Chapter 100: Prince An has the intention of rebellion
Zhao Qingshu was startled and immediately rescued Princess Anping from the blue flames.
Although not the entire body was burned, it was just the face that was burned.
He wanted to find a quilt to put out the fire on his sister, but found that the boudoir had been emptied.
I had to take off my coat and wrap it around her head to put out the fire.
Princess Anping's hair was burnt to the point of being almost gone, and a large area of her face was also burned.
Zhao Qingshu shouted to the maid behind him: "Quick, go get the imperial physician!"
After the maid left, he hurriedly carried his sister out of the burning boudoir.
Came to the tree where the maid was kneeling.
He asked in a deep voice: "You guys were guarding outside, didn't you hear any movement?"
Of course the maid didn't dare admit that she heard it, but she ignored it.
"My Lord, I didn't hear anything."
"Didn't you see anyone coming in or out?"
"No."
Zhao Qingshu looked at the boudoir filled with smoke, and his anger reached its peak.
"'Ghost Thief'!"
As soon as the words fell, Princess Anping woke up from her fright.
"Please spare me, I don't want to die. I'll give you all the money, all of it."
Zhao Qingshu heard that she had seen the "ghost thief" and immediately said softly: "Anping, it's my brother, don't be afraid."
The familiar voice soothed Princess Anping's emotions.
The fear in his eyes faded and he regained consciousness.
She hugged Zhao Qingshu tightly, crying breathlessly, "Brother, I...ah, it hurts!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she pulled the burn on her face and grimaced in pain.
"My face hurts."
Zhao Qingshu grabbed Princess Anping's hand and prevented her from touching his face.
"Don't be afraid, the doctor will be here soon. Anping, tell your brother first, have you seen the 'ghost thief'?"
Princess Anping's body trembled again, her eyes filled with fear.
"Yes, he said that if I didn't obey, he would rape me and then kill me. Brother, you don't know how ugly he is and how ugly his smile is."
In fact, the man that Ye Chutang disguised himself as was not ugly at all, he just had an ordinary face.
Of course, compared with Qi Yanzhou, her appearance was overshadowed.
Zhao Qingshu asked again: "Is he a human or a ghost? What is his body shape? What does his face look like? What did he say to you?"
Princess Anping was so frightened at the time that she didn't even dare to look at the "ghost thief", so how could she remember the details?
She tried hard to remember, scratching her head instinctively.
But he scratched off a bunch of black ash from the burnt hair and it got all over her face.
She looked at the black powder in the palm of her hand in disbelief, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
***
After Ye Chutang left Fanhua Courtyard, he followed the location provided by Princess Anping and went underground to the stable in the northwest corner.
There is a warehouse for storing hay behind the stable, and there is a secret room under the warehouse.
There were some yellow and white things, as well as a lot of food in the secret room.
Putting these two things together easily makes people think of one word - treason.
Ye Chutang immediately used his special ability to sense and found that there were many weapons buried under his feet.
“It’s really not surprising at all.”
It seems that everyone who is only one step away from the throne has a rebellious heart!
She pretended not to have discovered the weapon, leaving behind the bomb that could explode at any time, and only took away the gold, silver and food.
Then we went to the wine cellar in the large kitchen.
Today is Princess An's birthday banquet. The kitchen should be the busiest place, but it is empty at the moment.
Not only the people from Prince An's Mansion, but even the imperial chef were dragged away to put out the fire.
It just happened to be convenient for Ye Chutang.
The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, and all that was purchased was top quality, which she put away in her space.
Even the seasonings, dishes and pots were not spared.
After the kitchen was ransacked, she went to the storeroom where the dry goods were kept.
Pack the goods and cabinets together and collect them.
There is a wine cellar below the warehouse.
As soon as Ye Chutang opened the door of the cellar, he smelled the intoxicating aroma of wine.
Prince An loves wine, and his wine cellar has many aged fine wines.
In order to entertain the guests today, he also bought a lot of famous wines from Beijing.
The wine cellar is almost full.
Ye Chutang unceremoniously collected all the wine into the space, not even leaving behind the empty jars.
In the south corner of the wine cellar, there is a hidden space.
Inside were two large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry given by the late emperor when Prince An left the palace to set up his own residence.
The box was sealed behind a wall with earth bricks.
He planned to give these rewards as a dowry for his daughter, so Princess Anping knew about it.
Ye Chutang directly used his earth-related abilities to move the two boxes out and happily put them into the space.
At this point, Prince An's Mansion was emptied by her.
Before leaving, she set fire to the kitchen and woodshed.
Ye Chutang returned to the ice cellar in Prince Chen's mansion.
Qi Yanzhou hasn't woken up yet, but his reddish hair color has returned to normal.
The fire poison was suppressed.
After feeding him a pill to treat internal injuries, he was sent to the study.
Before Ye Chutang left, he made some noise so that the people in Prince Chen's Mansion could find him.
She went underground back to Ning Chuyuan's boudoir and felt her merit points.
She was so startled that she almost jumped up.
I used earth-related abilities too many times today, and they were all types that consumed a lot of energy.
Ye Chutang thought that there were not many merit points left, but it turned out to be nearly 100,000 points more than before!
If it wasn't for saving her (although she didn't need it), Qi Yanzhou wouldn't have been beaten by the shadow guard, which almost led to his death from the poison.
She saved Qi Yanzhou as a way of repaying a favor, but she didn't expect to earn so much.
“I dare not imagine how much my merit points would increase if I could cure his fire poison.”
She must get this big order!
After muttering softly, Ye Chutang lay down on the bed to rest.
Perhaps because she was too tired from exercising too much, she fell asleep in seconds.
***
at this time.
Almost the entire Prince An’s Mansion was burned down.
For a moment, Prince An didn't know whether to look for someone in the guest house or go to the other houses to put out the fire.
Fortunately, among the guests attending the banquet today there was the commander of the military department, and he immediately dispatched a battalion of soldiers over.
The troops from the Military Affairs Department went to put out the fire, while the people from Prince An's Mansion were searching for people in the ruins.
People from Jingzhao Prefecture and Dali Temple were also dispatched to investigate the disappearance of Qi Yanzhou and others, as well as the fire in the palace.
Each official was questioned individually and all were cleared of suspicion.
The guest house was also thoroughly cleaned.
Only body parts and blood were found.
But none of the remains belonged to Qi Yanzhou, Qin Muyun and Ye Chutang.
The three people disappeared out of thin air!
Some people speculate.
"The guest house has become a ruin. It is definitely not human error. It must be the work of 'ghost robbers'."
"Why did the 'Ghost Thief' capture these three people? Could it be that he was attracted by their looks?"
"There are flying knives, swords, and five-clawed hooks in the ruins. They must have been the scene of a fierce fight."
"Why did the 'ghost thief' come to Prince An's Mansion? What happened in the guest house?"
Prince An felt a headache after hearing this and looked at Qin Zheng, whose face was pale.
"Prime Minister Qin, can the guests leave now?"
Qin Zheng had no reason to keep anyone here, so he nodded.
"Let's all go."
The guests felt that there was something weird about Prince An's Mansion today and immediately said goodbye and left.
What if the "ghost thief" strikes back and turns them into mutilated parts as well?
Ye Jingchuan did not leave.
Although he acted indifferent to Ye Chutang's disappearance, he didn't want anything to happen to her at all.
The lives of Kong Ru and her two sons were in her hands.
His path to becoming a marquis also depends on her!
"Prince An, I want to talk to you alone."
