At night, the sky and the earth are covered with a unique layer of black coldness, the insects chirp for a while, the moon is gone, and the huge imperial city is like a sleeping giant beast, becoming quiet and well-behaved.

Lin Shuran sat alone in the room, she was waiting for Xu Junze to return, but just now Xu Junze asked someone to send the news back, he had important things to deal with in the military camp tonight, and he was afraid that he would not be able to return to the house, so he asked Lin Shuran to go to bed early to rest.

I thought it was just an ordinary night, but I didn't know that when the time passed, the shadows floated, and the sleeping people didn't know that the killing was smelling of blood under the black shroud, Everything seemed to be going on quietly, until the Huaxianglou lit up with a sky-high fire, and countless panicked pleasure seekers and red dust girls rushed out of the firelight, which woke up the people who were still asleep.

Lin Shuran has been sleeping better since she was pregnant, she slept all night and didn't know what was going on outside, until she woke up the next day, and from the mouth of the maid Chunxi, she knew that there was a fire in Huaxianglou last night, not only dead, but even Huaxianglou became a ruin.

"There's a fire in the green building? Can you say what caused it? After Lin Shuran got up and washed, he asked Chunxi curiously.

Chunxi shook her head and replied: "The slave doesn't know, but I heard from the mother-in-law who went out to buy that it should be caused by which guest or prostitute accidentally knocked over the candle flame, but the fire was too big, if it weren't for the night watch, the houses on that street would have been set on fire, Fortunately, only Huaxianglou burned." ”

"Really?" Lin Shuran groaned, the power of the small candle flame was so great, but she didn't think much about it, and after breakfast, she moved properly in the courtyard.

At about the end of the hour, Chen Jiayu, the princess of Prince Alcohol, suddenly visited, and when she arrived, Lin Shuran felt strange and asked her to sit down in the hospitality hall.

"Sister Chen, you are also pregnant, if there is anything you can't let your subordinates come to talk about, why do you have to run in person?" When the two of them sat down in the hall, Lin Shuran saw a rare flash of anxiety on Chen Jiayu's face, thinking that she must have something to do before she came to the door.

Sure enough, Chen Jiayu stroked his still flat belly, and said helplessly: "Sister Shuran, I didn't plan to run this trip, but my princess and mother-in-law are really difficult, and the world didn't return last night, if it was normal for the palace to find out where he went, but there was a fire in Huaxianglou at night, and I asked Shizi's personal attendant, only to know that he secretly ran to Huaxianglou last night, and has not returned home yet." ”

Lin Shuran could see that Chen Jiayu still cared a little about Prince Alcohol's son, but she was hurt by his affection, and Chen Jiayu is now pregnant, no matter how bad her husband is, he is also the father of the unborn child in her womb, and she doesn't want her child to be loved by her father.

Lin Shuran knew that the fire in Huaxianglou killed several people last night, Chen Jiayu was worried that there was a prince among the dead, so he comforted her and said: "Sister Chen, don't worry, Huaxianglou, Jingcheng Mansion or somewhere else can people go to investigate?" Maybe the prince just went somewhere else and hasn't returned home yet. ”

Chen Jiayu's eyes showed indifference, and said: "My princess's mother-in-law has already found out, he did go to Huaxianglou last night, but Bai Shuangshuang was invited by General Lu Da, who had just returned to the capital in southern Xinjiang, and he stayed in Huaxianglou and did not come out. ”

"Sister Chen, don't worry, I'll find a way to help you find out!" Knowing Chen Jiayu's intention, Lin Shuran did not refuse, after all, Xu Junze is the supreme commander of the Dragon Guard, and he just inquired about the situation of saving people last night, this matter should not be very difficult to do.

She asked Chen Jiayu to sit for a while, and then got up and asked people to find Uncle Chu, although Xu Junze did not come back last night, but Uncle Chu was in the mansion, and Uncle Chu left the mansion after receiving Lin Shuran's instructions, and he came back in less than half an hour.

Lin Shuran invited Chen Jiayu to the garden to chat and sit, and as soon as Uncle Chu came back, he personally came to tell the two that Long Jiawei did rescue Prince Alcohol from Huaxianglou last night, but he did not let Long Jiawei send him back to the palace, but sent him to the door of General Lu's temporary residence, and then Long Jiawei left.

Hearing what Uncle Chu said, Chen Jiayu didn't even have the last trace of worry on her face, her eyes were completely dead and indifferent, she slowly lowered her head and stroked her stomach again, Lin Shuran motioned to Uncle Chu to go down first, and looked at Chen Jiayu very distressedly, after all, she and the prince once fell in love, and now for a woman in a green house, the prince of alcohol has done this step, how can it not be chilling and disappointing.

"Sister Chen-" Lin Shuran wanted to speak and stopped, for a while she didn't know how to comfort Chen Jiayu, but her husband who escaped death was bent on thinking about other women, which was embarrassing and unbearable for any wife.

Chen Jiayu raised her head and turned to Lin Shuran, she said with a faint smile: "I'm fine, it seems that he is either in General Lu's mansion, or he has gone elsewhere, thank you sister, for your trouble, I will go back and tell the princess the news!" ”

Looking at Chen Jiayu, who pretended to be strong and indifferent, Lin Shuran also smiled back, whose pot has no ashes at the bottom, cold and warm, others may not be able to understand it at all, but as a friend, she still hopes to give her strength when she is sad and sad.

"Sister Chen, there is nothing more important than you and the child in your belly now, if you need any help, you can come to me, after a while, the fruits and vegetables grown in my grange can be eaten, and I will send you some when the time comes." Lin Shuran stepped forward and held Chen Jiayu's hand, when there is no man to rely on, women must be strong on their own.

Chen Jiayu also held Lin Shuran's hand back, only women know women best in this world, she nodded, and then left the General's Mansion with the help of her personal maid and grandmother.

I heard that Prince Alcohol was really in General Lu's mansion, and that night he was sent to the gate of General Lu's mansion by Long Jiawei, and was invited by General Lu to drink in the mansion, until the people from Prince Alcohol's Mansion came to the door, and he was still asleep in the general's mansion without waking up.

Next, Xu Junze seemed very busy for a few days, but he would still take an hour out of his house every day to go back to his house to meet Lin Shuran, and then left in a hurry, although Xu Junze didn't tell her what happened, but she still knew from Mei, I didn't expect that on the night of the fire in Huaxianglou, Wei Xiong, the prince of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and Duan Yunhao, the son of Xia Guo, disappeared at the same time.
