Murong Lie only hesitated for three seconds before he chose to take off the sheet wrapped around him.
However, it was too late.
Men in ancient times all had long hair, especially Murong Lie, who had just emerged from the gentle fragrance. At this moment, his hair was scattered in the wind. From behind, he looked like a ferocious female ghost.
The hair ends suddenly caught fire and raged in the wind.
Almost at the moment when Murong Lie quickly pulled down the fig leaf, there was a "bang" and his hair quickly caught fire.
The air was suddenly filled with a burnt smell.
"Your Majesty..."
Countless eunuchs and palace maids witnessed this horrifying scene and for a moment they completely forgot about putting out the fire!
The emperor was standing there naked, his spear already broken, and his face was ashen.
Behind him, his black hair curled with flames, burning wildly.
"Ah~" This scene was really eye-catching, and some timid palace maids were scared and ran away.
There were some brave palace maids who, although covering their eyes, were secretly glancing at certain parts of the emperor.
That's it? That's it?
They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
They originally envied the concubines in the palace.
Looking at it now, with its short appearance, it’s no wonder that the royal family has not had many descendants.
"Help, save the emperor!" The eunuch Wang Defa screamed in panic.
He struggled to lift a bucket of water, and poured it down on Murong Lie, chilling him to the bone.
The fire on Murong Lie was extinguished.
But when his naked body was blown by the wind, he shivered with cold.
His face was ashen, and he looked like he had lost all hope in life.
He chose both social death and nearly being burned to death...
At this moment, he really wanted to look up to the sky and cry out, asking loudly what he had done wrong.
Looking back at the countless rise and fall in history, which emperor was more unlucky than himself?!
Murong Lie looked as if he had lost all hope in life.
Even when the chief eunuch attentively brought him a new quilt, he still had a sour face.
Murong Yue, who was wrapped tightly in the quilt beside him, couldn't help but shiver when she saw the emperor's tragic condition.
She hurriedly and cautiously moved out, looking around vigilantly, fearing that a spark would pop out from somewhere and cause her to follow in Murong Lie's footsteps.
Hiding in a safe area, Murong Yue looked at the inexplicable fire, then looked at the cloudless sky, with a look of surprise.
It's spring already, why is there a sudden thunder?
Murong Yue was confused, her eyes were filled with flames shooting up into the sky, and she suddenly smiled, her smile was enchanting and charming.
…
That night, no one in the palace slept at all.
Murong Lie originally wanted to punish the commander of the Imperial Guards and the captains of the guards, but was interrupted by Zuo Yexuan who came to report the situation.
"Your Majesty, I have excavated the remains of 1,444 children from Concubine Xu's compound."
"The youngest was less than three years old, and the oldest was no more than ten. Some even had their tendons severed and bled to death..."
"Among them, the identities of 914 have been verified. Your Majesty, how will you deal with these innocent children who died unjustly?"
Zuo Yexuan took advantage of the night to find Murong Lie. She lowered her head and reported all the news to the emperor in a hurried and sorrowful voice.
At this moment, she felt as if she had returned to her previous life to report on her work, and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
However, when she looked up and met Murong Lie's gloomy eyes, she was slightly stunned.
Especially seeing the dog emperor’s miserable appearance after being almost burned bald.
She burst out laughing.
When she reacted, she immediately covered her mouth.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I don't usually smile."
Unless... I really can't help it, ahahahaha~
Zuo Yexuan laughed wildly in her heart.
The dog emperor was so miserable. Not only was his face covered in dust, but he was also soaked like a drowned chicken.
Especially his beautiful hair, which he cherished the most. It was ravaged by the flames and was reduced to a mere sliver. As a result, Zuo Yexuan couldn't help laughing whenever she saw his almost bald appearance.
“Ahem!”
No, she couldn't laugh. She wanted to seek justice for the 1,444 children who died unjustly.
Zuo Yexuan pinched her thigh hard and finally suppressed the urge to laugh out loud.
"Your Majesty, how should the bodies of these children be placed? Shouldn't we give an explanation to these poor parents?" Zuo Yexuan calmed down and said seriously.
"Explanation? What explanation?" Murong Lie glanced coldly at Zuo Yexuan when he heard that.
"The children's bodies were indeed found in the palace, but who can say that Concubine Xu was the one who murdered them?"
"From ancient times to the present, countless concubines have lived in that courtyard."
"Does the Queen want me to go to the ends of the earth with you to find them and argue with them?"
"Besides, even if Concubine Xu really was the one who murdered these innocent children, no matter how much I hate her, she was once my woman and represented the royal family's reputation. Do you want me to personally explain this to the world?"
"What a joke! I am the Emperor, the supreme ruler! I don't need to explain my actions to anyone!"
Murong Lie looked at Zuo Yexuan coldly.
When his words became heated, he suddenly flicked his sleeves, lifted up a corner of the quilt, and the cold wind rushed in, making him so cold that he hurriedly wrapped himself up like a dumpling again.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Yexuan stared at the man in front of her with fear and unfamiliarity on her pretty face.
She knew that he never loved her.
Her relationship with him was at most a modern business marriage, and she had never expected to receive his love.
She always thought that although her nominal husband was a little blinded by lust, he was a good emperor when it came to major issues.
Until today, the Dog Emperor once again refreshed her cognitive limits.
"Murong Lie! Listen to me, listen to me, are you talking like a human being?"
Zuo Yexuan's chest heaved with anger. Even though she had been reborn many years ago, she still couldn't treat human life as worthless.
"Zuo Yexuan, how dare you defy the emperor's authority! Who gave you the courage?"
"Or is it that the tutor of the dignified Left Prime Minister's Mansion is so vulgar?!"
Being called by his name, Murong Lie became even more irritable.
"Tsk tsk tsk~" Zuo Yexuan was not annoyed when she heard that. She lowered her head and glanced at Murong Lie who was in a mess.
The corners of his lips curled slightly, his eyes slanted, and he said with contempt.
"You said I disrespected the imperial power and Murong Lie... You might as well lower your head and take a good look at yourself."
"Do you have any royal dignity?"
Zuo Yexuan sneered, then turned around and walked away.
Only Murong Lie was left raging in the wind.
"Shrew! Shrew! I will depose the queen, I will depose her tomorrow!"
As luck would have it, Murong Lie's voice fell into Zuo Yexuan's ears.
Zuo Yexuan curled her lips and sneered.
Want to depose the queen?
Is the Dog Emperor dreaming before he even goes to sleep?
Zuo Yexuan chuckled and leaned over to whisper a few words into Xiaotao's ear.
