It was already the curfew when he returned to the house. Ye Tinglan had returned to the palace after giving instructions this morning. Qi Xuan now went to Zhuangzi. Qin Rulian had the final say on all the trivial matters in the house.
The carriage stopped in the backyard. Shuangxi helped Qin Rulian out of the carriage and hurriedly went to pick up the lantern.
"Girl, let's go."
After saying that, she was about to go forward, but Qin Rulian pursed her lips and remained silent, then raised her feet and headed towards Lanqing Courtyard.
Shuangxi was immediately confused when he saw this.
"Girl, where are you going? Why don't we go back to Xiuchunyuan?"
Qin Rulian ignored her at all and walked forward with a sullen face.
Seeing this, Shuangxi had no choice but to follow quickly.
There were still guards strictly guarding the outside of Lanqing Courtyard, and Qin Rulian was stopped just half a step closer.
"Miss Qin, the prince has ordered that no one is allowed to approach, so you should please come back."
Qin Rulian seemed to be expecting to be stopped. He curled his lips with a faint smile and then backed away obediently.
After a while, he stopped at a rockery not far from Lanqing Courtyard. He stared closely in the direction of Lanqing Courtyard. Under the light of the lights, the expression on his face was particularly gloomy.
Shuangxi didn't know why, but he didn't dare to ask more questions when he saw this. Just as he was about to lower his head, Qin Rulian suddenly spoke.
"Shuangxi, do you think the prince likes her?"
Her voice was so light that it was a bit ethereal, and coupled with such a sinister expression, it seemed particularly permeable in the darkness.
Shuangxi shuddered when he heard the words, and his body trembled uncontrollably. With this tremor, the fire shivered, and it suddenly became more terrifying.
"Girl... girl, the princess is vulgar and arrogant, not gentle and considerate at all. How can the prince... the prince like her! What the prince likes is... you!"
"You lied!"
A sudden sharp voice made Shuangxi tremble in fright, and he almost fell to his knees.
Qin Rulian stared at her with resentful eyes, pinched her arm heavily with his sharp fingertips, and looked obviously crazy.
"Tell the truth, or I will strangle you to death!"
The moment she finished speaking, the strength in her hand suddenly increased. Shuangxi was so pinched that she gasped, but she pursed her lips and did not dare to say a word.
Qin Rulian seemed to be going crazy, and when he saw this, he pinched harder.
"Speak quickly! Do you want to tell me? If you don't tell me, I will strangle you to death!"
The summer shirt was already thin, and in an instant, there was no good space on Shuangxi's arms.
Seeing that she still refused to give up, she cried softly and had no choice but to beg for mercy.
"I said, I said, girl, stop pinching me!"
"Say it quickly!"
Shuangxi was shaken by the yelling, and almost sobbing, she said, "Girl, I don't dare to lie to you, but the prince is indeed very interested in the princess."
"When the slave was in the General's Mansion, the prince went to see the slave. He was worried that the slave would be harmful to the princess, so he drove the slave out. The princess did not take the tonic. This... I guess he likes it."
She was the one who personally sent Shuangxi there for the supplements. Ye Tinglan kicked Shuangxi out. Could it be that he didn't trust her!
It turns out that he has liked that bitch since then! No...it might even be early!
The boundless sourness in her heart filled her heart, and Qin Rulian's facial features couldn't stop twisting, almost turning into lemons and pickles.
Shuangxi was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe.
I thought she would definitely vent her anger on herself again, but Qin Rulian twisted for a long time and actually let go of his hand on her arm.
Shuangxi was astonished and straightened the lantern in his hand a little. He raised his eyes and looked over, only to see Qin Rulian's brows and eyes were soft, and there was no trace of the scary look on his face.
He even smiled at her, curled his lips, and gently touched her forearm.
"Did it hurt you just now?"
Such a soft-spoken, gentle and kind look was completely different from the gloomy, twisted and terrifying one just now.
Double Happiness almost burst into pieces.
"Girl...you just..."
Are you possessed by something?
Unexpectedly, Qin Rulian snorted coldly, shook off her hand and went straight forward.
Shuangxi was still frightened, so he paused when he saw this, deliberately took two steps back, and then chased after him.
Tinglan did not return home these two days and nights, and Qi Xuan also went to other places and never came back. This was in line with Feng Yinwan's wishes.
As soon as she decided to leave, she had to start preparations immediately. She asked Yuping to focus on packing away the gold, silver and soft goods, and did not want anything else.
"Miss, everything is sorted."
Feng Yinwan nodded and weighed the package, her beautiful eyes secretly calculating.
This money is enough for them to use for a long time.
Today is the second day, and tomorrow night is the deadline given by Song Qingan. Yuping put the things away, and seeing her calm eyes still thoughtful, he stepped forward and extinguished a few candles.
"Miss, go to bed early."
It is not appropriate to feel sad again at night.
Feng Yinwan nodded and immediately turned back to the couch.
The night was silent, Feng Yin tossed and turned at night, not knowing when he would fall asleep quietly.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a flash of fire in front of my eyes, and the choking smoke went straight into my mouth and nose.
"Miss, miss! Wake up, you're in trouble!"
Feng Yin was woken up by Yu Ping in the evening. The room was filled with thick smoke, and what came into view was the faint spread of fire, which was almost burning to the bed.
After being stunned for a moment, Feng Yinwan suddenly woke up.
"What's going on?"
So good, why is there water leaking in her room?
The smoke choked people so much that they couldn't open their mouths. Yuping shook his head and just handed her the handkerchief dipped in cold water.
Feng Yinwan took it and tied it quickly.
There was nothing but smoke and fire in front of her, and Feng Yinwan could only rely on her memory to identify the direction.
The fire came from the west wing, and several of the carved windows on that side seemed to have been completely burned down. The door was also on fire, and the wooden poles on the beams burned and fell down, throwing up sparks all over the ground.
The only thing available in the room is a pot of tea.
Seeing that the tongues of fire had already climbed up the curtain, Yuping poured all the tea on the bedding, then draped it over her body, wrapping her tightly.
"Miss, please grab the quilt. Later, the slave will knock the door open, and then you can rush out!"
After saying that, she moved the chair in the corner, took a deep breath, and ran straight to the door.
It was already on fire, and the door was hit hard several times before it fell to pieces and fell to the ground.
"Miss, go quickly!"
Through the smoke screen, Yu Ping could no longer see what was going on inside, so she could only shout with all her strength. However, the fire was too strong and there were crackling sounds everywhere, and the sound was quickly swallowed up.
And inside, there was no response from the beginning to the end.
Thick smoke was billowing, the fire was raging, the bed was surrounded by tongues of flames, but the slender figure beside the bed seemed to be frozen, stopping in place without moving.
Occasionally, broken sounds came through the firelight, but they were quickly suppressed.
There was a buzzing sound in her head, and everything in front of her seemed to be gradually overlapping with a certain scene. Feng Yinwan's eyes were blank and she was stunned in place. Her white fingertips squeezed the corners of the quilt almost instinctively, but her legs were so stiff.
