……

In the corner of the palace, Hu Yan Yingxia looked coldly at the fire in front of the bedroom and the busy people, showing a satisfied smile.

There was a lot of noise around her, so she stood by and watched with no intention of helping. As long as the fire could burn Xuan Ming and Yun Yige to death, her mission would be accomplished.

Just when she was feeling proud, bursts of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, lightning illuminated the night sky brightly, and then, it started raining without warning.

Everyone was stunned, then put down the buckets and water ladles in their hands, raised their hands to catch the rain from the sky, and cheered: "It's raining, it's raining!"

"Great! The fire is getting smaller and smaller!"

In the bedroom, Xuan Ming turned around to avoid the beams that fell straight on his head, and walked out quickly with Yun Yige in his arms.

Yun Yige hugged Xuan Ming's neck tightly, rain mixed with tears running down her face.

Xuan Ming patted Yunyi Ge on the back: "It's okay, it's okay."

Huyan Yingxia couldn't believe what she was seeing. How could it rain in such a season? !

The maid behind her had a ruthless look in her eyes. She touched the hidden weapon in her sleeve and asked, "Do you want me to take action?"

"This subordinate is sure to kill you with one blow."

Hu Yan Yingxia stopped her with a look, and struck a fatal blow. Xuan Ming was dead, and they were afraid that they would not be able to get out of the Hades Mansion.

We are not ready yet. Using a hidden weapon will definitely leave clues. We have missed the best opportunity. Taking action at this time will only arouse the enemy.

……

In the Yun Mansion, Yun Jingzhu, who had his hands clasped together, suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Se'er cried and knelt down beside Yun Jingzhu, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Master, please don't beg, it's raining... the fire has been extinguished..."

Although Yun Jingzhu didn't say a word, Se'er had been with him for many years, and she could guess the general meaning of his every move and look.

Just now, at night, Yun Jingzhu, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt flustered. He opened his eyes and asked Se'er to bring him a cup of hot tea. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of fire in the southwest. He immediately got up and went out to take a look. That direction was exactly the direction of Hades' Palace.

Thinking that his sister was still inside, without hesitation, he pulled the copper coin pendant from his neck. After some calculations, he was shocked. Then, he asked Se'er to prepare the utensils for praying for rain and began to pray for rain.

"Okay, it's raining, okay..."

Yun Jingzhu murmured, his hands dropped weakly, he closed his eyes with relief, and passed out.

"Son!"

Se'er's tears welled up again and she hurriedly went to find the doctor.

……

The fire was finally put out, and the courtyard of Hades Mansion was in a mess.

Everyone had been busy all night, and at this moment, it was already dawn.

Xuan Ming's face was ashen. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain, he would have been burned to death in his bedroom.

Zhan Yue, Qian Sui and others were frightened and knelt on the ground in front of Xuan Ming in darkness.

Originally, the fire could be extinguished immediately when they discovered it, but the guards all knew what the prince and princess would do at night, so they didn't stay very close. By the time they found out, the fire had already started.

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a trembling voice: "This fire... It has been cold and windy recently. Xu Shifeng blew the red lantern on the eaves and fell down. The lantern fire ignited the lantern and the wooden steps of the threshold. The wind was also strong. , the fire started all of a sudden.”

"In the future, we must carefully check the hanging lanterns to ensure that what happened today will never happen again..."

The housekeeper knelt on the ground and felt weak all over. If the masters really wanted to do something good, his old bones would be ruined.

The Lantern Festival was approaching, and the housekeeper had early ordered people to hang red lanterns and various lanterns under the eaves of each house, making the mansion extra bright and elegant.

The red lanterns are made of rushes, which are tied together with tree roots and straw, and are wrapped with a layer of rushes. Once they fall off, it will easily burn the lantern paper and yarn outside, and then ignite other nearby objects, causing fire.

Xuan Ming rubbed his eyebrows: "I don't blame you for this, Zhan Yue. Have you checked the breaks in the silk and gold and silver threads used to hang the lanterns?"

Zhan Yue said solemnly: "The burnt lanterns are no longer identifiable. However, for the lanterns that fell far away and were not burned, the gold and silver wires seemed to have been broken by stones instead of being blown away by strong winds. "

The housekeeper was shocked. This was not a natural disaster, but someone who deliberately wanted to kill the prince and princess? !

What Zhan Yue said later was beyond his imagination.

Only then did he understand why the prince said he was not to blame. It turned out that these were all done deliberately.

"Your Majesty, would you like to find out who did this?" Zhan Yue asked in a low voice.

"There is no need to check, I know who it is."

"Find some carpenters to repair the bedroom. Make the walls thicker and use pottery urns to build the walls with their mouths facing inward. Also, make the new bed bigger."

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment. Before he could recover from the shock that someone wanted to kill the prince, he was surprised again.

"Did you hear that clearly?" Xuan Ming asked impatiently.

"It's clear, it's clear." The housekeeper nodded repeatedly.

The soundproofing of the previous bedroom was extremely poor. He once suspected that it even had a sound amplification function, and the sounds inside could be clearly heard outside.Build a wall with the mouth of the pottery urn facing inward to prevent the sounds inside from being heard outside.

As for why I changed to a big bed, maybe the bed is too small and I can’t get out of it...

……

After handling these matters and returning to the room to change clothes, Xuan Ming asked worriedly: "Are you injured?"

Yun Yige's back was turned to her. She wiped the tears from her eyes, took the medicine box and applied medicine to his hands and arms.

Because the rain came in time, his injuries were not serious.

"You just wanted to break out with me in your arms?"

She was almost going to lose him.

In this life, she finally saved the Yun family and the Song family, but she almost lost him. She put down the medicine in her hand, and the last bit of strength she had to hold on was exhausted, and she was about to collapse. on the ground.

Xuan Ming quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands, and she hugged him tightly: "If anything happens to you, I don't want to live alone."

"No, Zhan Yue and the others are outside. The fire has been much less intense by then."

Yunyige could no longer recall the specific situation at that time, and her head felt dizzy.

"Originally, that person came for me, but I got you involved." Xuan Ming blamed herself in her heart, feeling sorry that she was frightened.

"You and I are one, how can we be involved or not involved?" Yun Yige's eyes seemed to be uncontrollable, like a river bursting its banks, with tears flowing continuously.

"This will never happen again."

Xuan Ming held her in his arms, gently stroked her head, kissed her forehead, eyes, nose, and cheeks tenderly, comforting her not to be afraid.
