Eunuch Jade still had a solution after all. Not long after the message was passed on, the carriage was already hitched and waiting at the gate of the palace. I hurriedly got on it and urged the driver to hurry up.

But the carriage moved slowly after all, and it staggered for a while before it finally entered the street.

I was so anxious and couldn't wait any longer, so I simply got off the carriage and unhooked the horse from the shaft. The little eunuch who was driving the carriage was startled, and when he was about to persuade me, I got on the horse and said to him: "Little eunuch

Brother, this is a serious matter, so don’t make it public, otherwise disaster will be imminent!"

Seeing my stern look, the little eunuch was also shocked. After all, I often go in and out of Yonghe Palace these days, and such a big thing happened today. He also felt that something was unusual, so he swallowed and behaved obediently.

Retreat once.

I pinched the horse's belly, and the horse galloped away like an offline arrow.

Galloping all the way, my back jolted on the horse as if half of the bones in my body were about to fall apart. Finally, in the dark night, my nose smelled the familiar cold fragrance again, and I saw the outline of the huge mansion in front of me.<

/p>

Planted deep west of Tongque Lane.

Qingmei Villa to the west of Tongque Terrace!

It wasn't until I saw that poem that I suddenly remembered that I had indeed seen that scene before. It was the place where Huang Tianba sat under the plum tree warming wine and waiting for me that day. The only difference was that the laurel tree in the painting became

Plum trees, so although I have always felt familiar, I have never thought about Qingmei Villa, but in fact - the scene is dead, but the tree is alive!

Could it be that that house has anything to do with the late Queen?

But doesn’t that place belong to Huang Tianba?

What is going on? Or is there some connection hidden in this that I don’t know about? What about Pei Yuanhao? What did he see from the painting, and what did he know?

I didn't have time to think about it. There was a river in front of me, and the suspension bridge on it was swaying. It was impossible for the horses to pass. But if I wanted to cross the stone bridge, I would have to take a long detour. I hurriedly turned over and dismounted. I didn't have time to tie the horse up and throw away the reins.

Then he ran forward quickly.

After crossing this bridge, not far ahead is Qingmei Villa.

It was finally here. I stood at the end of the bridge. Just after taking a breath, I heard a burst of noise from in front of me. It seemed like there was some commotion. I vaguely heard many people shouting and roaring quietly.

The night was immediately broken by this noise.

And when I looked up, I saw a ball of fire in front of me soaring into the sky, turning the dark sky into red.

That's——

I looked at the place where the fire came from, it was Qingmei Villa!

I realized something was wrong, so I hurriedly ran over there, getting closer and closer, and it turned out to be Qingmei Villa. I saw the blazing fire surrounding the entire courtyard, like a fire dragon raging wildly, roaring with rage,

Thick black smoke rose into the sky, and along with the roar of the fire demon, there were countless cries.

There are people inside, many people!

From a distance, I also saw the figures inside. They were burned by the fire and let out shrill cries. They ran out desperately, but before they could run out of the door, they could no longer hold on and fell to the ground. They were soon swallowed up by the fire!

Pei Yuanhao, isn't he going to find Yuxi? Is he trapped inside?

When I thought of this, I suddenly felt that the blood in my body was boiling, and I hurried over. The entire garden was surrounded by fire. I only saw that the fire at the side door was not big, but it was relatively hidden here. If not,

I've been here before and I didn't know there was actually a door here.

As soon as I got closer, I felt a scorching heat wave coming over me, as if my hair was on fire. I gritted my teeth, rolled on the snow, kicked open the back door, and rushed in.<

/p>

As soon as I entered, I felt that this was a purgatory on earth.

The fire was so towering that it was like a demon devouring life. I saw everyone struggling and roaring in the fire. Their bodies were burning with flames and exuding a scorched smell. Some people had fainted and collapsed due to the smoke.

In the fire, there are still people rushing out.

The snow on my clothes had already turned into water and had been dried by this time. Some of the corners of my clothes had even caught fire. I endured the severe pain of my skin being burned and shouted desperately: "Your Highness, Third Prince"

, where are you, Pei Yuanhao!"

There are people around, but he can't be seen.

I immediately panicked, fearing that he had already suffered, and shouted loudly: "Pei Yuanhao, Pei Yuanhao, answer me, Pei Yuanhao!"

At this moment, I saw some people nearby enduring the scorching flames and preparing to climb over the wall to escape. But just as they climbed onto the high wall, I heard a few whooshing sounds, and saw a flash of silver light in the air, and a few arrows and crossbows.

He shot over quickly, hitting those people and then fell back into the sea of ​​fire.

I immediately felt something - someone was preventing them from escaping.

Could this fire be——

At this moment, I caught sight of a familiar voice in front of me. He was leaning against the wall and almost unconscious due to the thick smoke. He slowly slid along the wall to the ground. When I looked closely, it turned out to be Pei Yuanchen!
p>

What's going on? Why is he here?

I was shocked and rushed forward. Sure enough, it was Pei Yuanchen. The scars on his face were still there, as well as traces of smoke and fire. His lips were cracked and there were several burns on his body. I quickly grabbed his shoulders and said, "King Yun

Your Highness, Your Highness!"

He slowly opened his eyes and glanced at me: "Is that you?"

"What's going on? Your Highness King Yun, how could you-"

"What's going on?" He repeated this sentence and suddenly smiled: "We were fooled."

Fooled?

I just felt that my mind was blank, I had no time to think, and I had no way to think. He coughed desperately a few times, and I hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I, I will save you!"

As I said that, I started to help him up, but as soon as I helped him up, I saw that the wall behind him was soaked in a large area of ​​blood. Only then did I see clearly that an arrow had been hit in his chest, and it penetrated

When I helped him on his back, the wound opened, and he screamed in pain and fell down again.

"Your Highness!"

I didn't dare to touch him anymore, but Pei Yuanchen looked up at me and seemed a little surprised: "I didn't expect that you would actually want to save me."

"..." I was stunned for a moment. Indeed, I have never had a good impression of him. Even after knowing his thoughts about Huang Tianba, I felt disgusted in my heart. But now, after all, human life is at stake, and I can't ignore him.

Regardless.

So I said: "Your Highness, just be patient and I will carry you out."

As I said that, I reached out to help him, but he waved my hand gently and refused. He coughed twice again, and this time he coughed up blood. He stretched out his hand to wipe it, and his face became paler and he was trembling a little.

: "It seems that I can't do it anymore."

"His Royal Highness King Yun."

"What should I do..." He was trembling and tears flowed out, but they were dried immediately. I felt the fear and helplessness emanating from his body. When a person is about to die, all the glory and wealth are gone.

, the identity and status are all fake, what else can we think about and read about?

At this moment, his eyes flashed, and he reached into his arms and touched it with difficulty. I thought he was in pain, so I was about to comfort him, but I saw him take out a jade flute from his arms.

That was what he used when he and Huang Tianba sang harmony with the harp and flute.

He had already handed the jade flute to me: "You must get out alive and give this to him."

I was stunned for a moment and looked at him. His pale face showed an unprecedented seriousness and solemnity. He looked at me and said, "I can't go back, but you must leave it to him."

"Your Highness..." I suddenly felt an unspeakable sadness welling up in my heart. I knew he had that kind of thought about Huang Tianba, but I thought it was the same feeling he had for those beautiful men and charming male favorites.

He was just greedy for beauty, but he didn’t expect that before he died, he was still thinking about Huang Tianba!

He seemed to smile bitterly: "I know that he may not really treat me, but I still like him very much."

"..." I was speechless. I only felt that my eyes hurt. It hurt so much.

"Give it to him for me. If he wants to keep it, keep it. If he doesn't want to keep it, throw it away."

"..."

I gently stretched out my hand and took the jade flute. The tears welling up in my eyes were quickly dried by the hot temperature around me. But looking at the pale face in front of me, it still slowly blurred, as if his breathing

, began to be weak, and finally his smile condensed on his face. When he lowered his head, everything became blank.

I knelt down in front of him. I felt so painful that I couldn't even feel it. The corners of my skirt were on fire and slowly burned to my body. I don't know how long it had passed. I felt it was getting more and more difficult to breathe. Thick smoke penetrated my nose.

It makes people choke.

I slowly stood up, holding the jade flute firmly with one hand, and looked outside the garden.

There were still people rushing out, but they hadn't climbed over the wall yet. Some had even just opened the door, and the sharp crossbow arrows had already pierced their chests. Blood suddenly spurted out, pierced the sky, and sprinkled on the scorching flames.

, adding a tragic flavor.

The place where the crossbow arrows came from is opposite Bieyuan!

I slowly raised my head.

Just opposite the Villa, on the second floor of the restaurant, I vaguely saw many people, and that familiar figure was sitting there, looking down coldly with a calm or cold expression on his face.

, as if a ruthless god is looking down on all living beings.

It's him...

At this moment, I suddenly felt a little dazed, as if that night in Yangzhou City, fireworks were blooming, and he was standing high on the tower, looking down, but this time, I was not in the crowd, but in the crowd.

In the sea of ​​fire, people around were crying, screaming, and struggling for life and death.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on this, and he was shocked. He quickly stood up and held on to the wooden railing, and looked towards me with a shocked look on his face.

I looked at him too.
