After coming out from Yinreng, Yinti went back to his residence, changed his clothes, and went to greet Kangxi again. All the princes happened to be there except for Yinreng and Yinxiang. Of course, because of what happened in the morning, Kangxi put on a bad face. Everyone was careful not to offend him again.

Kangxi glanced at the crowd, and asked angrily, "Where is Yinfeng?"

No one answered, who knows where the prince went to have a good time again, Yinti saw Kangxi's expression was not hesitating, hesitated for a while, and then said bravely, "I went to ask the prince how he is in the afternoon. , he seems to be reading a book in the house."

"Are you going to greet him?"

"Yes, I heard that he was feeling unwell in the afternoon, so I went there." Yinti replied calmly.

"Is he unwell?"

"It's not a big problem. It is said that it can be cured after half a day's rest. Perhaps it is because of this that I didn't come to greet you."

Kangxi glanced at him strangely when he heard this, but didn't ask any more questions.

Two quarters of an hour later, when Kangxi was beating around the bush again, some guards came in to report that a fire had suddenly broken out in the side courtyard to the west, and they were already doing their best to fight the fire, please don't go out casually for the time being walk around.

Kangxi frowned when he heard this: "Fire? Why did it suddenly catch fire?"

"The servants should die. I don't know the reason yet, but the servants are already doing their best to save them. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Is there anyone in there?"

The guard quickly explained: "It's a side courtyard, no one lives there, and the door is still chained, so there should be no one there."

Since this is not a big deal, Kangxi didn't ask any more questions, but told him to put out the fire as soon as possible, deal with the aftermath and make people retreat.

As soon as the guards left, Sun Li'an came back and asked to see the emperor.

Sun Li'an was the eunuch that Kangxi arranged beside Yinreng. Kangxi would send him to ask questions from time to time. Although it was the first time he rushed to see him in such a hurry, it was not too unusual to go there. Kangxi nodded and asked someone to take him with him. came in.

After entering the door, Sun Li'an immediately knelt down on the ground and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the crown prince has been out for almost half an hour. It was the people around the Thirteenth Lord who invited him to go. The servant just went there when he saw that he hadn't come back. The Thirteenth Master asked, but the Thirteenth Master's people said that the Thirteenth Master was passed on by the Crown Prince and never came back. The slave... the slave doesn't know what's going on. Both the Crown Prince and the Thirteenth Master disappeared. Then I heard that there was a fire in a side courtyard, and the servant was worried..."

Kangxi's eyes widened when he heard this: "What do you mean?! What do you mean that the prince and the thirteenth master are gone?! You mean they can't do it in the fire scene?!"

"The emperor forgives the sin! The emperor forgives the sin!" Sun Li'an pleaded guilty tremblingly: "The prince did not take the servant with him when he went out. The servant is really worried. It has been so long..."

Sun Li'an is the person Kangxi placed next to Yinreng. Although he has shown full loyalty to Yinreng in his repeated actions, Yinreng is still guarded against him, so this time he is not sure what Yinxiang will do. I didn't take a piece of it with me.

Yinti on the side frowned slightly when he heard this, feeling a bit of a bad premonition in his heart, subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Yinti who was standing opposite, and saw that his eyes were slightly lowered, but the corners of his lips were unnoticeably soft. Hooked up, a chilling, almost hideous smile.

For a moment, a coldness spread in his heart, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't even say hello to Kangxi, and rushed out the door regardless.

The elder brothers were a little bit astonished because of his actions, and Kangxi was also taken aback for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he called people in and ordered the whole palace to search for Yinfeng and Yinxiang, and then motioned for people to lead the way to the place where the fire started. He also got up and hurried over, and naturally a group of people followed along.

Yinti rushed out of Kangxi's bedroom, and when he looked up, he saw flames rising into the sky and black smoke filling the west corner, so he grabbed a passing servant who was also rushing to put out the fire and asked which courtyard was on fire, so he didn't care After thinking about it, he ran away.

The small courtyard was already crowded with people who came to put out the fire. The fire started in the main house and the two side rooms next to it. People were pouring buckets of water into it. A head guard asked sharply: "How long has this fire been going on?! Is there anyone in there?!"

The person caught by him was startled by his red eyes and glaring, and tremblingly said: "Yes... It's been almost a quarter of an hour, and the door is chained, there should be... no one..."

"Are you sure there is no one?! Have you gone in to see it?!"

"It should be nobody's...the fire is too big...in...can't get in..."

no one should be...

But whenever Yinti thinks of Yinzhen's unsurprisingly calm and composed appearance and that weird smile just now, his whole body turns cold, so he doesn't care about it right away, and grabs the bucket in the hands of one of the eunuchs. He poured water on his body, and then when the people around him were stunned, he covered his mouth and nose with a veil, and rushed towards the door of the house that had been boiled and almost engulfed by the flames.

What Kangxi saw when they arrived was the scene that shocked them. Yinti rushed into the sea of ​​flames so quickly, and when the people around him recovered and wanted to pull others, they were gone.

There were a few guards who wanted to follow, but were scared away by the raging fire. After all, these people were all nobles of the Eight Banners, and few of them could be desperate, even if Kangxi's message came from behind them. The roar urged them to save people quickly, but it was just that more people rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward to help splash water.

Yinti rushed into the door and rolled on the ground a few times before putting out the fire that burned his upper body. An unpleasant smell came to his nostrils, and the black smoke choked him so much that he could barely open his eyes.

The moment he rushed into the sea of ​​flames, the flames almost swallowed him up. The scorching pain was something he had never experienced before, so he broke in so recklessly.

There was thick smoke all over the room and fire everywhere, Yinti managed to open his eyes in the darkness, and at a glance he saw Yinfeng who had fallen on the ground beside the table and had lost consciousness.

Fortunately, the fire hadn't reached him yet.

This thought only had time to flash through his mind, Enduring the pain in his body, Yinti quickly got up and walked forward in three or two steps, helped Yinrong up, stretched his trembling fingers under his nose, he was still breathing, but he just fell into a coma That's all, Yinti patted his face anxiously: "Prince, wake up..."

Yinreng really opened his eyes slowly, seeing him, and seeing his undisguised worry and anxiety, he was taken aback for a moment, then turned the corners of his mouth and smiled, his face covered with black ashes. Can't hide the smile that he showed to himself for the first time without any sarcasm or sneer, Yinti couldn't tell what it was like in his heart at that moment, he only felt that compared to the physical pain, the pain in his chest One place hurts more.

Yinreng was choked by the thick smoke and coughed non-stop, before falling on his shoulder again, he lost consciousness again.

"Prince?!"

Yinti shook his shoulder vigorously, but there was no response, so he didn't care about anything else, quickly took off his wet coat, quickly put it on Yinfeng and covered his head, carried him on his back, and was about to leave, leaving the door Another faint voice sounded not far away.

"Brother...help me...help me..."

Yinti, who was so anxious when he came in just now, noticed that besides Yinreng, there were two unconscious eunuchs in the sea of ​​fire, and Yinxiang, who had slowly regained some consciousness but was paralyzed and unable to move.

Yinxiang raised his head with difficulty, and stretched out his trembling hand towards Yinti, with a desperate pleading in his red eyes: "Brother...help me..."

Yinti gritted his teeth, it's not that he didn't want to save him, but in this situation, he can only carry one back, and the beam hanging above the house door is crumbling, and it's about to burn down. If he doesn't go out, they all have to Died in a sea of ​​flames.

He can only save one, or die together, such a choice is almost not a choice for him now.

After hesitating for a moment, Yinti finally closed his eyes and stopped looking at him, and rushed out again with Yinfeng on his back, braving the fire.

There was a loud noise accompanied by exclamations, and the two who almost became fireballs rushed out and fell outside the gatehouse. Several large buckets of water were poured on them in an instant. Almost everyone was so shocked that they were at a loss for what to do. Everyone who thought that there was no one in the room did not expect that the crown prince would be there, and someone knelt on the ground trembling.

When Kangxi saw the embarrassment of the two of them falling together, his eyes were red and he shouted at the people: "Hurry up and pass on to the imperial physician!"

Yinti spat out the last few words with difficulty, "Yinxiang...inside..." and passed out completely.

Kangxi staggered a step in shock, and roared again: "Get out and save people!"

After a loud bang, the beam on the door of the house could no longer support it and collapsed, and now they couldn't get in even if they wanted to.

In addition to the guards and eunuchs who were still splashing water, Kangxi, the princes, including the clan and officials who came to hear the news, just watched the house collapse in front of them, and Yinxiang screamed heartbreakingly. The sound came from inside the room, and it was particularly frightening in this chilling night. Every sound made the people listening outside shudder and even tremble.

Until the voice gradually died down and there was no more breath, Kangxi had already collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down his face, everyone knelt down, except for the hurried footsteps of the people who were still fighting the fire, no one dared to make any more sound.
