Princess Taiping Palace—

Before dawn, the manager of the outer courtyard carried a lantern and hurriedly knocked on the gate of the inner courtyard. The woman guarding the gate asked, "What's the matter?"

The manager hurriedly said, "Who belongs to everyone? There is an urgent news from outside. Report to Your Highness if you have any questions."

"You wait, I'll call someone."

"Why!"

The manager agreed, and soon, the manager of the inner courtyard came out and whispered a few words to the manager of the outer courtyard. He immediately hurriedly walked in and rushed to Princess Taiping's bedroom. Huaiyu was on the night of today: "Why are you so panicked?"

"Miss Huaiyu, an urgent report came from outside, saying that water had flown away in the palace in the middle of the night, burned the imperial concubine's bedroom, and the imperial concubine died!"

"What?"

But Princess Taiping stepped out and asked urgently: "What did you say just now? Say it again!"

"Here!"

The manager told the news he had just received again. Princess Taiping stood there and said nothing at the moment, and seemed to be a little unbelievable. Huaiyu was very useful. Seeing Princess Taiping's hair spread out and wearing a bedclothes, she quickly supported her and persuaded softly: "Even if the master cares about the concubine who is in a hurry to enter the palace, she must wash first. While the master is washing, she will send someone to find out what is going on?"

Princess Taiping looked straight, nodded with a cold face, and suddenly turned around and sat in front of the dressing table: "Just be simpler, hurry up."

"Here."

The maids were quick and quick. Several of them started to take care of each other. After a while, Princess Taiping got up and went out, the car was ready. She got on the carriage and went to the palace immediately. When she arrived at the north gate, she happened to meet Zhang Changzong who was riding a horse. He was also waiting at the north gate to enter the palace.

"Ruolang?"

Princess Taiping poked her head out, and the expressions on each other's faces were not good-looking. The palace gate was not open and could not enter. They could only wait and waved their hands, let Zhang Changzong get on the carriage, and asked, "What's going on? What news did you receive?"

Zhang Changzong shook his head with a heavy expression: "I don't know, I only know that water is coming from the palace. It is my master's bedroom, but there is no fire outside. I think the fire should be controlled in time, but I don't know that my master..."

After choking, Zhang Changzong covered his face and lowered his head, and his words stopped immediately. Princess Taiping sighed, raised his hand to pat his shoulder, and comforted him in a deep voice: "Maybe the situation is not as bad as we expected, you... Alas, keep it steady first, many matters still need you. Mrs. Peiguo..."

"I still dare not tell the old man, but I still hide it."

Zhang Changzong covered his face, depressed and depressed. Princess Taiping sighed and looked heavy: "It's better to hide it from it. It's hard to bear to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person."

Zhang Changzong nodded, took a deep breath, let go of his hands covering his face, and his expression was firm: "Yes, Mrs. Zheng still needs me, she only has master and me. If it is master... I have to let her rely on it and be her support."

Princess Taiping sighed, and said nothing more, just let him sit in his carriage, and then asked someone to urge the palace gate to open. After waiting for a while, the palace gate finally opened. Zhang Changzong entered the palace with Princess Taiping's carriage, and went in and went straight to Shangguan Wan'er's bedroom-

Outside the bedroom, the imperial guards of the Northern and Southern Ya are all there, and the prime minister Zhang Jianzhi and Yuan Shuji who are on duty at night are also there, while the owners of the palace, Li Xian, Empress Wei, and the princesses, actually moved quickly to escape from the palace.

Zhang Changzong and Princess Taiping: "..."

Zhang Changzong had a little angry on his face. It was still because Princess Taiping had many storms. He quickly sorted out his emotions and expressions, reached out to Zhang Changzong, and walked directly to Zhang Jianzhi and Yuan Shuji: "You two are here too, I don't know what's going on? Have you ever asked about the past?"

Zhang Jianzhi said: "Princess Lao asked on his own initiative that Mrs. Shangguan was in the bedroom and had been found to have controlled the fire, but Mrs. Shangguan was not rescued."

Zhang Changzong turned around without saying a word and ran to the bedroom-

Without caring about anything, I saw four corpses covered with white cloth on the ground.

Zhang Changzong stopped and shook his fingers: "This...this is..."

"The Marquis asks you to mourn, the imperial concubine is dead!"

"Two...two accurate? Are you on duty today?"

The expression on Zhang Changzong's face clearly wanted to laugh, but his smile was even worse than crying. When others made people feel sad, Liu Erzhun nodded and bowed: "I have met the Marquis."

Zhang Changzong waved his hand, squatted down, and covered his face: "But... have you found out the cause of the fire?"

Liu Erzhun said: "I heard from the palace maids in the palace that it was because the lamp oil was spilled. Although they called for help in time, the bedroom was full of flammable objects, and the fire broke out very quickly. If it weren't for the water dragons prepared in the palace a few days ago, the fire would have been burned a little bigger. But even so, the bedroom was still burned. Marquis, I..."

Zhang Changzong waved his hand again: "You need not say, I know that if you can save me, with your friendship, you will not stand by. Thank you, second-guess, let me be alone for a while."

"Here."

Liu Erzhun responded and quietly took a few steps back and stood silently.

Zhang Changzong squatted, lowered his head, as if his whole body's energy had been drained away. He squatted quietly. After a while, he stood up hard, shaking his hands and lifted the covered white cloth and looked at it. He quickly raised his hand to cover his face, knelt down directly, leaned over and kowtow, and his head touched the burning ground. He was reluctant to look up and stood up for a long time. Although he had never cried, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Over there, Princess Taiping and Zhang Jianzhi and Yuan Shuji finished speaking, staggered over and asked in a trembling voice: "This...is this Shangguan?"

Zhang Changzong didn't say anything, but reached out and handed over a jade pendant that had not yet been burnt. Although Princess Taiping had a grudge with Shangguan Wan'er in the past two years, she had been in the palace, looking up and not seeing her. She was naturally familiar with each other. She could see it at a glance and said in a lost voice: "This...this is Shangguan's! This...this..."

It seemed a little hard to believe, and if Huaiyu hadn't followed her, she would have fallen: "How...why? How could it be? How could it be!"

"Master!"

Zhang Changzong, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help crying loudly.

Amid the footsteps, people were rushing towards me: "Wan'er!"

It was Li Xian, who had escaped from the palace, and Li Xian was back!

Seeing Zhang Changzong crying loudly when he saw Princess Taiping looking sad, he asked in a trembling voice: "Concubine... What's wrong with the Concubine?"

Zhang Jianzhi and others hurriedly saluted and replied, "Go back to Your Majesty, Mrs. Shangguan has died, Your Majesty is mourning."

"Wan'er!"
