【16】Fire in Fengqing Palace
If an ordinary person heard this hollow and frightening voice, they might be so frightened that they would tremble and curl up under the quilt. Unfortunately, Leng Hanxue is not an ordinary person, but an exorcist dragon who has been dealing with demons and monsters since he was a child.
Successor. Anyway, whether there is really a ghost or someone deliberately pretending to be a ghost, she can deal with it calmly.
Therefore, facing the situation in front of him, Leng Hanxue still lay there motionless, as if he had never heard any sound.
When she felt a gust of wind approaching her, she opened her eyes suddenly, but she only had time to catch a glimpse of a plain white back.
At that moment, she couldn't help but snorted coldly in her heart: "Who said ghosts must be dressed in white and have disheveled hair? There is no innovation at all! Real ghosts are much prettier than you!" At this second, she was completely sure that the ghosts were not the ones who came.
What a real ghost, but a trick meant to scare her. She knew very well who was behind this trick.
Apart from Concubine Xiao, whom she had just offended this morning, she could not think of anyone who would have the leisure and leisure to play with her, a fallen queen.
"Give me back my life!" Soon, the voice came back again, and its tone was even more stern than before, which made people's hair stand on end.
Leng Hanxue, who was already confident about the person behind the scenes, was no longer willing to spend time with this man who was pretending to be a ghost. So, she quickly sat up from the bed and at the same time reached out in the direction of the man, intending to catch her.
.
But she didn't expect that the man's reaction was faster than she expected. Before her hand could touch the man, the man had already quickly bounced away and instantly floated out of the window on the right side of the room, disappearing without a trace.
.
Without thinking much, Leng Hanxue took out a small golden dagger inlaid with rubies from under the pillow and chased after the man.
Leng Hanxue didn't know that shortly after she followed the man and left the room, a fire broke out in Feng Qing Palace inexplicably and fiercely.
On the other side of the room, the emperor turned over the green sign in the evening and was served by Concubine Xiao from the Yanxi Palace. At this time, the two of them had already turned off the lights and rested.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." The visitor was the Emperor's personal steward, Xiao Xiazi. After receiving the report of the fire in Feng Qing Palace, he hurried over to report to the Emperor.
"What's the matter?" The emperor, who was sleeping lightly, immediately opened his eyes after hearing the voice of the steward. Xiao Xiazi has been with him for many years, so he knows his work and rest habits well. He believes,
If there wasn't some urgent matter, Xiao Xiazi would definitely not dare to disturb him at this time.
"Your Majesty, the eunuch just came to report that there was a fire in Feng Qing Palace."
The emperor, who seemed careless at first, became extremely serious after hearing that there was a fire in Feng Qing Palace. Soon, he sat up from the bed, disturbing Concubine Xiao who was already sleeping soundly.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" she asked, looking at the Emperor's profile with sleepy eyes.
"My beloved concubine." The emperor turned to look at Concubine Xiao and said softly. "There is a fire in Feng Qing Palace. I want to go over and have a look. You can rest by yourself!" After that, he stood up from the bed.
Seeing this, Concubine Xiao immediately stood up from the bed and served the emperor to dress.
After finishing dressing up, Concubine Xiao hesitated again and again, but finally had the courage to put forward her request to the emperor. "Your Majesty, I would like to go to Feng Qing Palace with you to have a look. Please allow your permission." After that, she said to the emperor.
The emperor slowly recovered.
"allow."
