The ice cellar is next to jingling palace, only separated by a wall. The shouting over there is very clear. But for a moment, the people in front of the ice cellar watched the flames dart across the wall, burning and baking the dead trees, which made people tremble.
"What are you doing? Don't go to put out the fire When the crowd was stunned, Zhu Changyang yelled angrily, then turned to Princess Xue and said in a hurry, "merciless water and fire, please go to the safe place first!"
In the face of life and death, nothing is more important than to live. Hearing more and more shouts, Princess Xue turned pale. She couldn't care about the ice cellar or the green clothes. She hurried away under the protection of the palace maids. Zhu Changyang looked back at the ice cellar door, frowned slightly, and murmured in bewilderment, "how can water escape in this season?" then he joined the fire fighting team with other people.
The place where the fire broke out was the Chaifang. The eunuch who came to collect the charcoal this morning didn't find anything unusual. He didn't know how the Chaifang was burned. Fortunately, there were no other buildings around the Chaifang, and there were no other losses except for the Chaifang itself and a hundred year old poplar tree.
There are many children living in Jingling palace. With all hands and feet, the fire that lights up the night sky is quickly put out. After a toss, when it was close to the time of the year, Zhu Changyang told his children to pay attention to the fire and send people to have a rest. He took two school administrators and turned around and went straight to the ice cellar.
Zhu Changyang is a very cautious person. Before he left, he specially left a steward to guard the ice cellar. He remembered clearly, but how could there be two figures standing at the door of the ice cellar? Full of suspicion, Zhu Changyang quickly walks to the ice cellar, and then discovers that another figure is Tan Xiping, who asked for leave earlier.
"How did steward Tan come back?" Zhu Changyang looked at Tan Xiping and asked quietly.
Tan Xiping pointed to the direction where the fire had just started: "as soon as my family's affairs were finished, I heard that there was water in the palace. Thinking that brother Zhang is still working here for me, if the palace transfers people, he may not be in a hurry, so I come back in a hurry. "
"Tan Zi never does any work. Everyone knows that." Zhang Guanshi said, "isn't that right? When Tan Zi came back, he saw that I was the only one guarding the ice cellar. He was very sorry and said that he would guard everything with me, for fear that I would not be able to deal with anything alone. I told him not to be so economical, but he just didn't listen. "
Tan Xiping's reputation has always been very good. He is practical and diligent. He is also the kind of character who will take the initiative to go forward when something happens. Zhu Changyang was dubious: "you've been here, haven't you left halfway? Has this ice cellar door ever been opened? "
"We have four eyes in total, but we have never left the ice cellar door. Although Zhu Sicheng is relieved, there is nothing that can come out of the ice cellar except the wind." Zhang steward is full of confidence, patting his chest to make sure.
Although Zhang Guanshi doesn't stick to details, he is a person who can't and dare not lie. Zhu Changyang showed his confidence and pointed to the ice cellar door with his chin: "open it, I'll go in and have a look."
Ice cellar door opened a gap, cold and wet came. Zhu Changyang frowned and went down. When there were two or three steps left, he saw Bu Qingyi lying on the ground with his hands resting behind his head.
"Oh, is Zhu Sicheng here? Please take a seat. You're welcome When Bu Qingyi heard the sound of footsteps, he turned over and sat up. He patted the ground with a bright face. "It's cool and fast in the ice cellar. Zhu Sicheng is very angry. It's good for his physical and mental health to sit in such a place."
After Zhu Changyang, Zhang Guanshi couldn't help rolling his eyes.
It's said that Princess zhongqingxiang has a sharp mouth. She scolds people a hundred times without paying attention to the style and without a dirty word. She can laugh and make people angry. Today, he has seen it.
"Isn't that girl's brain frozen? Before a face is gloomy and indifferent, how to suddenly feel better now? " Zhang Guanshi whispered to tan Xiping.
Tan Xiping with a bitter smile, secretly pinched the sweat, still palpitating.
He knows Bu Qingyi's plan to escape from the palace secretly. Whether he deliberately asks for leave to get away from the relationship or takes money to invite the other three stewards to have a drink is all part of Bu Qingyi's plan. Originally, bu Qingyi let him leave the palace to avoid involvement, but he was not at ease. After asking for leave, he wandered around and hid in the dark to observe the situation.
Fortunately, he didn't leave. When he saw from a distance that Bu Qingyi was often behind the rockery, while Princess Xue and Zhu Changyang were walking towards the ice cellar, he immediately realized that Bu Qingyi was in trouble, so he slipped to the firewood room of Jingling palace and set the fire.
He could not imagine what would have happened if he had left the palace and Zhu Changyang and Xue Guifei had found Bu Qingyi not in the ice cellar.
On the other hand, bu Qingyi was very relaxed. She was sitting on the ground, lazily leaning against the wall, with a pair of smart peach blossom eyes and no fear. She looked straight at Zhu Changyang: "why didn't Zhu Sicheng speak? Did the soup burn your tongue? Or is the ice cellar too cold to freeze out the tongue with one mouth? "
Zhu Changyang was silent for a long time before he gave out a cold hum: "I advise Princess Qingxiang not to show off her eloquence. There is no distinction between high and low in the Academy. They are such humble people as the lower officials. With the status of secretary Cheng, they can also decide what kind of punishment they want to impose on the princess. The princess has a noble status, and she is a person with a high reputation from the market to the court. I don't think she wants to make a fool of herself in such a place as the academy? ""As Zhu Sicheng said, if there was no distinction between the high and the low in the school, why did he set the order of three, six and nine when he divided classes and lived?" Bu Qingyi sneered and said, "I'm a wild bird. No matter how high I stand, I'm not a Phoenix. Zhu Sicheng doesn't have to face me. I just hope to finish my practice in the school in peace, and I don't want to make trouble. But of course, if someone deliberately troubles me, I can only accompany him to the end. Who hasn't been a little grumpy? "
The four words of self-discipline on Bu Qingyi, inexplicably, have a kind of discordant feeling.
But in any case, bu Qingyi has put his attitude on the surface - if people don't offend me, I won't offend; if people offend me, I don't let him be an adult.
Zhu Changyang heard the implication of Bu Qingyi's words clearly. He snorted, and didn't seem to have any intention to intensify the contradiction: "anyway, the school is under my jurisdiction. It's the best for the princess to keep herself in order. Don't meddle in the affairs that shouldn't be meddled in. How about you and me, well water and river water? "
"What do you want me to do? If you don't trouble me, why can't I get along with you? Are you having fun with your friends? Or is it not pleasant to eat and drink in bed? No one paid me to work against you. " Bu Qingyi turned his mouth as if he had heard some ridiculous joke.
Zhu Changyang, who has always been eloquent, took a deep breath and spewed out slowly. He gave up the idea of continuing to talk with Bu Qingyi, turned around and went to the door with his negative hand.
"I'll take it as if nothing happened. From tomorrow on, I hope the princess can really be a student, otherwise I'm afraid I can't protect the princess. "
When Bu Qingyi saw Zhu Changyang's back disappear on the steps, he raised his lips and laughed, feeling bored.
Can't hold on? Is this threatening her? When was she protected by him? Her eight generations of ancestors have been regarded as Zhu Changyang's good deeds.
As for whether she will pit Zhu Changyang It depends on the mood.
The door of the ice cellar was closed again, and darkness poured in like a tide. Without any light source, there were no fingers in the ice cellar, and there was no sound outside.
This kind of environment often makes people feel lonely, but it is inexplicably suitable for bu Qingyi. She urgently needs an environment that can be alone and undisturbed, and the endless darkness to help her concentrate and concentrate on an important issue.
Next time we meet again, what expression should we use and what identity should we use to face Mo GUI?
In the same night, Mo GUI's heart is much heavier than Bu Qingyi's.
The man who went to collect the corpse has come back with six incomplete bones and the soft sword that he never leaves. The soft sword is made of special materials. It's not afraid of strong soldiers, but it can't stand high temperature. The fire caused by the explosion of gunpowder completely scrapped the gift from the princess of Dongyang, and it was curled so that it can't stretch any more.
This is the only legacy left to him by the princess of Dongyang.
The loss of six powerful subordinates and the loss of important people's thoughts is undoubtedly a painful blow to Mo GUI. Fortunately, he is not the kind of person who will fall down in the face of setbacks. After a short period of gloomy loss, he quickly picked up his spirits and began to extract useful information from this failed assassination.
"If you want to feign death, you'd better not appear in front of people during this period of time and squat in the inn as your body." Qin Chuan looked at the six corpses with no expression on his face, and seemed to be used to the fleeting farewell of life and death.
She had never seen such a situation before. Whether she saw the wound festering or the bone stabbing, she was not afraid of it. However, she couldn't bear those broken limbs and charred bodies. She vomited several times in a row, and almost vomited her gall.
As soon as she felt better, she couldn't wait to catch Mo GUI and asked with a pale face, "where's our lady? How is she? Did you get hurt? Why didn't I come back with you? "
"She's OK. I'll take her back to the palace. Don't worry."
Qin Chuan glanced at them, with a slightly surprised color in his eyes: "green clothes are looking for you?"
The ink returns to breath a stagnant, hesitated a little to just light order bottom.
"I see. No wonder you didn't go on the mission, but went back to the inn." Qin Chuan's face returned to normal, and his tone was as indifferent as ever. "It seems that we have to re select the candidates to Qingzhou. It's really not good. Let Cui Fang work harder. Anyway, you can't go again."
Since the estrangement has been eliminated, and there is no obstacle that can prevent them from being together, Mo GUI is still the Mo GUI who was born to protect Bu Qingyi. His most important task is not to go to Qingzhou to preside over the overall situation and gather the scattered old headquarters, but to stay by her side and never give up until the end of his life.
Qin Chuan's face was cold, while Mo GUI was slightly embarrassed. This scene made Qian Hua feel a little impatient, and he could not help blaming Qin Chuan: "how can't you see my young lady and Mr. Mo together, great Xia Qin? Are they not a good match? Having experienced so many ups and downs together, who is more profound than the two of them? What makes you dissatisfied? "Mo GUI took a breath and looked at Qian Hua with a kind of gratitude and helplessness.
These words are his voice, but he never said, now finally someone can fight for him.
Qin Chuan's eyes fell on the charred bones, as if in a trance.
"I'm not dissatisfied, it's just In terms of feelings, have any of you ever considered the contribution of the cabinet leader? His deep affection is at the cost of his life. "
