The door was quietly opened, and through the moonlight outside, the figure of this man could be vaguely seen, and he stepped in quietly.
"Beauty, I'm here!" The man's high-pitched voice sounded lewd.
After waiting for a while, Chu Yunning was sure that this person had no accomplices, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
The silver needle at the fingertips flew towards the man quickly, and with a bang, the man fell to the ground.
Chu Yunning opened the door for ventilation and lit the candle.
The room soon became brighter, and she could clearly see the person coming.
"This is the concierge's youngest son, Zhang Da. I met him once. He likes to gamble in the back concierge."
Beibei recognized the identity of the man on the ground at a glance.
He is in his early twenties and quite handsome. He is worthy of being carefully selected by the other party.
It's just that she didn't expect such vulgar and vicious methods to be used on herself.
Chu Yunning touched Beibei's head: "Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, I am an upright man and I want to protect my mother!" Beibei waved his fists and gritted his teeth angrily: "No one is allowed to bully my mother!"
Chu Yunning took Beibei and stood in the yard, looking up at the moonlight. The cold wind blew on her face, making her whole body sober.
Aunt Mao hesitated: "Princess, do you really want to do this? What if..."
"There's nothing to be prepared for. There's nothing to miss here."
If you want to play, play a big one!
Chu Yunning entered the house and came out quickly. After a while, the house was reflected in the light of fire. The fire continued to spread under the wind, and in just half an hour, it was already blazing into the sky.
The flames quickly alerted the people outside, and the servants shouted at the top of their lungs that there was a fire.
Chu Yunning was sitting on the threshold holding Beibei in his arms. His clothes were torn to pieces and there were traces of being burned.
"How could the princess be so careless and set fire to the yard? What if someone is hurt?"
The butler led people to put out the fire, with a look of reluctance on his face. He was shouted at in his sleep, which was really frustrating.
Chu Yunning raised her hand and gave the butler a hard slap, her thin figure facing the firelight
The momentum was breathtaking, and his eyes were even hotter than the fire: "Who gave you the courage to slander me?"
set fire!"
The chief steward was stunned for a moment, covering his face and dared not speak in anger.
"What's going on?"
Prince Xiao hurried over wearing a black coat, looking at the blazing fire, his brows furrowed enough to kill a fly.
The chief steward glared at Chu Yunning fiercely and stepped forward to complain: "Your Majesty, the fire must have been caused by the princess accidentally knocking over the candlestick."
"Princess, are you angry about what happened during the day, and are you venting your anger on purpose?" Ye Yan'er came from behind, standing next to Prince Xiao with her face flushed, her hair disheveled, and the ambiguous aura in her eyes that had not yet dissipated.
"What, the princess did it on purpose?" the chief steward raised his voice, looking in disbelief: "How could the princess be so cruel and disregard the lives of hundreds of people in the palace? No wonder the fire started in the main room of Danqiong Courtyard.
"
When the servant who was putting out the fire heard this, his face suddenly changed when he looked at Chu Yunning, and he blamed her for being too selfish!
"The princess is too pretentious."
"This is not the first time that the princess has evil thoughts. She should be locked up."
The servants' complaints became louder and louder, but Chu Yunning seemed not to hear them. She was waiting for Prince Xiao's reaction.
"Crack!"
Prince Xiao approached Chu Yunning, slapped her in the face very quickly, and stared at her with a pair of dark, angry eyes.
"You set fire to the palace, you are seeking death, and you have to drag so many people to be buried with you, damn it!"
Chu Yunning was stunned for a moment, with a wry smile on her lips. The slap was returned so quickly.
My ears were buzzing and it took me a long time to regain my hearing.
Chu Yunning touched the corner of her torn mouth and laughed angrily: "Your Majesty, he accused me indiscriminately. Isn't it too arbitrary? I even wonder if His Majesty doesn't like me and wants to burn me." Are we, mother and son, going to die?"
"Princess, what are you talking about!" Ye Yaner frowned: "How could the prince do such a thing..."
"That means you don't like me anymore and want to get rid of me. After all, my existence is an eyesore to you. As long as I'm here, you will always be a concubine who cannot be put on the stage!"
The word "concubine" stung Ye Yan'er's heart. Ye Yan'er's face turned red instantly, and her eyes were full of malice.
"Your Majesty, Yan'er didn't do this."
"I believe you." Prince Xiao patted Ye Yan'er on the shoulder, took her into his arms, and said displeasedly: "Don't slander Yan'er here. You made a mistake yourself and you still want to blame it on Yan'er. It's simply vicious. The ultimate!"
"Then what evidence does the prince have to prove that I set the fire, rather than someone deliberately setting the fire to hurt people?" Chu Yunning asked with a sneer.
Prince Xiao pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
"What good can we, mother and son, gain from setting fire to our own yard?"
Chu Yunning pressed forward step by step, with five clear slap marks on her fair and jade face.
It didn't affect her momentum at all.
King Xiao frowned. He was indeed impulsive just now. Think carefully about why Chu Yunning did this?
"Your Majesty, the news that the courtyard was burned has reached the ears of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother will definitely not spare Yan'er lightly, but Yan'er was really wronged."
Ye Yaner's mind was spinning rapidly and she opened her mouth to give a suitable reason.
Prince Xiao immediately agreed upon hearing this. Fortunately, Yan'er was smart, otherwise he would have been fooled by Chu Yunning.
"Ye Yan'er, do you dare to swear to God that you didn't plot against Danqiong Academy today?"
Chu Yunning was almost pissed off by Prince Xiao. He was too serious about love and was led by Ye Yaner everywhere.
Ye Yan'er's eyelids twitched, she pursed her red lips and remained silent.
Seeing that she was reluctant to speak, Chu Yunning smiled: "Why, do you feel guilty?"
"What the hell are you playing!" Prince Xiao scolded him coldly.
"If you dare to swear on the future of the entire Ye family that you have no plans for Danqiong Courtyard today, if the Queen Mother asks about the fire, I will bear the responsibility and will never implicate you, how about that?"
When the words came to this, Prince Xiao immediately said to Ye Yan'er: "Yan'er, I believe you have never done this. Please swear to make her give up completely!"
Ye Yaner bit her teeth tightly and tasted the taste of blood in her mouth. The pain made her regain some of her senses.
"I......"
"Concubine Ye, there is a god in your head. If you tell lies, you will be punished by God."
Chu Yunning deliberately made a sound to scare him.
Ye Yaner's face turned even paler, and she was annoyed that the person Lu Zhu found was unreliable. She had promised to destroy Chu Yunning's innocence, so why was she so stupid as to set the courtyard on fire?
"Yan'er, tell me quickly." Prince Xiao urged.
As long as Yan'er opens her mouth, this matter has nothing to do with Yan'er, and the Queen Mother will naturally not blame Yan'er.
Ye Yaner's throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't make a sound for a long time, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
At this time, the boy who was putting out the fire found someone lying in the main courtyard, and quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, there is someone else in the house!"
Everyone's attention was immediately attracted.
The butler shouted at the top of his lungs: "It seems to be a man. How could there be a man in the princess's room so late at night?"
When Prince Xiao heard this, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
