Chapter 126 The Building Tilts (4)

Mrs. Chu said sorry, but there was no apology in her expression.There was sarcasm and sarcasm in her eyes as she looked at Princess Anning and the son-in-law, and there was even a bit of subtle pleasure.

Lou Xiyue quietly observed Mrs. Chu, wondering in her heart: Mrs. Chu is so impatient to taunt Princess Aning, and judging by her expression, she has a grudge with Princess Aning.

This made her curious.Before that, what happened between Mrs. Chu and Princess Anning that made Mrs. Chu hate the dignified princess for a long time?
Just as Lou Xiyue was thinking secretly, her gaze to the distance paused for a moment, then she jumped over the high wall and bushes and stared straight at the mid-air not far away.

That is……

At this moment, an exclamation came from among the ladies who were about to leave the lotus pond: "Wait a minute, everyone! Look, what is that!"

The female guest stretched out her hand and pointed far away, and everyone followed the prestige.And that direction is exactly where Lou Xiyue raised her eyes and stared.

Lou Xiyue: "It's thick smoke." Her expression faded, and she said, "There's a fire over there."

Everyone was horrified when they heard what she said: "Flooded?! The princess mansion is flooded?!"

"It does look like thick smoke caused by the fire, it really is water!" Someone said.

Several attendants hurriedly shouted: "Then put out the fire quickly, put out the fire quickly! Come, come, put out the fire!"

The accompanying attendants hurriedly ran out to fight the fire, but Lou Xiyue stopped at this moment.She turned around and looked back, but she saw clusters of thick smoke rising from the front and back of the lotus pond.

The thick smoke slowly climbed from multiple directions, like a net, gradually surrounding the lotus pond.

These noble wives and ladies did not expect that they would be robbed by such an accident just after going out for a banquet.

"What, what should I do? Where are the guards in the house? Why can't they see the guards to save people?"

Now, Princess Anning and the son-in-law didn't care about arguing, and at the same time comforted everyone.

Princess An Ning: "Don't panic, this is the lotus pond, the place with the heaviest humidity in the entire Princess Mansion, even if the fire comes, it will take some time."

She immediately ordered her followers to bring the wooden barrels and copper basins in the backyard, and ordered them to draw water from the lotus pond to put out the fire.

On the other side, the son-in-law will immediately dress neatly and bring someone to ask for help.Before leaving, he said: "All distinguished guests are frightened. This place is safe for the time being, please don't panic and wait here for a while. I will go and find the guards, and I will escort you away later."

The son-in-law hastily stepped out of the courtyard gate, but he was nowhere to be seen in a blink of an eye.

Although everyone was still worried, they were relieved to have a son-in-law.But this tone has not had time to slow down, but saw the son-in-law go and come back!
"Quick, close the door quickly!" The son-in-law ran back in panic, out of breath.

Princess Anning stared at him dissatisfied: "Didn't you go to rescue the soldiers, why did you run back again, in a panic, there are still people chasing you!"

She was already angry at the fact that the son-in-law had an affair, but seeing that he didn't find any guards, she couldn't contain her anger immediately: "I can't even call a guard, trash!"

The son-in-law was too anxious to argue with her: "Get out of the way, the mob is coming!"

"mob?"

The guests present immediately looked behind the son-in-law.In the field of vision, I saw a few middle-aged men in linen clothes striding forward holding long knives and torches!

They looked fierce and fierce, like bandits who burned, killed and looted. Wherever they went, the ground was full of flames.They took torches and set fire everywhere, never letting go of any house, leaving a raging fire!
The guests present finally couldn't help screaming.

And amidst the screams, the son-in-law and several attendants rushed to shut the gate of the courtyard firmly before the mob rushed into the lotus garden.

"You guys come over to help, and the door is about to be blocked!"

Immediately afterwards, Princess Anning comforted the weeping ladies and ladies: "This place is dangerous, please follow me to the backyard to take shelter for a while."

She hurriedly wanted to take everyone away, but on the other side, the courtyard door that was just blocked was slammed into it from the outside.At the same time, everyone also heard the voice of the mob coming from outside:
"Kill the princess, kill the son-in-law, take revenge, take revenge!—"

In an instant, all the people present were terrified, they retreated in fear, people crowded, and the situation began to become chaotic.

Qingshuang and Yunzhi also turned pale with fright.Qingshuang pretended to be calm, held Lou Xiyue's hand firmly, and said in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will never let you have trouble. If a thief rushes in, Yunzhi and I will stand in front of you. Look for the right moment and find an opportunity to run out!"

Lou Xiyue looked at her, and said calmly: "You don't need to be so panic, there is nothing to be afraid of. The prince knows that we are in the princess mansion. Right now the mob is rioting, and the princess mansion is in chaos. He must have got the news.

"I think it won't be long before the prince will bring people to rescue."

After finishing the sentence, Mrs. Chu on the other side immediately said, "That's right, everyone, don't panic. The Princess Mansion is in chaos, and someone outside will know about it. Just bear with it, and someone will come to rescue us."

Lou Xiyue saw that Madam Chu remained calm, so she knew there was nothing to worry about - she could tell that today's chaos was probably a series of schemes set up by Madam Chu and the people behind her against Princess Anning.

As long as Mrs. Chu is here, nothing will happen.

Even if the mastermind behind the scenes didn't care about Mrs. Chu, they probably wouldn't just watch so many people present being buried with the princess and son-in-law.

But everyone was not completely relieved by their words.

Thick smoke swept in, and the strong smell of burning permeated the entire lotus garden.Everyone coughed a few times, all worried.

Qingshuang and Yunzhi were nervously leaning against Lou Xiyue, they heard the loud knock on the door, and their hearts also jumped up.

Everyone waited in the courtyard in fear. Not long after, the intense movement outside the courtyard stopped suddenly, followed by several men groaning in pain.

"F-what happened?" Someone asked cautiously.

The boy in charge of blocking the door looked at the high wall, then let go of his hand slightly: "It seems to have stopped banging on the door."

The people didn't know what was going on outside, they only heard a man's voice from outside: "I will come to rescue you under the orders of Prince Yin, King Xuanping and Song Sizhi of Dali Temple, and please open the door to meet the princess and concubine!"

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed: "It's Prince Yin and the people from Dali Temple who came to rescue us, open the door quickly!"

The gate of the courtyard opened in response, and immediately, dozens of guards in official robes of Dali Temple pushed the door and entered.

The guards cleared a wide road, Lou Xiyue looked up, and saw a young man in purple striding forward.The visitor was tall and straight, wearing a gold and jade crown, with a clean face and regular features, and there was an unattainable nobility and arrogance in his gestures and gestures.

"My king's rescue came late, are you all safe?"

The man bowed his hands in front of everyone, with a somewhat humble attitude.

At this time, Mrs. Chu smiled and stepped forward to salute: "It really is Prince Yin. With the prince here, I am relieved - thank you for your concern, we are all fine, and thanks to the prince for coming in time, otherwise we will really escape Doomed."
