The sudden fire caused a mess in the palace to be in chaos. The fire in Jingfu Palace could not be extinguished and was spreading outward. However, the organizational ability in the palace was low. Of course, this cannot be blamed on the people in the palace. The main reason is that there are too many rules in the palace. For example, after dark, all palace gates must be locked, and there are many taboos in the palace. As the main force for fire extinguishing, the imperial guards cannot walk around at will.

In this case, it is reasonable that the fire in Jingfu Palace is uncontrollable, and it has now burned to other places. Many people ran out along the fire, some people were running for their lives, while others wanted to run in front of the fire to stop the spread of the fire.

However, Li Zhang did not expect that he would be blocked by a locked palace gate. What's worse is that according to the rules of the palace, as long as the palace gate is locked, it will not be opened this night. If someone opens the palace gate without authorization, it will definitely be a death sentence. Therefore, although the palace gate leading to Miaoyuan Temple in Jingfu Palace blocked many people, no one dared to open the palace gate. After all, no one could bear this responsibility.

Others did not have the courage to open the palace gate, but Li Zhang didn't care about this. He was thinking about Miaoyuan's safety now. He pulled out the waist of a guard next to him, strode forward and cut off the door lock, then pushed open the door and ran towards Miaoyuan Temple.

Miaoyuan Temple is where Miaoyuan has lived since childhood. Because she was weak since childhood, Zhao Heng asked her to be a female crown, hoping to use the power of filial piety to help her grow up healthily. Later, her body recovered and she grew up slowly. Zhao Zhen and Liu E also suggested changing her place many times, but Miaoyuan refused.

Miaoyuan Temple is next to Jingfu Palace. Due to the wind direction, Miaoyuan Temple is also involved in a fire. When Li Zhang came here, he found that the entire Miaoyuan Temple had been trapped in the sea of ​​fire, with people screaming and running away everywhere, and he did not see where Miaoyuan was at all.

"Where is the princess!" Li Zhang grabbed a palace maid and asked loudly, but the other party was already scared. At this time, he shook his head in a daze. Li Zhang was so angry that he had no choice but to look for people everywhere to ask Miaoyuan's whereabouts.

"Boom~" At this moment, there was a loud noise, and the main hall of Miaoyuan Temple collapsed suddenly due to a fire, and the door was blocked. Li Zhang's face turned pale when he saw this. If Miaoyuan was still inside, even if he wanted to save it, he would probably not be able to save it.

"Cousin?" Just as Li Zhang was stunned when he was staring at the collapsed Miaoyuan Temple Hall, he suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting. When he heard the sound, he was surprised to find that Miaoyuan was standing in a corner next to him, with several close maids guarding him, but she looked at Li Zhang with a puzzled look, as if she was a little afraid to recognize each other?

"Miaoyuan, you're fine! It's so good!" Li Zhang immediately rushed to Miaoyuan, looking at her with surprise and shouted loudly. Although Miaoyuan was a little embarrassed, she even had a few black and gray on her face, she didn't look injured. This made Li Zhang finally relieved.

"It's really my cousin. What's wrong with you? Are you injured?" Miao Yuan finally recognized him when he heard Li Zhang's voice. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Li Zhang's arm and asked anxiously.

This is not a big deal about Miaoyuan's concern. It is mainly because Li Zhang's appearance is so miserable. Just now, in order to save Zhao Zhen, he mostly exposed the fire. As a result, not only did he get a fever, but his clothes were even more ragged and full of holes, and his face was as black and gray as the bottom of the pot. When Miaoyuan saw him just now, he only felt a little like Li Zhang, and he kept asking about his whereabouts, so she tried to scream.

"I'm fine. Your Majesty was trapped in the fire just now. When I brought him out, I was fumigated by the fire. It's okay!" Li Zhang was afraid that Miao Yuan would worry, so he waved his hand quickly, but Miao Yuan was not at all relieved. At this time, he carefully checked Li Zhang's body and found that although Li Zhang was not seriously injured, there were many burns, such as a piece of skin on his arm that was burned.

Just now, Li Zhang was only worried about Miaoyuan and didn't have time to check his injuries. At this time, he saw Miaoyuan was fine, and she touched the wound again. As a result, he sucked in pain. However, he still forced a smile and said, "It's not a big deal. Just let the imperial doctor apply some ointment later. Miaoyuan, have you suffered..."

Before Li Zhang could finish his words, Miao Yuan suddenly hugged him tightly, which made Li Zhang's whole body stiffen. He instinctively wanted to push Miao Yuan away, but stopped again. At this time, Miao Yuan hugged him very tightly, and his soft body shook slightly in his arms. I wonder if it was because of fear or excitement?

Not only Li Zhang didn't expect Miao Yuan to hug her, but the maids behind her didn't expect the princess to be so bold. Although Li Zhang was not an outsider, he was an adult man after all, and the princess was also an adult. Now that the two of them hugged each other, if this matter spreads, not only would Li Zhang be unlucky, but it would also affect Miao Yuan's reputation.

However, these maids are the closest people around Miao Yuan, and they are also very clever. They looked at each other, then quietly moved their steps to block Li Zhang and Miao Yuan behind them. Anyway, this is a corner, and because of the fire, there is thick smoke everywhere. Others either put out the fire or escape, and no one will notice this.

After a while, Miaoyuan slowly let go of his arm, but his little face was still buried in Li Zhang's arms and didn't dare to look up at him. In fact, she didn't know what was wrong with her just now. Anyway, she just wanted to hug Li Zhang impulsively. The moment she hugged Li Zhang, she felt a blank in her mind, and she had not slowly recovered from some reason until now.

Li Zhang was also in a complicated heart at this time. He was not stupid, so he could naturally feel Miaoyuan's feelings for him. However, he already had Qingzhi, and Qingzhi was pregnant and was about to give birth to two children. Li Zhang could not be sorry for her at this time. This is also the reason why Li Zhang was unwilling to see Miaoyuan before.

"Cough~, let's go, the smoke here is too big. Let's go to find Your Majesty first, he is very worried about you!" Li Zhang finally coughed dryly and said, he made his voice as calm as possible, as if something had not happened just now.

"Yeah!" Miao Yuan nodded softly at this time, but still did not look up at Li Zhang. Then the two left here one by one, and the fire behind him began to slowly be controlled, at least not spreading outward. However, the impact of the fire had just begun. As the emperor, Zhao Zhen was trapped in the fire scene and was in danger. This incident alone was enough to make countless heads fall to the ground.
