Chapter 381: Absolutely Cannot Stay
Zhao Xuan took a look and after determining the direction, her face turned pale: "Isn't that the yard where we live?"
Ji Yunshu also saw it, and she immediately knew what was going on.
Yao Ruolan was not qualified to attend the dinner, and she was the only one left at the Marquis's residence tonight.
She took Zhao Xuan's hand and walked back.
Putting aside other things, Bai Ling and Yin Ye are both skilled in martial arts, so they would not be burned to death by fire.
Before I returned to the main hall, I saw Zhao Shen coming out.
Of course, there were also Yao and others. When the fire started in the middle of the night, everyone could see it clearly.
Zhao Xuan guessed that Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen had something to say, so she stepped aside very obediently.
Ji Yunshu walked up to Zhao Shen and asked quietly, "Have you told Zhao Heng?"
Zhao Shen shook his head and said, "It's useless to tell him, and it will easily alert the enemy. Don't worry, I have left some people in the yard, so nothing will happen."
It’s not that he looks down on Zhao Heng. If Yao Ruolan relied on him, she would have died several times.
Ji Yunshu finally felt relieved, but as he looked at the blazing fire, his heart sank: "With such a big fire, I'm afraid it will implicate other families."
The climate has been dry recently, and the fire cannot be put out for the time being, so it will inevitably spread to other places.
Zhao Shen looked in the direction of the fire with a somewhat cold expression.
Even with the imperial guards dispatched, it took more than an hour to put out the fire.
After the fire, a large area of courtyards around the Changxing Marquis' residence were burned to ashes.
Fortunately, the men Zhao Shen left were capable. When the fire broke out, they first rescued their own family members, including Yao Ruolan.
When the fire broke out, Zhao Heng ran back like crazy. Yao couldn't stop him and had to let him go.
I thought it would be pointless to go back since the fire was so big.
Who would have thought that Yao Ruolan was lucky enough to be rescued.
In full view of everyone, Zhao Heng held Yao Ruolan tightly and refused to let go.
Wei Yuanmin, who witnessed this scene, wished he could tear the two of them apart.
Amidst the strange gazes of the crowd, Princess Taining glanced at Yao and pulled her daughter away.
Once the plan failed, Yao's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.
She looked at Yao Ruolan, who was hugging her son without caring about other people's eyes, and there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
Yao Ruolan must not be allowed to stay.
The fire is out and this place is uninhabitable.
Ji Yunshu was just hesitating about where to stay tonight when the Queen Mother sent someone to pick her up.
She took Zhao Shen to seek refuge with the Queen Mother.
When they arrived, the empress dowager had already had a courtyard cleaned up. This time, only the empress came out with the emperor, so it was not inconvenient for Zhao Shen to live there.
It was getting late, so the Queen Mother asked Ji Yunshu a few questions and then let them go to rest.
Arriving at his residence, Ji Yunshu washed up before lying down on the bed.
Things happened one after another today, especially the banquet in the evening. She was a little nervous. Now that she relaxed, she felt a little tired.
Zhao Shen saw that her face was rarely stained with some fatigue, so he said: "If you are tired, go to sleep."
Ji Yunshu nodded, closed his eyes but couldn't fall asleep: "Was it Yao who started the fire?"
Zhao Shen nodded: "The Princess can't possibly get involved in this kind of thing. Only Yao can have someone do it herself."
Ji Yunshu found that his disgust for Yao had reached an unbearable level.
The fire was so big that most of the important people were not at home tonight, and many servants were burned to death.
Especially the servants of Changxing Marquis Mansion.
"I think the fire started all of a sudden. There must be something that fueled the fire. Is there no evidence?"
Zhao Shen saw that she had the urge to pull Yao out regardless of the consequences, so he patted her back gently and said soothingly: "Don't worry, we will find a way to deal with her."
Ji Yunshu also knew that she was too impatient. She just couldn't accept that Yao treated human life as worthless in order to achieve her goals.
"What do you say Jingzhe?"
It was Jingzhe who rescued Yao Ruolan.
"When he discovered the fire, it was already quite large and there must have been something fuelling it, but he only had time to save people and now everything is gone."
Why do people like to kill and burn people?
After the fire, only ashes remain.
There is no possible evidence.
"What on earth does the Yao family rely on to be so unscrupulous?"
Ji Yunshu gritted his teeth.
Zhao Shen was silent for a moment before he said, "Perhaps, it's my fate."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but look at him when he heard that.
Zhao Shen's face was expressionless, his eyes dark and deep. "You've guessed it, right? There aren't many things in the world that can control my father, and she was the one who poisoned my mother in the first place."
Ji Yunshu's heart moved: "So she really has an antidote?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "I don't know."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but be silent. Yes, Yao hid it so deeply, who knows if she has the antidote?
Normally, if there is poison, there should be an antidote, but Zhao Shen's case is really special.
If Yao really had the antidote in her hands, she would have nothing to fear.
"What are you going to do?"
It is impossible for Yao to take out the antidote by herself. Are they just going to turn a blind eye to what she did?
Zhao Shen said, "We should do what we have to do. We are not the ones who are passive now. Let's wait for her to come to us herself."
Ji Yunshu thought about it and understood what he meant.
Yao is no longer as secure as she was at the beginning. For Zhao Heng, she has taken action again and again, and everything she has done will leave traces.
If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
Sooner or later she'll be exposed.
"It's so frustrating that I know she set the fire but I can't do anything."
Perhaps it was because of the dry weather, Ji Yunshu always felt unhappy.
Zhao Shen laughed and said, "She started a fire, but the person she wanted to burn to death didn't die. She's even more frustrated than us."
Thinking of this, Ji Yunshu didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
"Will you tell Zhao Heng about this?"
People like Yao are extremely determined.
Ordinary things can't affect her at all.
At the moment, everything she did seemed to be for Zhao Heng.
If Zhao Heng turned against her, it might make her life more difficult.
Zhao Shen said: "Jingzhe has already hinted to Yao Ruolan. She is not stupid. If she wants to survive, she knows what to do."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but sigh, how did Yao Ruolan get to this point?
She is obviously the female lead, so shouldn't she be the one to choose whoever she chooses be the male lead?
Why do you have to hang yourself on a crooked tree?
Zhao Shen's words made her look forward to Yao Ruolan's counterattack.
The two talked for a while, and then Ji Yunshu fell asleep.
She slept very deeply that day. When she woke up the next day, Zhao Shen had already been called away by Emperor Jingming.
Ji Yunshu had breakfast before paying his respects to the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother took her hand and asked, "It seems you slept well. What happened to the fire last night?"
Ji Yunshu was helpless: "Shouldn't Auntie have known about such a small matter long ago? Why would she still ask me?"
The Queen Mother also released people from the Marquis' Mansion, which was definitely for her own good.
Ji Yunshu had no objection to this. There were always things she could not take care of, and with the Queen Mother's people watching over her, she felt more at ease.
