maid's harem life

Chapter 61

She hurriedly looked around for someone: "Come on, it's on fire..."

She didn't dare to delay her footsteps and ran towards that side. On the way, maids and eunuchs occasionally passed by. Qingyin often didn't care to avoid it, and bumped into her arms: "Hurry up, put out the fire..., it's on fire."

Before he finished speaking, the man ran away without a trace.

As Qingyin moved forward, the scenery around her seemed to be engraved in her mind, and she felt familiar.Before she had time to think about it, she ran to the dilapidated palace.

I immediately remembered, it was a cold palace!

There was chaos in the courtyard, and the guards were trying their best to fight the fire. Big buckets of water were poured into the burning room, thick smoke billowed up, and the sky was scorched. , The flames started a prairie fire.

Qingyin was stunned in place, her face was burned by the scorching heat, she hurriedly grabbed the hand of a guard: "Where is Concubine Liang, where is Concubine Liang?"

The guard was pulled by Qingyin, and the wooden bucket in his hand almost fell to the ground, he stomped his feet, and when he saw the woman's face clearly, he softened a little: "No, I don't know This fire... I'm afraid it can't be saved."

What?As soon as Qingyin let go of her hand, she watched the guard running towards the fire source.

Behind him, more and more people gathered and joined the ranks of fighting the fire one by one.

"Qingyin." There was an urgent call from behind, she turned her head and saw You Yang running over.

Although she was calling Qingyin's name, her eyes were fixed on the burning cold palace for a moment, until she got close to her side, then she put her hands on Qingyin's shoulders: "What...what's wrong."

"You Yang..." Qingyin's voice was choked with a little choking: "Concubine Liang is inside."

Although she only saw her twice, Qingyin still kept it in her heart. A plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake can easily satisfy such a woman, but now she is going to be buried in a sea of ​​flames.No body remains.

After hearing this, You Yang was just stunned, she took a step, and rushed towards the sea of ​​flames.

When Qingyin responded, she saw that Youyang had been stopped by two guards outside the hall, her hands were tightly grasping the hands of the two: "Let me in, please..." The crying sound was so obvious. passed on.

Qingyin hurriedly ran forward and hugged Youyang's body tightly: "Youyang, are you crazy, you will die."

Qingyin didn't think much about it, she just kept dragging her to the back: "It's so hot, it's useless..."

"No." The woman desperately wanted to shake it away, and stretched her fingers forward: "Let me go, let me go in."

Qingyin's hand hurt so much that she almost couldn't hold it, she grabbed Youyang's clothes, turned around and came to her: "Youyang, what's wrong with you."

Around, maids and eunuchs began to point and point, Qingyin held her cheeks with both hands, and wiped away the tears on her face: "Youyang..., do you know Concubine Liang?"

She asked casually, but You Yang suddenly quieted down, neither noisy nor fussy, her pupils lost their color, and there was ashes of silence, after a long while, she fixed her eyes on Qingyin's face.The chapped lips parted: "No... I don't know."

After saying a word, the tears rolled down again: "I just think of Hu Zhaoyi."

Qingyin took out her veil and wiped her tears.

Hu Zhaoyi.After playing a piece of music, he lost his life the next day.That kind of temperament is somewhat similar to that of Concubine Liang.

"Youyang, Hu Zhaoyi has been gone for so long, don't think about it anymore." Qingyin looked behind her, and the sour liquid followed.Once the women in the harem fall out of favor or are forgotten, will their end be so miserable?

You Yang didn't speak, just stared at the fire, her red lips were bitten out of blood, she was like a puppet whose soul had been taken out, she didn't move at all.Aware of her human presence, she forced herself to look nonchalant.

"The emperor is here..." The sound of the announcement came in time, and the people standing by the side, as well as the guards who put out the fire, all knelt down.

You Yang's gloomy and gloomy eyes flickered for a moment, she lowered her head, knelt down on her knees without hesitation, and with a sound of 'tong', she hit the ground heavily, without any use of ingenuity, all the strength of her whole body was gathered there Kneel up.

It seemed that only the pain that hit her could suppress the pain in her heart and the hatred that was about to explode.Not far from the side, the fire was still burning, showing no signs of stopping.

"My maidservant sees the emperor." She bent down and kowtowed, even her shoulders were shaking.

Emperor Hades stepped forward, and stood in front of the two of them with boots embroidered with gold silk. His eyes turned cold, and he looked at the spread of the fire.The bottom of the pool is three feet frozen, and the scorching heat of the fireworks can't melt it in the slightest.

"What's going on here." He held his hands against the wind, and the bright yellow dragon robe danced in the shadow of the fire, evil and charming, but as deadly as a Shura.

"Back..., back to the emperor, the fire started from inside the palace, and when the subordinates tried to save it, it was already too late..." The guard in charge of guarding the cold palace was afraid that he would not explain clearly, so he wanted to beheaded. : "During the period, the subordinates did not find that anyone appeared from the cold palace..."

Underworld Emperor was thoughtful, he took a step back, and then saw the two kneeling on the ground: "Qingyin, why are you here?"

Being ordered to die, Qingyin naturally remembered what Emperor Ming said last time: "Go back to the emperor, the servants saw that this side was on fire, so they came here with the crowd."

In my heart, I felt sad, for Concubine Liang, and even more for all the women who died in the harem.

"Get up." Underworld Emperor didn't show a trace of emotion, his tone was cold, and he didn't even want to open his mouth lazily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The people who knelt across the room got up one after another, Qingyin stood up first, and went to help Youyang.

The woman's arms cleverly avoided Qingyin's hand, and she stood up with her hands supported.Before he could stand still, he fell straight towards the Underworld Emperor in front of him.Her thin body drew a weak arc, her left hand fell on the man's waist, and her whole body was hung on the chest of Emperor Hades.

The subconscious reaction was to reach out and catch her slender body.

Qingyin's gaze landed on Youyang's knees, no wonder she couldn't stand still, there was a tear there, and the dark red blood stains seeped out, dyeing the outermost layer of the gauze skirt.

Underworld Emperor lowered his eyes, just in time to see the tip of You Yang's nose, she lowered her head, her fair skin was a little flushed, showing shyness and embarrassment: "Your Majesty..., please forgive me."

Underworld Emperor let go, he stared at You Yang's face evilly, the bottom of his eyes were unfathomable, as if he was planning, or seemed to be purely teasing, he suddenly lifted her chin with one hand : "Tell me, what's your name."

Her eyes were full of shyness, her eyelashes trembling slightly because of fear: "Servant, You Yang."

"You...Yang." Emperor Underworld whispered repeatedly, his index finger smacked her red lips ambiguously, gave a soft praise, and then let go: "Good name."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." You Yang bowed all over his body, with a smile in his pupils, he just stared at Emperor Ming.

Qingyin was like a bystander, standing in a corner ignored by the two of them.

What You Yang said seems to be true.She fell in love with Hades.

Looking at the eyebrows of the two, Qingyin lowered her head knowingly, she was originally indifferent in her life, but she couldn't help it after all, her heart ached unbearably.

On the side of Emperor Ming's face, he took in Qingyin's expression in his eyes. He stepped forward, and his eyes flashed with unbearable, but was hidden in an instant: "Qingyin, tonight, you don't have to sleep."

She raised her head in astonishment, even disrespectfully, staring straight at Emperor Hades with her eyes, her mouth was slightly opened, and she just wriggled silently, with a cold feeling in her pupils.Qingyin swallowed the breath she had finally recovered from: "Servant, I understand."

Underworld Emperor looked at her depressed head, walked out without saying a word.

He didn't say to continue saving lives... Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but Eunuch Fu added a sentence before leaving: "What are you still doing in a daze? It's impossible to burn down to the Golden Luan Hall!"

"Yes, yes." The guards on the side picked up the barrel again and rushed to grab the fire.

Some of the maids left behind went up to help, while some scattered and went back to the palace.

Qingyin looked at the back of the Underworld Emperor, whose unruly body was hidden in the setting sun, before she could think about it, Youyang's sobbing sound came from beside her.

"You Yang..."

The woman glanced back at her, then walked up to the first few steps towards the burnt cold palace. With a 'pop', the roof of the glazed tiles collapsed, and with a 'boom', the fire spread again.

The hot feeling became more and more obvious, debris mixed with burning fireballs flew in all directions, Qingyin held Youyang's arms with both hands, and her tears flowed down.

This fire lit up the night.

"Qingyin, what day is it today?" You Yang asked Qingyin beside him with tears streaming down his face.

She frowned and thought: "It's the ninth day."

Ninth day!She was struck by a thunderbolt, hitting the top of her head.

Isn't the ninth day of the lunar new year the day when Emperor Hades fell ill?Qingyin's eyes widened. On this day last month, she was accompanied by her, so it was not a serious problem. Today..., she was full of worry, so she froze on the spot.

After You Yang heard this, a sad expression immediately appeared on her face. Her lips trembled, and she muttered to herself: "Sister..., are you hinting at me? In order to let me have no worries, even the only way of retreat is not broken."

More and more people put out the fire, but it never extinguished. The former cold palace has long been turned into a cup of coke, everything is burnt out, and when the wind blows, it sprinkles on the radiant earth.

You Yang didn't hesitate for a moment, she turned around, turned her back to the entire collapsed palace, closed her eyes fiercely, the flames rushed deep into the clouds, making the pale moonlight red like blood.The steps are stiff, but not slow at all.She didn't look back again, the bitter wind blew across the faces of the two of them.

Qingyin wanted to catch up, but after walking a few steps, Youyang disappeared.She looked around in disbelief, only seeing guards rushing to and fro, and whimpering all over the yard.
