An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1134 Preparations

Yun Shang pretended not to see her. Not long after, she saw two secret guards holding a person jump

out of the window and quickly heading to the Taiji Palace. Then, seven or eight more secret guards

followed them and escorted him all the way.

"Your majesty..." Seeing the figures of secrets guards, Lady Lian said hesitantly, "Was the person those

guards escorting away his majesty? Your majesty seems to be unconscious. What happened? "

Hearing this, Yun Shang suddenly turned to look at Lady Lian with cold eyes.

Lady Lian shivered and couldn't help but take two steps back. Her smile gradually stiffened. "I... I just...

"

Before she could finish her words, Yun Shang said indifferently, "The day before yesterday, his majesty

dealt with political affairs too late, so he has caught a cold and had a fever. These two days, he has

been suffering from a lot of pain and always couldn't sleep well. Before going to bed, I gave him some

medicine, which contained some herbs that could soothe his nerves. So I'm afraid his majesty hasn't

heard these noises. It's not a big deal. It's rare for his majesty to have a good sleep. I don't want to

wake him up. "

Lady Lian lowered her head. Hearing Yun Shang's words, she nodded and said, "Yes, your majesty are

right. I just saw that there were so many arrows just now, and there must be many assassins, and they

all came for Weiyang Palace. So I just feared that... someone will do harm to his majesty as he is taken

to the Tai Chi hall by the guards like this."

Yun Shang sneered, If anyone can do harm to his majesty under my watch, just come."

Then she quickly called out a secret guard, "Send someone to investigate the palace thoroughly and

arrest all the suspicious people walking in the palace."

"Yes."

The secret guard left with a group of people.

Qian Zhuo kept telling the servants to fetch water from the well to put out the fire. The fire in the main

hall was getting weaker and weaker, but there was a noise from the side hall. "It's on fire, run!"

Hearing the noise, Lady Lian raised her head in a hurry. "Your majesty, there seems to be some noise

from the side hall."

Yun Shang turned to look at the side hall, and saw smoke billowing and a figure rushing out of the

smoke.

One after another, in a short while, more than 20 people ran out.

Yun Shang squinted at the people who ran out of the side hall.

Lady Lian was also startled. "Why are there so many people in the side hall? Looking at their clothes, it

seemed that they are... servants? "

Yun Shang nodded carelessly, "Yes, they are the servants in the Weiyang Palace. They were

imprisoned in the side hall because of their mistakes. I'm afraid those who are in charge of guarding

them are busy putting off the fire. So they ran out when they saw the fierce fire."

After saying that, Yun Shang raised her voice and called, "Qian Zhuo! Bring the servants who ran out of

the side hall there and ask them to help put out the fire together to atone for their mistakes. "

Hearing this, Qian Zhuo turned around and looked at the people running out of the side hall. She

frowned slightly and raised her voice in a hurry, "You, hurry up to help put out the fire! Hurry up! "

Hearing Qian Zhuo's words, the servants immediately fetched buckets and pots, filled them with water

and ran to put out the fire.

For a moment, the whole Weiyang Palace was in chaos.

Seeing this, Lady Lian's eyes flashed. She stepped forward and said to Yun Shang, "Your majesty,

although the fire in the main hall is a little weaker, the side hall is still burning. If we let it go on like this,

I'm afraid the whole Weiyang Palace will be burnt to ashes. I'll go outside to ask the patrolling guards to

come here and help. "

Yun Shang didn't look at her. "It's dangerous here. I don't know where the assassins are hidden. Lady

Lian, you'd better go back to the Jinxi Palace."

Lady Lian thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay. I'll do no help even if I stay here. In that case, I'll

leave now."

Yun Shang didn't pay much attention to her. After she left, she winked at Qian Zhuo.

Qian Zhuo nodded. While the servants were busy putting out the fire, she pulled a secret guard and

ordered in a low voice.

The fire was soon put out, but the main hall and side hall of Weiyang Palace had been burned to

ashes, and no one could live there anymore.

"Weiyang Palace has been burned to such a terrible state. It will take some time for it to recover its

original appearance. I'll ask someone to clean up the Jinxiu Palace, which is not far from Weiyang

Palace. Your majesty, what about staying there for a few days? "

Yun Shang nodded, "Ok."

"I'll go to the Jinxiu Palace with your majesty first, and I'll ask Pei Lan and Hua'er to pack up what you

need and send them to the Jinxiu Palace."

As she spoke, she took the lantern from a servant and walked behind Yun Shang to light the path for

her.

Yun Shang nodded and left Weiyang Palace. Then she turned to Qian Zhuo and asked, "Is it past

midnight now?"

"Yes." Qian Yin answered. After a pause, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Now it's

your majesty's birthday. I wish you happiness and longevity."

Yun Shang smiled, "Well, it's really an exciting birthday. What a good omen the fire is!"

Qian Yin also nodded, "Yes, your majesty will have a good luck this year."

"Forget it." Yun Shang smiled, "I can't afford such a good luck."

Qian Zhuo stuck out her tongue and said, "I said something wrong."

Yun Shang didn't make a fuss about it. "Tonight Weiyang Palace has been caught on fire. The other

palaces will definitely receive the news soon. If someone asks about it, just tell them the truth. I won't

see them... "

"Yes."

Jinxiu Palace was not far from Weiyang Palace, and they arrived soon.

"I've sent someone here to clean up the Jinxiu Palace. The bedroom has been ready, and the bedding

and quilt have been changed. The furnishings in the bedroom have been replaced. Don't worry, your

majesty. "

Yun Shang nodded and walked into the bedroom. "You've arranged everything well. Of course I won't

worry."

With a smile, Qian Zhuo said, "Your majesty must be hungry after working so late at night. I've asked

someone to heat the white fungus and lotus seed soup and some desserts. You can have some first."

Yun Shang said yes, ate something and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After coming out of the bathroom, Qian Zhuo dried Yun Shang's hair and said in a low voice, "Lady Lian

didn't go far after she left Weiyang Palace. She stopped at a corner of Weiyang Palace when no one

noticed. The secret guard saw a paper ball thrown out. Lady Lian picked up the paper ball and then

went back to the Jinxi Palace. "

Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "All the necessary preparations are ready. We just need to wait for the

dawn. There would be a big show after dawn. I hope this play can have an ending as I want. "This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
