In an instant, the peaceful night was torn apart by screams.
Panic shouts mixed with screams came together, and the entire Xiangguo Temple was alarmed.
Hanhan was so frightened that he sat up straight and looked around blankly: "What's going on? Is it thundering?"
"It's not thunder, the temple is flooded. Put on your clothes and come out with me!" Xiao Lingyue's eyebrows were condensed, realizing that the situation was not good.
How could it be such a coincidence?
When Emperor Zhaoming arrived at Xiangguo Temple in the evening, the temple caught fire in the middle of the night?
The houses in Xiangguo Temple are all wooden buildings connected one after another. As long as a fire breaks out in one corner, the fire will spread easily due to the mountain wind. Coupled with the strong smell of tung oil in the air, the whole building may be burned.
.
This was obviously an arson!
Moreover, Zhan Beihan is not in the temple now. He didn't know what news he received in the evening, so he took the Dragon Scale Guard down the mountain.
Combined with the fire outside, the tung oil, and the explosion just now...
Xiao Lingyue suddenly thought of a word.
Tune the tiger away from the mountain!
There are imperial guards guarding the Buddhist temple, and there is no shortage of guards around Your Majesty, the Prince and others.
Xiao Lingyue suppressed her uneasy mood and put on Hanhan's clothes: "Let's leave the house first. Can you leave by yourself?"
"I, I can..." Han Han also saw the fiery red light outside, and was frightened away from any sleepiness, and hurriedly jumped out of the bed.
Beibei was also woken up and his face turned a little pale.
He is not in good health and usually needs a lot of rest. Now he was woken up just after falling asleep and his face looked very bad.
Xiao Lingyue touched his forehead distressedly and felt a patch of cold sweat. She didn't care much about it. She took a coat and put it on Beibei, then wrapped it in a cloak. She bent down to pick up Beibei and held Hanhan.
Go outside.
"Mom, where are we going?" Beibei frowned and asked softly.
"Go to the main hall, where the most imperial guards are guarding." Xiao Lingyue answered quickly.
The fire tonight was definitely not an accident, it was deliberately set on fire. Even Zhan Beihan was transferred in advance, and the most powerful Dragon Scale Guard was not there. The opponent's purpose was probably to assassinate.
I just don’t know whether the assassin’s target is Emperor Zhaoming or the prince.
That would be fine if it was Emperor Zhaoming.
If it were the prince...
She and her two children lived next to the prince's wing. It was too dangerous here!
Xiao Lingyue had no intention of showing off, she had to save her two children first.
Beibei was in poor health and couldn't run and wasted time, so Xiao Lingyue simply hugged him and walked away.
Han Han followed her step by step, his little face tensed up.
As soon as the mother and son went out, they saw a dazzling fire not far away, thick smoke rising into the sky, the mountain wind assisted the fire, and a heat wave rolled in.
"Oh my God! Such a big fire..." Han Han was stunned with shock.
Beibei was also shocked.
A delicate and pale little face was reflected crimson by the firelight.
Xiao Lingyue frowned slightly. She was not familiar with the terrain of Xiangguo Temple and could not tell where the center of the fire was. She could only roughly judge that it was in the direction of the main hall.
The whole temple was alarmed, with shouts and screams everywhere.
Along with the crackling sound of fire burning wood, thick smoke and ashes dispersed, and the vision became blurred.
