She didn't even have time to say a few words in the morning.
Only now did Xie Ning take the time to ask her: "What's your name?"
The palace maid had a melon-shaped face and was not tall, half a head shorter than Xie Ning.
She looked Xie Ning up and down first to make sure she was not injured, and then she breathed a sigh of relief: "My name is Xia Yue."
"What is the name of the other person with you?
Where is she now?"
"Her name is Xia Hong.
We were scattered when the chaos broke out just now.
But Xia Hong has always been smart, so she should be fine.
Master, please don't worry."
The shouts of killing downstairs gradually weakened, and within the time of a cup of tea, the sounds of chopping and shouting became sporadic, and gradually subsided.
But everyone in the Peony Garden, who had been frightened out of fear, still cowered and did not dare to move, for fear that the slightest movement would lead to bad luck.
There was a strange pungent smell in the air.
Princess Mingwei sniffed: "What does this smell like?"
Xie Ning also heard it.
"It's like tung oil, but tung oil is not as smelly."
"It should be kerosene."
Xie Ning was shocked.
Once the kerosene that comes from here catches a spark, the whole peony garden will turn into a sea of fire.
The kerosene will not be extinguished when exposed to water, making it difficult to put out the fire.
Xie Ning had seen this thing when he went to Xixia Pass with his uncle, and was particularly impressed by it.
Xia Yue whispered in Xie Ning's ear: "Master, don't worry.
When I went upstairs, I did see a few overturned kerosene jars.
They were hidden under the satin flowers in the garden.
Just now there was a father-in-law.
I asked someone to get some earth to cover the fire oil so that it wouldn’t burn.”
Princess Mingwei breathed a sigh of relief and cursed again: "Mingshou's heart is too poisonous.
He just ambushed elite soldiers with swords and axes in advance.
He even prepared things like kerosene.
He planned to set fire to us alive if something goes wrong."
Die" Fortunately, Princess Mingshou was a woman.
If she were a prince and inherited the throne, she would definitely be a more cruel and reckless emperor than the late emperor.
His temper, in which those who obey me will prosper and those who disobey me will perish, is even more vicious than the late emperor.
"I don't know whether she is dead or alive now."
Princess Mingwei was thinking about it.
Princess Mingshou committed a serious crime of treason, and the situation in the palace and the court will probably change again in the future.
If Princess Mingshou had not been killed on the spot in the chaos just now but had been captured alive, what would the emperor have done with her?
She would have been sentenced to death and imprisoned as a commoner for the rest of her life.
From the time Princess Mingwei could remember, Princess Mingshou was like a mountain weighing on her head, so heavy that she couldn't breathe.
When she was still young, she prayed in the dark that Princess Mingshou would completely disappear from her life, and she was willing to pay any price to get rid of her.
Princess Mingshou seems to be born with no sympathy and compassion.
She takes pleasure in the suffering of others, regards human life as nothing, and has an endless desire for power and money.
Princess Mingwei was horrified that she would do something like today, but she was not too surprised.
Princess Mingshou is extremely courageous and as ambitious as any man.
To be fair, she is a living portrayal of boldness.

Regardless of whether she died in the chaos below, was sentenced to death, or was imprisoned for life, Princess Mingwei had no sympathy for Mingshou at all.
She totally deserved it.
Mingwei even felt that these measures were of great benefit to her.
She had countless lives on her hands, and even if she was killed, her life would not be enough to pay for her sins.
It was quiet for a while before anyone dared to look around, and someone lifted up a corner of the tablecloth and crawled out from under the table in a state of embarrassment.
Their appearance and expression were as embarrassing as the others, but who could care about that at this time.
The garden is no longer what it was before.
For more than half an hour, the peony garden was in a mess, with broken branches and leaves all over the place.
A young soldier with a childlike face lay lying in the peony garden.
The pink and white petals were crushed and fell to the ground, and were dyed into a large area of deep red by the blood flowing from his body.
The soldiers with black cloth belts on their arms looked over one by one.
If anyone was still alive, they would simply give him another quick stab.
It's not that they are so cruel that they must kill these former colleagues who are no longer able to resist, but that these people have committed a serious crime of treason, and they can suffer less if they die now.
If the emperor is merciful, their family members might be able to escape being implicated.
The soldier lying in the peony garden was turned over, his eyes still wide open, but he had already died.
The person wearing a black cloth belt closed his eyes, and then two people quickly dragged the body away.
The emperor stepped out of the open hall, and Bai Hongqi quickly came over after reporting, bowed his head and whispered something in the emperor's ear.
People who were far away could only see the emperor gently nodding, and Bai Hongqi sent another message down.
After a while, two guards dragged a tightly tied man over.
She was wearing a green maid's dress that didn't fit very well.
She was barefoot and her hair was disheveled.
Princess Mingshou's body shape is so unique that people who are familiar with her and those who are not familiar with her can recognize her at a glance, even if she puts on the clothes of a palace maid, it is of no use.
Princess Mingwei stretched her neck.
She really wanted to get closer and see more clearly.
Previously, she was a little surprised as to why Mingshou was so quiet.
When she was grabbed by the hair and forced to raise her head, Princess Mingwei saw that her mouth was also tied up with a hemp rope, just like a bit on an animal.
Mingshou, who was so arrogant and arrogant, probably never thought that one day he would lose his dignity and be at the mercy of others.
It's good to tie it up, but if she doesn't, she might be so upset that she might bite her tongue and kill herself.
Besides, there is no telling what lawless words Ming Shou would have said if he had not tied his mouth.
Xia Yue was very capable.
She took out a small cloth bag from her arms, which contained a comb and hair rope.
She knelt there and combed Xie Ning's loose hair, and made a Yao flower bun with extremely dexterous gestures.
He also arranged her clothes, and in the blink of an eye, Xie Ning changed from a look of embarrassment to a very well-groomed appearance.
Although the skirt is a bit shorter, fortunately the skirt is already long, so it’s not too bad if the back is shorter.
Another palace maid, Xia Hong, came over quickly, bowed and said, "Your Majesty has ordered Xie Jieyu to come downstairs.
Your Majesty is ready to move."
Xie Ning glanced at Princess Mingwei, who quickly said: "I will go back with Princess Yunjun later.
Sister Xie will go first so you don't have to worry about me."
Xie Ning nodded: "Then I will take the first step."
When Xie Ning went downstairs, she felt a little weak in her feet.
She walked very carefully step by step.
Until her feet touched the ground, she still felt uneasy.
Xia Yue stepped forward and gently supported her.
Xie Ning calmed down and walked step by step along the road paved with white marble bricks to the emperor.
Xie Ning bowed his head and saluted.

The emperor nodded and said nothing more.
Xie Ning stood obediently behind the emperor.
In the brief moment of the salute just now, Xie Ning could feel that the emperor had looked at her from head to toe, including the recombed hair and torn skirt, and nothing was missed.
She herself felt strange, how did she find the emperor staring at her even though she didn't even raise her head?
This makes no sense.
Maybe it's because the emperor's gaze is too oppressive, or maybe she's too familiar with the emperor, and sometimes she can guess a little bit about the emperor's reaction.
Just as the emperor was so worried about her, Xie Ning was also grateful in her heart that the emperor was safe and sound.
The emperor stood on the steps in front of the open hall.
People in the hall, on the balcony, and in the peony garden knelt on the ground, and Xie Ning also knelt down with the people around him.
The emperor stood there with his hands behind his hands, his eyes passing over everyone one by one like lightning.
The power of quelling the rebellion with a single gesture made everyone more awe-inspiring for this scheming emperor.
Xie Ning raised his head and looked at the emperor's figure, feeling that he looked so tall and heroic, as steady and reliable as a mountain.
The emperor did not stay longer in Changchun Garden and immediately ordered to set off.
Xie Ning could face the long knife that was coming at him without changing his expression just now, but now that he was relaxed, he felt that he had no strength at all and was in terrible pain.
Even when he got on the sedan chair, Xia Yue and Xia Hong almost took her Put on the shelf.
Xie Ning was almost paralyzed as soon as he sat down.
Today's experience was truly thrilling.
The total number of shocks he had received in the past ten years did not seem to be as many as today.
The way back to the palace was different from when I came here.
It was to celebrate my birthday, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the guards didn't seem to be strict.
But now there were soldiers guarding both sides of the street, almost every three steps away.
The security was extremely tight.
Princess Mingshou has been captured alive, but her accomplices are by no means limited to those who appeared in the peony garden today.
There are probably many fish that have slipped through the net, and no matter how tight the security is, it cannot be too tight.
Perhaps it was because it was too hot the night before and he was worried about not sleeping well.
Although Xie Ning tried hard to cheer up, he fell asleep in the sedan chair at some point.
When the sedan carriage stopped and Xia Yue came over to invite her to the ground, he found that she was sleeping soundly.
Bai Hongqi was coming to deliver a message on the emperor's order.
When he saw this situation, he was stunned and quickly turned his head to ask the emperor for instructions again.
The emperor's order was: "Let her rest for a while.
Things will be complicated in the future.
It will be difficult for her to have such a peaceful rest by then."
Since the emperor had spoken, Bai Hongqi ordered people to send Xie Jieyu directly back to Qingbi Hall.
There is no need to wake up in a hurry, let Xie Jieyu sleep a little longer.
The sedan chair was carried directly into the gate of Qingbi Hall, and first stopped under the eaves of the corridor.
Fang Shanggong walked over quickly, opened the gauze curtain and took a look, and asked in surprise: "Master, what's going on?"
Xia Yue quickly explained: "Xie Jieyu just fell asleep.
Please don't worry, Shang Gong.
Xie Jieyu is fine and uninjured."
Fang Shanggong took a closer look and saw that Xie Ning was breathing steadily and had a peaceful expression.
He indeed looked like he was asleep
