"Your Majesty... cough cough cough... Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me."

As soon as he rushed in, Yongqi was choked by the thick smoke and was speechless.

Although there was a fire, the thick smoke filled the house, making it impossible to open your eyes.

He stumbled and ran to the emperor.

"Lord Beile, you're finally here... cough cough cough... Let's go quickly... cough cough cough... If we don't leave now, it will be too late... cough cough..."

Jin was protecting the emperor and recognized Yongqi's voice.

"Huang's father, how is Huang's father?"

"Cough cough cough... cough cough, I'm fine. Yongqi, how's the fire? Can I still survive?"

The emperor coughed madly and looked at the raging fire in the hall, feeling despair.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! Now that I've been able to get in, I can definitely get you out! I'm even looking forward to going on the autumn hunt with you!"

Yongqi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the emperor was fine.

The emperor inhaled a lot of thick smoke and felt so weak that he didn't even have the strength to get up.

Looking at the two of them, Yongqi threw his coat to Jinbao.

"You lead the way, I'll take the Emperor out. Hurry! Can't hold on any longer? If we don't leave now, we'll all die here!"

Jinbao nodded and put on his wet coat.

At this time, Jinzhong also asked everyone to attack the areas where the fire was weak, and finally they opened a path.

"Your Majesty, Lord Beile, please come out quickly, the palace is about to collapse!"

He shouted anxiously.

"Come on!"

Yongqi helped the emperor up, letting most of his body lean on him, and the three of them bent down and rushed out together.

The smoke was light, mostly floating above, and one had to bend over to breathe. If one carried the emperor recklessly, one would probably be choked to death before one could even escape.

The pace of the entry was very fast. A lot of burning wood fell where Yongqi came in just now, and he knocked them away with brute force.

"Come out! Come out!"

Everyone was paying close attention to the situation inside, and when they saw Jinbao come out, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Yongqi followed closely behind, but just as he stepped out of the hall, he heard the sound of wood cracking above his head.

Without thinking, he almost subconsciously pushed the emperor forward.

As soon as the emperor jumped out, he was held tightly by Jinzhong who rushed to support him.

boom--

The beams of the entire hall collapsed, and the flying wood hit Yongqi squarely. He was knocked to the ground, and his legs were pinned by a beam.

"Yongqi!"

"Lord Baylor!"

There was a burst of exclamations at the scene.

The emperor cried out heart-wrenchingly.

"Go and save him! Save Yongqi, Your Majesty! Are you okay? I was so scared."

When Yan Wan saw the emperor coming out, she hurried forward to support him.

After looking carefully up and down, he looked in the direction of Yongqi.

Yongqi's legs were only pinned down, and everyone rushed to rescue him, but his legs were twisted in a strange posture. He was pale and had already fainted from the pain.

"Call the imperial physician! Go and call the imperial physician!"

"Your Majesty, please go to the side hall first. I have already sent for the imperial physician. I am sure that the prince will be able to turn the danger into safety."

Jinzhong found a cloak and draped it behind the emperor. He participated in the firefighting. At this time, his face was as black as the emperor's, but when he spoke, his two rows of white teeth were very eye-catching.

The emperor nodded and walked towards the side hall, supported by Jinzhong and Yanwan on his left and right.

After entering the hall, Yanwan hurriedly asked someone to fetch water, sat aside, wet a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the emperor's face. Jinzhong also helped find new clothes and boots, wiped his hands and feet, and helped him change clothes.

"Yongqi, I want to see Yongqi."

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has already gone to see Yongqi. He's unconscious now, so let's wait until he wakes up. I know you love Yongqi, but your own health is more important. Let the imperial physician come and see how you are first. You still have the final say on today's matter. I'm really scared."

Yanwan persuaded softly, and tears appeared in her eyes as she spoke.

Although she did not participate in the firefighting, her face was also stained with some carbon ash.

Seeing her so frightened, the emperor couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe off the black stain on her face.

"It's alright, I'm fine, Imperial Concubine, I'm fine..."

He repeated it twice, speaking to Yan Wan and also speaking to himself. The moment he touched her cheek, the emperor finally felt that he had survived a catastrophe.

He was extremely grateful to be alive.

It is inconvenient for the imperial physician to have others present while he is examining a patient.

The emperor had no choice but to follow Yan Wan's advice and asked another imperial physician to take the emperor's pulse.

"Your Majesty, regarding what the Imperial Noble Consort said, your body is fine. You simply inhaled a large amount of thick smoke. You may experience a cough and sore throat for the next few days. It's also possible that congestion in your lungs has caused a high fever. I will prescribe some medicine to soothe your heart, and then treat the symptoms. I still recommend that your Majesty drink some tranquilizing soup first. If you are too frightened, it will be more damaging to your body than any other external symptoms..."

Doctor Bao carefully felt the patient's pulse before replying cautiously.

It has only been a little over half an hour since the accident.

The emperor went to bed early today and fell into bed at the hour of Xu. It was only the hour of Zi now, and even though the sun rose early in the summer, it would take at least two hours before dawn.

"Your Majesty, please do as Doctor Bao says. You will go see Yongqi later. I will accompany you to sleep for a while. When the tranquilizing soup is ready, I will serve it to you."

The emperor nodded and waved his hand, saying, "You can leave first, Jinzhong? Where is Jinzhong?"

Hearing the emperor's call, Jinzhong hurried to the emperor.

He was ordered to check on Yongqi, but he was half a room away. He came as soon as he heard the call. He had already packed up and even asked someone to bring his hat from his residence. There was nothing wrong with his clothes except for the stains on them from fighting the fire.

"Your Majesty, this servant is here."

"How is Yongqi doing?"

"The doctors are watching. Everything else is fine, except for the leg, which was broken by the wood... and a lot of burns. The doctors are now discussing whether to set the bones first or treat the wound first..."

Jinzhong spoke in a slightly euphemistic way.

That was not an ordinary burn. There was basically no good flesh around the calf. If you wanted to set the bone, you might hurt the flesh on the leg. If you wanted to treat the injury, you could only put the bone aside first and wait for the skin and flesh to heal before breaking the bone and reconnecting it.

The burn was covered in dirt, sawdust, charcoal, and burnt clothing, which stuck tightly to the wound.

When the imperial physician used water to flush, Yongqi fainted from the pain several times.

He bit the cloth tightly to prevent himself from crying out.

Hearing this, the emperor felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Yongqi is his most outstanding son. If he becomes disabled in the future, how can he inherit his throne?

When Yan Wan heard this, her face turned pale. Seeing that the emperor remained silent, she pretended to be calm.

"Yongqi's leg must be safe. He's such an excellent rider and archer, and he's still in his prime. Nothing can happen to him. Quick! Call the imperial physician and explain everything in detail!"

After all, such a major matter ultimately has to be decided by the emperor.

Except for the imperial physician who cleaned the wound, all the other imperial physicians who jointly treated the patient came before the emperor.

"Speak, I can bear it."

The emperor sighed and instantly looked several years older.
