Qin Yuqing unexpectedly transmigrated into a toxic novel and became its female lead, binding herself to an Empress Sys...
Chapter 92 The granary fire was set by the Sixth Princess Qin Yuqing! It was the Sixth Princess...
Song Mingli?
Qin Yuqing searched through the memories in her mind and confirmed that this person did not exist in either the original book plot transmitted by the system she received or the time and space of the original book plot she witnessed with her own eyes.
This is a brand new character.
Song Mingli in front of him looked about the same age as Song Yiru. He was dressed in black, and his behavior revealed an unconcealable hostility and bloodiness.
"Introduce yourself?" Qin Yuqing looked at Song Yiru beside her. Since it was someone she brought here, Qin Yuqing was willing to listen.
"Song Mingli, Ming for tomorrow and Li for dawn, is the adopted son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the crown prince, and my brother." Song Yirou couldn't help but smile when introducing Song Mingli.
Qin Yuqing nodded. Adopted son?
"To be honest with Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess, I am an adopted son raised in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and a pawn of the Song family." Unlike Song Yiru's euphemism, Song Mingli said directly.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion has been fostering many adopted sons for more than a decade, and I am the only one who survived the sea of blood and corpses."
Aren't they just death warriors?
Hearing this, Qin Yuqing looked at Song Mingli carefully again. His skin exposed to the air was delicate and he did not look like someone who had survived a life-and-death fight.
Perhaps sensing Qin Yuqing's doubts, Song Mingli glanced at Song Yiru inquiringly. Seeing her nod at him, he rolled up his sleeves and explained.
"The Prime Minister said that those who survived represent the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so they won't leave scars in common places."
However, those hidden under the clothes were all overlapping scars of new and old. Some of the scars were like a hideous centipede, completely entangling Song Mingli's body.
It was scary and disgusting to watch.
"If that's the case, why did you find me?" She could understand Song Yiru's choice. After all, she knew when they first met that Song Yiru was an extremely ambitious and capable woman.
Moreover, she was extremely disgusted with her younger brother Song Yaozu, but for some reason, she had to hide her true emotions and was forced to clean up the mess for Song Yaozu.
"No need to go through all that red tape, just say it simply." Qin Yuqing saw Song Mingli was about to kneel down in front of her, and hurriedly spoke out to stop him.
"If you don't mind, you can just call me Qin Yuqing. Since we have decided to cooperate, there is no need to worry too much."
Song Mingli looked at Qin Yuqing in surprise. Seeing that the other party said so, he did not force a salute and continued speaking.
"We must help Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess ascend the Nine Dragon Throne!"
Hearing this, Qin Yuqing was not surprised at all. She put away her smile and looked at Song Mingli and Song Yiru seriously.
"I remember that the Song family supported neither me nor the crown prince."
"It's the Second Prince." Song Mingli said directly without hiding anything, "Because the Yu family assisted His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the elders of the Song family also supported the Second Prince."
Yu family, Yu Bingyan.
Qin Yu knocked on the guardrail with one hand. She naturally knew that Song Mingli was not lying. Besides, there was no need for him to lie to her about this.
"But there's a question." Qin Yuqing sat back in his chair, half looking forward. "You're still members of the Song family, so how did you get away from them?"
"We haven't withdrawn." Song Mingli said directly. Now that he had confessed everything, he no longer concealed the ambition in his eyes.
"But we are the people of Great Yin. The Second Prince and the Yu family are not virtuous rulers and ministers. Therefore, for the future of Great Yin, the country cannot be handed over to the Second Prince and the Yu family."
Qin Yuqing is not so easy to talk to. Whether in the modern world or here, this choice involves the rest of her life, and she will not believe it easily.
"Brother Crown Prince has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, and is also a man who can discern reason and logic. Choosing him as Crown Prince is a good strategy."
This time, Song Mingli did not speak, but looked at Song Yiru with an inquiring look.
"This is why we chose the Sixth Princess." Song Yirou nodded again, then spoke softly, "The Crown Prince is indeed kind and righteous, but the future of Great Yin will not be left in his hands."
"What do you mean?"
Song Yirou looked towards the nearby mountains, a hint of a smile in her voice, "Now it's openly a confrontation between the Second Prince and the Crown Prince. The current political situation is a competition of who is more ruthless. It's obvious that the princess is ruthless enough, otherwise she wouldn't use the rumors about the evil spirits in the capital to spread to the south."
"However, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born in a prosperous and peaceful era, he would definitely be a wise ruler. But he was born at the wrong time, and he wants to protect everyone."
Qin Yuqing had neither expected nor noticed that the prince wanted to protect everyone.
Qin Yuqing didn't know much about this prince, and he died quite early in the original book.
"If the second prince or anyone else came, what General Song did would be enough to make him be beaten to death," said Song Yirou.
"General Song is a member of the Song family." Qin Yuqing's eyes fell on the city gate that had returned to normal and asked, "Are you willing to give it up?"
"What's there to be reluctant about? They supported the wrong person and they refuse to change. Why should my brother and I follow them into the sea of fire?" A murderous intent flashed in Song Yiru's eyes. This was not a momentary impulse, but something accumulated over the years.
Song Mingli stood beside Song Yirou, bowed earnestly to Qin Yuqing, and said, "His Majesty intends to promote Your Highness. Besides, we are aware of everything that happened in the south."
"Following Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess isn't an act of anger on our part, but a decision we made after careful consideration."
Qin Yuqing smiled. She stood up, took out two jade pendants, and placed them in the hands of Song Yiru and Song Mingli respectively. After thinking for a moment, she put her hands in the air.
Song Yiru and Song Mingli looked at Qin Yuqing in confusion, not knowing what she was going to do.
Qin Yuqing grabbed Song Yirou's other empty hand and gently placed it on the back of her own hand. Seeing this, Song Mingli blushed slightly and placed his hand halfway on the back of Song Yirou's hand.
"Everything is for the future of Dayin." Qin Yuqing placed his other hand on top and pressed down hard.
Song Yirou withdrew her hand doubtfully, holding the jade pendant in her other hand: "What does this mean?"
Qin Yuqing smiled lightly. This was what her brothers and she who followed her did when Xiandai just started their business.
"This means that we have formed an alliance. We will prosper together and suffer together."
Song Yiru and Song Mingli looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes. They were not sure whether their choice was correct.
But judging from the opinions of the people in the south, Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess is definitely the most suitable candidate.
But what if it’s wrong?
Song Yiru and Song Mingli thought that it would never be wrong.
Qin Yuqing was about to say something else when a noisy sound rang out again, and the next moment, a panicked sound came from not far away.
A large amount of flames appeared in the south of Los Angeles, and thick black smoke continued to extend into the sky.
"This is... a granary!" Song Yiru recognized the location, her pupils trembling constantly. She wanted to go downstairs anxiously, but was hugged by Song Mingli.
At this time, Chuntao also came from not far away, stood beside Qin Yuqing, and put her arm around Qin Yuqing's waist.
"Let's go and take a look."
A group of people jumped onto the roof, looked at the crowd fleeing on the street, and moved towards the fire against the crowd.
Looking at the granary burning in the fire, the "granary" plaque on the door was burned in half, and there was thick smoke inside, making it impossible to see the situation clearly.
"Put out the fire first." Qin Yuqing gave an order and everyone took action, but she grabbed the deer that was about to get the bucket of water and brought it with her.
"Just stop moving."
The deer puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction: "A deer can also put out a fire! Why not let the deer help!"
Qin Yuqing rubbed Xiaolu's head. After spending so many days together, she had already regarded Xiaolu as her own sister.
"Do you remember what I told you before?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Xiaolu's eyes, and then he looked at the fire. Suddenly he understood. This time he stood honestly beside Qin Yuqing and nodded vigorously.
"I've remembered everything!"
"Great." Qin Yuqing looked at the people who were constantly putting out the fire, and then looked at the prince, Lu Jingchuan and Prefect Shen who were arriving late not far away.
The stage in Los Angeles was finally filled with people, and the last part of the southern play could finally be performed.
Lu Jingchuan ran towards Qin Yuqing with a cold face, carefully checked her body from head to toe, and breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that there were no wounds.
"I'm fine." Qin Yuqing winked at Lu Jingchuan quietly, "Are you all ready?"
"Lu Jiu is following."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Lord Prefect Shen anxiously rolled up his sleeves, personally picked up the bucket, and followed the large team of firefighters. "There's a year's worth of food stored in there!"
Qin Yuqing patted the back of Lu Jingchuan's hand and said, "Go put out the fire first. There are people outside." After that, Qin Yuqing brought Xiaolu to the prince, and then pulled the prince aside without saying anything.
The prince was puzzled. He was about to go and put out the fire: "Sixth sister, what does this mean?"
"There are already enough people here, let's not add to the chaos. Besides, isn't the Crown Prince curious about why the granary by the water caught fire?"
The prince looked at Qin Yuqing in confusion. From the Wenshan incident, he understood that his sixth sister was very cunning. Whether it was the assassination in the capital or the trip to the south, it all seemed to be part of her plan.
"Why?" But the prince didn't believe that Qin Yuqing had set the fire.
There was a wicked smile in the fox's eyes, the firelight reflected in his eyes. Although Qin Yuqing's voice was smiling, it sounded cold.
"Because the weather is dry, be careful of fire; evil spirits are rampant, causing chaos in the government."
The prince didn't say anything, but he could hear the resentment in Qin Yuqing's voice when he said this.
The fire was quickly brought under control. Lord Shen knelt on the ground in a panic, pounding the ground. "What a sin! What a sin! How could a fire start out of nowhere?"
"This is a year's worth of food for the Great Yin! What a sin, truly a sin! What should we do?"
At this moment, a man rushed out of the granary, his face full of fear. After escaping from danger, he stood there angrily and shouted.
"It was the Sixth Princess Qin Yuqing who set the fire! It was the Sixth Princess! She set the fire!"
In an instant, all the people looked at Qin Yuqing with anger and incomprehension.
Qin Yuqing sighed helplessly, looked at Song Yiru and Song Mingli standing beside her, and then said to the prince.
"My prince, please understand and clear my name. I have never been alone since I came to the city."
The prince naturally knew that Qin Yuqing had no time and would never do that.
"Who are you? What did you see when the granary caught fire?"
"I am the granary keeper! It was Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess! It was Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess who set the fire!" The granary keeper's eyes were bloodshot, and he pointed at Qin Yuqing, repeating the same sentence over and over again.
"The Sixth Princess has conjured up a demonic fire! She wants to destroy Luo City! Destroy Great Yin!"
"The Sixth Princess is a disaster! I saw her set the fire with my own eyes!"
