News of the fire in the Queen Mother's Palace has spread throughout the capital at this moment.
  Hundreds of people dug a whole morning before clearing the ruins and digging out dozens of corpses. The corpses were all burnt into coke, and the appearances and shapes were not recognized, so the eunuchs had to cover each one with a white cloth and put them in an open area for identification. Thinking of those who have passed away, some are noble in front of them, some are so humble, but at this moment they are finally equal.
  The only thing that can be confirmed after digging is that in the Queen Mother Palace that night, no one was lucky to survive.
  The emperor made a decree after weeping. The queen's mother died due to the fire, and the whole country was filial for three days. Within five days, she was not allowed to discuss political affairs, in order to pay tribute to the queen mother in the sky. And decreed that the duty of the servant on duty should be held accountable and deal with it vigorously.
  The poor eunuch is considered a diligent person on weekdays. When he saw the light of the fire last night, he was frightened. He hurriedly took people to rescue and was stopped by the palace secretary. He watched the fire and the heavy soldiers and knew that he was. There is hardly a way to survive, and he stayed in despair by the fire all night. When the imperial decree was issued and the guards came to delay the eunuch, the eunuch was foolishly allowed to play around, and he didn't call any grievances, as if he was frightened and stupid.

  When the war was over, Chen Zeming made arrangements for the prisoners of war and other matters one by one.
  There is no wind and flags as far as you can see, and sometimes the palace ladies dare not make a loud noise when they pass by. They come and go quietly, just like ghosts and charms. Recalling the tragedy of last night, Chen Zeming suddenly shuddered and felt a yin aura rising from behind.
  People say that they don't want to do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Now, as an executor, even if he is ordered to act, his heart is finally a little empty.
  He was already a little uneasy, and this scare was even more unpleasant. Suddenly, he felt that what he had worked so hard for in his life was lost overnight. When he was discouraged, he wanted to leave this place immediately and find a quiet place. Since then, he has ignored the affairs of the state and lived in a calm and comfortable life.
  After seeing the emperor in the imperial study room, his cranky thoughts stopped slightly.
  The emperor was dressed in white, leaning in the dragon chair in a daze. At this moment, although he could not have any sorrow, but his face was lost, and it seemed that he was not proud.
  Chen Zeming said a few words about the battle situation, but the emperor didn't say anything. After a while, Fang nodded and told him to retreat. Chen Zeming felt a little embarrassed in his heart. After all, he regrets it, but people can't come back to life after death. What is the use of regret now? When he discouraged him last night, he only used it as a breeze in his ears. What use is it to regret now?
  No matter how scheming he is, he knows that this is not the time to retire, so he has to bow and bow.

  Just out of the imperial study room, a little eunuch followed.
  At first, Chen Zeming hadn't noticed. After walking for a while, he noticed that the eunuch was always behind him, so he kept his mind secretly. When approaching the corner, I suddenly increased my speed.
  When the eunuch saw him running up suddenly, he was also anxious and hurried up. But after turning around to see where there were people, the eunuch was spontaneously stunned and was suddenly twisted his arm from behind.
  The eunuch was in pain and couldn't help but yell "Ah". The voice was high-pitched, it was actually a girl. Chen Zeming was surprised, and when he fixed his eyes, it was Xiao Hong. I couldn't help letting go, "Why are you dressed like this?"
  Xiaohong was panicked when she saw him and stopped talking.
  Chen Zeming frowned and said, "Are you not serving your master in the palace? What do you do when you pretend to be a eunuch?"
  Xiaohong knelt down with a "plop" and suddenly started to cry, "...General, this thing is too much, I, I, I-I don't know who to talk to!!"
  Chen Zeming saw her look as if the sky was falling, and looked desperate, and said in surprise: "What's the matter?"
  Xiao Hong cried and said, "The empress... !!!"

  Chen Zeming only felt that there was a sudden explosion of thunder, his legs softened, and he shook his feet before standing still. Suddenly lowered and grabbed Xiao Hong's shoulders, broke her hard, and said in a deep voice: "Nonsense, you told you clearly last night that she asked you to come out to see what happened, you clearly said so!... What are you talking about now!!!"
  Xiao Hong was grabbed by his hands and almost screamed. Seeing that he was full of suffocation, she suddenly changed her personality. She couldn't help being afraid. She couldn't even cry out. She just stammered: "...that's...that's the empress who wants me." With that said, she said that no matter who is here, one cannot let people know that she is not in Zhaohua Palace."
  Chen Zeming stared at her for a moment, and said: "...you lie to me..., what is Yin Yin doing there..." After saying this, suddenly thought of Yin Yin's decisive expression when he said that he hated the emperor, everything was transparent in an instant.
  He opened his mouth like a lightning strike.
  Seeing that he finally understood the situation, Xiaohong nodded quickly.
  Where is Chen Zeming willing to believe, he only feels that he must be wrong in thinking. How could it be so bizarre that he stubbornly tugged Xiao Hong: "...Yin Yin asked you to come. She wants me to see her? She is there. Where I'll go right away! Did she get angry and come up with such a cruel trick!!"
  Afterward, her heart was filled with Yin Yin's expression when she smiled lightly, and she knew that Xiao Hong would not dare to use it like this. It's a joke, and the heart is cut for a while, and it's a bit crazy.
  Xiaohong pulled away in horror but was caught by Chen Zeming. After struggling for a while, Xiao Hongfu cried again, "The general is spared, the general is spared!! Mother, I don't know where the empress is, she,...she is in the empress dowager! "
  Chen Zeming was startled by her words and couldn't help letting go.
  Seeing him desperate, Xiao Hong quickly wanted to slip away. She learned that it was a fire in the Queen Mother's Palace at dawn, and knew that there was no way to survive, but she was so young that she died so willingly, pretending to be a eunuch, she wanted to escape, but even if she was a eunuch, she couldn't leave the palace at will. See you on the road. Chen Zeming couldn't help but follow up.
  Fang took two steps but was grabbed by the collar and dragged back.
  Xiao Hong yelled in horror, and Chen Zeming whispered: "...I don't believe it!... You follow me to find!"
  Seeing him crazy, Xiao Hong was even more scared and repeatedly told Rao, Chen Zeming's wide-eyed eyes only looked forward. Walking around, it seems that I have never seen or heard anything.
  This led to countless people waiting and watching. Chen Zeming dragged a young eunuch forward, and some people came up to stop him. No matter who came, Chen Zeming knocked them down one by one and rushed through.

  Xiaohong struggled for a while, suddenly Chen Zeming loosened his arm, his body shook, and he fell to the ground.
  Before opening her eyes, she could smell the scorched corpse. Xiao Hong opened her eyes and was frightened by the corpses on the ground in front of the ruins. She even jumped up, screaming, tears all over her face.
  She was still young, so she had never seen such a hellish scene on earth.
  Looking at her, Chen Zeming didn't realize how cruel his actions were. He had only one thought in his heart, "You said she was dead..., where, let me see." He said so, but his face was filled with confusion. Lulu, I only hope that she will never find the body.
  Where did Xiao Hong dare to flip through her hands, she just stood trembling like a sieve, crying endlessly.
  Seeing her motionless, Chen Zeming bent over and started searching, turned for a while, and pointed at the soldier who was inexplicably watching, and said sharply, "What are you looking at!! Don't come over to me to find it!!"
  The soldier on guard over there saw his expression. I didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly went through the pages together, but I didn't know what I was looking for.
  After searching for a while, Chen Zeming stopped suddenly, was taken aback for a moment, and then slowly wiped the object in his hand with his fingers, revealing the golden color, but the pendant was a lively little monkey.
  There are many women wearing gold and silver in the palace, but they are rare.
  Xiao Hong saw that he was not moving, looked at it, saw the gold pendant in his hand, but took a breath of air, "This...this is the empress, general..." She wanted to say that the corpse was the empress, but Chen Zeming faced her. Shang Shang looked horrified and swallowed the second half of the sentence back.
  Chen Zeming bent his head and looked at the scorched corpse under him, remembering that night with brilliant lights, he bought the wooden monkey as a gift for her.

  "Look, it looks more like you!"
  She fisted over, her face seemed to smile like anger.
  "Hurry up and cover it, Tanghou."
  "Turn your head, don't look."
  She wrapped her coat, her ears were actually slightly red, but she didn't want to show her weakness and didn't want him to see it. Chen Zeming looked at her red ears a little sweetly and amusingly and decided to let her be merciless.
  The lantern was swaying in the wind, it was summer, and they were still young and innocent.

  Suddenly, with a splitting headache, Chen Zeming carried it down but was
  supported by someone before reaching the ground. "General General!" Chen Zeming was shaking and looking around the world, dark, twisted, and heavy...without a trace of color. Suddenly someone asked him: "You are on duty today?"
  Chen Zeming was puzzled, what do you mean? The man hesitated.
  He stroked his face again, and said seriously: "From the beginning, I didn't intend to let it go."
  Those indifferent eyes...
  Chen Zeming's breath suddenly choked, and he was shaken back to the ground from nothingness. He opened his eyes and stared at the sky in disbelief, where the clouds were heavy and gray, without a trace of sunlight.
