Chapter 618: The Great Fire
It is not surprising that there are some hiding places such as dark rooms and secret rooms in this courtyard, and the second prince ordered: "Take everyone here away and take them into custody." ”
The soldiers immediately escorted the subordinates of the Tang Mansion out, and the second prince said in a deep voice: "Also, burn this courtyard on fire!" ”
Although this annex is very elegant and beautiful, he has suffered great humiliation here, so he does not have any good feelings for this annex.
So it's better to burn it, and the province is upset to look at it, and when he ascends the throne as the emperor, he will rebuild another courtyard.
Moreover, he suspected that Rong Xuan was hiding in this courtyard, so that it would be burned down, so as not to catch Rong Xuan and have any trouble!
Qing Bo was being escorted away, and when he heard the words of the second prince, he immediately stopped, and said loudly: "Second Highness, this used to be the emperor's palace, didn't His Royal Highness care about it at all?" ”
The second prince snorted: "It's just an old courtyard, what's there to take care of!" Hurry up and burn it! ”
Qing Bo shouted angrily: "Who dares! ”
After saying that, Qingbo strode to the front of the hall to block it, and the second prince snorted coldly: "What are you crazy about this old housekeeper?" Are you impatient? ”
Here is the favorite scenery of the young lady back then, and here are the flowers and trees that the young lady was worth by herself, Qingbo shouted: "As long as I, Lin Qingzhi, am still alive, you don't want to burn here!" ”
Seeing the old housekeeper like this, the second prince raised his eyebrows, but he was suspicious, Rong Xuan was hiding in this courtyard!
The second prince shouted: "Kill him and set fire!" ”
A group of soldiers immediately rushed forward brandishing knives and guns, and Qingbo's originally somewhat hunched body suddenly straightened, and his old body was full of strength.
Bang bang
This humble old butler turned out to be a master! The second prince, who was taken aback, couldn't help but take a step back.
The commander of the guards beside the second prince was about to rush forward with the guards with his sword, Ye Bei raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Jingli is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, a mere housekeeper turned out to be the top of the eighth grade, and the old butler was also in the ninth grade when he was in his prime, right?" Temple Ye Bei, it is not in vain to die in my hands! ”
Ye Bei didn't draw his sword, and his iron fist smashed into Qingbo's chest like a boulder falling from the sky.
Boom! Qing Bo took five or six steps back, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Boom!
Boom!
Ye Bei gathered his fists and stood up, and Qingbo smashed into the pavilion like a sandbag.
The second prince raised his voice and said, "Set fire!" ”
Boom, the raging fire began to spread in the courtyard.
The movement of the Tang Mansion finally alarmed Lord Rong, who came out of the mansion with his family and saw the gas of the Tang Mansion Courtyard at a glance.
"Second Highness, what does this mean?" Lord Rong asked with a calm face.
"Of course they set fire to this courtyard!" The second prince said, the fire shining on his face.
There was no screaming in the courtyard, obviously there was no one inside, Lord Rong glanced at the people in the Tang Mansion, and did not find Rong Xuan's figure.
Lord Rong asked, "Is it the emperor's will?" ”
The second prince looked at Lord Rong and said, "Father is already in the sky!" ”
Lord Rong looked surprised and asked, "What?" The emperor is already in the sky? The emperor has always been healthy, how could it be? ”
The second prince said with a sad face: "It's all Zheng Yi's dog thief, it was he who murdered his father and intended to usurp the throne, I accidentally saw through his treacherous plan, and took the forbidden army into the palace to save the driver, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late!" ”
Zheng Yi plotted to kill the emperor and tried to usurp the throne? Who would believe such nonsense? But Lord Rong's heart sank, he already understood that the second prince mutinied and killed the king and his father.
Although Lord Rong was up and down, Huan Hai was overjoyed and angry, and when he heard the news, he couldn't help but change his face greatly, the second prince actually mutinied and killed the emperor!
Lord Rong was deeply saddened and regretted in his heart, why didn't the emperor establish a prince earlier!
The second prince sighed slightly: "Not only that, Zheng Yi also sent assassins to the south and killed the third brother who went to Zhongshan to worship his ancestors!" Alas, when Hongu heard this, his heart was very sad! ”
Lord Rong's face changed again, with a look of shock, the second prince sent someone south to kill Tang Ning?!
Downing is dead?! His son-in-law is dead?!
Lord Rong stared at the second prince and asked, "What about my daughter?!" ”
The second prince said: "The palace is also here for Rong Xuan, and the palace is afraid that Zheng Yi will be unfavorable to Rong Xuan, so he specially brought troops to protect Rong Xuan, but unfortunately, the palace is still a step late, and Rong Xuan is not in the other courtyard." ”
Lord Rong frowned slightly and said, "Not in the other courtyard?" How could she not be in the other courtyard? ”
The second prince smiled: "She is indeed not in the other courtyard, Lord Rong can ask them if you don't believe it!" ”
Xia Hua said nervously: "Madame left the courtyard this afternoon, it was Mrs. Zheng Gonggong who came to pick her up, I don't know where I went." ”
Lord Rong listened with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The second prince said in a deep voice: "The third brother was killed by Zheng Yi, and Rong Xuan was widowed less than a year after she got married. ”
"If Rong Xuan is safe and sound, the palace is willing to accept her into the palace and make her a concubine, which can be regarded as making up for her! What does Rong-sama think? ”
Lord Rong lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I just hope that my daughter is safe!" ”
The second prince said: "Tonight is in chaos, it's better for Lord Rong to stay in the mansion!" “
Lord Rong returned to the house with his family, Mrs. Rong was waiting anxiously, and when she saw Lord Rong coming back, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? Why is the other courtyard of the girl Xuan's water? ”
Lord Rong said in a low voice: "The second prince mutinied, and the emperor is in the sky!" ”
Mrs. Rong opened her mouth wide in shock, and couldn't close it for a long time: "What? The emperor is a guest! ”
Lord Rong nodded heavily, and Mrs. Rong hurriedly asked, "What about Miss Xuan?" Did the second prince go to catch Xuan's girl? Why don't you bring Xuan back! ”
Lord Rong explained: "The second prince did go to catch Miss Xuan, but Miss Xuan was not in the other courtyard, and the maid next to Miss Xuan said that Zheng Yi left the courtyard with Miss Xuan this afternoon. ”
Mrs. Rong panicked: "How could Miss Xuan leave the other courtyard?" Zheng Yi, why did he pick up the girl and leave the hospital? Could it be that the second prince is scolding you, and the girl has been arrested by the second prince? ”
Lord Rong was relieved: "No, when the maid next to Miss Xuan finished speaking, Rong Chengjia nodded at me, it can be seen that what the maid said is true!" ”
At least this means that her daughter is okay for the time being, Mrs. Rong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and asked, "How could Miss Xuan be picked up by Zheng Yi?" ”
This really made Mrs. Rong feel very puzzled, and Lord Rong muttered: "There is indeed something strange in this, as if Zheng Yi knew in advance that the second prince would mutiny and rebel. ”
