princess and her guard

Princess Pingchang was thinking a thousand times, when she suddenly heard Lan'er exclaiming in surprise: "Miss Gu, you can't go in without Princess Chang's order! Miss Gu!"

Then I heard the loud sound of the door being pushed open, and then I was shrouded in a shadow.

"Do you even know what you're doing!"

The corner of her mouth curled, and Princess Pingchang said angrily, "Of course I know what I'm doing."

"Then you..." The voice stopped abruptly, because she saw her princess looking at her with unusually firm and irrefutable eyes. At this moment, she seemed to see the emperor who was so high above.

"This princess has always kept her word!" She looked at her calmly, and slowly uttered a sentence.

Gu Yan squatted down halfway, looked directly into Princess Pingchang's eyes, and said, "But, do you know how many innocent lives you will take by doing this?"

"Then do you blame me?" Princess Pingchang asked calmly, parting her thin lips.

"If I am alone, I will die without complaint." This sentence is resounding.

Princess Pingchang stepped forward, hugged her with both hands, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, I don't want you to be sad, and I don't want you to die, so you and their princesses will stay."

After finishing speaking, Princess Pingchang pushed her away, and shouted outside: "Miss Gu trespassed on the inner court, she was fined to face the wall at home for half a month, and she was not allowed to enter the palace, and she will not be dragged down."

Gu Yan shook off the guard who wanted to drag her away, and lip-synched to Princess Pingchang who was standing aside, "I believe you."

After finishing speaking, he strode away from Mingxi Palace.

"Princess, Miss Gu has gone far away." Xiao He could not help reminding her with some worry as she watched her eldest princess staring blankly at the palace gate.After all, Princess Pingchang boasted that she wanted to save everyone!

"Well, don't worry."

Concentrating her expression, Princess Pingchang knelt down in front of the bronze mirror again, turned her head to Lan'er and said: "Lan'er, you go to the Zichen Palace to speak to Father Emperor on behalf of the princess, this matter will be postponed for the time being, and the princess will meet herself in three days. Give Father an explanation."

"No." After Lan'er saluted respectfully, she took the order and left.

Three days later, the atmosphere in the Mingxi Palace, which was so beautiful with carved beams and painted buildings, was tense.

"Eldest Princess, Your Majesty has already sent someone to ask you when you will go over to give her an explanation. I am afraid that someone will come over and send an order to invite you to go over soon." Lan'er said eagerly.

"Okay, my princess knows it. Look at your panicked look. Don't say that you are my maidservant when you go out. This princess thinks you are ashamed." After speaking, he poked the maid's forehead with his hand.

"Isn't this servant also worried about you, and still talking about him like that?" Lan'er muttered aggrievedly, but Princess Pingchang ignored her again.

"Xiao He, dismiss everyone in the palace, including Lan'er. Don't ask why, just do what the princess ordered.

For the next period of time, no one should disturb this princess. If the person who announces the decree comes, please come and inform this princess. You two can hear me clearly. "Although the voice was clear and clear, it made people unable to resist the idea of ​​resistance.

Although the two wanted to say something more, they had to give up in the end.

Hearing the sound of the palace door being closed, Princess Pingchang got up and poured the pine oil collected in the past three days on the wooden pillars and curtains in the palace.

Then drag out a pile of licorice from under the wooden couch, sprinkle it with pine oil, and spread it evenly on the four corners of the hall.

After doing all this, Princess Pingchang stood in the center of the hall, calmly waiting for her father's will.

When one of the incense candles was burned out, there was a knock on the door, and Lan'er shouted eagerly: "Eldest Princess, Eldest Princess, the messenger is here."

"Okay, the princess knows, you let her wait a hundred meters outside the palace, and let her take a good look at the princess' explanation for the father. And tell Xiaohe to report to the father as the princess said, otherwise everything will be in jeopardy." All previous efforts will be wasted." There was a hint of determination in Princess Pingchang's voice.

Princess Pingchang gently picked up the golden candlestick on the black lacquered nanmu table, and walked around the palace. Tongues of fire sprang up in an instant and entangled the whole palace like vines. The bright red flames shot into the sky. up, dazzling.

The billowing thick smoke enveloped the entire palace, depressing everyone's hearts.

"Ah!" A scream awakened everyone's thoughts.Lan'er shouted eagerly: "Hurry up, put out the fire, boss, the princess is still inside!"

"Oh my god, how could this happen!" The eunuch who came to announce the decree panicked and shouted eagerly: "Go quickly, go and call the imperial guards to save people!"

The eunuch turned around and ran towards Weiyang Palace, she had to report the matter to His Majesty quickly, if something happened to Princess Ping, she couldn't afford to walk around, hey, what's the matter.

There was chaos in front of Mingxi Palace, screams and cries were heard endlessly.

There was a sudden sound of horseshoes, and everyone looked up, only to see Gu Yan coming on horseback, kicking up dust all the way.

As if seeing a savior, Lan'er dropped the bucket in her hand and ran towards Gu Yan.

Gu Yan got off his horse, looked at Lan'er in front of him and asked, "What's going on, where is the eldest princess?"

When she was in the room, she saw a place in the palace full of black smoke. After thinking about the general direction, she knew that something had happened to her princess, so she rode over without caring that she was being punished.

Lan'er knelt down and said with tears: "I don't know why the hall caught fire, and the eldest princess is still in the hall. Miss Gu, I beg you to save the princess quickly. The fire is so big, the princess is about to die!"

Gu Yan stared at the sultry palace with wide eyes and growled, "No, it's impossible."

Then, she frantically ran towards the fiery palace, with only one thought in her mind: She must not die!

He kicked open the scorched door, and rushed into the hall engulfed in flames recklessly.

Fortunately, Princess Pingchang was lying down in the center of the hall, so she could be seen at a glance.

Gu Yan ran over in three steps at a time, but saw the loose beam suddenly fall down.

Before the brain had time to think, the body had already rushed out, and Gu Yan tried his best to push Princess Pingchang out of the impact range of the beam.

Although she herself slid to the side with the help of inertia, she was still inevitably scratched by the crossbeam, causing a string of blisters!

Before she could take care of the injury on her shoulder, she rushed to Princess Pingchang's side, carried her on her back and rushed out of the flames.

Inside the Jiaofang Hall, which wafted a faint warm fragrance, Princess Pingchang lay flat on the soft couch with her eyes closed, as quiet as a porcelain doll.

Empress Ping stood by the couch, weeping silently, she never imagined that her daughter would actually set fire to Mingxi Hall.

At that time, when the emperor and her heard the news from the eunuch who announced the decree, they were shocked and hurried to the outside of Mingxi Hall.

Then she saw Gu Yan in ragged clothes rushing out of the sea of ​​flames with her unconscious daughter on her back. Although she was heartbroken at that moment, she was extremely grateful.

Later, when the emperor was furious and ordered a strict investigation into the matter, his daughter's personal maid, Xiao He, ran out, knelt down in front of his Majesty and cried, "Please calm down, Your Majesty, this matter was not done by others, but by the elders." The princess set fire to it herself.

The eldest princess said that she caused a catastrophe because she sympathized with the golden eagle and could not spread its wings above the nine heavens.

One person should have been punished, but she was involved in the punishment together with him. I really felt uneasy, so I had to die as an apology.

Heaven has the virtue of good life, the eldest princess implores Your Majesty not to blame others after her death, and to commit another murder, so that she will not sleep peacefully in the ground.The eldest princess asked her slave to thank His Majesty on her behalf. "

Although His Majesty was depressed, he still felt sorry for his daughter after all, and said a few words, "That's all, that's all." Then he stopped mentioning this matter.

Bring Princess Pingchang back to Jiaofang Palace, and tell the imperial physician to cure Princess Pingchang, and leave a message to come back later before turning around and leaving Jiaofang Palace to deal with the government affairs.

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help sighing leisurely. The imperial physician clearly said that Princess Pingchang was fine, but why did her daughter wake up for so long.

The queen touched her daughter's cheek lovingly and said: "Yan'er, your father has already pardoned most people, and the only few who were punished slightly more severely were only given a few strokes of the staff. Wake up quickly, don't let your father The queen mother continues to worry, orphan Yan'er."

For a short while after the queen left, no one noticed that the corners of the girl's mouth curled up slightly while sleeping on the soft couch.

From spring to summer solstice, the chirping of cicadas on the lush branches and the singing of crickets in the green grass seem to add a touch of life to this oppressive and dull palace.After the midsummer rain, the dampness in the air has not dissipated.

Princess Pingchang finally breathed the fresh air outside after two months of grounding.

Excited, she naturally took her sister Yan to go boating on the lake.It's a pity that the lotus, which was carefully cared for by the court gardener, may have to be murdered again.

"Sister Yan, Sister Yan, please row over there, it seems that there is a Bettilian there, it's so beautiful." As he spoke, he stretched out his arms and touched them lightly.

Gu Yan was taken aback, and quickly stretched out his arms to pull Princess Pingchang into his arms, and said with lingering fear: "Grandma, you can't calm down, if you really fall into the water, you don't want to come out to play again .”

"But..." Princess Pingchang poked her finger on her chest with some grievances.

"But what?" Gu Yan pretended to give her a fierce look.

"It's nothing, what elder sister Yan said is right." Princess Pingchang quickly said obsequiously.

Seeing such a princess, Gu Yan suddenly felt a little helpless. She even thought that if her princess had never been born in the royal family, it would be great if she wasn't the current Princess Pingchang.

Sensing that her own sister Yan's expression was not quite right, Princess Pingchang tentatively asked: "Sister Yan, you are not really angry with me, are you? I was wrong, okay?"

"Wrong?" It was rare to see her princess subdued, and fortunately she vented her dissatisfaction all at once.

"Knowing that you are wrong, you still dare to run and let the golden eagle go?"

"Because I promised my elder sister that the golden eagle will definitely spread its wings again."

"What about setting fire to the temple?"

"Because I promised my sister that you and their princesses will stay."

At this moment, Gu Yan's heart seemed to be grabbed by something, making her a little out of breath.But what followed was raging anger, and he asked almost roaringly: "Then do you know that you may die if you do this, how can you make fun of your own life!"

"Giggle" Princess Pingchang smiled happily. It seems that sister Yan is still worried about herself, but seeing her sister Yan's face getting darker and darker, she restrained her smile and said seriously: "It is possible, But the possibility is very small, because the princess has long buried the polar cold jade in the center of the hall, and the fire is generally not overwhelmed. People outside will definitely not watch the princess being burned alive, otherwise they will have to die. To blame, the princess must be rescued as quickly as possible, so there is no need to worry at all.

As for the coma, it was because the princess was worried about being invaded by the poisonous gas, so she took the "fake death drug" for two hours in advance.But that beam fell beyond my princess' expectations. I didn't mean it, sister Yan. "

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zijiayan's sister's shoulder with lingering fear.At the beginning, when I heard that Sister Yan was injured in order to save herself, she packed all the healing medicines in the Tai Hospital and sent them to Sister Yan in a hurry. Xiao He laughed at her for a long time for this.

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows, she probably underestimated her own princess, she deserved her worry for nothing.

After thinking about it, the purchase of pastries and foot restraints were not intentional on her part, right?Now it seems very likely!
