Chapter 56: A fire in the cave room
Inside the cave room, it was deserted, but outside the cave room, it was a staggered plan.
"Huh! Where are you going? Sit down and drink with me! ”
Changxian turned his head to look at Qingyang, who was tugging on his sleeves and not letting him go, frowning, struggling to break away, and said angrily, "Can you look like a girl's family?" What kind of system is pulling! ”
Qingyang simply hugged his arm and looked up at him, "When did you pay attention to decency, and now you are talking about me?" ”
Changxian sighed helplessly and softened his tone, "Grandma, I'm going to give my fifth brother a toast, right?" ”
Qingyang glanced at Changli, who was busy socializing not far away, before he let go of his hand with interest, "Okay then." ”
Seeing her let go, Chang Xian immediately took the wine glass, turned around and walked to Chang Li's side.
Seeing that Changli had finished dealing with a few guests, he immediately stepped forward and interjected, "Fifth brother, junior brother hereby congratulates the fifth brother and the county lord and the county lord and Meimei, and raised his eyebrows. ”
Changli glanced at him, with a rare smile in his eyes, and drank the wine in the cup as soon as he raised his head.
Chang Xian drank a glass of wine, looked at Chang Li, and there was some ridicule in his expression, "I said fifth brother, didn't you have no interest in these children's love in the past?" You said you want to marry, there are more girls in Quan Anling who want to marry you, why do you fall in love with this aunt? ”
Changli poured the cup full of wine, and his expression was a little soft, "These things will be known when you encounter them." ”
The smile on the corner of Changxian's lips was even greater, and he sighed, "If it's really three thousand weak water, only take one scoop." ”
Not far away, the prince looked at the two with a light smile, his expression was a little unpredictable,
He put his right hand on the tabletop, as if inadvertently tapping the tabletop with his index finger, and glanced at Master Xu.
Lord Xu understood, stood up quietly, walked to the side, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

In the cave room, Ami was so hungry that she couldn't even raise her hand, she collapsed on the bed weakly, looked at the top of the bed, and said weakly, "How long will it take for the front to end?" I'm going to starve to death......"
Xiaolian's face was a little worried, and she subconsciously looked out the window, "Sister Ami, it's just past the unitary hour, and it's still early!" ”
Ami covered her stomach and turned over, her tone complaining, "Who came up with this broken rule!" The bride's big day, can't eat? ”
Xiaolian thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you ...... I'll go to the dining room...... Look? ”
When Ami heard this, she felt a little more energetic, pulled her head, and looked at her with some expectation, "Really? Then don't be discovered! ”
Xiaolian nodded, stubbornly comforting herself, "Let it go...... Rest assured! I'm the princess's people, and they can't do anything to me if they find out. ”
Ami nodded with satisfaction, and lay down again, thinking about those pastries and eating, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
After a while, the door was gently pushed open and closed again.
Ami tossed for a day, she was already dazed and a little sleepy, and when she heard the sound of the door opening, she thought that Xiaolian must have come back, so she woke up again.
She wanted to sit up with her arms propped up, but she didn't expect this sleepiness to come fiercely, and she hadn't eaten for a long time, although she was awake, she was very weak, and she felt soft all over, so she just lay down and slowly talked about it first.
She cleared her throat with a smile in her voice, "Let me see what good food you've brought back." ”
She waited for a while, but she didn't hear anyone respond, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Although Xiaolian is a quiet girl outside, in front of her, she has always said something, and she has never been so silent.
She opened her eyes, raised her head slightly, and glanced forward, her eyes widening.
The person who came in was not Xiaolian at all, but Mingxin!
Ami's heart jumped, and she suddenly had a bad premonition, and she was about to turn over, but she was weak, and she fell backwards as soon as she stood up.
Seeing that she wanted to get up, Mingxin immediately rushed over and pressed her under him, raised his right hand, and a bright light flashed.
Ami found out that she was still carrying a dagger, and was shocked and wanted to push it away, but she was crushed to death and couldn't move.
Mingxin brandished his dagger and stabbed Ami in the chest without hesitation.
Ami's eyes widened, she turned sideways with all her strength, and the dagger stabbed at the position of her left shoulder, and the blood gushed out at once, wetting the dress, and the red blood stains looked less dazzling against the background of the big red wedding robe.
The pain of the dagger piercing into the flesh made Ami wake up suddenly, the tip of her nose was filled with the smell of blood, she lifted her leg hard, lifted Mingxin aside, and supported herself with her right hand, got up from the bed, and ran a few steps away to the table.
She held the dagger in her hand, leaned against the table, and turned to look at Mingxin in disbelief, "Why?" I've told you all, I didn't do that? Why are you doing this? ”
Mingxin turned to look at her, smiled coldly, and asked with a somewhat sad expression, "Why?" Why do you say? Who said they wanted to help me in the first place? But now? And who sat in the marriage room of the king's house? And I'm ...... I have changed from a lady praised by everyone in Anling to a **! Anyone can step on two feet! ”
She looked grim and stared at Ami, "And all of this has nothing to do with you!" ”
Ami knows that she is right, and that she does have an unshirkable responsibility for things to become like this.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, followed by an exclamation from the people in the house.
"Oh no! It's on fire! ”
Ami frowned, turned her head to look out the window, and sure enough, there was a fire outside.
She turned around nervously, walked towards Mingxin, grabbed her arm and dragged her out, "Miss Ye, we'll talk about these things later, we have to get out of here now, the fire will soon spread to ashes......"
Before Ami finished speaking, Ming Xin shook his hand fiercely.
Ami's wound on her left shoulder was oozing blood, and with the lack of physical strength, her leg fell to the ground as soon as she went limp.
Mingxin looked at her with a watery light in his eyes, and smiled almost madly, "Haha...... Hahaha...... This fire came just right, anyway, with my current appearance, even if I am alive, I am just a shameless woman who doesn't even dare to go out of the house, it is better to drag Princess Rui to be buried in the fire together, but it is not a loss...... Haha......"
Ami knew that she wouldn't listen to anything she said now, so she strained herself to her feet and staggered towards the door with the help of the surrounding furnishings.
Seeing that she wanted to go out, Mingxin looked ruthless, took a few steps forward and grabbed her shoulder, and pulled her back heavily, pulling her to the ground.
Ami's shoulder injury was already painful, but this time her left shoulder landed on the ground, she only felt as if there were countless knives piercing the wound together, and the tearing pain made her feel a layer of cold sweat, her throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of her lip.
At this time, the fire had spread to the house, and the room was full of wooden tables and chairs and red curtains, which added to the fire, and the flames flew high, rolling up puffs of smoke, choking the two of them a little unable to open their eyes.
There were some chaotic footsteps outside, followed by the sound of water splashing on the ground, and I thought that people from the house had rushed to put out the fire.
"Have you informed the prince?" It's the housekeeper's voice.
"Someone has already been sent."
"On a big day like today, you actually have such a fork, and the prince will not spare you at that time!"
After a moment of silence, the butler suddenly asked nervously, "The princess is still inside." ”
"Small...... The little one didn't see anyone come out. ”
The housekeeper was furious, "Don't send someone in yet!" ”
According to the ancient way of fighting fires, by the time they put out the fire, the house should have burned down to the ground.
Ami thought for a while, lay on the ground and turned over with difficulty, looking at Ming Xin, "You also heard it, the government will send someone in soon, and your appearance here at this time will only make them think that you deliberately set the fire." ”
Ming Xin coldly hooked the corners of his lips, "I'm not even afraid of death, am I still afraid of these?" ”
"What if you can't die?"
"Can't die?" Mingxin said, suddenly squatted down and stared at Ami, "The princess is in my hands, as long as I don't step out, what can they do with me?" ”
"Could it be...... Do you want the prince to misunderstand you even more? ”
Ming Xin was stunned for a moment, and stood up awkwardly, his expression was a little stubborn, "Death is dead, what else do I care about?" ”
The fire was getting closer and closer, and Ami felt as if her whole body was being scorched, burning and aching, sweat was already soaking through her clothes, and some messy hair was clinging to her cheeks.
She looked at Mingxin and smiled, "Since you hate me so much, why don't you just kill me and talk nonsense with me!" ”
She remembers that when she used to watch TV series, most of the plans would fall short because of too many words.
Mingxin moved a place where the fire was a little smaller, looked at her, and smiled a little proudly, "That's not too cheap for you, you were slowly burned to death by the fire, burned beyond recognition, and that taste is even more unforgettable." ”
At this time, the fire had already enveloped the entire house, and the roof had also spread, faintly showing some signs of collapse, and the doors and windows around had been blocked by the flames, and the best opportunity to escape had been missed.
The door was slammed open from the outside, and the tongues of fire surged outward with a wave of boiling heat, and several of the subordinates who were about to enter the room took a step back in exclamation, looked at each other again, and rushed into the house.
But before he could enter the house, he was pushed away by the fire again.
Ami looked outside the door, suddenly a little desperate and unwilling, after crossing once, she didn't want to die like this.
She couldn't hold it anymore, she closed her eyes slightly, and in the last moments of light, she saw a piece of charred wood falling from the roof, and it was smashing against Mingxin's back......
In the front hall, a subordinate hurriedly ran in, leaned over Changli and said something in his ear, Changli's face suddenly changed greatly, and he rushed out without leaving a word.
Everyone didn't know when it happened, and they all turned their heads to look at Lord Rui who was hurrying away.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Chang Xian hurriedly grabbed the subordinate who had just come to deliver the news, "What happened?" ”
The man panicked, "Over there in the prince's bedroom...... It's on fire! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around.
At this time, a little girl in an emerald green Luo skirt ran in, her expression was full of anxiety, and after looking around, she ran straight to the Taifu.
"Sir! Madam! Oh no! Small...... The young lady has come to the palace! ”
The two Taifu followed the sound and looked over, and saw the smoke panting and running towards this side.
"Didn't Xin'er say no? Why did it come over all of a sudden? ”
Yan'er stood still in front of the two of them, and before she even had time to catch her breath, she explained, "Little ...... The young lady originally said that she could not come, but in the evening, she suddenly said that she wanted to come, and the slave and maid could not stop her, so she followed all the way to the palace, but after the young lady came in, she asked the guard at the door to stop me outside, and the guard was called for some reason, and the slave and maid were able to come in. ”
Taifu's face was anxious, and he stood up from the chair, "Where is the young lady now?" ”
"Miss should be looking for the princess now!"
After hearing this, Taifu thought of the fire in the cave room just now, and was anxious and angry, and hurriedly walked out.
Mrs. Ye went out together with a sad face, and when Yan'er saw the two leaving, she also hurriedly followed.
The prince sat not far away, looking at the scene in front of him, a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, "This thing...... It's getting more and more interesting. ”
