Chapter 854: Self-defeating

Lord Zhao stood at the front, and when he saw the four princes like this, he opened his mouth to persuade: "Your Highness, now that the people are in a leisurely manner, I'm afraid they can't stop it, even if they don't say it, I'm afraid they will talk in their hearts, and at this time, I'm afraid it will backfire." ”

The fourth prince snorted coldly: "So what? Now that I am in charge of the country in place of my father, I am the crown prince, I said to shut them up, they have to shut up, they are not allowed to talk nonsense, hurry down and seal up. ”

The four princes' voices fell on the scene, and everyone didn't dare to say more, so they hurriedly retreated after looking at each other.

Lord Zhao stayed at the end, hesitated for a moment and then walked towards the four princes, but the four princes didn't want to talk to him, so they kept a calm face and walked away, Lord Zhao pouted, and could only follow the ministers to leave.

However, it was really said by Lord Zhao.

The whole capital knows about this matter, and I can't hold it down......

The teahouse inn is closed, the people don't say it in the inn, they don't say it in the teahouse, you can't seal the street, right? Then they say it in the street, in the market, at home, in the house of relatives...... All in all, as long as there are people, it is impossible to really prohibit the fire in this palace.

And because the four princes suddenly came forward to stop it, it made these people with good deeds feel that there was a hidden secret, and they said it even more excessively and rampantly.

"Miss, don't you know, now the people of the entire capital are talking about this matter, and many people say that this little man is the fourth prince, saying that he caused the imperial concubine to fall into the water, so God was angry and sent down the heavenly fire."

Jing'er sent tea with a happy face, and then told her own lady about the things in the capital.

Jiang Yingli took a sip of tea when he heard this, and then handed a scroll to Jing'er: "Who made the four princes behave so abnormally, if he didn't suppress the news at the beginning, I'm afraid that these people would forget it when they talked about it, who let him suddenly order the closure of those inns and teahouses on the cusp of the storm, and arrest those storytellers, the more he is like this, the more he seems to be weak-hearted, who is he talking about if he doesn't talk about him?" ”

Jing'er smiled and hung the calligraphy and painting in the hall: "What Miss said is that he is a thief with a weak heart, otherwise everyone will not talk about him, why should they talk about him." ”

Jiang Yingli smiled, and was about to say something more, when suddenly he saw a green fire in the afterglow, and then as if some mechanism had been triggered, the calligraphy and painting that had just been hung up were all on fire.

Jiang Yingli was immediately stunned, but Jing'er was the first to react, and dragged her young lady from the stool with a panicked face: "Miss, be careful, it's on fire, get out quickly." ”

Jiang Yingli swallowed her saliva, and didn't dare to care about anything else, she followed Jing'er out, and after she went out, Jing'er was ready to go into the house to put out the fire, who knows, after going in, it was already a different scene.

The windows in the room were not closed, and a gust of wind blew in, blowing the burning painting in two, and the second half of the words fell directly to the ground, but fell under the curtain, and for a moment the curtain burnedβ€”the fire became more intense.

Jing'er didn't dare to be ambiguous at this time, turned her head to Jiang Yingli and said, "Miss, you stand farther away, and the slave will call someone to put out the fire." ”

Jiang Yingli looked at this scene in surprise, and after Jing'er left, she hurried to the threshold, at this time, the firelight almost licked her face, and the burning heat on her face made Jiang Yingli have to retreat.

At that moment, the books in the house were all burned, like a chain reaction, and when Jing'er came in and found the young lady standing at the door in a panic, she stepped forward and led her away.

"Miss, don't go over!"

The people she called to extinguish the fire couldn't keep up with the fire, and in a few moments, the whole house was on fire.

Jiang Yingli had to be escorted out of the courtyard by Jing'er and others, who knew that as soon as he arrived at the courtyard gate, he saw the fourth prince and the Hou Ye hurrying over: "Yingliang, what's going on?" ”

The four princes also chased after him at this time, Jiang Yingli glanced at the four princes, and then pointed to the back: "It's on fire." ”

The fourth prince was a little surprised by Jiang Yingliang's meaningful eyes, and before he could ask, he was calmed by the firelight in front of him.

He thought of the fire in the palace, his face sank instantly, the fire in the palace had only passed for two days, and Jiang Yingli was on fire again, was it artificially or a coincidence? The fourth prince was thinking about it, but Jiang Yingli looked at him fixedly.

After the fire was extinguished, Jiang Yingli and the four princes went to the front hall, and the Hou Ye asked, "What the hell is going on." ”

Jiang Yingli raised his eyes at the four princes who were distracted at this time and said, "I don't know, it was the painting sent by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince that suddenly caught fire." ”

As soon as these words came out, the fourth prince came back to his senses violently, and when he saw Jiang Yingli staring at him with a pair of waveless eyes, he stood up in shock and explained: "Yingliang, I don't know about this matter. ”

Jiang Yingli chuckled, seemingly gentle, but his tone was alienated: "I naturally know, although that painting was given by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, it suddenly caught fire, it should not be the work of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”

This is a thorny statement, the fourth prince opened his mouth but didn't know how to speak, if Jiang Yingli was not wrong, it means that the painting did ignite by itself, why?

The fourth prince thought for a moment and then stood up and explained: "It has nothing to do with me, I really don't know, don't worry, I will investigate this matter clearly." ”

Jiang Yingli smiled lightly: "No need, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, I believe you, you haven't solved the matter of the palace fire yet, I don't have to worry about the trivial matters here, the Hou Ye will help me find out." ”

Hearing Jiang Yingliang's rejection and suspicion, the fourth prince was annoyed for a while, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

There was a fire in the palace, and Jiang Yingli had another fire here because of the calligraphy and paintings he sent, even if he said that it had nothing to do with him, no one believed it - not to mention others, he didn't believe it himself!

couldn't explain clearly, and the fourth prince didn't know what to continue to say, so he had to leave in embarrassment, determined to investigate the matter himself.

When the fourth prince left, Jiang Yingli also said goodbye to Hou Ye, but Hou Ye stopped her at this time: "Don't worry, I'll arrange another yard for you, your yard is on fire and needs to be repaired." ”

Jiang Yingli chuckled: "Then thank you Master Hou." ”

Jiang Yingli was temporarily arranged to a smaller courtyard, which was smaller and simpler than the one she lived in, but it was better than living in the burned place.

As soon as Jiang Yingli settled down, Yun Zhu came over to report: "Miss, Lu Gongzi is here, he said that your yard is on fire, and he is very worried about you, so he came to see you." ”

Jiang Yingli nodded and said, "Let him come in, you guys keep an eye on the door." ”

Yun Zhu Jing'er nodded and withdrew, and after a while, Lu Linxie came over, and he looked at Jiang Yingli with a worried face: "How is it, are you okay?" ”

Jiang Yingli shook his head, and then explained: "The first thing to ignite was the calligraphy and painting given by the fourth prince, and for some reason it suddenly ignited on its own, which scared me, but fortunately, Jing'er was clever and pulled me out of the house." ”
