Wei Feng knew very well in his heart that the real culprit who set the fire was Meng Xilan. It was she who single-handedly planned all this, she is such a smart and ruthless woman!

From now on, he will spare no effort to kill her and make her disappear completely......

The palace was ruined, and the crown prince died...... Such an earth-shattering change seems to indicate that the Zhou royal family is about to fall apart and be destroyed. However, in this tense and thrilling moment, Meng Xilan looked at the ashes and wreckage outside the window, slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and showed a hint of an inappropriate smile.

Zhulu sat under the candlestick, her eyes shining, she seemed to have something to say to Jiao Changqing, but she swept her eyes to the palace maid who was in charge of cleaning up next to her, and pursed her lips tightly.

Jiao Changqing was calm and unhurried, and was writing a prescription for his mother, when Zhulu saw this, he only put the candlestick in front of him.

Meng Xilan's eyes were red from crying, red and swollen, but her eyes were attentive and not overwhelmed by the ashes of the ruins in the palace.

Because of this fire, almost everything that could be used for heating in the palace was burned out. When the smoke cleared, it was as cold inside the house as it was outside.

Zhulu had already prepared, and put all the jackets and padded jackets prepared in advance on Meng Xilan's body, for fear that she would suffer from the cold wind.

Meng Xilan was not afraid of the wind and cold, she went to the highest part of the palace, looked in the four directions of the palace, and her originally misty gaze gradually became deeper.

Her crown prince must have escaped from the palace now, where would he be now? In which direction?

The fire in the palace frightened the ministers of the court and the central government one by one, and it was obvious that no matter who set the fire, his purpose was to target the crown prince and even the queen.

There is no doubt that Chu Jingchuan is the most suspicious, after he left the capital, he never went back, and seemed to intend to draw a line with the woman he cared about the most. Maybe it was him, or one of his men, who wanted to burn the entire palace to the ground.

The prince's matter gave Wei Feng a headache.

He searched through all the dead bodies inside and outside the palace, but he did not find any clues about the prince. In this way, Wei Feng had to think of the worst, the prince must have fled, yes, he fled outside the palace.

Compared with the imperial palace, the capital is like a huge labyrinth, and finding people is like looking for a needle in the sea, which is full of difficulties.

Wei Feng had to go to Chu Jingchuan in person to ask for guilt, he was indeed derelict in his duties.

Chu Jingchuan was bent on preparing for war, and his suspicion was greater than his anger about the fire in the palace. In his opinion, this fire must have been deliberately caused. And this person is not necessarily a person in the palace, but it may also be his person......

"The subordinates are incompetent, and the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have not been found for the time being."

"What do you mean you can't find his whereabouts?"

"You can't see anyone in life, and you can't see a corpse in death." Wei Feng paused, and then said: "But the strange thing is that the queen seems to be convinced of the death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Wechen felt that she did it on purpose! General, Ransom Weichen said more, the sudden fire in this palace may have been done by the queen's mother. ”

Chu Jingchuan was furious when he heard this: "What are you talking nonsense? ”

Meng Xilan couldn't do such a stupid thing, what she cared about most was the prince, how could she put him in danger?

"General, this fire in the palace has given the crown prince a chance to escape. It's all the Queen's arrangement! That woman's scheming is unfathomable. ”

Wei Feng was resolute, and only hoped that the general would not be deceived by her again.

"General, as long as you can be ruthless, Weichen has a way to interrogate the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the mouth of the queen mother within three days."

Chu Jingchuan listened to his words, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You want to torture her?" ”

Wei Feng lowered his head: "General, the queen mother must know the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." If there is no crown prince, how can the general coerce the emperor to abdicate and admit defeat? ”

The crown prince is the biggest trump card in their hands, more useful than the queen mother.

Chu Jingchuan knew that Wei Feng had always wanted to get rid of Meng Xilan, and he would do whatever it takes.

"General, in fact, you are also wary of the queen mother in your heart. You know, it's all her trickery and arrangement! ”

Chu Jingchuan's feelings for Meng Xilan have always been love and hate, and now, she is already his person, but her heart may be elsewhere......

"Now is not the time to act recklessly, the crown prince is not in the palace, then he must be in the capital, he can't escape. Wei Feng, I want you to find the prince, no matter what method you use, you can't move Meng Xilan. ”

Wei Feng's eyes sank when he heard this, and his heart was full of disappointment. But he would not give up pursuing the clues, and only said: "The people around the mother, can they move?" ”

The faithful servants by her side, they must know the clues.

Chu Jingchuan's face softened slightly, this time he didn't relent, only said: "If necessary, you can interrogate them." But the most important thing at the moment is the strict defense of the capital, since the prince has already left the palace, he will definitely find a way to get out of the city. He won't go to Meng's house, that's too ostentatious. ”

Wei Feng nodded heavily: "Weichen will find His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

He hurriedly turned around, preparing to return to the palace immediately to interrogate the palace maids and eunuchs beside Meng Xilan, including Jiao Changqing.

…

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhulu cautiously came in with a bowl of white rice porridge.

This is a little bit of food that she has finally collected.

In this situation, it is good to have a bowl of hot porridge to drink.

"Niangniang, eat while it's hot."

Meng Xilan raised her eyes to look at her and smiled slightly: "When is this happening, it's really difficult for you." ”

Zhulu said in a melancholy tone: "The most difficult thing to find in the palace now is food, this meal is over, but the next meal is afraid that it will be difficult." Slave is really worried about you......"

Meng Xilan looked at her and said, "With you, there will always be a way." ”

Zhulu listened to her words, but lowered her head.

"There are no slaves and maids, and there are no orbs. That girl is also much more excited than before, and she will serve people. ”

Meng Xilan paused, and then raised her eyes to look at her.

Zhulu lowered her head and was silent, her eyes covered by a faint mist, which made her vision gradually blur.

"Zhulu ......" Meng Xilan called her softly, and her tone was extremely sad.

She knew what she was thinking. At this point in the plan, they all guessed what they were about to face?

Wei Feng didn't believe that the crown prince was dead, he would come back, and then, he would do whatever it took to find clues and get them from their mouths......

"Niangniang, the slave has been serving you for so many years, and I have never had the opportunity to say a few words to you. Now seems to be the best time to go! Zhulu took a deep breath and calmed down: "Niangniang, if you have the opportunity to leave here, leave the palace and leave the capital, please don't be soft-hearted." Everywhere you go......"

From the day she entered the palace, her life was ruined.

"Zhulu, I've made too many mistakes, so I can only keep making mistakes like this." Meng Xilan wanted to say "I'm sorry" to her, and wanted to say that it was all her fault. But what is the use of such an apology? But it's just talk.

"Niangniang, there is no real right or wrong in this world, it is all in its position and seeking its government...... Everybody is selfish, everybody is like that. ”

Zhulu sighed and continued: "To tell the truth, the slave and maid are already tired, but the slave and maid are unwilling to leave the master alone and deal with those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and the slave and maid are reluctant to you." This time, I'm afraid the slave will have to go first, so you must take care. ”

"Shhhh......h

Zhulu said with a smile: "Don't intercede for me, the slave is not afraid of anything." ”

For the sake of the crown prince, she is willing to do anything.

Meng Xilan raised her head and couldn't stop her tears from falling.

Zhulu held her hand, secretly exerting force.

After nightfall, Wei Feng personally came over and took away Zhulu.

Meng Xilan's obstruction was useless, although Wei Feng couldn't do anything to her, he could take advantage of her cronies.

Wei Feng pushed Zhulu to the ground and stomped on her neck, leaving her breathless.

"The general has an order that Weichen is not allowed to touch a single hair of the queen's mother, so Weichen can only make this decision."

"Wei Feng, the crown prince is dead, and you carried his body to the palace."

Meng Xilan looked at the bamboo dew under his feet, and his heart was like a knife.

Zhulu gasped and struggled with both hands, but Wei Feng worked harder, as if he was going to step on her neck directly.

"That body is not the prince, the prince is not dead." Wei Feng looked at Zhu Lu condescendingly: "The people around you, I will personally interrogate them." I know the moves of the prison of the Criminal Department very clearly, 7749 punishments, no one can stand it, and they can stand it. ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, the expression on her face instantly became hideous.

Zhulu was lying on the ground, her face was bruised, and she reluctantly spoke, "I said...... I said......"

Wei Feng's brows moved slightly when he heard this, and he lowered his eyes to look at her: "What did you say?" ”

Zhu Lu said weakly: "I know the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Prince. I know ......"

Meng Xilan was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't know what Zhu Lu meant?

Wei Feng smiled coldly, then looked at Meng Xilan and said, "Niangniang, let's listen together." ”

After he finished speaking, he raised his feet and watched Zhulu get up from the ground with his chest clutched.

Wei Feng pulled out his long sword, gently picked up Zhu Lu's chin with the blade, looked into her eyes and said, "Your master, it is difficult to protect yourself now, if you don't want to suffer from those flesh and skin, then say it honestly." ”

Zhu Lu grinned suddenly when she heard this, and her laughter was unpredictable.

Wei Feng looked at her coldly, but he felt that it was not good.

Zhulu looked at Meng Xilan, and said with a faint look in her eyes: "Niangniang, the slave maid has taken a step first." ”

As soon as the words fell, she raised her head and slammed into the long sword in Wei Feng's hand, the sword was sharp, instantly piercing her throat, and blood burst out, splashing Wei Feng's face.

"Bamboo dew!" Meng Xilan exclaimed in surprise, only to see Zhu Lu's eyes widen, her body swaying, and she spit out a mouthful of blood towards Wei Feng with her last breath.
