The fire seemed to burn into the eunuch's heart. His heart beat rapidly and his soul seemed to fly away.
"Someone come! Someone come, someone come quickly!"
The eunuch's sharp voice rang out rapidly in the dark night, and all the palace people were awakened in an instant.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty is still in the palace. Come with me to rescue His Majesty."
When they broke in, the fire was already burning.
When I came in, I found His Majesty sitting by the bed, holding the corpse, motionless.
"Your Majesty! Let us escort you out. The palace is on fire!"
Even at this time, Zhao Yun's expression did not change at all, as if he didn't care about the fire at all.
The eunuch's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Your Majesty set this fire?
The eunuch felt extremely depressed. He finally walked to the emperor's side, left the chief steward, and served the emperor closely.
If something happens to His Majesty, he will never be able to enjoy his current glory again.
Seeing that Zhao Yun still had no reaction, the eunuch became anxious and knelt directly in front of Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty, I will carry you out."
He looked at the raging fire outside, gritted his teeth, and was about to carry Zhao Yun on his back without waiting for his reaction.
Zhao Yun's eyes darkened, "Take her and the child out first."
When the eunuch heard Zhao Yun speak, he felt relieved.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. Your servants will protect Miss Xu and prevent anything from happening to them."
Protected by the servants, Zhao Yun was ultimately unharmed.
These servants who followed His Majesty also saved their lives.
A fire in the palace was not a big deal, but if it was a fire in His Majesty's bedroom, it would be a big deal.
After all, this involves His Majesty's safety.
The court officials were waiting outside the palace early in the morning.
"Liu Zongguan, how is His Majesty now?"
The young eunuch's surname is Liu, and he is now also respectfully called Liu Zongguan.
"Don't worry, my Lords, His Majesty is fine, and the fire has been put out."
Eunuch Liu's back was covered in sweat. With so many people surrounding him, he felt extremely pressured.
After all, His Majesty's condition was not very good, and what happened last night made him frightened.
Your Majesty is fine now, but who knows what will happen in the future?
He is His Majesty's servant, and he must not say a single word about anything His Majesty does not allow him to say.
But he was also worried that something might happen to His Majesty in the future.
These ministers will be the first to take action against him.
His head is now only temporarily hanging on his neck.
"Why is there a fire in the palace, and it happens to be your Majesty's bedroom? But someone is trying to murder your Majesty?"
The man's tone was extremely sharp.
"It was just an accident, don't worry, ministers."
Eunuch Liu took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"My lords, please return. If His Majesty summons you, I will invite you to the palace."
But such words were not enough to dismiss these officials.
"Liu Zongguan, could you please go in and tell them that this matter concerns the safety of His Majesty? Furthermore, His Majesty has not attended court for several days. As subjects, we should be loyal to the emperor and love our country. Only when we see His Majesty in person can we rest assured."
The person who spoke was Minister Lin, who had been reprimanded by His Majesty before because of the issue of the Lin family's daughter being made queen.
I thought the matter had been settled, but seeing Minister Lin's expression now, I guess he must have heard something.
“This…?”
Eunuch Liu pretended to be embarrassed. "Your Majesty couldn't sleep because of the fire yesterday. Now that Your Majesty is resting, how can I report it?"
Eunuch Liu made up an excuse.
His Majesty now just holds the corpse all day long, in a daze, basically not seeing anyone, and has not even dealt with state affairs for several days.
He can still hide it now, but I'm afraid that after some time, he won't be able to hide it any longer.
When Eunuch Liu thought about these things, he felt worried and afraid.
"How about you all return home for now? When His Majesty wakes up, I will convey your requests to His Majesty. What do you think?"
Now that things have come to this, what else can they do? Should they wake His Majesty up from his bed?
"Then we'll come back tomorrow."
Only after temporarily sending these people away did Eunuch Liu breathe a sigh of relief.
The thought of going in and talking about these things with His Majesty made Eunuch Liu's heart pound again.
He walked in cautiously and told His Majesty everything that had happened outside the palace.
But Zhao Yun still didn't respond.
Just when Eunuch Liu thought there would be no reply.
Zhao Yun said, "I'll go to court tomorrow."
Eunuch Liu thought he had misheard and his eyes widened.
After realizing what the emperor said, Eunuch Liu was delighted.
"Yes, yes. I'll pass it on right away."
Eunuch Liu didn't dare to show any joy, but only he knew that at this moment his heart was finally at ease.
The anxiety I had felt these days was finally relieved a little today.
Your Majesty's willingness to attend court may mean that you have come to terms with it.
"Yier, I will definitely give you a name! I will also give our child a name."
Zhao Yun is not an impulsive person, and he did not intend to commit suicide last night.
Although he had lost hope after Xu Lingyi's death.
He accidentally knocked over the candlestick last night.
But Zhao Yun just watched coldly. He did not try to put out the fire, nor did he react at all.
He just thought it was all God's will, maybe Xu Lingyi also wanted him to go down and accompany her and the child.
When Eunuch Liu rushed in, Zhao Yun had no intention of leaving.
He thought it was fine to leave it like this.
But when he thought about what Xu Lingyi had said before, that she wanted to be his wife, he felt that this was not possible.
If they are going to die, at least we should take care of their affairs after death.
