Chapter 23 In the Light of Fire
In November, it was the time when the weather was dry. The people in the old palace were on guard at all times, and even after several night patrols, the Princess Mansion was still flooded.
Xin Yi was woken up from his sleep by his servants in the middle of the night. He stood in the yard wrapped in a quilt, looking at the firelight in the sky, and heard Xiao Cong carrying a bucket of water. His face was covered with charcoal ash and he was out of breath. He said breathlessly:
“Princess, its The fires in his palace and rooms are nothing, but Master Tushan’s room is burning so badly that no one can get in now!”
The quilt on Xin Yi’s back suddenly slipped to the ground, regardless of his nakedness! He kicked his feet and ran towards the wing like crazy.
Along the way, she passed countless palace servants, and she grabbed a few at random. When she caught them, she asked:
"Have you met Mr. Tushan?"
The visitor shook his head.
Looking at the flames flying in front of her eyes, Xin Yi felt suffocated. All she could think about was-his legs were not healed yet and he had to take medicine every day. Can he escape?
A beam wrapped in flames fell from a height, collapsed, and hit the ground heavily, sending sparks flying everywhere.
Xiao Cong ran over with a quilt in his arms and put the quilt on Xin Yi. He was about to comfort her, but unexpectedly, she grabbed the bucket from the servants' hands and poured the entire bucket of water on the quilt. He poured another bucket of water, soaked the quilt, put it on his body, and then rushed to the side room without hesitation before anyone could react.
Princess? Princess!
Xiao Cong’s heart almost jumped out of his throat.
Going around the doorpost, Xin Yi shouted as he walked in:
"Tu Shansong, are you there?"
A fire door fell to the ground with a sound, but there was no Tu Shansong there.
She estimated the place and walked towards the bed again. Xiao Cong's voice came from behind:
"Princess! Don't go in, it's dangerous inside!"
Xin Yi Ignoring it, I kept rushing in. There was nothing here, not that place, not behind the door, not on the bed.
She felt like the sky was about to collapse, billowing smoke filled her lungs, and scorching flames licked her clothes and the ends of her hair.
No, Tu Shansong, nothing can happen to you. I managed to save you. Even if you and I are ruthless, I must let you live!
But where is your presence in this house?
In the bamboo forest outside the princess's house, Yu Jingmo held a pot of sake and patted the dust on his clothes:
"It would be a pity to burn such a good house."
The man next to him was dressed in black, and his cloak fell to the ground, revealing his bright face. His eyes were as long as the autumn moon, full of sorrow.
Tu Shansong glanced at the princess palace: "No problem, if I don't set this fire, Emperor Jing will do it."
Yu Jingmo glanced at him with some sympathy: "Then what are your plans in the future? Going back to Qingqiu? "
In the future? Now that he has given up his career of revenge, he wants to realize his childhood ideal - to wander around the world in idle clouds and wild cranes, and become a country doctor who can help the world by hanging pots.
Just as Tu Shansong was about to speak, a magpie flew over in a hurry and chirped at the two of them. Yu Jingmo was about to ask what he meant, but saw that there was no shadow of Tu Shansong beside him?
"There is danger in curling up——"
This was the last sound left for him in the air.
He rushed all the way inside. The door was closed tightly. If he climbed over the wall, it would take a lot of time.
Tu Shansong activates the heart technique, which can force the use of spiritual energy in the royal realm, which will inevitably cause internal chaos and the five qi will go backwards. But how could he care about this at this time!
The door fell to the ground, and Song rushed to the northwest wing. Everyone in the mansion was in chaos, and the northwest wing was filled with flames.
Xiao Cong carried a large basin of water and poured it into the wing. It had already reached the center of the room, but the fire was so fierce that the beams burned down and fell down.
Song rushed into the fire without even looking at it.
Thick smoke billowed down, and Xin Yi fell on the bed covered with a thick quilt.
This fool... There was a sour feeling in his heart, but then there was the sound of deep, thick ice melting and breaking.
Have you ever seen a person willing to give up his wealth and glory to save a prisoner who has repeatedly assassinated him?
He picked up Xin Yi, turned around and walked out the door, when a beam fell down and hit him hard on the back.
Tu Shansong almost fell to the ground, but he used his spiritual energy to hold on, and with blood oozing from his mouth, he still walked forward stubbornly.
The spiritual energy is overflowing, emitting a dazzling light in the firelight, like the sparkling Buddha's light, faintly melting the burning heat around you.
Fool... these two words only echoed in his mind.
Outside the Princess Mansion, on top of the bamboo forest, Yu Jingmo stood on the top of the bamboo, looking down at the Princess Mansion with the flames soaring into the sky, and took another sip of wine.
"Tu Shansong, if you don't save her, won't your revenge have to be avenged? Really, I want her to die, but I can't bear to do it."
But in the world of things, he will always be the snake. What the demon cannot explain.
The short distance from the bedroom to the door used to be just a few steps, but now it is so long.
Finally, he walked out of the wing with scars all over his body. Xiao Cong and the others hurriedly gathered around him. Xin Yi's eyes were tightly closed and his lips had lost all color.
Xiao Cong was the first to cry with a trembling voice: "The princess is already weak, how can she withstand the fire poison! Go and call Aunt Chuncheng!"
Everyone poured water in unison, and Huazhu hurried to find Chuncheng.
But is it still useful to find a medical officer at this time?
Tu Shansong felt his heart aching, and he murmured:
"Why...why, Niao Niao, I am not worthy of you..."
How could he be worth it? ? He worked hard for many years just to take her life one day.
He set fire to the princess's palace just so that he could escape from the royal family and take advantage of the chaos.
He is nothing but the son of a beast slave. He has lived in humiliation for many years just for revenge. What qualifications does he have?
Tu Shansong's heart was as sharp as a knife, and he lived a long life. Finally, he met someone who valued him, but he was the enemy he had been determined to kill since he was a child.
He slowly leaned down, and his lips gently fell on Xin Yi's lips.
I have nothing to worry about in this life, I just can’t bear you to leave because of me.
In the bamboo forest, on the clear springs in the mountains, in the moonlight, between heaven and earth, there is everywhere spiritual energy flowing at this moment, gathering from all directions.
Chuncheng, who hurried over with the medicine box, couldn't help but feel doubtful. When she looked up, she saw spiritual energy all over the sky converging in one place. She had never seen such a scene in her life. She couldn't help but wonder, could this be the case? It's the legendary...
She strode towards the northwest wing.
This kiss is affectionate and lonely. The direction of love can make life or death. Today, Tu Shansong is willing to exhaust his spiritual energy in exchange for a glimmer of life for the woman in his arms.
When Chuncheng arrived, like everyone else, he stayed where he was, staring blankly at the scene in front of him——
Tu Shansong was holding his princess, sitting outside the firelight. The scorching shadow of the jumping fire reflected on his face. He closed his eyes, and one gentle and light kiss after another fell on Xin Yi's lips. , one peck after another, showing infinite nostalgia and tenderness.
After a long time, he slowly stood up. His eyes were like water, and he looked at the girl's face dreamily. Thousands of spiritual energy merged into the girl's heart. In just a moment, the gray on the girl's face automatically dissipated. In the wind, it regained its former ruddy color.
A slight smile appeared on Tu Shansong's face.
Chuncheng hurried forward and took Xin Yi's wrist, and her hanging heart finally fell.
——
In the palace and outside Yongshou Palace, palace officials came to report in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, the princess's palace is in trouble!"
Emperor Jing woke up from his nightmare. When he heard the words clearly, he rushed out of the bed barefoot, opened the door, and grabbed the palace man. collar.
"What did you say?"
The palace man's voice trembled, and the two sides quarreled: "Your Majesty, there was a leak in the princess's mansion. It was put out just now. The princess was injured, but fortunately there was no accident. Big trouble!”
Throwing the palace man ten feet away, Emperor Jing stood up and said to the concubine in the tent:
"Change my clothes and show me to the princess' mansion."
I have always wanted to write an earth-shattering story. A love story
But I have never experienced anything earth-shattering
So judging from my many years of lonely life experience
If one person can accompany another person in a kind, gentle and stable manner
It is the greatest luck and the deepest love
