In the pitch-black sky, several golden lightning bolts were flickering in the air.
It looked as if it was going to tear the night sky apart.
"Could it be... Ma Chengye is praying for rain?"
Xiao Yunzhan looked at the lightning in the sky and frowned in confusion.
Praying for rain in Xiliang Kingdom so that lightning could be seen on his side, only Ma Chengye could do it.
However, isn’t it a bit too dedicated to pray for rain on New Year’s Eve?
"boom!!"
“Sizzle, sizzle!!”
Just as Xiao Yunzhan was thinking, a loud noise was heard in the sky.
A tiny flash of lightning shot out from the night sky and headed straight for Xiao Yunzhan.
Xiao Yunzhan, who was looking up at the sky, saw this scene and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock.
His first reaction was to run out quickly.
He knew that Emperor Wu of Liang was struck by lightning, causing the imperial study to be reduced to ashes.
My goodness, does that mean everyone who becomes emperor will be struck by lightning?
Xiao Yunzhan used all his strength and rushed out of the yard in the blink of an eye.
The moment he fell into the yard, two tiny bolts of lightning shot out from the sky and headed straight for him.
"boom!!"
Accompanied by a violent roar, Xiao Yunzhan was struck by a bolt of lightning and was stuck straight outside the yard.
"Old Four!!!"
Old Madam Xiao, who was sitting facing the yard, witnessed the whole process, shouted in panic, and was about to run out.
It all happened so quickly that by the time she ran out of the yard, the thunder and lightning in the sky had already disappeared.
"You two are not allowed to come out."
Zheng Yunyun looked outside the yard anxiously. After giving some instructions to the two children, she quickly ran out behind Yao Wenhong.
How could my fourth brother be struck by lightning?
What is going on?
Yao Wenhong was extremely panicked. Her fourth brother disappeared after running out of the yard.
She saw two lightning bolts striking outside the yard. Could it be that they struck her fourth brother?
Yao Wenhong held her breath and ran out desperately.
"Old...Fourth!!"
Old Madam Xiao rushed out of the yard, looked at the figure standing at the gate, and called out cautiously.
"Puff~"
Xiao Yunzhan opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of smoke, but the tingling sensation all over his body had not yet dissipated.
He felt as if his body was not his own, and it felt numb as if many small needles were poking him.
Maybe because he had thick skin, he didn't feel any particular pain.
"Mom, I'm... fine!"
"Bang!"
As soon as Xiao Yunzhan finished speaking, his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.
"Old Four!!!"
Old Madam Xiao's pupils trembled, and her heart instantly rose to her throat.
She ran to Xiao Yunzhan with her hands and feet together, and tears streamed down her face as she lowered her head.
"Old Four..."
Old Madam Xiao shouted in a trembling voice, her hands tremblingly hanging on Xiao Yunzhan's face, and she didn't dare to let go.
Yao Wenhong rushed out of the yard and saw Old Madam Xiao squatting on the ground and trembling.
She looked carefully and saw that the person lying in front of her mother could only be her fourth brother.
“Fourth brother!!”
Yao Wenhong rushed over in two steps, swallowed nervously, took a deep breath, and raised her trembling hands to cover Xiao Yunzhan's chest.
After feeling the strong heartbeat of Xiao Yunzhan's chest, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's still a heartbeat, so he should be fine."
Yao Wenhong glanced at Old Madam Xiao and said this in a trembling voice.
It seemed like she was comforting Old Madam Xiao, but also comforting herself.
God knows how scared she was when she rushed out and saw her fourth brother fall down, and heard her mother's crying voice.
If my fourth brother was struck to death by lightning during the New Year, it would be a disaster if the news got out.
Those forces that were suppressed by them will surely start to become restless again.
Fortunately, my fourth brother's heartbeat was still strong, so he must have just fainted.
Emperor Wu of Liang was struck by lightning and survived, so there is no reason why his fourth brother would die after being struck by lightning.
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, her heart, which had been in her throat, slowly relaxed a little.
“It’s good to have energy, it’s good to have energy…”
As long as there is breath, there is hope.
"Fourth brother, what's wrong?!"
Zheng Yunyun ran out of the yard in panic. Her panicked eyes made her dare not look at Xiao Yunzhan lying on the ground. She could only look at Yao Wenhong nervously.
Her hand unconsciously touched her neck.
I kept comforting myself in my heart.
It's okay, she has the resurrection elixir given by her fourth brother's wife. As long as her fourth brother's body is intact, he can be saved.
Yao Wenhong glanced at Zheng Yunyun and said, "It's okay, she just fainted."
Zheng Yunyun let out a long sigh and looked down at Xiao Yunzhan, "Let's carry our fourth brother into the house first."
She looked up and around.
Fortunately, there was no one around the Cining Palace.
Tonight is New Year's Eve. My mother sent all the palace maids and eunuchs away early and asked them to go back and stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.
There were only a few of them in the Cining Palace tonight.
The fewer people who know about my fourth brother being struck by lightning, the better. If it gets out, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"I'll hold it."
After recovering, Old Madam Xiao blocked Zheng Yunyun's hand and picked up Xiao Yunzhan in a princess hug.
It is inappropriate for a sister-in-law to hug her brother-in-law.
It's not like she can't hold her son, so there's no need for her daughter-in-law to help.
When Old Madam Xiao carried Xiao Yunzhan into the Cining Palace, the palace servants from several nearby palaces curiously looked in the direction of the Cining Palace.
Just when they were playing dice, they heard thunder and lightning, which seemed to be coming from the direction of the Cining Palace.
Zheng Yunyun was the last one to fall behind, and just happened to see the inquiring gazes of the palace people.
