Chapter 70: Arson
It's late at night.
The bedroom of the Begonia House is still lit up.
Murong Xi was so angry that as soon as she lay down, she could see Jiang Huaiyin's sneering face.
People want to tear his face and pierce his eyes!
I simply got up, moved a chair and sat in front of the brazier, roasting my hands while waiting for rust.
Bai Lu and Shen Yue didn't dare to go to sleep, nor did they dare to ask Murong Xi what happened.
can only wait quietly on the side.
The back of Murong Xi's hand was rubbed red, and Rust finally knocked on her door.
"Princess, it's a subordinate."
Murong Xi went to open the door in person, and at first glance, he saw the cannonballs piled up behind the rusty rust like a hill.
"So much?"
"Isn't it the princess who says as much as possible?" Rusty didn't know what to do all of a sudden, in order to complete the princess's task, he went into all the shops selling fireworks and firecrackers in the capital in the dark!
Murong Xi's mood improved, and he waved his hand, "The more the merrier, you prepare and bring the artillery with me." β
After speaking, he turned back to the egret and said, "Egret, you go find two night clothes, and we will go out." β
"Yes."
The egret responded, doubtfully withdrawing to prepare.
-
Heavy snow began to fall in the night sky, scraping on Murong Xi's face, like a poisoned knife, painful and painful.
Rusty walked in front of Murong Xi with a large basket of cannons on his back, his elbows raised to resist the blizzard that flew into his eyes.
"Princess, that's it ahead."
"Okay, hurry up. Get it done before dawn! There was some excitement in Murong Xi's words.
After holding her breath all night, she finally found an outlet, how could Murong Xi not be excited?
In order to avoid being discovered, they didn't even sit in the carriage, and the three of them braved the heavy snow, each carrying a basket of artillery on their backs, and walked towards the Grand Prince's Mansion on foot.
Murong Xi grinded her back molars, if she doesn't blow up the Great Prince's Mansion tonight, she will be a traverser in vain!
After continuing to walk for about a quarter of an hour, Rust finally stopped, unloaded the artillery behind Murong Xi first, and then pointed to the magnificent mansion not far away, and said, "Princess, there is." β
Murong Xi nodded and stared at the Prince's Mansion tightly, "The garrison must be very strict, right?" β
Most of the times she and the eldest prince met in Cining Palace, and they also lived in Changchun Palace when they stayed in the palace.
Murong Xi underestimated the eldest prince, and the mansion outside the palace was so magnificent.
The resentment in my heart is even heavier.
Egret and Rust both took a few steps forward and took a closer look at the layout of the Prince's Mansion, and Egret took the lead in speaking: "There are people waiting, but it is not difficult for the princess to enter." β
Rust frowned, "Or the princess is still hereβ"
"Shut up!" Murong Xi glared at him, knowing what he was going to say.
Tonight's anger is too strong, and if she doesn't set fire to it with her own hands, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in her heart!
"Rusty, you take two baskets of artillery to the firewood room first, and then come out to pick up me and the egret." Murong Xi immediately made a judgment.
Rust wanted to speak and stopped, and after receiving a look from the egret, he still did as Murong Xi instructed.
Thanks to the heavy snow tonight, the flying snow flakes will cut through the already gloomy line of sight, making a natural barrier for Murong Xi and the three of them to sneak into the prince's mansion.
Murong Ji tiptoed his hands and feet and walked in the dark prince's mansion.
In front is rust and rust leads the way, and behind is the egret after the break.
Rust suddenly raised his hand and motioned for Murong Xi to stop, and the three of them immediately leaned sideways against the wall in the shadows.
"Hey, Your Highness has a lot of temperament tonight, thanks to the fact that we didn't go to the dormitory to patrol, otherwise we would have beaten people like last time, and you and I would have suffered!"
"Who's to say it isn't? Did you notice? Recently, as long as His Royal Highness enters the palace, there will be no good thing after he returns. β
"It's strange to say, the lady in the palace must regard His Royal Highness as a treasure, how can she be so popular? I heard that His Highness is still called the house doctorβ"
"I heard that I can't get out of bed, and I've called a few girls!"
"Tut-tut......"
Later, because the two of them distanced themselves from Murong Xi, Murong Xi didn't hear it clearly.
However, judging from the words of the two, Murong Xi had already guessed the approximate.
Her palm must have hurt the eldest prince a lot!
But just to quench her anger?
Murong Xi snorted coldly, "Go to the firewood room!" β
Rust and Egret nodded slightly, and the three of them walked in the direction of the firewood house in the darkβ
"Bang! Bang! Bang! β
The deafening explosion was unaffected by the snow, and resounded throughout the alley......
After three rounds of drinking, the eldest prince who wanted to be immortal and wanted to die was shocked by the explosion, and his scalp was numb, and the whole person suddenly became energetic.
He pushed away the beauty pressing on his body, kicked the woman kneeling on the couch again, his eyes widened like copper bells, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? β
Outside, there was a blaze of fire and thick smoke.
After a moment of silence, the noisy shouts continued.
"Oh no, it's out of the water! Come and protect Your Highness! β
The entire Prince's Mansion was shrouded in firelight.
The servants who were scurrying around were looking for water sources with vessels that could hold water, and more than a dozen guards rushed into the prince's bedroom, ignoring the prince's emotions, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the palace is watery, please move to a safe place as soon as possible." β
The eldest prince was frightened, and the flames rose higher and higher, as if in the blink of an eye, they spread from the southeast corner of the mansion to his bedroom.
Quickly putting on his boots, the eldest prince grabbed a cloak, surrounded by several guards, and walked out.
The cold wind poured in suddenly, mixed with fine snow and frost, and the eldest prince shivered, "How could there be a fire?" β
"The cause of the fire still needs to be inquired, Your Highness is afraid that tonight it is-"
The guard at the head stared at the menacing flames and pursed his lips, "I'm afraid I'm going to enter the palace or find an inn." β
The eldest prince was so angry that he couldn't speak, his crooked sideburns completely collapsed very appropriately, his messy hair fluttered in the wind, and his former gentle temperament suddenly disappeared, replaced by endless embarrassment.
"How do I get into the palace like this? Find a reliable inn first, tidy up! β
The eldest prince is in a hurry, what day is today? Why is it not going well?
As soon as he walked out of the main gate of the prince's mansion, the eaves of the main hall in the mansion were burned by the flames, and with a "boom", it collapsed.
The eldest prince clenched his fists, looked back at the mansion he was once most proud of, and gritted his teeth and said: "Give me a good job of finding out the cause of the fire, I will let the arsonist even the nine clans!" β
-
On the same night, in the palace study, which was only three streets away from the prince's mansion, Jiang Huaiyin sat in the dark without moving, examining his heart back and forth.
Just as he was about to grasp the trace of emotion that was difficult for him to control, a golden light flashed in his dark pupils, and a cluster of flames suddenly soared into the sky in the dark night like a coiled dragon ascending to heaven, illuminating the eastern part of the city, a place where the imperial and powerful gathered.
Jiang Huaiyin got up suddenly, pressed his hands on the window lattice, and leaned out half of his body outside the window, "Yelan." β
"The subordinates are here."
Jiang Huaiyin narrowed his eyes slightly, "If this king is not mistaken, it should be the mansion of the eldest prince?" β
"My subordinates will go and investigate."
