Descending Phoenix- To be Emperor - C304

Just as he walked out of Li Wan’s side hall, he saw that her door was ajar. From afar, he could smell a strange fragrance coming from inside the room. It was neither the ordinary fragrance of makeup nor the incense of sandalwood or incense.

Feng Ningyan suddenly stopped, her eyebrows knitted, and raised her hand to block the two young eunuch s that were about to go in to spread the news.

“This fragrance is wrong.”

She took out the brocade handkerchief and removed a layer of snow from the lotus flower pot. She wet the brocade handkerchief and walked in while covering her mouth and nose.

Arriving at the hall, he saw that it was very dark inside. Even after the time it took to turn on the light, there wasn’t even a single light in the hall, let alone a charcoal stove.

It was impossible for Departmant Six to send charcoal to someone who had lost their favour.

Maybe it was because they were afraid of the cold, so the windows were closed.

With a single glance, he realized that there was not a single person in the hall. Li Wanshi and her palace maids were not there.

Just as Feng Ningyan was about to turn around and leave, he heard two palace maids shouting in panic from the courtyard: “Killed! Li Wan’s concubine killed someone! ”

The two palace maids were serving Li Wan Xin and Su Cai’er in Fanghua Palace, but at that moment, the two of them panicked and stumbled out from Su Cai Nu’s bedchamber.

One of them had his shoulder injured by a sharp weapon and was bleeding profusely.

Feng Ningyan ran out from Li Wan Xia’s bedchamber and immediately rushed towards the hall across from her.

The two young eunuch held onto the two palace maids and asked: “What’s going on?!”

“Li Wan’s concubine is crazy!” They want to kill people! ” The palace maids were so frightened that their faces were drained of color.

Feng Ningyan immediately instructed the two young eunuch: “Bring them to bandage!”

As she spoke, she quickly walked towards Su Cai Nu’s bedchamber.

At this time, he heard a “clang” sound, and the bedchamber door was actually slammed shut, followed by the sound of the door being latched.

Not good!

Feng Ningyan never thought that the people in the palace would actually bolt the door. Looking at the sharp rocks beside the flower bed, Feng Ningyan lifted up the door and was about to smash it.

At this time, a mournful scream was heard from within the hall, followed by the sound of an item falling to the ground. Flames shot up to the sky from within the door, igniting the window paper in an instant.

The fire was going fast and fierce, and the drapes by the door were burning rapidly, and the flames, like mad pythons, were climbing up and down the wooden doors and windows and the pillars of the wall.

At this time, Feng Ningyan smelt a strong smell of oil smoke!

Her head buzzed.

He came too late!

“Someone come!” “Put out the fire!” she cried, and then she lifted the stone and hurled it at the door.

The temple door was made of good materials. Even such a large stone had to be smashed several times before it could break open.

Feng Ningyan placed the cape in the lotus flower jar to soak it for a while, then wrapped it around his body and rushed into the big fire.

Black smoke billowed within the hall, making it impossible to see anything, and all that could be heard were miserable wails.

“Save me …” “Save me …”

She ran toward the sound, almost covered by the falling carved ceiling and the half-burned curtain.

Fortunately, she was agile and managed to dodge the attack. However, her skirt was slightly lit up and was destroyed by her kick.

“I’ll kill you! “I’ll kill you!”

Li Wan Xia hoarsely roared, allowing Feng Ningyan to more accurately determine the location of her and Su Cai Nu.

Feng Ningyan rushed over and saw that at a corner, Li Wan’s concubine was holding onto Su Cai’er’s leg and thrusting a blade at her body.

“Stop!” She kicked the burning piece of wood on the ground, directly hitting Li Wan’s wrist.

Li Wan’s wife was in pain, and the knife in her hand fell to the ground.

She screamed out repeatedly as she turned to look at Feng Ningyan, her eyes red as if filled with blood!

Feng Ningyan was shocked, but he did not care too much about it. He kicked away the dagger on the ground, picked up Su Wan and ran out of the hall.

Su Wan’s concubine’s legs were covered in blood from the stab, how could she still run? She could only hold onto Feng Ningyan’s neck tightly and allow herself to drag her out.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger. Li Wan’s concubine looked at the burning fire around her, but actually didn’t seem to be scared or running. Instead, she was laughing maniacally towards the sky.

“I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you …” I want to kill all of you demons and devils! ”

Feng Ningyan turned around and glanced at her. Even through the blazing flames, he could still see her red eyes, like a demon from hell.

She gritted her teeth and dragged Su Caijun out. When she was about to go in again to save Li Wanshi, she saw that crazy woman pull down the pearl curtain and the curtain. The curtain wrapped around her body, and flames engulfed her body in an instant …

There was no saving him.

With a crack of the lintel above the hall door, Feng Ningyan gritted his teeth, turned, and left the hall door, dragging Su Cai Nu to a safe location.

Just then, the cries of Forbidden Army and eunuchs came from outside the palace. Shangguan Jin had just rushed over with his troops.

Feng Ningyan looked at Su Caijun, who was in so much pain that she fainted. He placed her on the corner of the lotus flower jar and stood up.

Shangguan Jin recognized Lian Yi but he did not know that the Lian Yi in front of him was King Yu’s Wife. He walked over in large strides and asked: “Miss Lian Yi, what’s going on?”

Seeing that the Forbidden Army were busy trying to extinguish the fire, Feng Ningyan pulled Shangguan Jin to the side. It was only then that Shangguan Jin saw Su Caiyi, who was hiding beside the lotus pot.

“Commander Shangguan, after the imperial concubine sent Eunuch Jiang to find you, she suddenly remembered that there was a spy in the palace. She was afraid that the news might leak out, so she sent this servant to the Flowerflower Temple to question you.”

“Who would have thought that when this servant arrived here, Li Wan’s concubine would go crazy and kill someone at Su Caijun’s bedchamber. The fire was only lit so quickly because someone poured some clear oil over the bedchamber beforehand.”

When Shangguan Jin heard it, he turned around in shock and looked at the bedchamber behind him that was burnt beyond recognition.

Fortunately, the Flowerflower Palace was remote and wasn’t connected to the other palaces. The snow had yet to melt, so it wouldn’t affect the harem.

“In that case, could it be that there’s a spy in Imperial Concubine’s Chen Ming Palace?”

Feng Ningyan nodded his head: “There must be spies in the Chen Ming Palace, otherwise it would be impossible for them to know that Jiang Tao invited Commander Shangguan to interrogate Su and Li. Furthermore, Imperial Concubine suspects that Prince Cheng has spies in the entire harem. ”

Shangguan Jin looked at the heavily injured Su Caijun and quickly asked, “Looks like Prince Cheng is going to kill them to keep their mouths shut. How are we going to settle this Su Caijun?”

Feng Ningyan thought for a while, and said in a low voice: “I request Commander Shangguan to disguise Su Caiyi as the Forbidden Army guard to save the fire, to hide from others, and to move her to a secret place to recuperate. In order to make Prince Cheng believe that his spy had already been killed, I request Master to find a female corpse from the explosive chamber and place it in the fire. If you cannot find her, then go find Zhuang Shaoqing from Inspection Department.

When she finished, Shangguan Jin was already dumbstruck.

Shangguan Jin thought that this Lian Yi, normally, listened to every single word of the imperial concubine, and would always be submissive to her words. He never thought that he would be so calm in the face of such a situation.

Although his official position was much larger than Lian Yi, he still believed in her arrangements from the bottom of his heart.

“Alright, Lady Lian Yi, don’t worry, I will do my job well.”

Seeing that Shangguan Jin agreed, Feng Ningyan was relieved.

“That’s good. I believe that Imperial Noble Concubine must be worried about Fang Hua Palace’s situation. This servant will first report to the Empress, then return. ”

With that, she bid farewell to Shangguan Jin and quickly returned to the Chen Ming Palace to report.
