The two arrived belatedly, and when they saw it, they saw that a huge and magnificent rice palace had been turned into ruins in an instant. The charred charcoal wood everywhere was still steaming due to the cold.
Xia Tan'er looked around and saw Nan Lingmu and Nan Lingpeng standing there not far away, their heads covered with charcoal dust, and even their clothes were soaked through.
"Xilingche, wait for me here, I'll go see them two."
Without waiting for Xiling Che's reply, Xia Tan'er let go and walked towards Nan Lingmu. Xiling Che glanced at Xia Tan'er's direction and made sure that she was not in danger before sizing up the onlookers around her.
In the blink of an eye, a snow-white figure came into view, and that handsome face was full of pride after succeeding.
Xilingche smiled slightly, understanding in his heart.
"Second Prince, Pengpeng, are you okay?"
Xia Tan'er's shouts could be regarded as bringing back their souls. Seeing the familiar person in front of him, Nan Lingpeng was so frightened that he crawled into Xia Tan'er's arms.
"Sister Tan..."
"Pengpeng, my name is Doctor Tan."
Nan Lingmu still had sense and hurriedly warned Nan Lingpeng. He looked around again to make sure no one was watching them, then he leaned down and explained to Nan Lingpeng in a low voice.
"There are many people here and it would be bad if Dr. Tan's identity is exposed."
Nanling Mu was also a smart man. He understood Xia Tan'er's intention just by looking at her clothes. It was Xia Tan'er who snatched him back from the hands of the King of Hell when he was on the verge of death.
He will never forget that scene until his death.
"Okay, okay, it's okay, it's okay."
Xia Tan'er patted Nan Lingpeng's back and comforted her softly. Seeing that the person in her arms was no longer so scared, she looked at Nan Lingmu.
"Second Prince, what is going on? Why is your palace on fire? Is someone doing it deliberately or seeking revenge?"
Nan Lingmu shook his head.
"Little Wang doesn't know. Xiao Wang was still sleeping when he discovered the fire. He woke up after smelling smoke. When he woke up, he found that the maids serving Xiao Wang had fainted on the ground. No matter how he screamed, Xiao Wang screamed. Not awake."
"After Xiao Wang dragged them out, he suddenly remembered Pengpeng and the Seventh Emperor's brother, and immediately rushed over to save them. He had no time to find out who set the fire."
"Where's the fire?"
"I don't know. I'm afraid we have to wait until the fire is put out before we can verify it."
"Then you go to my place for just one night tonight..."
"No need."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong male voice sounded from his ears. Dong Lingjiu and his guards walked through the crowds and came to Xia Tan'er and Nan Lingmu.
As soon as he raised his hand, the guards behind him immediately dispersed and drove away the onlookers around him one by one.
"The king has prepared another room for several distinguished guests from Nanling, and also invited the imperial physician to check their pulses."
It was a matter of life and safety, so Nan Lingmu couldn't help but lose his temper, but the visitor was Dong Lingjiu, so he had to suppress his temper and complain to Dong Lingjiu.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, you have to keep a close watch on the public security in Dongling. If this happens again, what should we do if this happens to us?"
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give Nanling an explanation."
As the person in charge, it is the responsibility to ensure the safety of everyone in the palace, and even Dongling Jiu is no exception.
"It's best to hurry up. Xiao Wang doesn't want to be worried every day and can't sleep at night! Peng Peng, let's go!"
"Yes, Brother Huang."
Before leaving, Nan Lingpeng raised his eyes and glanced at Shao Qing. Dong Lingjiu twitched the corner of his mouth and turned around to order Shao Qing.
"Shaoqing, you have been guarding the princess these days and must ensure her safety."
"I obey my orders!"
