He lowered his head and kissed her graceful neck, although he wanted to...
"I don't want to be so casual." Zhao Zongheng's Adam's apple moved slightly, he lowered his eyes and kissed her lips and said softly: "Today is your birthday, and I don't want to leave you with a bad memory."
"..." This time it was Si Ningchi's turn to be stunned, looking at Zhao Zongheng a little strangely, you are already in this situation, why did you brake?
And, what is a bad memory?
Isn't this wonderful...
The earth is the bed and the sky is the quilt, how exciting it is!
Zhao Zongheng buried his head and rubbed the crook of Siningchi's neck, kissed her again and asked in a hoarse voice: "Since it's her birthday, what is the queen's wish?"
Zhao Zongheng's question made Si Ningchi stop. She lay and looked at Zhao Zongheng for a long time, then reached out her hand to touch his cheek and smiled softly: "I don't have any special wishes. I only hope that the emperor will come to court tonight."
I love my concubine so much."
"If the emperor changes his mind, I will gouge out your heart~"
"..."
Zhao Zongheng's back suddenly froze. The first half of the sentence sounded so tender and moving, but the second half was so creepy.
Si Ningchi was lying under him, smiling brightly, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes, like the monster that transformed in the middle of the night, eating people's hearts.
Zhao Zongheng swallowed his saliva and said very seriously: "...Do you like to eat people's hearts?"
Si Ningchi: "...?"
How did his thinking jump to this? Did she mean that?
Just when Zhao Zongheng was trying very hard to convince himself to accept Si Ningchi, he heard Wang Chengxiang shouting at the bottom of his voice: "Your Majesty, something big has happened! The Yuming Palace has been compromised, and Concubine Yuan is still inside!"<
/p>
Wang Chengxiang climbed up to the observatory almost on his hands and knees, his tone full of panic.
Zhao Zongheng stood up straight, stretched out his hand to help Si Ningchi up, turned to look at Wang Chengxiang who had climbed up, and frowned: "The weather is so humid now, how can the Yuming Palace, which is so good, have water leakage?"
"I don't know, I don't know. The fire is too big and has not been extinguished yet..." Wang Chengxiang said with a bitter face.
"Show me!" Zhao Zongheng's face darkened. If someone was burned to death, something big would happen. Today is the queen's birthday, so why wouldn't such an unlucky thing make him angry?
Si Ningchi followed Zhao Zongheng to Yuming Palace, and he really saw the flames rising into the sky. People were panicking when they saw the thick billowing smoke. Next to him, he saw a maid kneeling on the ground crying for Concubine Yuan.<
/p>
Si Ningchi looked inside the house and saw a guard holding someone in his arms and breaking out of the door.
"Quick, hurry up and announce the Imperial Physician! It's Imperial Concubine Yuan!" Someone quickly stepped forward to splash water, stretched out his hand to feel Concubine Yuan's pulse, and shouted loudly in surprise.
"Cough, cough..." The guard who rushed into the fire to save people was burned beyond recognition. He lay on his back and coughed quietly, which attracted everyone's attention.
"Oh my god, how dare you go in to save people in such a big fire..."
"It's really life-threatening."
"Look at those clothes, aren't they the guards of Yuming Palace?" The thin voice came: "With such a big fire, everyone who saw the fire came to put out the fire. They were probably the patrolling guards outside."
Only then did Si Ningchi step forward and see clearly the face of the guard. It was Qin Huai who was on duty in the palace.
Qin Huai wiped some ash on his face, and his cheeks were probably red from the heat. He coughed for a long time before he saw Si Ningchi standing beside him. He quickly came forward and bowed down and said, "See you, Your Majesty, the Queen."<
/p>
Zhao Zongheng also saw Qin Huai. He still had some impressions of Qin Huai. After he was allowed to work in the palace, he paid no attention to him at all. He didn't want to meet him again in this way today.
"Let the imperial doctor take a look at his injuries." Zhao Zongheng glanced at his back, waved his hand and let him go without saying anything.
"Is there anyone else inside?" Zhao Zongheng turned to look at the guards who were still struggling to put out the fire and asked.
"Reply to the emperor, it's gone. The other palace members of Yuming Palace rescued it immediately."
Zhao Zongheng nodded when he heard the words, and left when he saw that the fire was gradually under control.
Concubine Yuan was sent to the nearest palace, Libi's Jade Palace, for treatment. Libi had just slept for a while when she was awakened by the shouts of someone trying to put out the fire. At this moment, she looked at the person who was being carried in.
Concubine Yuan was even scared to death.
"Concubine, see the emperor." Li Concubine probably didn't expect that the emperor, who had been looking forward to it so much but could not come, would come to her palace in this way today, and hurriedly went out to greet her. It was probably because she had not dressed up, and she was a little agitated.
Sorry to raise my head.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This incident happened unexpectedly, but I didn't dress up before..." Concubine Li lowered her head and whispered.
"It doesn't matter." I won't look at you if you don't put on your makeup or not.
Zhao Zongheng strenuously crossed over Concubine Li and sat down at the main seat. While waiting for the imperial doctor's diagnosis, he had the palace maids and eunuchs beside Concubine Yuan brought in for interrogation.
Concubine Li thanked her and quickly went down to freshen up and dress up before returning to the front hall. She saw a crowd of people kneeling in the hall.
Concubine Yuan's personal maid knelt on the ground and sobbed, shaking her head and praying: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, have mercy on me. I really don't know why the fire suddenly broke out. Your Majesty ordered us all to get down."
"I didn't let the servants wait on me. I said I wanted to be alone for a while."
"Who knows..."
"Who would have thought that the fire suddenly broke out and it was so big."
Everyone's opinions were basically the same. They said that Concubine Yuan was too sad because of Concubine Rong's death. She often stayed alone. She had nightmares last night. She screamed for a long time, cried and murmured something.
I wanted to shame the imperial doctor, but Concubine Yuan refused.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know what's going on..." The servant girl who was kneeling on the ground was scared and crying.
"You're lying." Si Ningchi looked at the maid and narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "As Concubine Yuan's personal maid, since you know that she has nightmare syndrome, you will not worry about leaving Concubine Yuan alone to poison her."
"If there is a fire in the palace, the palace people guarding outside the palace should not be able to see it. Even if they can't see the smell of the fire, they can't smell it?" Si Ningchi looked at the people in the palace with a flat look and said: "If a small fire follows,
It was extinguished casually, but with dozens of people in Yuming Palace, the fire could still be allowed to burn."
"Do you think this palace and the emperor can be easily fooled?" Si Ningchi chuckled, looked at the leading maid and said with a smile: "This fire was set by Yuming Palace itself."
"Empress! You must not slander anyone!" Wen Xing raised her head in panic, looked into Si Ningchi's eyes and lowered her head in a hurry: "If this is the case, how could Empress Yuan Fei be trapped in the fire?" p>
"Look at how anxious you are, I am just guessing." Si Ningchi curved his lips and smiled, and his words were so casual.
