Chapter 367: The Crown Princess's Courtyard Caught Fire, Almost Killing Two

On the way, Jiusu asked.

"Will anyone think that saving Xu Jincai was a foolish thing to do?"

Jiang Jing pondered and said truthfully, "A selfish person would feel foolish, but an altruist wouldn't. Ah Su, it's rare for anything in this world to go your way. You don't want to see Xu Jincai marry, but it's because you can't bear to see thousands of bullied girls continue to suffer at their hands. You don't want the 'princess' to become a victim."

He spoke each word clearly.

"Marriage alliance is a sign of cowardice for the Xu State. We reject it."

Jiusu no longer had any concerns: "Yes! I refuse the marriage!"

She returned home exhausted and happened to meet Li Fenghe who was scolding the servants. She called out to him politely.

Li Fenghe said with concern: "Niece, you should take care to rest even if you are busy with official duties. You look haggard. From now on, a bowl of bird's nest will be sent to the eldest lady's courtyard every day."

Jiusu raised his eyebrows: "Thank you, Third Uncle."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Li Fenghe sent the person away with a smile on his face. When he turned around, he found Fang Lianjiao staring at him. He rolled his eyes and instructed the doorman, "Remember, don't let insignificant people into the house, understand?"

Gatekeeper: "Yes!"

Fang Lianjiao looked at his majestic appearance, with mixed feelings in her heart. She took a few steps forward, but the doorman stopped her. She shouted anxiously, "Master, it's me. Can I have a moment to talk?"

Li Fenghe turned around, sneered a few times, and spoke with sarcasm.

He crossed his arms and asked, "Miss Fang, what do you want to talk to me about? Just say it here. I don't want to make Tao'er sad."

Every word he said was "Peach".

Fang Lianjiao's teeth felt sore and itchy. She suppressed her anger and said with a smile, "Master, your anger has subsided during this period, right? After all, we have three daughters, especially Yan'er, who is laughed at by her husband's family every day. For the sake of the children, please let me come back."

"Come back?" Li Fenghe laughed a few times, "There's no place for you here anymore."

Fang Lianjiao said hurriedly: "I don't mind Tao'er being my concubine."

Li Fenghe burst into laughter. If he hadn't held onto the door, he would have fallen to the ground. "A concubine? You're the one who wants a concubine? I'm telling you, you're not even worthy of being a maid, let alone a concubine!"

"close the door!"

The door closed and Fang Lianjiao pounded on it angrily.

"Li Fenghe, you bastard! We've been married for so many years, yet you're so cruel! Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

Next second.

The gate of the mansion was indeed open.

She didn't have time to be happy.

He was splashed with slop.

"vomit!"

Fang Lianjiao was covered in dirty water and vegetable leaves. Seeing more and more people gathered around, she quickly covered her face and ran away.

——

After the incident with Yuwen Jie, the relationship between the envoys and the State of Xu became very tense.

Tiffany, wearing a mask, was walking down the street when she saw Yu Wenjie sitting in a carriage surrounded by iron fences. She was shocked. What was the difference between this and a prisoner carriage? That was the crown prince! She said, "It seems that Emperor Xu is determined to go to war with the Heavenly Kingdom."

“Serves you right.”

Di Fei said.

It was simply unthinkable to bully a princess of a country. He glanced at his sister and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was watching closely.

Tiffany sighed, "I heard that it was Jiusu who rescued the princess from the tiger's mouth and remained unyielding in the face of the Heavenly Kingdom. Fortunately, we did not continue to oppose her."

Tifei bought a bunch of various kinds of candied haws and handed them to Tiffany.

"We are also going back to Xige today. I think that if Tianguo wants to attack Xuguo, he will definitely unite with the surrounding countries. Since he is conspiring with Jiusu, we must make plans early."

Tiffany raised an eyebrow, "Why didn't I think you were so smart before?"

Tifei chuckled, "If I wasn't smart, why would I be the prince?"

Not far away, Zheng Jiang came back from the palace, having been met with disgrace. He proposed to exchange four cities for Jiusu, but Emperor Xu refused outright, thinking that Jiusu was more valuable, so he added two more cities and many rare treasures and food supplies.

However, they were all rejected one by one.

He lifted the curtain, got into the carriage, and gave orders in a cold voice.

"Return to the Great Kingdom!"

The situation in various countries was turbulent and unpredictable. Emperor Xu ordered the generals to intensify the training of soldiers and not to slack off. News came from inside and outside the palace that no princess would be allowed to marry into another country in the future.

Marriage alliance is the weakest sign of a dynasty.

The people were greatly encouraged and spread the good story of Emperor Xu.

At noon, which was supposed to be the Crown Princess's rest time, she heard that the person leading the troops this time was Xu Changrong. She was in a bad mood and sighed, "I don't know what the emperor was thinking. He was given such an important task, while Your Highness was only sent south to control the flood."

In the dispute between the legitimate son and the illegitimate son, the legitimate son originally had the upper hand.

But because of Concubine Qi Jing's face, the emperor continued to favor the prince.

Qiu Ying supported her waist and stood up, and ordered: "The prince must be in a bad mood. Go to the dessert shop and buy some ice cream to cool down the palace."

She couldn't stay in the house, so she drank a cup of tea, quietly left through the small door, and strolled out of the house.

Qiu Ying went to the Marquis' Mansion and had a rare chat with Jiusu.

Qiu Ying smiled gently, "Chatting with you has made me feel much better. You're right, fighting a war is not easy. The prince is reckless and belligerent. He must be looking for an opportunity to prove himself, and this is exactly where mistakes are likely to happen."

Jiusu responded: "Although floods are not as bad as wars, they can achieve great things. But if we succeed in this trip south, we will surely win back the hearts of the people to the south."

Hearing this, Qiu Ying couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

A group of servants carrying buckets of water ran past the gate, panicked and anxious.

Zitan asked: "What happened?"

The servant said, "The Prince's Mansion is on fire! All the nearby mansions are going to help put out the fire."

Qiu Ying quickly stood up and looked at the fire from a distance. She said, "This is not mine..."

Suddenly, her eyes widened.

I broke out in a cold sweat on my back and my legs were shaking.

"This, this is my yard."

Fortunately, she secretly came out to relax, otherwise, there would be two deaths.

Qiu Ying raised her head and looked at Jiusu with tears in her eyes: "You are really my lucky star."

Jiusu brought some tea to warm her up, then said, "The fire in your yard must be a serious matter. I'll accompany you back home."

The Prince's Mansion was in a state of chaos.

People around were carrying buckets of water to put out the fire.

Xu Qihuai rushed back and went straight to the backyard. Looking at the burned yard, he suffocated. Looking around at the servants who lowered their heads and dared not speak, he asked anxiously: "Where is the Crown Princess? I'm asking you, where is the Crown Princess?"

The servants knelt down in obedience.

The fire was out, and Ziyin ran back with the ice cream she had bought. She was curious about why it was smoking, but when she saw the prince, she said, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess asked me to buy you some ice cream."

She realized that something was wrong with the prince's expression.

She looked sideways.

She was immediately frightened out of her wits.

Xu Qihuai asked, "Did the Crown Princess go out with you?"

“No, no.” Ziyin clenched her fists. She knelt on the ground and dug through the rubble with her hands. “Miss, Miss, where are you!?”

Such a big fire disturbed the people in the Qiu Mansion.

"What the hell is going on?!" Qiu Shishu's eyes were red as he looked at the Crown Prince, "Where is the Crown Princess?"

Xu Qihuai took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I don't know."

Qiu Man ran to Ziyin and kept digging at the ruins.

"Sister! Don't scare me, wuwuwu, you are my only sister!"
