Chapter 24. Burning the Corpse for the Queen

"This world does not allow me to have a moment of peace!" Emperor Yunhui waved his sleeves angrily, but he also had to pay attention to the diarrhea incident in the National Temple. He turned around and looked at Ye Chengmeng apologetically, "Come out with me to deal with it."

Cai Kern bent down and followed Emperor Yunhui out of the stone gate. The stone gate was closed again, leaving the two people on the beam alone.

"Princess, princess, we have to go out quickly, otherwise if the emperor gu wakes up again, we will have a dead end." Zi Yuan quickly patted Ye Lingxi on the shoulder, "Princess?"

"Your life belongs to me!" Zi Yuan never expected that Ye Lingxi's first sentence would be like this when she raised her head. The pain, or the coldness of the wet clothes, "If I can let you go back to the imperial guard camp safely, would you be willing to serve me for the rest of my life?"

Ziyuan was stunned, "Princess, who are you?"

"I want to get out alive, you take me out immediately!" Ye Lingxi's voice was hoarse, as if she was holding back some anger.

Ziyuan stared blankly at Ye Lingxi's face. She was so serious at the moment that it was frightening. From the time she first met to now, Ziyuan had never seen her so serious even though she had unintentionally treated her several times, "That... It’s enough to be a slave, and the horses and oxen still need to pull the cart. I’m weak, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to pull the princess’s carriage..."

"You..." Ye Lingxi didn't expect Ziyuan to say such a sentence suddenly, and a hint of warmth suddenly appeared on her serious face, "Stop talking nonsense here, and take Ben Gong out of here quickly."

"Yes! Yes!" Ziyuan looked down, wrapped her arms around Ye Lingxi tightly, and felt her cheeks were burning. She didn't know why her heart always beat faster when she got close to her, "Princess forgive me Ah, the little one is going down." As soon as the words finished, Ziyuan's figure had rolled off the beam, she raised her breath in the air to stabilize her body, and brought Ye Lingxi to the ground safely.

"Aunt Huang..." Ye Lingxi looked at Ye Chengmeng's corpse with tears in her eyes, wanted to touch Aunt Huang's face, but stopped hesitantly.

"This corpse cannot be kept." Ziyuan's voice suddenly rang in Ye Lingxi's ears, and she had already let go of Ye Lingxi's body and walked to the ever-burning lamp, as if preparing to burn the corpse.

Ye Lingxi hastily stopped Ziyuan, "Do you know that private burning of royal corpses is a serious crime?"

"The little one doesn't care what the emperor raises the emperor's gu, the little one only knows that the gu insects are not good, if this emperor's gu is kept alive, it will definitely be a disaster for Lin'an in the future." Ziyuan finished speaking seriously, her expression became extremely dignified "His Royal Highness, the Dajin has been bewitched every year because of the Dajin royal family's admiration for Gu. If you feed small Gu worms, you can keep the country safe for thousands of years. Dare I ask the princess, is Dayun Tiantian really Kangping?" After Yuan finished speaking, she pushed away Ye Lingxi's blocking arm, and approached Ye Chengmeng's corpse with a long burning lamp, "There must be heavy guards outside, so let's open the door openly like this, even if we can leave here on the honor of the princess, but Princess, can you guarantee that the emperor will not kill us to cover up the secrets of the royal family? So, if we want to get out safely, there must be a fire here."

Ye Lingxi's body trembled violently. Her father could sacrifice even her own sister. In order to cover up this secret, so what if she killed her daughter?

"Being an ox or a horse, the little ones will die!" Ziyuan turned her head suddenly, and grinned at Ye Lingxi with a somewhat innocent smile, "So the princess must live, and the little ones can live." After finishing speaking , the ever-burning lamp in his hand had been thrown out without hesitation, and hit Ye Chengmeng's body heavily.

The flame scorched Ye Chengmeng's clothes, and jumped up cracklingly. The emperor's gu in it was scorched by the fire, and couldn't help getting out of Ye Chengmeng's skin, twisting his body in pain in the flames, making a terrible hissing sound. It's like a hell bug screaming crazily in sight.

"Aunt Huang... let's go all the way..." Ye Lingxi finished speaking with tears in her eyes, "No matter what, I must figure out why my father treats you so cruelly?"

"The princess is here."

Ye Lingxi only felt a sudden warmth in her palms, but before she could react, she had already come to the stone gate with Zi Yuan holding her.She watched in a daze as Ziyuan carefully moved a crack in the stone door, and fanned the burning white smoke into the crack.

"Princess?" Ziyuan noticed Ye Lingxi's fiery gaze, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and met Ye Lingxi's eyebrows, "I... I just want to attract people from outside..."

Ye Lingxi came to her senses, and quickly withdrew her hand, feeling her heart beating violently, she avoided Ziyuan's eyebrows and eyes, "I will go by myself, if you treat me lightly..."

"Here we come!" Ye Lingxi's words were interrupted by Zi Yuan's vigilant shout, and she was carefully hiding at the door, moving slowly according to the angle at which the stone door was pushed open, until she saw two guards stepping in here. Waiting for the guards to shout anxiously, while closing the stone gate in an instant, two sharp hand knives made the two guards obediently fall unconscious,

Ziyuan waved at Ye Lingxi, signaling Ye Lingxi to come over quickly, "Hurry up and put on their armor, let's get out!"

"Okay." Ye Lingxi nodded, just as she walked in front of the guard, she seemed to have thought of something, and glared at Ziyuan fiercely, "Turn your back on me!"

Ziyuan coughed dryly twice, peeled off the guard's armor with a blushing face, and quickly put on the armor with her back to Ye Lingxi. Looking at the flames here, it seemed to be getting smaller and smaller. He took down the other long burning lamp and lit all the Buddhist curtains in the hall.

When the flames filled the entire hall and thick smoke billowed, Ziyuan turned her head and saw that Ye Lingxi was fully dressed, "Your Highness, it's time for us to go out."

Ye Lingxi couldn't help covering her nose and coughing, "The smoke is so choking."

Ziyuan also covered her nose, ran behind the stone gate, hurriedly opened the stone gate, lowered her voice and shouted: "It's not good, it's on fire, it's on fire!"

"This...how can this be good!"

Thick smoke poured out of the stone gate, and the hall was full of flames. The guards at the gate saw this scene, and they all panicked. This is the forbidden area of ​​the national temple, the most important place for the emperor. If such a fire breaks out, it must be a serious crime to turn around. After the fire was fired, the mortal crime of turning around was unavoidable.

It's so...so...it's better...to escape!

"Run!" Seeing the hesitant looks of several guards, Ziyuan couldn't help sniggering, reached out and grabbed Ye Lingxi's hand, and shouted in the thick smoke.

Some of the more than a hundred guards hesitated for a moment and rushed to put out the fire, while some were afraid of being punished and hurried away. Zi Yuan secretly followed the escaped guards and ran along the Buddhist road.

In the front yard of the National Temple, princes and nobles were still complaining of diarrhea, and thick black smoke suddenly appeared in the backyard of the National Temple.

Emperor Yunhui, who was on the way, saw the direction of the forbidden area, and his heart became extremely cold in an instant, "Go to the fire, go to the fire! If you lose anything, I want you all to pay with your life!"

"Escort! Escort!" Liu Ping of the Imperial Guard Battalion hurriedly brought the captains of the imperial guards to escort and protect Emperor Yunhui safely.

Emperor Yunhui Longyan was furious, "What are you protecting, I'm here well, you guys hurry up and put out the fire!"

Liu Ping was stunned for a moment, only listening to the order and leading the guards to run towards the forbidden area.

Ziyuan led Ye Lingxi out of the forbidden area, dodged and hid behind the rockery of the National Temple, and hurriedly stripped off her armor.

"Your Highness, the little one is leaving first." Ziyuan looked at the busy crowd behind the rockery, if she didn't run now, when would she wait?

"Slow down." Ye Lingxi called Ziyuan suddenly, and suddenly reached out to take out the blood-stained sweat towel from Ziyuan's arms, "Leave this, you can go first."

"Princess, you..." Ziyuan blushed, and suddenly realized that Princess Chushan had... hit her chest!

"I will look for you in the future." Ye Lingxi nodded confidently, put away the sweat towel, "Hurry up and leave? Aren't you afraid that your sister will worry about you?"

Ziyuan came back to her senses, thinking that she had an agreement with her sister and Miss A Ling before, and now that Croton has made a plan, her sister and Miss A Ling must mix in here.

The world is impermanent, and the original plan has changed now. If sister and Miss A Ling were not stopped earlier, they would come to kidnap one or two members of the royal family, and the matter would become more and more complicated.

"Help me put away the sweat towel..." Ziyuan confessed seriously, seeing the opportunity, mingled with the crowd, slipped to the corner of the wall, jumped onto the wall, and jumped out of the temple.

Ye Lingxi stared blankly at the sweat towel in her hand, frowned slightly, her eyes were filled with undercurrents, the only thing she could clearly see was the faint sense of loss, perhaps a loss that Ye Lingxi herself had never noticed.

"Boom--!"

The bell of the National Temple rang suddenly, perhaps to warn the guards of the National Temple that the National Temple is not peaceful today, but Ye Lingxi was shocked and came back to his senses.

She should also leave here, she should go back to the Buddhist monastery where the harem women should go, and freshen up.Thinking of this, Ye Lingxi put away the sweat towel and walked towards the Zen courtyard.

"Princess Chushan?" Liu Ping's sharp eyes saw Princess Chushan's back from a distance, and a doubt arose in his heart—why did the princess appear here with disheveled clothes?

"Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"

But before Liu Ping had time to think about it, he was brought back to reality by the shout of Emperor Yunhui who rushed here, and hurriedly directed his men to put out the fire.

Ziyuan ran along the periphery of the National Temple to the gate of the National Temple, and the bell of the National Temple rang, as if a stone had been thrown into her rippling heart lake, making her messy heart lake even more chaotic and chaotic. .

Princess Chushan...Ye Lingxi...

The corner of Ziyuan's mouth raised slightly, thinking of this beauty, she couldn't help but feel a slight pang in her heart, what exactly is this feeling?Ziyuan couldn't figure it out, and she didn't want to think about it too much. She only knew that from today onwards, there was bound to be some bond between her and Princess Chushan, for a while?Or I?Difficult to untie.
