「Ahhh, it really is my mother’s palace that’s on fire! There’s flames outside!」
[Mom, wake up quickly, there's a fire outside. If it continues, it will reach our bed.]
Feng Wanwan kicked her legs in panic, screaming.
When I looked up, I was met with a pair of bright and beautiful eyes.
I was stunned for a moment.
[Mother, she's actually awake. And judging by the way she looks, she doesn't look like she just woke up. It's more like... she's been awake all this time.]
"My Lady, the fire has already started. Can we make a noise now?"
Suzhi's low voice sounded beside the bed, filled with anxiety.
Concubine Hua slowly stood up, put on the clothes Suzhi had given her, and nodded.
"Well, the fire is almost out. It's time for us to go out. However, tell Zhu Yinghuai to put out the fire later."
"Yes, my lady, please watch your step."
Suzhi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately supported Concubine Hua and carried Feng Wanwan out.
Only after several people stood still outside the hall did Suzhi gesture to Zhu Yinghuai in the distance.
Zhu Yinghuai then let out a scream.
"There's a fire! There's a fire in the Yikun Palace! Quick, quick! Save the Imperial Concubine!"
The team of young eunuchs who had been well prepared with buckets of water immediately followed suit and shouted.
“Here it comes!”
"The fire has spread to the Imperial Concubine's bedroom. Hurry, put out the fire!"
"Notify the guards outside, and quickly inform the emperor!"
This group of people were shouting very loudly and moving around very noisily, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger.
Zhu Yinghuai rushed over and shouted.
"Master, the news has already reached the Yangxin Palace."
"Yeah, not bad."
Concubine Hua nodded.
Then he tapped his finger into the pile of wood ash in his palm and drew a few strokes on Feng Wanwan's face.
Suzhi also dipped some wood ash in it and drew a few lines on Concubine Hua's face.
It looks like a little tabby cat.
No, it looks like a little gray cat.
Not long after, there was a loud noise outside.
"The Emperor has arrived."
"Lan'er!"
Feng Yinzhen hadn't even put on his clothes yet, only a cloak covering his face, revealing his bright yellow pajamas underneath, as he ran over quickly.
Without saying anything, he hugged Concubine Hua in his arms and held her tightly.
"Lan'er, I made you suffer!"
"I am fine, but I am sorry to have caused His Majesty to worry."
Concubine Hua was wrapped in the man's arms, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she replied in a low voice.
[Ouch! Be gentle, you big pig! You almost crushed me again!]
"You still know how much we're suffering here! If you really cared about us, you shouldn't have put us under house arrest without any reason!"
Although Feng Wanwan was squeezed a bit, it did not affect her scolding Feng Yinzhen at all.
At this moment, another message was heard.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
A sedan chair quickly entered the Yiku Palace, and the empress dowager hurriedly got out of the sedan chair, still holding Buddhist beads in her hand.
"What's going on? Why did the fire start out of nowhere? Are the imperial concubine and the little princess okay?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I almost thought I would never see Your Majesty again in this life... Wuwuwu, I'm so angry, Lan'er is so scared."
Concubine Hua, who had just been talking to Feng Yinzhen in a relaxed manner, now looked like a child who had suffered grievances and fear, sobbing in Feng Yinzhen's arms.
She raised her face, and her beautiful face was covered with wood ash and tears, clearly like a poor little kitten that had just crawled out of the fire.
Feng Yinzhen was heartbroken when he saw this.
"It's my fault. I didn't take good care of Lan'er. She suffered so much injustice. I will definitely seek justice for her!"
[No, what are you doing? You were all so calm just now, why are you so…]
[Isn't Mother acting again? And judging from the looks of it, it seems like these two are acting for the Queen Mother.]
Feng Wanwan, lying in Concubine Hua's arms, saw the expressions of both of them clearly, and the original guess in her heart surfaced again.
Concubine Hua and Feng Yinzhen both had frozen faces: Baby can’t hide anything from him.
But both of them are veteran actors, their faces just froze for a moment, and then they quickly returned to their original expressions.
Concubine Hua wiped away her tears, making her face even redder, but with red eyes she struggled to break free from Feng Yinzhen's arms and bowed to the empress dowager.
"Madam, it's my fault. What happened tonight disturbed you and prevented you from getting a good rest. It's all my fault."
"Good boy, stop talking now and call the doctor to take a look. Are you hurt anywhere?"
The Queen Mother quickly helped Concubine Hua up, but her sharp eyes swept across her face.
Several people immediately went into the side hall of the Yiku Palace where Concubine Chun lived to rest for a while.
Imperial Physician Wen Shichu hurried over, gave Concubine Hua and Feng Wanwan a thorough examination, and then bowed to report.
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, although the Imperial Concubine and the little princess did not suffer any superficial injuries, they were seriously frightened. Moreover, the Imperial Concubine has been unhappy and deeply worried for some time.
I need you to prescribe some medicine to calm your nerves and nourish your body, and you must also rest well."
"Okay, then prescribe the medicine quickly, and use only good medicine."
Feng Yinzhen gave orders immediately.
Su Pusen brought out the pen and ink, and Wen Shichu began to write a prescription on the table below.
At this time, Chun Yanxiang Fu Yuanchun, who had been recuperating in the palace for the past few days, slowly walked out and paid her respects to the Queen Mother and Feng Yinzhen.
