Heaven and earth return to one

Yihua Palace is the empress dowager's bedroom. When Li Yunshen and Li Yunke heard this, their faces turned pale, and they couldn't care about anything at the moment, leaving everyone behind and hurried to Yihua Palace.

In an instant, the imperial garden was in chaos.

Li Yunke's footsteps were much faster than Li Yunshen's. At this time, he didn't care whether he overstepped or not, and rushed towards Yihua Palace, calling for people to put out the fire along the way.

"My lord!" Someone suddenly called him halfway.

Li Yunke glanced back, seeing the imperial guards he sent to look for Ben Fusheng running over in a panic, his heart sank again.

The guard didn't have time to get close and hurriedly said: "My lord, the eldest prince Qiujue was not found, only our people were found. None of the eight guards survived, their necks were broken, and their bodies were hidden in the rockery next to the hut. back."

Li Yunke clenched his fists and ordered: "Stop Ben Lang and Ben Fusheng, and continue to find Ben Hongsheng!"

Fortunately, when he arrived outside Yihua Palace, he realized that although the fire was huge, the main burning place was not Yihua Palace.The Empress Dowager had already been helped out, Xu Shi was a little startled, she leaned against the arms of the little palace maid who was serving her closely, and kept her hand on her heart.

"Mother, are you okay?" Li Yunke came over, knelt down in front of her, and asked with concern.

"Ke'er..." The queen mother has been pampered and pampered all her life, and she has never experienced such a thing. When she saw her close relatives, she felt wronged all of a sudden, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Li Yunke reassured: "It's all right, don't be afraid, Queen Mother."

The little eunuch at the side handed over a glass of warm water, "The empress dowager should take a sip of water to calm the shock, and the imperial doctor will be here soon."

Li Yunke took the water, tested the temperature of the water before handing it to the queen mother, got up and looked towards the place where the fire was burning.

The place where the fire broke out is called the Shoujing Pavilion. It is a place for storing all military-related documents and materials such as the situation of the garrisons in various places and military reports. It is not in the courtyard where the harem lives. Only then did Yihua Palace be lit.

Even if there was no news of the killing of the eight imperial guards reported by the guards, Li Yunke would not think that the fire in the Shoujing Pavilion was accidental, but he hadn't figured out why they did it.

At this time Li Yunshen was carried by the sedan chair and arrived, he staggered off the sedan chair and threw himself in front of the Empress Dowager, he asked anxiously, "Is the Empress Dowager okay?"

Li Yunke quietly stepped aside.

"Help, Your Majesty!" A court lady ran over in a state of embarrassment, her face covered in ashes, and said in a trembling voice, "Princess...Princess Wanxian is trapped in the guarding pavilion!"

Li Yunshen's hands trembled, he almost rolled his eyes, and passed out directly.

Princess Wanxian was born to Li Yunshen and Concubine Ming, and she is his favorite daughter. She just turned 15 this year.

This princess is different from other sisters since she was a child. She is smart and smart, and has shown a strong interest in marching and fighting.But originally this Shoujing Pavilion was not a place that you could enter casually if you were interested, but Li Yunshen loved her, and at her begging, he gave her a special license, allowing her to go inside to check what she wanted to see at any time.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Li Yunshen didn't respond, the maid crying for help cried again.

Then Li Yunshen lost his mind and said: "Save... save people! What are you doing standing here, why don't you hurry up!"

A group of court ladies and eunuchs ran south with the guard Hulala, planning to go around to the other side to save people.

Looking at the fire, Li Yunke thought that even if the contents inside hadn't been burnt clean, it would be too late for them to rush over to rescue them.Although he didn't like Li Yunshen very much, but the little girl was innocent after all, and she was the granddaughter of his junior empress dowager, so there was no reason to refuse to save her.Thinking in this way, Li Yunke jumped up, and after a few ups and downs, he turned over the courtyard wall behind Yihua Palace.

The fire in the Shoujing Pavilion was too big, even if a group of people around were pouring buckets of water one after another, it would be futile. If the fire was to be extinguished, the only way to put it out was to wait for everything inside and outside to be burned clean.

Li Yunke glanced roughly, the fire had already engulfed the second floor of the third-floor Shoujing Pavilion, and the last floor was about to be destroyed.Without any further hesitation, he grabbed the bucket of water that the little eunuch beside him was about to pour on, soaked himself from head to toe, and then flew straight up to the third floor.

Kicking open the window that was burned to the point where only a frame remained, Li Yunke felt bad as soon as he landed—the wooden plank under his feet made a dying creaking sound, and it was almost unable to support it.

He avoided the flames, moved his steps carefully, and called out: "Wanxian! Are you there, just call me back!"

A moment later, amidst the crackling of flames, a girl's sobs could be heard.The little girl begged for help with a trembling voice like a meowing cat, and said, "I...I am here!"

Li Yunke listened to the sound and argued, and looked towards the source of the sound while walking there. Not long after, he saw the girl shivering and shivering under the white jade tea table, looking dirty, but her eyes were still clear.

The wooden planks began to loosen, and Li Yunke was afraid that she would be in danger if she moved around, and said, "Wanxian, Uncle Huang is here to save you, you stay there and don't move."

Princess Wanxian was terrified. Hearing that someone said they were coming to rescue her, she crawled out from under the Baiyucha case on all fours, strode towards Li Yunke, and shouted, "Uncle Huang, take me out!"

"Wait!" Li Yunke was about to stop her, but it was already too late.

As soon as the little girl got up, she stepped on the wrong place with her first foot. She only heard a clicking sound, and her body quickly fell down.Princess Wanxian screamed in shock, shouting "Uncle Emperor".

Li Yunke cursed in a low voice, stepped forward in two steps, jumped down the hole in the middle of the floor, caught Princess Wanxian's hand that was always upstretched halfway, and pulled her over and clasped her into his arms.At the same time, with one palm facing down, the force of the palm was raised sharply, and he slashed at the flame below with all his strength.

The raging fire was split open by his palm, leaving enough room for one person to stand.

Li Yunke hugged Princess Wanxian and landed safely. Seeing that there was no way out, he wanted to return to the spot.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there was another cracking sound of broken wood next to it. Li Yunke was about to look over, but before he turned his head, he felt the wind on the left side was strong.He had no choice but to rely on his feelings and instincts, squatting down with his arms around Princess Wanxian's waist, and completely protecting the little girl in his arms.

"Hmm...cough cough..."

The burnt pillar hit Li Yunke hard on the head and back. Half of his internal strength failed to protect all the internal organs. Unable to hold back, he finally spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Uncle Emperor..." Princess Wanxian was so frightened that she almost convulsed, and burst into tears in his arms.

Li Yunke's mind was buzzing, and he had no time to comfort her, so he said briefly: "Cover your mouth and nose, hold me tight."

Fortunately, the little girl knew how to be obedient, one command and one movement, her left hand covered her mouth and nose, her right hand went around Li Yunke's neck, and tightly grasped his shirt.

Li Yunke raised his breath and jumped up. The pain in his back and chest almost made it difficult for him to hold the breath. He gritted his teeth and stood up, so as not to fall back in mid-air.

After leaving the Shoujing Pavilion, he brought Princess Wanxian to the ground, his legs softened, and he knelt directly on the ground.

Princess Wanxian subconsciously supported his body, but the little girl had already been frightened so that her limbs trembled. Naturally, she couldn't support a man as tall as him, and both of them fell to the ground immediately.

"Princess!" A court lady saw it and ran over shouting.

Princess Wanxian sat up from the ground with difficulty, thinking that Li Yunke was dead, she cried and patted his face, but her hands were covered with blood, and her crying became louder immediately.

Li Yunshen who had arrived at this time also rushed over, dragged his beloved daughter into his arms, and said nervously: "Girl, are you injured, tell Father quickly!"

"No...no, Uncle Huang saved my son, but he..." Princess Wanxian grabbed Li Yunshen's lapel and cried, "Father, is Uncle Huang dead?"

Over there, Li Yunke was supported by two young eunuchs and stood up. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "The emperor's fate is hard, and he may have to live for a few more years before he dies."

The little girl turned to look at him, wiping her tears in surprise, "Uncle Huang! It's great that you are fine, thank you Uncle Huang for saving his life!"

Li Yunke thought, this little girl is really good, she is so scared and still knows how to miss her, so she is not in vain.He was about to say thank you, when his chest hurt again, he coughed a few times, and choked up another mouthful of blood.

"My lord!" The little eunuch on the side exclaimed.

Princess Wanxian had already been brought to the imperial physician by Concubine Ming who was in tears. Li Yunshen saw that half of Li Yunke's face was covered in blood, and said, "Thank you for saving Wanxian."

Li Yunke's head and ears were buzzing, and he had double images when he looked at people. His left eye was smeared with blood, his nose and mouth were full of bloody smell, and none of his facial features were useful.He struggled to smile at Li Yunshen, and said, "That's also my brother's niece, should...cough coughcough...should..."

Li Yunshen hesitated for a moment, and said, "The things inside, you..."

It's good if people can be rescued, and you still miss what's inside.Li Yunke sneered secretly, too lazy to talk to him, closed his eyes, and fell back directly.

"My lord!"

Li Yunshen was stunned for a moment, then he regained his strength and then pointed at the eunuchs on his left and right and shouted: "Are you all idiots, why don't you take the prince down to rest, and the imperial doctor Xuan will come and see him!"

Several young eunuchs shrank their necks and agreed, and hurriedly carried Li Yunke down.

Director Bai looked at Li Yunshen's expression, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, there is some danger here. Let the people below handle the fire fighting. Why don't you go sit with the Queen Mother? I heard that Concubine Ming and Princess Wanxian are also going there. It’s Yihua Palace.”

Li Yunshen sighed, "Let's go."

He didn't expect that in such a short distance, three guards of the Imperial Army would come and report three things in succession.

"My Majesty, there is water in the imperial study!"

"My Majesty, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry are in trouble!"

"My Majesty, the main tents of the East and West camps are flooded!"

Li Yunshen was angry.
