Gongyi Qingjun ordered not to disturb the empress, but without her order, the female soldiers who took over the palace bypassed this place, and a vacuum area was formed around the Wude Hall.
Song Sanniang knew that after today, Gongyi Qingjun would take action against the empress. Although it could not be considered a reckoning, the outcome would probably not be very good.
At the very least, she will be sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, which is equivalent to being under house arrest there for the rest of her life. At the worst, she will probably be given a decent death at the appropriate time.
However, based on her understanding of Gongyi Qingjun, it is most likely the former.
A living emperor emeritus plays a greater role than a dead one, and it also demonstrates Gongyi Qingjun's kindness. Otherwise, he would be charged with matricide, which would have an impact on his reputation.
After coming out of the Wude Hall, Gongyi Qingjun looked up at the dark sky and said, "It's getting late. Everyone must be tired. Let's set up camp and rest first."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of the people present finally settled down. It was not until their bodies relaxed as well that they realized that they had been on edge the entire day.
After relaxing, fatigue and sleepiness also come to you.
Fortunately, there was enough space in the palace, not to mention anything else. For example, the open space in front of the Wude Gate was where ministers stood during court sessions and grand ceremonies, and it was just enough to accommodate them.
It didn't take long to set up the tents one by one, and soon there was no other sound except the footsteps of the patrolling female soldiers.
The tent was filled with the sound of even breathing...
What they didn't expect was that a panicked scream suddenly came in the middle of the night. The moment the sound appeared, Gongyi Qingjun opened her eyes, quickly put on her coat and left the tent.
As soon as she left the tent, the noisy sounds around her reached her ears, and she quickly grasped the key information.
"It's on fire! Hurry up and put it out!" "The Wude Hall is on fire!"
The Wude Hall is on fire and the Queen is still inside!
Gongyi Qingjun immediately grabbed the panicked female soldier beside him and asked, "How is the Wude Hall now?"
The female soldier spoke tremblingly, "It was discovered by the sisters on patrol, and someone has already brought people to put out the fire."
Next to her was Gongyi Qingshu. He was in poor health. After a day of high pressure, he felt a little uncomfortable both mentally and physically. So after entering the tent, he fell asleep quickly. He was just awakened by the increasingly chaotic noise outside.
He also heard what the female soldier said, Wude Hall is on fire! ?
"What about the people inside? Have they come out yet?"
The female soldier shook her head hesitantly.
Gongyi Qingjun said nothing, let go of the hand that was holding the female soldier's clothes, looked in the direction of the fire, left a message to Gongyi Qingshu to wait for her there, and rushed to the Wude Hall.
Gongyi Qingshu did not listen to his sister this time and followed her to the Wude Hall. However, he also knew that he was not in good health, so he hid in the corner and looked anxiously at the palace in front of him which was on fire.
Gongyi Qingjun almost ran to the Wude Hall, and the first thing she saw was the palace that was burning fiercely, surrounded by female soldiers who were hurriedly pouring water to put out the fire.
However, when the palace was built, there were no wells around the Wude Hall, so they could only draw water from the well in the harem. The water they drew was time-consuming and was not as much as the water burned by the fire.
Gongyi Qingjun was so anxious that she snatched the bucket from the hand of a female soldier passing by her and rushed towards the well behind her.
When she returned to Wude Hall with a bucket of water, the fire was already half out. She did not give up and poured a full bucket of water into the fire, but it was just a drop in the bucket.
When she turned around in a daze and was about to continue fetching water, a figure blocked her way.
Gongyi Qingjun looked up and saw Song Sanniang looking at her with a smile, carrying a person on her shoulders. Her pupils dilated, and with a "bang", the empty bucket fell to the ground.
Song Sanniang saw with her own eyes that Gongyi Qingjun in front of her looked at her in a daze and then rushed towards her in a panic. Fortunately, Gongyi Qingjun still had some rationality and finally braked and stopped in front of her.
Gongyi Qingjun felt his legs were a little weak, and put his right hand on Song Sanniang's left shoulder, "Sanniang, you."
Song Sanniang put the person on her shoulders to the ground. Although she really wanted to throw her directly to the ground, she considered that she had just choked on a cigarette, and if she fell again and got hurt, her rescue would be in vain.
"Surprised? Unexpected?!"
Gongyi Qingjun looked at Song Sanniang with some amusement as she pointed at the person on the ground. In order to let her see who the person was at a glance, she even turned her over.
After seeing the face clearly, Gongyi Qingjun was not surprised. Although she didn't want to admit it, she recognized that this was her "quiet" mother from the back.
As her back was facing the fire, people couldn't see the expression on her face. After a while, she spoke and asked someone to help the empress to a side hall in the harem. The military doctor in the team first took her pulse.
"Your Highness, the... Queen is fine. She probably inhaled some smoke from the fire, which is why she fell unconscious."
After hearing the military doctor's words, Song Sanniang touched her nose guiltily.
It seems that she was the one who caused the Queen to fall into a coma.
Gong Yichen on the side had been patient for a long time. Now that he heard that the queen was fine, he stopped paying attention to her. He turned around and looked at Song Sanniang with a stern face, taking in her expression and movements.
Thinking about this, he frowned and held back his smile. How come this person doesn't know how to hide her feelings? Others can tell what she is thinking at a glance.
But this wasn't a big deal. In his eyes, the more serious thing was that she actually rushed into the sea of fire to save people alone! !
He really wanted to give her a good beating. She was really desperate. Could she possibly break into a fire? Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise...
Gong Yichen suppressed the dark thoughts in his heart, pulled Song Sanniang over with a cold face, took out a handkerchief from somewhere, and carefully wiped the dust off Song Sanniang's face.
Song Sanniang stood there awkwardly, and as Gong Yichen moved, she felt her face indeed became much more refreshed.
Soon, a clean handkerchief turned into a black rag.
Song Sanniang looked at this scene with some horror.
Is this handkerchief still usable? He was the first to make the move, so Gong Yichen shouldn't be angry.
Unexpectedly, Gong Yichen threw the handkerchief away, then took out a new one and wiped her again, but this time he didn't throw it away.
Suddenly, a voice came from beside her, and Song Sanniang realized that Gongyi Qingjun was standing beside her with great interest, and she didn't know how long he had been watching.
"Sanniang's little face is clean now."
Song Sanniang’s tender face turned red (108 dissatisfied: How shameless, it’s obviously an old face).
"When did you become so close?"
Gongyi Qingjun raised her voice, with a hint of teasing.
Song Sanniang changed the subject as if nothing had happened.
