On a dark and windy night, a man in black rises and falls on the roof of the post house, like a vigorous nighthawk.

After a few takeoffs, the man in black stopped on a roof in the center of the inn, and then leaned over to observe the situation in the courtyard. After looking at it for a while, he saw that no one was moving in the courtyard and was silent, so he flew to the ground and jumped to the ground, his body was light, and he landed silently.

He quietly came to the window of the house where Long Yunli lived, gently poked a hole in the window paper with his fingers, and began to observe the situation in the house.

And the people in the house did not realize that danger was coming.

Inside the room, the candle flame on the table swayed gently, exuding a faint light, Xiang'er was sleeping beside the table, and Long Yunli on the bed was also sleeping sweetly.

After the man in black looked at it twice, he began to act without further delay, he first took a sip of the combustion liquid he carried with him, plucked it in his mouth, then inserted a bamboo pipe into the small hole in the window, and then began to blow the liquid into the bamboo pipe.

These liquids, catalyzed by his internal force, had turned into a white mist when they entered the room through the bamboo tube, and quickly dispersed in the room. This was repeated more than ten times, and when the entire room was completely covered in white mist, he withdrew the bamboo pipe. Then, with a flick of his fingers, a tiny stone shot at the candle on the table.

The candle knocked down by the stone happened to fall on Xiang'er's sleeve, and the sleeve soaked in the burning liquid instantly burst into flames, and soon spread to other places.

"Ahh

Xiang'er's terrible screams came out almost at the same time, and her whole body became a ball of fire, rolling on the ground with a scream. And where she touched, other objects were ignited, and in the blink of an eye, the whole room became a raging sea of fire.

Long Yunli and Xiang'er's screams instantly woke up all the people in the post house, and suddenly, the post house fell into unprecedented chaos......

Changle Palace.

"How's it going?" Zhao Ziheng stared closely at the man in black who hurried back to report the news, and before the other party could speak, he asked first.

The man in black knelt down on one knee and replied respectfully: "Please rest assured that the prince will succeed." ”

Zhao Ziheng didn't seem to believe it, and opened his mouth again to confirm: "Are you sure it's foolproof?" ”

The man in black said in a firm tone: "The subordinates are sure, at that time, the subordinates stopped in the dark corner to observe, the fire in the house has been burning for a while, and the princess and the maid have not escaped, and the people who rushed in to save have not come out." ”

Qing'er on the side answered: "If this is the case, there should be no problem in thinking about it." ”

Zhao Ziheng waved his hand uncertainly, and instructed the man in black: "You go down first, after you make sure that the matter is completed, the bounty will be given to you." ”

"Prince Xie." The man in black answered, and then the figure quickly disappeared like a gust of wind.

Although he received repeated reassurances from the man in black, Zhao Ziheng was still a little uneasy in his heart, and walked around the dormitory uneasily.

Qing'er said softly: "The prince doesn't have to worry too much, even if the princess is not dead, I'm afraid that it will burn out like a human being, so naturally I can't marry the prince again." ”

Zhao Ziheng's heart moved when he heard her words, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You girl, your brain always turns so fast." ”

Qing'er bowed down and said with a smile: "Prince Xie praises." ”

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Qing'er and Zhao Ziheng glanced at each other, and consciously went out to check the situation without waiting for instructions.

After a while, she turned around and replied in a low voice: "Prince, the people from the post house came to report that Princess Yunli had been buried in the fire, and now the whole palace was alarmed, and I heard that the emperor had sent someone to pass on the ministers to enter the palace overnight." ”

After getting such an answer, Zhao Ziheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said as he walked out: "This prince went to see his father and queen mother." ”

Splendid Garden.

"Miss, do you know? Something big is wrong. Early in the morning, as soon as Gu Yunjin opened his eyes, Yue Liushao shouted urgently.

Gu Yunjin glanced at her angrily, "I just opened my eyes, what can I know, what is so much fuss." ”

"Last night, Princess Yunli died." Moon Willow's voice was filled with fear.

Gu Yunjin's dressing action suddenly stopped, and then shook his head resolutely: "Impossible, the day before yesterday, I went to visit the princess with my wife in the post house, her body has improved a lot, how could she die suddenly, don't listen to rumors." ”

Yue Liushao saw that she didn't believe it, and swore anxiously: "The slave swears, what the slave said is true, last night, Princess Yunli's room suddenly caught fire, and the princess was trapped inside and burned alive." I heard from the people in the palace that last night, the general was summoned into the palace by the emperor. Miss, it's true, the slave didn't talk nonsense. ”

It was only at this time that Gu Yunjin had to believe in the authenticity of this matter, and her heart suddenly became dull. was originally a good person, but suddenly disappeared into the world, how can it not be regretted. Long Yunli was afraid that he never thought that the road to the Dacheng Dynasty would be a road of no return.

"Miss, you ...... Are you alright? Yue Liushao saw that she was stunned for a long time and didn't speak, and asked worriedly.

Gu Yunjin shook his head lightly and got up silently.

"Sister, sister." A hurried shout came from outside the door.

Gu Yunjin turned around when she heard this, and saw Gu Yunxin rushing in, presumably she also got the news of Long Yunli's death.

As soon as Gu Yunxin came to her, he grabbed her hand excitedly and said, "Sister, have you heard?" I heard that Princess Yunli was burned to death by fire last night. I don't believe it, the day before yesterday, when we went to see her with my mother, she was fine, and said that we should go to the post house to talk to her when we are free, I don't believe that she died suddenly. ”

Gu Yunjin stroked her pale cheeks, then held her hand and said in a low voice: "The world is impermanent, no one thought that Princess Yunli would go like this." Now no one knows the specific situation, so I can only wait for my father to come back from the palace and ask. ”

"Sister, I suddenly feel so scared." Gu Yunxin's voice couldn't stop trembling, and his hands were cold.

Gu Yunjin held her hand tightly, changed the topic and said, "My sister hasn't eaten breakfast yet, let's eat some at my sister's place." ”

After Gu Yunjin briefly freshened up, he ordered someone to put breakfast on the table, and then pulled Gu Yunxin to sit together.

But both of them were very depressed, and they couldn't eat at all, so they let the maid take them all down without two bites, and then the two of them drank boiled water with a teacup.

"Sister, Princess Yunli is dead, do you say that we are at war with the Qingxiao Parliament?" Gu Yunxin held the teacup tightly in both hands and asked with a pale face.

Gu Yunjin was silent for a moment before he sighed lightly: "It's hard to say now, no one would have imagined that this kind of accident would happen." The war between the two countries is a major event that has a bearing on thousands of people and the country, and it should not be easy to use troops unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

After drinking a glass of water, Gu Yunjin said, "Let's go see my mother." ”

"Okay."

So, the two got up and walked to Shi'an Garden.
