"Bang-bang-bang-bang-"

“Crackle—crackle—biu—biu—biu—”

The flames shot up into the sky, as if they were going to engulf the sky. In addition to the sounds of houses burning and collapsing, there were also bursts of firecrackers being set off and exploding from time to time.

But in the next moment, golden arcs rose into the sky, exploding clusters of brilliant fireworks in the air.

A sea of ​​​​fire and silver flowers instantly enveloped half of the city, making the gray sky look like daytime.

Then it turned into golden raindrops, falling all over the place. Then it was replaced by the next batch of fireworks that shot into the sky...

Sheng Yichen's pupils were shocked, and he almost knocked Sheng Nanxi to the ground looking at such a weird scene.

Li Zhenyi was also shocked, but she did not forget to support the old princess Bai Xiuyu who sat up in shock.

The eldest brother Sheng Yuhan and Yun Jin were also stunned, staring in shock at a place in the city where black smoke and fireworks were coming out.

Sheng Yichen looked at the fire, then at Sheng Nanxi. He was so surprised that he stuttered. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he asked in a low voice:

"Little sister, did you do this?"

"Yes! It's a surprise Xi'er prepared for you!"

Sheng Nanxi waved her chubby little hand proudly, looking like a domineering president.

Looking at Sheng Yichen's shocked expression, she felt inexplicably guilty.

It shouldn't be a big deal for her to blow up the palace, right?

Wouldn't it be possible to...scare his brother into this state?

However, the next moment, Sheng Nanxi saw her brother admiring the fireworks in the sky with great satisfaction, and he snorted as if he was not satisfied yet:

"Hmm...it's pretty nice."

"But little sister! You are burning the Qiulu Palace, right? If you light a fire in the Qiulu Palace, at most it will affect a few remote palaces nearby, and it won't have any effect!"

"According to me, you should burn down the council hall. Let those useless officials go to court in the heavy snow today! Hehe~"

Nancy Sheng: !!!

The little girl was very angry, she raised her chubby little hand and hit the third brother's face that could dazzle thousands of girls.

This is really easy to talk without any back pain!

Is it so easy to marry into the Imperial Palace Council?!

The place was heavily guarded, with people coming and going. She was probably discovered just as she was getting her things ready.

Not to mention there's no chance of ignition!

"Ouch! Ouch! Sister, be gentle! I, your brother, rely on this handsome face to make a living!"

After Sheng Yichen finished speaking, he proudly waved the big package behind him towards her. His tone was very proud:

"Look! If it weren't for your brother's outstanding talent and appearance, we would have to endure so much suffering in this exile!"

Nancy Sheng: ...

As a result, Sheng Yichen was only showing off for less than a second before he was slapped in the face.

Then came the angry roar of Princess Qin: "Stinky little bastard, did you bully your sister?!"

"Mom! I'm not mad! How could I possibly bully her!"

Sheng Yichen thought, my little sister is a fairy brother! How can I bully the little fairy? It's good enough if the little fairy doesn't bully him!

But he couldn't reveal his little sister's secret. He could only cover his head and beg for mercy.

"You little brat! You didn't bully Xier, so why did she hit you?! If I see your sister pouting again, don't blame me for hitting you!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Mom, I won't dare to do it again!"

Sheng Yichen was only stopped after being slapped by Princess Qin.

The whole process was extremely comfortable, and Sheng Nancy was laughing so hard.

Although they had to live in exile for a while, the family was actually quite happy together.

The fireworks over there were still going 'bang bang bang', as if they were going to explode into the sky.

The convicts and police officers all looked confused and stared at the flames rising into the sky.

Li Feihu, the captain, looked at the sun that was about to rise above the horizon. He had no choice but to suppress his doubts and urge everyone to get on the road.

The people at the city gate holding their passes and preparing to enter the city could not help but discuss in a low voice:

"What's going on? It's not a solar term. Why are there so many fireworks?"

"Alas! Haven't those big guys done a lot of ridiculous things? Especially the one in the palace. I heard that he has been acting more and more recklessly recently... For the sake of a smile from a Pomeranian, he actually made her tear up thousands of pieces of silk and even dressed himself up as a beggar just to please her..."

"Tsk tsk...Look at this scene, maybe that person is having fun in various ways..."

"Stop talking! Do you want to die?!"

The person who was whispering was actually the little emperor Xiao Tianqi, who had ignored state affairs for many years.

It is said that he has recently fallen in love with Princess Sogui, and has done many absurd things to please her.

When the people saw the fireworks filling the sky and lighting up almost half of the capital, they subconsciously thought that the little emperor was trying to please his favorite concubine.

But 놋그 found something wrong and questioned in a low voice:

"Oh, that's not the case! There's so much smoke and dust over there, it looks like a fire!"

"Yes! That place is like a cold palace! No one lives there all year round, how could a fire happen out of nowhere?!"

"Alas! What a bad year... It has been snowing heavily in the territory of Southern Qi for half a month. The cold wave is raging and the people are living in misery. Now the imperial palace has been burned down..."

"As the old saying goes, if the king is unjust, disasters will come from heaven... Oh... I won't say it anymore... How can ordinary people like us discuss national affairs?"

“…”

The people were evasive in their words, but in fact everyone knew that the politics of Southern Qi had long been in chaos.

Now, several good officials who truly serve the country and the people have been removed from office. In the future, the situation of the people of Southern Qi will probably be even more difficult...

For a moment, Suo's heart seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark clouds that lingered for a long time.

…

Time goes back to a quarter of an hour ago.

In a luxurious palace three miles away from the capital, the young emperor Xiao Tianqi was drinking to excess with Concubine Zhao Gui all night long.

There was singing and dancing in the grand palace, but the dancers were not ordinary dancers, but ordinary people.

These young and old, their dancing is not very coordinated.

Although their faces were filled with festive smiles, it was not difficult to find that deep in their brows and eyes, they all hid deep humiliation.

The little emperor drank the glass of wine in one gulp and raised his beautiful and delicate chin frivolously.

"My dear, are you happy today?"

"You said you wanted to see these ordinary people dance, so I had them all tied up. Look, how can I compare to my love for you?"

The beauty leaned softly in the little emperor's arms, as if she didn't believe what he said. She asked with seductive eyes:

"Really? Your Majesty is really willing to give me everything? Then... Your Majesty, are you willing to accompany me to watch the stars?"

"Well... just me and the Emperor~"

The last sentence seemed to have a hook at the end, which made me feel lost and my imagination ran wild.

"Hey~ As long as my beloved concubine likes it, I will accompany you to do anything~"

The little emperor was so drunk that his head was not clear. He waved away the dancers below and came to the high platform with the support of Concubine Zhaogui.

"My beloved, God can see how much I love you. Let alone watching the stars with you, why not just pick a star for you?"

The little emperor was talking nonsense with his tongue wagging. But Concubine Zhao Gui seemed to take it seriously and leaned on him like a boneless person.

"You...you are not fooling me?"

"Oh! How could I lie to you?! Just wait, I'll pick one for you to see!"

The little emperor was so drunk that he was dizzy and could not even stand steadily. However, he pushed Consort Zhao Gui away from his arms and climbed up the railing of the high platform.

This platform is about 30 meters away from the ground. If I fall down, I will be disabled, or close to it.

Seeing the little emperor really climbing up, Concubine Zhao Gui's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and she was about to stretch out her hand to push him down,

But I heard a burst of explosions in the distance!

The little emperor was frightened. He stopped climbing the railing and laughed foolishly at the fireworks and fire in the distance:

"Yoyoyo! Whose house is on fire? The stored fireworks and firecrackers have also been lit!"

"Hahaha! The fireworks illuminate half the city! It's really spectacular! My beloved, don't you love to see these strange things? Come and enjoy this worldly spectacle with me!"

"Hahaha! Xiaoshun, go ask whose house this is? Tell him and I'll take over his house!"

"Tell him to buy some more fireworks! My beloved wife and I love to watch them!"
