After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

The black sun set in the west, and the remaining light in the sky gradually dissipated, turning into an inky twilight.

Han Guang felt that he had lost his mind, but Master Ning only said a few words to coax him into dropping his errand and rushing to the palace.

Fortunately, he was still rational and did not rush into the inner palace, but went to find his master first.

Xiao Ding had just finished his shift. When he saw his apprentice coming, his head buzzed and he asked, "What happened in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Before Han Guang finished speaking, Xiao Ding jumped up and said, "You are out of your mind. You left the young lady alone in the mansion at this time!" He put on his robe and walked out, cursing, "If something happens, how many lives can you take?"

Han Guang was scolded so badly that he couldn't even raise his head. He followed his master silently.

Xiao Ding is now the leader of the personal guards of Emperor Zhaoyuan in the palace, and is allowed to enter and leave the Forbidden Palace without any hindrance. But it is already the time for lighting, and the palace gates have been locked. It is quite taboo to enter the Yuchen Palace directly at this time.

The eunuch on duty outside the palace today was a thin-faced eunuch with a high nose and thin lips. When he saw Xiao Ding and the others, he gestured from a distance: "Commander Xiao, why are you here at this time?"

Xiao Ding said politely, "Please inform Eunuch Wei that Han Guang wants to see His Majesty."

He placed special emphasis on the word "Hanguang", which made Wei Dexi look at the young man in surprise.

Han Guang, who is this person that His Majesty would care about him so much?

Who knew that when he passed the message up, before Wu Shilu came out to pass on the message, Emperor Zhaoyuan's voice immediately rang out: "Bring Hanguang up."

Wei Dexi's heart trembled, and he dared not to be negligent. They had been serving the emperor for a long time, so they could naturally hear what the emperor was thinking at the moment.

He hurried down to lead the people up, and before the two people could kowtow, Emperor Zhaoyuan raised his hand and uttered a word concisely: "Speak."

Han Guang quickly explained what happened in the Marquis' Mansion today in a few words. Wu Shilu, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but his face became increasingly darker.

When it came to Miss Ning asking Han Guang to take her to the fire scene, Emperor Zhao Yuan finally slammed the table and scolded, "Nonsense!"

At this moment, all the palace maids fell to their knees.

Emperor Zhaoyuan gave a series of orders without hesitation: "Wei Dexi, go back to Ciqing Palace and tell them that I have something urgent to do and will have dinner with my mother another day."

"Wu Shilu, go get me the clothes I'll wear when I leave the palace. Xiao Ding, go get Wuxiang here. Whose turn is it to patrol the camp today? Tell the people of the Five Cities Military Department that there's a fire in Xinyuan Marquis's mansion. Ask them to dispatch the government troops to put out the fire quickly!"

Chu Huan's eyes were heavy on Han Guang, making him unable to stand up. Emperor Zhao Yuan's voice was filled with ice and snow: "If you are put beside Ning'er, you will have to take the responsibility of persuading and protecting her. Ning'er is young and doesn't know the importance of things. Are you going to do the same?"

Han Guang kowtowed several times: "This subordinate deserves death!"

Chu Huan had changed out of his dragon-patterned uniform and put on a dark blue robe with narrow sleeves and no visible patterns. He said calmly, "You know how to listen to your master, and you don't deserve to die. It's just that you are too inflexible. At this critical moment, you came here in person. Ning'er has something to do, who should she look for?"

He looked at Xiao Ding: "In the final analysis, it was you, the master, who didn't teach him well. Why didn't you tell him that when encountering such a thing, he should directly use the Xiaobao."

Xiao Ding and Han Guang were both shocked. The master and disciple looked at each other and then responded with a shudder, "I obey your command."

The Owl Report has always been a way for the palace guards to communicate with each other when escorting the emperor. It cannot be used easily unless the emperor leaves the palace. On that rainy night, Chu Huan was incognito, and Xiao Ding used the Owl Report to contact Han Guang outside the Marquis's mansion.

Such measures, which concern the safety of the king, have always been extremely important, and no one except the emperor himself is allowed to interfere.

And now, for the sake of Miss Shen from Xinyuan Marquis's Mansion, His Majesty personally spoke up and allowed Han Guang to use...

Wu Shilu's teeth were aching again. Every time he thought that the emperor valued the little ancestor enough, the old man would always refresh his cognition again.

He pondered in his mind, should he educate a few smart and sensible children well, and send them to Miss Ning when she entered the palace?

Xinyuanhou Mansion, Shen Chongyan's courtyard.

The sudden fire today touched Old Madam Zhu's heart so much that during dinner, she specially called out and summoned all the remaining masters and ladies in the mansion to have a family banquet at three tables.

Standing closely to the right of Old Madam Zhu was Shen Chongyao's wife, Xiang, who had a group of children and even two concubines who gave birth to her children.

In Mrs. Luo's absence, the second daughter-in-law naturally took on the task of serving her mother-in-law and preparing meals.

The room was full of people, filled with the unique liveliness of children, and the old lady's expression softened when she saw it. She smiled and said, "Mengxuan, please sit down. It's not a formal banquet, but in this chaotic time, it's more peaceful for the family to be together."

Compared to the prosperous second branch, the branch of the Marquis's mansion inevitably seemed sparse and desolate. After counting, Shen Chongyan was on his sickbed, Luo Miaoyun took her two children back to her parents' home, and only Concubine Song was left to support the situation alone.

Madam Zhu looked around and asked, "Why don't you see Aunt Ye?"

Xiang Ming came up and said, "Madam Ye was ill today. She went back to her room to get medicine in the afternoon. I wonder if she is feeling better now? I have sent someone to check on her in the courtyard. I think we will have news soon."

When Ning'er heard Aunt Ye's name, her ears twitched. Although she was sitting downstairs, her mind had already flown away.

Chuncao picked out several of her favorite dishes and placed them in front of her, but Ning'er seemed to have no appetite. She was thinking about Han Guang on the one hand, and Liu Kui in the small Buddhist temple on the other.

Ning'er had asked the Second Master earlier, but Shen Chongyao only told her, "Although the fire has been brought under control, it is difficult to put it out immediately. At this moment, everyone in Xixi Courtyard has evacuated, so there won't be any more casualties."

As for whether Mama Liu was alive or dead, no one would know unless the fire was completely extinguished. Fire and water had no eyes, and she couldn't force the second master to send someone in to die.

Chuncao noticed that Ning'er was absent-minded at the moment, so she asked in a low voice, "It's a bit stuffy in the hall, would you like to go out for some fresh air, young lady?"

Ning'er glanced up at the table. Old Madam Zhu was talking to Madam Xiang. She nodded and said, "Tell Sister Xiuyu that I'm going to change my clothes."

As soon as she walked out of the flower hall, a refreshing breeze blew in her face, and Ning'er suddenly felt her five senses refreshed.

At this time, the lights were just coming on, the night was as dark as water, and standing on the stone steps and looking west, a fire could still be seen faintly. Chuncao quietly walked behind the girl, knowing that she was in a low mood, and deliberately found a light-hearted topic.

She smiled and asked, "Girl, I heard that a handsome man came to the old lady's place today."

Ning Er glanced at her and said, "What handsome man? He must be a very important official."

Chuncao said, "No matter how big he is, can he be as big as the Marquis? The sisters who have seen him all say that he is a fair-faced young man, very handsome."

Ning Er was amused by her. She thought about Lu Kui's description and felt that it was right. Although this man looked good, he had a very strange temper and a rough life. Although Ning Er was not familiar with him, she did not dislike him.

It's funny to say that if the old lady hadn't refused, Lu Kui would have been forced to stay for dinner. He stayed around the mansion and just couldn't bear to leave.

Later, his men came in several times and whispered something in his ear. Only then did he reluctantly leave.

After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, Lu Kui did not get into the carriage. Instead, he sat outside the carriage in great spirits, enjoying the cool breeze and thinking about his Miss Ning'er in his heart.

Suddenly, the coachman pulled the reins and braked the carriage. Lu Kui was unable to react and was almost thrown off. He said in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing?"

When he looked up, he almost fell off the car. His beautiful eyes suddenly widened and he stared in amazement at the majestic and unparalleled black horse a few steps away.

He said blankly: "No...No appearance?"
