Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife - Chapter 107
[Chapter 107 It’s all gone]
In the middle of the night, the entire Jingling City was quiet, and suddenly a fire burst into the sky, dyeing the night red.
The officials patrolling the streets banged on the gong and woke up the people on several streets. They put on their clothes and looked at the firelight. At first glance, they couldn’t help but turn pale with shock: “Isn’t that the direction of Niyunfang? ”
Soon, most of Jingling City was awakened, and Cao Yunnian ran to the downstairs of Niyunfang before he had time to get dressed.
There are already people who are fighting the fire spontaneously, but the fire is so big that it is not easy to put it out.
Cao Yunnian was full of cold sweat: “Where’s Miss Mu? Is there anyone else in Niyunfang?”
“The door seems to be locked, there should be no one…” The person who spoke was not sure. After all, there were a lot of things going on during this time, and Miss Mu and others had been living in Niyunfang.
“No one is good, no one is good…” Before he could wipe his sweat, he heard a cry for help from upstairs.
“Help! Help!”
Cao Yunnian raised his head sharply, and saw the crowds of people on the third floor. Suddenly, the window was opened, and pieces of quilts were thrown down, and then there were cloth ropes hanging from the window.
Cao Yunnian’s face turned pale, he had just been rewarded by the emperor, if something happened to Mu Yunyao at this time, he would not be able to keep his position, and he quickly commanded the guards downstairs: “Save people quickly, don’t let the fire burn. Get the rope, hurry up!”
Upstairs, Mu Yunyao supported Su Qing: “Don’t be afraid, mother, just climb down with the cloth rope, and the quilt underneath will not hurt at all.”
“Yaoer, go first!”
“Mom, hurry up, stop dawdling.” Mu Yunyao shoved the cloth rope into Su Qing’s hands, and then pushed her to climb out of the window, “Siqin, you second, protect my mother. ”
“Yes, don’t worry, miss.” Siqin nodded heavily, then followed Su Qing’s footsteps and went down the rope.
Seeing that Su Qing landed safely on the ground, Mu Yunyao breathed a sigh of relief and instructed Jin Lan and the others to go down.
“Miss, you go first!”
“I’m fine, you go away.”
By the time Su Qingwu rode a fast horse to Niyunfang, the fire could not be stopped.
Cao Yunnian’s face was pale, his body was soaked with cold sweat, and he kept shouting to the upstairs: “Miss Mu, come down quickly!”
Mu Yunyao was the last to leave from Niyunfang. Because the fire was too big, she had to splash water on her body, and then quickly slide down the cloth rope. From time to time, sparks fell from her side, and the wound on her palm was rubbed. Broken, a piercing pain, just as she fell to the middle, the lower end of the cloth rope was burnt violently, and it quickly swept up.
Su Qing almost fainted with fright, and called out mournfully, “Yao’er!”
“Miss Mu!”
“Miss, be careful!”
Mu Yunyao looked down at the ground, bit her lip fiercely, released her hand and fell down.
She closed her eyes tightly and tried her best to curl up, not letting herself fall too hard. Just when she was about to face the pain, she suddenly fell into a cold embrace.
When Su Qingwu got off the horse, he saw the thrilling scene of Mu Yunyao hanging in the air. Before he could think about it, he quickly ran to the bottom and saw the cloth rope burning. He was about to go forward to save people, but saw Mu Yunyao. Just let go and jump down! Fortunately, he reacted in time and reached out to catch the person, otherwise he would have lost half his life.
“Miss Mu, are you alright?”
Mu Yunyao opened her eyes and couldn’t help coughing twice. After confirming that Su Qing and others were all safe, she fainted.
Su Qingwu’s hands were tight, and the person in his arms was in a mess, with water stains on his body and black and gray on his cheeks, but he didn’t care at all, he only felt warm and soft. She was slender and petite but seemed to be boneless, and now she fainted suddenly, and the weight of her whole body fell into his arms, which made the strangeness in his heart suddenly deepen.
Jin Lan and Jin Qiao hurried forward to take Mu Yunyao over, calling her softly, “Miss, are you awake, Miss?”
Seeing that Mu Yunyao didn’t worry about his life, Cao Yunnian breathed a sigh of relief. The anger in his heart was stronger than the flames in front of him: “How can something so good suddenly catch fire? And everyone didn’t come out of the building, but the door was locked?”
The weight in his arms suddenly disappeared, Su Qingwu lowered his arms and clenched his fists, his eyes fell on the door of Niyunfang that had not collapsed, and the big lock on the door could be faintly seen through the firelight, and his face suddenly sank.
This time he came to escort the emperor’s reward. He just sent the reward to Niyunfang in the morning, and was burned clean by a fire at night. How can he return to Beijing to recover his life?
Inspector Zhang also rushed over in a hurry, and when he saw Niyunfang, which was swallowed up by the firelight, it was dark in front of him, and he almost fell to the ground.
Su Qingwu turned to look at him, with a hint of coercion in his tone: “Master Zhang, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise I really have no way to deal with the emperor.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Su, the lower officials will find out the truth about this matter.” Inspector Zhang gritted his teeth in resentment, and immediately sent people to search around to see if there were any clues left.
When Mu Yunyao woke up again, she had returned home, and Su Qingzheng was sitting next to her weeping.
“Mother…”
Su Qing shuddered, wiped away her tears quickly, and said in surprise, “Yao’er, are you awake? Great, my mother will be worried to death.”
Mu Yunyao sat up and touched the bed with her palm, and she took a deep breath of cold air in pain.
“You have injuries on your hands and body, don’t move around, just do whatever you want, mother, to help you.”
However, Mu Yunyao insisted on sitting up and snuggled directly into Su Qing’s arms, ignoring the wound on her hand, and tightly grasped the front of her clothes: “Mother, I’m sorry!”
Su Qing was stunned for a moment, and then the tears fell even more fiercely: “Silly child, it’s good to be safe, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”
But Mu Yunyao just cried and didn’t speak, and kept apologizing to Su Qing. She couldn’t tell her mother that she set the fire, and there was no way to make her mother not worry about her. The guilt in my heart eased a little.
Su Qing took her in his arms and patted her on the back like a child: “It’s alright, it’s alright…”
After a while, Mu Yunyao gradually controlled her emotions: “Mother, how is Niyunfang?”
“The fire burned so badly that it burned everything.” Su Qing felt heartache before, but now that Mu Yunyao is safe and sound, he no longer cares about those external things, but instead came to comfort her, “Yao’er, Niyunfang No, let’s reopen it again, don’t be too sad.”
Mu Yunyao nodded: “I understand, mother, don’t be sad, I will definitely open a better show for you in the future.”
“Okay, Yao’er can say anything.”
Mu Yunyao rubbed in Su Qing’s arms: “I want to sleep with my mother tonight.”
Su Qing touched her hair, and smiled softly when she heard the words: “Okay, then we’ll sleep together.” She was also afraid, so she could feel more at ease by holding Mu Yunyao.
Mu Yunyao cuddled next to Su Qing, the water in her eyes faded, and what appeared was boundless coldness: Mother, don’t worry, we will be able to rebuild Niyunfang soon!
After about half an hour, Mu Yunyao’s breathing calmed down, and Su Qing slowly opened her eyes, turned her head slightly to stare at her daughter’s peaceful sleeping face, deep distress flashed in her eyes, and it took a while to cover her up. Cover her with a quilt and accompany her to sleep.
