"Princess, please slow down a little, or let me hold you. It's so late at night, so don't fall."
Huang Ying followed Su Jiu quickly with the palace lantern in hand, anxiously advising.
"No, Sister Huang Ying is too slow to hold Jiu'er. Jiu'er will run and write quickly." Su Jiu raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, her almond-shaped eyes widened, trying hard not to cry.
Huang Ying sighed lightly, stopped persuading, and quickened her pace.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, the guards hurriedly came to report that there was a leak in Weiyang Palace. Fortunately, yesterday was the birthday of the Ninth Princess, and the palace maids and eunuchs were so busy that they didn't sleep until they were close to the princess, so they got up when they saw the light of the fire.
However, due to the sudden rise in temperatures in recent days, the fire could not be controlled immediately.
If this was the case, Your Majesty would not let the Ninth Princess go to Weiyang Palace alone, but the matter was not over yet. Before Zhou Fu finished reporting, another guard hurried over, saying that His Highness was weak.
, Concubine Liu fainted several times.
His Majesty was worried, so he got up to take a look. Before leaving, he specifically asked the Ninth Princess to stay in the lotus garden with peace of mind. However, the Empress could not resist the Ninth Princess, so she allowed the Ninth Princess to run out on her own.
Crickets chirped from both sides of the grass, and the seven stars in the sky were particularly dazzling.
The Lotus Garden was some distance away from Weiyang Palace. Su Jiu didn't know how long she had been running. When she ran past a rockery that blocked her sight, billowing smoke suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. The fire swept through the thick smoke and spread into a sheet, covering the area not far away.
The whole sky is illuminated.
Su Jiu suddenly stopped, her almond-shaped eyes reflected the blazing light, and her lips murmured unconsciously.
"Brother Jingyi."
Seeing Su Jiu stop, Huang Ying hurriedly walked to her side and heard the ninth princess murmuring, comforting her: "Don't worry, princess, Jing Yi will be fine."
At the same time, I was secretly alarmed that the Ninth Princess seemed to care a little too much about Jing Yi.
She could understand the dependent nature of children, and she also knew that Ninth Princess had played well with Jing Yi before, but she didn't expect that Jing Yi was so important to Ninth Princess.
"No! No!"
Su Jiu's face was pale, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but there was an indescribable feeling in her heart. This fire... was abnormal.
After saying that, De did not wait for Huang Ying to react and ran away.
Huang Ying sighed and hurriedly chased after her.
As we got closer to Weiyang Palace, we saw the guards and eunuchs busy coming and going, filling basins with water to put out the fire.
Huang Ying was stunned for a moment, and just about to reach out her hand to hold Su Jiu, she saw Su Jiu suddenly accelerated and rushed into the palace, "Princess!!!"
Huang Ying was shocked, "Quick! Stop the Ninth Princess and don't let the Ninth Princess get close to the fire!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and wanted to step forward to stop him, but they had something in their hands, and the villain slipped through everyone's legs, like a loach, and they couldn't catch it at all.
Huang Ying followed behind and was unable to stop her. She could only watch Su Jiu rushing into the palace despite the fire. Huang Ying couldn't help but screamed: "Ninth Princess! Save the Ninth Princess! What if the Ninth Princess has anything?"
What a mistake! Your Majesty will never forgive you!"
At this time, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the fires in other palaces were under control. Only the eunuch's residence near the Ninth Princess's bedroom was raging, and the fire did not diminish at all.
As soon as Su Jiu's small figure rushed into the burning palace, a beam on the beam broke and hit the ground with a bang.
