"What?" Yinzhen was shocked.

Although Suiyuxuan is far away from Yikun Palace, they are on the same horizontal line.

The thick smoke from the Shattered Jade Pavilion blocked his view from below. Looking up, Yinzhen thought only that the fire in the Shattered Jade Pavilion was raging and did not think of anything else.

"Go quickly!"

Although Yinzhen was angry with Nian Shilan, he really couldn't bear to let her die like this.

Otherwise, according to the crimes of the Nian family, how could she, a domineering concubine in the palace, escape the emperor's reckoning?

At Yinzhen's shocked and angry command, the imperial guards ran forward with buckets of water. When Yinzhen strode to the gate of Yikun Palace, the fire from the Yikun Palace had already burned half the sky red.

Excluding the imperial guards, all the people busy in front of the Yikun Palace were palace servants from the Chuxiu Palace.

There were guards on duty at the door, eunuchs from Chuxiu Palace, and even the head maidservant beside Wen Yuan, who was there to give orders in an orderly manner.

Longsha, Yinzhen naturally recognized it.

As soon as Yinzhen arrived, he heard Longsha shouting to everyone at the top of his voice,

"Quick! The fire in the main hall has been brought under control! Three, two, one! Sprinkle water! Take the wet blankets and go in to save people quickly!!!"

Yinzhen actually recognized this quilt embroidered with floral patterns.

That was the one he had specially selected for Wen Yuan in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but now it was soaked with several full buckets of water and carried by four young eunuchs into the Yikun Palace, which was still ablaze with flames.

"Quick! Keep sprinkling water, don't stop! Go through the windows! Don't go through the door! It's going to collapse!!! Quick!"

Longsha had a handkerchief soaked in medicine tied around her mouth and nose. She stared wide-eyed into the thick smoke, watching the way for the young eunuchs who were rushing into the sea of ​​fire.

Not just a group of young eunuchs, even the imperial guards subconsciously followed her orders.

With enough manpower finally available, the fire showed no signs of spreading and Nian Shilan was finally rescued.

She was carried out wrapped in a quilt.

"Imperial Physician! Where's the Imperial Physician?!"

The doctor on duty tonight is the newly hired doctor Xiao Li. He has never seen such a grand occasion before.

He then slid down to his knees and rushed in front of Yinzhen and Nian Shilan, and began to feel their breath and pulses, muttering,

"I am late, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Such efficient action made it impossible for Yinzhen, who wanted to vent his anger, to find any fault at all. He could only wait anxiously for the results of the young imperial physician, gasping for breath.

“Reporting to the Emperor, this… Empress inhaled too much smoke and fainted, with multiple burns on her body.

If I can't wake up tonight and have a high fever, it would be very dangerous.

Please move the queen to a safe place away from the wind. I will first give her acupuncture to see if I can wake her up. If she can take a bowl of medicine, she will naturally feel much better..."

The young imperial physician did not recognize that the woman whose life was in danger and whose face was covered in black and gray was the once-powerful Concubine Hua. He made mistakes in his wording in a panic, and no one pointed them out and corrected them.

Yinzhen saw that Nian Shilan showed no signs of waking up, as if she had already passed away. Without much hesitation, he spoke,

"Come here, send Nian to the main hall of Yongshou Palace for treatment."

"Whoo."

The imperial physician, together with the palace maids and eunuchs who came to help from Chuxiu Palace, escorted Nian Shilan all the way to Yongshou Palace for settlement.

At this time, Songzhi, who was also covered in dust, did not forget to come to Longsha before leaving. In front of everyone, she cried and kowtowed fiercely, saying,

"Miss Longsha, I would like to thank Concubine Qi on behalf of my master."

After knocking his head three times on the ground, Songzhi's head was already covered with blood.

"Miss Songzhi, there's no need to be like this. It was you who found a helper, how can I take credit for it...

Don't say these unlucky words, go and look after your master, it's a dangerous night and you have to keep an eye on him."

Songzhi's eye drops were very successful.

Yinzhen took Songzhi's words to heart.

He had witnessed all the fire-fighting operations that Sui Yuxuan had carried out previously.

But what about in front of Yikun Palace?

Before Songzhi risked her life to shout out the crime of disturbing the emperor and being beheaded for misbehaving in front of the emperor, there were only the palace maids of Chuxiu Palace!

Should he be thankful that he had sent guards to guard Chuxiu Palace?

Otherwise, his Shilan might have been burned to death before he arrived!

Aren’t the lives in Yikun Palace human lives?

From the small to the big, one can imagine the daily difficulties in Yikun Palace.

Before he could say anything, these servants made the decision for him.

At this time, Longsha seemed to be unable to see the emperor's pent-up anger, and still walked steadily in front of him, bowed and reported,

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards will take over here. I will return to Chuxiu Palace to take up my duties."

"Let's go back. Is Concubine Qi frightened?"

"In reply to the emperor, the wind is blowing eastward, and there is not much smoke in Chuxiu Palace. The queen is not frightened. She is just worried about her physical condition, so she has summoned the imperial physician. Guang Pu is taking care of her and she is following the doctor's orders."

"well."

Chuxiu Palace is worry-free. She is worthy of being a child raised by a royal family girl. No matter how noisy she is, she can really handle things when something happens.

She remained calm in times of crisis, was bold and careful, and even the palace maids she trained around her had the demeanor of royal wives.

After today's bad incident is over, he will definitely reward his good girl well.

……

The fire in Yikun Palace was burning more fiercely than that in Suiyuxuan.

Zhen Huan's heart was as cold as falling into an icy cave.

"Why, is this happening! "

When Xiao Yunzi didn't come out to report it immediately, she had a bad premonition. Sure enough, within a few breaths, the news of "a fire in the Yikun Palace" confirmed her guess.

——She was tricked

Moreover, it was Nian Shilan's chain of schemes.

Burning Yuxuan to pieces was fake, burning oneself as a self-torture trick was real!

It was a pity that she didn't even realize Nian Shilan's desperate intention.

Fortunately, there was an explanation for the oil spill. It was simply that the fire was too big and it might have been knocked over during the hasty escape.

I just don’t know if Xiao Yunzi has caught Suxi.

As long as they catch the palace maids from Yikun Palace in Suiyuxuan, Nian Shilan will have no way to deny it and her self-torture plan will fail.

She can't lose her composure now, as she might have to fight a tough battle later.

Yinzhen remained silent, twisting the beads in his hand habitually.

Queen Yixiu also hurried over at this time.

"As the queen, I am late for such an important event. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Yinzhen waved his hand and did not really pursue the matter with the queen.

The East Six Palaces were already far away from the West Six Palaces, not to mention that seeing the Queen sweating profusely, Yinzhen guessed that she might have gone to Suiyuxuan first and then came to Yiku Palace.

It was a cold winter night and there was thick smoke outside, making it a poor place to talk and do business.

"Go to Yongshou Palace."

After Yinzhen finished speaking, he set off.

There must be some doubt about this tonight.

I'm afraid these people in the palace are really crazy.

Arson and injury?

Burn down two palaces at once!

Two whole palaces!

Along with the buildings, furniture, and calligraphy and painting ornaments inside, Yinzhen felt that all the silver in his national treasury was burned along with the fire.

At Su Peisheng's suggestion, the leader of the imperial guards who was about to report stopped talking and ordered his men to follow the ladies in the direction of Yongshou Palace.
