Seeing Yun Si protecting her so desperately, Huo Linye found it extremely ridiculous.
What he gave her was not rare.
She cherishes what others give her as much as she protects her eyes.
Even if it is, it is just a food box.
"Walk."
Huo Linye turned around resolutely and never looked at her again.
Seeing everyone leave, Yun Si was really relieved.
However, Huo Linye still did not evacuate the people guarding the outside. Instead, he called more people.
Yun Si held the candle, her eyes extremely calm: "I can't just sit back and wait for death, can I?"
As if he understood what Yun Si said, Zhu Yan let out a low groan in his throat.
She stroked Zhu Yan's fur as smooth as satin and took out a fire stick: "Let me see how capable you are... burn down this Chu Prince's Mansion."
Zhu Yan opened his mouth and bit Huozhe, then jumped out of the back window silently.
If she had never seen Zhu Yan, Yun Si would not believe that there could be such a spiritual creature beyond her knowledge.
But Yun Si knew how Huo Shenzhi got Zhu Yan, so she probably wouldn't be so surprised.
…
In the dark night, I couldn't see my fingers, and the night wind was blowing like crazy.
Zhu Yan lived up to his name and walked out of Prince Chu's Mansion silently, stopping in front of the people on the hill behind the Prince's Mansion.
A hand with sharp bones stretched out from the wheelchair and took the fire break from its mouth.
Zhu Yan roared twice and looked towards the Prince Chu's Mansion below.
"Are you going to burn down Prince Chu's Mansion?" The male voice in the shadow was bone-chilling, even playfully teasing.
He stretched out his hand and stroked Zhu Yan's back, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and guard her. The medicine that can restore her body will be available in Beijing soon."
Zhu Yan rubbed his head on his leg and disappeared into the night in the wind.
"Huo Ying, go."
The order sounded, Huozhezi was thrown upward, and the people behind him moved in response.
If the main courtyard of the Chu Prince's Mansion burned down, the Fanghua Courtyard would certainly not be immune to the disaster.
The two courtyards lead to other places, and the fire can even lick half of the Chu Palace.
In just half a cup of tea, the night sky was lit up by flames reaching into the sky.
Yun Si didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
When Zhu Yan came back, Yun Si looked at him with admiration in his eyes.
Listening to the sound of wind and fire competing, Yun Si went to bed peacefully.
Zhu Yan walked around Yun Si's bed, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the flower pot under the window, then wanted to lie down under her bed.
Seeing this, Yun Si got up, her delicate face reflected in the red firelight. She patted the inside of the bed: "Zhu Yan, come up."
Zhu Yan raised his head and looked at Yun Si quietly. When he saw her patting her again, he jumped onto the bed.
He opened his mouth again and grabbed Yun Si's clothes, trying to pull her inside.
Yun Si moved in without knowing why, but Zhu Yan jumped over her and slept next to the bed.
Yun Si was warmed by its thoughtful gesture, took a deep breath, pulled the quilt and lay down comfortably.
A delicate yet tough woman, a murderous and dangerous beast.
At this moment, being illuminated by the firelight outside the window, there was actually an eerie beauty.
…
"Your Majesty, the wind is strong tonight. Maybe the wind blew the candlestick over and caused the fire."
The fire continued, and Butler Huang's voice was already trembling.
Huo Linye placed Su Yunrou in a side courtyard where the fire could not reach him, and then came out with a calm face.
"A natural disaster?"
He sneered coldly: "The main courtyard and Fanghua courtyard burned down together. I have never heard of such a coincidental natural disaster. Did you neglect your duty, or was it someone else's intention?"
Butler Huang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled: "Your Majesty, the matter has not been concluded yet. Let me check it out and report back."
"Trash, you don't need to check. Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, will I know?" Huo Linye looked at Butler Huang and patiently refrained from expressing his anger: "Get out!"
His eyes fell on Mrs. Wu: "How is Yun Si doing over there?"
Mrs. Wu respectfully reported: "Everything in the large and small courtyards adjacent to Qingzhu Garden is fine. I think it's too far away and the fire can't reach there."
"Too biased?" Huo Linye sneered: "Is it the yard that's biased, or the arsonist's hand that's biased?"
Madam Wu didn't know what to say.
She is an old person in the Chu Palace, and she sincerely hopes that the princess and the prince will be well.
Now after hearing this, he couldn't help but say: "Why don't you, the prince, try to believe the princess?"
Huo Linye raised his eyebrows: "Believe it?"
Yun Si has openly gone out to discuss with other men how to divorce him, how can he believe her?
Tonight, it’s for a beast...
He didn't want to think about it anymore. Every time he thought about it, his heart felt like it was being pulled hard by a thread, and it hurt so much.
Madam Wu did not dare to look at Huo Linye's face, but she knelt on the ground piously and said sincerely: "Then the prince saw that the princess was really confused with other men? She saw with her own eyes that the princess and those men were different. The relationship is good, or do we have any concrete evidence to prove it?"
Huo Linye's eyes gradually calmed down: "What do you want to say?"
"Let me talk too much, old slave, and say a few more words."
Madam Wu boldly said: "The prince does not want to compensate the princess, but wants to win the princess's heart and make her like before. She has you in her eyes and loves you in her heart. But the prince always hurts the princess for some unreasonable things. She pushed further and further away. The prince would not feel comfortable being hurt by the princess, but what about the princess?"
"In this year, the days and nights when no one cares about her, and every day when she is a concubine's blood bag, the princess must be a hundred times more miserable than the prince."
"Now, the prince is so suspicious of the princess's innocence because of something without evidence. Forgive me for talking. I think all the princess's actions are reasonable."
The more Mrs. Wu talked, the more excited she became, and she gradually made a mistake: "On the contrary, it's you, the prince, who says one thing and does another, and doesn't take the princess's needs seriously at all."
"Bold, you don't want to die!" Liefeng couldn't believe that Mrs. Wu dared to say such a thing.
Huo Linye raised his hand to stop him, looked down at Madam Wu who was kneeling on the ground, surprisingly lifeless, and said in an even calmer voice: "Go down."
Mrs. Wu suddenly understood, stood up with her legs a little weak, and then retreated.
"Lie Feng, is it not good for me to take her seriously?"
Otherwise, why would even the old slave in the palace say this.
Liefeng said: "Your Majesty is wrong. Your Majesty is the proud son of heaven. Just giving the throne of Princess Chu to the Princess is a great gift to the Princess. The Princess is very dissatisfied and asks for too much. Understand women’s virtues.”
Huo Linye waved his hand impatiently: "Go down."
The fire burned until early the next morning.
Before dawn, Yun Si heard the noise.
When he opened his eyes, Zhu Yan beside him was gone.
Even the food box is missing.
She went out looking for the sound and saw someone moving large items into Qingzhu Garden.
"What is this doing?"
Yun Si raised her eyebrows.
Huo Linye came slowly from the corridor: "The main courtyard is burned down. I will live here first. You and I will not interfere with each other."
Yun Si didn't know what tricks he wanted to play, so she just said casually: "Whatever you want."
Seeing Yun Si about to leave, Huo Linye called her name.
Seeing her stop, he asked in a deep voice the question that had disturbed him all night: "What would you have done if someone else had saved you in the ruined temple in Xizhou instead of me?"
Yun Si found it ridiculous: "I recognized the wrong person. You are not worthy of my nostalgia. Why should I stay here?"
She then thought: "Could it be that you weren't the one who was there that night?"
The flaw in Huo Linye's eyes disappeared so quickly that there was no trace.
He slowly approached, looked into Yun Si's eyes, and said in a slow and soft voice: "Then I will tell you that the person who saved you that night..."
