Yun Shang pretended not to see her. Not long after, she saw two secret guards holding a person jump out of the window and quickly heading to the Taiji Palace. Then, seven or eight more secret guards followed them and escorted him all the way.
"Your majesty..." Seeing the figures of secrets guards, Lady Lian said hesitantly, "Was the person those guards escorting away his majesty? Your majesty seems to be unconscious. What happened?"
Hearing this, Yun Shang suddenly turned to look at Lady Lian with cold eyes.
Lady Lian shivered and couldn't help but take two steps back. Her smile gradually stiffened. "I... I just..."
Before she could finish her words, Yun Shang said indifferently, "The day before yesterday, his majesty dealt with political affairs too late, so he has caught a cold and had a fever. These two days, he has been suffering from a lot of pain and always couldn't sleep well. Before going to bed, I gave him some medicine, which contained some herbs that could soothe his nerves. So I'm afraid his majesty hasn't heard these noises. It's not a big deal. It's rare for his majesty to have a good sleep. I don't want to wake him up."
Lady Lian lowered her head. Hearing Yun Shang's words, she nodded and said, "Yes, your majesty are right. I just saw that there were so many arrows just now, and there must be many assassins, and they all came for Weiyang Palace. So I just feared that... someone will do harm to his majesty as he is taken to the Tai Chi hall by the guards like this."
Yun Shang sneered, If anyone can do harm to his majesty under my watch, just come."
Then she quickly called out a secret guard, "Send someone to investigate the palace thoroughly and arrest all the suspicious people walking in the palace."
"Yes."
The secret guard left with a group of people.
Qian Zhuo kept telling the servants to fetch water from the well to put out the fire. The fire in the main hall was getting weaker and weaker, but there was a noise from the side hall. "It's on fire, run!"
Hearing the noise, Lady Lian raised her head in a hurry. "Your majesty, there seems to be some noise from the side hall."
Yun Shang turned to look at the side hall, and saw smoke billowing and a figure rushing out of the smoke.
One after another, in a short while, more than 20 people ran out.
Yun Shang squinted at the people who ran out of the side hall.
Lady Lian was also startled. "Why are there so many people in the side hall? Looking at their clothes, it seemed that they are... servants? "
Yun Shang nodded carelessly, "Yes, they are the servants in the Weiyang Palace. They were imprisoned in the side hall because of their mistakes. I'm afraid those who are in charge of guarding them are busy putting off the fire. So they ran out when they saw the fierce fire."
After saying that, Yun Shang raised her voice and called, "Qian Zhuo! Bring the servants who ran out of the side hall there and ask them to help put out the fire together to atone for their mistakes." Hearing this, Qian Zhuo turned around and looked at the people running out of the side hall. She frowned slightly and raised her voice in a hurry, "You, hurry up to help put out the fire! Hurry up!"
Hearing Qian Zhuo's words, the servants immediately fetched buckets and pots, filled them with water and ran to put out the fire.
For a moment, the whole Weiyang Palace was in chaos.
Seeing this, Lady Lian's eyes flashed. She stepped forward and said to Yun Shang, "Your majesty, although the fire in the main hall is a little weaker, the side hall is still burning. If we let it go on like this, I'm afraid the whole Weiyang Palace will be burnt to ashes. I'll go outside to ask the patrolling guards to come here and help."
Yun Shang didn't look at her. "It's dangerous here. I don't know where the assassins are hidden. Lady Lian, you'd better go back to the Jinxi Palace."
Lady Lian thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay. I'll do no help even if I stay here. In that case, I'll leave now."
Yun Shang didn't pay much attention to her. After she left, she winked at Qian Zhuo.
