"Eunuch Zhang, send someone to investigate why the Kunning Palace is flooded," Mu Shaohong said suddenly when he stepped into the inner hall door.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the fire in the Kunning Palace has long been extinguished, and the guards have already gone to investigate, but the Kunning Palace is probably gone..." Eunuch Zhang's old face expressed regret.

"It's gone, it's gone, but the result of this investigation should make the queen mother not so sad," Mu Shaohong pointed out.

Eunuch Zhang was taken aback, and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, this old slave knows."

"Well, let's go in and see how my mother is doing?" Mu Shaohong walked in briskly.

The two walked into the inner hall one after the other.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." When the imperial doctors saw Mu Shaohong, they immediately knelt down and were about to salute.

"Excuse me, excuse me, what's the matter with the Queen Mother?" Mu Shaohong raised his hand to the leading imperial doctor with an anxious face, and asked hastily.

The imperial physicians stood on both sides and made way, facing the bed with the silk curtain down. Mu Shaohong walked to the edge of the collapse, and vaguely saw that the Empress Dowager on the collapse was wrapped in cloth gauze.

"Back to the emperor, the empress dowager is blessed and safe, the auspicious person has his own heaven, and his body is fine, but he stayed in the fire for too long and passed out temporarily, and he will not wake up until tomorrow." The old imperial doctor in charge said respectfully.

Mu Shaohong couldn't see whether it was surprise or disappointment on his face, he just nodded, "The queen mother's face?"

The old imperial doctor hesitated to speak, and finally knelt down, "The Empress Dowager's face was burned by the fire. Although the area was not large, the burn was too severe. I am afraid it will leave a scar... But if it is properly cared for, maybe It is also able to fade scars so that they are less noticeable.”

"Well, I get it, you must restore the Queen Mother's body to its original state, and leave half of the imperial doctors to take care of the Queen Mother's body in Xuanqing Palace from today on." Mu Shaohong said calmly and in a calm tone.

"Yes." The imperial physicians all responded.

"When will the Empress Dowager wake up at the latest?" Mu Shaohong turned around and looked at the Empress Dowager Mu in the silk tent.

"Tomorrow's hour."

"Well, Eunuch Zhang, let's go back first. The Queen Mother wakes up tomorrow and tells someone to tell me." Mu Shaohong turned around and left without hesitation.

"I will send you off to the emperor respectfully."

When Mu Shaohong came out of the palace, Yi Yunqu hadn't left yet, standing alone in the night wind waiting for him. At the gate of the brightly lit palace, there was just a smiling man standing there looking at him. with him.

Mu Shaohong was taken aback, "Why haven't you left yet? Where are the remaining ministers?"

"Those people have all been sent back, saying that the Empress Dowager is fine, and her self-cultivation needs to be purified," Yi Yunqu raised his head with his hands behind his back and smiled slightly, looking at the people who were still standing on the stone steps.

"Then why don't you leave? Are you waiting for me here?" Mu Shaohong stepped down the stairs, feeling unreasonably happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Yi Yunqu smiled, "Isn't this waiting for the emperor to come out? It's not easy to walk in the dark."

He figured it out, for such a little emperor, even if he likes the ion abyss, he can't let it go easily, he will pester him with shamelessness.

It was not Yi Yunqu's style to be timid.

"I'm such a big man, and I can walk back to the palace in the dark, is it unnecessary for Mr. Yi?" Mu Shaohong glanced at him, his tone was cold, and after he walked down the steps and passed him, there was an unconscious expression on his face. A smile overflowed.

Hearing this, Yi Yunqu didn't feel chilled in his heart, but instead smiled. The little emperor likes to talk ironically when he is happy.

In fact, Mu Shaohong is the same as when he was a child!

Yi Yunqu stood on the spot and thought of Mu Shaohong when he was a child.

Mu Shaohong, who walked a few steps forward, found that there was nothing behind him, and suddenly stopped, and looked back, "Yi Yunqu, aren't you afraid that the dark road will be difficult for you? Why don't you follow?"

"Here we come," Yi Yunqu's thoughts were interrupted at once, and he hurriedly followed with strides, maintaining a distance of one and a half steps from Mu Shaohong.

The two figures elongated by the moonlight projected by a full moon slowly intersect and overlap like two parallel lines.

The moonlight was cold and the atmosphere was peaceful.

An hour later, in Xuanqing Palace, Empress Dowager Mu woke up slowly on a bed that was obviously much simpler than Kunning Palace.

"Green Bamboo!" Empress Dowager Mu's unpainted face suddenly showed her age, and a panicked voice suddenly sounded!

The burning pain on his face reminded him of what just happened in Kunning Palace.

"Empress Dowager, the green bamboo is here, the green bamboo is here," the beautiful green bamboo dressed as a palace maid hurriedly trotted in from outside the palace.

Empress Dowager Mu supported the bed weakly and sat up, "Which palace is this?"

Green Bamboo lifted the silk curtain and went to help Mrs. Mu up.

"Back to the queen mother, this is Xuanqing Palace. Fortunately, the queen mother has woken up now, she really scared the slaves."

The Queen Mother's eyes changed, Xuanqing Palace!

The side hall where he lived when he was a concubine!

The face that was so cold that it could almost freeze made Lu Zhu's face turn pale, and he said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, the situation was urgent just now, and you were unconscious when you were rescued from the fire, so you were helped to the nearest Xuanqing Palace Come, let the imperial doctor come to diagnose and treat... Kunning Palace has been burned..."

Lu Zhu stopped talking at this point, and the rest of the words were naturally understood by Queen Mother Mu.

"Where's the Empress Dowager Shu in the underground palace?!" Empress Dowager Mu suddenly spoke out after a moment of silence, her wrinkled hands suddenly grabbed Luzhu's wrist tightly, and screamed.

A monstrous fire burned down the Kunning Palace, so naturally...

"Empress Dowager, the underground palace is closed, a big fire did not burn inside, but when the slaves went to look at it at night, there was already a corpse inside." Lu Zhu lowered her head and said in fear.

Empress Dowager Mu grabbed her hand even harder, like old tree vines entangled people, making people afraid and painful.

"Hiss..." Luzhu didn't dare to make a sound, but the hand holding her was getting stronger and stronger, so she couldn't help but take a low breath.

"Dead... actually died..." Empress Dowager Mu let go of her hand, her expression was in a daze. She had been an enemy all her life, so she just died like this?

She didn't get a word out of what she wanted to get out of it?

Only Empress Dowager Mu and Lu Zhu knew about this underground palace, and Lu Zhu had been raised by her side since she was a child. Empress Dowager Mu had no suspicions at all, and Empress Dowager Shu was the only one who knew her identity, so no one would come to rescue her .

"No, I don't believe it!" Empress Dowager Mu suddenly opened the quilt and was about to get out of bed, and said sharply, "I want to see people, I want to see corpses, I want to see corpses!"

With a heartache on Lu Zhu's face, he hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, calm down and listen to Lu Zhu!"

Empress Dowager Mu stopped her movements suddenly, her sunken eyes suddenly became clear, "Say."

Empress Dowager Mu has become that deep, cruel old woman again.

Lu Zhu shook her body before saying: "When I sneak back to Kunning Palace tonight, I went to the underground palace to see. The Empress Dowager Shu is dead, but there are guards sent by the emperor to investigate the cause of the accident. Afraid, afraid of being found out, they dragged the Empress Dowager Shu to bury together with Xiao Dengzi..."

After finishing speaking, Empress Dowager Mu was speechless for a long time.

"Well done, green bamboo, well buried..." Empress Dowager Mu said with deep meaning, just smiled and nodded repeatedly, looking at the green bamboo with a bit of inquiry in her eyes.
