Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

"Royal Concubine, how old are you now..."

Seeing Yan Wan's face becoming more beautiful than before, the emperor could not help but raise his hand and touch her cheek.

"I am already thirty-six years old. I have been serving the Emperor for more than eighteen years. In the blink of an eye, I am already the mother of two children."

She lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. Over the years, Yanwan's patience has improved.

"Thirty-six. I am now fifty-two. I wonder how many more years I can remain emperor..."

A trace of disappointment crossed the emperor's heart. It was time for him to consider the successor to the throne, but... he couldn't bear to do it.

At a certain moment, he inadvertently glanced at the golden dragon throne in the hall, with a morbid obsession in his eyes.

He has been in this position for nearly thirty years, and he is reluctant to give up the power in his hands.

"What is your Majesty talking about? You are in good health now. Not to mention twenty-eight years, even another twenty-eight years would be no problem."

Yanwan told the truth.

After all, this old guy really lived a long time in his previous life.

Even if Yongqi lived to that time, he might not be able to see the moment of his ascension.

"Maybe I'm tired from managing state affairs recently. Please give me a massage. It seems like I haven't rested in your arms for a long time..."

After listening to Yan Wan's advice, the emperor's mood did not improve. He just turned over and lay on the small couch, resting his head on Yan Wan's legs.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself during this autumn hunt. The wind is strong on the grassland, so don't catch a cold. Let the children go and compete. Even if you can't hunt wolves or the finest cloud foxes, Your Majesty is still the best father. I just want Your Majesty to be well..."

She took off her armor, placed her hand gently on his forehead, and murmured in his ear.

Listening to her nagging, the emperor did not feel annoyed, but laughed instead.

"You were just saying I was strong, but now you're telling me to be careful? Don't worry, let alone fifty, even if I were sixty, I could still hunt down a big black bear and use it as a mattress for you..."

He lay there leisurely, a rare moment of relaxation.

The two of them moved very familiarly, as if they were an old couple who had supported each other for many years.

"Okay, then I'll wait, waiting for the Emperor to hunt a big black bear for me. But the Emperor has stuffed too many furs into my palace over the years. No, I also want cloud fox fur. I want to make a big cloak to wear when I enjoy the snow."

"Okay, then I'll make one for you and Jingxuan. When winter comes, I'll take you to enjoy the snow..."

As the emperor spoke, his voice gradually became slower and slower, and soon he fell asleep with his head resting on Yanwan's legs. Soon, a light snoring sound could be heard.

After he fell asleep, Yan Wan asked the palace maid to bring a thin blanket to cover him, and then she carefully left and returned to the palace to continue taking care of the many affairs in the palace.

It was almost dusk when Yongqi and Yongyan arrived. After Yanwan left, the emperor slept until dinner time and was not woken up until then. After dinner, he fell into a deep sleep again.

Jinzhong was not on duty tonight, so he followed the young ladies and sent them back to their residences. He then served the emperor dinner and gave instructions to the palace servants on duty before returning to his own residence to rest.

However, he did not change into ordinary pajamas, but just stood in front of the window, waiting quietly.

Tonight is no ordinary night.

The emperor was afraid of the dark when he slept, so he would light candles in the palace.

Summer nights are hot, so it is necessary to open doors and windows for ventilation.

The summer wind was unpredictable, and a strong gust came and knocked down the candlestick in the distance.

The candle liquid flowed onto the table, and soon the flame climbed up the table.

The hall was built entirely of wood, but in just a few moments, the fire spread rapidly with the wind, and the air was already filled with the smell of burning wood.

"There's a fire! Help!"

Jinbao suddenly woke up when he heard faint screams outside.

But it was too late, the fire spread rapidly and the surrounding area was already a sea of ​​fire.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please wake up! There's a fire!"

He quickly woke the emperor up, overturned the basin of water beside him and poured it on the bed curtain, then pulled it down and used it to block in front of him.

"Ahem! What... is going on?!"

The emperor was choked by the thick smoke and couldn't speak. He only saw raging flames before him and felt despair in his heart.

Except for where he slept, the rest of the place was already a sea of ​​fire. The hall was filled with billowing black smoke, which made it impossible for him to open his eyes.

"Help! Come and help! The emperor is still inside, help!"

"Water leaked! Put out the fire quickly!"

There was a great deal of noise at the fire scene, and the emperor could vaguely hear shouting outside.

Jinbao draped the wet bed curtain over the two men and helped the emperor to a corner. Unable to get out, the two could only huddle in the corner and wait for rescue.

The emperor was trapped inside, and the palace servants acted quickly, taking buckets to fetch water from the nearby lake.

When Jin Zhongyi got the news, he rushed over in a hurry and grabbed a palace servant to ask about the situation.

"Why did the fire break out? Where is the Emperor?"

"Butler, the Emperor is still trapped inside!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire with your back water. Find a few strong guards and rush in to rescue the emperor. A team of people will follow me in front to pour water on the guards and clear the way! Hurry, hurry! If you are any slower, both your heads and mine will be gone!"

Jinzhong didn't even wear a hat. He stood in front of the fire and shouted orders. Under the heat wave, his face was covered with sweat.

As soon as there was a commotion in the emperor's bedroom, people from all directions got the news, and palace maids from all the palaces rushed there with buckets of water.

Yongqi had not fallen asleep yet, and when he heard the noise, he immediately rushed over with others.

"Eunuch Jinzhong, the Emperor! Has the Emperor come out?"

"My Lord, you are finally here! We wanted the guards to rush in to help, but the fire is too big and we can't get in!"

In just a few moments, Jinzhong's face was already mostly blackened by smoke.

boom--

The wooden structure could not withstand the fire, and one side of the hall had begun to collapse. The burning wood hit the ground, splashing countless sparks, and exploded on the ground like a tree of fire and silver flowers.

"It's too late. If we don't rush in now, I'm afraid the Emperor will..."

"You take the people to continue fighting the fire. Find a few people to rush in with me. Even if you don't want to go in, you have to pour water on the east side where the fire is smaller!"

"Okay! Slave... Slave will go right away!"

Jinzhong quickly ran to call for help. During this gap, Yongqi lifted a bucket of water and poured it directly over his head!

"Come with me!"

He spoke briefly and to the point, held the braid behind him in his mouth, took off his wet coat and used it in front of him as a barrier, and when the flames were smaller due to the water being poured on them, he was the first to rush into the fire scene!

Unable to enter through the main gate, he could only use his body to push open the crumbling wall of fire and rush in.

But that little bit of water was like a drop in the bucket. The guards following behind him rushed forward, but were all forced to retreat again and again by the heat wave. They had no way of getting in to save people.

"Jinzhong! Jinzhong! Your Majesty! How is the Emperor?"

When Yan Wan heard the news, she also rushed over in a hurry.

Hearing the cry, Jinzhong turned around and saw her running towards him in a hurry, so he quickly ran forward to support her.

"Your Majesty! How is Your Majesty?"

Yanwan grabbed Jinzhong's arm tightly, looked him up and down, and asked anxiously.

Jinzhong shook his head and said, "The fire is too big. The emperor is still trapped inside. The prince has already gone in to rescue him. I wonder how he is now..."

He raised his eyes to meet hers, and seeing the worry in her eyes, he shook his head slightly to indicate that he was fine.

"Hurry up and help. We must rescue the emperor for me!"

Only then did Yan Wan feel relieved and turned around to give instructions to the palace maid who followed her.

Jinzhong pretended to go back to continue his work, but was stopped by Yanwan.

"You must ensure the safety of the Emperor. If anything goes wrong with the Emperor, I will chop off your heads!"

She shouted anxiously.

Then, while everyone was busy putting out the fire, he whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"You must be careful of yourself..."

"I obey your orders... please rest assured, Master."

Jinzhong responded loudly, whispered the second half of the sentence, and then rushed to the front again.
