. The queen mother ordered her to refuse sternly. The eunuch father-in-law was afraid of trouble and did not dare to stay outside the door any longer. He turned back to find the queen mother.
Knowing that he would definitely not say anything nice when he returned, she arranged for all her slaves to stay in different positions and be careful of any movement.
As the Queen Mother said, in the palace, an accident is not called an accident, it is called normal.
Suddenly, there was a strange smell in the air, which was a bit choking. Yurun coughed subconsciously and frowned, "What's it like? Is there anyone in the small kitchen? Is the slave looking at the stove asleep?"
"No, I'm still awake." The servant in the kitchen immediately said in a panic.
Suddenly, a voice sounded, and I don’t know which slave’s voice it was. It was frightened and shrill, “It’s on fire, it’s on fire, wake up the Queen Mother, it’s on fire!”
Yurun was startled by this sudden voice and didn't care to see which slave was shouting. Although she felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, it was just different from what she usually heard. It was probably because of panic and fear that the tone had changed.
Thinking in his mind, he already looked around with the other slaves in the courtyard who had been disturbed.
"Miss Yurun, where is the fire?" Several slaves asked Yurun while searching.
"How would I know!" Yurun said impatiently, but after saying this, he was completely stunned.
No wonder the sudden voice sounded familiar to me just now, but it was different from what I usually heard, because that voice was my own voice, but because of some changes in tone, I could tell it was caused by panic and fear, but! But! But!
!Yu Runxin said, it’s really a ghost, she didn’t speak at all, okay!
"It's a sycamore tree!" A sharp-eyed slave pointed to a sycamore tree planted next to the wall in the courtyard. The tree was not too tall, but its crown was huge, with half of it sticking out of the courtyard wall. At this time, there were some spots on some branches.
The flames kept jumping, no wonder the smell just now was a bit choking.
All the slaves immediately looked for tools to put out the fire. They didn't know what the flames were. Not all of them were burning, but they were here and there, and they were not close together. It seemed like something was dropped from above.
It is really not easy for ordinary people to light fires while standing under a tree.
"There is an assassin!" a little father-in-law's voice sounded, seemingly outside the wall, but also inside the wall.
"Protect the Queen Mother!" Yurun no longer cared to figure out what the sound was about. His first instinct was that it must be related to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother must have secretly sent someone to set the fire, not necessarily to burn him to death.
The Queen Mother, but she will definitely cause some trouble while taking advantage of the chaos, and at the same time remind the Queen Mother to be more honest and not to provoke the Queen Mother again.
Some slaves brought water and poured it on the flames on the branches, but the flames were located a bit high. The water did not splash on the flames, but all fell on the slaves under the tree. For a moment, the yard became a mess.
Three miles away from the palace, the carriage in Xiaoyaoju was still quiet, and Xian Zijian still closed his eyes and meditated.
"Zi Jian, how long do you have to wait?" Xian Zi Ai ignored Xiao Pei's obstruction, stood outside Xiao Yao Ju's carriage, raised her voice and said, "In this wilderness, I am a woman as beautiful as a flower, what if I encounter any evil plans?
What should the guy do?"
"My master has given instructions that you can only set off if there is smoke coming out from the direction of the Queen Mother's courtyard." Xiao Pei frowned and said impatiently, "Just wait while I ask you to wait. Why worry!"
"We've been waiting for almost two hours!" Xian Ziai said impatiently, "It's so far away from the palace. Even if there is a fire in the Queen Mother's place, we may not be able to see it. By the time we see it, the Queen Mother will probably be gone.
Burned to ashes, it was time to shed a few tears."
A shadow suddenly flew in front of Xian Ziai, which frightened Xian Ziai so much that she screamed "Ah!——", jumped away, and said, "What the hell? It scared me to death."
The curtain of Xiaoyaoju's carriage was lifted, and a voice came from inside. It was a little coquettish, but also a little proud and showing off, "I'm so exhausted, parrot! The show is on!"
Xian Ziyi didn't react for a moment, staring blankly at Xiaoyaoju's carriage, but then she heard Xian Ziyi's gentle and gentle voice, "Let's set off."
