Tianwu was stunned and seemed to have not understood this. He shouted: "If you don't find it, please continue to look for me!"

The guard said again: "Your Majesty, it's not that I haven't found it, I've searched every place. There's really no Empress Yun!"

As he said that, many people ran out one after another and came to Emperor Tianwu one after another, saying the same words: "Emperor, the Empress Yun was not found in Yuehan Palace."

Immediately afterwards, a large number of palace guards were rescued from the inside, and the secret guards of Yuehan Palace also helped the palace maid and eunuch escape from the sea of ​​fire. Emperor Tianwu's eyes turned red when he saw it. He stepped forward and grabbed a secret guard a few steps and asked loudly: "Where is your master?"

The female secret guard's face was red due to the high temperature caused by the fire. At this moment, she didn't know how to answer Tianwu. She was still holding the female official Su Yu, the head of Yuehan Palace, in her hand, but Su Yu was hesitant and lowered her head even more.

Tianwu was wrinkled and a bad premonition came in his heart. He ignored Zhang Yuan's pull and trembled hard, shaking Zhang Yuan open, and rushed towards the sea of ​​fire.

Zhang Yuan was so scared that he shouted: "Secret Guard! Stop people!"

The secret guards around Tianwu were not given for nothing. Even if some rushed in to put out the fire and look for someone, some of them would not leave Tianwu even if they died. Seeing that Tianwu was about to rush into the sea of ​​fire, before Zhang Yuan could speak, several secret guards appeared together and instantly stopped Tianwu.

However, Tianwu had already lost his mind. He wanted to throw away the secret guards frantically and shouted in a collapse: "Let me go! Let go! You slaves all want to live! Come on, drag them out and chop them up for me! Let go, I want to save people, Pianpian! Pianpian!"

The people were frightened. The queen knelt in front of Emperor Tianwu, grabbed his robe with both hands and begged for pain: "Your Majesty, calm down, you are the emperor of Dashun, your life is not yours, nor your concubine Yun, but the people of Dashun! There are already so many people extinguishing the fire. You rushed in Yuhuoqing and could not give any help, which would disrupt the order of the firefighters. If you really want to protect Yun, you should stay outside and take good care of yourself, so that the people below will concentrate on saving people. Your Majesty, please be calm!"

As the queen knelt down, the concubines behind her also knelt down, and cried for a while.

Tianwu was so angry that he shivered, but he finally calmed down a little. He asked Su Yu: "Who was with your master when he was walking in the water?"

Su Yu calmed down at this time. She came to Tianwu and replied, "Go back to the emperor, before leaving the water, Concubine Yun had already been sleeping. When the empress was sleeping, she never liked to keep people, so there were no servants serving her in the bedroom. But the slaves did not go far away, and there were people in the courtyard. The fire was burned from the front yard, and somehow the back yard was burning. The servants were busy putting out the fire. When the slaves entered the bedroom and wanted to wake the queen, they found that there was no one in the bedroom."

After she said that, she winked at the female secret guard next to her. The female secret guard immediately said, "I guess that the queen must have discovered the fire and hid herself."

"Where can she hide?" Tianwu stomped his feet and immediately ordered the palace servants: "Go and look for it again, and look for the hidden place!"

Fortunately, the fire was getting smaller at this time, and the guards were soaked in water and rushed in without any hindrance. After a while, another group of imperial guards who went in to find someone rushed out, and the same thing was reported to Tianwu: "Your Majesty Yun was not seen in Yuehan Palace."

At this time, the concubines finally had a voice of doubt, and some people said, "Can Concubine Yun be not in the palace at all?"

Everyone looked in a voice and said that it was an inconspicuous woman, not a high position, but the queen recognized her sharply and asked, "Guy Jing, what do you mean?"

The person who spoke was Jing Guiren. She looked up and looked at Tianwu greedily, as if she looked at him less, trying to see everything about the man in front of her.

Seeing that she was only concerned about looking at the emperor but did not answer, the queen turned cold. She stood up, took two steps to the concubines, and said again: "Gui Jing thought it was because of her discomfort today. I came here to send Gui Jing back to the palace."

Before someone could move, suddenly, Concubine Yuan Shu's voice also rose, but she scolded Concubine Jing and said, "Concubine Jing, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. What does Concubine Yun mean that Concubine Yun is not in the palace? Where else can she go if she is not in the palace? Will she escape from the palace?"

This sentence once again pushed the whereabouts of Concubine Yun to a key point.

Tianwu listened to these sentences in a daze, and suddenly his heart trembled, as if the truth was about to emerge, as if the words of Concubine Jing and Concubine Yuan Shu were all fulfilled.

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, nor did he dare to ask someone to go in and verify it again. He just asked Zhang Yuan in a daze: "Is what they said true or false?"

Zhang Yuan was so angry that he drew a glance at Concubine Yuan Shu. This glance almost made Concubine Yuan think that the eunuch was going to kill someone to silence him. Immediately afterwards, he heard Zhang Yuan tell Tianwu: "Concubine Yun may also escape from Yuehan Palace because of the fire. I think this is what the two little masters said that they are not in the palace."

Tianwu suddenly realized: "Yes, it's not in Yuehan Palace, that's okay. Who won't run away when the fire is on fire? Pianpian is not a fool. Oh, why are you still standing there?" Seeing that the fire in Yuehan Palace has almost been blown out, and the rolling smoke has been suppressed by the clean water of the palace people, Tianwu directed the imperial guards standing and staring: "Hurry up and go to other places in the palace to find it, and immediately take Concubine Yun back!"

The guards left, Zhang Yuan felt sweaty and was so depressed that he couldn't help it. Now that he could just hold on for a while, he could not hold on, so he had to admit it. At that time, he would be forced to die by death, so he would not believe that Tianwu could watch him die before him and still wanted to leave the palace to find someone.

The guards searched the palace, and because it was Tianwu's order, it went very smoothly. After an hour, everyone returned to the gate of Yuehan Palace. The deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, who was on duty tonight, replied to Tianwu: "Emperor, the entire palace has been searched, but there is still no Empress Yun."

"What?" Tianwu shook his body. If Zhang Yuan and the Queen hadn't helped him in the back, they would have fallen to the ground.

But at this moment, Concubine Yuan Shu's voice rang again - "Is it true that Concubine Jing said... is it right? Concubine Yun really escaped from the palace?"

As soon as he opened his words, the other concubines who had been wasting their lives for more than twenty years were instantly ignited. Because of Concubine Yun, they were buried deep in the palace and spent the rest of their lives. In the past, there was a battle between concubines. Although it was extremely dangerous, they were always angry and always made people feel that they were still alive. But since Concubine Yun, any palace fight was meaningless, because Emperor Tianwu was the same for everyone. In addition to being able to have a meal with the queen occasionally, he was already two in the harem.

I have never taken any further ten years. The court room has become a fictional decoration. The palace ladies inside live more comfortable than retirement, but no one cares about how the women who were in their youth should be placed in this life. Seeing their faces getting older and their temples turned pale, I saw a concubine in person who could not control her loneliness and had an affair with the guards. Those who found her were beaten to death, and those who didn't find her continued to live secretly. I also saw that the concubine who couldn't stand the torment had turned white overnight and became crazy after the past.

All of this is thanks to Concubine Yun, and all of this is the disaster given to them by the person in Yuehan Palace.

The words of Concubine Yuan Shu and Concubine Jing made them find a vent that they could not find for a long time. I don’t know who shouted first: “Concubine Yun is not in the palace? What is the purpose of our staying alone in the empty boudoir for so many years?”

Asked questions came one after another - "We are the emperor's concubines, and we can't win the favor, but why don't she let us see you if she doesn't see the emperor? She is not in the palace at all, why do she still force us to death?"

"Wow!" Finally someone burst into tears and shouted loudly in a collapsed voice: "I was only sixteen years old when I entered the palace. I had someone I like, but the palace talent show still chose me. I gave up the person I like, gave up being with my parents and doing filial piety, and didn't expect to reach a high position. I just thought that you can be nice to me at least. But the emperor has only favored me three times, and I don't even have a child. I am still a noble person. In the blink of an eye, I am almost forty years old. Who will give me these twenty years old? Who will give me?"

When she cried, more people started to cry. Gradually, some people began to condemn Concubine Yun—"It would be fine if she was in the palace, but she was not here. The emperor wanted to give us an explanation!"

"Yes! We want to explain!"

"Catch Concubine Yun and sent him to the Ministry of Justice."

"The concubine who escaped from the palace should be hanged!"

Tianwu looked at the almost uncontrollable situation and listened to the heart-wrenching crying, his eyes were even more desperate.

He didn't care about the crying of these women, but he cared too much about whether Concubine Yun was in the palace. If it were, it didn't matter. He could lock up all the women who made trouble with one sleeve, or just let them go out of the palace if they were willing. But what if Concubine Yun was not there?

The queen frowned and looked at the farce in front of her, and said in anger: "Stop me! I'm not satisfied with my position? Yes, I'll give you a better home today!" She pointed to the noble man who had just cried and told me that she had entered the palace at the age of sixteen and said: "Send her to me to the cold palace and never release it!"

Immediately someone rushed forward and quickly pulled the noble man away. No matter how much she cried, it would be useless.

The queen looked at the other concubines and asked, "But anyone else wants to be her company?"

For a moment, everyone was silent. After the big fuss, they quickly recovered from their urges, and most of them even began to be afraid of their impulses.

But some people were unwilling to accept this result, so they heard Concubine Yuan ask: "What should we do now? Concubine Yun is... missing?"

Before the queen could speak, she heard a voice like a mighty voice suddenly erupting on the path in the distance - "Who is spreading rumors that my concubine is not in the palace? Who made the conclusion that my mother's concubine is missing?"
