When his subordinates came to report the time, Murong Yue was being given a hand warmer by Ahao, and the group was watching fireworks in the Imperial Garden.
The fireworks were beautiful.
Murong Yue looked up at the night sky.
At first, the banging sounds almost made her think she was living her old life again.
Gunshots could be heard everywhere, sometimes from driving away zombies, sometimes from fighting among themselves.
She hates the sound of gunfire.
But unexpectedly, this sound could also be the sound of fireworks.
Beautiful, dazzling, and makes Little Corpse happy.
Qi Yuan glanced at the master and servant and whispered, "Double the manpower in the Imperial Garden and the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and triple the manpower in the Lingxi Palace."
"If anything seems amiss, take control of the Second Prince first."
After thinking for a moment, Qi Yuan glanced at His Majesty and Ahao, then silently turned away.
He wanted to personally oversee the Lingxi Palace.
Although the second prince is incompetent, his life is more precious. With the second prince in hand, we are not afraid of the Yue Kingdom causing trouble.
Murong Anle had just returned to the manor, had just kissed his wife, and was about to sit in the main seat to receive the children's New Year's greetings when the people from the palace arrived.
Waaaaah—
Murong Anle cursed inwardly, "They just won't stop."
He wanted to see what these restless siblings were up to.
Lingxi Palace.
As soon as Murong Yue's New Year's banquet was served, she said that the candlelight in the palace was not bright enough.
After the palace servants added more candles, she complained that there were too many candles and they stung her eyes.
Then, the palace servants had no choice but to hang up a few lanterns that were about to die.
"You may all leave. My brother and I will eat by ourselves."
"yes."
Apart from Cherry, all the servants from the Qing Kingdom were sent away.
Everyone had gotten used to it; the prince and princess of Yue Kingdom were always acting strangely.
The three of them, forgetting about eating, poured all the kerosene from the extinguishing lamp onto the bed.
This method won't fool anyone; once Qi Yuan investigates, he'll know the cause of the fire.
But it didn't matter. She stubbornly refused to admit it, insisting that the oil leak from the lamp had caused her death. They had no evidence, so what could they do?
She and Xiao Yuanche were both members of the Yue Kingdom's royal family, no matter what.
Xiao Yuanshuang held up a tinderbox and said, "Second brother, after the fire starts, the palace servants will be busy putting it out. I'll keep Qi Yuan occupied while you rush out to the Imperial Garden."
"With your skills, you should have no problem running out and getting close to Murong Yue in the chaos, right?"
"No problem, don't underestimate me. I'm a disciple of a prestigious school."
Xiao Yuanche patted his chest and assured him.
If we say that Murong Gan, Lan Yun, and Li Xuanji were all disciples of the Lan Family Fortress.
The Lan Family Fortress is the most powerful martial arts base in the world.
The royal family of Yue Kingdom has intricate connections with Mingyue Sword Manor.
When the Crown Prince of Yue went to learn martial arts, Xiao Yuanche also went to learn for two years.
His martial arts skills weren't particularly high, but he could still manage to get close to the unarmed Empress amidst the chaos.
Qi Yuan, who was listening in, had a grim expression.
These two actually wanted to burn down the Lingxi Palace!
What's even more despicable is that Xiao Yuanche wanted to take advantage of the chaos to benefit His Majesty.
The Grand Preceptor is right; we shouldn't give these two a friendly look.
When the Yue Kingdom officials wrote to request assistance, His Majesty agreed in accordance with tradition.
It was only later that the Qing Kingdom learned that the Yue Kingdom had ulterior motives and actually wanted to become the king.
But the agreement had already been made, and it was difficult to go back on it.
That's all there is to it.
"Go and prepare the fire extinguisher."
"yes."
Fire extinguisher tanks, as the name suggests, are used for extinguishing fires.
Previously, there was no such thing in the palace. When a fire broke out, the palace servants would carry buckets to put out the fire.
Later, the Empress Dowager ordered that a number of water vats be placed in various parts of the palace.
You wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely on a normal day.
In winter, the water vat would freeze, so we would move the vat to an uninhabited hall and light a few braziers.
The brazier was always lit, and the water vat never froze.
Furthermore, the fire extinguishing tank is checked every day to ensure that it contains water.
"Wait, go prepare another bucket of kerosene."
Didn't you want to play with fire?
You've only brought trouble upon yourselves.
The fireworks in the Imperial Garden were still going on, and the sound of firecrackers masked some of the noise.
The kerosene and fire extinguisher tanks are ready.
In the Lingxi Palace, Cherry also withdrew, leaving the space open.
Xiao Yuanshuang's lips curled into a smile as the tinderbox was lightly tossed onto the bed.
The silk quilt, soaked in kerosene, instantly burst into flames.
She and Xiao Yuanche stood behind the table, and she even had the leisure to pick up a few pieces of pastry to taste.
Just as the flames were about to reach the roof beams, Xiao Yuanshuang shouted, "Fire!"
"Someone come quick!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a large hole suddenly appear in the roof, and a bucket of unknown liquid spilled directly into the hall.
Both she and Xiao Yuanche were splashed with a lot of water.
Was the fire put out so quickly?
The thought that had just crossed her mind was instantly dismissed because of the strong, pungent smell of kerosene.
What was just spilled was a bucket of kerosene.
Oh no!
"Run!" The two words had barely left his lips when a howling wind blew in through the large hole in the roof, whipping up flames that hurtled towards the two of them.
ah--
Xiao Yuanshuang was instantly surrounded by flames.
She felt her clothes burning, her hair being singed, and her skin burning.
No!
I don't want to!
Things shouldn't be like this.
"Roll on the ground!"
A cold snort came from the side.
It was Xiao Yuanche's voice.
It instantly helped Xiao Yuanshuang regain her senses.
Compared to being burned to death or disfigured, rolling around on the ground is nothing.
