The firelight illuminated the entire night sky, as if the stars and clouds in the sky were burning.
Deng lived alone in a beautiful embroidery building in the palace. At this moment, the embroidery building had become a sea of fire. The raging fire was filled with the sound of crackling and exploding wood.
Waves of flames swept along with the wind, devouring everything around them, causing people's hair to curl and their skin to ache, making people afraid to get close.
Lady!
King Qin Zhu Ping looked at the sea of fire in front of him, ignored the pull of the palace people around him, and shouted to the helpless guards and slaves, "Put out the fire for me!"
With a roar, in the sea of fire, the huge burning wooden pillars collapsed, and countless sparks flew everywhere.
Madam! Zhu Qiang beat her chest and cried loudly, you slaves like dogs, if you don’t put out the fire, I will kill you and bury you with my lady!
There is really no way to save such a big fire! Even if the fire is extinguished, there is no chance that the people inside will survive! Even if they are not burned to death, they will choke to death long ago.
But who dares to disobey the prince's words? The guards, palace attendants and others in the prince's palace pushed water carts and other objects and began to put out the fire despite the heat wave.
Wang, who was following Zhu Xi, had a cold face, frowned at the unseemly King Qin, and scolded the people in the palace, "Why are you standing there, protect the prince!" After saying that, he glanced timidly, and stood silently not far away.
Zhu Yunxi looked at everything.
At this moment, Zhu Yunxi was also looking at her.
In the palace, there were only three of them who knew that Deng was about to die. Zhu Fang had always been by Zhu Yunxi's side. Even if he tried to fool around, he would not dare to tell anyone about it in front of Zhu Yunxi.
The only possibility is that Wang secretly leaked the news that Deng was going to be hanged.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi's cold eyes, Wang felt frightened. She stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am guilty of this concubine. Please punish me!"
Zhu Yunxi looked at her for a long time and said calmly, that's all, you are kind-hearted and you are thinking about King Qin and Gu Gu!
Wang felt a little relieved and boldly said that the prince is stubborn and the concubine is afraid. He couldn't think about it for a while and complained in his heart to His Highness!
Zhu Yunxi smiled again. He didn't want to expose Wang's little plan, but looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, and Zhu Ping who was crying beside him said, "Do you think Deng will really burn himself to death?"
How could that foxy girl be willing to die? Wang also looked over and frowned.
Yes, all stupid and cruel people are afraid of death! Zhu Yunxi sneered, if she really wanted to die, there were ten thousand ways, why choose the most painful one: burn to death? I'm afraid she was thinking of destroying the body and eradicating traces.
There is no proof! As he said this, he sneered again. What a stupid plan and how brave!
These words seemed to have some meaning, and Wang felt a chill in her heart and lowered her head.
Only he knows whether the second uncle is resentful or not. But after all, he is Gu's biological second uncle. For the sake of his father, Gu will not care about him! Looking at the fire in front of him, Zhu Yunxi continued to speak, but if the second uncle in the future
If he does things that are unscrupulous, insulting to the country, and violates the emperor's laws, Gu will not forgive him. The favor here is not endless.
Don't worry, Your Highness, I will advise the prince in the future! Wang said, if the prince makes a mistake again, I will hold him accountable!
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Fu Rang, the commander of the East Palace Guards, came close to Zhu Yunxi and whispered a few words. The latter's expression was particularly wonderful and he couldn't help laughing.
Lao Li is really a wonderful man! Go tell him and bring people in!
Then, Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Xi who was still leading people to put out the fire, snorted and called King Qin to come over. His concubine was not dead!
It was another elegant hall of the prince's palace. Zhu Ping came in impatiently, opened his mouth and asked, how did your highness know that the person was not dead?
After finishing speaking, I was a little dazed. I saw Cao Guogong Li Jinglong kneeling on the ground, asking for forgiveness from the emperor's grandson.
Second uncle, how long will you continue to act? Zhu Yunxi is sitting on the Taishi chair with a bad look on his face. It's nothing for you to lie to me, but you dare to lie to the emperor. You are deceiving the king!
Zhu Qing didn't understand why, what did your highness mean? When did I deceive you?
Still pretending! Zhu Yunxi slapped the armrest of the chair and said angrily, isn’t this the message you gave Li Jinglong? Your beloved concubine Deng Shi has fled outside the palace. If Li Jinglong hadn’t paid attention and asked Gu Gu one more time, even Gu would have been deceived.
Got it!
Zhu Chong was even more confused, but he was still a little happy when he heard that his beloved concubine was not dead. He hurriedly asked, "Little Lizi, what's going on? Where is the person? Why did he get to you?"
In his desperation, Li Jinglong blurted out his old nickname.
Chitose, in the afternoon, Taohong, the concubine of your house, ran to the army to find me! Li Jinglong said, she said... She made a mistake and offended the emperor, and she wanted to be hanged.
Mr. Deng, but the prince is reluctant to part with him, is there any reason?
Zhu Ming was so anxious, that's what happened! Where are the people?
Then Na Taohong said again, you were reluctant to let go of Deng, and you didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order. So she thought of a trick to fake death and let her escape from the palace to temporarily avoid the limelight. Because she was afraid of being caught by the guards outside, she asked her to let her go.
Open the net. Li Jinglong said quickly, she also said, in fact, you have already agreed with the Emperor Taisun on this matter. You and His Highness the Taisun are uncle and nephew, and the Emperor Taisun cannot bear to order your love to be hanged.
Concubine. So you uncles and nephews, put on a show and show it to others!
Zhu Xi was stunned, when did the king say this?
Li Jinglong spread his hands, but that's what Tao Hong said. She also said that as long as I open my eyes and don't let the guards interrogate people who leave the mansion, the prince will definitely retaliate in the future!
He was dizzy and lost his mind! Zhu Yunxi said angrily from the side, "How dare you say such a thing? King Qin, what else in the world do you dare not do? Not only did you deceive the emperor, but you also secretly made friends with the courtiers, and even falsely conveyed the emperor's edicts."
.You are so stupid for a woman. If the old man finds out, can you still keep your title?
Zhu Fang was suddenly frightened and said loudly, Your Highness, I never said this. I am with Your Highness today and never leave. I don't want her to die, but how can I have the chance to report the news to her!
No matter how confused he is, he still knows the stakes.
No matter how much he loved Deng, he couldn't love her more than his own life.
If these words and these things really reach the ears of the old man, he will be doomed! All of them are the heinous crime of seizing the title, imprisonment, and even a glass of poisoned wine.
What the old man hates most is that others lie to him. Especially his close relatives lie to him! Moreover, as the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, to do such a thing for a woman is comparable to rebellion!
Prince, that’s what Taohong said! Li Jinglong continued, it’s absolutely true! She also said that the prince had already arranged for Deng to find an unrelated person, kill him and put him in the embroidery building.
After the fire, there will be no evidence of death!
Fart, I never said that! Zhu Fang was not a man of words. In a hurry, he almost wanted to roll up his sleeves and punch and kick Li Jinglong.
Zhu Yunxi said coldly, since the second uncle refused to admit it, I had nothing to say. I didn't dare to specialize in this kind of rebellious crime of deceiving the emperor. The guests, Deng and Taohong, and their confessions, together
Send it to the capital to punish the old man!
Your Highness! Zhu Xi was shocked and said loudly, if my father knew about this, my life would be at stake!
He was not a fool. The emperor ordered Deng to be hanged, but something like this happened in his own palace. Regardless of whether the old man believed what he said or not, his end would not be good.
At this time, Wang's voice suddenly came from outside the door. It must be that bitch. Knowing that he could not escape the death penalty, he was talking nonsense in the name of the prince to deceive Duke Cao Guo!
After the voice fell, Mrs. Wang came in, knelt down and said, Your Highness, that bitch has always been evil-minded. She must have known that she could not escape death, so she risked her life and used this method. After saying that, she cried again, Your Highness, although our prince is confused,
But his temper could not be more outright, how could he, how dare he, do such a thing?
Then, she cried again and pulled Zhu Ming's sleeves, wailing loudly, "My lord, haven't you seen the face of that bitch clearly yet? In order to survive, has she ever thought about you and the whole family?"
Life! If she really escapes, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won’t be able to escape. Can the old man tolerate you? Can the laws of the Ming Dynasty and the laws of Taotao tolerate you?
I am afraid that others will only believe what she said and will not doubt it. When the time comes, who among you, my concubine, and the children in the family, among the more than a thousand people in the palace, will be able to survive?
