Yanran Palace covers an area of thousands of miles, with hundreds of rooms, masters, servants, maids, and guards, there are at least five hundred people in series.With the flames together, Yanran Palace seemed to have fallen into the blood of a beast, and everyone struggled to escape.

When Shu He arrived, the scene was chaotic, some people screamed, some wailed, and some cried.The people inside ran out desperately, and the guards outside squeezed in with buckets. Suddenly, people turned on their backs, trampled and hurt people, blocking the door and making it impossible to get in and out. After a delay, the fire grew bigger.

In ancient times, there was no technology at all to fight fires, and there seemed to be no other way except to deliver buckets of water manually.

Ying Qi was yelling at the palace gate, "Get up quickly if you fall! Don't block the door! Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"

The air was thin, and the heat was burning his skin. Shu He felt it was difficult to breathe before he got close, but with a frown, Shu He still walked towards Ying Qi.

Yu Xiang protected Shu He, pushed away the servants who were bumping into headless flies, and didn't understand their fear of walking through the gate of hell at all.

"Commander Ying!" There was a lot of noise around him, Shu He stood beside Ying Qi, shouting whenever he spoke, "Give the command to this Highness!"

When Ying Qi saw Shu He, he didn't even think about it, and immediately shouted, "Come here! Take the empress back to the Eastern Palace!"

Yu Xiang stopped the running guards and prevented them from approaching her master.

Shu He stared at Ying Qi with a stern face, "If you don't want people to die more, follow the command of this Highness!"

Ying Qi squinted his eyes, his sharp gaze pierced Shu He's face.Ying Qi couldn't see Shu He's intentions, but the face in front of him was extremely persistent, and there was even stubbornness in his eyes.Ying Qi suddenly wanted to see if the queen was really as useless as in the legend.

"Please give the order from the empress!" By chance, she agreed.

Shu He pursed his lips into a smile, his face softened a little, and then suddenly tensed up!

"The commander should obey the order!"

"The minister is here!"

"Assemble all the guards and divide into four teams. The first team will surround Yanran Palace and cut down all the surrounding trees to prevent the flames from coming out. The second team will place ladders on the outer wall and pass the buckets by relay.The third team rescued people, went to the pond and rolled in mud, wrapped their faces in wet cloths and rushed in!"

When the words fell, he should immediately understand, waved everyone together, and began to assign work.

"Heavenly thread!"

"exist!"

Shu He stared at the gate that was still in chaos, and said in a deep voice, "Go and remove the gate to this Highness, ladies first, and anyone who dares to run amok will be chopped off by this Highness!"

"Yes!"

"Yu Xiang!" Shu He continued to order, "Leave a space for the wounded to rest, and organize the maids and eunuchs who are fine to help, this Highness does not want to see a group of fools running around and disrupting the order!"

"Yes, son!"

Ying Qi had just arranged the task and work, and received an order from Shu He.

"Commander Ying, let this Highness take command here. You take people to the cleaning yard to rescue them, and then find the source of the fire. You don't need this Highness to teach you what to do later!"

"...No need." With a complicated look on his stiff and unremarkable face, he pointed out a group of people to rush to the clean clothes courtyard behind Yanran Palace.

Before leaving, Shu He reminded him, "You guys had better go to the pond and roll in the mud. The fire in the cleaning yard is more fierce, just in case."

"..."

After an orderly rescue operation, the fire was extinguished at dusk. Since the fire was brought under control in time, no other palaces were affected, and the overall casualties were not particularly serious.

As for Yanran Palace, everything that could be burned but could not be burned was destroyed. It is impossible to summarize the tragic situation without a face. The people who were locked up and had no time to escape were all turned into charcoal, and there were still thirty or forty people.A total of fifty-six bodies were sacrificed during the fire fighting.

This is still a large number for Shu He, but it is definitely the most unimaginable number in history for others. Xuan Fuzhi was shocked when it was reported.

"Fifty-six confirmed!"

"Your Majesty, that's fifty-six people!"

Eunuch Zhang trembled with excitement. It was absolutely unprecedented to reduce the sacrifice to such a low level in the fire!

Xuan Fuzhi couldn't believe it. In his memory, there were two fires in the palace, and the death toll in both times was around 2,000. It was because of the large sacrifices, so the preparation work would be particularly tight every autumn.With such a tragic precedent, the number fifty-six would be confusing.

"Go and announce the leader."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When it was time for a cup of tea, Ying Qi stepped in one step at a time, walked in dirty, and knelt down on one knee, "This small official sees the emperor!"

"……stand up."

Xuan Fuzhi frowned, walked around the desk and stood in front of Yingqi, and asked, "How is the fire?"

Responding to his hand, "Back to the emperor, the fire has been extinguished, and the next step is the post-processing work."

"How many people died?"

"According to statistics, there are fifty-six people in total."

"..."

Xuan Fuzhi remained silent, and there was no need to doubt the credibility of the words that came out of Ying Qi's mouth.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing wrong, this small official will go back to direct the work first." Ying Qi said, "This small official knows that the emperor has doubts, and when the post-work is properly arranged, this small official will explain to the emperor."

Xuan Fuzhi heaved a sigh of relief, waved his hands, "Go."

"This small official resigns!"

"..."

That night, Shu He collapsed on the bed exhausted and fell asleep. Yu Xiang carefully wiped his face, closed the doors and windows and guarded him every step of the way.

At the same time, in the Palace of Sparrows, Wen Wanqiu, who was injured and comatose, woke up.

"Where's the emperor?" Wen Wanqiu asked weakly.

"Madam, the emperor is still in the imperial study." Ji Er looked haggard, struggled for a while and then said: "Madam, Yanran Palace is on fire, and all the people in Ning Jieyu's room who were locked up were burned to death."

Hearing this, Wen Wanqiu was dumbfounded, "How could it catch fire? Didn't this Highness tell you that it is easy to catch fire in autumn, so when you monitor it, you must check it one by one. Water must be prepared for all flammable places. You didn't remember that.!"

Ji Er cried and knelt down, "Madam, the servants checked, but the fire started from the Clean Clothes Court, there is no way to implicate the servants of Yanran Palace!"

Wen Wanqiu tried her best to calm herself down. It was true that she was negligent in the area of the Jingyiyuan, but the matter has come to this point and there is no way to blame anyone. I just hope that the loss will not be too heavy.

"Is it a big loss!" Immediately, Wen Wanqiu stood up clutching the wound on his left shoulder, "No, this is the responsibility of this Highness, this Highness is going to see the emperor!"

Ji Er anxiously said: "Madam, please pay attention to your health! It's fine, except for Jingyiyuan and Yanran Palace, the fire did not go to other places, and the death toll is less than a hundred."

Wen Wanqiu's eyes widened in surprise, "Impossible?"

"Really!" Ji Er nodded heavily, "I heard that it is the queen's credit for reducing the loss and casualties to such a low level. According to the guards, the queen regulated the fire fighting plan and cleaned up the scene without any confusion. CommanderThe guards rescued people and put out fires, and that technique was very clever."

Hearing this, Wen Wanqiu's head turned black, "Ning Jieyu was burned to death?"

"Mother, not only Ning Jieyu, but also Qin Jieyu who was hit by the roof beam also died." Ji Er lowered his head unbearably, "Also, the empresses of all palaces are gathering in the imperial study at this moment, asking the emperor to give you twoJieyu will be fair to all the dead."

Wen Wanqiu fell down on the edge of the bed in a moment of dejection, "This is to force this Highness to step down!"

Ji Er couldn't help crying, "Niang Niang, it's okay, the emperor won't make things difficult for you."

"Even if the emperor doesn't embarrass this Highness, this Highness will inevitably be punished!" Wen Wanqiu smiled bitterly, "The order from Cha Yanran Palace was issued before this Highness. Although this Highness was injured and unconscious later, it is the meaning of this Highness after all.The government also used the phoenix seal of this Highness, and now the two Jieyu were burned to death alive, how could they let this Highness go."

Ji Er knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, it's not your fault. You have already arranged for the autumn disaster. It's because the servants are useless and didn't understand what you mean. It's also because those who want Your Majesty to step down are racking their brains to kill your Majesty. My Majesty,The servant is willing to die for you."

"Don't be silly, when did this harem serve this Highness? Since this Highness has the Phoenix Seal, when has it been better? All the palaces are eager to grab it, and the queen's position is still there. Even if the emperor loves this Highness again,It will only make the people who are jealous of this Highness more ruthless, and this time such a big event happened, they will definitely go all out to ask the emperor to punish the crime of improper management of this Highness."

Wen Wanqiu suddenly felt extremely tired this year, since when did she feel better after entering the palace?At the beginning, she wanted to give Xuan Fuzhi the best. Whether it was someone who liked her or someone who didn't like her, she would treat each other sincerely. Those who came from bad backgrounds were motivated.It's better, but what's the result?Everyone respects her openly, and secretly wishes for her to die!

A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Wen Wanqiu's pale face, "God made this Highness the second Bailiqianliu!"

Ji Er kowtowed in panic, "Your Majesty, don't think about it! Didn't you always teach your slaves to be lenient? Your Majesty, you have to believe in yourself!"

"believe in myself?"

Wen Wanqiu looked disappointedly at the Spirit Sparrow Palace that she managed alone, how long can she live here?Or how many plots of resentment can she live here to escape?

"For the sake of the emperor, this Highness doesn't care how many people die! Whoever wants to pull this Highness down, this Highness will let him die first!"

Ji Er held back his tears and hurried forward to comfort his master, "Madam, it's really not your fault, the emperor won't blame you, by the way, the emperor sent the eldest prince here, it's next door, do you want to go and see?"The eldest prince?"

Prince?Wen Wanqiu tried her best to restrain her grief, and said: "Okay, let's go and see Huang'er. We haven't seen Huang'er for so many days. Has Huang'er grown up to be naughty?"

Ji Er smiled very forcefully, "The eldest prince is very good."

"..."
