"Madam! My madam! Xiang'er! My Xiang'er! Where are you?!" Prince Rong burst into tears and rushed into the ruins to search.
The housekeeper quickly followed, trying to pull Prince Rong out, "Your Majesty, it's too dangerous here. Come out first."
"No, I can't. My wife, my daughter is still inside." Prince Rong reached out to pull out the blackened charcoal.
Although the fire was out, the house was so burned that it was about to collapse.
The housekeeper had no choice but to shout loudly: "Your Majesty, my wife and young lady are probably burned to ashes long ago. You'd better come out quickly."
Prince Rong cried hysterically with red eyes: "No, it's impossible. They were all fine when I left yesterday. How could they be burned?"
"My lord, please calm down first." After the butler said this, he quickly winked at the guards around him.
The guards rushed up together and took Prince Rong out of the ruins. ?.?????.ℂ??
Prince Rong's face was full of tears and his whole body was shaking. He really looked like he had just lost his wife and children.
Actually, it's just acting.
His acting skills were even better than those of the singers on the stage. His eyes were red from crying, and his whole body was shaky, as if he would faint in the next second.
Not long after, General An, the father of the monarch and Princess Rong, arrived.
General An heard that his daughter and granddaughter were buried in the flames. He suddenly aged more than ten years, had white hair, bent over, and came to the ruins shivering.
The last one failed to stand firm and fell to the ground.
"General!"
Everyone quickly gathered around and helped General An up.
Prince Rong also pretended to support General An and said in a hoarse voice: "Father-in-law, it's my fault. I didn't take good care of them."
General An's eyes were full of blood. He looked at the ruins and seemed to not hear the voice of Prince Rong.
"Father-in-law!"
Prince Rong called out again.
The king stood aside, frowning and watching.
Originally, he thought that General An could also control Prince Rong, but now that Princess Rong is dead, General An has nothing else to control Prince Rong.
His face gradually became filled with disappointment.
At this moment, he seemed to see the shadow of his son in the crowd around him.
"Xun'er?"
However, when he took a closer look, there was nothing.
The monarch slowly came to his senses and said to Prince Rong and General An: "I would like to express my condolences to you two. The most important thing now is to find out where the fire came from."
Prince Rong's face darkened slightly.
General An asked in confusion: "My lord, what do you mean?"
The monarch said slowly: "It's not winter, nor is it the season when you should be able to walk on water. How could such a big fire suddenly ignite in Prince Rong's palace, which is so good? I think someone set the fire deliberately."
General An was startled and turned around to look at the ruins.
He suddenly seemed to think of something, strode over, and found a fire seal in a pile of rubble.
Huo Zhezi happened to be pressed by a stone.
General An opened the stone and picked up the fire folding piece. "Your Majesty, look at the fire folding piece. It happened to be pressed by the stone and was not burned by the fire."
The old monarch strode over and looked at the Huozhezi in his hand. Then he frowned, raised his eyes and asked Prince Rong coldly: "Emperor, this Huozhezi seems to belong to your palace."
Prince Rong strode over and looked at the fire seal in General An's hand. It had the mark of Prince Rong's Mansion on it, and it was indeed from Prince Rong's Mansion.
He was shocked and his face was full of disbelief.
The person he sent to set the fire yesterday was his confidant. He had always been very cautious in doing things and there was no way he would have left such an important thing here.
Yes, the person who set the fire would not be so careless and leave the fire certificate of Prince Rong's Mansion here.
Before leaving last night, he specially found a few unmarked fire seals and took them with him.
However, as soon as he went out, he encountered heavy rain on the road. The rain came and went quickly, and all the fire breaks on his body were soaked.
In desperation, he had to go back to the house to get another one. Due to time constraints, he could only take the fire certificate with the mark of Prince Rong's Palace on it.
He originally planned to light the fire and then take the fire away safely, but he accidentally ran into two wild cats.
The wild cat swooped over, knocked the fire stick out of his hand, and rolled it into the stone.
The old monarch pointed at the Huozhezi and asked Prince Rong: "Brother, what do you say about this thing?"
Prince Rong said quickly: "I didn't expect that it was someone from my house who did it. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and avenge my wife and daughter!"
General An frowned slightly, sensing a strange smell, and said coldly: "Prince Rong, aren't you in charge of everyone in your house? Why is there anyone who doesn't listen to you and does such a heinous thing? ?”
