The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 174 Sharing the same room

Zijin and Xiaobao were squatting behind a bush not far away, pulling apart the branches and leaves to look out.

It was relatively quiet here, and the two did not dare to speak until they saw Xiaojiu holding something in his hand and walking towards the Chaoyang Palace.

The two dared to talk in a low voice.

"What is Zhaoyi doing? Why did Xiaojiu leave?" Xiao Baoer asked.

Zijin was also a little nervous at the moment. She watched her master walk forward and quickly said to Xiaobao, "Hurry up and catch up. Don't ask anything else. I don't know either."

Xiao Baoer took a look and saw Qin Liuse walking towards the changing room, so he quickly followed Zijin out of the bushes.

Qin Liuse walked towards the locker room, but did not go in directly.

The dressing room is not as big as the Chaoyang Hall, nor is it an ordinary main hall. It is about the size of an ordinary family's wing room.

The dressing room is near the Chaoyang Palace. It was originally a storage room. It was used as a dressing room for the Autumn Eve Banquet.

Some things that could not be exposed to the wind and sun were moved to another storage room not far away. Some large items that could not be moved, such as large wooden cabinets, were still placed in the house, while others were placed in the corridor next to the door to make room.

Qin Liuse walked quietly from the edge of the darkness. When she heard some noise inside, she made up her mind and did not go in. Instead, she hid behind the closet near the door.

Fortunately, this was a dressing room and all the windows were sealed in advance, so even if the Thirteenth Prince wanted to look outside, there was no window to look through, so Qin Liuse was able to approach quietly.

Qin Liuse heard the noise coming from not far away, and quickly confirmed her position so that no one would notice.

Soon, Xiaojiu and Zhao Yuzhu appeared in sight.

Zhao Yuzhu complained as she walked along, "Why can't I lock it? This lock is new."

Xiao Jiu said dejectedly, "I don't know why the key wouldn't go in, so I got anxious and went to find Miss Yuzhu."

Zhao Yuzhu continued, "Luckily I have a spare key, you idiots!"

Zhao Yuzhu came forward, took the lock, and took out the key from his arms, then stood in front of the door to test whether the key could be used.

"Isn't this okay?" Zhao Yuzhu frowned, opened the lock, and was about to put it on the bolt.

But at this moment, he was suddenly kicked hard from behind. Before Zhao Yuzhu could react, the door creaked and he heard a low cry. He then fell forward and crashed into the door.

Qin Liuse was quick-witted and quick-handed. The moment she rushed in, she quickly closed the door and locked it.

Xiaojiu watched from the side, his legs shaking with fear.

Qin Liuse glanced at her. At the critical moment, this kind of person is a fool. Fortunately, she is strong, otherwise nothing will be accomplished.

Zhao Yuzhu inside had already reacted, and stood up and banged on the door, "Who is it? Xiaojiu! Let me out! Let me out!"

The Thirteenth Prince inside was drunk and resting, and Zhao Yuzhu was really afraid that he would wake up at any time.

They are a single man and a single woman, and if people get the news, it will be so bad for their reputation. Will she still be able to live as a human being?

Qin Liuse had a cold face and ignored her.

She dares to design herself like this, so when it's my turn, I'll just have to accept it.

Qin Liuse walked to the bottom of the stairs and said to Xiao Jiuer, "You go first."

Xiaojiu was as if pardoned, and he ran away immediately as if his feet were greased.

Zhao Yuzhu's banging on the door and shouting were really noisy. Qin Liuse thought that since she wanted to make trouble, she would help her and make the biggest trouble possible.

Qin Liuse came over and looked at the materials around him. He was well prepared.

Because lamps were lit everywhere in the palace on the Autumn Eve, servants had to add oil and candles from time to time. Qin Liuse saw a bucket of lamp oil near the closet.

There was still half a bucket left in it, so without thinking, he picked it up, poured it on the door, and threw the candle towards the door.

The flame was like a devil's tongue, quickly devouring the lamp oil and then swallowing the wooden door.

Now the fire is burning.

--

There was a fire here, and soon a father-in-law came running over, shouting, "There's a fire! There's a fire! Get some water!"

Qin Liuse looked at the fire from afar. The flames burned fiercely in her eyes, but she was actually not very angry.

She doesn't want their lives, but now that the incident has happened, she naturally wants to make the most of it. The bigger the better, otherwise she will have to suffer in silence.

In less than a cup of tea, someone reported the news to Zhu Wanxi.

Zhu Wanxi hurriedly ran to Emperor Yongjia and knelt down, "Your Majesty, there's a fire in the dressing room!"

Zhu Wanxi's forehead was covered with sweat because he had just seen Qin Zhaoyi, and he went to the locker room.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Yongjia's expression immediately turned a little colder.

He glanced at Qin Liuse's seat and put down the wine glass in his hand steadily.

Then he stood up and told Zhu Wanxi, "Get ready."

Zhu Wanxi originally wanted to tell Emperor Yongjia that it would be better not to go to a place where there was a fire, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it, so he stood up and followed Emperor Yongjia.

--

Qin Liuse was waiting on the way to the locker room, and the timing of Emperor Yongjia's arrival was just right.

The fire over there had been put out, and the fathers-in-law were using props to clear away the debris near the door to make it easier to go in and see if there was anyone inside.

Zhu Wanxi saw Qin Liuse from a distance, pointed at Emperor Yongjia, and smiled happier than a fool, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Zhaoyi is here, Zhaoyi is here!"

Emperor Yongjia glanced at him and said, "I am not blind."

Zhu Wanxi had never been so grinning from ear to ear.

Emperor Yongjia walked over, Qin Liuse saluted him, and asked in a pretentious manner, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Emperor Yongjia took her hand, tightened his grip, and the ugly expression on his face disappeared. He looked at Qin Liuse and said, "You are so in high spirits that you don't even want to change your clothes. I will accompany you to watch the fire."

Qin Liuse was choked and looked at him speechlessly, not knowing how to respond.

Now that we are here, there is no reason to turn around and leave.

Emperor Yongjia held Qin Liuse's hand and walked towards the locker room together.

The open fire was put out, the wood that burned the feet was swept away, and the eunuch went into the locker room. As Qin Liuse wished, he quickly helped the Thirteenth Prince and Zhao Yuzhu out.

The fire did not spread to the house, so although the two men were covered in dust, they were not seriously injured.

"Brother Emperor, you have to make the decision for Yuzhu!" Zhao Yuzhu said this quickly and urgently.

Emperor Yongjia was also surprised. He didn't expect to find these two people in the room.

When Emperor Yongjia left Chaoyang Palace, the news of the fire spread and soon people followed.

Among them are the Thirteenth Prince’s wife and Zhao Yuzhu’s third sister Zhao Yurong.

Zhao Yuzhu's father did not hold a high enough official position, so he did not enter the palace today. Just now, Zhao Yurong knew that there was a fire, but she did not see her sister, so she followed him out.

But he didn't expect to see his sister and the Thirteenth Prince coming out together.

Zhao Yurong almost fainted.

The father-in-law who brought the two people out was also very alert. He immediately stepped aside without saying anything.

Emperor Yongjia did not ask Zhao Yuzhu, but looked at his brother, "Why are you in this women's dressing room?"

The Thirteenth Prince smiled and said, "Brother, I am playing hide-and-seek!"

This made Zhao Yuzhu cry. "Don't talk nonsense. I didn't know you were in there. We have nothing! Nothing!"

Zhao Yuzhu cried and looked at her sister. She couldn't tell the truth about why she came here. She just cried and threw herself into Zhao Yurong's arms, "Sister, you have to make the decision for me!"

Zhao Yuzhu was afraid that because she was in the same room with the Thirteenth Prince and his clothes were in disarray, people would misunderstand her and ask her to marry this fool!
