"It's not a big deal, I just want to look something up."

Murong Xi's voice lowered, "Dongfang Gongzi also knows my identity, so I won't hide it." The fire in General Murong's Mansion back then, I want to find out the truth-"

She spread her hands, "However, there are no trustworthy people around me, let alone people as capable as Dongfang Gongzi and Chu Gongzi." That's why I cheekily came to seek the two sons, can you help me find out about the fire eleven years ago? ”

"That's what happened."

Dongfang Li suddenly realized, put away his shallow smile, and rubbed his chin with his fingers as if he was thinking carefully.

Eleven years ago, he was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.

Among the young men of that era, nine out of ten people had deep respect for Murong Hao, the god of war of the Qianguo.

They all look forward to the day when they can become a legendary figure like General Murong.

Dongfang Li is not surprised.

If it weren't for being the heir of a medical family, he would have gone to the army.

The sudden fire not only burned down General Murong's Mansion, but also burned the hopes of all the young men.

Dongfang Li still remembers that he had quietly gone to see the ruins of the General's Mansion.

The bleak and tragic scene is vivid.

Now that I think about it, I find that the imperial court has not given a perfect answer to the destruction of Murong Mansion so far!

Dongfang Li said: "The girl suspects someone of arson?" ”

"Not sure yet." Murong Xi shook her head, "I heard that the Prince's Mansion also went out of the water last night, but the news I inquired about was that there were no casualties. ”

"It's also a fire, why can the door be burned so thoroughly, and the prince's mansion can retreat?"

Dongfang Li sneered, "The fire in the Prince's Mansion is really a pity. ”

"What a pity?" Murong Xi looked at Dongfang Li suspiciously.

Dongfang Li smiled, "It's nothing, Miss Murong has been investigating for too long, I don't know if I can find an answer." However, since Miss Murong regards Zai Xia as a 'trustworthy person', then Zai Xia must definitely help with this favor. As for Brother Chu, after he returns to Beijing, he will tell him in the future. ”

Murong Xi smiled gratefully, "It's not a white gang, if there is anything that can help Dongfang Gongzi, please don't be stingy." ”

"The girl is serious." Dongfang Li blinked, changed her words, and said with a smile: "If you say that you have something to ask for, there is really something that needs the girl to come forward." ”

"What?"

Dongfang Li's smile is getting deeper and deeper-

-

In addition to Concubine Li's medicine for head disease, Murong Xi also got some poison powder for self-defense in Dongfang Li's hands.

Just in case.

Thinking of the assassin she met when she was in Lishan Hot Springs, if it wasn't for Chu Cheng's killing, she might have been in danger a long time ago.

Walking out of Jishitang, the market was full of people.

Murong Xi twisted her eyebrows and asked Xiang Bailu, "What's wrong ahead?" ”

Egret explained: "Princess, there was a fire in the prince's mansion last night, and His Royal Highness had nowhere to go, so he settled in the inn. Right now, there are many officials who come to offer condolences. ”

Murong Xi held back a smile, "Why didn't he enter the palace?" ”

"This—the slave doesn't know." The egret looked at the crowd in front of him in embarrassment, as if he had faintly looked at the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion.

Last night's fire must have alarmed the people in the palace.

And the person who set the fire was his own princess.

She said worriedly: "Princess, is the matter a little too big?" ”

Murong Ji craned her neck to look at the crowd, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

The master and servant were carrying medicine bags, and there was almost a bustling crowd, and the egret was close to Murong Xi, carefully guarding Murong Xi's safety.

After a while, they crowded to the door of the inn.

At the entrance, seven or eight luxurious carriages of all sizes were parked.

Murong Xi curled the corners of her lips sarcastically, but she didn't expect the eldest prince's popularity in the court to be quite good.

After waiting for another stick of incense, there was movement in the inn, and Murong Xi and Bai Lu retreated, staring at the people who walked out of the inn.

The official at the head of the group, Murong Xi, didn't know him, but he was dressed in a four-grade court uniform, and he was a little old man with a single face.

Behind him, there were still several elderly officials, walking towards the inn with serious expressions.

Murong Xi didn't have much impression of a few people.

Seeing the back of a group of people, Murong Xi finally saw a familiar face.

Shen Guogong and Li Xiang walked side by side, both with sad eyes and did not squint.

Murong Xi said in his heart, Shen Guogong and the eldest prince have a blood bond, and it is understandable to come to visit the eldest prince.

But it is a bit unbelievable that Li Xiang dared to visit the eldest prince in public.

Although the emperor has no intention of establishing a prince, the emperor has been suspicious since ancient times, and what he is afraid of is that officials form parties for personal gain-

However, Murong Xi thought about the current emperor's personality, an emperor who was like a puppet, controlled by the regent, and his power was greatly limited.

I also understood Li Xiang's behavior.

Perhaps, he was not afraid of the emperor's suspicion at all.

Even, he felt that if he dared to openly move closer to the eldest prince, in the emperor's heart, he would be considered to be declaring war on Jiang Huaiyin in disguise.

Murong Xi tugged at the corners of her lips, and wanted to leave before Shen Guogong stepped out of the threshold of the inn.

The moment he turned around, he saw a moon-white figure out of the corner of his eye.

Murong Ji suddenly turned her head and squinted her eyes to look at the inn again.

Only then did I see that Li Xiang was still followed by a moon-white figure.

It's Li Muyao!

Murong Xi was in the crowd, carefully looking at Li Muyao's face, her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had cried.

My expression was gloomy, and I felt pity, as if I had been stimulated by something.

Murong Xi was speechless, didn't he say that the eldest prince was not injured? Why did Li Muyao cry like this?

In a daze, the little old man who walked in front had already found his carriage, stood in front of the carriage, and turned around and bowed to several adults.

"The lower official will retire first."

Shen Guogong and the others nodded, and after sending the official away, Shen Guogong's face turned cold, and he looked around, "What about the people patrolling the battalion?" Can the cause of the fire be identified? ”

The people of Li who watched the excitement were frightened by Shen Guogong's unangry and self-righteous momentum, and retreated one after another.

The surroundings suddenly became crowded, and the egret flashed in front of Murong Xi, using it as a shield to prevent Murong Xi from being squeezed by others.

At the same time, a male voice was heard in the inn.

"Uncle, slow down."

The eldest prince's face was pale, his steps were vain, and he looked as if he had suffered a lot of internal injuries.

He shouted to Shen Guogong in the weakest tone, and when he came in front of Shen Guogong, his weak body seemed to be blown down by the wind at any time.

Li Muyao looked back and subconsciously stepped forward to support the eldest prince.

The eldest prince sped up his pace and passed her, making Li Muyao's hand empty.

Li Muyao lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and withdrew her hand unwillingly.

This scene was thoroughly watched by Li Xiang, who was close by, and Murong Xi, who was far away from the door.

Murong Xi was embarrassed for Li Muyao, she couldn't help it, and chuckled.

Although the voice is small, it is particularly prominent in the silent atmosphere.

Not surprisingly, both the few people in front of the inn and the people watching the excitement all looked in the direction of Murong Xi.

Murong Xi: "......"
