Chapter 78 Redemption
Cheng Nianying quickly took off her coat and tried to put out the flames on her body, but it was useless.
Tongues of flame soon followed and swallowed up her coat.
Cheng Nianying was unable to shrink back and was burned by the flames.
"Come back!" Fu Yi's face darkened.
But it was obvious that Cheng Nianying couldn't hear it.
Fu Yi raised his voice, a rare occurrence, and sternly said, "Why don't you quickly get some water to put out the fire? Are you all just wooden stakes?"
The emperor also urged: "Go quickly!"
The imperial guards immediately took action.
There was a large vat in the yard that collected water from the sky. They soaked their clothes in the water and rushed towards the door.
Even Fu Yi moved. As he walked over there, he said to the people around him, "Get some soil. Use soil to put out the fire."
The emperor's face darkened, and he called out from behind, "Huai Yan! Huai Yan, what are you doing there? You can't put out the fire!"
Someone went over to open the gate and called people outside to come in to put out the fire.
There was chaos inside and outside.
The sounds of footsteps and shouting were mixed together, and Wei Yanhua's roar was almost inaudible.
Cheng Nianying just felt very hot.
Her skin was burned red and her eyes hurt, as if something was sliding out of her eye sockets and quickly evaporated into steam.
She tried to take off Jiang's coat.
But it was too late.
Jiang was still lying there, looking at her with a gaze, without even a trace of pain on her face.
Yes, earlier Cheng Nianying had used silver needles to temporarily seal her painful acupoints.
Cheng Nianying met her eyes in the dancing flames.
Her chest felt like it had been hit hard.
Sour, numb and pungent in the nose.
Immediately afterwards, she was grabbed by the waist from behind and walked out of the room. Cheng Nianying struggled, but her arms were held tightly, and then another piece of clothing was stripped off her.
The water splashed up, almost soaking her and the person behind her at the same time.
"Are you trying to kill yourself?" the person behind him asked.
Cheng Nianying turned her head and her forehead hit the other person's chin.
She raised her eyes again and finally took in Fu Yi's appearance.
"She..." Cheng Nianying just started.
Fu Yi held her and took two steps back, letting others hurried forward. As the figures passed by, the expression on his face changed continuously.
"If a burned person is rescued, he will only suffer for a few days and eventually die from skin ulceration. It would be better for you to let her die so that she will never suffer again." Fu Yi said quickly.
If others hear this, they might think it is a bit inhumane.
But Cheng Nianying slowly came back to her senses, she knew...what the prince said was right.
At this time, Wu Xun rushed over with a big bag in his arms.
He opened his big bag and dirt fell down, covering the flames.
Cheng Nianying turned her face away and almost snuggled up with Fu Yi as they walked backwards down the stairs.
Wait until they are returned to the hospital.
The emperor came over almost immediately and asked, "What's the matter?"
Fu Yi lowered his head and coughed twice: "Nothing, just choked on the cigarette."
"That jade-like face..."
Fu Yi let go of Cheng Nianying and immediately took off his coat and put it on her.
Cheng Nianying lowered her head and looked at Wei Yanhua in a daze.
Wei Yanhua knelt on the ground, the veins on her neck bulging, her face frozen in an extremely stiff expression.
Cheng Nianying didn't know what to say. She moved her lips and whispered, "It's too late."
Wei Yanhua didn't say anything.
The people from the Palace Front Department were still guarding her.
She simply stretched out her hand through the gap, grabbed Cheng Nianying's fingertips, and touched the place on the back of her hand that was burned by the fire.
The belated pain slowly crept up Cheng Nianying's skin. She could endure the pain very well, but her hand instinctively twitched slightly.
Wei Yanhua immediately retracted her hand and stood still with a blank face.
The emperor saw this and frowned, "Yurong's hand is injured? Quick! Go find a doctor!"
"Yes, yes." The eunuch who was accompanying him crawled to look for someone.
Fu Yi grabbed Cheng Nianying's hand and raised it up.
Large blisters quickly formed on the burned areas, and some of them broke open, turning into hideous scarlet wounds.
But Cheng Nianying herself didn't seem to care much, she was just a little dazed.
But the more she acted as if she didn't care, the more the people around her unconsciously frowned.
"Get some ice first!" Fu Yi's voice was slightly cold.
"The Wei family doesn't have it, I'm afraid we have to go somewhere else to get it..." The imperial guards were embarrassed.
How could the Wei family afford to chisel ice and store it?
Wu Xun ran back: "Then I'll go!"
Fu Yi immediately ordered: "Then get clean cold water to rinse."
Wei Xing finally found his voice: "...Your Majesty, Your Majesty has also seen that my wife often causes such troubles.
"Today he just went crazy again. Not only did he harm the princess, he almost hurt His Majesty. My father wanted to send her to the temple, and he really cared about her..."
After hearing this, Wei Yanhua stopped arguing with her father angrily.
She still had a wooden expression.
It was Cheng Nianying who spoke up: "She is not crazy."
"What the Princess said..."
Cheng Nianying whispered, "She told me that if she wasn't holding her back, Wei Yanhua wouldn't have made any mistakes."
Wei Yanhua's body swayed.
Wei Xing also lost his voice and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
The emperor sighed helplessly, "This love for her son..." He looked at Wei Yanhua, "Your mother's protection of you should be considered as redemption for your mistakes."
Wei Yanhua kowtowed with a wooden face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Cheng Nianying unconsciously clenched her fingertips.
The wound was pulled and her fingers twitched unnaturally again.
Fu Yi pushed her to sit on the chair, pinched a strand of hair by her ear, and said in a lukewarm tone: "It's burnt."
Cheng Nianying lowered her head and listened to the sound of water rushing over her skin that had not yet broken.
"Your Majesty!" Someone came running from a distance, his face was pale, but because of running all the way, two red spots appeared on his cheeks, which looked extremely strange. Combined with his surprised expression, everyone present fell silent again.
All I could hear was him say, "When we went to Tianguang Temple, someone attempted to set fire to it. Fortunately, it was put out in time... We have made a great discovery. This is a matter of great importance. Please... please, Your Majesty, please move."
