Chapter 302 In the Sky
The fire is everywhere, and the bright red light shines the whole palace red. This fire is estimated to be the largest one in the history of Canglan Palace.
The fire burned for nearly four hours and was not extinguished until dawn, and one-third of the whole palace was burned.
When Mo Ao heard the news, he almost spit out another mouthful of blood. Fortunately, Mu Qingya has recuperated for him in the past two days, so he did not faint and made the palace busy again. Yesterday, he and Yu Jinghong just discussed the conditions for exchanging prescriptions, but just had a concern, he heard that one-third of the palace was burned by fire. How could he not be angry?
"What the hell is going on?"
The bodyguard who came to report knelt on the ground tremblingly, and his face was full of cold sweat: "Your Majesty, the fire rose from Yingkexuan, where the envoy lived, the Huayu Palace where Princess Mingli lived, and Jingningxuan, where Princess Mu lived. Because there has been no rain in the past few days, and the wind rose at night, the fire burned especially by the wind. Awesome, I waited for the rescue overnight to put out the fire. Please plead guilty."
Mo Ao's eyes were abrupt: "Do you think the fire started from the place where Yu Jinghong, Duanmu Mingli and Mu Qingya lived?"
"If you return to the emperor, it is true, and..."
"Your Majesty, the envoy asked to see you." A eunuch came over at the door and reported carefully.
Mo Ao frowned: "Let him in. I also have something to ask."
After a while, the embarrassed Yu Jinghong came in. There were traces of spark burning on his clothes, and his face and head were black, and he could not see the original appearance at all: "Yu Jinghong has seen the emperor. Please make the decision for Weichen!"
"Tell it!"
"Your Majesty, Weichen only discussed the conditions for exchanging prescriptions with the emperor yesterday, but he did not expect that there would be a fire in the middle of the night. In addition, when the fire was burning, two people in black quickly escaped from Yingkexuan. At that time, Weichen quickly ordered the bodyguard to chase him, but he did not expect that he did not arrest him in the end. Yes, please issue an order and investigate it quickly. Weichen suspects that the prescription has been stolen by those people!"
Mo Ao was shocked: "What did you say? The prescription was stolen?
"When he returned to the emperor, Weichen wanted to take out the prescription last night and give it to the emperor at dawn, but he didn't expect to recruit the thief. The thief not only wanted to steal the prescription, but also wanted to kill Weichen and Princess Mingli and Princess Mu. Otherwise, the fire would be too light. This is to completely vicissitude. Lan and Yuhan have a dispute again. Please check it clearly.
Mo Ao was extremely angry. The plague has been delayed for more than two months. Although soldiers were sent to surround the cities of North and South counties to control the disaster victims to go out, the plague could not be surrounded. What's more, the news of the death of a large number of people came every day, and the number of mob united to resist was also As the king of a country, he slept restlessly almost every night. He thought that such a situation could be solved, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"Come on, go and meet the commander of the Xuanjing Guard."
The incident of the palace fire caused an uproar throughout the vicissitudes. After investigating the palace, the commander of the Beijing Guard found traces of tung oil in the burning palace, and a man in black was burned to death in the palace because he did not have time to escape from the palace. After investigation, the person who was burned to death turned out to be Mo Junyu. Keqing then found a jade charm on his body. After investigation, the evidence pointed directly to the second prince Mo Junyan.
Mo Ao was furious after learning about it. At this time, he didn't know who it was. Unexpectedly, it came out that the matter of Mo Junling piercing blood and copying the scriptures was fake. He used animal blood, not his own blood. Then an imperial doctor went to investigate the completed scriptures, which was really used. It was copied from chicken blood. Mo Ao was really angry and went crazy. He sent someone to take Mo Junwei to the palace on the spot and scolded him. From his mother's concubine to what he later did, he counted it from beginning to end. Although those words were not recorded by the historian, it was a fatal blow to Mo Junyan.
What is more frightening is not these, but the people who heard the news. They were looking forward to the emperor's prescription and saving them from water and fire, but they didn't expect it to come out. The prescription was stolen by the second prince but destroyed. If they go back to Yuhan to get the prescription at this time, it will be delayed for more than a month. Time, they are struggling every day. How can they wait so long? More and more people participated in the riots, clashed with the army who went to suppress it, and many people were killed! Such a situation is like a vicious circle, and the whole North County area is suffering!
In the palace, Mu Qingya and Duanmu Mingli were rescued. But because the people who went to the rescue were not in time, Duanmu Mingli's arm was burned a lot!
Mu Qingya sat by the bed and helped her with medicine: "Why does the princess have to toss herself like this?" Duanmu Mingli has informed her in advance. She didn't need to be injured, and the injury was too serious. It has been three days and she took the best medicine, but the wound has not healed.
Duanmu Mingli smiled carelessly: "I am the princess of Yuhan. Even if I am injured, no one dares to say anything about it. In addition, the three palaces are on fire together. If everyone is fine, it seems unreal anyway. I am injured, which makes Mo Ao believe more and more. After all, as a princess, I have nothing. Isn't it the reason to burn yourself for no reason?"
Mu Qingya smiled and gently helped her wrap up the wound: "The wound must not touch water. I will use the best medicine and will not leave any scars on your body."
"Okay," Duanmu Mingli smiled and glanced at the wound carelessly. "With your words, I'm relieved."
A group of maids came in with their meals. The Leqi conductors put their things on the table and waved them out before they walked to Mu Qingya and said, "Princess, princess, the meal has been prepared. Let's eat first."
Duanmu Mingli nodded: "Okay."
Mu Qingya looked at Leqi: "Is there any news from the other side of the envoy?"
"When I returned to the princess, there was no news from the envoy, but I heard that the emperor had issued an order to detain the second prince, and the second prince's house was also being searched."
Mu Qingya's eyes moved and flashed a little smile: "Okay, I know."
After eating, the two chatted for a while before going to the two palaces to rest. After entering the door, Mu Qingya called Leqi in: "How's things going?"
"Miss, things are not going well. Although the second prince was imprisoned, he is the emperor's son. Although some officers and soldiers went to search, they did not find any favorable news. Now things are still deadlocked."
"Miss, I know, but at this time, it's too dangerous to send the shadow guards out. Once the second prince's mansion strengthens its guard, then it's not easy for the emperor to come out. In case..."
Mu Qingya slowly sat back in the chair, slowly loosened her tightly clenched fingers, and slowly suppressed her excited breath: "You're right. I'm too anxious. I ordered the dark guard to be on alert at all times. If something happens and I fight for my life, I should also make sure that Duanmu Lingyu is safe and sound."
"Yes, Miss!"
