Chapter 1182
Qiuyue and the palace officials shouted for help.
Ning Yue poured tea on her sleeve and covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve. It is actually unwise to call for help at this time, as it is easy to inhale thick smoke and irritate the lungs: "Everyone should stop talking and hide in the water tank!"
But there is the Queen's Mo Lian in the water tank, who dares to hide there? If it is broken, the queen will ask about the responsibility, isn't it a capital offense?
"Do you really want to be burned alive?" Ning Yue asked puzzled.
Qiuyue pursed her lips and said, "It's not that we want to be burned to death, but...but these ink lotus are carefully cultivated by the empress. If Mo Lian is broken, the empress will definitely be furious!"
Ning Yue said bitterly, "What time is this, who cares about getting angry? Life is the most important thing!"
Qiuyue also felt that she should save her life, and nodded towards Concubine Liu Gui.
Concubine Liu Gui has been in the deep palace for so many years. It is impossible to climb from a small nobleman to today without any means, but Empress Geng's things... are really immobile.
Ning Yue saw no response from the crowd, and ignored them. She found a water tank, pulled out the Mo Lian in it roughly and threw it away, and nestled in by herself.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Ning Yue knew that this might anger the queen, but so what? Is it important to curry favor with the queen, or is it important to own life? Save your life first, as for how the queen will settle accounts with her, that is something that can only be considered after surviving.
Concubine Yan Hui grabbed Ning Yue's shoulders: "Princess Princess! You can't damage your mother's things!"
Ning Yue shook off her hand, and said flatly: "It's my fault that I damaged my mother's things. If anything happens, I and our Xiliang princess will be responsible! You are a concubine. , or leave me alone!"
"You..." Concubine Yan Hui was annoyed in her heart, but she had to admit that what Ning Yue said was right. She was just a concubine, not a queen, so why should she teach the envoys of other countries instead of the queen? Besides, this is not her Mo Lian.
She let go.
Ning Yue sank to the surface of the water.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the temperature was getting higher and higher. The young maid could no longer hold back the heat and passed out.
"Sister Guifei, what should we do?" Concubine Li Shun said coquettishly, "You should tell me something!"
Qiuyue persuaded: "Your Majesty, at least let's get through this test first, anyway... it's also the princess of the county who will fight first."
Concubine Liu Gui pinched the handkerchief, her face turned pale, and she said, "Human... human life is at stake, it's better... go in... hide, Qiuyue, help me in."
"Yes!" Qiuyue also found a water tank, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and pulled Mo Lian out like Ning Yue. When she pulled it, her heart was bleeding and her legs were trembling, "Mother, come in... go in!" ?”
Concubine Liu Gui gritted her teeth and went in.
As soon as she entered, Concubine Yan Hui couldn't stand anymore. She thought that she would rather die than touch the queen's things. After all, death is too easy, but being hated by the queen will hurt the third prince, King Qi. But when she saw that Ning Yue and Concubine Liu Gui had all hid in the water tank, she became a little wobbly again.
Concubine Zhang Li was burned so badly that her skin ached, she glanced at Ning Yue and Concubine Liu Gui in the water tank, and bravely jumped into the water tank.
Followed by Concubine Li Shun and several wives.
Concubine Yan Hui stomped her feet: "You...you...do you know how much time the empress spent cultivating these ink lotus? The empress..."
Before she finished speaking, a piece of the ceiling above fell down, falling straight in front of her feet, less than a foot away.
