The host did all these things such as humiliation, threats, provocation, poisoning, beatings, etc., and still wanted to increase the villain's favorability!
Unless the villain has some serious illness!!!
Of course, Heituanzi could only complain about this in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud.
Hearing this, Sheng Wu glanced at the person on the ground with a cold look in her eyes, and she curled her lips and smiled seductively.
His hostility suddenly subsided, his eyes were deep, and I don't know what he was thinking about.
Pei Yuqing's men were quick to take charge and escorted him away from the scene, out of the palace and back to his residence for treatment.
......
And here.
Xiao Luochen, regardless of everything, wrapped himself in a water-soaked quilt and quickly rushed into the mourning hall where many beams had been burned and ashes and charcoal were scattered everywhere.
“Ahem!”
He coughed lightly a few times, and saw flickering flames in front of his eyes. Waves of heat swept over him, and there was a strong smell of burning that was very pungent.
Xiao Luochen's sharp eagle eyes quickly scanned the mourning hall filled with the dazzling firelight, searching for someone.
"emperor!"
After he came in, his confidant also quickly rushed in with several secret guards.
"Quick, find Sheng Wu's body immediately and bring her out safely!"
"yes!"
Xiao Luochen summoned his inner strength and managed to hold his breath for a moment. Then, he quickly bypassed the outer room and headed deeper inside, searching everywhere for Sheng Wu's coffin.
The surrounding flames became increasingly dazzling and scorching, like a giant beast devouring everything, and even the air became thinner and thinner.
The hem of Xiao Luochen's dark purple dragon robe had been burnt a lot, and his face was no longer as clean and tidy as before, with black spots all over it.
The wet blanket he was wearing had already lost a lot of moisture, and it felt really uncomfortable.
However, Xiao Luochen's steps were steady but with a hint of panic. He was still looking around for something, his extremely dark eagle eyes were panicky and nervous. He knew that Sheng Wu was dead.
But he still prayed silently over and over in his heart.
Sheng Wu, this time, I'm here to save you. Please give me one last chance to atone for my sins, okay!
He was terrified, afraid that he would not be able to retain even the last bit of Sheng Wu's dignity.
"Your Majesty! The Queen Mother is here!"
Suddenly, his trusted secret guard shouted loudly.
Xiao Luochen also rushed over quickly, but the flames around him were clearly burning hot.
However, Xiao Luochen's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, cold to the extreme.
Because he clearly saw that Sheng Wu's coffin had been almost burned, and Sheng Wu's body had been burned beyond recognition!
At that moment, Xiao Luochen's hopeful heart was instantly shattered into pieces and he felt so painful!
His breathing stagnated, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he slowly raised his hand, wanting to confirm something, but.
But he didn't have the courage to really believe that she was Sheng Wu!
"Your Majesty! This mourning hall is about to collapse. We must get out quickly!"
Many of the beams around the house have fallen off.
Hearing this, Xiao Luochen's eyes flashed with forbearance, and then he immediately stepped forward and covered the charred corpse with his bedding, covering all traces of the body.
"Walk!"
After he finished speaking, he said nothing, with a gloomy and desolate face, holding the bedding, and quickly rushed out of the fire scene.
Of course, even if Xiao Luochen is the male protagonist, he cannot avoid being burned by some sparks.
After he carried the corpse, rushed out of the mourning hall, and came to the open space just now.
"emperor!"
"emperor!"
"The Emperor has come out safely. Someone, quickly call the imperial physician!"
However, Xiao Luochen glanced directly at his confidant, the commander of the Royal Guards who was already following him, and a gloomy voice emerged from his chest.
"Everyone guarding the mourning hall tonight will be imprisoned and severely tortured. How did the fire start? Why didn't anyone immediately move the Queen Mother? We must investigate everything thoroughly! If there is no explanation, all those guarding the mourning hall tonight will be executed!"
The emperor's majesty is awe-inspiring, and the strong imperial power oppresses no one, leaving them no chance to breathe.
Especially that one sentence that decided everyone's life and death ruthlessly made many people present feel cold.
"yes!"
"yes!"
The leader of the secret guards and the commander of the royal guards nodded in unison.
However, the palace maids and eunuchs who had just been desperately trying to put out the fire and were already trembling with fear for being implicated lowered their heads and turned pale when they heard this.
The body swayed, and they were in the prison. Once they were in the prison, would they still be able to come back alive?!
However, anyone could see that the emperor was in a very gloomy mood at the moment.
None of them dared to beg for mercy. They could only purse their lips and suppress the panic and despair in their hearts, and then they were all taken away.
Xiao Luochen lowered his head, his face shrouded in the darkness of the night, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
It makes people feel gloomy and suffocating, with a hint of sadness.
That night, almost the entire palace was in turmoil.
It was not the faint sounds of whipping and shrill wails coming from the inner court late at night.
The Royal Guards were searching everywhere for anything related to charcoal fire.
Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager's mourning hall was burned down tonight, and the Emperor's anger swept through the entire harem.
For a moment, people were in panic.
Moreover, everyone was also suspicious that the Emperor cared too much about the Empress Dowager.
Of course, the news that Pei Yuqing, the head of the Western Factory, was stabbed by the emperor because he tried to stop him from rushing into the fire scene also spread secretly.
But no one dared to comment.
