Vol 3 Chapter 27: Burning Zhanxing Tower

?Imperial Palace, Yongning Palace
Two dark shadows rushed into the side hall, and when they saw Kagura Hou Wanli's knees weakened, he knelt on the ground and said:
"Master Hou, what a minion should be, what a minion should die—"
Seeing their swollen noses and swollen faces, Wan Li immediately understood something and yelled aloud:
"You have good skills, why can't you even pick up a yellow-haired girl!"
A kowtow, his hands covering half of his face with purple shoe prints, he said:
"Everyone is stuffed in sacks. Who knows that I met a guard of the imperial army on the way, and he was really good at it!"
"Dog things that are greedy for life and fear of death--"
Man Li yelled at him, slapped his iron palm on the corner table, and immediately smashed the entire table to pieces. +++ Popular Tanmei Novels: EbookFREE.meo
Not long ago, he lost his ugliness in front of Gu Yunxi, and Wan Li held a grudge.
It was the eldest sister Wan Yuyao who also gritted her teeth at Gu Yunxi for Leng Qingtang, so she ordered several martial arts servants to design Gu Yunxi on the night of the autumn festival, and Wan Li would respond.
After the plan was completed, Wan Li took the people to Nanyuan and rewarded the nursing homes for trampling and ravaging, so that people would be happy.
It's not a big deal to lose a maid in the palace, the big deal is that she fell into the lotus pond and drowned, so she can't just find a reason. Anyway, Concubine Xu made a fuss, and the days passed without seeing people. As for Leng Qingtang, Wan Yuyao was confident to deal with it.
It's fine now, there is some bad thing in the way, he is afraid that he is tired and crooked.
Wan Li turned his back in anger and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked:
"Can you see what that person looks like?"
One internal servant:
"Ye Hei doesn't look very real. If you look up the night patrol at Yunzhongtai tonight in the Forbidden Army, the minion will admit it to himself, and he can always remember it."
...
After returning to Chuxiu Palace to get Mao Qiu all the way back to Baohe Hall, Concubine Xu was really anxious.
Hearing that Gu Yunxi was calculated and the four princesses testified, Concubine Xu believed what they said.
Xu Fei knew something about the person who robbed her this time, so she didn't say anything again.
Because of Wang Chen's troubles, Concubine Xu had nothing to do with him, so she sent Gu Yunxi to take him to Chuxiu Palace first. Net o South China Ji Yan found it interesting, so she followed along.
The three and the two maids, the five arrived at the Chuxiu Palace in the shape of a wolf, and they met Lan Xinye.
Gu Yunxi made two bowls of marinated noodles with his own hands, and asked Lan Xin to find some snacks. The three of them ate and chatted around the table in the penthouse.
Gu Yunxi has some understanding of Ji Yan's background in South China. The emperor and the queen's progeny daughter, the proud daughter of heaven.
When the prince died that year, Queen Qian could not afford to be ill, and almost followed the prince.
The empress Jiyan of South China worshipped Buddhism, and she led hundreds of servants of the palace maids to wear hair in Yonglu Temple to pray for the empress and the emperor's brother.
As early as a year before Gu Yunxi changed his capacity and entered the palace, Ji Yan of South China returned to the palace after completing his studies.
South China Jiyan and Wang Chen stepped into the penthouse hand in hand, curiously looking left and right. Gu Yunxi was a little uncomfortable, and looked embarrassed when he poured the tea:
"The place where the subordinate lives is simpler, and I hope the princess will not dislike it."
He said, serving tea with both hands. See you, the first palace lady is busy blocking.
"Hey! Yao'er, don't be unreasonable."
South China Ji Yan opened her eyes, took the tea and blew it directly into her belly.
The other maidservant said:
"The Queen Mother has asked you not to eat anything outside of Kunning Palace."
South China Ji Yan sat down on the chair with a grin, spread her hands:
"What are you afraid of? This is in the Xufei Palace. Besides, Brother Huang has been here more than once, right?"
Hua Nanxin was putting snacks in his mouth and nodded when he heard the mush of snacks in his mouth:
"Yes, yes, I often eat and drink here at Niangniang Xu. Miss Sister has the best craftsmanship and has never made mistakes."
During the talk, Lan Xin entered the room and brought freshly cooked glutinous rice to everyone, and then he quit.
Ji Yan from South China tasted the noodles and was very happy and praised again and again:
"It's delicious, it's more delicious than any dish at the family banquet!"
She followed the example of the king of Chen, rolled up her arms and rolled up her sleeves, took a bowl of noodles, sucked the noodles in her mouth and squeaked.
The maidservants of the two palaces repeatedly persuaded them to maintain their image and to be decent. They provoked South China's Ji Yan into a rage, and drove them out of the house, facing the wall. o
Gu Yunxi watched and smiled secretly, not wanting the emperor and the queen to give birth to such a baby girl. In the future, if any man becomes her husband, he will probably suffer.
Wang Chen put down the bowl after he was full, and asked incomprehensibly:
"Could it be that I remembered it wrong? Simei, aren't your two court ladies named'Lian'er' and'Xiu'er'? When did you change their names?"
South China Ji Yan swallowed the last bite of the marinade, wiped her mouth and smiled slyly:
"I changed it!'Lian'er' and'Xiu'er' are the names of Yang Cainu and Ye Fei. Now the people I hate more are Wan Yuyao and Gu Yunjin, so naturally they changed these two close ladies Your boudoir's name."
Gu Yunxi couldn't bear it, "pouch" and smiled.
This stubborn princess is really interesting.
After hearing this, Wang Chen was also holding his belly, thumbs up, and praised:
"The imperial sister is mighty, the imperial sister is smart!"
"Of course, anyone who dares to be disrespectful to the emperor in the future, just tell me. I'm back and won't let others bully you anymore."
South China Ji Yan raised her eyebrows proudly, and stuffed Wang Chen with a piece of chrysanthemum cream.
Gu Yunxi sat on the side of the table and watched, suddenly feeling emotional.
Although South China Jiyan was born to a queen, she was close to Wang Chen. It seemed that she was not affected by the hatred of her mother's generation to mock him or oppress him.
Because of this situation, Gu Yunxi sincerely gave infinite respect to the wayward four princesses.
...
Another day, the dusk was heavy, the sunset was overwhelming, and the low pressure enveloped the sky over the Sifang Sisi, like a magnificent and airtight net, the scene was magnificent and magnificent.
Yesterday at the family dinner, Emperor Xiao drank a cup and fell asleep when he returned to the Palace of Qinming. The next day, she flopped and went to bed, but Xu Yuanjiao didn't expect it, but Gu Yunjin from Weiyan Pavilion was the one who ordered.
When the news reached the Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Xu was painting plums, and she only said one sentence without a trace:
"Forget it, there are the imperial concubine and Xichang on the other side as shields. Sun Shengsheng is afraid that this chess piece will not be used."
Gu Yunxi was pouring snow ear soup for the empress, and when he heard the turning of his eyes, he smiled:
"It's not necessarily. Jin Jieyu will definitely fight for favor on the other end. The slave and maid have another trick to help Sun Jieyu come back."
...
The night is graceful.
Inside the Luo Teng, Gu Yunjin was lying in the bright gold brocade bedding with a fragrant dragon, with a delicate smile on her face.
If you want to be prominent, you have to suffer secretly.
Her godfather Minglan's mantra that often babbles in her ears is indeed the most plausible saying.
Thinking of looking sideways for Bo Dijun, I had put in all sorts of hard work before, unable to eat, swallow, and practice and conjure tricks. In exchange for today's achievements, all the efforts were finally in vain.
The bead curtain moved, there were footsteps, and then a low call sounded:
"Jiner..."
There was a sudden chaos outside the Tailuan Temple, the figure shook, and the sound of the gongs mixed with shouts was endless.
Some eunuchs shouted: "The emperor, the Zhanxing Tower is out of water. Now that the wind is helping the fire, the emperor, you and the little lord, should drive to Tianshui Yan to avoid it."
"Zhanxing Tower?"
Emperor Xiao's complexion changed drastically, his face turned into ashen as the eunuch's words, his facial features twitched, and he hurriedly walked outside the hall when he split the curtain and flicked his sleeves.
Behind him, Gu Yunjin got up hurriedly and sat on the dragon bed with her face covering her chest with a large spring light, the water in her eyes fluctuated and she shouted:
"The emperor, the emperor...!"
...
Palace, Zhanxing Tower
When the emperor's honor guard arrived, the 13-story pagoda-shaped building was surrounded by raging fire and thick black smoke.
The tongue of fire swallowed arbitrarily, ferocious and distorted, and most of the sky in the dark night was brightened by the fire light. Countless crows surrounded the top of the fire-breathing glazed tower, whirling and wailing in despair.
Numerous guards, eunuchs and palace ladies were in a hurry, and those with buckets and spades went back and forth, using clean water and dry lime to put out the fire.
Zhanxing Tower was built by Emperor Xiao according to geomantic and geographical advantages and built specifically for the national teacher Yuxuanji. It contains Taoist scriptures, spiritual flags and spells, as well as the machinery and instruments used in gazing and astrology.
The emperor replied, I heard that the water in Zhanxing Tower was not in a hurry, so I naturally left Gu Yunjin and rushed to the scene of the fire?
Long Xian stopped at the safe boundary. Emperor Xiao looked at the fire from a distance, and suddenly noticed that among the many shouts and shouts, a few shrill voices were relatively abrupt.
There are also many court ladies in the team that wants to come to fight the fire, which is not worth the fuss.
But soon, Emperor Xiao saw a flamboyant plain clothes rushing out of the first floor with flames.
I saw her holding a stack of scriptures in her arms, and when she ran out in panic, she stumbled over the threshold, leaned over and fell to the ground.
"Little Lord"
A court lady ran up to help her, but she pushed her away, screaming in her mouth:
"The scriptures, fast guarding scriptures! Those are the extinct Taoist scriptures, the emperor is the most favorite, go quickly—"
The little palace lady was so scared that she repeatedly said yes, and left the woman to pick up the scriptures.
Emperor Xiao was deeply infected and hurriedly got off the dragon's blade, hurriedly walking over regardless of everyone's obstruction.
The woman in plain clothes had already climbed up on her own, and the swaying Zheng Jian Dijun walked to her eyes, and almost sat on the ground with a soft leg.
Emperor Xiao waved her into his chest, looked at her smoky little face, and whispered softly:
"Shengsheng, how did you run here? How dangerous!"
Sun Shengsheng's dirty little face was flushed with shame, and he nodded and said:
"Back to the emperor, the Zhanxing Tower is not far from the concubine's Hanxiang Pavilion. How can the concubine who walked here turn a blind eye?
Moreover, the emperor said, the things in this building are naturally your treasures, and the concubines only hate the lack of manpower and cannot grab more. "
The emperor was moved, and he touched the beauty's forehead with a groan:
"It's silly, you are my treasure."
The fire was quickly brought under control, and someone reported to the emperor to give him peace of mind.
Emperor Xiao took a long breath, looked at the beauty in his arms, and said softly:
"Beauty said that this is the nearest to your bedroom? Would you like to take me to your place for a cup of tea and be shocked?"
Sun Shengsheng's eyes lit up with joy, and said lightly:
"How can the concubines be unwilling?"
