661 The Deep Meaning Behind the Fire



The meaning behind the 661 fire

The fire broke out in heavy snow. No one would believe that it was not man-made. As for who did it, it was not something that small fry like them could control. They just had to monitor the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince and protect his safety.

The guards sent by the Emperor were ostensibly to protect the Ninth Uncle, but in reality they were monitoring him. Seeing the Ninth Uncle rushing into the fire, the guards hurried forward and followed closely around him, protecting him tightly to prevent him from being hurt by the fire and to prevent him from escaping with the help of the fire.

They would rather die than let the Ninth Prince get hurt even a little in the fire. The guards protected the Ninth Prince with trepidation. When the flames rushed over, the guards ignored the pain and stood in front of the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince seemed to have seen nothing. He walked slowly in the flames in brocade clothes. He was calm and noble, and did not look at all embarrassed to escape. It was not known whether it was the guards' illusion or something else, but the guards always felt that wherever the Ninth Prince went, the flames automatically dispersed. The Ninth Prince made way for him, and the people outside watched him walk out of the sea of ​​fire step by step, without reacting for a long time.

What they didn't know was that after they left, several dark shadows jumped into the prison and sealed the hole connecting the cell to the outside world. The fire wiped out all traces. Even the emperor couldn't find out how the Ninth Prince walked out of the Zongrenfu prison...

There was a fire in the clan prison, and the Ninth Prince nearly died in the fire. With such a big incident, the Emperor couldn't cover it up even if he wanted to. Besides, the Ninth Prince wouldn't allow the Emperor to cover it up. If he covered it up, wouldn't his suffering be in vain? The smoke from the fire was also choking.

At the morning court the next day, several officials jointly wrote a letter accusing the manager of the Zongrenfu prison of dereliction of duty. The Zongrenfu prison was set on fire and nearly 80% of it was burned, especially the area where the Ninth Prince stayed, which was almost completely destroyed.

This arson was obviously aimed at the Ninth Prince. Fortunately, the Ninth Prince was lucky enough to escape the disaster. The adults wrote to the emperor requesting him to thoroughly investigate the case and find out who wanted to kill the Ninth Prince.

The emperor's face turned pale and he ordered on the spot that the Ministry of Justice should find out who was responsible for the arson within half a month and that all officials from the Ministry of Clan Affairs should be removed and replaced by his own people.

The several adults who signed the joint letter spoke again, saying that the arson was aimed at the Ninth Prince, and the arsonist has not been found yet. The safety of the Ninth Prince is worrying and the prison is too unsafe.

Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of the late emperor and the fact that the Ninth Prince is your only remaining brother, allow the Ninth Prince to return to the Ninth Prince's Palace. Before the Ninth Prince's guilt is determined, although he is a prisoner, he is also a prince. The Ninth Prince's life should not be in danger. It would be best to release the people in the Ninth Prince's Palace and let them protect the Ninth Prince.

At this moment, the emperor could no longer maintain his composure. Although these people did not say it explicitly, their words and deeds revealed one meaning, that is, the sudden fire in the clan prison must be related to the emperor, and he, the emperor, wanted to kill his only remaining brother.

The emperor was so angry that he almost threw the memorial in the minister's face. He was really wronged. Although it seemed that he benefited the most from this incident, he actually did nothing.

How stupid must he be to use such an obvious killing move, but these bastards didn't even say a word to blame him. They just acted like they knew it all, leaving him no place to say anything.

The emperor was very angry and walked towards the palace where his ninth uncle was as soon as the morning court was over.

Yes, there was a big fire yesterday. After the Ninth Prince came out of the clan prison, he rushed directly into the palace and said to the emperor with a smile: "Brother, I am afraid that only the palace can I sleep in Dongling."

This one sentence made the emperor furious. Looking at the dead face of the Ninth Uncle, the emperor, with a cold face, ordered the eunuchs to clean up the palace where the Ninth Uncle used to live and let the Ninth Uncle move in.

It is better to let the Ninth Prince live in the palace than to let him return to the Ninth Prince's Palace.

"Could it be that my ninth brother has turned into a spirit?" The emperor asked the eunuch beside him after the Ninth Prince left.

The fire started at the perfect time. Even if there was no fire tonight, there would have been a fire in the clan prison in a few days. Unfortunately, the Ninth Prince got the upper hand and he succeeded in such an obvious frame-up.

"Your Majesty is wise. No matter how smart the Ninth Prince is, he still falls into your hands. Look... the Ninth Prince has come into the palace obediently. In the palace, no matter how capable the Ninth Prince is, he can't do anything." The eunuch stepped forward and flattered the emperor appropriately.

As the emperor's confidant, the eunuch knew that the emperor wanted to use a fire to clear out the forces of the Ninth Prince's hiding in the clan house, and to frame the Ninth Prince, making people think that the fire was set by the Ninth Prince's uncle, intending to discredit the emperor. The result...

The two brothers thought of the same thing, but the Ninth Prince acted faster and caused a fire to trap the Emperor. Although the Emperor achieved his goal of clearing out the spies from the clan house, he could not let anything happen to the Ninth Prince in a short period of time.

An inexplicable fire in the clan house allowed the Ninth Prince to escape from prison smoothly and enter the palace. Moreover, the Emperor had to protect the Ninth Prince's safety. Before the charges against him were determined, nothing could happen to him.

When Feng Qingchen got up in the morning, he heard Tong Jue describing in vivid detail the fire in the clan prison. He was not worried about the safety of the Ninth Prince at all. The Ninth Prince came and went freely in the clan prison. It would be strange if he was not prepared.

"This fire started at the right time." Feng Qingchen wiped his face with a handkerchief and said with a smile.

"Miss? What do you mean?" Tong Jue stood there blankly with his mouth wide open. He mechanically took the handkerchief from Feng Qingchen's hand, looked at Feng Qingchen in surprise, and asked with his eyes: Miss, is that what I think?

Did the Ninth Prince set the fire himself?

"Swallow your words. How dare you make random guesses about the royal family's affairs?" Feng Qingchen glared at Tong Jue warningly.

Tong Jue came back to his senses, stuck out his tongue, smiled playfully, and said, "I dare not."

Feng Qingchen then retracted his gaze and reminded Tong Jue: "The less you know, the safer it will be for you. There are some things that we cannot interfere with. If something goes wrong, I will not be able to protect you."

"Tong Jue understands. I won't dare to do it again next time." Tong Jue nodded repeatedly. Seeing Feng Qingchen walking out, he hurriedly stepped forward and opened the curtain for her.

Seeing Tong Jue being so attentive, Feng Qingchen accepted it with a smile, put on his thick cotton coat, and walked out, while thinking about the fire in the clan prison.

Others didn't know what was going on, but she knew. The Ninth Prince showed up at her place last night, and not long after he left, the prison at the Imperial Clan House caught fire. She didn't believe that the Ninth Prince didn't do anything.

The Ninth Prince made a move at this time. First, the secret of the clan prison could no longer be kept, so he simply destroyed it all. At the same time, he found a reason for the Emperor to replace everyone in the clan prison, so that it would be easier for him to plant someone else there.

Second, the plan to create a god has begun. Even if he has no freedom in the palace, it doesn’t matter. It will only take a few days, and the emperor cannot keep him in the palace forever.

In a big fire, the Ninth Prince took full advantage, and Feng Qingchen secretly praised it as a good move.

She is looking forward to today's free medical consultation and porridge distribution. How will the Ninth Prince use this opportunity to build momentum?
