Chapter 83: The Eternal Emperor System (2)
When Ding Yun was in the inner palace, he was thinking about how to get rid of the confinement and finally leave the palace and return to the eldest princess' mansion.
The chamberlains who returned to their respective posts.
Then you have already started taking advantage of the fact that no one is around.
We murmured privately and discussed what we had just seen.
"You also saw the white light emerging from the eldest princess's body, right? It's probably not an illusion that I saw wrongly!"
"It's not an illusion, I saw it too."
"Could the eldest princess be an immortal descending to earth?"
"But if the eldest princess is really an immortal descended to earth, why has nothing happened in the past so many years? Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any auspicious signs."
"Perhaps the immortal has just descended to earth!"
"Could it be some kind of witchcraft?"
"I would say you are not observing carefully.
Haven't you noticed any difference between the eldest princess and yesterday? I remember clearly that yesterday the eldest princess's face was sallow. Not only did she look weak, but she also seemed a little sick. She was not in good health at first glance.
But what you just saw, the eldest princess’s complexion can be said to be rosy and shiny. We know very well whether anyone has sent anything in these days.
Besides, even if someone brings food in.
What food can help a person turn from a sallow complexion to a rosy complexion in just one day? Is it a magic medicine?"
"Oh, it seems to be true!"
"Yes, I remember that when I saw the eldest princess yesterday, I was a little worried about whether something would happen if we continued like this, and whether His Majesty would be angry with us if something happened.
The eldest princess does look very healthy today."
"It seems that even if the eldest princess is not an immortal, she must have obtained the fate of an immortal, so she can recover quickly."
…
"That's enough, what are you discussing here?
Why don't you quickly return me to my original position? What does the matter of the eldest princess have to do with you? Who dare you to talk about members of the royal family in private, please return me to my original position."
However, they didn't discuss it for long before the leader of the guards discovered them and quickly scolded them.
Then, because of the discussion about this matter, the few guards who gathered together involuntarily dispersed like birds and beasts, returned to their original positions, and continued to stand guard.
But related discussions have become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
I guess it won't be kept secret after I return.
Instead, it will be used as a conversation piece with family and friends.
At the same time, Ding Yun was thinking about whether she should relent a little and lift the confinement first, after all, if she was kept here all the time.
Don't talk about trying to become an emperor or anything like that.
Whether you can survive or not is a question!
But when she was asked to just give in, knock on the door and tell the servants outside that she knew she was wrong, and asked them to find her father, Ding Yun felt unwilling to do so. He even thought that the original person might not be satisfied with her, so she gave in.
So after hesitating for a while, Ding Yun decided to find another way and find a way to leave. The way she came up with was to tiptoe, take down the tallow candle from the copper lamp not far away, and then start to leave.
Inflammable items are arranged in the inner hall and lit one by one.
The entire structure of this hall is basically made of wood.
Add some silk and cotton fur to match.
Although the fire wouldn't start immediately, there was absolutely no problem in igniting it. Then Ding Yun was not in a hurry and made a simple mask for himself.
So he waited by the side first.
Wait until the flame burns completely.
Then he left the inner hall unhurriedly.
And the chamberlains outside are not blind. When the flames first burned inside the inner hall, they might not be able to see them, but when the flames burned completely.
When the flames rose outside the house.
How can I still not see it?
Immediately afterwards, of course, some people hurriedly called on the people nearby to put out the fire, while others immediately rushed into the hall to see if anything had happened to the eldest princess.
If nothing happens, the eldest princess must be rescued quickly.
It will undoubtedly be quite busy after that.
However, even though the maids and eunuchs from other palaces not far away came to help, the fire was still not completely extinguished due to the lack of water nearby.
They were all destroyed in the sea of fire.
Just because the flame burns relatively slowly.
So there were no casualties.
It’s just that everyone is putting out fires and is a bit disgraced.
At the same time, of course, someone reported the relevant situation. At this point, Dugu Xiao remembered that his daughter was still confined there, and then began to ask her if she was okay. After knowing that she was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief.
And he frowned and issued a decree.
Basically, let the princess go back to the princess mansion to reflect on herself.
And he most likely did this not because he felt sorry for his daughter, but because he was worried that something might really happen to the eldest princess. The world might have thought that he must kill all the members of the previous royal family, and even served as the queen and queen mother of the previous royal family.
His own daughter-in-law was not spared.
This is obviously not conducive to the stability of people's hearts, and the world will definitely think that he is too cruel, and that the poison of a tiger will not eat its seeds.
In addition, there were not many spare palaces in the palace except the harem where the concubines were accommodated. Now that that palace was destroyed, the only remaining palace that could accommodate his daughter was the East Palace.
But this is obviously inappropriate.
Therefore, it is logical for her to leave the palace and go back.
Actually, Ding Yun didn't expect to leave just by burning a palace. She just wanted to leave that palace first, and then see how Dugu Xiao reacted before taking the next step. But she didn't expect that she would need to do it step by step.
Things turned out to be amazing in one step.
Done it directly.
Of course, Ding Yun obviously would not object to such a good thing, so he quickly accepted the order and hurried back. Not only was he eager to leave the palace and regain his freedom, but he was also a little worried about his princess's daughter who stayed in the princess's mansion.
I haven't seen myself for several days.
Don't know what to do?
The princess mansion given to the original body by Dugu Xiao was actually the mansion of the eldest daughter of the Ling Emperor. However, the eldest princess of the previous dynasty had been beheaded by Dugu Xiao, so the vacant mansion was directly given to the original princess by him.
Not only does it save time and trouble, you don't even need to replace the plaque.
Because that was originally the eldest princess's mansion.
Check-in is really a snap.
But because of this, the residence is not very far from the palace. After leaving the palace, it only took Ding Yun five minutes to return to the eldest princess's residence, and received a warm welcome from the maids. Someone brought her daughter out.
Seeing her, someone also prepared a brazier, grapefruit leaves and other things for her to remove bad luck and prepare to wash away the misfortune.
These maids were all brought out from the palace by the original person. Not only have they been with the original person for four or five years, but they are almost mutually beneficial to each other, so they are very loyal.
Faced with these treatments, Ding Yun accepted them calmly.
First he stepped over the fire pot, then dipped his whole body into some water soaked in grapefruit leaves, and finally washed his hands, then picked up his daughter, looked at her, and communicated for a while.
Then I showered, changed clothes, and got ready to rest.
After struggling for a long time, she was tired.
