Di daughter is easy to marry: the stunning princess

Chapter 320
The small courtyard where Jin Xi lives is very old, and the wood used to build the house has long since dried out.I don't know where the fire started, but with a little spark, it became a prairie fire in the blink of an eye.Dozens of waitresses carried buckets of water from the lotus vats in various courtyards to put out the fire, but it was a drop in the bucket. Even if they stuck out their tongues out of exhaustion, they could only watch those houses burn more and more.

The flames shot into the sky, and all the ladies were startled, all of them stretched their necks and stared dumbfounded.

Mrs. Qiu also stood among the crowd, holding Mrs. Song's arm, her lips trembling as she watched the fire rising into the sky.Nanny Song knew that she was remembering the robbers who rushed into the Zhao Mansion to kill and set fire, so she patted the back of her hand lightly to comfort her.

The most taboo in the palace is to walk in the water, so they reasoned that as soon as they saw a fire here, the eunuchs and maids of all palaces had to come to put out the fire.But this time, for some reason, all the palaces were quiet. I don't know if it was because the burning was in a remote and uninhabited small courtyard, or because no one in charge of the palace was present, so no one dared to act rashly.

The fire also burned extremely fast, and within an hour, the three main rooms and two wing rooms were burned down and turned into ruins.Because there was still a little distance from Kunning Palace, the fire did not spread here, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.They all talked about the blessing of the Bodhisattva and the blessing of the Buddha.

While thinking, Mrs. Qiu suddenly called out: "Who saw the Princess? Is the Princess inside?"

"The princess?"

The hearts of the people who were falling in their stomachs walked halfway and raised their throats again. They all stretched their necks to look at each other. Although the night was gloomy, they could still clearly see people's faces when the fire in the courtyard had not been completely extinguished.

Mrs. Qiu was so anxious that she couldn't care less about offending others, she pulled away from the crowd and took a look around the courtyard, but she didn't see Jin Xi at all.Not to mention not seeing Jin Xi, even her waitress Qing Xing.

"The princess won't..." Burned to death inside?Mrs. Qiu's feet were weak and she almost fell down, but she didn't dare to say what was in her heart.

With her reminder, everyone remembered that Jinxi slept alone in the courtyard tonight.Thinking of this, the expressions on everyone's faces became complicated.A few wives with low status, timid and unwilling to interact with others have quietly retreated to their own rooms.

The originally crowded yard was suddenly half empty.Others can leave, but Mrs. Qiu can't. She is the first person to find out that Jinxi may have an accident. If she also withdraws at this time, the reputation of being fickle and unjust is settled. How can she walk in front of others in the future.

Mrs. Qiu was anxious and hated. What was anxious was Jinxi's safety. What she hated was that there were many wives who had been friends with her in normal times.

Gritting her teeth, Mrs. Qiu told Nanny Song, "Go and invite Nanny Gui and open the palace gate. I'm going to see the princess!"

"Ma'am..." Nanny Song secretly tugged Madam Xiaqiu's sleeve, and kept winking at her, implying that Madam Qiu should not meddle in this business.But her eyeballs almost flickered, Madam Qiu didn't change her mind, instead she urged her twice.

Unlike Nanny Song who was doubtful and dragging her feet, Nanny Gui rushed over as soon as she heard that Mrs. Qiu was looking for her.But when Mrs. Qiu wanted to open the gate of Kunning Palace, but turned to the courtyard to check Jinxi's situation, her whole body became entangled instantly.

Qi Qi Ai Ai said: "This... I'm afraid it's against the rules. The palace gates are locked at sunset, and the palace gates are opened at sunset. This is the rule set by Gaozu. This old slave...doesn't have the power, nor the courage..."

"Is it in compliance with the rules to arrange the princess to live alone in a side courtyard?" Her obvious perfunctory made Mrs. Qiu furious.

Although Mrs. Qiu has a prominent status, she is known for her gentle temper.Regardless of whether it is true or not, no one has ever seen her upset anyone in public. When she usually goes out to socialize and meets women who don't know what is good or who have never seen the world, most of them just smile lightly and ignore them. .

It's never happened before to be scolded face-to-face in such a hurry.What's more, it was the grandma who was in charge of the palace who was scolded.

Not only Nanny Gui was stunned, but Nanny Song was also stunned, she didn't understand what was wrong with her wife, she was so worried about Mrs. Hou who she had only met a few times.

"But..." Nanny Gui was still hesitating, but she heard an old voice shouting angrily from beside her: "But what? No matter what the crime is, I have to bear it. Why don't you open the palace gate and check the princess' situation? "

Alright, as long as there is someone to carry the thunder, this matter will be easy to handle!Nanny Gui looked up at Mrs. Dong who was furious, gritted her teeth, took out the silver and gold-covered pairing card from her waist, and handed it to the little maid who followed, "Take my pairing card and tell the guards to open the palace gate." , all guilt..."

She made a joke, Mrs. Dong didn't understand what else, she immediately shouted, "I will be responsible for all the crimes!"

Mrs. Dong also took care of her age and couldn't wait for the palace servants to hold the lamps, so she let the fifth lady rush to the side courtyard where Jinxi lived with her feet deep and shallow.The hasty pace made it difficult for the fifth lady to follow, not to mention the slightly fatter Mrs. Qiu, and Nanny Gui who was several years older.

Seeing them hurrying out of the gate of Kunning Palace, Zhou Yunying, who had been hiding behind everyone, stamped her foot and followed.

When Nanny Gui and Mrs. Qiu chased after her, and reached the gate of the side courtyard, she saw Mrs. Dong asking several young eunuchs who were fighting the fire, "Where is the princess? Are you hurt?"

"Back... back..." The little eunuch in charge of firefighting usually does rough work in the palace, and whenever a nobleman comes out, he has to follow the rules and avoid it.Tired for a long time at this time, seeing the seven-winged phoenix hairpin on Mrs. Dong's head again, she was so frightened that she couldn't even speak a whole sentence, and knelt there trembling.

"Speak quickly!" Mrs. Dong was very used to it, and she hated this kind of person the most, wishing to kick him twice to get the words out of his mouth.After Mrs. Dong suddenly yelled at him like this, the little lady rolled her eyes and passed out, which made Mrs. Dong so angry that she really wanted to go up and kick him awake.

Fifth Madam hurriedly supported her, but she couldn't find the purse of scattered silver that she usually wears as rewards at her waist, so she took off a gold bracelet from her wrist, broke it into several pieces and threw it in front of the rest of the people. "You can exchange these for silver, and reward you for your meritorious service in fighting the fire. Whoever has something to say is free to say it, and it doesn't matter if he is wrong!"

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. Although these rough envoys and servants are timid, they still have a lot of courage on the golden face of Huang Chengcheng.One of them quickly grabbed the gold in front of him, "If you go back to the nobleman, the fire is too big, and the servants didn't go into the house, so I don't know what's going on inside!"

"The servant was the first one to come over, and I didn't see anyone running out of the house at that time!"

"The servant didn't see it either!"

"From the beginning to the end, there was no movement in the fire scene. The county chief was either fainted by the smoke, or ran out!"

"Forgive me for your boldness. The fire is too strong. When I found it, I burned it and cut off the way out. I'm afraid the people inside are..."

Someone took the lead, and the rest became more courageous.

Hearing what they said to each other, Madam Qiu, who was catching up, was blinded and almost fainted.According to them, Princess Leyi is in danger!
Not only did she have this idea, but everyone present was a little horrified.Marquis Qing Yuan is now leading an army to attack Qiuci, what if he hears that his daughter-in-law was burned to death in the palace...

After all, Mrs. Dong is old and used to the wind and waves, but her heart beat wildly a few times, and she said sharply: "Quickly call in people and clear the fire. No matter what, the princess was appointed by the Queen Mother herself, and it's her who Marquis Qingyuan's first wife, she wants to see people in life and corpses in death!"

"Old Feng Jun, I'm afraid it's..." Nanny Gui was about to speak up, when Mrs. Dong's fierce eyes flew over, and she was too frightened to speak any more.

Now that things have happened, she can only hope that Princess Leyi is still alive, otherwise, she will be the first one who cannot be spared when Qing Yuanhou comes back!

"Aren't you going to do it soon?" Just because Mrs. Dong can't be offended doesn't mean that Nanny Gui is willing to show good looks to those little wives.

Everyone trembled in fright, but they just got the gold, and everyone seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood. After these few roars, they were not as scared as they used to be.

They got up one after another, found some rags to wrap their hands around, and found many scratching hooks one or two feet long from nowhere, and pushed aside the large pieces of unburned wood that were still smoking, and cleaned up the bricks little by little.

The burnt bricks looked like pastries, and there was a pile of ashes when they moved. Mrs. Dong sneezed several times. The fifth lady quickly put down the handkerchief covering her mouth and nose, and persuaded Mrs. Dong: "The ancestors go back first." The house nourishes the soul, and the granddaughter-in-law is here to guard, if there is any news, it will be the same to tell you immediately."

Nanny Gui also hurriedly agreed, "Yes, young madam should also go and rest together, and the old slave will just watch over!"

"It doesn't matter!" Mrs. Dong insisted on her face, her eyes were fixed on the pile of ruins that were still smoking and ashes.The expression on his face became more and more urgent.

More than a dozen young princes rummaged together, and after digging for another meal, one person suddenly shouted: "There is someone!"

"Who is it?" Several people who stretched their necks waiting for the news exclaimed at the same time.

That place happened to be full of broken bricks, and there was no burning wood, the little eunuch quickly threw away the hook, and half-kneeling, he used his hands to push the broken bricks off the man's body.Seeing the man's miserable appearance clearly, he pushed his ass backwards onto the ruins, and crawled back screaming while propped up on his hands.

"You lowly slave! How dare you make loud noises within the palace walls!" Nanny Gui fixed Chunlei's tongue and yelled loudly, focusing on scolding others, but forgot that her own voice was not low.Definitely up to the loud standards.

"Slave... Slave... Slave made a mistake, please forgive me!" The waitress was obviously too frightened, and subconsciously said words of pleading.But his body didn't move, his eyes were fixed on the humanoid object he dug out with his own hands.

Everyone present followed his gaze and shivered unanimously.That's horrible!

At this time, the morning sun is slightly dew, and the fish belly is white in the east.The two corpses hugged each other and curled up into a ball, already charred.Although the two were completely unrecognizable, their clothes were also burnt.But the general outline of the body can still be seen, and there is no doubt that they are two women.

And that ruin was Jin Xi's bedroom, so it could be inferred that these two corpses were not Jin Xi and Qing Xing... Who else could they be?
Seeing all this clearly, Mrs. Dong rolled her eyes and fell back straight.The fifth lady's face was pale with fright, her face was whiter than paper, holding Mrs. Dong in her arms, all she could do was cry.

Mrs. Qiu also had three souls and two and a half souls. Although she had expected this kind of result in her heart, predicting and seeing it with her own eyes were two different things.

Zhou Yunying, who was following behind the crowd, was so stunned that she didn't even have any expression on her face.If there were no eye sockets to block it, the eyeballs would have fallen to the ground long ago.

I kept shouting in my heart, how could this happen?That man clearly made a poisonous oath, promising not to touch a single hair of Xi's girl!
