The empress dowager's coffin was placed in a large hall, surrounded by many palace maids and eunuchs dressed in plain white mourning clothes.

White candles and draperies can be seen everywhere.

Even the entire palace is basically white.

Apart from the emperor, no one came to pay their respects.

Or rather, the emperor wouldn't allow it.

The late emperor had only a few concubines left, and Xiao Luochen knew clearly that those concubines would not shed a single tear for Sheng Wu's departure.

Not to mention, since Sheng Wu likes me, how could he want to see my concubines?

Therefore, the mourning hall was extremely deserted and quiet.

As for Sheng Wu, she had been changed into the formal mourning clothes and was now lying there with her hands on her flat belly. Her enchanting face was peaceful and serene.

Even though the palace maids and eunuchs had been standing for a whole day and were extremely tired, they did not dare to be negligent at all. After all, everyone knew that the emperor attached great importance to the empress dowager.

If they accidentally dozed off, they would probably end up with their heads and bodies separated!

Just when everyone was holding their breath and watching with their heads down.

suddenly.

"Help, there's a fire! Come and put it out!"

The eunuch's scream for help startled all those who were drowsy and woke them up instantly.

Get lost!

The palace maids and eunuchs subconsciously looked up and saw that the area outside the mourning hall where some funeral supplies were piled up had caught fire very quickly!

This time.

"Hurry! Put out the fire!"

"Where's the water? Where's the water?"

"Oh, please don't let the fire spread here! If we disturb the Queen Mother's peace, no one will survive!"

More than twenty palace maids and eunuchs panicked instantly and hurriedly looked for things to put out the fire outside.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the place where the flames were shooting up into the sky, and they all rushed outside to put out the fire.

The mourning hall was quickly emptying.

Pei Yuqing's figure suddenly appeared from the side hall.

Mingyu followed beside him, carrying a person on his seemingly thin body.

A corpse, to be exact.

Then.

Pei Yuqing hesitated for a second between carrying the body that had just died and resisting Sheng Wu who was faking her death.

He reached out and took the body from Mingyu's shoulder.

"You, quickly go and pick up Sheng Wu!"

He wouldn't touch that crazy woman on his own initiative!

Even let him touch the corpse!

Seeing this, Sheng Wu, who was very distrustful of Pei Yuqing and was sitting in the system space as a supervisor with her soul extracted, narrowed her charming cold eyes and curled her red lips.

Oh, a dog eunuch.

Well done to you!

The black ball who was watching the show next to him sensed a chill and silently moved his butt away.

It's over, it feels that the mission of conquering the villains in this world is completely hopeless, woo woo!

“Ah, oh!”

Mingyu was a little confused, but the situation was urgent, so he quickly reached out and carried the unconscious Shengwu out of the coffin, which had not yet been closed.

"Take Sheng Wu and get out of the carriage first, quickly!"

Pei Yuqing quickly threw the corpse on his shoulders into the coffin.

"yes!"

Mingyu also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately carried Shengwu's body and left from the back of the side hall.

There are other people there to respond.

Pei Yuqing, looking at this extremely important mourning hall, couldn't help but have a cold look in his eyes. He quickly pulled down the curtains around it and knocked down the candles placed next to the coffin.

Burned quickly.

However, fearing that the burning speed would not be fast enough, Pei Yuqing simply sprinkled the fragrant oil next to it.

The fire quickly spread from the curtains on the beams and set the entire mourning hall on fire.

Pei Yuqing turned around.

He did not leave the palace directly, but went to the place outside where he had sent people to set fire.

He stood behind a dark red lacquered column, the huge column completely concealing his broad shoulders and narrow waist.

Pei Yuqing just stared at the noise outside with a cold look in his eyes.

"Oh no! The Empress Dowager's mourning hall is on fire!"

"Quick, save that side first!"

"Someone, go and inform the emperor immediately!" Some eunuchs in charge who didn't know that Xiao Luochen had already left the palace turned pale with fear.

It’s over, it’s over. If anything happens to the Empress Dowager’s body, they will all die!

Pei Yuqing continued to guard, neither leaving nor appearing.

His left hand was slowly turning a jade ring on his right hand, his narrow and cold peach blossom eyes were half closed, like a wild beast lurking in the darkness.

Waiting for the prey to appear.

If Xiao Luochen went to the imperial mausoleum, a round trip would be enough for Mingyu to send Sheng Wu away.

If he didn't go, he would just delay time here.

But it depends on whether Xiao Luochen will become suspicious.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The fire in the Shengwu Spiritual Hall was gradually growing bigger.

"What's going on!"

Suddenly, a cold and domineering voice sounded.

However, it was slightly covered up by the noisy sound of the fire, but many people nearby also noticed it.

Turning around, they were all frightened and immediately knelt down.

"Give my respect to His Majesty!"

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

However, Xiao Luochen no longer had the heart to care about them. Looking at the flames in the sky, his cold, eagle-like eyes trembled.

"Where is Sheng Wu! Where is Sheng Wu's body!" He immediately grabbed a kneeling eunuch and shouted at him!

There was a hint of panic in his eyes.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the etiquette of addressing others.

In other words, the moment Sheng Wu died in his arms, he no longer wanted to call her "Queen Mother".

Xiao Luochen always felt that something was wrong. He had just sent people to build a new imperial mausoleum, and the imperial mausoleum was extremely cautious about fires, so how could it suddenly fire?

He was keenly suspicious and turned back halfway, but he also sent a substitute to the imperial tomb. If everything was fine here and the substitute was there to represent him, he would rush over again.

If something happens here...

He wants to see who is seeking death!

The eunuch who was caught by Xiao Luochen was so frightened that his voice trembled.

"The Empress Dowager is still in the mourning hall. She has not been rescued!"
