The fire in the palace was not brought under control until early in the morning, but it was not completely extinguished immediately.

Fortunately, the important palace rooms were not affected, and the queen mother, queen, concubines and others evacuated in time, except for minor burns from the palace people, there were no casualties.

But this fire actually burned to his own house, Li Qitian was worried all night, and his depression finally turned into anger.

Sitting in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Li Qitian's eyes turned blue and he looked tired, and he rebuked fiercely: "A bunch of waste! What is the use of raising you? ”

The palace guards and the courtiers who came in a hurry knelt on the ground, everyone was disgraced, and when they were reprimanded, they could only put their foreheads on the ground and plead in unison.

"The Holy One is angry, and the ministers are guilty!"

"Of course you are guilty! In this huge palace, how many guards have I fed, and you are seeing that the New Year is coming, but you let such things happen at the root of the year! You are not afraid that there will be foolish people outside, what do you say? Fortunately, it didn't hurt the Queen Mother and the Queen, if it was hurt, how would you compensate! Even if I cut off your heads, I can't afford to pay for it! ”

"The Holy One is angry!" The crowd kowtowed again.

At this moment, the news of the accident in the prison of the Criminal Department was returned.

Li Qitian's eyes immediately widened.

"Impossible!" Suddenly got up, Li Qitian still looked incredulous: "Okay, how could Anyang go to the prison of the Criminal Department!" She didn't stay in the princess's mansion well, and she had nothing to do in the prison of the Criminal Department! ”

"It's true." The chamberlain who replied was trembling with the anger of the Son of Heaven, and his voice also had a few trembles, "The eldest princess of Anyang went out with the grandmother who stayed by her side, and she didn't go back last night, the steward of the eldest princess's mansion didn't dare to make a noise, and hurriedly ordered someone to look for it, but it was not found here, the prison of the criminal department was discovered, and the place where the other prisoners were held was fine, only the cell of the princess and princess Zhongshun and his party was intercepted, and four jailers were killed, including the eldest princess and the grandmother, six people died......"

Li Qitian stood in place and didn't speak for a long time.

Li Helan is dead?

The sister he used to love, and then annoyed him, died?

And he was killed in prison, and he was stabbed through the heart!

How could his Li Qitian's sister encounter such a thing? He is the Son of Heaven, he is already the most noble person in the Great Zhou Dynasty, why can't he keep his sister?

Even if this sister has become annoying now, and the things she has done often make him feel embarrassed, but that is also his sister, he didn't make an order, who would dare to let her die!

"Bastard! It's the other way around, it's the other way around! Li Qitian flicked his sleeves and pushed the table full of pens, ink, cups and saucers to the ground, everyone trembled with the sound of broken porcelain, and the attendants were even more frightened and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, not caring that the broken porcelain would penetrate their flesh and skin.

Li Qitian angrily kicked over the white porcelain bottle on the three-legged high table, panting like a lion with crazy hair.

"Who would dare to say that the owl has no rebellious heart? He sent people to rob the prison, kidnapped An Yang from the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and assassinated my only sister, and it has been revealed what kind of heart he has! ”

"The Holy One is angry." And the courtiers prostrated again.

There were some doubts in the minds of those present.

What is this Anyang eldest princess doing when she goes to the prison of the Criminal Department? Is she really important enough to be assassinated?

What's more, they have seen the humiliation suffered by Prince Zhongshun these days, and everyone is somewhat unbearable behind their backs. Prince Zhongshun was fighting against the Tatars outside, but the emperor was abusing the prince's wife here, which was not a glorious practice in the first place.

Now that the princess has been rescued, this should be expected, right?

If it is said that the killing of the eldest princess of Anyang was done by the people who robbed the prison, they still believe it, but if it is said that the people who are loyal to the prince deliberately kidnapped the eldest princess and took her to prison, killed and saved the princess in front of the princess, this is not too much.

However, the emperor just said that every word......

Therefore, today I have made up my mind to break with the prince. even planned to blame the death of the eldest princess of Anyang on the prince.

None of the people present were stupid, and no one dared to question them face to face. But everyone also understands that the prince led his troops to the king when the saint did not allow him to enter the city, and later changed the commander after the expulsion of the Tatars, and later tied up the prince's family to humiliate him, all of which came from one reason - jealousy.

Birds hide their bows and rabbits die and dogs cook, which is never a new thing.

Li Qitian was furious and seized the official positions of relevant officials. And the news of the assassination of the eldest princess of Anyang also spread throughout the government and the opposition in an instant.

The Queen Mother fainted from crying on the spot, grabbed Li Qitian's hand and said repeatedly: "Avenge Lan'er, you must avenge Lan'er!" Let the colt kill the evil obstacle of the Xi of the Dawn! ”

Li Qitian's original expression was a little impatient, and suddenly he changed his appearance.

Oh, yes. Even if Ji Zeyu doesn't like Anyang very much, it is also his wife. His wife was killed by the people of the owl, and Ji Zeyu's fiery temperament will have a break with the devil? He has to let the people betray their relatives and leave!

Li Qitian immediately ordered someone to spread the news to the border pass. At the same time, the "ten major crimes" of Prince Zhongshun, who had been impeached, together with the crime of resisting the decree, plus the crime of not only robbing the prison but also assassinating the eldest princess this time, were also announced to the world.

At the same time, the people in the capital are also destined to have a bad year. Because Li Qitian arranged for people to start searching for the whereabouts of Prince Zhongshun in the city.

At this time, Qin Yining had just taken a dose of medicine, leaned on the pillow groggyly, and asked Jiyun to stretch the warm handkerchief into the quilt to wipe her body for her, while listening to the rock candy talk about the situation outside.

"Therefore, Tianjizi's move is equivalent to completely piercing the window paper between the prince and Jinshang." Qin Yining sighed, "Actually, the eldest princess could not die at that time. ”

"She deserves to die!" Bingtang snorted coldly, "That woman is vicious, not only has she coveted the prince several times, but also slandered you and tried every means to torture you, this kind of person deserves her death!" ”

Qin Yining shook his head, his pale and emaciated face was still stained with abnormal flushing, and said weakly and hoarsely: "Whether she deserves to die or not, killing her now can only lead to an earlier break between the Son of Heaven and the prince, and maybe the Son of Heaven will be given a way to convict the prince of his crimes." Tianjizi really wants the prince and the Son of Heaven to have a complete showdown. ”

Now that martial law is under fire in the city, searching for her as a "fugitive" everywhere, Qin Yining can't help but think, if Tianjizi didn't kill Li Helan, but just knocked people out, maybe the situation wouldn't be as rumored as it is now?

But it doesn't make a difference, Li Helan is just a bargaining chip, even if there is no death for her, Li Qitian will not let go of the crime of robbing the prison.

In this era, isn't it what the Son of Heaven says? If the Son of Heaven says that there is a mistake, who dares to say half a word?

"Well, Princess, don't think about it so much. No matter what Tianjizi thinks now, you just need to take care of your body. This time we were arrested together, and we didn't do anything, but it was just you, and you were all covered in injuries. ”

Rock Candy's voice choked up a little as he spoke.

Qin Yining has not suffered injuries, hardships, and humiliations that he has not suffered for many years. They were locked up in prison all day, and they couldn't stand the cold. But the princess had to be put in a prison car that couldn't stand and squat, braved the heavy snow to go to the streets, and the woman from a famous family had to be pointed at by a group of people in embarrassment.

If it was a narrow-minded person, maybe it would have been humiliated a long time ago......

"I'll just take care of it." Qin Yining saw that the two maids were about to cry again, so she hurriedly persuaded softly, "Isn't it okay for me, it's just some skin trauma." ”

"Still saying it's okay? I'm afraid that the whiplash on this body will leave a scar! There is also frostbite on the hands and feet, if you don't get it right, you will get sick every year after that, princess, you golden branches and jade leaves, how can you ever suffer like this! Slaves sometimes really think that if you didn't marry the prince in the first place! Marrying an ordinary peddler pawn, with your wisdom, you can live a prosperous life as a rich wife, but now......" Bingtang wiped his face with his sleeve in distress, but tears fell out disobediently.

Although Jiyun is the person who gave it to Qin Yining, she has followed Qin Yining for so many years, and her loyalty is also on her, thinking about the words of rock candy at this time, she also feels reasonable, and then nodded again and again: "A good woman like the princess, she can live a good life if she marries anyone, why is she so displaced." ”

Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh when he saw the appearance of these two girls, and he also showed a little smile in his weakness: "You guys, when you say this, when you turn around and let the prince listen, he still doesn't know how to be sad." ”

Jiyun immediately thought that there was the Jinghu guard arranged by the prince standing outside the door.

But she still didn't care: "Even if the prince is right in front of me, I dare to say this." Marrying the prince, although he is wholeheartedly devoted to you, it also brings you so much suffering and trouble. Maybe single-mindedness is really precious, but your talent and who you marry may be so good to you? I sometimes think that the prince is just too selfish......"

"Alright." Qin Yining patted the back of Jiyun's hand, "How can there be so many ifs in the world?" Feelings are not a transaction, and it is not that what you give must be equally rewarded. If I give one and hope to get one, isn't that a deal? ”

Jiyun and Bingtang both sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Qin Yining left and right.

Qin Yining took another breath and said slowly: "What's more, I also know that the current life was bought for me after his hard work." Maybe the rest of the peddlers and pawns can give me more security, but when you get something, don't you have to see how much effort it took to get it all for the person who gave you such a thing? The identity of the prince is here, and a stable life is within reach for ordinary people, but for the prince, that is what he can give me with all his might. I know he's been working hard. ”

When Bingtang and Jiyun heard this, they were a little moved for a while.

And Xie Yue, who was standing at the door, also quietly put down the hand that wanted to knock on the door, pursed his mouth, and shook his head movingly.
