When the moon passed the zenith, a fire shot up into the sky, and the burning teahouse was mixed with the sound of swords piercing flesh.

About a quarter of an hour later, the owner of the cloth shop got up and went to the hut in the middle of the night. He saw a large fire in a daze and thought someone was setting off a firecracker in the middle of the night.

It wasn't until a spark from next door jumped onto his hand that he realized: it was on fire!

The neighborhood was surrounded by shops, and the tea house caught fire for no apparent reason. Everyone who had been sleeping woke up one after another. Some even rushed out to put out the fire with no shoes on.

Fu Mingjue stood in the corner and glanced coldly at Xuan Yuwei who had just escaped from the fire: "Who asked you to set the fire?"

"Master, it was not the subordinates who started the fire," said a man with burnt hair.

Another man whose clothes were burned answered: "The people guarding the warehouse wanted to destroy this batch of ordnance, so they set the fire."

The other Xuanyu guards nodded accordingly.

Fu Mingjue glanced at the people rushing to put out the fire one after another, and asked: "Have you notified the Five Cities Military and Horse Command?"

"We have been notified and should arrive soon." One of them replied.

At this time, Jiang Liu came over with the shopkeeper who was tied up: "Your Majesty, this man is very stubborn. He even wanted to commit suicide by taking poison, so my subordinates removed his jaw."

The shopkeeper never expected that Fu Mingjue would come to kill him in the middle of the night. It seemed that the reason why he came to the teahouse during the day was because he had already sensed something was wrong.

Fu Mingjue raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Are you surprised to see me?"

The other party's jaw was removed, so of course it was impossible to speak.

Fu Mingjue smiled: "You will be even more surprised when you meet that person."

Then he ordered: "Send the person to Dali Temple and let Gu Boyan examine him carefully."

Jiang Liu was stunned: "My lord, don't you try it yourself?"

After working hard for so long, you have to give up the credit to others?

Jiang Liu didn't understand.

Secretly exchanging ordnance is a serious crime. If the prince hadn't been astute and discovered something fishy, ​​the shipment of ordnance to Liangzhou would probably have caused chaos.

Fu Mingjue said seriously: "I am tired and don't want to interrogate."

Jiang Liu: "."

In fact, he can do it for you.

Fu Mingjue seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said, "How about you help me write the memorial together?"

"My subordinates dare not."

Jiang Liu secretly sweated. How many people can imitate the prince's handwriting?

A fire burned down the teahouse to nothing but an empty frame. No one knew exactly how the fire started. All they saw was that the government officials surrounded the teahouse and carried out several corpses covered with white cloths.

The cloth store owner who was the first to discover the fire last night thought about it all night, and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a group of black shadows walking through the chaos last night.

He slapped his thigh and told his wife about it. Then when his wife went out to buy groceries, she told the aunt next door about it.

One spreads to ten, and ten spreads to a hundred.

Finally, the rumors became more and more mysterious. It was said that the teahouse owner had an enemy. The enemy came to the door and set fire to the teahouse in the middle of the night.

When I happened to pass by Lubao and heard this, I was shocked: Didn't the princess come to this teahouse just yesterday?

Lu Bao hurried back to the palace. As soon as he entered Lanhui Courtyard, he started shouting: "Princess, something is wrong!"

Yin Zhu was so startled by her voice that she almost pricked her finger with an embroidery needle, "What's going on? What's going on?"

Ling Youyao raised her head from the desk: "Fu Mingjue is here?"

"Your Majesty. Your Majesty..." Lu Bao ran out of breath, "He didn't come."

Ling Youyao breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you anxious if you don't come?"

"No, Princess!" Lu Bao said calmly, "Do you still remember the teahouse you and Miss Shen went to yesterday?"

Ling Youyao thought for a while and replied: "Well, what's wrong?"

Lu Bao lowered his voice and said nervously: "That teahouse was burned down!"

"What?" Ling Youyao made a movement with her hand, and the brush spread an ink stain on the rice paper.

Yin Zhu put down the embroidery bandage and asked, "How did it get burned?"

Lu Bao told Ling Youyao the rumors he heard outside word for word.

After listening, Ling Youyao's frown deepened. She had only been to the teahouse in the afternoon and was burned in the evening?

And there are people who deliberately set fires

This had to make her wonder whether the accident was related to herself.

After pondering for a moment, Ling Youyao hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that you were not angry yesterday, right?"

Lu Bao said seriously: "It seems not."

Yin Zhu also replied: "Probably not."

Ling Youyao: "."

Saying this is the same as not saying it!

After Fu Mingjue sent her back yesterday, he didn't show any special behavior, except for the words "grudge couple".

Ling Youyao was a little bored, holding the pen and writing randomly on the paper, and the things she had written before were also covered randomly.

The two maids looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After a moment of silence, Ling Youyao suddenly put down her pen and said, "I'll go to the main courtyard to have a look."

Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative.

Lu Bao accompanied Ling Youyao to the main courtyard.

Yin Zhu sighed and put away the things on the desk. When she saw the crooked pages of "The Enmity Couple", she was shocked.

How resentful is the princess?

When Ling Youyao arrived at the main courtyard, Xia Cheng saw her from a distance.

"The princess is here to see the prince?"

Ling Youyao said "hmm" and asked, "He's not here?"

A flash of embarrassment flashed across Xia Cheng's face, and he hesitated: "Princess, you came at an unlucky time, the prince has just left."

He then added: "Your Majesty summoned the prince to the palace, and he should be back before sunset."

"Oh" Ling Youyao prolonged her voice, obviously she still had something to say.

Xia Cheng immediately straightened his back, held his head high and said, "What other instructions does the princess have?"

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to ask." Ling Youyao cleared her throat, "Was the prince in the room last night?"

As soon as she asked, she felt a little regretful. If Fu Mingjue really wanted to burn down the teahouse, why would he go there himself? He could have sent someone to do it.

But what Xia Cheng understood was: The princess was trying to find out if the prince was looking for another woman?

"Don't worry, Princess. Your Majesty has always kept himself clean, and you are the only mistress in the house." Xia Cheng said seriously.

Ling Youyao was dumbfounded. When did she ask this?

The other party did not realize anything was wrong and continued: "Before you entered the house, there were not even any maids in the house, only a few old ladies doing menial work."

"Okay," Ling Youyao interrupted him, "I know that your prince is very clean and he doesn't even have a maid in the same room."

Xia Cheng was shocked: "Princess, how did you know?" Even he didn't know about this.

Ling Youyao: "."

Of course she knows.

Although Fu Mingjue was cold-blooded, he was dedicated and never liked those vulgar fans. There were also people who gave Fu Mingjue a beautiful concubine regardless of life and death, but the beauty turned into bones.

After this incident, those courtiers who had vainly planned to marry their daughters to Fu Mingjue gave up their thoughts.

How could such a vicious person be a good son-in-law?
