No one knew what happened, but the violent flames burned half the sky red.
The huge Prince's Courtyard was burned to the ground.
The prince was shrinking on the bed and shaking in pain. After hearing the news, he suddenly felt dizzy and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
He grabbed the subordinate who came to report: "Where are the people... Where are our people?"
Many of his powerful guests are being kept in other courtyards!
The subordinate stammered: "Except... except for the trivial servants, including Mr. Xu... they were all burned to death or seriously injured."
To put it bluntly, even if the capable people under their command are not dead now, they will be dead in the future.
Burns are the most difficult injuries to treat nowadays!
The old blood that the prince had been holding back finally spurted out with a "Plop!" and he fell down on the bed.
Those are all talented people under his sect, guests of the crown prince who will need to be reused after he ascends the throne in the future!
A fire almost destroyed half of it!
"Your Highness! Give your Highness the acupuncture immediately!" At this time, a middle-aged man hurried in and immediately held the prince's shoulders.
The doctor was already nearby. Upon seeing this, he immediately rushed over to give the prince acupuncture and medicine.
The middle-aged man looked at the kneeling subordinates angrily: "You know clearly that His Highness is suffering from internal injuries, how dare you bother him with these things!"
"Uncle Guo... I will wait until you are convicted." Several subordinates said tremblingly.
The prince said weakly: "Uncle, you are finally back. You don't have to blame...blame them. It was Gu who told them to tell Gu if anything happened."
Looking at the prince's appearance, Uncle Li Guo couldn't help but feel sorry for his only nephew: "Your Highness... our Li family is not as powerful as the Zhou family behind King Qin, so you have been wronged."
In recent years, he has been abroad in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and finally got into the position of second-rank chief envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He cannot go to Beijing casually on weekdays.
Now that he has returned to Beijing to serve as an official and rejoined the civil service, he can finally support his nephew.
"Thank you uncle...how is King Xiao Jingnan..." the prince asked weakly in a low voice.
Uncle Li Guo said: "I heard that he was seriously injured and fell into a coma, but his sister is a good Miao doctor. After two days and nights of non-stop treatment, and with the good medicine flowing from the Imperial Hospital, she has been rescued. Her life is not in danger for the time being.
"
The prince's eyes lit up and he murmured in a low voice: "That's good...that's good, as long as he is alive."
King Xiao Jingnan knows the unpredictable Gu skills, and they are of great use!
Li Guojiu frowned: "Your Highness, you should rest first. The ministers from King Xiaojingnan will be watching."
The prince closed his eyes: "I originally wanted to capture Xu Xiuyi, but I was afraid that something might change along the way. I kept staring at the Xu family and never paid attention to a mere merchant like Yinhu."
Unexpectedly, the variable was on Silver Fox. That person turned out to be some kind of foreign prince, which put him in a dilemma, and he was bitten by a poisonous insect.
The Prince's Courtyard was burned down...that was a warning!
Except for Nine Thousand Years Old, who has the ability to burn down his other courtyard and accurately 'burn to death' so many of his disciples without hurting the innocent servants.
His heart ached, and another mouthful of blood came out: "Chi!"
"Your Highness!" Li Guojiu panicked. The prince rarely practiced martial arts, his body was not strong, and he suffered heavy injuries.
I'm afraid it's...a sign of a short life, but he doesn't dare to say it, and he won't say it either.
Shangguan Zhou leaned against the window in embarrassment, his handsome face pale: "Sometimes, Gu Zhen feels that the sky is unfair..."
Obviously... he is the prince, the household department is in his own hands, and the treasury has been in surplus year after year... only then can the world be peaceful!
Only my father can suppress the rebels and cultivate immortality as he pleases!
"But everyone is working against Gu, trying to take away Gu's position. Even a female prostitute dares to look down on Gu!"
What's wrong with him? Is he not worthy of this prince? He is obviously the eldest son! The country's treasury depends on him!
Li Guojiu's eyes were determined: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the Empress is leaving an orphan on her deathbed. My uncle will definitely help you ascend to the throne and will never let that bitch son of the Zhou family ascend to the throne!"
"To deal with King Qin, who still has nine thousand years left, the best thing to do is to start with Ming Lanruo... Gu Ye also raises Yun Ni, a 'gu insect'. Let's wait a little longer and not be in a hurry."
The prince covered his chest, his eyes cold and filled with hatred.
If you are too anxious to eat hot tofu, use Chu Yuanbai to deal with them first, and Yun Ni's "gu" will come in handy later!
Fortunately, he was alert. As soon as Cang Qiao returned to Beijing, he took the time to arrange for Yun Ni to leave.
The humiliation he suffered from Cang Qiao and Shangguan Hongye will be recovered from Ming Lanruo.
Don't they all like her?

Mingfei Mansion West Cross Courtyard
"Master, our people are back and there is no trace of Yun Ni. She was probably sent out early."
He said softly to his father-in-law.
Scholar Yin was sitting in front of the mirror, taking an eyebrow pencil to trace his eyebrows. His hand paused and said, "I know, don't worry about the prince's side for the time being. Send someone to keep an eye on Chu Yuanbai."
He and his father-in-law stretched out their hands on their necks and made a gesture of wiping their necks: "Do you want to kill King Xiao Jingnan..."
"The only way to find out the whereabouts of Agu is that he lives. Otherwise, do you think I would let him live?" The hidden scholar smiled coldly.
He and his father-in-law nodded: "Yes."
The master's skill means that if he wants to kill him, it is impossible for him to escape.
"But King Xiao Jingnan has seen your 'face' now. What if he wakes up and reveals that the hidden scholar is the 'assassin'?" He and the father-in-law are still a little worried.
Scholar Yin raised his eyebrows scornfully: "So what? Who would believe his words that a little teacher in Concubine Ming's mansion could sneak into the palace and assassinate King Xiao Jingnan?"
He smiled coldly: "Besides, yesterday, 'I' did not enter the palace, but went to the study to buy books. People in the whole street saw it."
Not to mention that yesterday he entered the palace as a eunuch in the face of a hidden scholar. No one can prove that he is the empress's son.
What's more, for the sake of caution, he arranged for a substitute to go out on the street yesterday as the "hidden scholar". The streets were filled with witnesses of the "hidden scholar"'s absence.
"If Prince Xiao Jingnan dares to bite me, a little teacher in Concubine Ming's Mansion, and I am his assassin, but there is no evidence, our suspicious Emperor will suspect that he has ulterior motives, such as..."
Lao He understood and nodded immediately: "Your Majesty will suspect that he has colluded with the prince and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with King Qin. After all, the young empress is the princess of Qin in name, and King Xiao Jingnan has been in and out of the prince's courtyard recently!"
Scholar Yin nodded lightly: "Yes, Chu Yuanbai and the Crown Prince are close, and our Emperor knows it."
If Chu Yuanbai is a brainless fool, his testimony will only put himself and the Jingnan Palace into real trouble.
Chu Yuanbai would see Emperor Ming's ruthlessness and ruthlessness.
Scholar Yin motioned to Xiao Qizi to straighten the wrinkles of his clothes, and then gave a faint order——
"Keep an eye on Chu Yuanbai and his sister. Chu Yuanbai is seriously injured and unconscious. His sister will definitely have to take over the affairs in his hands."
"His sister is not as sophisticated as Chu Yuanbai. Our people can follow her to find the whereabouts of Agu."
Only then did my father-in-law understand why Scholar Yin wanted to seriously injure Chu Yuanbai. This man always takes ten steps to do something.
I never ignore it just to vent my personal anger.
"Yes!" He nodded with his father-in-law.
"It's just Yun Ni..." He was very worried that Yun Ni would expose his master's secret, and he was so worried that he was bald!
The hidden scholar faced the window and stood with his hands behind his back, with an indifferent expression: "Yun Ni probably didn't say much. At most, he said that I have other plans for the little empress, and maybe even Xiaoxi is my child.
