"What did you say!"
Sheng Wu, she is still inside!
Hearing this, Xiao Luochen's pupils trembled, his eyes suddenly froze in panic, and his hands loosened subconsciously, and the eunuch suddenly fell to the ground with weak legs.
Xiao Luochen's mind was buzzing as he watched the group of people around him frantically fetching water to put out the fire, especially when he saw the raging fire and the flames in the sky that seemed to illuminate the night in the mourning hall.
Even from more than ten meters away, one could still feel the scorching heat of the flames.
The surrounding noise dissipated in an instant.
Shengwu, Shengwu hasn't come out yet.
Even if it was just a cold corpse.
His face turned pale, Xiao Luochen's breath choked, and he stood there in a daze. Suddenly, he felt as if his ears were ringing and his heart was aching.
What conspiracy, what rationality, what suspicion.
Forget all of that at this moment.
His extremely dark pupils trembled violently, and his lavender figure moved.
The people around him were so frightened that their faces changed and they quickly intercepted him.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot do this! You are the Son of Heaven, and the Empress Dowager has passed away. You are bringing shame upon the country and its people by doing this!"
"Someone, stop the emperor!"
Xiao Luochen was seen rushing towards the flame-filled mourning hall regardless of anything, trying to rescue Sheng Wu's body!
When she was alive, he didn't believe her, scolded her, and ignored her.
Now that she is dead, he can't lose even the last bit of her dignity!
Moreover, she wanted to be buried with him!
Sheng Wu, this time, I will bet everything I have to save you!
"Get out of here!"
Seeing that those people were trying to stop him, Xiao Luochen, whose pupils were already bloodshot and eyes were misty and panicked, kicked those people away quickly like an angry beast.
Rush towards the fire.
But just as he was about to rush into the fire.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for the offense. Please put the country first!"
A hand suddenly grabbed Xiao Luochen's shoulder and stopped him.
This figure was none other than Pei Yuqing, who had been watching in the dark for a long time.
Sure enough, Xiao Luochen came back!
However, he didn't expect that Xiao Luochen would not ask someone to put out the fire, but would rush in himself to rescue the dead body of Sheng Wu!
He actually loved Sheng Wu to such an extent.
On the contrary, I underestimated Sheng Wu's methods!
"Get out of here!"
Hearing the sound, Xiao Luochen immediately turned his head and stared at Pei Yuqing with his sharp eagle eyes. He suddenly moved to open Pei Yuqing's arm.
Upon hearing this, Pei Yuqing's expression remained as cold as ever, as if he didn't feel anything at all. He just continued to stand in front of Xiao Luochen.
The feminine and beautiful face was illuminated by the firelight. One eye was dark and deep, while the other eye was as evil and sinister as blood.
Although he seemed respectful, there was no respect in his eyes.
The tone is somewhat feminine and cool, neither cold nor hot.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has passed away. Risking your life going in will be futile. You are the Son of Heaven, the one most revered by the people of the world. You should prioritize the greater good."
It’s not that he was afraid that Xiao Luochen would not be able to come out alive, but...
I was afraid that he would come out alive holding the unburned body!
Then all the efforts will be wasted!
After all, the coroner can still determine how long the body has been burning.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Luochen watched the flames grow brighter and brighter, until he could no longer see the inside of the mourning hall. He panicked and drew out the sword of the guard beside him.
"Get out of my way!"
Now, he no longer cares about flattering Pei Yuqing, the treacherous eunuch!
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry!"
Pei Yuqing knew that he was eager to rush in, and seeing him draw his sword against him, and his reasons were justified, he didn't care at all.
He drew the sword from his waist.
The late emperor allowed him to carry weapons to protect him.
Seeing this, Xiao Luochen narrowed his eagle eyes with murderous intent.
"Pei Yuqing, you dare to disobey the imperial order. I will kill you now!"
"Your Majesty, I am doing this for you and for the sake of the country. As long as Your Majesty does not go in, even if Your Majesty wants to punish me, I will have no complaints."
Pei Yuqing lowered his eyes slightly, his amber peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, showing a firm attitude that would not be persuaded.
The handsome face with a hint of femininity was dimly lit.
Of course, this is just talk.
If Xiao Luochen really punished him for this matter, not only would his own party object, he would not be able to stop the people of the world from talking about it.
Maybe he will even be labeled a tyrant.
"Okay, I'll see how you dare to stop me!"
Seeing this, Xiao Luochen's displeasure towards him had accumulated a lot since the time when he was the prince. Now, in order to save Sheng Wu's body, he had to immediately defeat Pei Yuqing!
He said no more, quickly took the sword, and moved towards Pei Yuqing.
Every move is a killing move, without mercy!
Pei Yuqing also quickly pushed away, holding the sword, seemingly retreating from Xiao Luochen, but inadvertently delivering a fatal blow.
The sinister peach blossom eyes were half-closed, cold and dark.
"Your Majesty, please stop fighting. It's more important to put out the fire!"
The two men fought evenly, and the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs quickly retreated. The chief steward was extremely worried and wanted to step forward to persuade them, but
I'm also afraid that my life will be lost in vain!
Seeing this, he could only sigh deeply, and then quickly arranged for people to continue putting out the fire.
Even though Xiao Luochen heard the persuasion of the people around him and wanted to rush in to put out the fire, Pei Yuqing stopped him, so he could only deal with him first.
The imperial guards around were in a dilemma. After all, they didn't want the emperor to risk his life to save people from the fire.
