Qian Tiancai raised the meat skewers in his hand! "We also have physical evidence: the meat was bought by your Xi family. We will also be able to find witnesses when the time comes. You, Mr. Xi, can't rely on it." Small dishes were already placed in front of him.

The pile of firewood was started early, and the meat skewers were placed on the shelf, and the grill was already "sizzling"

The sound and fragrance are overflowing.

"Speaking of which, eating fragrant kebabs while watching the blazing fire is really one of life's great pleasures." He stretched his waist and said, "Master Xi, would you like to have a kebab too? Let's take some of the good wine in your house."

Take some out, wouldn’t it be a great disgrace to the scenery if you add wine to the fun at this time?”

Xi Shunqing heard that it was a fuss, but what's the use of arguing with Qian Tiancai and others at this time? So he ignored Qian Tiancai's words, but looked at the bows and arrows of the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion, and said to Zixuan: "Your Majesty, you really deserve it.

I don’t know, please show mercy, Princess.”

He could see that Zhu Zixuan was not here to laugh, nor was she here to scare people. It was obvious that she was really angry, so when she said that she would burn down the Xi family, she would really burn down the Xi family.[

Regardless of whether the emperor will make the decision for him in the end, as long as the Xi Mansion is burned down, the emperor will not be able to make up for the losses, nor will he be compensated: and there are too many things that he cannot tell the emperor to know, let alone ask the emperor to give him.

What compensation?

Shui Muxia remained silent, probably because of the letter from the Xiao family: Looking up at Xi Shunqing at this time, he said softly: "We can't say for sure now whether the Xi family is the mastermind, but the Xiao family can know that there will be an ambush.

Kill, do your Xi family not know? If you just refuse to admit it, then it can only be said that your Xi family is the mastermind behind the murder of the prince and the princess."

"Other than that, what other explanation can there be? At least it would be conspiracy. Otherwise, why wouldn't we? Also, Mr. Xi, how can this matter be revealed by burning down your Xi family?" He faced Xi.

Shunqing smiled: "Don't think that we will leave you to continue to do evil and harm others."

"There is no need to find any evidence of guilt in your Xi family. As long as we are sure that your Xi family is the one who ambushed the prince and the princess, we will kill you first. Is there any evidence of guilt when we have to confess to the emperor after killing the people? Well, like this

I don’t need to say more about the matter, Mr. Xi also knows it very well, because you have done a lot over the years."

"Master Xi is a smart man. If it's really not your Xi family's fault, it's best not to suffer for others. Don't you think so?" Shui Muxia patted her robe gently: "Speaking of which, the current fire is really serious.

It's too late to save him, and it will be hard to tell after a while."

The fire in front of the hall has already started, but it has not yet burned into the hall: but the tongues of flames have grown long, the wood is being burned and crackling, and the flames are constantly rising. It has not burned into the hall now, but it will definitely be in the hall soon.

It will turn into a sea of ​​​​fire, and all those antiques and the like will be destroyed in the house.

Xi Shunqing wanted to be tough and have a bloody feud with Zixuan and didn't want him to take a step back, but under the raging fire, looking at Zixuan's calm face, he finally sat down on the ground: "I'm not a minister, I'm really not a minister: I'm not a minister either.

I just saw Old Fox Ding entering Sima's house. After that, some people from Sima's house came several times, but they didn't come out after entering the house..."

It’s not that he is unloyal, but at the moment he can only save his own family first. There is really nothing that Zhu Zixuan can’t do. Anyway, he won’t just let it go. He has to report it to the emperor and ask him for help.

He calls the shots.

Zixuan narrowed her eyes: "The Sima family?! They really think they have a long life. Didn't they learn enough lessons last time?"

Seeing that Zixuan didn't believe it, Xi Yun said: "The Sima family and the princess have a deep hatred, so of course they will plot revenge, there is nothing surprising about it.

Zixuan nodded: "That makes sense." After she finished speaking, she smiled at Xi Yun and asked someone to lift her up: "However, the Xi family also hates this princess to the core, right? This princess cannot listen to one side of the story.

of."

"It seems that the Xi family is not warm enough for baking. Let's go to Sima's house and have a look. His place is smaller and maybe it can be much warmer for me to bake. Sir, do you want to go with me, the princess? Or you have to think carefully before going.

?I am not in a hurry, you can take your time and think about how many skewers of meat I will eat."

Xi Shunqing looked at the study room that had been set on fire. The flames shone brightly and did not burn into the room, but he couldn't wait any longer and nodded immediately: "Okay, I will go with the princess." He will always explain clearly when facing the Sima family, and

The interests of the two families are now tied together, and it is common for aristocratic families to fall out in the future.

After saying that, he suddenly found the Prince Consort of Tai'an hiding behind Prince Jin and others. He was so excited in his heart: "You have seen it, Prince Consort." He really didn't expect that there was an outsider present, so he didn't have to be controlled by Zhu Zixuan.

.

Tai'an Prince Consort shook his head: "Master Xi, I'm here to see the Prince of Jin and the Princess." He went over to see the gift and presented the gift list: "1 It's a small thing, but I hope the Prince and Princess will accept it." He made it clear that he was from Jin.

If the people on the prince's side really need him to be a personal witness, he will only be Zixuan's witness.

Xi Shunqing lowered his head and sighed, completely giving up. After repeatedly apologizing, he obediently followed Zixuan and others and left Xi's house.

Xi Yun and Xi Zhuoming were finally able to put out the fire. The most important thing was of course certain things in the study: they couldn't be burned or wet or soaked by water: the person who broke into the study first was Xi Zhuoming, not the Xi family.

servant.

There was a secret in the study that only he and his father knew, and some important things were there. The secret was finally opened at this critical moment. Xi Zhuoming took out the important things and went to his room to put them away in person.

He breathed a sigh of relief: Then he ran out and watched the servants put out the fire.

Little did he know that someone sneaked into his room while he was busy and stole the things that Xi Shunqing regarded as his life.[

This fire was not lit just to burn down the Xi family.

After what happened to Sima Xia, the Sima family was no longer what it used to be. People in the family rarely went out, and it was rare to see anyone coming to their front door for ten and a half days.

The desolate scene in the courtyard directly deprived the porter of extra money, so when he saw a lot of carriages coming and a lot of people getting off, his eyes immediately lit up and he hurriedly came out to greet them.

It wasn't until Prince Jin and Zixuan separated from everyone and walked up to them that the concierge realized that they were not guests but evil spirits. When he knelt on the ground, he really wanted to slap himself twice.

Sima Ming was not in the house, and Sima Hui, the eldest son of the Sima family, came out quickly: "I don't know that the prince and princess are here." Halfway through his ceremony, before he finished speaking, Prince Jin, Zixuan, Shui Muxia and others came to greet him.

Went straight into the house.

Sima Hui saw Xi Shunqing wink and said, "Uncle, are you free to come over today?" He wanted to find out the purpose of Zixuan and others' visit first.

Xi Shunqing grimaced: "Let your father come back soon." Sima Hui would definitely not be able to handle it. Even if Sima Ming came back, things today would not be easy.

Shui Muxia turned around and said, "You guys reminisce about old times first, and we'll go make preparations."

Sima Hui was stunned when he heard this. When he saw the people from Madam Protector's Mansion scattering, he thought Zixuan came to Sima's Mansion to search the family: "Princess, do you have an agenda?"

"No." Zixuan answered simply, and then smiled at Sima Hui: "Sima's mansion is exquisite. Every plant, tree, brick and stone must have been carefully arranged and a lot of thought and money have been spent, right?"

Sima Hui didn't know why Zixuan suddenly praised Sima Mansion: "The princess is polite, it's just an ordinary scene. I don't know the princess?"...

Zixuan looked at him: "Don't worry, I just asked them to find some firewood and oil in your house." After a few chats, the people from the Protector's House brought all the firewood and oil, and Zixuan didn't waste any words.

He didn't even ask Sima Hui a word: "Light the fire, it's too cold."

"What?!" Sima Hui stomped his feet anxiously: "I don't know why I offended the princess, but the princess will punish me directly. This mansion is an old residence handed down from the ancestors of the Sima family. It really cannot be damaged."

Zixuan smiled at him: "The ancestral home? It's very good. Come and give me more firewood."

"What are you doing, Princess?!" Sima Hui glanced at the people in Sima Mansion, but did not let them stop Zixuan's people. He could still maintain a respectful look and reason with Zixuan.

Xi Shunqing sighed: "The princess is cold and needs to warm herself up by the fire."

"Of course not." Zixuan smiled at Xi Shunqing, revealing two rows of white and neat teeth: "This princess is here to take revenge. I heard from Mr. Xi that it was your Sima family who arranged for someone to assassinate the prince last night.

As long as you and I don’t want my princess to live, I want your Sima family’s chickens and dogs to be spared.”

Sima Hui changed his face when he heard this, and Xi Shunqing was also startled: "Princess Princess!"

Zixuan looked at Xi Shunqing: "How could this princess come to the Sima family without your guidance, Lord Xi? They dare to act boldly and recklessly to murder the royal family, burn down their house with a fire, and burn their Sima family members with a fire.

The Sima family deserves their punishment. When the time comes, Master Youxi will make it clear to the emperor that the Sima family will not escape the fate of being condemned and exiled."

Sima Hui's fair face was suddenly bloodshot, and his eyes were faintly red: "Uncle Xi, what is there in our Sima family that makes you feel sorry for you to make you spit so bloody?"

Zixuan raised her hands: "You two go to the side and speak clearly. I am too busy to give you advice: Well, over there, there is not enough firewood over there? Then cut down those trees.

hurry up."

But after a while, many trees fell down, and there was no scenery left in the yard. It was a mess: the newly cut trees were poured with some oil and ignited. The flames were not small, but there was more smoke.
