Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

114 Fire Burns Jade Pavilion

Then, she turned to Mei Zhuang and smiled softly, "Sister, do you want to witness with your own eyes how Nian Shilan stepped into the trap she dug step by step?"

Zhen Huan raised a subtle smile and replied softly, "Follow me."

The two of them immediately stood up and walked towards the dressing table.

At this time, the fire outside the window shot up into the sky, illuminating the whole room. Zhen Huan said in a deep voice: "Rong'er's West Palace Warm Room is closely connected to my place. Once the fire spreads here, I will not be able to escape the disaster."

Then, she took the osmanthus oil placed next to her and slowly poured it on the curtain.

Mei Zhuang was shocked when she saw this and blurted out, "This is osmanthus oil for combing hair, why did you pour it out?"

Zhen Huan spoke softly and slowly, "Sister, don't make a sound."

After saying this, she lightly picked up the candle beside her.

Mei Zhuang saw this scene, her face full of worry, and asked anxiously: "What do you want to do? Don't hide anything from me."

Zhen Huan looked solemn and replied, "Nian Shilan has sent her minions to kill me. Although I have no intention of harming anyone, I cannot sit idly by and watch others harm me without reason."

"In that case...you are giving her a helping hand." Shen Mei said solemnly.

Zhen Huan smiled slightly and said, "This is just a matter of course. Since the children are not around, I can feel a little relieved."

Mei Zhuang nodded in agreement: "That's right, if you want to act, then you should go all out. I will never let her get away again."

After saying that, Shen Meizhuang took the candle from Zhen Huan's hand, lit the handkerchief in her hand, and the fire spread immediately.

The two looked at the blazing flames, smiled at each other, and understood each other tacitly.

-

Outside the palace walls, the palace maids and eunuchs shouted in panic: "There's a fire! There's a fire! Quick! There's a fire! There's a fire!!"

Just at this moment, Xiao Yunzi cleverly seized the opportunity of the chaos and grabbed Suxi who was about to escape.

When Yinzhen rushed over, Suiyuxuan was already in ruins, with most of the building engulfed in flames.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of burning, and the surroundings were filled with black roof beams and wet water stains. The scene was horrific.

Zhen Huan was soaked and trembling, her face was covered with black ashes, and she barely wrapped herself in a thin blanket to keep warm.

The same was true for Mei Zhuang, both of them looked extremely embarrassed.

Yinzhen suddenly rushed in, quickly wrapped Zhen Huan tightly in his large black cloak, hugged her tightly, and gently comforted her: "Don't be afraid, everything is over, it's okay."

Zhen Huan was trembling from the cold and shock, and was suddenly surrounded by this warm embrace. The fear and grievance in her heart instantly surged into her heart. She sobbed and cried out softly, "Your Majesty..."

Yinzhen stared at Zhen Huan anxiously and asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"

Zhen Huan shook her head, tears still streaming down her face. She pointed to Shen Meizhuang with a trembling hand and choked up, "Sister Mei, how is she...how is she doing?"

Seeing this, Zhen Huan's tears welled up again. She turned to look at Wen Shichu who was carefully bandaging the burn wound on Mei Zhuang's arm.

Yinzhen held Zhen Huan's hand tightly and asked with concern: "Lady Hui, how is your injury?"

However, Meizhuang seemed immersed in her own thoughts, and seemed oblivious to Yinzhen's concern, just staring blankly.

Zhen Huan cried and blamed herself, "It's all my fault. I frightened you so much. I invited you to play chess with good intentions, but I didn't expect something like this to happen."

Wen Shichu comforted her from the side: "Please be at ease, Concubine Xi. Concubine Hui is in good spirits, but the burns are indeed quite serious and she needs to be carefully cared for."

"How could this palace catch fire for no reason? Where is the eunuch in charge of the palace?" Yinzhen asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Yunzi was busy at the side, and when he heard it, he ran over and knelt on the ground, explaining in panic: "Your Majesty, please calm down. It was all my fault that I failed to take good care of the place. But please rest assured, the arsonist has been captured and is waiting for your decision."

"Could this be an arson committed on purpose?" Yinzhen's tone revealed unquestionable majesty.

Xiao Yunzi bowed his head and replied, "That's right, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he said in a deep voice, "Bring him up."

Xiao Yunzi took the order and left, only to hear him shout loudly, "Bring people!"

Shortly afterwards, Suxi was escorted by two guards and brought before Yinzhen.

"At the time of the incident, this eunuch was behaving suspiciously near Suiyuxuan. After a search, I and others found flint and kerosene on him. The evidence is conclusive and cannot be disputed." Xiao Yunzi reported in detail.

Yinzhen looked at Suxi who was being escorted, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart, so he asked, "Which palace eunuch are you from?"

Su Peisheng carefully identified him and reported to Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, this man is the personal attendant of Yikun Gong Niandan, named Suxi."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan turned to Yinzhen, her voice filled with a bit of grievance and relief: "I really don't know how I have offended this eunuch to make him hate me so much that he wants to kill me and destroy my palace. Fortunately, the servants were alert and discovered and stopped this disaster in time, otherwise I am afraid I will never be able to see the emperor again."

At this time, An Lingrong also returned with her son, and little Hongyang kept calling out, "Ama, Ama."

Yinzhen gently took the child and held him in his arms.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health." An Lingrong quickly saluted.

Then he hurried to Zhen Huan's side and asked with concern, "Sister, are you okay? This sudden change really frightened me."

Zhen Huan shook her head gently, "I'm fine."

Then she said to Yinzhen: "I beg Your Majesty to make a decision for me and Sister Mei. Fortunately, Hongzhou is safe and sound. Otherwise, I really don't know how to face the world."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen sighed helplessly, and he already knew the truth behind the matter.

He said in a deep voice: "I originally thought of our old relationship and did not want to force her into a desperate situation. I wanted to give her a chance to reform. Unexpectedly, she not only did not repent, but became even worse and her methods became more vicious."

"Forget it. Go and inform the Queen and Concubine Jing, and order them to interrogate Suxi overnight. If the evidence is conclusive, immediately banish Nian to the cold palace and allow her to commit suicide. There is no need to report this to me again."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Su Peisheng immediately responded and went to carry out the emperor's order.

Upon hearing Yinzhen's decision, smiles appeared in the eyes of Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang at the same time.

Yinzhen looked at the mess in front of him and said to Zhen Huan, "Sui Yu Xuan has become like this now. Huan Huan, you should live with Mei Er for the next two days. Rong Er should stay in Yanxi Palace. When Sui Yu Xuan is repaired, you can move back."

Zhen Huan felt a warm current in her heart when she heard this, and she replied gratefully, "Yes, I thank the emperor for his consideration."
