294. Fire

Early the next morning, the eldest prince received a letter from Qin Fengyi. The letter was concise and to the point, only to say that Chu Ci joined forces with Zhang Xiaotian and asked the eldest prince to be more careful.

The eldest prince naturally didn't believe it, and at the same time became suspicious of Qin Fengyi. It stands to reason that if he is suspicious, he will use the eyeliner he planted in the Hou Mansion to find out the news.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the informant reported that since the future princess of the Hou Mansion was arrested and imprisoned, the prince of the Hou Mansion poured wine every night, and after being sent back by the king yesterday, he broke up with him unhappily, it is said——"

"How?"

"The informant said that when the king left, he and the prince were both injured, and they looked a little serious."

"Injuries?" When the eldest prince heard this, he narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was pondering. His third brother, he knows, is a mud that can't be helped. And Qin Fengyi also looked down on Chu Ci in every way, and even had the confidence to speak out and ridicule...... But since you went to the Hou Mansion, you should still ask, "Why did King Xian go to the Hou Mansion?" ”

"The prince went out drunk and went to the gate of the prison to make a fuss, and even had a posture of breaking in, during which the carriage of His Royal Highness Xianwang passed by and hit the prince, in order to make amends, His Royal Highness Xianwang personally walked away."

"That's it?"

Of course, the eldest prince also heard those rumors, and they all said that Chu Ci pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and now he is even more involved with the prince of the Hou Mansion, but I am afraid that he also has the intention of seizing the heir.

"After returning to the Hou Mansion, they seemed to have a quarrel over that Miss Zhou, like, like-"

"How?" The eldest prince hesitated when he heard this person's return, and he lost patience, and he frowned and shouted, "Say it neatly!" ”

"Your Royal Highness, you also know that His Royal Highness Xianwang has been unkempt for many years, and that Miss Zhou is also beautiful, although he has a princess, but there is a bad man in it? Seeing that Shizi had drunk too much, he teased that Miss Zhou casually, and angered the drunk Shizi, so——"

"This prince knows."

When the eldest prince heard this, he didn't say much, and the eldest prince also knew Chu Ci's virtue. As for the rumors that Chu Ci intended to take the heir, he didn't take it to heart.

He boasted that he knew Chu Ci well, and he also knew that Chu Ci was the most inseparable from the concubine Lan in the palace. And in Concubine Nalan's palace, the eldest prince also installed a lot of people.

If Chu Ci really has the courage to do anything, Concubine Lan is the bargaining chip of the eldest prince.

However, the eldest prince never thought that the so-called bargaining chip in his eyes was the one who single-handedly cultivated Chu Ci into such an unpredictable character.

As for the 'spies' in Qin Fengyi's mansion, they had already survived in the Hou Mansion for a short time for two or three months before being killed by Qin Fengyi, and they didn't have the ability to spread any news.

- Keeping him for a few months was just to imitate the tone and handwriting of the man's speech, and since he did, there was no need for the spies to survive.

"It's on fire! It's on fire! ”

At this time, there was an exclamation from the backyard of the Great Prince's Mansion, and then I saw a richly dressed woman hurriedly fleeing to the Great Prince's place.

The woman was plump, with a little cinnabar on her eyebrows and eyes, and she looked a little bit of a country.

"What's wrong?" Looking at the woman running over, the eldest prince was slightly displeased, "As the eldest princess, the future crown princess, how can she be so rude!" ”

"Your Highness, there is a fire in the backyard, the fire is too big, it spreads, and it can't be extinguished!" Although the eldest princess was reprimanded by him, her face was still panicked, "Your Highness, the fire is fierce, and it will spread in a short time, so you can't stay here for a long time!" ”

"How-cough-cough-" read the book for a long time

Before the eldest prince finished speaking, he was choked by the smoke and coughed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the smoke billowing out, as if the fire was about to burn into the front hall!

"Let's go!"

Seeing this, the eldest prince didn't say anything more, grabbed the eldest princess's hand and hurriedly walked outside. Although there are many things in the Great Prince's Mansion that are very valuable, Rao is so, and it is not as important as his life.

"What's wrong with you?" Feeling that the eldest princess didn't seem to be pulled by herself, the eldest prince's brows furrowed fiercely, "I can't die here!" ”

"Your Highness, I, my legs are weak and I can't walk." The eldest princess's face was pitiful, and tears were rolling in her eyes, which also made the eldest prince's chest suddenly hold a sullen breath.

"Useless!" He scolded unhappily, but in the end, he picked up the eldest princess, and a touch of shyness directly broke into the eyes of the eldest prince, "Hold on!" ”

Hearing the words of the eldest prince, the eldest princess also answered softly, and then buried her head in the chest of the eldest prince. However, when her gaze swept over the person who had reported the letter, his brow frowned slightly.

'Wow! ’

Buckets of water were splashed one after another, but the fire was too fierce, and it was getting bigger and bigger, that is, the eldest prince and others avoided the open space, and there were no sparks splashing at their feet.

And looking at the raging fire in front of him, the eldest prince's face became more and more gloomy. As for the eldest princess who was held by him before, she also stood quietly beside him and didn't say a word.

"How could it suddenly catch fire?"

The minions and maids of the Great Prince's Mansion were all fighting the fire, and now there were only a few people standing beside the Great Prince.

"Back to Your Highness, it seems to be a spark from the east wing." The person beside him replied respectfully, and told the eldest prince what he had just asked, "I don't know why it's burned so badly." ”

Naturally, this remark could not satisfy the eldest prince, and he immediately raised his hand to give this person a slap.

"Presumptuous!"

However, the palm that has never been empty in the past has been empty this time. Not only that, but the man also grabbed the eldest prince's wrist, and with his other hand, he flipped it violently, and a dagger was held in the palm of his hand!

"Die!"

The guard let out a low snort, and his hands and words rang out at the same time. However, the eldest prince was not stupid in the end, he immediately turned sideways when he made a move, and then flew up and kicked this person away.

And the dagger in the man's hand also fell to the ground in response and slid out of the distance.

"Say! Who let you come! Who the hell are you! ”

The eldest prince was furious, and took a few steps forward and crushed the soles of his feet against the man's wrists, causing the guard to exhale in pain. At this time, the eldest princess also seemed to be frightened and pulled the eldest prince's sleeve, and the whole person hid behind him.

"You have done so many hurtful things, even if no one directs you, there will be people who want your life all the time!" The guard laughed, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he was dead.

"Ahh

When has the eldest princess ever seen such a battle? immediately screamed, making the eldest prince's already gloomy face sink a little more. But at this time, he was not in the mood to scruple about the eldest princess.
