How is this saving people? This is clearly setting fire to people! Despicable!
With a low curse, Su Tong's eyes searched around the room, and finally stopped at the small window on the back wall - she could only escape from there before the house burned down!
"Sister-in-law of the Third Emperor..." Xuanyuan Shuo's voice was full of tears. Looking at the fire spreading around him, his little body trembled with fear. He could only hold on to Su Tong's clothes tightly.
Trying to find a little comfort.
"It's okay, I'll take you out." Su Tong patted his shoulder and comforted him, then lowered his eyes and looked at the iron chain on his foot - the chain was shiny silver and looked expensive to make.
It must be quite time-consuming to cut it off!
Fortunately, there is a small lock at the foot of the bed.
Su Tong quickly pulled out her hairpin, put it into the small keyhole, gritted her teeth and tried a few times, and opened the lock with a "click".
She didn't have time to cut off the remaining chains, so she simply rolled them up and handed them all into Xuanyuan Shuo's hands: "Take this and find a way to get it off when you get out!"
Say wow, take his hand and rush towards the back window.
"Ho ho!" Huo'er roared angrily towards the door, almost the next second he was about to rush out and kill the person who fired the arrow, but was stopped by Su Tong.
"Huo'er, we can't be discovered in the palace!" With a low voice, Su Tong called back Huo'er's attention, made a gesture to it, indicating it to leave through the back window, and then took Xuanyuan Shuo with her.
Then I followed...
Behind the house is a small pool, not deep, which leads to the imperial garden.
In order to deceive others, Su Tong took Xuanyuan Shuo and walked in the pool. When he saw someone passing by, he sneaked down and finally made it all the way to a remote corner of the imperial garden without any harm. When he looked back again, he saw the palace where Xuanyuan Shuo lived.
, has turned into a sea of fire, the raging fire engulfed the nearby house, spewing out billowing smoke...
If you still stay in that room, how can you survive?
Su Tong felt happy in her heart, exhaled heavily, and then pulled Xuanyuan Shuo next to her: "Let's go."
"But..." Xuanyuan Shuo looked at his room hesitantly, a trace of unwillingness and pain flashed across his young face, "That is my king's home..."
"Your home is still here, but your family has become bad." Su Tong sighed softly, took Xuanyuan Shuo's hand and climbed out of the pool, and encouraged him a few words, "You have to live well and work hard to change."
Only by being stronger can you have a chance to go home again."
He is just a child now, he doesn't understand anything yet, and he is really not suitable to stay in this deep-water palace.
too dangerous!
It’s too cruel to a child’s heart!
***
Taking Xuanyuan Shuo with him would make it inconvenient to explore the palace. Su Tong weighed it up and decided that it would be better to take Xuanyuan Shuo out and find a place to settle down first.
After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to take him to that inn - because at this juncture, for Xuanyuan Shuo, only that place was the safest!
**********
After taking Xuanyuan Shuo back and settling in, it was already the middle of the day.
After the fifth aunt heard that he was the sixteenth prince in the palace, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a while. She looked at Su Tong with even more confusion. She couldn't help but speculate in her heart about Su Tong's identity - what she was like.
Who can sneak into the palace and bring the sixteen princes out like this?
But she was surprised. On the surface, she didn't ask anything. She just nodded, agreed to Su Tong's request, and took Xuanyuan Shuo into the room at the back of the inn to stay there. She would report truthfully when Xuanyuan Hao came back.
Su Tong smiled gratefully at her fifth aunt, took Huo'er back to the room first, changed out of her half-wet clothes, and then sat quietly on the edge of the bed, her face becoming solemn...
"Huo'er..." She picked up a towel and wiped the hair she had just washed, and murmured thoughtfully, "It's tomorrow..."
Tomorrow is the day of the emperor's burial. The imperial mausoleum is opened, and success or failure depends on this.
Huo'er sniffed the palm of her hand, lowered his head and rubbed her arm, as if sensing her uneasiness, and tried to comfort her.
"You must come with me?" Su Tong twisted the dog's ears with a towel and wiped all the wet hair on its head, then took a deep breath and uttered a complete sentence.
Huo'er made a few "gurgling" sounds in his throat and looked at her with round eyes full of determination.
"Good brother, you are so loyal!" Su Tong smiled, patted it on the back, and spoke optimistically, but then fell silent, and the softest corner of his heart still couldn't help but feel a touch of hesitation and hesitation.
Sadness - she doesn't know what will happen tomorrow? She is also really afraid of that eerie and weird imperial tomb! She doesn't want Huo'er to lose her life with her, and she doesn't want to leave Xuanyuan Hao forever...
"Alas..." After a long time, Su Tong sighed, threw the towel in his hand aside, and touched Huo'er's head, "Dry it off and go out to play for a while! I'll take a nap, I won't be there tomorrow night.
Such a good sleep!"
Tomorrow night should be in the imperial mausoleum, it's strange that she dares to sleep!
Huo'er circled around her several times, grunted in his throat, and soon jumped out of the window obediently, leaving Su Tong alone, immersed in the silence of the room.
