Seeing the emperor approaching, everyone felt as if they had a backbone and rushed inside to search and rescue. At this time, someone shouted with difficulty: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The Jiggong is coming!"
Many guards were refreshed and looked back.
The so-called exciting barrel is actually a wooden water tank with a layer of tin hanging on the inside. There is a general column in the center of the water tank. The general column supports the lever pressure beam, and the pressure beam connects the two pistons on both sides of the general column.
When in use, the water tank is filled with water, and two people press the two ends of the lever hard. The two pistons press the water in and out in turn, and the water is fired from the top pipe to the fire.
This design is much more effective than the traditional method of carrying buckets to put out fires. In the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, Yinzhen had already had people imitating Western designs in the Forbidden City and made more than ten buckets, which were scattered around the Forbidden City. On the main roads of Qing Palace, Taihe Palace, Donghua Gate, Yangxin Palace and the East and West Sixth Palace.
It's just that after so many years of peace and quiet, many people have completely forgotten about this matter.
Not to mention the Old Summer Palace.
The number of barrels in the Old Summer Palace was less than one-third of those in the Forbidden City, and they were all piled in the warehouse in the southeast corner. Now that they had finally been dragged out, the guards stood behind the barrels in a hurry and started shouting slogans. , began to cooperate with each other.
Yinzhen gritted his teeth and looked at the fire in front of him. He had just stepped out, but before he stepped out, Su Peisheng's face turned pale, and he knelt down with Hongli and Hongzhou.
Su Peisheng's whole body was hung up on Yinzhen, and he hugged his thigh. He didn't care about the dignity of the chief steward, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty!!"
Hongli's eyes were red, he knelt forward and kowtowed a few times before saying: "The emperor's body is rich in gold! He is bound to the country, so he must not put himself in danger!"
Hong Zhou followed and kowtowed beside him, and hesitantly said: "What the fourth brother said is absolutely true! There are many people in the palace putting out the fire. I believe that the sixth brother will be rescued soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the nanny next to him exclaim: "Princess!"
Everyone turned to look, and saw that the third princess had taken advantage of the servants' attention to the two elder brothers, suddenly broke away from the shackles of grandma, and rushed into the fire scene.
She ran so fast that she staggered and one of her flowerpot-soled shoes fell off.
Without saying a word, the third princess stretched out her hand and took off the other flower pot-soled shoe, threw it aside very quickly, pushed away an obstructive little eunuch in front of her, and like a little tiger, she picked up the corner of her clothes and went to Li rushed in as hard as he could.
Yinzhen shouted loudly: "Xi'er!" and ran after him.
Su Peisheng couldn't stop him, so he tilted his body and fell onto Hong Zhou.
The third princess had just rushed up the stairs a few steps when she bumped into someone head on.
Also coming towards me was the huffing and puffing Qilin following at the man's feet.
A drop of blood fell on the forehead of the third princess.
She raised her head and saw Xiao Fenzi's body crumbling, and the corners of her mouth were full of blood.
He was carrying a person on his back.
It's Brother Six.
He finally couldn't hold it any longer and suddenly knelt down.
Almost at the same time, Yinzhen had already strode forward and hugged his son at the moment Hongxin was about to fall.
A group of guards immediately surrounded him.
Ji Ling staggered over.
Amid the bustle of people, Xiao Fenzi let out a long sigh of relief, only to feel a sharp pain in her chest and shoulders.
He couldn't help it any longer and fell backwards. He turned his head and vomited out a large mouthful of blood. With the last blurred vision, he looked forward. It was Bixue running towards him with tears on her face, and she stumbled on the steps again.
Strange, I can't hear any sound at all!
Xiao Fenzi thought softly, closed her eyes, and finally fell into the deep darkness.
…
When Hongxin woke up, it was already midnight.
He first felt the temperature in the thermal pavilion, the soft quilt under him, the beating candlelight, and the sound of his mother crying.
He tried hard to open his eyes.
Everything in front of me gradually changes from blurry to clear.
He slowly recognized it, it was the spring pavilion of the Tiandi family.
E Niang's eyes were swollen like two peaches from crying. When she saw him open his eyes, she rushed towards him almost in disbelief.
"Imperial physician! Imperial physician!" Ji Ling held her son's hand and shouted desperately.
As soon as she shouted, she realized that her voice was completely hoarse.
Yinzhen, who was sitting next to him, immediately stood up, stepped forward in three steps, touched Hongxin's forehead and said in a hoarse voice: "Hongxin! Huang Ama and your mother are both here, don't be afraid.
!”
Three or four imperial doctors stumbled over and knelt down in front of Sixth Brother's bed. Chi Liu stepped forward to take a look. Yinzhen stood up and made way for the imperial doctors, and stretched out his hand to hold Hongxin's shoulder.
Hongxin started to cry, and while raising her hands to wipe her tears, she said with difficulty: "Huang Ama, my son hurts..."
At this moment, he was no longer a prince, but just an ordinary little boy who had had enough of being frightened. He also wanted the blessing and protection of his parents, and did not want a scene that was like hell and a nightmare.
Ji Ling watched her son cry, as if a knife was cutting up and down in her heart, the pain was unbearable.
She stepped forward and protected Hongxin in her arms, patting his back and saying, "It's okay! It's okay! I promise you - this kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
Hongxin cried miserably, while Yinzhen watched from the side without saying a word, only the veins on his forehead twitched slightly.
While Hongxin was crying, she looked down at her other injured arm. There was a small fire burn on that arm. Ointment had been applied, but the wound was still burning, as if there were thousands of little ants.
It's like a bite, trying to burrow into a person's flesh.
The elbow has been broken.
After the imperial doctor made the diagnosis, he knelt down to the Emperor and Concubine Chen and said that it was fortunate that the sixth elder brother was rescued. If it had been delayed for another hour or three, he might not be in the current situation.
Having a broken elbow and burned skin is a blessing among misfortunes. As long as you take good care of yourself, there will never be any root causes of the disease.
Ji Ling asked the imperial doctor with red eyes: "Sixth brother inhaled so much smoke in the fire scene, is it harmful to his lungs?"
She remembered clearly that before time travel, her company gave a fire safety lecture and mentioned that in a fire, most people were not burned to death, but were smoked to death.
Thick smoke with extremely high temperature can turn into a fire in just two minutes, and can also pose a threat to people far away.
The thick smoke inhaled by the survivors in the fire - not to mention the various toxic substances contained in it, the temperature alone is already extremely high, almost more terrifying than drinking a pot of boiling water!
Smoke enters the throat and directly burns the respiratory tract, leading to respiratory burns and various complications, such as acute respiratory insufficiency syndrome and pulmonary infection.
The imperial doctor knelt down and said: "Hui Chen, the concubine, thanks to the inhalation, there is no serious problem. In other words, if it had been hindered, the sixth elder brother would not be in the same situation as he is now. Please rest assured, the concubine!"
