"That's it for today, the court is over!" Emperor Yao stood in the main hall with a gloomy face, his eyes slightly darkened. Eunuch Wu quickly rushed forward to support him.

"Retreat!" As Eunuch Wu's shrill voice sounded in the palace, the courtiers raised their heads and found that Emperor Yao had left the dragon throne.They looked at each other and whispered that Emperor Yao seemed to have not made a decision on this matter yet.

The second prince walked out of the main hall, avoiding other people, and came to a hidden corner of the corridor.At this time, a eunuch walked up to him cautiously and whispered:

"Your Highness, Mr. Tan Shaojian from the Taishi Bureau went to the East Palace last night, and was then sent to the Changyang Palace for questioning by His Majesty."

After the eunuch finished speaking, he bowed and stepped aside. The second prince turned his back to him and could not help but frown, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

"I understand, are you okay, concubine?"

"Back to Your Highness, Concubine Yue is fine. She asked me to tell Your Highness not to be impulsive and to try to protect yourself," the eunuch replied.

Hearing this, the second prince felt even more worried.He knew he had to stay calm now and not act rashly.

He took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone: "Step back and tell the concubine not to worry. I will find out who framed her as soon as possible."

The second prince frowned and looked heavy.He walked down the steps uneasily, feeling that something was about to happen, which made him feel very uneasy.

He has been in a state of nervousness since his mother-in-law was framed.

At this time, his mind was filled with various possible situations and response methods, and every detail was considered over and over again in his mind.

That night, because Emperor Yao ordered a city-wide curfew, the streets of Kyoto became very deserted.Every house is closed and they dare not go out.

Only some brave people opened their windows to watch the night sky.

They saw that in the starry night, a bright moon hung in the dark blue sky, like a huge disk, without anything abnormal.

Huo Yunjue jumped into Ning Ziqing's Xiyuan early. He held Ning Ziqing in his arms and jumped onto the roof quickly.

The bright moon hangs high in the night sky, like a silver plate suspended in the dark blue sky, emitting a soft light.Huo Yunjue took off his purple robe and wrapped Ning Ziqing tightly.

He picked up a bottle of Taoxiang Zui from his side, handed it to Ning Ziqing, and said with a smile: "I promised to compensate you."

"Then I'm welcome!" Ning Ziqing took the bottle and took a few sips.A sweet and slightly astringent aroma of wine spread in her mouth, leaving her with endless aftertaste.

Huo Yunjue also picked up the wine bottle, took a few sips, and asked doubtfully: "Are you sure that the demon star will split into fireballs and fall in Kyoto tonight?"

Ning Ziqing stared at the night sky, searched for the memories of past lives in her mind, pondered for a moment and replied:

"If I remember correctly, it should be around [-]:[-] tonight. When the star passes from north to east, passing through Kyoto in the Kingdom of Nanyao, it will break into pieces and fall down, causing a fire. By the way, have you notified the people in the Fire Prevention Department?" She looked sideways. Looking at Huo Yunjue, he looked a little worried.

"Don't worry, I have already given them a message in advance, asking them to prepare fire-extinguishing tools and guard the streets of Kyoto." Huo Yunchue showed a calm smile on his lips, rested his elbows on the tiles, and looked up at the stars.

"That's good."

Ning Ziqing nodded and took another sip of Taoxiang Zui.

She clearly remembered the disaster three years ago, when the demon star fell from the sky and split into several bolides, causing large fires and burning down countless houses, causing heavy casualties and causing chaos in Kyoto.

The second prince did not actively put out the fire during this disaster. Instead, he focused on going to the palace to report to Emperor Yao that the disaster was because the prince was immoral, so God would bring disaster.

After the fire, the prince lost the favor of Emperor Yao and was almost deposed.

From then on, the second prince monopolized power in the government affairs, excluded dissidents, and appointed a group of treacherous villains, causing the entire court to become a mess.

Thinking of this, a stern look flashed in Ning Ziqing's eyes. She knew very well that the methods used by the second prince in the power struggle were vicious. If she could not suppress him completely, she and the people around her would definitely be put in danger.

Huo Yunjue saw Ning Ziqing deep in thought and thought she was still worried, so he gently patted her shoulder and signaled her not to think too much.

"Don't worry, we will succeed." Huo Yunjue comforted her with concern.

"Yes, it will definitely succeed." Ning Ziqing smiled at him, raised his head and took a sip of wine.Huo Yunjue looked at her slender and white neck, and a trace of desire surged in his heart. He quickly looked away, trying his best to control the urge to kiss her.

The night was getting slightly cooler, Ning Ziqing nestled in Huo Yunjue's arms, her cheeks flushed, and there were several empty wine bottles piled up beside them.

Ning Ziqing held Huo Yunjue's arm and asked him softly with a hint of drunkenness:

"Ah Jue, have you ever thought about becoming an emperor?"

After hearing her words, Huo Yunjue frowned slightly, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he was stunned for a long time.

Then he lowered his eyes, gently placed his palm on her cheek, and said softly: "You are talking nonsense again. You are drunk. I will send you back to sleep."

He chuckled lightly and put his hands on Ning Ziqing's waist, preparing to help her stand up.But Ning Ziqing suddenly grabbed the front of his chest and angrily stopped him from getting up:

"I'm not drunk. I'm asking you seriously." She looked at Huo Yunjue intently, not as if she was joking.

Huo Yunjue looked into Ning Ziqing's eyes. After thinking for a moment, he replied in a serious tone:

"What if I say I want to?" He was born into the royal family, so he would be deceiving himself if he said he didn't want the throne.

"I will help you, Ah Jue, you will definitely become the emperor." Ning Ziqing seemed very happy after hearing his answer. She stretched out her hands and hooked Huo Yunjue's neck, with a twinkle in her clear eyes. bright light.

Huo Yunjue was startled at first, then flicked her forehead with his finger, raised his lips and said with a smile: "Ning Ziqing, you are so loud? Do you still want to be the queen?"

"I just want to be the queen, I want to be the queen of Ah Jue." Ning Ziqing's apricot eyes flashed lightly, with a pair of clear eyes filled with expectation.

Huo Yunjue stared at her quietly for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Okay, I promise you to be my queen." He curled his lips and smiled, and looked at her tenderly with a pair of loving eyes.

Not long after he finished speaking, a dazzling light flashed across the sky and bloomed in the deep blue night sky, like a huge gem emitting dazzling brilliance.

"It's that demon star, it's coming." Huo Yunjue exclaimed.

Ning Ziqing looked up at the night sky following his voice, and saw the star dragging its slender tail, splitting into countless meteors, swaying and flashing, like bright ribbons dancing on the sky. It is spectacular and stunning.

"It's so beautiful." Ning Ziqing was deeply shocked by this magnificent scene.

Then the speed of the demon star became faster and faster, and when it flashed across the sky over Kyoto in an instant, several fireballs fell from the sky, making a huge roar, and fell in the city of Kyoto, causing flames to appear all around and countless people screaming in fear. The scene was abnormal. confusion.

Fortunately, the Fire Prevention Department had already taken countermeasures, and the fire did not spread or cause large-scale riots. Kyoto City soon returned to calm.

Huo Yunjue looked around nervously, the firelight reflected on his face. He frowned slightly, pulled Ning Ziqing up, and said worriedly: "I'll send you down, you stay in the room, don't go out. It's not very good outside." Safety."

Huo Yunjue hugged Ning Ziqing and landed smoothly on the ground. At this moment, a fire shot up into the sky not far away, and the fire was extremely powerful.

Huo Yun took a quick look and saw that the direction was exactly where the palace was.His expression instantly became tense, and he felt an uneasy feeling in his heart.

"No, there's a fire in the palace. I'm going to see if my mother and concubine are safe." Huo Yunjue's tone was filled with anxiety and worry, his brows were furrowed and his expression was solemn.

Ning Ziqing rubbed his hand and comforted him: "Go and have a look, don't worry about me!"

Huo Yunjue nodded, quickly climbed up the wall and shouted towards Weiyu.

"Weiyu, protect Miss Third, be careful if someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wei Yu responded.

Ning Ziqing turned around and went back to her room. The sound of opening the door woke Yinxiang up.

Yinxiang lit the oil lamp, looked at Ning Ziqing in surprise and asked, "Miss, have you just come back from outside? Why are you wearing a man's robe?"

Ning Ziqing was stunned and realized that she was still wearing Huo Yunjue's purple robe. She was speechless for a moment. After pondering for a moment, she no longer wanted to hide Yinxiang, so she could only answer truthfully: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness lent it to me."

"Did you just go to see His Highness the Fourth Highness?" Yinxiang covered her mouth in surprise.
