Chapter 61
"Back... back to the princess, I don't know... why the fire started, but the servant saw the thick smoke from the fire in your bedroom, I think it's... I think it's..." The voice of the maid became lower and lower, louder and louder. The sweat flowed down.

The concubine's face turned pale, she flicked her sleeves, and immediately rushed out the door. My face remained unchanged, I glanced at Xu Jingsheng, and said lightly: "The palace is on fire. Since I am here, I naturally have to share my worries for the concubine. Young master should not enter the inner room, just wait here for a while if you feel wronged!"

Without looking at his dull expression, he immediately followed Princess Xu, seeing her straight back as she hurried towards her bedroom, a sneer flashed across her lips.

Standing in the long corridor outside the bedroom, Princess Xu's slender eyebrows, which were guarded by everyone, frowned very tightly when she saw the thick smoke escaping from her bedroom.

But she is also a resolute, not frightened by the billowing smoke, walking firmly, without looking at the eunuchs and maidservants who came to put out the fire, she lifted her foot and walked inward.

An old eunuch with swollen eyes rushed over and stopped her with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I will never let you! You have a body of gold, so don't take risks..."

She lowered her head, glanced at the eunuch, and said softly: "You are very right, but," she looked up at the place where the fireworks came from, "There are many royal gifts in the palace..."

The eunuch's voice immediately lowered a lot: "This old slave is desperate to save..."

She stopped talking.

I sneered in my heart, whether it is a gift from the imperial family or a dowry from my natal family, it must be kept in a secret room, how can I let these yin servants know?
Otherwise, I don't have to throw the yin phosphorus pills given by my grandfather into the incense burner that is still hot.

The pill has a wonderful point, it doesn't need to be ignited specially, just bury it in the place where the dark fire once burned, and the fire will be born in a short time, and the fire has a lot of smoke, and it looks like a raging fire directly, but the actual damage is small. very.

When I was young, I loved to scare people in the villa with this. I wrapped it in incense burner ashes, put it in a copper box, and threw it into the toilet through the partition wall.

Then I couldn't help watching the men with their trousers up in the black smoke that frightened people.

Now Concubine Xu is also in the trap, and she has to keep a pale face, frowning and thinking among a group of men and women who are panicking to put out the fire, but the more panicked the fire is, the more panicked they are. With her status, the guards can't let her enter the fire scene in person. , but some objects had to be saved.

I was behind the crowd, watching her think for a while, beckoned to Lan Zhou, and gave a few low-key instructions. The woman turned pale, then nodded firmly, picked up a bucket of water, and covered her mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief , and went to the palace.

Concubine Xu saw her entering the bedroom, then turned around and looked back.

I know she is looking for me.

The corners of my lips curled up silently, I stretched out my leg and tripped, tripping an eunuch who hurried over with a bucket next to me.

Amidst the shrieks of neither male nor female, most of the bucket of water was splashed out brightly, right in the direction of the princess.

Everyone exclaimed, crowded, unable to dodge in time.

In the chaos, my figure flashed, and I jumped out over the corridor railing.

There was a lot of smoke in the bedroom.

The Yin phosphorus pill is really a good thing, water can't be extinguished, but the moisture will stick to it, making the smog thicker and thicker, and no one can be seen on the other side.

Lan Zhou tightly covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and flapped his other hand in front of his eyes in vain, trying to wave away the heavy smoke.

I appeared in the thick smoke like a ghost, walked slowly towards her silently, and walked quietly beside her. It was ridiculous that she didn't feel the slightest bit, coughing muffledly, and groped towards the indoor bed.

Unable to distinguish things, it is naturally difficult to find things. Lan Zhou had to cover his nose and find things again. After tossing with one hand for a while, he heard a soft click, and a small and exquisite table on the couch popped out. box.

Lan Zhou let out a low cry of joy, emptied the water in the bucket, wrapped the things in the drawer with a cloth curtain, and put them in the bucket. I heard her breathe a sigh of relief, lifted the bucket and went Want to go out through another door.

I smile lightly.

Hearing the laughter, Lan Zhou looked back in horror, but the surroundings were still dark and no one was there.That low laugh seemed to be an illusion.

Like a gust of wind blowing by, Lan Zhou felt that the bucket in his hand suddenly became slightly lighter, and his heart trembled. Lan Zhou lowered his head and reached into the bucket to feel for it.

A moment later, she screamed.

After leaving the bedroom, I put the package on the top of the tree, jumped down, made a detour, and returned to the corridor.

The crowd was still fighting the fire in confusion, and the princess was standing far away at the corner of the corridor under heavy protection.

I approached her side on purpose, pretending to comfort her, she glanced at me, and said lightly: "The princess must be tired, the fire is not serious, let's go back and rest first."

I was happy, Lan Zhou's movements were considered fast, and it didn't take much time to get the things, so I went back and forth, which was the time to clean up the chaos of the fallen eunuch, and the princess didn't notice that I was not there for a while.

Now I walk in front of her empty-handed once, even if she doubts me later, she can't say anything.

When I got out of the corridor, I took off the brocade bag from the tree and put it in my arms. There was no one around, and everyone gathered outside the bedroom to fight the fire.

After getting the things and calming down, I feel weak and weak. The lost true essence has left my inner organs empty and helpless. This turning arrangement has exhausted the remaining vitality. Xu fluttered up and wandered without a place to scratch. My eyes were dark for a while, then white for a while. The scenery was upside down and blurred. .

The daylight suddenly dimmed, and a black shadow stopped in front of me, a voice that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, with a bit of frivolity and complacency, entered my confused mind: "My noble sister, do you want to sneak away after stealing something? "

I slowly raised my head.

Steadily control your heartbeat.

Just a moment ago, the sudden constriction of my heart made my blood flow almost retrograde, and I could almost hear my heart beating heavily in the tinnitus and dizziness, as if it was about to burst out of my throat.

However, when I tried to distinguish the voice, I immediately bit the tip of my tongue. The sharp pain made me wake up a lot immediately. The slightly fishy and slightly sweet blood flowed out slowly, but the cold sweat subsided in an instant.
