Shen Yi Di Nu, Divine Doctor: Daughter of The First Wife

636

Imperial concubine Yuan Shu laughed then waved to concubine Jing: “Younger sister, come closer.”

At this time, Feng Yu Heng, who had gone to bed, suddenly sat up in bed. For no apparent reason, she began to feel flustered. This made it impossible for her to continue sleeping.

Rolling out of bed, she put on her shoes and a cloak. Even after opening the door and standing in the middle of the yard, with the night wind blowing against her, she still did not feel relieved from that feeling of irritation.

Wang Chuan was sleeping next door. Upon hearing this movement, she quickly followed out. She saw Feng Yu Heng standing alone in the middle of the yard, and she could not help but ask: “Young miss, what’s wrong?”

She shook her head, “I don’t know. I just feel flustered. I keep feeling… that something is about to happen.”

At this time next to the imperial bed of Zhao He Hall, Zhang Yuan was sitting on the ground with a blanket wrapped around himself. Leaning back against the imperial bed, he listened to the incredibly familiar sounds of the Emperor’s snores.

Suddenly, he felt the area before his eyes darken. Looking again, he found that it was a hidden guard that had appeared before him. The hidden guard raised his index finger in front of his lips to gesture to keep silent. At the same time, he motioned for Zhang Yuan to follow him outside.

Zhang Yuan was puzzled, but he still followed. The two arrived in the middle of the yard, but he just saw the hidden guard raise his hand and point in a direction. He spoke in a voice that could not have been any quieter: “Winter Moon Palace caught fire.”

“Wh…” Zhang Yuan nearly screamed “what” out loud. Fortunately, he managed to use his hand to cover his mouth. Only then was he able to stop himself from waking the sleeping Emperor. He asked the hidden guard: “Is this true?”

The hidden guard was helpless, “Could it be false at a time like this? The imperial guards and servants have begun working to put out the fire. Thinking about it, the news will arrive here very quickly. Eunuch Zhang, think of something quickly.”

What idea could eunuch Zhang come up with. This news left him on the verge of collapse. “I feared that something would happen in the palace, yet it had to happen to Winter Moon Palace. Say… huh?” Zhang Yuan’s mind spun, “Hold on, hold on, there is something wrong with this situation. Winter Moon Palace’s defenses have always been the most secure. Nothing has happened for so many years. Why is it that it would suddenly catch fire at this time?” He said to the hidden guard: “I fear that there is some sort of hidden circumstance to this. Think of a way to investigate and see exactly how this fire began.”

The hidden guard nodded and disappeared in an instant.

Zhang Yuan stood in place and waited for a bit. He was thinking that if it was just a small fire, it would be put out after just a bit. Winter Moon Palace had always been an important place in the palace. The imperial guards were also very careful in the security to the area. At the same time, once something happened to Winter Moon Palace, it would be resolved very quickly. He prayed quietly in his heart that this fire would be put out quickly. He just hoped that this fire was not the result of someone’s plans. He just hoped that this fire would not awaken the sleeping Emperor.

However, the heavens never acted as people desired. Seeing that a red glow was coming from the direction of Winter Moon Palace, Zhang Yuan’s face turned pale.

“It’s over, it’s over.” He took a few steps back and sighed bitterly, “Now, it’s all over.”

At this time, the servants of Zhao He Hall began running over. Upon seeing eunuch Zhang in the yard, they quickly said: “Eunuch Zhang, it’s bad. Winter Moon Palace caught fire. The fire is getting bigger and bigger. It’s going to be out of control soon!”
