Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 918 The last-ditch battle to leave Yingmei Temple

Yingmei Temple is located in Cuiping Mountain. The mountains are covered with snow, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and dripping water turns into ice.

There was only one candle lit in the room. Yuzhen was wrapped in thick cotton clothes and placed her hand on the only small stove. The warmth from the stove could not warm her whole body at all.

She was shivering with cold and her body was stiff. Because of this, her face looked sinister and distorted in the cold.

"Your Highness," Zi Qing saw that Yu Zhen's hand almost touched the hot stove and quickly warned, "be careful not to burn your hands."

Yuzhen seemed unaware, but her hand was still very close to the stove, almost touching it. She lowered her head, and the candlelight did not illuminate her face, so even her voice sounded strange: "You serve me." How long has it been in the palace?"

Zi Qing couldn't help but feel chills running down her spine, as if she had been splashed with wind and snow. The ice was biting and chilled to her heart: "Your Majesty, I have been serving you for 15 years."

Yuzhen still lowered her head, and her voice came out from the disheveled hair, which became more and more terrifying: "After so many years, you are really loyal to me. Even if I am in such a state of decline, you still share weal and woe. .”

Zi Qing didn't understand what her master meant. She just felt that the master at this moment was extremely scary, which made her feel frightened and trembled in her heart. She asked cautiously: "Your Highness, why do you ask like this?"

Yuzhen suddenly raised her eyes, with madness in her eyes. Those cold eyes reflected the candlelight in the dim room: "It's nothing, I'm just feeling emotional. You are really loyal to me, so you should be willing to do it for me. go to hell?"

Zi Qing was so frightened that she was completely speechless. She looked at Yu Zhen in fear, but in the next moment, she felt that her vision went dark, and Yu Zhen had picked up the stove and hit her on the head.

The charcoal fire fell to the ground, rolled down on Zi Qing's clothes, and soon ignited her clothes.

Yuzhen kicked her hard to the cabinet, and the fire in her body quickly ignited the wooden cabinet.

The fire spread, becoming more and more fierce, sweeping away everything in the house.

The wood burned loudly, and the curtains continued to melt to the ground. The billowing smoke filled the entire room with tongues of fire, and the beams were burned and fell to the ground with a rumble.

Yuzhen's hands were burned. She endured the excruciating pain and looked at the fire like a madman. Instead of running away quickly, she laughed crazily - she risked her life to get out of here.

This is her only chance.

She is afraid of death and pain, but at the same time she deeply understands that if she wants to achieve her goal, she must be determined to risk everything.

Having grown up in a deep palace, she knows how to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.

The firelight covered her face with a terrifying scarlet color, and in the firelight and smoke, she was not afraid of the fire that would engulf her at any time.

It wasn't until she heard the sound of other sisters-in-law arriving that she suddenly inhaled a few puffs of smoke, messed up her hair, stumbled out, and finally fainted in the snow.

Outside Yingmei Temple, the Queen Mother's people were on duty, and the news of her distress quickly reached the Queen Mother's ears.

Hearing that her daughter was almost killed in the fire, the Queen Mother almost lost her breath. After she calmed down a little, she burst into tears and told Aunt Chunxi with choked sobs: "Go and invite Your Majesty, otherwise the Ai family will take off their hairpins and plain clothes and kneel down in front of the throne." At the entrance of Ming Palace."

When Emperor Yuanwu hurried over, the Queen Mother had already burst into tears. Seeing her son walking in front of her, she pinched Emperor Yuanwu's sleeves and burst into tears: "Emperor, your sister was almost burned to death, did you know?" Emperor Yuanwu frowned: "What's going on?"

The Queen Mother cried so hard that her heart broke: "Yuzhen was in her sleep when Yingmei Temple suddenly caught fire. If Zi Qing hadn't protected her with her life, she would have... The sister-in-law who reported the news said that she had multiple burns on her body and had inhaled thick smoke in her lungs. , life is at stake!"

Emperor Yuanwu made a decisive decision: "I will send an imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment immediately!"

The Queen Mother suddenly roared sharply: "Is diagnosis and treatment useful?! It's freezing on the mountain. Yuzhen has been weak since she was a child. Whether she can survive is unknown."

Emperor Yuanwu looked at his mother with a look that was not only sad but also a little disappointing: "So, Queen Mother, what do you want me to do?"

The Queen Mother slowly stood up, shook her body, and made a gesture to kneel down to Emperor Yuanwu, but Emperor Yuanwu stopped her: "Emperor, please spare Yuzhen and let her come back! You are all pregnant in ten months in the Aijia, Qianxin What was born through all the hardships is the life/root of the Ai family!”

Emperor Yuanwu's Adam's apple twitched: "Mother, I keep my word, how can I change my order in the morning and at night?"

Seeing that the emperor was unmoved, the Queen Mother softened her tone and begged: "Emperor, the Ai family knows that you want to balance the previous dynasty, so you had to kill your relatives out of justice and demote the erring Yu Zhen to a commoner and send her to Yingmei. nunnery.”

"The Ai family all know this, so they don't dare to blame you. If Yuzhen lives peacefully in Yingmei'an, the Ai family will not come to you for help, but Yuzhen... she is going to die! "

"You have the civil and military power of the entire dynasty, and the people of the world, but the Ai family only has two children, you and Yuzhen. How can you make the Ai family endure and watch Yuzhen suffer?"

"Emperor, the Ai family begs you, please let Yuzhen return to the Ai family. The Ai family will discipline her well and prevent her from getting into trouble. The Ai family wants to take good care of her injuries. Please, Emperor."

Emperor Yuanwu was still hesitating. His mother came to him with tears streaming down her face. It was impossible to say that he had no compassion at all, not to mention that the one who was about to be burned to death was his sister.

It’s just that Lu Mingyong and Zhenli are about to get married. If Yuzhen is released at this time, what will the eldest princess’ mansion think?What do you want the Duke of Yue to think?
"Mother, I will first send several imperial doctors and palace officials to take care of Yuzhen. After Lu Mingyong and Zhenli get married, if Yuzhen is willing to change her past, I will find a way to get her back and give me some time. Okay?"

The Queen Mother looked at her son in disbelief, her pleas and worries turned into accusations: "Changsun Ce, you are so cruel!"

"In the past/you were just an unknown second prince under the crown prince. The queen was domineering, the concubines were vicious, and the Ai family worked hard to protect you."

"Now that you have become the Ninth Five-Year Master, not only have you failed to remember the goodness of the Ai family, nor the goodness of your grandfather who once praised you, but you have suppressed the Ai family and the Duke of Qi everywhere."

"Because you are the son of the Ai family, no matter how heartbroken the Ai family is, they can only obey you. Because you are the emperor, the Ai family cannot slap you in the face."

"But how did you do it? You are ungrateful, you are so cold-hearted, and you are so cruel to your own sister. Now that you know that Yuzhen is about to die, you still let the Ai family wait, and you still let Aijia wait. Home wait!”

"Okay! You won't let her go, right? If anything happens to Yuzhen and the Ai family doesn't want to live anymore, the Ai family will jump off the building next to Qingning Palace. The Ai family must let the world know before they die. You are An absolute bastard!"

As she spoke, the Queen Mother took off the hairpins on her head one by one and threw them hard on the ground. Soon, her hair was disheveled, and the white hair buried deep in her black hair was exposed.
