Chapter 235: Boiling
The owner of the lantern shop is in a dilemma, and he doesn't know who to give the lantern to.
Princess Gu'an couldn't wait, Feng Mu glared and shouted, "Who is right?" Or is it both right? β
As soon as he drank this, the boss was scared into a cold sweat, and his heart spun around many times.
If it is given to this aunt, although it will make this aunt happy for a while, but in the future, after Lu Ying knows the mystery, she will inevitably be angry with him.
The eighteen martial arts in the edict prison are not something that his small body can bear.
But if it was given to Lu Ying, then Princess Gu'an would not have to smash his shop.
After thinking about it, he didn't have a perfect plan, and beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his head.
In the cold winter wax moon, when he was blown by the cold wind, he only felt a faint pain in his brain, as if he felt the wind cold.
Princess Gu'an urged a few words on the side, "Who is right?" You're dumb, but you're talking? β
The boss gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. Instead of currying favor with Princess Gu'an, it's better to tell the truth.
Anyway, no matter how unreasonable Princess Gu'an is, she didn't answer correctly, and she can't make it difficult for others. At most, don't you want this shop?
He stomped his foot, pointed at Lu Ying with trembling fingers, and said to Ai Ai, "Yes, this adult is right." β
Princess Gu'an's powdery face was suddenly so black that ink was about to drip out.
In front of so many people, she actually answered wrong?
It's a shame.
She grimaced her face and asked her boss, "What is the mystery?" β
The boss is not a fool, although Princess Gu'an is high, he can also see that this princess has a different affection for this Lord Lu, and this look is more like being angry.
However, Lord Lu has already married a wife, which is a well-known thing.
No matter how noble the princess is, there is no reason to be a concubine. Unless you force someone's wife to death.
Seeing that Princess Gu'an's momentum was becoming more and more aggressive, the boss didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and opened his mouth in a trembling voice, "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, yes, yes......"
"What the hell is it, you might as well say?" Princess Gu'an lost her patience and became ferocious, so frightened that the boss blurted out in a hurry, "It's a love affair, and it's eternal!" β
Princess Gu'an's eyes widened, and she only felt incredible.
A lantern riddle wants to make it so affectionate.
Isn't that a slap in the face?
Her thoughts about Lu Ying were clearly written on her face, but she guessed wrong, how ironic!
Looking at Princess Gu'an's somewhat swaying body in the wind, the boss first gave the peony lamp to Lu Ying, thought about it, took off the lotus lamp, and handed it to Princess Gu'an with the courage at first glance.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, that peony lamp is suitable for couples to carry. This lotus lamp is fresh and bright, and the workmanship does not belong to the peony lamp, so it should be a small gift for Her Royal Highness the princess to make a gadget. β
Lu Ying took the peony lamp, saluted modestly, took Cai Wei's hand and left.
Princess Gu'an watched Lu Ying with a blank eye as she carried the lamp of "Love and Affection for a Long Time", holding the hand of the beautiful woman and leaving, so angry that her chest rose and fell, where is she still in the mood to care if the lotus lantern looks good or not?
She hasn't seen anything good in the palace, how can she look down on this folk craft?
The reason why I came to join in this excitement was that I was frightened by the peace policy of the third prince of Tatar, and I wanted to come out to relax, but I didn't expect to meet Lu Ying.
She held her breath and wanted to win the peony lantern with Lu Ying for a long time, but the sky was not as good as people wanted, so Lu Ying grabbed the first prize, not to mention, the mystery is still so ironic!
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't wait to kill the chattering boss, seeing him hand over the lotus lantern, Princess Gu'an flicked her sleeves and brushed them to the ground, sneering gloomily, "Diao Min, it's so tricky to make a lantern riddle!" This princess is obviously looking at you to become inflammatory, and she is just going to befriend Lord Lu. β
The boss can't scream bitterly, if he tends to be inflammatory, he should also stammer, this princess. Compared to Lord Lu, the princess is a lady of the sky.
But he also knew in his heart that Her Royal Highness the princess must be unhappy in his heart, and just sprinkled fire on him.
Seeing that the wax in the lotus lamp was burning the lotus lantern, he didn't dare to pick it up, so frightened that he knelt on the ground like sieving chaff, trembling, "Your Royal Highness Princess, it's all the fault of the little people, the little people have eaten lard and are blinded by their hearts, so they shouldn't have such tricky lantern riddles." β
"Come on, smash this tricky lamp shop for this princess." The anger in her heart was still depressed, and Princess Gu'an didn't care whether there were onlookers around, and with a wave of her hand, a dozen or so guards with knives came up.
The onlookers were so frightened that they were scattered, and when the boss saw that the princess was really coming, he was so frightened that he cried, "Your Royal Highness the princess, this is a small business, you have a lot of adults, don't be like the small one." If you think which lantern riddle is not good, Xiaomin withdraws, don't burn Xiaomin's shop. There are old and young people in the small people, and the family of seven or eight people all point to this to eat. β
These words are extremely pitiful, not to mention the tears of the hearers, and the sadness of the listeners, it is really unbearable.
But Princess Gu'an is angry, where can she manage so much? I wanted to vent my anger wholeheartedly, and when she saw the boss kneeling on the ground blocking her, she was so angry that she kicked the boss's heart.
"Shouting again, believe it or not, I'll burn you together?" She threatened this boss, in her eyes, killing someone is as easy as pinching an ant to death, what is the owner of this lantern shop?
However, the commander of the guards hesitated and asked Princess Gu'an, "Princess, it's not easy for us to get out of the palace, but don't make trouble!" β
"Do you listen to Princess Ben?" Princess Gu'an was not happy, her willow eyebrows were raised, and she glared at the commander of the guards, "This princess knows that you are afraid that your father will blame you!" But don't worry, if this matter reaches the ears of your father today, you just have to push it on this princess and see what your father can do! β
Although the commander of the guards had a difficult face, Princess Gu'an was forced to force him, and he had to "act for the tiger" and ordered his brothers to come forward and light the fire.
Those guards all have fire folds in their hands, and most of the lanterns in the shop are made of paper, which can be poured at once, just like **, the lantern shop caught fire with a bang.
Princess Gu'an didn't just leave, standing not far away, looking at the night sky where the flames were boiling, there were a little crumbs like jackdaws, and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, good, burn well, look at how long you can fall in love with each other!" β
Ju Qing, the palace maid who was close to her, looked at Princess Gu'an's hideous side face in the firelight and was a little frightened, and whispered, "Princess, it's not early, it's time to go back." It's too late, and if you drop the key, you'll be in trouble. β
Princess Gu'an glared at her dissatisfiedly, "It's really a disappointment, I didn't see that this princess was happy to watch." β
Ju Qing didn't dare to say more, but she sweated for Princess Gu'an in her heart. When the time comes, the emperor will blame him, but how should he explain it?
The lantern shops were all next to each other, and the entire right hand side of Suzaku Street was full of lantern shops, and this time the family was on fire, and the rest of the families were also panicking.
The northwest wind blew tightly, and the fire took advantage of the wind to burn the adjacent shop with an unstoppable momentum, and the owner of the lantern shop hurriedly went to grab the hanging lantern. But before he could pick a few, the fire had already reached the roof.
The boss had to run outside, and watched the lanterns made after staying up all winter being swallowed up by tongues of fire, so he had to squat on the ground and cry.
The pedestrians who watched the lanterns on the road were also frightened by the sudden fire, and a few of them wanted to put out the fire with water, but the fire was too big, and the water was just a drop in the bucket.
Lu Ying took Cai Wei's hand and carried the peony lamp along Suzaku Street slowly, and later saw that the pedestrians on the street were chaotic, he was afraid of colliding with Cai Wei, so he quickly pulled Cai Wei to the porch of a shop.
When they looked in the direction where the pedestrians were coming, they saw a distant fire rising into the sky, and black smoke rising into the sky, reflecting half of the sky red.
Lu Ying knew that the water was gone, so she hurriedly ordered someone to call the people from the city defense camp to come over with fire-extinguishing equipment.
The men of the city defense battalion rushed and brought fire extinguishers to extinguish the fire.
At this time, Princess Gu'an had returned to the palace with her people, and she didn't see the "grand occasion" of Suzaku Street being burned to the sky.
Seeing this, Lu Ying had no choice but to say to Cai Wei, "You go home first, I have to take someone to clean it up and see if there are any casualties." β
At this time, Cai Wei naturally couldn't hold him back, and nodded, "It's okay, you be careful, don't be hurt by the embers." β
She had already heard the boss who was sitting on the ground crying that Princess Gu'an had done it, and she was sitting in the carriage all the way, and she was still silently thinking about how this stubborn princess could be so ruthless?
It is said that it is terrible for women to be jealous, and they have all kinds of means. But I never expected Princess Gu'an to take other people's lives as child's play.
The emperor doesn't care about teaching anymore, and he doesn't know what kind of mess this Gu'an princess can poke. Could it be that if you are a royal princess, you can do whatever you want?
The emperor is not qualified, as a father, how can he not teach the duty?
On the second day, the sixteenth day of the first month, the first morning of the new year.
Early in the morning, the court fryed the pot.
Those imperial historians played one after another, saying that Princess Gu'an ordered someone to burn Suzaku Street last night.
The emperor was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. He still couldn't believe that his daughter could break into such a catastrophe.
He saw Lu Ying standing in the third row of military attachΓ©s with his head hanging and not saying a word, so he raised his voice and asked Lu Ying, "Lu Aiqing, do you know about this matter?" β
Lu Ying hurriedly came to the center of the main hall and knelt down to pay respects, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case." Later, the minister led the people of the city defense camp to extinguish the fire, but the fire was too fierce, burning a total of 213 shops, a total of 200. Fortunately, there were no casualties. The minister has brought all those shopkeepers to the yamen of the Zhenfu Division to wait. β
"Huhu" The emperor barely gasped twice, and glared at Shuntianfu Yin again, "Do you know?" β
"The minister listened to Lord Lu's report last night, but the palace gave the key, and the minister couldn't play!" Suncheon Mansion Yin reported according to the truth.
The emperor's panting voice became louder and louder, and there was a whirring sound in his throat, like a broken bellows.
In the hall of Nuoda, even the ministers could hear it clearly.
The civil and military officials all listened to it very well, and they didn't dare to speak out, for fear that the emperor would protect his shortcomings, but it would not be good.
"Prince, what do you think of this matter?" The emperor put his two hands on the armrests of the spacious dragon chair, and the green tendons on the back of his hands jumped straight, staring at the crown prince Zhao Zhen deadly.
This is the sister of his mother's compatriots, and he wants to see what the prince has at this time.
"Back to my father," Zhao Zhen was shocked, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down in the center, and said loudly, "If this matter is really found out to be committed by my sister, my son thinks that it can be dealt with according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty." β
In the Ming Law, those who deliberately set fires will be exiled at least and beheaded at worst.
But this arsonist is the daughter of the former queen, does he really want to be exiled or beheaded?
Everyone thinks that the emperor will not be so ruthless and put his daughter to death?
"Okay, since she is unkind and unjust, don't blame me for being ruthless." The emperor closed his eyes, and his somewhat puffy face was even more tired, looking old.
In the past few days, he has been quite interested in Mu Caiping, who has just entered the palace, and I don't know what means Mu Caiping has used, the kung fu in bed is particularly powerful, he can't stop as soon as he is next to her body, he has been unable to spoil the harem for many years, he is like a rejuvenation, he is a dragon and a tiger, and he can ask for several times a night.
It's just that since then, he will inevitably be in poor spirits during the day, and his eye circles will be dark. Now that Princess Gu'an is angry, she is even more dizzy and almost faints.
"That's it, let's disperse first." He waved his large, withered hand and said weakly.
Lu Ying didn't ask how to deal with the princess, anyway, he said everything that should be said, as for how to deal with it, it was the emperor's business.
After going down to the court, Lu Ying walked out of the Heart Nourishing Hall and was walking towards the palace gate, but was stopped by the people of Prince Zhao Zhen, "Lord Lu, Your Highness is affectionate." β
Lu Ying hurriedly followed the servant to see Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen was waiting for him in a secluded place, and when he saw Lu Ying coming, he hurriedly took a few steps and asked, "Lao Jiu, what happened last night was really done by Gu'an?" β
"Yes, the minister has already brought all the witnesses to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, waiting for the handover with the Shuntian Mansion."
"So, you were there at the time?" Zhao Zhen's expression was a little weird, and he kept staring at Lu Ying's eyes.
Lu Ying's eyes flashed, and she said indifferently, "The princess and the minister guessed a lantern riddle together, and then the minister guessed, took the lantern and took the lady back, who knew that he saw the fire in the middle of the road, and when he went back, the lantern shop that guessed the lantern riddle had already burned, and asked the owners of those shops, and they all said that it was the princess's work." β
This is an ironclad matter, even if Zhao Zhen wants to exonerate the princess, it will be difficult to block the mouths of Youyou.
He has no pity for what the emperor does with the princess, she deserves it, and she is to blame. That long Vermilion Bird long street, how could it be prosperous in the past, just for her own selfishness, she could set fire to a long street, leaving so many people homeless, how can Gu'an be worthy of being this royal princess?
Zhao Zhen's face was unpredictable, and he sighed for a long time, "Speaking of which, the princess is still ...... for you"
Lu Ying's eyes jumped, and she hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, the minister doesn't dare to be, the princess is the emperor's concubine, how can her identity be honorable?" The minister is just a concubine, and he is already a husband, so he will never dare to defile Her Royal Highness the princess. β
"You know that the princess doesn't care......" Zhao Zhen was anxious and blurted out.
"The minister is terrified." Lu Ying took a step back and loudly interrupted Zhao Zhen's words.
What does the prince want to do? What about the princess's interest in him?
How could he ever like Princess Gu'an? 's arrogant and domineering temperament, I'm afraid no man dares to like it.
Zhao Zhen couldn't take him, he thought that by saying this, Lu Ying could have some understanding of the princess's intentions, but now it seems that it is completely hot to shave his head. Lu Ying was unmoved.
It was also in vain that the princess was sincere to Lu Ying.
It's a pity that he is the crown prince, and he can't restrain people's feelings, and he can't interfere in the affairs of his own sister.
"Okay, then after my father sends someone to verify, I think he will give an explanation to those homeless merchants." Zhao Zhen was a little understated, and he didn't look at Lu Ying after speaking, and walked away with the waiter.
Is this angry?
Lu Ying sighed softly and immediately walked towards the outside of the palace.
The crown prince only has this sister, so he is naturally reluctant to let the emperor dispose of her.
But don't forget, he Lu Ying only has Cai Wei as a wife in his life, and whoever collides with Cai Wei will be angry with her, even if it is a princess!
It seems that he should add fuel to the fire and let the third prince of Tatar mention the matter of peace with the emperor again.
If you can send Princess Gu'an far away, don't stumble Cai Wei, but it's his top priority. Otherwise, when Princess Gu'an knows that Cai Wei is pregnant, she will come up with other tricks, but she can't prevent it. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
