However, even though the man threatened him so loudly, none of the guards let go.
The Qinghao courtyard in front was only blocked on all four sides by the raging fire. Trying to save people was tantamount to being buried in a sea of fire.
And if there was anyone else in the courtyard at this time, that person would definitely die.
Looking at the sea of fire that no one could rush into, the only thing Zhao Nianze could do was to call Su Zhirou's name heartbreakingly into the sea of fire.
But how could a person trapped in the sea of fire escape?
Even the father-in-law who came with the order couldn't help being startled.
The housekeeper seemed even more afraid, but no matter how afraid he was, he would not dare not tell his master about the people coming from the palace.
"Your Highness, someone is coming from the palace." The butler said softly.
Hearing this, Zhao Nianze turned his gaze from the sea of fire to the person coming from the palace. He was now in a miserable state, with only scarlet eyes showing. Under the light of the fire, his whole body looked like a Inhuman attitude.
He just glanced at the person coming from the palace in silence. After a long time, he slowly asked, "Eunuch Zhang, what are you doing here?"
His voice was extremely hoarse at this time, which showed that he had been working hard in the sea of fire just now.
Eunuch Zhang could only try to smile slightly and said, "Your Highness, are you asking this question knowingly?"
This man was the Huangmen eunuch beside Emperor Yong. He usually came to read out the imperial edict, and he was holding a piece of the imperial edict in his hand at this time, so it was already clear what he was here for.
However, Eunuch Zhang was still very frightened when he saw Zhao Nianze's appearance. If he hadn't brought several servants from the palace with him at this moment, he would have fled through the door.
He also knew in his heart how much His Highness Prince Liang loved Concubine Su, and how much Emperor Yong valued His Highness Prince Liang. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to please His Highness Prince Liang. .
Pave the way for your future.
However, now that he has this imperial edict, I am afraid that he has completely offended His Royal Highness Prince Liang.
Thinking of this, Eunuch Zhang naturally no longer looked at Prince Liang, nor did he explain too much. He only said loudly, "The Holy One has a decree, and Prince Liang will listen to it..."
After hearing what Eunuch Zhang said, Zhao Nianze finally knelt down.
After King Liang knelt down, all the people in his mansion knelt down in unison.
Eunuch Zhang then told Emperor Yong about Zhao Nianze's crime of neglecting official duties, and then also told about Concubine Su's treatment.
Although he felt that Concubine Su probably no longer needed to be dealt with.
After reading the imperial edict, he simply said, "The King of Liang accepted the edict."
However, Zhao Nianze remained motionless, and in the end it was Eunuch Zhang who spoke again.
Zhao Nianze had just stood up, but he didn't know if it was his own illusion. When he stood up, Eunuch Zhang felt that there seemed to be a layer of murderous aura on his body.
However, Zhao Nianze didn't do anything in the end. He just silently took the imperial edict from the other party's hand. Then he suppressed his grief and said, "Arou is probably dead in the fire now. Do you want to get tested before leaving?"
At this time, Eunuch Zhang just wanted to read the imperial edict and leave. He had no intention of examining the corpses in the fire.
What's more, the fire is still strong right now, and people pouring water on it is like drinking poison to quench their thirst, which will not help.
Fortunately, there is a water channel in the Qinghao Courtyard, which just forms a fire break, so when the Qinghao Courtyard burns out, the fire will most likely go out on its own.
But now it would be nonsense to ask him to go inside and experience Su Zhirou's life and death.
This fire will definitely not go out for a while, how can I test it myself? Could it be that he also rushed into the sea of fire? Or wait until the fire is finished burning before testing, but how long will the fire last? I had been wasted for a long time in Miqiao just now. If I continue to waste time with Prince Liang now, Emperor Yong might even think that I was wasting time on purpose.
Therefore, Eunuch Zhang just sighed and said, "Your Highness, I would like to express my condolences. There is no need to pursue the matter of Concubine Su anymore. Your Highness, why not come with us to the palace? Your Majesty's decree is not only for Concubine Su, but also for Concubine Su." Your Highness’ intention to enter the palace.”
Zhao Nianze nodded numbly after hearing this, "I'll go with you!"
Then he took a deep look at the still burning Qinghao Yard, and then only gave instructions to the people below.
He ordered, "You continue to put out the fire. If you find Ah Rou's... corpse, find it."
After saying this, he only said to the father-in-law, "I will change into clean clothes, and then I will follow you into the palace to plead guilty with my father."
At this time, everyone saw that Zhao Nianze had encountered such a big thing, and they couldn't help but sympathize with him. Naturally, no one said anything, so they just followed Zhao Nianze.
On the other side, Su Zhirou had just been disguised by the secret guards and left the capital, arriving at Zhao Nianze's residence. Jiang Nianjiao was being bandaged in the hospital when her time-limited task suddenly stopped timing. At the same time, the system only informed Jiang Nianjiao that her first task had been completed, and now she had successfully obtained points.
After solving the crisis of the time-limited mission, Jiang Nianjiao was naturally in the mood to confront the system about his bad intentions of concealing the mission.
I didn't want the system to speak proactively before she could say anything. "Host, we should give up on this second mission. It's so difficult to investigate this thing. I don't think you may be able to find clues. When the time comes, we will count down the points." Wouldn’t it be necessary to go back to before liberation overnight?”
The system's advice was quite sincere, but these words sounded strange to Jiang Nianjiao's ears.
The system doesn't seem to want to take on certain tasks on its own.
Judging from the previous task and the latter task, although the first task only requires points, its completion should be relatively easy. After all, even if the Xu family wanted to kill Su Zhirou, they would be very limited in actually implementing it. Many, plus he had just rescued Xu Zhilan at that time and just begged them to spare Su Zhirou's life. Thinking about it, they would not refuse.
What's more, it is absolutely impossible for Su Zhirou to be the murderer who persecuted Xu Zhilan.
If he finds out the murderer behind this and clears Su Zhirou's name, the Xu family will definitely have no position to confront Su Zhirou.
The next task is to investigate the real culprit behind it. Although this task is a bit difficult, after all, there is no clue at the moment, and if you ask Xu Zhilan, Xu Zhilan will probably not be willing to tell the truth.
But the points for this task are too high.
So from the analysis of these two characteristics, is this system trying to make you never accumulate enough points and be trapped here forever working for it?
Once I had this idea in my mind, the seeds of doubt took root and sprouted in my heart. I recalled that the dog system had guided me to use the points I had in the system mall in the past.
Jiang Nianjiao felt more and more likely that this was possible.
"Host, what are you thinking about? Why don't you speak?" The system suddenly asked.
"I have accepted this task!" Unexpectedly, Jiang Nianjiao refuted the task assigned by the system as soon as she opened her mouth.
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, the system wailed, "Su Zhirou has been rescued, why are we still trying to find out the truth? Aren't you too tired to panic?"
"If we don't find out the truth, won't there be any estrangement between the two of them because of this matter? What's more, Su Zhirou has faked her death now. She is already a person without identity. Are you going to let her stay as a person without identity for the rest of her life? With Zhao Nianze?" Jiang Nianjiao also asked.
The system seemed very frustrated. It said to Jiang Nianjiao, "These are not within the scope of the host's concern. Our definition of he is very low. In fact, as long as they are together all the time and there is no betrayal or death of one of them, then it is considered he." . And the heroine is protected by us and the hero, so she will be fine."
"What kind of relationship do you have? Are you just trying to create a prison? Don't forget, Su Zhirou is also a thoughtful person. Do you think she can accept our temporary arrangement calmly after she knows the truth? Have you become a shadow without an identity? Moreover, this kind of emotion that consumes people's personal will will not last long, nor can it withstand the slightest torment." This was Jiang Nianjiao's first time arguing with the system on this issue.
The system remained silent.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't hold it back and just expressed her dark conjectures.
She could actually choose to hide it from the system, but she didn't know how well the system could understand her, and she didn't think she could get the results she wanted if she and the system were in the same bed.
Since they coexist in one body, she still has to discuss each other's views with the system.
"And speaking of Su Zhirou, shouldn't you have been in the system all along?
Are you trying to create a prison for me? You don’t want me to save enough points? Don't want me to come into contact with other hosts? You want to control me, do you want me to work for you in this world? So you stopped my mission and limited my points? "
However, after hearing Jiang Nianjiao's inquiry, the system fell silent again. It seemed to be trying to avoid Jiang Nianjiao's questioning in this ostrich way.
"System, are you speaking out? I have eliminated Su Zhirou's risk. Shouldn't you also explain why you hid my mission and prevented me from accumulating enough points?" Jiang Nianjiao asked loudly again, but the system But he was still pretending to be dead silently.
Jiang Nianjiao called for a long time, but the system stopped saying anything.
Fortunately, it didn't have time to accept the task panel, so Jiang Nianjiao still had time to take over some scattered tasks.
Before coming into contact with the system, Jiang Nianjiao always felt that I was me and never doubted the meaning of her existence. However, the emergence of the system broke many of her perceptions.
She could feel that this world was not the world she saw, and the strange dreams she had in the past always gave her the illusion of being separated from the current world.
She has never been more eager to know the deeper secrets of the world than now.
It's a pity that her system really seems to be just taking advantage of her.
Jiang Nianjiao felt a little disappointed. She thought the system might have to pretend to be dead again.
Or maybe he pretended to be dead and then stopped showing up, right?
But no matter which it is, the road ahead will continue.
