Chapter 442 Dali Temple is on Fire

"Big sister!" Shangguan Ruoxian called to Shangguan Ruoli.

Shangguan Ruoli was extremely disgusted with her. He turned around slowly with cold eyes and said calmly: "Is something wrong?"

Shangguan Ruoxian smiled and said, "Sister, are you still blaming your sister for stealing your position as the crown princess?"

"You really have a deep love for each other. You are worthy of being sisters!" Xu Jingxuan looked at Shangguan Ruoli and Shangguan Ruoxian like they were the filthiest garbage in the world with a strange look on her face.

Shangguan Ruoli knew that she was referring to the fact that both of them had bad reputations and their innocence was questionable.

A hint of sarcasm curled up at the corner of her lips, and she said to Xu Jingxuan: "The water thrown out by your married daughter, now you are sisters."

Xu Jingxuan was extremely disgusted and said coldly: "Who is a sister to this dirty guy!"

Shangguan Ruoli glanced at Shangguan Ruoxian and said calmly: "How did you become a princess? Let a concubine climb on your head? My father is fighting at the border to expand the territory of Dongming. A concubine dares to be disrespectful to you.

, is this looking down upon the Shangguan family?"

No matter what the relationship between the two is as sisters, both of them have the surname Shangguan. When necessary, they must be consistent in speaking out.

Shangguan Ruoxian's innocence was questionable, and the child was not the prince's, so he felt a little unreasonable in front of Xu Jingxuan.

Xu Jingwen's eyes widened in anger: "You..."

"What's wrong with me?" Shangguan Ruoli looked at her coldly, "Is this how Prime Minister Xu taught you? Are you still the crown prince's concubine? In full view of the public, you actually spoke rudely to the crown prince and me! Shallow and vulgar!

"

After saying that, Shangguan Ruoli waved his sleeves and walked away.

Xu Jingxuan wanted to yell, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Shangguan Ruoxian was very relieved, laughed twice, and walked away in high spirits.

As soon as Shangguan Ruoli left Concubine Yun's courtyard, a little palace maid came over, holding a palace ribbon in her hand, with a jade pendant hanging on it.

"Princess Xuan, can you please take a step to speak!" The little palace maid lifted up the jade pendant and dangled it in front of her eyes.

She looked very innocent and innocent, with her big clear eyes blinking and blinking, as if she was showing off her good stuff.

Shangguan Ruoli narrowed his eyes when he saw the jade pendant. This was the jade pendant Su Yaner showed when she was hypnotized.

At that time, she said that when she saw this jade pendant, she would obey the instructions of the person holding the jade pendant.

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and followed the little palace maid to the back of a rockery.

The little palace maid looked at Rejoice and Sassoon, thought for a while, and then said: "I want to talk to you alone."

Shangguan Ruoli saw that the little palace maid must be under hypnosis and raised her hand slightly.

Rejoice and Sassoon retreated, but did not leave, hiding on the other side of the rockery.

Sure enough, the little palace maid could not see anyone and thought she was meeting alone. She handed the jade pendant to Shangguan Ruoli and said, "Take this jade pendant..."

She seemed to have forgotten Su Yan'er's words. She scratched her hair and thought about it again before continuing: "Take the jade pendant and go to Ranxiang Tower to find someone named..."

This little palace maid must be a silly girl with a very poor memory, or Su Yaner hypnotized her when her energy was very low, so that it was difficult for her to even retell the story.

Shangguan Ruoli said nothing and waited patiently.

The little palace maid thought about it and said, "My name is Yanzhi, let her find a way to rescue Concubine Su."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, turned around and walked out of the rockery, followed by Rejoice and Sassoon.

Rejoice said: "When you go out, let someone check Rouge immediately."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, gritting his teeth, "Keep an eye on Yanzhi, she is probably just a minion."

Since Ranxiang was solved by Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingyan also arranged for people from Meihua Pavilion to enter.

The Ranxiang Building is the property of Prime Minister Xu and is specially used to collect intelligence. It is not known whether Yanzhi is from other forces lurking in the Ranxiang Building or is one of Prime Minister Xu's people.

Of course, Shangguan Ruoli had to go to Yanzhi personally with the jade pendant.

Several people left the palace, and the carriage was already waiting there.

Shangguan Ruoli was about to get into the carriage when he smelled the smell of burning wood. He looked up and saw thick smoke billowing from the southeast.

"There's a fire somewhere!" Sassoon made a conclusion that everyone knew well.

Zhui Feng appeared out of nowhere and said, "Princess Qi, there is a fire in Dali Temple!"

Shangguan Ruoli frowned, "How could there be such a big fire in such an important place in broad daylight?"

Zhui Feng said: "Wang Feng has arrived in Beijing this morning. The witnesses and physical evidence of the Qin Wang case and the Wei Zhongliang money-grabbing case have been handed over to Dali Temple..."

Shangguan Ruoli understood and asked: "Can the personal and physical evidence be preserved?"

Zhui Feng whispered: "No."

"No?" Shangguan Ruoli frowned, "Didn't your prince have someone to protect him?"

Dongming Ziyu spent so much effort to find out the matter, and traveled thousands of miles to bring witnesses and physical evidence back to the capital. He was even intercepted and killed on the way, losing many people.

Why don’t you know how to protect the fruits of your labor?

Zhui Feng said: "The prince said to let nature take its course and not to interfere in Fasansi's affairs."

Shangguan Ruoli understood that even if there were complete witnesses and physical evidence, the prince would be under house arrest at best.

Looking at Concubine Rou's virtue today, she should be confident that the emperor will not do anything to the King of Qin.

If it was a human witness or physical evidence that was destroyed at this time, it would be different.

The first thing the emperor thought of was that King Qin had great power in the capital, and he could actually set fire to the Dali Temple to destroy evidence.

There are private soldiers in the border fiefdoms, and there are powerful people in the court in the capital. This is much more terrifying than King Xuan and the prince.

The prince is now almost sidelined, his maternal family is in decline, and he is busy cultivating his own power.

The soldiers in King Xuan's hands and the rights in the court were given by the emperor. If he could take them back, it would be a matter of just one sentence.

Dongming Ziyu did a great job of retreating in order to advance!

Maybe King Qin didn't set the fire at all, or he didn't set such a big fire, but Dongming Ziyu fanned the fire in secret, which made the matter such a big deal.

Shangguan Ruoli thinks people who play politics are too scary, and the twists and turns in his mind are really scary.

In the evening, as soon as Dongming Ziyu came back, Shangguan Ruoli verified his guess.

"Well, let's start using our brains." Dongming Ziyu had just finished taking a bath and was covered in water vapor.

Shangguan Ruoli leaned on the bedside, his eyes wide open, still full of doubts, "Do you think it's worth it to waste so much effort and have those evidence and witnesses destroyed like this?"

Dongming Ziyu kept it secret, "Of course I will keep my backup plan, but I will discuss the deal with my good brother in private."

"Treacherous!" Shangguan Ruoli said with admiring eyes and tone.

Dongming Ziyu looked at Shangguan Ruoli with burning eyes, "Are you complimenting me as a teacher? Are you feeling well? Why don't we continue the game last night..."

Shangguan Ruoli's face suddenly turned red and he hid in a hurry, "Let's talk about business, what are you talking about?"

Dongming Ziyu stretched out his hand to caress Shangguan Ruoli's belly, "Tell me, master, how can I help you, my disciple, to have another little person here?"
