The Young Emperor and the Fearless

Chapter 178 Ling Yang (26)

"Concubine Wen, be careful!"

While the servant was exclaiming, Heli suddenly rushed forward, moving the torch in front of Wen Jinxuan, and when he was about to meet someone, he turned a corner and threw the torch at the foot of the screaming servant.

The servant took two steps back, jumped and extinguished the sparks on the trouser legs.

"Brother Heli..." Wen Jinxuan said in surprise.

The next moment, He Li passed her, bent down, and picked up the torch.

The servants stepped back a few steps in an instant.

Behind them, the smoke from the kitchen was getting bigger and bigger, and the fire was burning higher and higher.The servants were fighting the fire with buckets, but He Li pointed them at them with torches, and no one dared to move.

Wen Jinxuan kept looking at He Li's dull eyes, couldn't help it, and called out again: "Brother He Li..."

This time, He Liyanzhu turned his eyes and stared at Wen Jinxuan as if he were a prey.Wen Jinxuan's scalp felt a little numb, and she couldn't help but take a half step back.

The servant said: "Miss Concubine Wen, it's dangerous here, hurry up and go."

Wen Jinxuan shook her head: "Hurry up and find a way to restrain..."

He Li didn't leave them any time to discuss, and took advantage of the fire in the kitchen to approach them step by step with a torch.

The person closest to He Li was the first to suffer. He was grabbed and pushed into the kitchen before he could break free.The man's clothes were on fire, and he ran out rolling and crawling, rolling on the ground screaming.

Later, another person also got the same end.

The servants were afraid of He Li, and guarded against the torch in his hand. Slowly, they retreated to the door of the kitchen.

But Wen Jinxuan stood where she was, and when He Li approached, she didn't run away.

Wen Jinxuan said with a glimmer of hope: "Brother Heli, you won't hurt me, will you?"

He Li remained silent.

At this time, there was a bang suddenly, and the kitchen room collapsed.Countless sparks and dust particles splashed and fell on everyone.Ashes scattered all over the sky, blurring the entire field of vision.

After a cup of tea, the ashes gradually dissipated, and when people could see things again, they suddenly cried out in shock.

Wen Jinxuan was the closest to the kitchen, and there was no one in sight at the moment.

She was buried!

"Concubine Wen..."

The servants wanted to save people, but suddenly a flame burst out, engulfing the place where Wen Jinxuan was standing just now.

But no matter how big the fire was, they couldn't just sit and watch something happen to the princess.

The servants gritted their teeth, soaked themselves in water, wrapped their hands in wet cloths, and rushed into the raging fire.

After a while, they carried Wen Jinxuan and He Li out of the flames at the same time.

There were countless sparks on Wen Jinxuan's body, and after being extinguished by the servants, it was also a mess, her face was ashes, and she completely lost her usual delicate appearance.Her eyes were closed tightly, her hands were clasped weakly, and she was already unconscious.

As for He Li, the injury was not too serious, he fell into a coma for a moment, and soon regained consciousness.Under the witness of the servants, Heli stood up, and vigorously patted off the sparks on his body.

However, his eyes were still dull and indifferent, as if he had no emotion at all.

"Brother Heli..."

Suddenly, Wen Jinxuan woke up leisurely, looked at He Li's back, and cried out weakly.

He Li lowered his head, took a deep look at her, and then took two steps in her direction.At the same time, the servant standing next to Wen Jinxuan stepped aside nervously.

But Heli didn't run after Wen Jinxuan, he just walked past Wen Jinxuan, bent down, and picked up a burning torch.

Wen Jinxuan felt pain all over her body, her eyes were watery, she asked persistently, "Brother He Li, what's wrong with you?"

Holding the torch, He Li stopped looking at Wen Jinxuan and walked out.

Wen Jinxuan took out the purse embroidered with tigers from her bosom. It had been burnt beyond recognition, and she could only see that it was a piece of torn cloth. She did not give up and said, "You want a tiger, so I embroidered one for you. It's a pity that a purse is not like a purse, and a tiger is no longer like a tiger. Brother He Li, do you want more?"

She wanted Heli to give her a response, even if it was a normal look.But Heli only left her an indifferent back, and walked away without looking back.

Wen Jinxuan gave a wry smile, and the hand holding the purse dropped feebly.

The servant said: "Concubine Wen, leave quickly, the fire here is too big."

"I can't walk anymore." Wen Jinxuan shook her head and said, "I can't feel my legs, and I can't stand up."

**

He Li was found by Meng Qing in the front yard of the Prince's Mansion, standing with arms crossed, ruthless.This appearance is extremely eye-catching in the crowd.

Before He Yi ran to find Wen Jinxuan, he turned his head and met He Li's eyes.He Li's eyes at that time, six years later, he still can't forget.

As soon as He Yi left, He Li moved his feet and was about to follow.

Meng Qing stopped in front of him and said, "He Li, go back."

How could he listen to him if he didn't recognize his six relatives.He threw the torch on Meng Qing, and while Meng Qing was dodging, he slipped over to He Yi.

Meng Qing gritted her teeth and hurried after her.

The fire was raging in the kitchen, and Wen Jinxuan had already been carried out by the servants. He Yi stepped forward and hugged Wen Jinxuan, and the servants beside him said, "Go over there."

The fire spread everywhere, and it was almost too late to put out the fire, so they could only evacuate the Prince's Mansion first.

However, at the entrance of a corridor, He Yi and the others were blocked by He Li.

He Yi said: "He Li, what do you want to do?"

At this moment, He Li picked up a few pieces of burning wood from nowhere in his hands, and he squeezed them abruptly, his fingers were burnt red, but he didn't care at all.

Wen Jinxuan lowered her eyes, hooked He Yi's neck, and couldn't bear to see He Li like this.

He Li raised his head slightly, looked at the flames flying wantonly in the wind above their heads, took a step back slowly, and threw the wood in his hand towards their heads.

He Yi saw through his intention and shouted: "Stay away."

It may be too late.

Only a few clicks were heard, and the wooden beam, which was already very fragile by the fire, collapsed under the external force.

"Harmony!"

When Meng Qing arrived, He Li was also hit, his chest was pressed by a piece of wood, and he passed out.

"Master Meng." Meng Qing's confidant finally arrived and asked, "This is..."

Meng Qing clenched her fists tightly, looking at the sea of ​​flames in front of her, and He Yi and others disappeared into it. His lips trembled slightly, and he was afraid to accept the reality in front of him, but he had to think of a countermeasure quickly.

If this matter gets out, it may be detrimental to Heli.

However, He Yi...

Meng Qing closed her eyes, struggled in her heart for a while, and then said: "Bring He Li back to the palace, remember to be careful, and there will be no more trouble."

The fire in the Prince's Mansion burned for a whole day and night, and Meng Qing kept watch all day and night.

The last bit of flame was extinguished, and Meng Qing immediately summoned the surviving servants of the Prince's residence together.With a haggard face, he braced himself up and asked in a voice like a bell: "What caused the fire this time?"

The servants looked at each other in blank dismay, silent.

When He Li was lighting the fire with a torch, most people saw it, but they were not sure of He Li's identity. Among them, there were very few people who had seen He Li. Looking at the picture, he guessed that it might be His Royal Highness and Li.

The instigator was Heli, so it spread.

However, the servants are not stupid, knowing that He Li is from Prime Minister Meng's side, naturally they dare not talk nonsense.

Meng Qing said: "If someone sees it, it's fine. However, if you don't say it, I'm afraid you will bear unimaginable consequences."

Only then did someone tremblingly say: "Master Meng, I... we think that person is your Highness."

Meng Qing said: "Are you sure?"

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't see it, but everyone said so."

Meng Qing snorted: "I came here when the Prince's Mansion was on fire. I happened to see it with my own eyes when the Prince's accident happened. It's true that His Royal Highness was at the scene, but he came to fight the fire."

Now that Prime Minister Meng has said so, how can the servants dare to speculate arbitrarily.The crown prince and princess were buried in the sea of ​​fire, and no one could be found, and no one stood up for them to make decisions. Therefore, regardless of whether they were right or wrong, they all agreed, "Yes, your highness is here to fight the fire."

However, just asking them to change their words, Meng Qing was still a little worried. Later, after the prince's funeral was over, he sent all the original servants of the prince's mansion back to their homeland, spent some money on them, and told them not to talk nonsense .

The servants who left the capital were just low-level ordinary people. Apart from bragging about their experiences in the Prince's Mansion, they could not attract the attention of others.

Meng Qing announced to the world that the fire in the Prince's Mansion started for no reason, and it was the negligence of the subordinates to investigate the cause.

In the external declaration, He Li was not mentioned at all.
