334 Auspicious, leaving this imperial city

When Zhai Dongming received the news, he rushed to the city gate and found that his soldiers all looked pale, as if they had lost their souls. They were shivering in the hot summer and looked like they were possessed by evil spirits. Zhai Dongming was furious.

Possessed? Seeing a ghost?

What kind of evil spirit or ghost do they have? If there really are ghosts and gods in this world, they are not the ones who should die. They have never done anything wrong in their lives and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. They do not care about ghosts and gods, let alone take them to heart.

Which soldier's hands are not stained with blood? After a war, the bones can be piled up into a mountain. Who in the palace doesn't have lives on their hands? What about gods and ghosts? Gods and ghosts are also afraid of people. But just when he was about to open his mouth to scold, something unexpected happened...

boom……

There was a loud noise, and Zhai Dongming looked in the direction of the sound, only to see clouds of fire rolling over the imperial palace and thick smoke rising into the sky.

"Oh no, something happened to the emperor." Zhai Dongming had been educated to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic since childhood. Even though he was dissatisfied with the emperor in his heart, his first reaction was to worry about the emperor's safety.

"Enter the palace and protect the emperor." Zhai Dongming gave the order quickly, straightened his robe and ran towards the stable, entering the palace to protect the emperor.

No matter what, the emperor cannot be in danger. Once something happens to the emperor, several adult princes will start fighting for the throne, and the country will be shaken.

Zhai Dongming's palms were sweating and he kept telling himself to stay calm, stay calm. The heavy burden of stabilizing the imperial city fell on him.

"Sir, look?" The personal soldier was about to help Zhai Dongming onto his horse, but was shocked by the strange sight in the sky.

Zhai Dongming was about to curse, what else could he look at at this time, but when he looked up, he found...

"Colorful auspicious clouds? How could this happen?"

On one side there was a raging sea of ​​fire, and on the other side there were colorful auspicious clouds. Could it be that the rumors circulating in the streets were true, and were there really gods and ghosts?

Zhai Dongming suddenly became alert and swallowed. It seemed that he had not said anything just now. Fortunately, he did not say anything, otherwise it would be a slap in the face.

"Hurry, go check what's going on." Zhai Dongming calmed down. There was a sea of ​​fire on one side and auspicious clouds on the other. There were some things he couldn't help but believe.

If this is the case, then the emperor will be fine. Moreover, if he enters the palace at this time, if anything happens, he will only become a victim of a coup.

"Guard the city gates tightly, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." What we need to do now is to block the news and find out as soon as possible who was killed in the huge fire in the palace and what the colorful clouds in the sky are.

"yes."

Zhai Dongming divided the troops that could be mobilized in the imperial city into four groups. The first group went into the palace to protect the emperor; the second group went to the homes of the princes and ministers to guard them; the third group went to protect Xiling Tianlei, Beiling Fengqian and Su Wan ostensibly, but in fact it was to control them and kill them when necessary; the fourth group was used to strengthen the guard of the imperial city and prevent anyone from entering or leaving.

If the sudden explosion in the palace shocked the Ninth Prince, then the sudden appearance of the colorful auspicious clouds in the sky made him doubt his own eyes. But the Ninth Prince dared to use his own head to guarantee that he was not mistaken.

No, that place looked so familiar. If he remembered correctly, the sky above the colorful auspicious clouds seemed to be the Phoenix Mansion. The Ninth Prince's tense face relaxed a little. So that's what was going on.

The Ninth Prince looked at Feng Qingchen from the side. Seeing the bright smile on Feng Qingchen's face, he knew that his guess was correct: "Did you create the five-colored auspicious clouds?"

At the top of the mountain, the wind made the hems of their clothes rustle, and they stood there like statues, and from a distance they looked like a pair of immortals standing there.

"Why are you so sure it's me?" Feng Qingchen asked instead of answering. With the loud noise, he calmed down. He no longer had the pride and excitement he had before. He had carefully prepared for ten days just for such a moment, and when this moment came, the joy was only for a moment.

Killing is actually very simple. With just a light press, Li Xiang, who had troubled her for months, died. With the death of Li Xiang, Feng Qingchen felt empty in her heart.

She and Li Xiang should be of the same kind. They had only met once, but they were still fighting to the death. It was just that she was luckier than Li Xiang, because in the end it was Li Xiang who died, not her.

"Could it be anyone else except you? The auspicious clouds above the Feng Mansion are beautiful." It is so beautiful that it seems unreal, so beautiful that people cannot doubt that it is man-made. The Ninth Prince once again examined Feng Qingchen, and the more he looked, the more he felt that he did not know Feng Qingchen well enough.

Feng Qingchen was like a treasure. Every time he thought he had dug out all the treasure, he would find that there was another layer of treasure. The deeper he dug, the more dazzling the treasure became, making it more and more difficult to let go.

The emperor is the boat and the people are the water. Water can carry the boat but can also overturn it. Once the people rebel, even the emperor may not be able to suppress them. Didn’t the previous dynasty fail because of the people’s uprising?

Monster, Xiangyun, this has strangled the emperor's soft spot. Even if Li Xiang was not dead, the emperor would drag Li Xiang out and burn him alive to calm the people's panic.

"It is indeed beautiful. Don't worry, there will be no more auspicious signs like this. I will not use the same method twice." The auspicious clouds above the Feng Mansion were like shooting stars, flashing by in a flash. If it were not for the dazzling multicolored clouds, everyone would have suspected that they had seen it wrong, and this was exactly what Feng Qingchen wanted: "Ninth Uncle, we have seen enough of the beautiful scenery. We should go back."

From then on, they went their separate ways and treated what happened last night as if nothing had happened.

Feng Qingchen closed his eyes and suppressed the reluctance and struggle in his heart.

With this auspicious sign, the fire in Feng Mansion was satisfactorily explained, and she was completely cleared of all charges. No one would easily mention the stains on her body, and those people would not dare to attack her for losing her virginity before marriage. She could have a new life like an ordinary person.

"Go back? Do you think that with such a big thing happening in the palace, the imperial city won't be under martial law and you will be allowed to come and go freely? Do you think the emperor will just accept it after suffering such a big loss?" The Ninth Prince looked at Feng Qingchen with amusement.

With so many princes in the city, how could they miss such an opportunity? Did Feng Qingchen think that by stirring up the water, the water would become clear as long as he let it sit for a while?

If Li Xiang dies, the emperor will have a headache, and once he finds out that Li Xiang's death is related to Feng Qingchen, Feng Qingchen will also have a headache.

"In that case, then I won't go back. The Feng Mansion has been destroyed and I no longer have a home here. The world is so big that there is no place in which I, Feng Qingchen, cannot go." Feng Qingchen said indifferently. She believed that the Ninth Prince had a plan already. Besides, it would not be so easy for the Emperor to find out about her.

There are many people in this world who want Li Xiang dead, and Feng Qingchen is not even on the list. In addition, once Li Xiang dies, many people will come to trouble the emperor, and the emperor will not have time to care about a small shrimp like her.

Besides, there are not many people and things in this imperial city that are worth her staying for. If it were not for the safety of those people, to clear Xi's suspicion and not to implicate those who helped her, she would really leave.

As for the Ninth Uncle?

It was impossible for them to be together, so why force it? As for what happened between them last night, Feng Qingchen only thought that the Ninth Prince's skills were too high, causing her to be obsessed. She just needed to treat last night as a beautiful memory...
