You are back

Chapter 129 Fire
Empress Wu held the second prince's hand and talked to him as she walked. What kind of palace is this, what kind of Bodhisattva is it worshiping, and what is over there? She walked very slowly, and everyone gathered around to follow her, also walking slowly.

As Li Yan walked, he looked around. As the No.1 temple in the capital, the White Horse Temple was a bit amazed by its magnificence and magnificence.

After turning around the last level of the Buddhist hall, a tall wooden tower stood next to a flat bluestone platform. Strings of brass wind chimes hung on the corners of the tower, tinkling in the wind.

Li Yan looked straight at the wooden tower. Under the bright sunlight, the tower was gloomy and frightening.

Ms. Shao Qi pulled Li Yan who stopped, "It's this pagoda! Eleventh sister told me several times that you can see the whole White Horse Temple from the pagoda, and that you can look over there. Summer is a sea of ​​flowers, and autumn leaves are yellow and red. You can’t draw beautiful paintings. In winter, it’s snow scenes, like the most beautiful landscape paintings! Sister, we must go to the highest floor to see!”

Li Yan was dragged by Ms. Shao Qi, a dozen steps away from the wooden tower, Li Yan was almost breathless under the chill and fear from the tower, "I don't want to go, I'm afraid of heights...you don't want to go either. ..."

Li Yan was pulled a few steps closer by Miss Shao Qi and stepped into the shadow cast by the wooden tower. Li Yan stared straight at the wooden tower. In the fire in front of his eyes, burning, painful and twisted people fell one by one from the top. down.

"You don't want to go either!" Li Yan yelled in a sharp and fearful voice, grabbed Miss Shao Qi, pulled her back with force, and led the second prince. Empress Wu, who had already stepped into the tower gate with one foot, turned around abruptly. , looking straight at Li Yan, Li Yan held Miss Shao Qi tightly, and took another step back, "Don't go in either... this tower... let people go in and see, there are snakes... maybe... "

Li Yan's throat was dry, and he retreated into the sun. There was no fire in front of his eyes. The pagoda was still the same pagoda, bathed in the warm winter sun, with copper bells jingling, distant and peaceful.

Empress Wu stared at Li Yan with serious eyes, and ordered in a cold voice: "Go to two people and take a closer look."

"Yes." The two women agreed, and entered the tower sideways. Empress Wu took the second prince, took two steps back, and then took a few steps back. She raised her head, and the two women leaned out from the second floor, indicating that they are here It's okay, Empress Wu took a few steps back, and saw that the two women had just poked their heads out from the third floor. Miss Wu Jiu, who was standing next to Empress Wu, suddenly let out a horrified scream, and a burst of flames shot straight from the bottom of the tower. And rise.

Li Yan's boss looked straight at the raging flames that rushed up in the blink of an eye, and the two women who were trapped on the third floor, screaming in terror.

"Jump! Jump!" Li Yan screamed at the two women. The voice came from her, but it sounded very far away, as if it was her voice from another world, coming through the air.

"Let's go, sister..." Miss Shaoqi held Li Yan tightly, crying loudly in horror. The jade tree, like an arrow piercing the clouds, passed the crowd and rushed straight to Li Yan, holding her with one hand, and the other Grabbing Miss Shao Qi with one hand, she walked across the bluestone platform and retreated to a safe place away from the fire.

Li Yan held Yushu's hand tightly, and Yushu was by her side, which made her feel more at ease.

"Show her to me!" Empress Wu pointed at Li Yan, clenching her teeth and commanding the guards who had rushed over to protect her.

Miss Shao Qi couldn't react in a daze. She just looked at Empress Wu in a daze. She heard the order, but didn't know what it meant.

"Go to your elder brother." Li Yan peeled off Miss Shao Qi's hand forcefully, and pushed her.

"Ming Dang." Shao Cong, Shao Yu and others had already rushed over. Shao Yu stepped forward and pulled Miss Shao Qi, facing the guards who had already surrounded him, he looked at Li Yan hesitantly.

Li Yan lowered his head, looking at the few traces of silt on his wrist that Miss Shao Qi had grabbed.

How did she know that the wooden tower was going to catch fire?She didn't know it herself. She only saw the fire, but why didn't she see that she was being led into a catastrophe by the fire?
"What's going on?" Pei Qing passed Shao Yu and all the guards, and put his hand on Li Yan's shoulder, his voice was low and steady, as if he was talking gossip.

The hand on Pei Qing's shoulder and the steady voice made Li Yan breathe a sigh of relief. "Before the fire started, I saw the fire." Li Yan looked up at Pei Qing, and then moved his eyes to Xiongxiong's burning wooden tower.

A strange look flashed in Pei Qing's eyes, and he looked down at Li Yan, "I understand, don't worry, nothing will happen." After saying that, Pei Qing took two steps back and bowed to Empress Wu, "Mother, Li Da The young lady has an old illness, and she has been able to survive thanks to the care of this girl since she was a child. There is something very fishy about this matter. Miss Li must first be safe and sound, and please allow this girl to accompany you."

"Don't worry, she saved our mother's life anyway." Empress Wu nodded in agreement, turned her head, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at the frowning Princess Yongle who looked angry and confused.

By chance, she and her son were unscathed, this is the destiny!
A little far away from the crowd, Li Ruo stood straight, her face pale. How did she know about the fire?what did she doShe really came here for revenge, she wanted to kill the Li family...

The fire at the White Horse Temple, under the gaze of everyone, from the hustle and bustle of the heroes to the pile of ashes, the capital, which was at least superficially quiet and festive, was full of noise and chaos.

Li Yan was tightly wrapped in the cloak, leaning against the Yushu in a somewhat drowsy state, swaying back and forth with the bumps of the car.

The car was surrounded by guards, followed the cars of Empress Wu and the second prince, entered the city gate, and entered the palace gate. Empress Wu's car stopped, and Li Yan's car stopped. Yushu supported Li Yan When he got down, he was escorted by several Kong Wu's wives, and followed Empress Wu into the luxurious hall of Empress Wu.

"Come on, who is going to burn our mother and daughter to death?" Empress Wu stretched her arms and asked Li Yan coldly while letting the maids take off their cloaks, long coats and skirts.

The warmth in the hall was like spring, and Li Yan gradually regained his vitality.

"I don't know." Li Yan shook her head, how could she know?
"How do you know that the pagoda was tampered with?" Empress Wu took off her big clothes, sat cross-legged on the edge of the Kang, and was washed by the maid.

"I didn't know that the tower had hands and feet." Li Yan thought of Zhou Rui's confession, if Empress Wu believed that she really just saw the fire before that fire, I'm afraid she would never get out again, what a living body detector!

"Then what do you know? You have to tell me, how did you know there was going to be a fire?" Empress Wu rinsed her mouth and asked again with sarcasm.

Li Yan hung her head and didn't answer, she didn't know anything, how she knew there was going to be a fire, she didn't want to say.
