My Lady is well

The fire in Luhua Pavilion was raging, and the red flames lit up half the sky. The fire was like crazy, devouring everything.

The sound of hurried footsteps followed one after another.

“Hurry…hurry up…”

"Water...go get some water."

"It seems Shen Cainv is still inside."

“The fire was too big to get in.”

"..."

When Jiang Ye and a team of guards followed the emperor and hurried to Yingxiu Palace, Aunt Shang thought she was dazzled.

The emperor actually came in person?

He immediately led a group of concubines forward to pay their respects, but he ignored them and rushed straight towards the direction of the fire.

The fire was so big that no one could enter Luhua Pavilion. When Jing Ruzhang arrived, he heard muffled noises mixed with piercing sounds that broke through the air, and saw debris flying everywhere in the house from afar.

His brows were furrowed and his body was tense, as if something was hitting his heart hard, and his fingertips were curled into fists.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his cold gaze was filled with murderous intent. He shot at Aunt Shang who had followed him, and asked in a solemn voice.

"Where is Shen Cainu?"

Even though Aunt Shang had seen big scenes before, she was still frightened by the emperor's anger. Her body trembled, her legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground with her head down.

"...Shen...Shen Cainv is...inside."

Jing Ruzhang clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his usually cold eyes were filled with obvious panic.

Despite the treacherous situation and conspiracy in the court, he could remain calm and composed, arrogant and tolerant. He had already built a high wall in his heart to keep out all the noise that would hinder his calmness. But now there was a crack in the wall.

He was confused and walked forward unconsciously.

Jiang Ye and Luo Zhong stood in front of him at the same time, and Luo Zhong persuaded him anxiously in a gentle voice.

"Your Majesty, you can't go there. It's too dangerous."

Jiang Ye had never seen him so anxious. What kind of storms and waves had His Majesty not experienced?

When he was trapped in the bedroom and there was fire everywhere, he didn't show any panic.

now......

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country. If you injure the dragon's body, I cannot bear the responsibility."

Jing Ruzhang seemed not to have heard a word. He just wanted to rush in and rescue the people, so he gave the order in a cold voice.

"Step aside!"

The two men knelt down at the same time, and Luo Zhong kowtowed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, you can't go over there..."

"Your Majesty, the country is more important than anything else. I hope you will reconsider."

Li Ning also arrived soon after and glanced at the person kneeling on the ground.

"Where is Shen Cainu?"

Jiang Ye lowered his head and said nothing.

Luo Zhong was desperate and tried every possible means to find a cure, so he said hurriedly.

"Empress Li, please persuade the emperor. He insists on going."

Li Ning was startled: "Shen Yueyao is in there?"

She took two steps forward, and Jiang Ye stood up and embraced her. He frowned and said seriously.

"It's dangerous, no one can get in."

Suddenly there was a loud explosion, and the entire Luhua Pavilion collapsed in an instant.

......

The cold moon was like water, and the north wind was like a knife, blowing on Shen Yueyao's thin body.

She was dressed like a palace maid, and the heart in her chest was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to burst out. She wiped the sweat from her palms with her sleeve and suppressed her panic.

I thought to myself that as long as I could avoid the inspection of the guards at Xuanwu Gate, I would be able to get out smoothly.

At this time, all other palace gates have been locked, only this one is locked two hours later than other palace gates because it is convenient for ministers with important matters.

She walked over with her head lowered, but the guard stopped her and spoke in a gruff voice.

"Stop! Which palace are you from?"

Shen Yueyao whispered softly: "I am from Yingxiu Palace."

"what is it call?"

Shen Yueyao handed over the badge: "My name is Bi'er."

The guard took the badge, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he continued.

"What are you doing out there?"

"Aunt Shang asked me to go out of the palace to do something."

"The palace gates will be locked soon. It's so late now. If you have something to do, we'll do it tomorrow. We won't wait for you to come back."

Another guard looked at her carefully and saw that she had cloud-like hair and a slender waist. Although it was night, the moonlight shining on her porcelain-white face made it look as if it was coated with a layer of pearlescent light. His heart was warmed by the sight.

I heard her soft and tender voice again, and I didn't know what was going on in her mind, but her voice suddenly softened a little, and there was an obscene smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Yingxiu Palace? I've rarely seen the maids of Yingxiu Palace before. What are you doing outside the palace?"

Hearing his greasy voice, Shen Yueyao frowned inwardly, but had to deal with him on the surface.

"Aunt Shang told me not to say anything. These are all things that the nobles above told me to do. I dare not say anything. Please let me go and do my job. If I fail, I will be punished."

Shen Yueyao pretended to raise her sleeves and pinch her eyes, making a pitiful expression.

The guard at the side was unmoved, while the other one looked at it with disgust and felt itchy.

"Oh, my sister, why is she crying? Who would be willing to punish such a pretty girl like her?"

After saying that, he actually reached out and grabbed her slender hand that was resting on her waist.

Suddenly, she was intercepted by a pair of white hands in mid-air. Shen Yueyao did not look up. From her point of view, she could only see the corner of a green robe, like a eunuch.

I just heard him laughing cheerfully.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Wu? Is it Brother Wu's turn to be on duty today?"

Shen Yueyao felt that his voice was very familiar, so she raised her head an inch to look at him.

She was startled and her eyes were slightly stunned. It was Li Shun.

He took out two silver bars from his pocket, put them in his hands, glanced at Shen Yueyao and smiled.

"I know this maid. She has someone protecting her. Brother Wu, please don't get yourself into trouble."

The interpersonal relationships in the palace were complicated and intricate. After hearing this, the guard dared not act rashly. He glanced at Shen Yueyao unwillingly and said with annoyance.

"I know, I know. Are you going out again?"

"You know, our line of work is hard work."

He waved his hand and said, "Go, go."

"Hey, okay, let's drink together some other day."

Li Shun glanced at Shen Yueyao and said softly, "Let's go."

They were about to leave the palace when they suddenly heard a guard beside them say.

"Master Chen, we are here. You two should stand aside."

Shen Yueyao's heart tightened. What kind of day is today? She met familiar people everywhere she went out.

She quickly lowered her head and hid her face in the shadow where the moonlight could not reach.

Lord Chen sighed drowsily, and when he passed by Shen Yueyao, he stopped. He couldn't see her clearly, and felt depressed.

He was talking to her, but it didn't seem like he was talking to her.

"Beauty is a disaster! She is full of twisted theories and heresies. I think His Majesty will be bewitched by her sooner or later. She is a disaster! Oh!"

After saying this, he staggered out of the palace.

Shen Yueyao blinked twice. She felt indescribable when someone said to her face that she was a beauty who bewitched the emperor.

Lord Chen probably didn't expect that he was sighing to himself.

Seeing him staggering away as if he was drunk, Shen Yueyao shook her head inwardly and followed Li Shun out of the palace.
