Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Although Prince An and Princess An may still be in Liuguang Pavilion, His Royal Highness Prince An is not involved in state affairs and is destined to die young, so he may have died by now.

As for Princess An.

If even the Marquis of Weiyuan didn't take her seriously, who would? If she died, she would be buried alive with Prince An. It was a case of deep love between husband and wife, a union of husband and wife.

But the third prince is different.

Anyone with eyes can see that the emperor has been placing great importance on the third prince recently, and this prince may have a bright future.

He knows how to choose.

He personally helped Chu Feici out, and then personally handed it to his trusted deputy commander, and asked someone to quickly call the imperial physician and inform the emperor. Only then did he turn around and enter the Liuguang Pavilion.

At this moment, in a room on the second floor on the west side of Liuguang Pavilion.

A man and a woman were extremely anxious.

No one knew how the fire started. Fortunately, the fire was not in this direction, but there was a lot of smoke and dust. When they realized something was wrong, they wanted to go downstairs, but the stairs had been blocked.

There were faint sounds coming from the room, sounds of embarrassment, anxiety, panic, and confusion!

"Your Highness, what should we do? There's such a big fire and so much smoke. I don't want to die. Wuuwuwu..."

"Don't make a fuss. If you don't want to die, do I want to die? Cough cough cough..."

"I, I don't want to quarrel, but I, I'm scared... ahem, we won't die here, will we?"

"Someone will come to save us! Cough cough cough cough..."

"You go over there and see if you can open the window. I'll look for another exit here."

"Your Highness, the windows are sealed shut and we can't get out!"

"Your Highness, I feel so uncomfortable. I feel like I can't breathe."

……

The two people's voices became lower and lower, and their coughs became heavier.

The voice was hoarse from the smoke and it was impossible to tell who it was.

Emperor Yongxi was about to return to his bedroom, but when he heard that Liuguang Pavilion was on fire and his two sons were inside, he came to the scene with Yushu. The Queen naturally heard about it as well and was rushing over.

After coming over, Emperor Yongxi saw Chu Feici, who was pale and weak, being supported by the deputy commander. He looked at the guards who were constantly delivering water to put out the fire. He asked in a deep voice, "Have all the people inside been rescued?"

The deputy commander quickly reported: "Miss Qi said that Prince An and Princess An are still inside. Commander Jiang has already rushed in."

Emperor Yongxi's expression was unhappy: "How long have you been in there?"

"Commander Jiang rushed back in after rescuing the Third Prince. It's been a quarter of an hour!"

"Quickly dispatch more people. We must rescue them no matter what!"

"Yes!"

The deputy commander turned around and shouted, "Quick, get the West Guard Battalion over here. We must put out the fire immediately!"

Emperor Yongxi looked at the smoke-filled Liuguang Pavilion with a frown on his face.

The Queen sighed softly, "Why did it have to be Prince An? He's already in poor health. How could he stand such thick smoke?"

Several ministers who were nearby also rushed over after hearing the news.

But seeing the fire, they didn't dare to rush in.

Who could have thought that such an accident would happen at a banquet in the palace?

Concubine Yang stumbled over, not caring if there were any other men present, and rushed in front of Chu Feici: "Ah Ci, how are you?"

Chu Feici was speechless, his body stiff. If the deputy commander hadn't held him up, he wouldn't have been able to stand, and naturally, couldn't respond to his mother's questions. Concubine Yang was instantly overwhelmed with grief, and while crying, she grabbed him and wanted to check if he was injured.

Emperor Yongxi said in a deep voice: "Don't make a fuss! Help him to the side!"

The deputy commander helped the man aside. Concubine Yang hugged Chu Feici and burst into tears, but she didn't dare to cry out loud.

With the Imperial Guards' intensified efforts to put out the fire, it was finally put out. At this time, Commander Jiang also rushed to the second floor.

Walking up the wooden stairs, several pieces of which had been burned, he shouted, "Your Highness, come down quickly!"

In the lingering smoke, the two men walked out hand in hand. Seeing that, Commander Jiang's pupils shrank, and he quickly avoided their gaze and took a half step back.

Emperor Yongxi stared intently at the Liuguang Pavilion and saw two people stumbling out hand in hand.

"Father, Father, Mother!" A frightened voice came over.

The queen was horrified: "Yan'er, is it you?"

The man and woman who walked down were not Prince An and Princess An, but the Sixth Prince Chu Yunyan and Yan Xueqi.

In full view of the crowd, the two men were in dishevel.

But it was obvious that the dishevelled state of the clothes was not caused by the fire.

Pairs of eyes fell on them.

After worrying about whether Chu Yunyan was injured, the queen came to her senses in an instant and winked at the nanny beside her.

The nanny hurried over to pull Yan Xueqi.

But so many eyes saw it all.

The virtuous concubine spoke first: "Isn't this the second young lady of the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion? Is the second young lady Yan not injured?"

Concubine Qin's voice came: "Why is Miss Yan Er here with the Sixth Prince?"

Everyone was silent, with different expressions on their faces!

Chu Yunyan's face didn't look good either.

He had no idea that he would suddenly become interested after just a few moments of tenderness with Yan Xueqi who came to him.

I also specially chose the second floor of Liuguang Pavilion.

There was clearly no one here, so why did a fire suddenly break out when they were doing something?

Now, even if I want to hide it, I can’t.

Although both of them were dressed, everyone could see what had happened between him and Yan Xueqi. Isn't it obvious why he appeared here?

But no one said anything, and Concubine Qin exposed the matter in public.

The queen glanced at her coldly.

But Concubine Qin seemed to have given up, and spoke even more carelessly: "The scenery of Liuguang Pavilion is not that good. Why are the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan the Second here? The Third Prince is here too. What are they all doing in there?"

The direction of this statement is too obvious.

Chu Feici and Concubine Yang heard everything from the other side. She shouted coldly, "Princess Qin, shut up! We know the only way to get to the Imperial Garden. Isn't it normal to rest in the pavilion when you're tired? The Third and Sixth Princes are close brothers, so why not rest here together?"

"Oh~~" Qin Pin drawled out her voice: "Brothers are so close? Together? They are really so close," she said meaningfully, and glanced at Yan Xueqi again, her sarcasm was too obvious.

The Queen's face darkened.

Everyone knew what Qinpin meant by her sarcastic tone, but she didn't say it out loud.

The Queen looked at Concubine Qin coldly. When she was still a noble concubine, the two of them fought openly and secretly, and often tried to trip each other up.

But the Second Prince has now arrived at his fiefdom, her family has fallen into decline, her father, Grand Tutor Qin, has retired and returned to his hometown, and even she herself has been demoted to a concubine. Unexpectedly, he still dares to make trouble here!

Concubine Qin was not afraid at all.

She chuckled coldly, "Empress, what are you looking at me with? You can't possibly say a word to me, right? Since that's the case, I'll just say nothing. However, even if I don't, everyone here can see that you, as the head of the harem, have always acted with fairness and generosity. So, what are you going to do with this Second Miss Yan?"
