Chapter 152: Arson
Liu Su did not regret killing King Qin, even if she was given another chance to choose, she would still not hesitate to do so, she hated men who forced women, those men should die! She knew that her thoughts might be a little extreme, but because of what happened to her previous life, it was hard for her not to hate these people. And this is not the first time she has killed someone, after the initial fear, she quickly calmed down, she has faced so many desperate situations, he can't pay for his life because of such a shameless man, so from the moment King Qin died, she has been thinking about how to get out, and her strategy must be completed with Ling Shuang's cooperation, which is why she can still tolerate her.
"We can't let people find out that the prince was killed, and if he dies in an accident, we may be able to get away with it." Lu Wanwan looked at Ling Shuang fixedly and said slowly.
"Accidents? How could it be an accident for a person to die in my bedroom and be stabbed to death with a dagger? Ling Shuang obviously felt that Lu Wanwan was whimsical, and said with a frown.
"Then destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, and once the fire is burned, no one knows how the person died." A grim smile appeared on Lu Wanwan's face, and she said faintly.
Ling Shuang was obviously shocked by Lu Wanwan's words, and only reacted after a while, and asked with a worried expression: "That Wanwan, what are you going to do?" ”
"What can be done, it's very simple, put a fire in the room, now the weather is very dry, it's not easy to catch fire, but to put out the fire, it will take a lot of effort." Lu Wanwan said truthfully.
Ling Shuang listened to Lu Wanwan's words, and the expression on her face suddenly struggled. After a while, he slowly spoke: "Wanwan, after I left the bedroom, I dismissed all the maids outside the door, but they all know that at this moment, only you and the prince are in the room......"
Lu Wanwan glanced at Ling Shuang, who looked uneasy, her eyes were full of ridicule, she knew that Ling Shuang's intention in saying these words was just to sue her. It was she who stayed in the room with King Qin. To burn is also she left in the room to be burned.
"Don't worry, I didn't expect you from the beginning, with your clumsy acting skills, do you think you can fool the princess and everyone in the palace?" Lu Wanwan's sneering look was even worse. Said sarcastically.
Ling Shuang stopped talking. But a flash of resentment flashed in his eyes very quickly.
Lu Wanwan didn't have the heart to speculate on Ling Shuang's thoughts at this time. After pondering for a moment, he spoke again: "You only need to be responsible for finding people, and don't say anything when you are interrogated." Don't forget that I didn't warn you, if this matter is revealed, I am not the only one who dies, and the princess will definitely let us both bury King Qin! ”
Ling Shuang's body couldn't help but tremble, then raised her head, and assured Lu Wanwan with sincerity in her eyes: "Don't worry, Wanwan, I will definitely keep the secret and never show my feet." ”
Lu Wanwan didn't talk to Ling Shuang again, and only said slowly after a while: "You go out, remember not to let people find out that grandma has come in." ”
Ling Shuang immediately wiped away her tears, got up with her hands and feet, and finally glanced at Lu Wanwan, leaving a sentence, "Take care of yourself." He fled and left the room.
With the sound of the door closing, the bedroom finally fell completely silent, Lu Wanwan slowly exhaled, walked to the front of the candlestick, picked up the candle on the candlestick with her slender hand, turned around and walked back to the bed, and lit the layers of gauze tents.
Soon, the tongue of fire devoured the gauze tent, and the fire had spread at an unimaginable speed, and after a while, the entire carved bed was burning, and the bedroom suddenly had thick smoke billowing out, Lu Wan had already wet the handkerchief with tea, covered his mouth and nose, and retreated to the window, thinking about when it would be best to escape from the window for a while.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! The first to notice the fire was a little maid, and when she saw the thick black smoke coming out of Ling Shuang's bedroom, she couldn't help but shout in panic, and then rushed to the yard as soon as possible.
Ling Shuang also pretended to be very panicked, and fled to the yard by the maid, but she was not in a hurry to call someone to put out the fire, she looked at the flames that were burning more and more with a complicated expression, and struggled in her heart, if Wanwan was burned to death in this fire, would the princess not hold her responsible? But she finally still had a trace of sanity, knowing that it was impossible for her to escape Princess Qin's interrogation alone, and Princess Qin had always disliked herself, so she was afraid that she would take this opportunity to kill herself.
"Quickly find someone to put out the fire, the prince is still in the room." Ling Shuang shouted anxiously, already crying, with worry and helplessness on her face.
Princess Qin and Li Wei quickly rushed over when they heard the news, but at this time, the fire had spread to the entire courtyard, almost pouring water into smoke, and the tongue of fire spit out more than a foot away, licking it, and the roasting was unbearable, even those who were fighting the fire did not dare to come forward, the bad thing was that it was just windy these days, and the fire rotated with the wind, and soon became a sea of fire. The long tongue of fire licked on the eaves, and then burned, only to hear the roof tiles explode violently, and the tiles rained down and hail all over the sky, smashing and injuring more than a dozen people who were fighting the fire in an instant. In an instant, there was another explosion, a miserable scream, and the people crawled and fled from the fire, never daring to approach again.
Princess Qin was obviously frightened by this scene, seeing the burning house, and learning that King Qin was still inside, she couldn't stand the stimulation all of a sudden, so she fainted, if it weren't for the two maids supporting her, I am afraid she would have fallen to the ground, and the grandmother and maid beside her could only carry her back to the room first, leaving only Li Wei at the scene, fortunately he was still calm, and ordered someone to soak the quilt, put the barrel on his head and go to the house, covering all the eaves near the fire. The quilt was squeaky and steaming, and the water was constantly splashed, and it still burned one hole after another.
Li Wei blackened his face, pulled over Ling Shuang, who was trembling on the side, and asked sharply, "When did the fire burn?" Why didn't anyone go in to save my father when the fire was small? Also, why aren't you in the bedroom? Why is it only my father in it? ”
Ling Shuang cried and called a pear blossom with rain, and replied tremblingly: "Lord Wang... He took a fancy to one of the concubine's maids, so he let the concubine retreat first, at that time there was not only the prince in the bedroom, but also the concubine's maid, because the door was locked from the inside, so when the people wanted to save people, they couldn't open the door at all, and then the fire was too big, no one dared to save people......"
When Li Wei heard that there was a maid in the bedroom, his heart suddenly tightened, and Ling Shuang tightened and asked, "What's the name of that maid?" ”
Her name was ...... Wanwan ...... "Ling Shuang didn't understand why Shi Ziye was suddenly so excited, she was almost speechless by his momentum, and her arm was also dragged by him and hurt, and she replied with difficulty.
Twisted? Wanwan! She was actually inside, Li Wei looked at the burning house in disbelief, at this time, after the efforts of the subordinates, the fire seemed to be smaller, he barely thought about it, gritted his teeth, took a bucket from the hands of the subordinates around him, poured it all on himself, and then took a soaked quilt, and rushed into the sea of fire before everyone had time to stop it.
Lu Wanwan felt that she couldn't hold on anymore, she originally planned to escape through the window when it was almost time, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and a piece of wood suddenly fell from the beam, blocking the entire window and her way to survive.
What is endless is that Lu Wanwan found a wooden bucket full of water in the bedroom, it should be Ling Shuang taking a bath in the room, and after taking a bath, she didn't have time to pour the bath water, which gave Lu Wanwan a hint of life, she immediately jumped into the bucket, and the whole person was immersed in the water, because she had learned to hold her breath, and it didn't matter if she stayed in the water for a few minutes without ventilating.
Lu Wanwan didn't know how long she had been in the bucket, she only felt that the fire seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, she felt that the water in the bucket was gradually becoming a little warm, she was afraid that if the fire was not extinguished, the bucket would not be able to hold it first.
Suddenly, Lu Wanwan vaguely heard that someone seemed to be calling her name, she didn't know if she was hallucinating, but she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, so she poked her head out of the water slightly and let out a faint cry for help.
When Li Wei arrived in front of the bedroom door, the door was already very fragile by fire, he only kicked lightly, and then kicked the door open, fortunately the fire inside was not as big as he imagined, he gritted his teeth and rushed in, because of the thick black smoke, he couldn't see the situation inside, he could only cover his mouth and shout, when he heard a faint response, his spirit suddenly lifted, and he immediately ran in the direction where the sound came, it was also Lu Wanwan's luck, there was no obstacle near the bucket, Li Wei went there very smoothly, and then saw Lu Wanwan soaked in the bucket, he immediately took her out of the bucket, wrapped her in a quilt, and left the bedroom quickly.
Li Wei rescued people out, and as soon as he returned to the courtyard, a group of people immediately surrounded him, all of them looked at him with pale faces, and saw that he was not injured except for being blackened by smoke, and they were all relieved, after all, King Qin did not know whether he was alive or dead, and if anything happened to the prince, they would really have to bury the two of them.
Li Wei carefully put Lu Wanwan on the ground, carefully examined her, and made sure that she was fine, but she was in a coma, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord Shi, what about the prince?" Mama Zhou, who was beside Princess Qin, saw that Li Wei had rescued someone from the fire, and immediately asked anxiously. (To be continued......) I861
