If not abolished

Chapter 363: The Great Hall is on Fire

Han Dynasty Palace.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, His Royal Highness Prince Zhao wants you to come over right now." Zhu Zhanqi was almost asleep. Wang Jundai had just undressed him when he heard a voice coming from outside. It sounded very anxious.

Wang Jundai glanced at him and immediately put his clothes back on. "It's so late, Third Uncle must have something urgent to talk to you about. Go quickly."

"Okay, you should go to bed early. I'll go first." It was so late. If Zhu Zhanqi really had something urgent to do, he might not come back.

"It's very cold tonight, Your Highness, please put on an extra coat." Wang Jundai took out a coat and handed it to him.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Zhu Zhanqi quickly put on his clothes and went out.

Zhu Zhanqi rode quickly to Prince Zhao's mansion.

"Uncle San, what happened?" Zhu Zhanqi asked as soon as he entered the door.

"You are finally here. I don't know who handed the memorial to His Majesty, saying that your father was restless in Le'an and was recruiting soldiers privately. I found out too late and didn't have time to stop it. Now the memorial is in the palace. It will appear in front of His Majesty tomorrow morning at the latest. Do you have a trustworthy insider in the palace? See if you can get the thing out." Zhu Gaosui gave him a general idea.

"When we were in Yingtian before, our spies were cleared out once. There are not many left, and most of them find it difficult to get in touch with the Qianqing Palace." Zhu Zhanqi looked very nervous on the surface, but in his heart he was cheering for the person who delivered the memorial.

"If it can't be replaced, then we'll have to destroy it. The weather is so hot now, and it's dry. If we're not careful...what do you think?" King Zhao had no choice but to think of a permanent solution.

"Uncle San's move is brilliant."

Two hours later, when the entire Forbidden City was asleep, the shouts of many people were suddenly heard.

Hu Shanxiang didn't hear it clearly in her sleep and thought it was a dream.

"It's gone, it's gone."

The noise was getting louder and louder. Hu Shanxiang suddenly woke up and asked hurriedly, "What happened? Why is it so noisy?"

Zhu Zhanji was busy late today and rested in the study.

"Empress, it seems that there is a fire in the Qianqing Palace." Lingzhi and the others heard that Hu Shanxiang had woken up and immediately walked in and said.

"What! The Palace of Heavenly Purity is on fire. Is there anyone inside?" Sometimes Zhu Di would stay there after work. If something happened...

"Fortunately, your majesty is in the Imperial Concubine's Palace today, but the fire is quite large and has spread to the other two palaces."

"Is Your Highness awake?" Even she was woken up, so Zhu Zhanji might have woken up too.

"His Highness has woken up a long time ago. He just came over to take a look and told us to keep the Queen safe and not to go out."

"Your Highness, please drive over here?"

"Ah."

It was destined to be a sleepless night. The fire was not put out until almost dawn.

Zhu Di looked at the three halls that had been burned beyond recognition and remained silent for a long time.

The fire was put out, but a bigger storm came. Early in the morning, the ministers were clamoring to see His Majesty in front of the palace gate.

When they got up early in the morning and were on their way to court, they saw the raging fire in the palace.

"My lords, today's morning court will be postponed. Please don't be anxious." The eunuchs at the palace gate were there early to block people.

"We want to see His Majesty."

"Grandpa Emperor, the ministers are arguing at the palace gate. I'm afraid they have nothing to say, but because of the fire last night, they have a lot of things to say. Should we cancel today's court meeting?" Zhu Zhanji ran over and asked Zhu Di.
